Let's Leave It State College [f - A lot tt arguments, bot{i^>ro*hd con, have bfen heard recently over the proposal to change the name of North Carolina State College to the University of North Carolina at Ra r 'v 'Absolutely no advantage what . soever jean be forseen by changing iJjhe. school's name. Certainly a cha nge yould not guarantee Quality Ed _Ucation nor would it guarantee that htStete would be able tp offer students V^tynmore thaft it already does. _Ntany years have gone into the ^Hftbng*jup of the name, reputation jat^sjiae of Nort^j Carolina, State .Cuttlgi^The school has a national ^dWnational reputation for ex jfliffry in many technological fields jmpyed by. other institutions in |^3?ntimentally too, the name sh iaBwd be kept as it is. Tradition and - school >*id&?la^ an Integral part in life on any college campus. Students and alumni alike carry a deep self satisfying pride in "their school." And there is little student support on the State campus for the name change. Then there's the cost that the name change would involve. Imagine the number of signs that would have to be re-painted, the number of sta tionery letterheads that \yould have to he changed, the number of student records, etc. that would have to be converted, ad infinitum. If the present administration in Raleigh is really interested in Qua lity education, let them point their time and efforts towards really need ed projects like additional class rooms, improved curriculum and tea cher salary iacreases^JThese ape areas in which there is a tree need for le gislative action and leadership. Dangerous Pranksterism saaiiots in Duplin County should' ?take heed <rf fec^happ^wigs j# se veral North, Carolina(tpwrn^ regard ing the purchase and use of fireworks and other nuisance amusements. At this time of thhe year when most towns are holding Veteran's Day parades, homecoming parades or Christmas parades, the use of these devices by thoughtless apd irrespon sible persons has become a problem. In New Bern last week the town council voted to outlaw the sale of either fireworks or pea shooters be cause several pranksters had injured people participating in parades with them. Pellets were fired through pea shooters, at marchers of high school b3jKts, etyi fireworks . wqre, glso. e* plDded t*t their feet Costly musical ininh#nenta,,i?ei)e.even damaged in soft^jMinces. -V The tlown of Wallace may have set the .precedent for the rest of the ^county last week when.the. police de partment advised that all persons fo und with ,or using fireworks would be arrested and property unlawfully possessed or used would be confis cated. , The sale and use of fire crackers and other similar explosives is defi nitely against North Carolina State laws and against many town ordinan ces so the police have every right to make such arrests. While most parents would not let their children break other laws, there apparently are some who do not object to their children possess ing fire works. It is these and all ot her, parents alone who cqn impress upon youngsters the dangers of such devises. r ^lprJ In Search of a Home j it* Appearing elsewheAPin t6dtty*3 DUI^igR^.i?g..^atUrp story on yqurj ($p*p5?ty.

They are children who are victims of their environment. The help they re ceive from the Welfare Department is Monumental. For the first time in their rhycs a lot of them, are given care, love and understanding that they have never known before and they are given a new chance ait life. An the story states, one of the most-important phases of this rehabi litation is the care a child receives while he is in a boarding home. Here the child is placed while the Welfare Department attempts to find a per manent home. , ,,t> tc ^ i "Ourf greatest need in this work with ,the children is for more board hc|P?for White children," says Wel fare director Mrs. Thelraa Taylor. At preset we have in. the county eno ugh boarding homes for Negro child re^ b,ut. finding harpes for White chjl<W either in or out of the co unty, has always ty*n,,a problem," shfc-addejl. ?

Clothes for the child are usually provided by donations to jthe Welfare Department. The value of the boarding ho mes to the work.of the Welfare De partment has been pointed out to the Department more than .once. On one . occassiQn the Welfare Department placed a boy in a board ing home who had been in constant trouble with juvenile authorities and who had refused to go to school be cause the other children and the teachers made fun of his shabby clo thes. At the) boarding home the boy became-a model of good behavior and attended school regularly. Later he was sent to live with a great aunt and once again hp became a problem. Si nce then ne has been returned to the boarding home where he has been for the last three years. V The love and understanding that this boy, received at the boarding home plus three good mealsa;day and clean and well-kept clothes made all the' difference in the world.. .The work being done by the Welfare Department and its child ren's boarding homes merit the high est praise. In many instances they are moving into situations where no one else has shown even a casual in terest and they . are helping, little * souls \yh,o arp unable tp.help them selves and who, lor all tpeir lives, have been in search of a home. ?

QUALITY JOB PRINTING CALL THS DUPLIN - TIMES. TIMES WANT AO WILL SELL YOUR PRODUCT. 1 : Free Wheeling ' ?* By ?!h Crthtfell I Winter driving has its perils, but the driver who "knows his way a round" usually ge(|s through the worst of it without getting hurt That's the belief,of Motor Vehi cles Commissioner Edward Scheidt in commenting on the agency's camgaign to alert motorists to haz ards of the winter season. He pointed out that anti-freeze and tire chains are but two ele ments in the "get prepared" for mula for cold weather driving. An engine tune up together with a check of the heater-defroster sys tem should be on the schedule, he said. Also, inspection of the muffler, adjustment of brakes, snow tires, if you intend to use them, battery and ail lighting equipment. Windshield wiper blades, if not flexible and "live," should be re placed. Good blades with adequate arm pressure cleaning the glass out side and a good defroster clearing the glass inside will assure drivers adequate vision when the going get's rough. Scheidt said driving habits must be revised, too. 'Just as we change our type of I clothing from one season to the next, we must change our driving habits to fit the season," he de clared. . "It takes far longer to stop on ice or snow than it takes on dry pavement. As an example the av erage braking distance for regular tires on glare ice is 780 feet at 40 miles an hour. 'Therefore it's imperative that we slow down, and while we are in a line of traffic it's important to maintain an increased interval be teween cars. "Before moving into the traffic stream on icy or snow Covered pavement, it's wise to "feel out" the road as you pull away from your parked position," Scheidt poin ted out. "Give a clear signal of your intention to turn well in ad vance and make your turns care fully." Sudden stops, the vehicles chief concluded, can lead to sudden mis haps. Braking should be done ex pertly, with a light, intermittent pumping action. Preventing 8 skid is easier than trying to maneuver out of one. Health and Safety Tips From The American Medical Association If you live in the far northern t states where winter comes early and stays late, you probably al ready have seen the first snow of J the season. If you live in the more ( southemly states the first snow ? likely is yet to falL If you live in the deep south you may not see any j snow all winter and need read on , further. ( Almost everyone hi North Amer- , ica sooner or later awakes one ( morning to find a covering of snow. It may be only an inch or so that soon melts, if you live in the South. Or it may be in drifts two feet deep along the front wal| and akmg the driveway. The walk lind drive must be cleared of snow. This is a renewal of the annual warning to men of middle age and beyond not to rush' into shoveling away the snow. The warning against overexertion in shoveling away the first snow fall of rite season Is aimed parti cularly at men past ?0, and espec ially for those men who lead physi cally rather inactive lives, these Who are overweight and those who have had an illness that has left hem weakened. Snow shoveling actually can be good for you. if you approach it leisurely. The fresh air and the ex ercise are fine, but don't overdo it. Hard, vigorous exercise, such as rapid plying of a snow shotel in a frantic effort to clear the drive way and get to the office on time, could be dangerous. It could even kill you, by putting an undue strain an your heart. If your heart is all right, you won't hurt it much by overexertion. But the problem is to be certain that your heart to all right. If you' ve had a recent physical check-up, say within six months, and have felt okay since, ydb very likely are all right. But if you are not in good condi tion don't be ashamed to get a small snow blower or snow plow for clearing walks and drives. Or donvt hesitate to hire the neighbor's son to do the clearing job for you. Trying to prove that you're still a he-man who can shovel snow like s youngster is foolish and Unneces sary.

EDITORIAL PAGE Of Yctiffl&al N&btpaper County director* of jrtftilic wel fare in North Carolina take great pride in the "success stories" of perartts who have received aid to dependent children payments. Tax payer*. too, are interested in kpow ing what happens to the boys and girls who, through aid to depend ent children, are kept in school and are thus able to become self-sup porting citizens when they become adults. Recent reports from county direc tors of public welfare, who have followed thVptatfttt of these1 ADC cases should be shared With the prMir. ?' ?' T In ode county, a fttfl from a fiM ily who formerly received aid to dependent children it a sophomore to college and has Consistently made the Dean's list.

Still another girl, ftotn a family of five How receiving ADC, it in her first year in college, and is maklTHt excellent grades. By law, children cannot receive aid to dependent children payments when they reach their 18th birth day. Therefore, these yonng people are necessarily having to secure part-time jobs to get an education. They will Work during the summer months. Another county director of public I welfare reports that many of the I people in his county who are among the finest contributing citisens of I A. L. t>. their communiites. received aid to dependent children help when they were young. One of such former ADC recipient is a candiidate for the codnty school board. Some have graduated from college; others have taken business courses and have found employment in good Jobs. Ohe young man, who receiv ed ADC because his father's dis ability made it impossible for him to support his family, was able to graduate from high school, and, with his own earnings and the help of a scholarship, was graduate from college. He is now a teacher and assistant coach in a high school.

BIBLE FAGS OF INTEREST BY: Ella V. Pridgen "The Meariafc" 'All Creatures of Our God and King, Lift up your voice and with us sing. Alleluia! Alleluia!" Many people do not know what "Alleluia" means. They do know that when they sing or say 'Allehilia" they feel happy and joyous. AHeluDa is a Hebrew word, a word that was surely often on the lips of our Lord Jesus. "Alle" in the imperative word is a command, as it were, and means praise. 'Lu" means everybody "Ya" is the shortened form of the word "Yaweh" which means 'God." Put it all togethei and it says. Everybody praise God This is the most popular word in all languages and has inspired more singing than any other. The "Hallelulia Chorous" is fron the great oratoria. The Messiah was written by George Frederick Han del more than two centuftes ago This one word "Hallelulia" occuri some three dozen times in tha chorus. "Hallel" is a Hebrew word mean ihg praise. 'U" means 'ye", 'Jah' means the Lord. When the Messial was first sung in London, The Kinj of England was so tremendously moved by the music that he stooc to honor him who is the "Kings o Kings and Lord of Lords." From that day forward, thosi who hear this great awsftal com position stdid to do God'the bono due Him. 1 'Takerf from Bible Lelkons) Pablic Forum >-4> * > With ,the arrival 41 ThSAsgMh also cime that "bwgayman" wig ter.
