Wit?o, What?
One cocktail or two, or a dozen, will
not make a dull man witty, nor an inept
man interesting in conversation; it just
makes it difficult to tell the difference.
A group of people fearing that they
cannot be interesting to each other, par
tially drug their self-criticism, their judg
ment, their associative processes and the
inhibitions which make human conduct
human; they give their body more con
trol over their mind, destroy a part of
their insight, their capacity to tell wheth
er the party has been gay, the food good,
the conversation witty.?Dr. Richard
Campbell Raines, Minneapolis, Minn.
City Manager Form
Government Effective
During recent years many municipali
ties have adopted the city manager form
of municipal government.
In most instances members of city coun
cils are not paid for their services and
yet they shoulder a great amount of re
sponsibilities, including worries about rou
tine matters.
If Mrs. John Doe's garbage isn't remov
ed at the time she thinks it should be one
or more members of the board will get
some nasty telephone calls. If somebody's
chickens get out the board members are
called up and given a thorough going ov
er. The board members don't get paid for
that kind of bother.
By employing a city manager the re
sponsibility for smooth operation of gov
ernmental affairs in a municipality can be
pinned down. With employes responsible
to him and with him working under the
responsibility of the city council there is
not as much passing the buck.
North Wilkesboro has employed as city
engineer Robert C. Faucett, who will act
to a great extent in the capacity of city
manager. Mr. Faucett is a trained and
experienced engineer and his services
should be valuable to the city in the pro
gressive era ahead. Although his duties
have not been too well defined, it is un
derstood, that he will have supervision of
all municipal activities and departments
except the police department.
Teacher Problem Not
Solved With Raise
School authorities here and elsewhere
report that the teacher situation will not
be as bad in the coming school term as
during the past three years, but it will be
bad enough.
Teachers, by the aid of a public opin
ion aroused by the press and other means,
gained a victory when the legislature
boosted their salaries by about 30 per cent
when only 20 per cent was recommended
by the state administration in Raleigh.
This will mean that a collie graduate
who has spent four years time and about
$4,000 to prepare to teach can earn about
$175 per month for nine months of the
year in place of the former $130, and that
there will be a few more who will teach
instead of taking better paying jobs in
business and industry.
But money is not everything and the
teacher needs to be lifted, again to her
rightful place in the realm of recognition
by the public. It used to be that a teacher
was recognized as a person above the av
erage, intellectually and morally. A teach
er was a leader.
But along came inflation with starva
tion salaries for teachers. Many of the
?
more able ones quit. Parents oniy recenuy
learned the true situation when their chil
dren began to fail in school and to come
home telling about what the teacher
didn't know.
With better teachers expected with
higher pay, let us give the teachers more
help, encouragement and respect and re
store the teacher to her rightful place as
a leader whose influence must remain
with children throughout their lives.

LIFE'S BETTER WAY
Walter e. isenhour
Hiddenite, N. C.,
LET US DO GOOD
It should be the sincere desire of all
mankind to do good. This is God's will
for us, and when we do His will He always
blesses us in a wonderful way. Our blessed
Lord, when He was on earth in bodily
form, "went about doing good,." thus
leaving an exampte that we sho\lld fol
low.
No one ever regrets doing all the good
he can as he journeys through life, but
we believe every one, sooner or later, re
grets doing harm. It is quite natural that
men come to the place in life where they
regret living in sin and wickedness, de
stroying good in their own lives, and like
wise destroying good in the lives of oth
ers. O the remorse that men suffer for do
ing harm! They can look back across the
years of their lives and see where they
have wasted their time and talent, and
perhaps destroyed their health,' arid
squandered their means, and neglected
their souls, and in the meantime have done
much harm to others, therefore they suf
fer regrefthat is oftentimes deep and
pungent.
However, when we live for God across
the years of life, pray much, read and.
study His holy Word, and live by it, and
then go about doing good to others, we
have much to rejoice over. This makes
life happy. Our consciences are clear and
our faces shine through the love and grace
of God. Hallelujah! My great, outstanding
desire is to do all the good I carf, there
fore I have preached the blessed Gospel
for more than thirty-four years and have
written enough to make more than sixty
volumes, which has been published in
many publications up and down the land.
At present I have three books that I am
endeavoring to get into the homes of the
people. The titles of these books are:
"Lost Gems Of The American People,
"Our Refuge and Fortress," and "Keepers
At Home." The price is fifty cents per
copy. However, I am sending forth these
books free to lots of people, especially the
sick and afflicted, shut-ins, and those in
prison. If my readers will send me the
names and addresses of such people, and
those who may be poor and needy, and
can't buy books, I shall be glad to mail
the books to them free. Please help me
do good by sending me the names of such
people. If you will enclose four cents in
stamps to mail the books with I shall ap
preciate it. However, send the names
whether you enclose a stamp or not. Let's
do all the good we can. This life will soon
be over, therefore it will be wonderful to
meet God and know that we have lived
for Him and blessed the world. Address
all mail to me.

DISCOURAGING?
Several hundred people have
faled In their duty several times
during recept weeks and shonld
have their sleep disturbed by
guilty conscience.
The Ai lerican Legion post
here is spending several hundred
dollars to give boys an opportun
ity to play Legion baseball, and
not enough people pay admission
to the games to pay for the
balls used. *"
We don't want to believe yet
that the people are not interest
ed in boys.
We know that a great majority
of people are working for some
body else and can't get off to
go to a game in the afternoon.
But a splendid game was
played Wednesday afternoon be
tween North Wilkes boro and
Llncolnton here. The stores and
business houses were closed, let
ting off for the afternoon at least
a hundred people in addition to
those who are not tied down by
jobs.
Instead of a crowd of two or
three hundre<f as could rightful
ly be expected, there were the
usual dozen or so of loyal fans
who are supporting the program
by attendance and a meagre
handful of additional spectators.
What's wrong with the people
here? What are they interested
in? Is money the only interest?
Are they lacy? Do fathers of
young iboys care nothing for help
ing to maintain a program which
will be beneficial to their own
at
with no facilities for recre
? except Juke and liquor
Joints?
We know that more people
would attend night games if we i
could have them. We know that
the afternoon sun is hot. But
oouldn't Te sacrifice Just a lit
tle comfort for a couple of hours
to give discouraged and handi
capped boys some badly needed
encouragement?
The boys on the Legion team
deserve high commendation for
the showing they have made.
This is their first opportunity to
play, and they are doing their
part.
Surely, they make errors which
are charged up in the score
book, but we can also charge
those errors up to the record
book of our lives for neglect.
The complacent people of this
community should be charged
with criminal neglect for not
providing and supporting such
programs for youth* as Junior
baseball. This type of neglect, is
helping to crowd the criminal
court dockets, Is aiding and as
sisting In promoting ignorance
and low moral standards.
The admission price of 50
cents for adults to Legion games
may be considered high when
that is the same charge as for
league games in nearby towns.
But at least a few hundred peo
ple should gladly pay that price
in order to help the Legion fi
nance a costly and valuable pro
ject for youth.
The boys are doing well. It
Is the complacent and selfish
public which is failing in its duty
and is going to pay for such
failure.

PROBABLY that faithful Buick
of yours still can show a
clean pair of heels to other cars
on die road ? probably still rides
and runs like a charm. It makes
you realize how wise you were
to have picked a Buick in the
first place.
Even though time always takes
a toll, Buicks do carry their
years well. They, can keep their
eagerness to go, their light
hearted gait and gentle comfort
? particularly when they are
rewarded with the considerate
care that Buick dealers know
how to provide. It's care that
brings out your car's youthful
spirit ? care that lets you feel
that suddenly it's young again.
Buick car care is something far
different from what's regularly
called service. It's, something
that only a Buick man can give.
Because he is trained in all the
needs and preferences of Buicks.
The tools he uses are the right
Buick tools. And any replace
ment part your car may need is
a Buick-engineered part
So it's easy to see why your car
is so ready to give you its best
when it receives regular Buick
car care?care by men who know
Buicks through and through and
love them heart and soul.

U1CK CARE -v
THIS WORM
TURNS A BIG CAR
A Buick steers with a linger touch.
Part of the secret is a stream of
66 steel balls that circle the worm
on the steering column. With these
balls there is so little friction that
steering is feather-light? so litHe
wear that the gear stays taut and
firm without frequent take-ups.
Your Buick dealer lubricates this
gear with just the lubricant Buick
intended. Anything heavier would
make steering stiff in winter?
anything lighter fails to give full
protection against wear.
It's another instance of how Buick
care keeps Buicks best. And the
same holds' true in whatever your
car needs ? lube |ob, tune-up,
major or minor repair.
