Moore, president of St. Andrews College at Laurinburg. With a phrase from the pre amble of the Constitution as a take-off point, he urged frequent perusal of this document along with the Declaration of Indepen dence and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, for those “who find themselves frustrated by Khru shchev, Castro and Mao.” He advised that people hark back to the period 1781-87 of our nation’s history, “when, out of sweat and struggle, the clashing of minds and ideas, our forefath ers hammered out the most fan tastic system of checks and bal ances for the protection of the individual and the securing of liberty forever.” This “fantastic system” proved to have a most remarkable strength, reminded Dr. Moore, re sistant to autocracy and tyranny in all forms, a government so good “it must be shared—^we must open our doors to more and more.” To keep it firm, with liberty se cured, ‘‘tve must remember that government is something to hve under, not on,” added Dr. Moore, asking the question, “Are we strong enough, self-controlled 'enough, with sufficient mastery of our own desires, to make it worth having?” Campaign to Aid Blind, Other Projects Continues The annual White Cane Sale of the Southern Pines Lions Club— for benefit of aid to the blind and sight conservation—is scheduled to be completed by the end of the week, Jack Bowman, chairman of the campaign for the Club,'said today.
