N A T I O hi A I f n I T ft B I A I ASSOCIATION J W Monday Afternoon, July 17, 1950 J A Successful Record The average pastor today is expected to de vote about as much time to civic affairs as they do tfo the work of his church. This trend has been growing for many years, and today it is more in evidence than ever. The demand of a pastor's time, however, puts a double load on him. But then we do not know of a single one that is shirking this new demand, because they accept it as part of their program. This editorial was prompted by the record . of Rev. L. G. Elliott, who resigned yesterday as pastor of the First Baptist Church here to go to Roxboro, in the heart of North Caro lina's flue cured tobacco belt. The records of the church here show a substantial growth in membership, activity and gifts during the slightly less than six years in which Rev. Mr. Elliott has been pastor. This speaks well for his ability as pastor and'leader, as well as for the progres siveness of the church. Rev. Mr. Elliott gave freely of his time and energy rto the many civic demands which were placed upon him. In all fairness to him, and other pastors like him, he did not under take the civic duties at the expense of the church program. We feel that it is fitting that pastors take the lead in civic work, as it gives prestige to the workr and very often allows the pastors to see life from a different angle than through the painted windows of their study. Rev. Mr. Elliott and family have made many friends here, and have contributed much to the betterment of Haywood county. The citizens of Pearson county can expect as much as the Elliott family take up their work there with a record of success chalked up for them back in Haywood. Unjustified Hoarding As the grim realization that there is a 'shooting war"' in progress, the average Americans thoughts turn to the last war and some of the economic changes which it brought namely scarcity of certain goods, and rationing. - Almost daily one hears rumors that tend to stir the imagination, and in some instances; has stirred buying of those things which were not readily available during the last war. j Right here in Waynesville. there has been evidence of extra buying of tires and suger. A limited amount in each instance, but enough to prove that the average person is thinking of self-preservation in the, event cf another inauguration of war-time measures. Many promised themselves that never again would they be "caught short" of essentials. A rush into the market for items that will be hoarded will bring on a condition which will eventually mean hardship on everyone. Before rushing out and buying more than a normal supply, perhaps it would be well to remember that if and when rationing comes again, that each person will be made to give an account -of the inventory of scarce goods on hand. The government learned a lot dur ing the last war about rationing, and experts have been working on ways and means of plu::gin;;."loop-ho!es" which were much need ed last time.

A MEW CAK W&hT AWAx Rambling 'Round Bits Of Human Interest News- . By Frances Gilbert Frazier The Right A proa eh Judge J. Will Pless, presiding judge at the July term cf superior court here, expressed our sentiments on several occasions during the past week as he heard cases in which de fendants were charged with driving while drunk. Judge Pless emphatically stressed the fact that there is no excuse under heaven for a person to drive while drunk, or even partly drunk. Hi told one defendant: "If you drink just a thimble lull of beer, wine or whiskey, do not drive for even one yardit is dangerous to yourself and everyone else." We have often said before, and shall continue,-thai the curse of drunken driving will have tii be broken by the courts. The full ex tent of the law will have to be given when passing out the sentences. Of course, and here again we agree with Judge Pless, too often the innocent are tile ones who are hurt most when an effort. is made to punish the guilty. Take for example, a man charged with driving dtunk. it is hisjarnily whD iusuajlyj 15 YEARS AGO Or;iJ Yates goes to Rulfigh to am-pt a position in tlu1 Weights and Measures Division of the De paitinciit of Agriculture, Jack Riilifson anl Joseph How ell Way leave for Daniel Boone Camp.

They were the sheerest and most beautiful pair of hose she had ever owned, and when she re ceived them as a gi't she promised herself they would be saved for & wry special occasion. That great event arrived and fhe donned her very best raiment and the hose. Th completed, ei.samble gave her quite a thrill. As he turned worn the mirror, her hand accidently struck a tiny silver pin trav on her dresser and it fell on her ins.cii at exactly th oulv possible angle el which its sharp edge eouid cut her hose, and start eternal, ruin to her treasured gift . The train of thought some times, travrls on a one trark mind. Two ladies .vere seated, on .the red bench one mcrnins and soon started a conversation about the beauty that surrounds. Waynes ville. They both lgreed that these mountains had a certain distinctive attraction that w.is missing In the mountains of their native states. Upon inquiry, the first lady said she Was from Portland, Maine. The other lady laughed as she said: "We've met across the continent. f m from Portland, Oregon." Heard in passing: "Of course I won t hint but HI manage somehow to put over the idea of what I want."

PEAUTy PLUS- North Carolina j ovos us of any i l-itis Mint- i suffers when he has to pay out $150 to $200 jt10 t.iosc,( ?easnr1 ,, t,m j the arkl have his driver's license revoked. The family often does without necessities of life, because ths average person arrested for driv ing drunk cannot conveniently pay heavy fines and court costs. The sooner the public learns that they can not drink and drive and get by, the better off everyone will be. We feel that Judge Pless is approaching the problem from the right angle, and we feel his attitude and efforts will bear fruits. Claim Stock Car Races Bad The group making a study of ways and means of curbing accidents on North Caro lina highways have publicly criticized stock car racing. The group pointed out that young men wit nessing the races have an urge to see what the-'lamily car can do on the open highways. The sentiment of the group is strongly against such entertainment and no doubt the 1951 Legislature will be called upon for action to put a stop to this form of entertainment. No Surprise To Us The news of the re-election of Charles E. Kay as chairman of the N. C. Park Commis sion did not come as any surprise to us. In fact, wc would have been very much surpris ed if he had not been re-elected. Mr. Ray, and his associates on the Park Committee, have accomplished a lot in the brief three years the Commission has been established. They have worked much harder than the average person will ever know. The Commission is composed of an able lot of men, and with Mr. Ray as their contin ued leader, we can expect even greater ac complishments in the future than ever before. summer they parade on the beach es. the apnear at numerous fes tivals draped delicately on floats, and in the fall they high-steo be fore football thousands to "Semper Fidel is" and various Sotisa airs.

Answer: Yes, says Mrs. Bcata Rank of the Putnam , Children's Cqnter, Boston. Aggressive be havior in a child does not mean that he is incurably destructive. It means only that his personality is not yet well enough-organized to stand the frustration of his im mediate wishes and to wait and plan for long-range satisfactions.

B. Moore. Stale prison head, resigned as of July 1. He said that charges brought against him to the effect that he had ucd' orison labor for work at his home would seriously effect his usefulness as prison superintendent . "I in no way by word or deed admit any wrong doing on rav oart in regard to the charges hrouglit against me." said Moore in his letter resignation. The reoort of the SBI on the charg es has not yet been made public, there being a statute which pre vents the publication of SBI in vestigations excent as they may be brought cm' in a trial. Solicitor Bill Bickett, son of the former Governor, said last week that he would consider an indict ment or at least a jury hearing tipon the return to the city of At torney General Harry McMullan, who is now on vacation on the Dare County coast. So. a matter which everybody thoufdi would be settled with Moore's (resignation is still hanging fire. Mrs. Sebe Bryson: "Certainly not. We'd only be asking for trouble ourselves." AWi5 77.1V IA Wi .

Ahead in War Planes I World Red Cross President But lags in Transport Jobs I Mum on Praise by Russkit Special to Central Ptess TtrTMSHlNCTON The Air Force and the Navy may be developing tYi the world's fastest fighter planes and the world's best bombers,! but they are lagging far behind the British, and for that matter, our own air lines, in transport planes. Both are still getting along with the comparative slow pre-war DC-3 and DC-4 transports. These are good, steady, reliable planes, but somewhat lacking in speed and efficient carrying power. The services have loudly announced development of gigantic transports, capable of flying hundreds of troops and tons of equipment, but they have purchased comparatively few except for the Fair child Flying Boxcars standard transports for the Army's airborne troops. Martin, of course, has the Mars flying boat to its credit., ... However, the services have nothing like such commercial transports as the DC-6, the Constella tion, the Convair or the Martin 202 and 101 the British jet transports. The services have played around with some of the new transports, holding trials and looking at them, but so far no large orders have been forth coming:. A few Connies nave been purchased, and President Truman flies an Air Force DC-6. The Air Forces have one prime excuse they say that Congress won't give them the money to purchase the newer planes.
