Make a note to see that this is carried out. North Carol ina't New Governor Young, sertoua, dedicated, ambtdous, able, realistic Terry Sanford of Fayetteville today occupied the Governor's big chair In the gradou* old North Carolina Capitol at Raleigh. A* he begins hi* dudes his direction and determination are dear. He made what could be called hi a inaugural address at the Southern Educadon Conference at Chapel HU1 In No vember. In deer, concise, detail, free of oratorical trappings and wordiness, be made improved education for all his ob jective. Young Sanford as of today does not have the Imposing presence, the ebullient charm of some others who -hew* sat In that big chair. He does not have that homespun, branch head ruggedness of Kerr Scott. But Terry Snaford has a dear understanding of the world In which we live and of how North Carolina must do to make the most of that world for its people. Depend on it, Terry Sanford will not dodge Issues. When he has thought through a problem and has come to a conclusion on the basis of the facrs, he will face It. He will do this despite any harsh pressures put upon him, despite possible wpopularlty of his views. Directness and forth rights ess are jewels the public should appreciate in chdf executives. San ford has them. He has honor, pride, and love of stats. He builds his house on the rock of educadon that all the people may have better lives.

Is the trend upward - or standing still? Here is the record for the modern South . . . Based on the 1960 U. S. Census, in the last decade the population increase in the 13 states served by Southern Railway was greater than the present combined population of 14 states outside of the South! What's more, this gratifying gain in population was accompanied by a per centage increase in per capita personal income higher than the national average. This kind of progress has a real meaning for all of us in the South. It has brought about new and fast-growing markets for goods of all kinds. It has helped expand and diversify the economic development of the modern South. It has created thousands of new job opportunities for men and women workers here. Yes, this is progress, Southern style. It is more than a proud record of the past It's a promise of still greater achievements ahead, with all of us continuing to work together for the continued progress and growth of the amazing, modern South.

At the feaat of the dedl cadon of the temple, Jesus said: "My Father and 1 are one." At this die Jaws took 19 atones to caat at him. They accuaed him of blaa phemlng against God. They said: "Thou, being a man, makeat thyself God." Jesua answered: "How can you aay: Thou Maaphemeat, because I have aald : I am the Son of God? Believe the works that Atomic Clocks May Lose Second In Million* Of Year* Science Is starting ? 1611 lme with clock* to accurate ihey may lose only one secona In million* o( years. The fantastic precision li made possible by the ibeolute ly steady vibrations of atoms, acting as pendulums In time pieces as revolutionary as the sundial of 1400 B. C. A clock tails time by re cording the regular recur rence of an event such as the swing of a pendulum or a cycle of alternating electric current. A clock counts the recurrences and translates ? the information In terms of hours and minutes. EARTH RUNS SLOW But neither the swing of a pendulum nor the current cycle nan electric clock Is regular enough for present-day scien tific work. Even the great "pendulum" of niture - the earth Itself - does not always take the same time to rotate around its axis. The globe now slowing down, takes a bout one-thousandth of a sec ond longer to turn than it did three years ago. The rotation is uneven due to a slight wob ble. To make a really accurate dock,, sclentslts needed a , phenomenon that occurs with ? extreme regularity. They found It In the minute vibra tions of the atom. Each type , of atom has its own pardcular frequency of incredibly con- i stant vibration. In 1948, the National Bureau of Standards built a clock uslnr 1 as its pendulum the nitrogen ? atom in ammonia. The nitrogen , atom swings back and forth ( at the rata of 24,000,000 times a second. Three years later, Charles i H. Townes, of Columbia Uni versity, waa sitting lnaWash t niton park with f'dme on my hands," when he suddenly conceived an even more ac- , curate ammonia clock. With his colleagues, he devised a new timekeeper called a maser, an abbreviation for "microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radla t?on." The first maser worked by ? picking up the radio wive which , in ammonia molecule emits each dme Its nitrogen atom vibrates. The wave receiver la adjusted to vibrate at pre cisely the same frequency aa ? the nitrogen atom. This very, very steady movement con trols die motor of an elec tric clock. la I960, Harvard University scientists announced the deve lopment of a a till more ac curate maser, using high-ene rgy hydrogen atoms trapped in a quartz bulb. The oscil lating itoma give off a 11 cendmeter radiation chorus which is so steady that the dock is reported to have aa accuracy of one pert In a quad - rtllieo.Thia means, drferetic ally, that It oodd measure dme with an arror of only one second In J3.000.000 year*.

The aposdes have also given witness that Jesus Is the Son of God, and gave 19 their Uvea for this belief; so too, have martyrs down through the ages. The Apostle St. Thomas fall iqion his knees before the risen Christ ex claiming: "My Lord and my God." (St. John 20:28). "He fa true God," (I John 5:20.) The Goapals and the later portions of ? the New Testa ment, tha Acta of tha Apos des, the letasr of St. Paul and Revelafloa leave no room for doubt on the point of the divinity of Jeaua Chrlat.

It also may help determine whether Albert Einstein's theories of rela tivity are correct. Dr. Einstein's special the ory of relativity holds that the hands of a clock turn more slowly If it is moving. Thus a clock placed in a vehicle traveling at the speed of light would come to a stop. According to the general the ory, the rate at which a clock '' runs also depends on the stren ght of the gravitational field It Is In. A clock ticks more slowly as It is moved closer to a large body. These theories may be tested eventually by placing an atomic clock in a satellite and comparing its record of time with that of identical atomic clocks on the ground. Satellites not only travel at 18,000 miles an hour; they are far less affected by gravity than objects on the earth's surface. Th?

Mayes Behrman, for the paat two year* ha* served a* Ex tenalon Director for the John C. Campbell Folk School at i Brasstown, where he baa de veloped the Literacy Move ment In the Southeast. At 67, this former southeastern sales manager for a firm which sells materials to schools and colleges, retired from his managerial dudes seven years ago. Redrement to Mr. Behr man merely meant changing jobs. Since retirement, he has worked five years as director of the merit employment pro gram In North Carolina and for the past two years at the Folk School. The literacy movement In the southeast was launched at the John C. Campbell Folk School by, Mr. Behrman. The school, a 35 year old non profit Institution, teachei ru ral families better agri cultural practices, woodwork ing. carving, weaving, wro ught -Iron and vegetable dvelne. Three years ago, the school added a division of literacy with Mayes Behrman as Its head. The division grew Into the Literacy Movement In the Southeast by television, with Mr. Behrman and his wife, Loretta, as coordinators. The literacy movement currently encompasses lit eracy programs on 14 com mercial TV stations in east ern Tennessee, the Carolinas. and Ohio, with about 5,000 students. At the first of the year stations began programs In Virginia and Texas. Publicity for the Behrmans and the fine work they have done has been given In the Congressional Record, TV Guide, Time Magazine, Pro gressive Farmer, and leading newspapers throughout the southeast. For example, the Raleigh News and Observer, ran a feature article in late October honoring the Behr mans as the "Tar Heel Cou ple of the Week." In Harry Golden's TV Guide story, he said, "One cannot underestimate the tremendous role played by the John C.

This Is 14% of the populadon. An arresdng fact to the think ing indlvlduall In order to enroll all of the people who need to be In classes, the combined effort of all or ganizations Is needed. There should be an organized at tempt between employers and representatives from civic groups in this county. The Business and Profes sional Woman's Club of Mur- ; phy made a generous grant to this cause last year when the teacher training program was held at the Folk School. The entire movement, based on Dr. Laubach's philosophy is voluntary. While aome funds are needed to pay expenses (a set of 98 thirty mlnuta films costs $6,000), the only cost to the student is $4.00 for books that he will keep. All other work,' including te levision time, is Free. Surely there are those who can give some time to get enrollees. j ? Mr. Behrman raised the money, nearly $15,000 to buy films and pay other expenaes for setting up the TV pro grams and brought the literacy | movement to Its present state. i He persuaded the stations to give the broadcast time, en listed volunteer workers who found students, places to hold ' classes, and TV sets. Mr. Behrman envisions a nationwide effort to teach the country's 10 million non readlng adults to read and write. Retired? Sure he did that 7 years ago, however, his re tirement did not mean quit ting. He and Mrs. Behrman work long hours in the base ment office of their hilltop home in Brasstown.

If the millions on the receiv ing end of this gigantic mai operation coast-to-coast and in Hawaii and Alaska have not already done so, now is the lime to return the familiar en velope with a donation to the county March of Dimes chap ter, local leaders urged this week. The world's largest vol untary health organization if seeking to prevent cripplini diseases, with its sights set a birth defects and arthritis an. at continued work in polio. These mailers, which repro duce the campaign theme, "Prevent 'Crippling Diseases ? Please Say Yes to the New March of Dimes," were ad dressed in great part by selfless volunteers who, by combing through telephone and other directories, were able to "spot" just about every family, ir their county. Addresses of new homes, not included in tele phone books, were obtained by these volunteers from real es tate boards, tax lists, from other official records, and from chambers of commerce. Hopelully, each of the 44 million families in the 'United States will have an opportun ity to help prevent crippling diseases by^ contributing to the March of Dimes between now and Jan. 31. The blue mailer contains an envelope with a pocket for a March of Dimes contribution by check or cash and with space for the donor's name and ad dress. A brief message ad dressed to "Dear Neighbor" explains the expanded prograir of The National Foundation and elsewhere on the mailer a few health figures are given? for example, that birth de? fecu cripple one out of every 16 babies in the United State*; that arthritis and rheumatism afJMct 11 million Americans; and that polio can still strike down any one of more than 88 million unvaccinated persons in the country.
