Every afternoon, Monday through Friday Sheriffs Department Deserves More Attention The record of violent deaths in Harnett County dur ing the past year should provide every citizen with plen ty of food for thought. During 1951', there were five murders in Harnett oOottty, two drownings, two suicides, a fatal burning and a variety of other serious crimes in which there was no fatality. In addition to this record, 17 persons were killed and 234 others injured in 436 accidents on Harnett’s roads and highways during the year. Highway 'fatalities were nearly doubled during the year. There was one less murder in 1951, although five homicides is still nothing to boast about and provides the citizens of the county nothing for pride. Reviewing this record makes us realize again just how desperately Sheriff Bill Salmon needs some help in enforcing the law. Most citizens of the county will no doubt be sur prised, to learn that Harnett’s sheriff has only one full time-paid deputy; all the others are part-time officers who find they can’t make a living'at the job and are forced to take other additional jobs to make ends meet. And need we remind you that this county is almost 60 miles across from one point to the other and that the coufißr’s population is nearly 50,000 and increasing all the June. Oust imagine, for instance, a city of 50,000 people and onlfjpne paid chief of police and one full-time officer to assst-him. ■Jfct, few people seem to be worried about it. •The matter has been brought before every county boaflXTof commissioners during recent years and no rem edy»&as been found. Every suggestion the sheriff and othfl! delegations have made has been turned down. ffihe answer is always the same—no money to do the can appreciate the fact that taxes are high 3&qt we’re wondering how other counties manage to protjjge a large sheriffs department with plenty of paid deputies, radio-equipped cars apd ojther necessary equip ment. . ■ I Many counties smaller and poorer in resources than Harriett are doing it. It just seems that a solution could be found. We hate to admit that other counties are moire progressive and more advanced in the field of law enforcement than Harnett. The lack a£ a sizeable staff of deputies is simply an invitation to the criminals to go ahead and violate the law. After all, most any crime can be committed arid tjie criminal can escae before one lone officer can travel from one end of the county to the other to investigate. Harnett’s county board of commissioners will hold another meeting on Monday. We believe this problem enough and we want no increase. presents to the board a real challenge and a real oppor tunity to render service to the citizens anu taxpayers. And, regardless of the cost, we believe adequate law enforcement and protection ft economy in the long run, and 'Would result in financial savings to the taxpayers. Crime is a costly business. • Frederick OTHMAN * WASHINGTON.—I might as well be honest about old Nineteen Fifty l one; It could have been a lot worse. For one thing I’m still alive.

President Truman has lost the lerci ship of his party: His so call ed “Program.” a medley of socia listic am! class measures, designed to catch bloc votes, will not even get a hesu-Jng. The economic fac tansies of 'his economic adviser Leon Keyserling. have whiffed off into the cloudy Miasma whence they e»me. The Democratic leader ship in the Senate is no longer un ified. It -is each man for himself— particularly those Senators who re , quire re-election. In the house, the confusion is ! equally general. The success of Congressman Cecil King's sub-com mittee in uncovering corruption has l whetted many an appetite for sim l ilar service and acclaim There is likely to be committee competition ( in this field. In the Senate, the Republicans : remain under the leadership of ; Senator Robert A. Taft, except that the Eisenhower contingent, . particularly those who are vice ' presidential hopefuls, will seek to 1 clip Taft’s wings. They will be treated without too much courtesy - at the convention approaches. The . stalwarts of Republican New Deal . isln, Duff of Pennsylvania, Lodge ’ And Saltonstail of Massachusetts, - tiorse of Oregon, and Margaret - Chase Smith of Maine, will find ; little comfort within their own , party, no matter how much praise I they get among tile intellectual hill-billies of Park Avenue.

President Tru man's relations with reporters at the White House are at an all-time low. The boys in the White House press room, usually among his stanchest friends, resent the fre quent cracks the President has been making about the press gen erally. And they don’t appreciate the bawling out they get when ask ing simple questions at the White House news conferences. It didn’t get into the papers, but Mr. Truman/ who returned from Key West tired and crochety, al most took two more digs at the re porters recently. First, he wanted to lecture them for not emphasiz ing that the list of war prisoners put out by the Chinese communists was unverified and probably inaccurate —something, incidentally, that all reporters already had st ressed. He also wanted to bawl them out for leaking the story that Judge Tom Murphy of New York bad turned down the job of chief graft investigator. However, the Presi dent’s press officers, led by table Joe, Short, convinced Mr- Truman Uwforget about/it. T tIINSIDE HUNGARY wP*pay Yfcr ran- 1 scan of the four D. 6. fliers in Hungary was made only after signi ficant back-stage debate which goes' to the very root of American policy toward Russian satellites. Inside fact is that the Defense Department, not the State Depart ment. made the decision to put up the ransom money—for two seas ons: 1. The four Air Force men were official representatives of the Un ited States and specifically of the Defense Department. 2. The Joint Chiefs of Staff shied #way from many threat of retalia tion for fear Hungary might call our bluff. This latter point gets flown to the root problem of whether It is wise to provoke the Soviet. It has come up time after time in the past, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff always shy away from any show down. In general, so does the State Department. This was the issue involved in the question of bombing Manchurian territory beyond the Yalu River. It has also been involved in much milder matters in the cold war. PROPAGANDA BALLOONS For instance, when this columnist last spring urged sending propa ganda ballons behind the Iron Curtain, it was frowned on by military advisers and by scone State Department officials. They feared a violent reaction in Moscow. But when the Crusade for Free dom was able to float ballons into Czechoslovakia and Poland, the freedom leaflets were mimeograph ed, tacked on telephone poles, mail ed anonymously to communist of- CUTI6I ; LJ§J i — -rrzj/ - WO 'w/Mb&k HIEkPH 1 1 V u - zi : . . . • ; - : r " - ; v ?

Public opinion became so riled inside Czechoslovakia that the com munists actually began looking for some way to free AP Correspon dent William Oatie in order to turn off the heat. However, when similar balloon or propaganda projects have been urged for Hungary and other satel lite countries, ap official wall of discouragement has been erected by the Pentagon and by some of the more timid souls in the State De partment. The reason is partly illustrated by" a story told by Gen. Bedell ' Smith, expert head of central in telligence, who recounts a conver sation between George Dimitrov and Btalip. “Are you afraid of war?” Stalin was asked. •‘Yea',” replied Stalin, “But not [ as afraid as the West.” there are plenty of propaganda steps that can be taken wiui no danger. of war. Further more, It remains a fact that the law irt \ propaganda stirs the.population .of Czechoslovakia or Hungary to h boiling point, the Kremlin is much more likely to act with reason. MILITARY PLAYGROUND When genatg. investigators probed army camps recently, they didn’t seem to notice that, while Fort Belvoir, Va„ has squandered thous ands of dollars on fancy golf courses, it has let its living quar ters run down shamefully. The Senate Preparedness Com mittee did rap Fort Belvoir for its "luxurious” Recreational facilities. But it overlooked (he condition of the crowded temporary barracks which have become fire hazards. Meanwhile Fort Belvoir is danger ously low qb water for fire control. In other words, Fort Belvoir has • negleeted its basic needs in order to build a Potomac boat club, skeet range, two glof courses, 24 bowling alleys, two field houses, two base- * ball fields. 11 saftball fields, (in eluding one with lights for night 1 playing), seven swimmings pools, 1 16 tennis courts, two riverside pie- 1 nic areas and literally dozens of ■ other recreational facilities.

H shows the practical slant which education is taking. Students relish courses which load to the solu tion of problems from real life. All good teachers try to prac ticaUse their courses. CASE C-334: Harry Yockey is the capable Oity Editor of the RE PORTER at Dover, Ohio. “Dr. Craße, I want to tell you a bout the practical psychology used here in our local high school,” he began. “For the past five years we have held a Career Day.' Some 30 busi ness and professional *men take part. “Career Day is the culmination of 8 weeks of classroom study on various vocations and government al activities. “Its purpose is to acquaint the students from the 9th through the 12th grades with various careers which they may wish to follow. “Prior to the actual Career Day itself, the students are asked to express their choice of consultants among the 30 visiting business and professional men. “Then, on Career Day, they get a chance to meet with the man of their choice and ask him questions both about the interesting and un interesting aspects of his vocation. PRACTICAL EDUCATION “The consultants are urged to list impartially the good and bad features of their specialty so the students will have a true picture. “Some consultants even take the students in their group on field trips to their business place, such as a newspaper office, or a hospital, a dental office or a factory, store, Jail courtroom, etc. “Our school officials have ex pressed themselves as enthusiastic about Career Day. For it gives the students some practical insight in to the matter of choosing a car eer. “Here is a table to show how the students evaluated the last Ca reer Day which we held: Comments No. es students Benefited 398 Undecided re vocation 18 Suggest improvements 7 Want longer conferences 26 Want more excursions 1, ~9 , ' V ■ . ■ ' » ■— jSjjSj&fHa'w’MaWo i oii\ By America's Foremost Personal Affairs Counselor GIRL AND MAN, LONG-TIME COMPANIONS.

The answer was no. she didn't think she would ever marry; and when I sa<v I loved her very much, she cried tor about an hour, thep ta)d me I should date ether girls— sto «*n't worthy of my love. I ,w(m qafied hack into the Ma rine* lew mqnths later, and we •greed to date others and did; but still I thought only of her. While I was on (fee coast, waiting to sail, she came with my mother to say goodbye, and we had a wonderful weak before I boarded ship. I had n’t asked her to come, but wa? glad rite dig, and hoped she had changed her mind about marrying me. Hut again her answer was no. she didn't love me. Then why the lonfcvtrip to see me? we exchanged friendly letters while I was away, and my love for •her pew. When home again, I didn’t brogch marriage for some time. When finally I did, she cried desperately and said something must be wrong with her; that I was wonderful, etc., and she should marry me, but couldn’t. We made an effort to break off, but won returned to dating, every week end, CUBE FAINT* DURING TALK After a little of this, we decided to find out, if possible, what- was fsßh®s6 raid maybe one could.

I wish we could give high school and college students more internships in life's real problems. For example, students in- civic courses Should serve as honorary clerks or judges of elections, and spend a fid) day at the precinct polling place, watching the voting and counting of ballots at night. « Speech students should be re- - quired to address several out-of school audiences, such as Sunday school classes, Beaut troop, Klwa nis, Lions, Exchange, Optimist or Rotary Club, etc. Every high schooler would also benefit from a few Saturdays spent 1 in house-to-house selling. It isn’t enough to take students on a visiting trip, though that is good. They should be required to DO some of the things invplved a > and thus perform an internship, * even if only one day in duration. For confidence comes from first -1 hand experience with life’s prob -1 lems. ,So this Career Day which Harry Yockey has so well explain ed is a wonderful step in the right direction.
