(jlljp fflarrrn Sernrii Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES, Editor ? DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year.$3.00; Six Months, $1.50 County Is Fortunate Warren County is indeed fortun ate that the Carolina Biological Supply Company is to establish its combined research laboratory and farm within three miles of the coun ty seat, on the farm where its president, Dr. T. E. Powell was born iuid spent his youth. It is nice that the county is to have such a worth while complex, which should make a definite con tribution to the economic life of the county, and it is also nice that one of Warren County's most suc cessful citizens will again resume his ties with Warren County. Dr. Powell left Warren County as a young man, and for that rea son is not too well known to War ren citizens except by reputation, but many of our citizens remember with pleasure his father and moth er, the late Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Powell, who lived for many years at the old Powell place just beyond a branch on the old Airport Road. Mr. Powell was the brother of the late John B. Powell, who for many years was postmaster at War renton. His son, Ben Powell, still lives at Warrenton. Another first cousin of Dr. Powell is James Har ris of Inez, whose mother was Mr. T. E. Powell's sister-in-law. Friends of the family here, and citizens generally, not only wish for Dr. Powell and his company much success with their enterprise here, but hope that it will serve to Hrav/ a former citizen back home. Let Planes Track Speeders The Goldsboro News-Argue Bills have been offered in the Legisla ture to allow the State Highway Patrol to use airplanes in its fight to reduce acci dents on the highways. The measure, if approved, would cor rect a serious error in judgment made by the General Assembly four years ago. At that term the legislators approved a mea sure which banned use of airplanes in bring ing charges against speeders. The ar gument was illogical, holding that to "spy" on a speeding vehicle from the air was "unfair". It was of a piece with the reason ing which persisted long after the electric eye had become common use in tracking mdown speeders*. ?,>?? - W_ No longer is there any objection to the ""electr lc~clo ck speed catcher. And there will be general approval of the proposal to give the Highway Patrol back its wings. Motor Vehicle Commissioner Pilston Godwin has quietly been clearing the way for an easy trip for the bills though the Legislature. He had given or offered trips in the Highway airplane to show the hon orables just how efficient are planes In reducing the speed mania on the roads. Psychologically the return of the Motor Vehicle Commission's planes to speed pa trolling would be excellent. Suppose you were driving along a highway and had for gotten the speed laws. You hear a plane above you and instinctively you slow down. You do so to make certain that the plane is not the Motor Vehicle patrol plane. Much support in favor of correcting the mistake of four years ago has been drummed up. Unless there is a major change, the bills to restore use of airplanes in safety patrol duty will get quick ap proval. Meddlesome Bureaucrat! St. Louis Post-Dispatch As the years race by we reflect often on our collegiate career, invariably recall ing that F in trigonometry and that D in Latin. To those alphabetical indices of an idly-spent youth we have long attributed our subsequent modest measure of success. There is simply no limit to what we might have become had we but applied outselves remorselessly to the rigors of Pliny the Elder and logarithms, we have grown quite fond of telling ourselves. Our accustomed reverie has now been shattered by a report from Edwin J. Shoben, Jr., who bears the formidable title of director of the Commission on Academic Affairs of the America Council on Educa tion. Mr. Shoben says that an analysis of 50 independent studies shows there is no cor relation between good grades in college and later success. It would probably be Just as well if Mr. Shoben's finding did not receive wide dissemination on college campuses, but that is not what bothers us. If there is no correlation between good grades and later success, the corollary would seem to be that there is no correla tion between poor grades and later failure. If this be so, Mr. Shoben, with one cruel kick, has deprived us of the crutch we have been using all these years to explain our lack-luster performance In the great arena of free enterprise. Now we are forced to cast about for another source of consolation. since it was not Quotes What a mercy it would be if we were able to open and close our ears as easily as we open and close our eyes!?G.
