" Entered at the postaffice at North WOkes t?oro, North Carolina, as Second-Class matter under Act of March 4, 1879. Thursday, March 20, 1947 Paroled Criminals Robert L. Jessup, of Mount Airy, was sentenced in January, 1937, to 15 to 20 years for murder. # The minimum sentence would have kept him in prison until 1952. But last week Jessup killed another man at Mount Airy. He had been out of prison on parole since 1939, after having served only a little more than two years of his 15 to 20 year term. On top of that, Jessup had been in court nine times after receiving his parole and before he committed his second murder. That is clearly an indictment of the pa role system which is practiced in North Carolina. Parole officials explained that the nine times Jessup had been in court was after his parole was terminated in 1942. But the question arises as to why the rush in terminating the parole? If a person conscientiously intends to go straight, why should be want his parole terminated? If Jessup's parole had not been termi nated in 1942, he would have been sent back to prison where he should have been instead of being free to take a sec ond life by murder. * The free handed manner with which paroles are distributed around to mur Iders, robbers and other felons is turning loose on North Carolina society the smartest and most dangerous criminals, and leaving them to prey upon society with reckless abandon. Prison sentences in the eyes of the pub lic have become a disgusting joke. The ptiblic knows too well that a 15-year sen tence often means two years or less. If a man deserves a 15-year sentence after being tried by jury and found guil ty, is there any reason why he should not be compelled to serve at least a reason able part of the sentence? Is there any sound reason why a crim inal who is paroled after serving two years of a 15-year sentence not remain under conditions of parole for the balance of the 15 years? o Every 53 Seconds Every 53 seconds a fire breaks out in the United States. Every two minutes an American dwelling catches fire. Every fifty minutes someone dies in a fire or from burns. These grim truths were recently aired over the radio, by State Fire Marshal Mc Cormack of Tennessee, who spoke on one of the weekly nationwide broadcasts sponsored by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Mr. McCormack further observed that nearly 1,000 fires occur in homes alone each day?and a total of more than 650, 000 fires happen in this country annually. Ninety per cent of all these fires are the result of some careless act. "Careless use of matches and smoking," he said, "ac count for 30 per cent of all fires . . . De fective electric wiring and appliances, faulty cooking and heating stoves, and carelessness with gasoline and other in flammable liquids account for 46 per cent morel" At the end, Mr. McCormack urged his listeners to organize their own fire pre vention programs to correct the common hazards of fires in homes. This is the very essence of fire control. National and com munity campaigns, vital as they are, can not do the whole job. The problem of fire prevention comes down to every home and every resident within it And that is simp ly a way of saying that the problem of fire prevention comes down to you! Police Commissioner Urges Temperance Advertising Police Commissioner Eugene Connor, of Birmingham, Alabama, has recommended to the Governor that the output of distil leries, breweries, and wineries be taxed to set up an advertising, fund to promote temperance. In a letter to Governor Fol som, Mr. Connor proposed that the State itself "set up an advertising department to prepare advertisements to be run in the newspapers of the State depicting the evils of alcohol." "Distilleries, breweries, and wine com panies always print glowing, tempting pictures of their products which whet the appetite of people inclined to drink intox icants," he said. He suggested that the State advertise ments might point out the evils and trage dies arising from drinking and this adver tising could be paid for by the establish ment of a fund based upon a one per cent tax on liquor sales. He also expressed sup port of the proposal to adopt the use of scientific tests for intoxication, and the establishment of means of rehabilitation for alcoholics. Mr. Connor's suggestions! are reported by the Birmingham News! (2-7-47). - J TUP EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. Marriage succeeds or fails at seven points of adjustment. Those about to be married should consider these thoughtful ly and those already married could exam ine them with profit. 1. Physical. Many a marriage "goes sour" within the first few days because of ignorance here. There must be mutually satisfactory physical adjustment if the marriage is to be happy. It is physical at traction which causes a man and woman to marry. "Harmony In Marriage" by Wood (Eoundtable Press) is recommend ed for all married couples, and those a - bout to be married. The chapter on Physi pJeefPta Y^lliabIe ? tion m good taste. 2. Financial. There must be sharing of financial responsibility. Every married couple should make a budget and learn to live within their income. Use the ten ten plan,?give ten per cent to the Lord's work?save ten per cent. Where husband and wife work in the business world their incomes should be pooled. Each should know the other's income and financial re sponsibilities. 3. Psychological. It takes more than physical union to make a successful mar riage. There must be a common denomina tor of tastes and companionship. Both husband and wife must enjoy doing things together and do them together. 4. Sociological. Husband and wife must learn to know, understand, and get along with each other's relatives and friends. Much domestic friction is caused by "in law" trouble. Each must also learn how to fraternize with the family and friends of their mate. 5. Vocational." They must like the job by which they earn their living. Dissatis faction here reacts against marriage. They must either learn to like the job or get another. A woman who dislikes housekeep ing should never marry. If either dislikes children, they should not marry. 6. Parental. It takes children to com plete married happiness. When they come, let them be accepted as the gift of God and treated as such. But they must not be allowed to monopolize the atten tion of father or mother. They must con tinue to be husband and wife as well as parents. 7. Spiritual. No marriage can be happy and successful without enduring spiritual foundations. Only the God-centered home can be lastingly happy. Husband and wife should unite in the same chflrch. They should read the Bible daily and learn to pray together and aloud daily. "I" must become "we." Then both should seek the daily advice and counsel of God. They must learn to pray, "Not my will, but Thine be done." At these seven points marriage either succeeds or fails. At each of these points there must be satisfactory adjustment and cooperation by willingness to "give ancf take." Finally, the marriage machine must be lubricated daily with the oil of courtesy and appreciation, and it must be kept in repair. ABNORMAL ABSURDITIES By DWIGHT NICHOLS et *1 II ?? KAPPEKN (Notso) WWKBAX By the grapevine it has been learned that Borne members of the Coffee Club deserted the cof fee table at a late hour to gath er around a chopping blook . All members please note that Roy Forehand didn't pass around any cigars. It was a girl. When his second one was bora he was around Borneo or some place try ing to dig up enough points to get home from the army. He called the baby "Fire Points", because it granted him enough points to come home. The last one was 'born March and is "Tax Exemption." Some mem bers had a notion to burn Roy's hat and after a look at bis tower ing physique had another notion not to. Then came a question a bout whether or not it would be I legal to burn the grandfather's hat. Decision expected almost any time, is the latest report . A,schemale contributor hands this in: 'I've everything the glamour girl Can boast of nature's graces; I've curves and lines the same as she But not in the same places.
