THURSDAY, OCTOBER PAGE , EIGHT (Second SecUonX THE WATNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER l fi:' ! ,- 4 -ill i ' j . MlT t 111 1' i 1 ' 1,1, i f i Capital Letters By THOMPSON GREENWOOD SCOOP This is the first word On a terrific glimpse into the not-go-distant future. A theatre com pany operates five movie houses in Raleigh and in other sections of the State has bought two of the best pieces of property on Fayetteville Street here, and will build a the. atre to be devoted almost ex clusively to television. In coope ration with other large entertain ment corporations, this jNonn Carolina concern will broadcast lavs. fiahts and athletic events from New York City. Other thea aters of this type are planned for Asheville. Charlotte, Winston Salem, Greensboro and Durham. The way has been cleared for television cable to run from the North, hitting Richmond and Char lotte, and running from Charlotte to other cities. This cable will be used by two broadcasting compan ies, and it is not known whether it Will be used by the theatre organi zation. PAUPER? Leon R. Meadows. former president of Eastern Caro Una Teachers College, who entetr ed State Prison on September 25 for alleged misappropriation of the school funds, was a year ago re garded as one of the wealthier men in Greenville. However, it is understood that the 62-year-old former Louisian lan paid his three attorneys ar ound $60,000 for defending him in the two trials. It is known that he borrowed $41,000 at the conclus ion of the second trial, and so his wealth has appreciably declined. The trials probably cost Nort Carolina upwards of $100,000. Opinion around Raleigh is that Meadows, who will automatically become eligible for parole next June, may not serve more than year of the three-year sentence DDT The new miracle insecti cide, DDT, is now available throughout North Carolina. You Should not have to pay more than 60 cents per pint for it or more than $3 per gallon. Be sure that the solution you purchase is at least five per cent DDT. This is sufficiently strong to do the business. However, some manufacturers are being sued by the government for manufactur ing DDT which contains as little as one-hundredth of one per cent of the real thing. GOOD One more word about the Meadows conviction. It cost the state plenty, but will accom push much real good in that it will teach other handlers of money in the state institutions to be more careful with the funds entrusted to their management. Many folks be lieve Meadows was more guilty of carelessness than anything. But Carelessness and dishonestly often run as a team. MEETING Fred E. Miller, di ffector of State test farms, is al ready laying plans for a meeting Of the Southern Association of Agricultural Workers in New Or leans next February 6, 7, 8. This will be the first convention of this organization since February, 1942, when 1,200 agricultural leaders from throughout the South met in Memphis. Around 100 North Carolinians are now planning to attend the New Orleans conclave. BAILEY If you remember, Senator J. W. Bailey vigorously turned thumbs down two years ago on a proposal to dam the Yadkin River in a broad flood control pro ject. If memory serves correctly, Senator Bailey held that such a move would not only flood valu able farmlands, but would set up DOWN DRAFT WOOD BURNING HEATER OUDT UNTWOB 24-100 CONTtOUEl IEAT.

He hinted that the pro ject was planned merely to get the government into the business of supplying electricity along the Yadkin valley. Despite loud pro tests in many quarters, Senator Bailey stood by his ideas oh the matter. Now another flood haa come and thousands of dollars damage has been done to crops and build ings situated near the river. Sena tor Bailey is being reminded that "We told you so." Now he seems to be in favor of a number of small dams on creeks and rivers flowing into the Yadkin. WEEDS Nothing is being said about it, but a Weed Crontrol Law is now being drawn up for presen tation to the next session of the Legislature. Weeds create more waste on farms than all other pests thrown together yet a farmer can let his place grow up in them, and seed from these weeds will be carried by the wind to other farms and so it goes. If anyone let mad dogs run loose. he would be put "under the jail as they say. Yet weed seeds car ried by the wind and streams are just as bad. The Western states have weed control laws, and you can look for one in North Carolina More about this later. ADVANCE School lunchrooms hould be able to get an earlier start with their programs this year. Prior to this year, they have been forced to wail around three months for the lunchroom claims to be paid by th Federal government The $300,000 revolving fund set up for lunchrooms last winter by the Legislature will enable the State Board of Education to ad vance funds this year within two weeks after claims are filed. There is little excuse (from a financial viewpoint) for the 919 lunchroom schools in this State to wait until frost to get the project under way BRIDGES The recent floods did $1,500,000 damage to highways of the state. A number of creek bridges 25 in Chatham county alone were washed out, but most ot mem needed repairing or re building before the rains came, Lives and limbs of countless scjiool children on busses are endanger ed every day by worn-out creek bridges. lit, The newspapers have at last succumbed to war jitters, re conversion nerves, or something. Anyway, the star reporter on a Raleigh afternoon newspaper quit this sheet in a huff last week be cause the publisher asked him to wear a dress shirt and a tie. Evans Kefauver, one of the bet ter feature writers of the State and a World War II veteran, has been wearing open-collar-shirtails- out sport shirts at work durino these hot summer months. John Park, publisher, editor, and neat gentleman in every respect, stood it as long as he could.. On tt 90- degree (outside temperature), siday last week he firmly requested Ke fauver to cease and desist with the sport shirt business. Now Kefeauver is helping Jule Warren with "We the People" magazine. KUADb In his inaucural ad dress, Governor Gregg Cherrv pleaded for better farm-to-market oads, promising to "get the farm er out of the mud." But the first big" letting of contracts by your new Mate Highway Commission on October 9 will be mainly for the big fellows U. S. 158; U. S. H; JV C. 150; U. S. 32; U. S 70; U. S. 15A: U.

The highway commissinnprc win be praised by home folks for thp the beautiful projects and the farmer continues to slosh in the mud.

MM', '710 WOOD Everyday Counselor (Continued from page two) adopts the "pincushion" attitude. the needier eventually retires to pick .out another who will respond to his methods of torture. All of these unfortunates allow themselves to become the tools of the Evil One. Their reward is unhappiness, frustration, misery, and eventual isolation. People will use every effort to leave them alone. There is only one cure for this disease LOVE. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and thy neighbor as thyself . . . We can't walk with God and have bitterness in our hearts. FOP TAXI CALL SCOTT REEVES Phone SO Pore OU Station Pfc. Clifford G. Jones Awarded Silver Star Private Clifford G. Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Jones, of Can ton, has been awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action.. The citation read in part: Private Jones, with one other enlisted man, vol unteered to repair communication lines between his battery and the battalion fire direction center dur ing heavy enemy shelling. While in the execution, of this mission Pvt. Jones, and his com rade were knocked to the ground and seriously wounded, by enemy shrapnel. Pvt. Jones managed to gain his feet and immediately as sisted his comrade to temporary protection in a ditch nearby, where he administered first aid. Realizing the critical condition of his com rade and knowing that any delay of proper medical treatment would result in loss of life, Pvt. Jones, abandoned his temporary protec tion, and without regard for his own safety, in spite of his painful wounds, made his way one-half mile through intense enemy shell ftre to his battery. Upon reaching the battery, Pvt. Jones refused medical attention until he had been assured -that aid had been dispatched to his wounded com rade. Pvt. Jones holds the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and three bat tle stars representing action seen in Normandy, Northern France, and the Rhineland. Pvt. Jones is now stationed at the convalescent hospital at Fort Story, Va. Slightly larger civilian supplies of shortening, cooking oils, and soap will soon be made available.
