? JUSTICE IS CHAIRMAN ? Bradley And Deal Named To F. H. A. Body Here Appointments of Edwin J. Brad ley and Fred P. Deal as members of the Farmers Home Administra tion county committee were an nounced this week by Oar land E. Denning, the agency's county supervisor, serving Clay and Ma con counties. Mr. Bradley owns and operates a dairy farm in the Iotla commun , ity and Mr. Deal owns and operates a dairy farm in the Holly Springs community. These men were selected to serve because they are honest, progressive, and respected farmers who know something of the prob lems farmers are up against when trying to farm on limited capital, Mr. 'Denning said. The other member of the com mittee, Earl A. Justice, of the Holly Springs community, will serve as committee chairman dur ing the 1961 fiscal year. Each member Is appointed for a three year term. Mr. Deal succeeds Bob McClure, who resigned due to ill health and prosing farm work. Mr. Bradley succeeds Freeman Hosting!, whose three-year term expired this year.. The committee determines the eligibility of individual applicants for all types of loans. It also re views borrower's progress and aids the county supervisor in adapting the agency's loan policies to con ditions faced by farmers in this area. Members are selected and appointed so that, so far as pos sible, different areas or neighbor hoods are represented. The Farmers Home Administra tion makes annual or intermediate term loans to farmers who need adequate funds to buy equipment and livestock, and longer term loans to build or repair houses and other essential farm build ings, and to purchase or improve land suitable for family-type farm operations.

MACON SUPPLY COMPANY MACON FURNITURE MART Main Street Franklin, N. C. STARTING IN OCTOBER ? Plans For New Baptist Seminary Courses Told Seminary extension courses for both ministers and laymen will be taught on Monday nights, beginn ing October 3. according to the Macon Baptist Association com mittee on seminary extension work. A historical study of the life of Jesus will be taught by the Rev. J. H. Propst and a study In Evangelism will be taught by the Rev. Robert R. Standley. Ministers and lay people are invited to en roll for the classes, to be taught at the First Baptist Church each Monday night between the hours of 7:30 and 9:30. The cost of the New Testament will be $11.50. This includes the price of a guide book, a text book. and the operating cost. The total cost for the evangelism course Is til. Ministers driving Into Frank lin from surrounding churches will have their automobile expenses covered by the extension depart ment This type of training Is made possible by a Joint effort of local Baptist people, the seminaries of the Southern Baptist Convention, and by the North Carolina Baptist State Convention. Many Baptist people are now having the oppor tunity to develop their Christian ability because of these offered courses. Many cannot go off to school, but now the school has been brought to them. Registartion will take place 30 Continued From Editorial Pui LETTERS so many similar "unbiased" articles which are currently being published on a nation-wide basis. It is generally accepted that everyone, at one time or an other, has an axe to grind. Some few are able to convince their audience that they are, in reality, grinding their axe for someone else to use. A fewer still are able to satisfactorily prove that the axe doesn't even belong to them. The degree of honor associated with the grinding is inversely proportional to the degree of selfish personal interest in the axe itself. Based on this premise, the modern method of effectively grinding an axe in newsprint consists of three principal steps: 1. Disavow any selfish, personal interest ? by attributing the necesssity for the article to National Interest, Mother hood, Humanity, or World Progress. 2. Disprove bias or prejudice ? by establishing an associa tion of sympathy or close proximity with the people, or cause, about to be attacked. 3. Become identified with the majority ? by espousing the cause of indisputable human aspirations, and by interspers ing praise of the many, with the condemnations of the "bad" few. The author of the article followed this procedure closely. He first esffablished lack of bias concerning the Souths racial problems by affirming that he himself was a Southerner of 26 years standing, and by choice. He then identified himself with the majority by praising the South's recent progress from a backward provincial state, and by limiting his criticism to the few "hotheads" at the Democratic National Convention. His third step was to disavow any personal selfish reasons by simulating concern over the "bad" picture the South pre sents to the nation, the world, and the future. After having fulfilled the prerequisites for an effective at tack, he proceeded confidently into such baffling double-talk as, "They (meaning the South) themselves created for the people of the United States the very picture they mistakenly believe the North has of them." The article deserves a reply because it Is representative of . an increasingly used procedural technique, designed to per mit a maximum of criticism, with a minimum of repercus sions. The South is not now, and never has been, lacking In critics. We have -an adequate supply in the Northern and Western sections of the nation. To have added to these outcries from our own backyard contributes little toward the solutions of our problems. The critics are always at hand. Only the issues change. A hundred years ago the issues were economically inspired. Today they are politically motivated. The gnarled, rough, ac cusing fingers which once pointed to the rubble of Richmond and Atlanta, crying "Shame" for the desolation and misery of a war-torn America, have been replaced by highly mani cured fingers pointing at Little Rock and crying "Shame" for the unfortunate events in South America, Paris, Tokyo, Cuba, the Belgian Congo, and Laos. The logic by which the inference is made, that the South's reluctance to whole heartedly embrace the bride (acquired at gunpointi Is re sponsible for the recent fall of friendly governments and the spread of Communism, would be laughable, were It not so tragic. The civil rights platforms of both parties were ostensibly of, by, and for humanitarlanlsm. But simultaneously with the stern admonition that "human rights must be guaranteed" came the stage whisper, "we need the Negro vote". "Human Rights" is a high-sounding term ? but, "a rose, by any other name "! The conventions demonstrated that if it is politically expe dient to help the dog wag the tall, (or vice versa) all efforts are directed to that end. The fact that the action is camou flaged behind an industrious waving of the American flag, or even an assortment of foreign flags, is not sufficient reason for the Southern delegates to sit mute with awe. It has been pointed out that since the civil rights plants are directed at the North as well as the South, the Southern representatives had no need to keep a chip on their shoulders. But there was no elucidation on the fact that, although this "multi-pelleted'' civil rights shotgun may be aimed In all di rections, so far, every time It has gone off, the business end of the cartridge has landed somewhere in the South. What the South now needs is less criticism and more gen uine understanding. It needs encouragement and even praise, when the praise is sincere. But not hypocritical praise, used to cloak a basic resentful attitude. C. OWENS Sylva, N. C. WAYAH VALLEY INN t GRACIOUS LIVING IN THE TRADITION OF THE OLD SOUTH ? Dining by Reservations ?
