More Time For Making Choices
State Rep. H. P. Taylor of Wadeeboro,
unoppoeed candidate for Speaker of the
House in the 1965 North Carolina General
Assembly, has come up with an eminently
worthwhile suggestion.
Taylor wants the Democratic legislators
to hold their caucus in January, a month
before the General Assembly meets, instead
of delaying it until the traditional meeting
time, the night before the Assembly con
It is at this caucus that the House and
Senate organise tor business. The House
must elect a speaker, who appoints com
mittees, and the various staff members.
The Senate, presided over by the lieutenaat
governor, elects a president proton.
Selections made at the caucus stick be
cause the Democrats hold overwhelming
majorities in both Houses, and the actual
election on the first day of the session is
a mere formality.
Unlike II. Gov-elect Robot W. Scott,
who could have if he had wished begun
picking committee chairmen and members
when the polls closed Nov. 3, Taylor must
wait until he has been chosen by his col
leagues to begin exercising the prerogatives
of his office.
Given a month in which to make his
choices. Taylor could come to Raleigh to
February with committee assignments made.
The General Assembly then would be off to
a running start.
The legislative gears grind in fits and
starts under the best of circumstances. An
earlier meeting of the Democrats would en
able Taylor to make them mesh more
smoothly. ? Charlotte Observer.
Automation And Women
A umnum wHa has rispn tn pminpnc# u _u_ .? ? _?
in a field where members of her aex aeldom
rise ao high has some disquieting observa
tions on the possible Impact of automation oe
the employment of women - add the possible ' ^
consequences to our economy. One of the na
tion's leading bankers, Mrs. Mary 6. Roeb
ling, chairman of the board of the Trenton
Trust Co., of Trenton, N .J., believes most
of the Jobs now held by women could be
wiped out in the next 20 years. She thinks
ao because, she says, 70 per cent of the
working women hold clerical Jobs, and these
are the Jobs that will be hardest hit by auto
mation.
Who can disagree with Mrs. RoebUng's
estimate that such a turn of events would
be an ecoonmk disaster? It would also bo
an ethical and psychological disaster. To
oven 11, sue proposes a practical program 01
education to bring women increasingly into
banking, engineering, electronics, medicine,
law ? fields more Ukefr to weather the com
cl petition of automation without disastrous
erosion.
It may be some slight help that the new
federal civil rights of women as members
of the productive work force. Executive
training programs, from which they are
almost always excluded, will have to be
opened to them. But ft is going to tske in
tensified educational work among men as
well to remove the prejudices which have
relegated women to the lower echelons of
some fields and virtually excluded them
from others.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
The fellers at the country
store Saturday night was prov
ing they was all good Americans.
Hie election fer President and
the Congress didn't please all
the fellers but everbody was
agreed the people had spoke.
And Ed Doolittle and Clem Web
ster, that voted Republican and
Democrat, respective, was also
agreed the voice of the people
had to be the law of the land if
we was to live under a de
mocracy.
But Zeke Grubb, that ain't told
nobody yet how he voted, was
of the opinion democracy was
like the roomatism it was going
to hurt a little bit all tbe time
and folks had the right to keep
on hollering without gitting
throwed out of the lodge.
Fer instant, said Zeke, he was
reading where 90 cent out of
ever dollar earned by the Amer
ican people was now passing
through Washington in some
form of taxes. Zeke allowed as
bow he was going to keep on hol
lering about this item, even If
they elected Billy Graham fer
President the next time around.
Clem reported he had saw In
the papers where a democracy
was the moat expensive form of
Government on earth and we
Just as well git used to them
boys in Washington taking their
Bug Hookum agreed with
Oem. said it made him recol
lect a story bach when Franklin
^oseveh was President This
fer the Lord to send him the
money. After about three weeks
he got tired of praying and
wrote the Lord a letter. The
poetmaater didn't know where
to send the letter so he just
sent it to White House.
When Roosevelt got the letter
he was mighty impressed, so
he mailed the farmer a check
fer gS out of his own pocket
When the fanner got the check
he set down and wrote the Lord
another letter. "Dear Father, I
thank Thee fer the $100. But I
note Thou hast routed it through
Washington where they have
took their customary $0 per
cent Please, O Locd^in the fu
ture just send it direct"
Josh Clodhopper said if this
old fanner had been living to
day be would never have wrote
to the Lord in the first place. All
financial blessings now comas
through Washington,
Josh, and they ain't no chanet
of noboddy gltting nothing "di
rect." Everthing from school
lunches to pest spray, allowed
Josh, is now bestowed from
Washington. Far that ~*rm.
claimed Josh, we had ought to
change the Thanksgiving menu
from turkey to Potomac trout
Personal, Mister Editor, I cast
my first vote far President in
1M6 and through the years rve
learned to eat a lot of things,
including crow, so turkey or '
Potomac trout I ain't worried ,
one way or the other. 1

hr%*6U%*u,
From Elveia M. Beery, Plain
well, Mich.: I lived in the country
for many year* and well remem
ber a great many things, which I
relate to my grandchildren.
The hogs were "slopped" at
least twice a day, from a "hog's
head"' (barrel) by the hog pen.
Whey, from our cheese factory
across the corner, was dumped
into that barrel. Then some
ground grain, potato peelings and
other garbage went in, even
greasy dishwater. The 0mell we
didn't mind. It wasn't any worse
than the hog pen smell. The flies
loved it.
The washing took moat of the
day. Water was heated in a cop
per boiler on the wood stove.
Soap was put into the water and
then two persons carried it to an
old wooden washer that had a
handle on the slotted wooden
agitator to rock back and forth.
A wringer on the frame held the
rinse tub. We never ironed our
sheets or the farm men's work
clothes. We ironed with three
sets of irons, heated on an old
wood stove.
In sweet corn time, we dried ,
the cut-off corn in pie tins put 1
into the slow oven, stirring it now
and then. This was much surer
than canning in those days, with
canning compounds. Apple slices
were dried in the same way. Red
hot peppers could be simply hung i
up to dry.

The secretaries will recomm

pected to provide revenues of
about $145 million annually to
permit the States and the Nat

administered on the basis of
60$ by the States and 40$ by
the Federal Government.
Both measures came about as
a result of exhaustive studies
directed toward the purpose of
meeting the demands of an in
creasingly urban civilization.
Congress has responded in the
hope that cooperative efforts by
the Federal Government, the
States, and private citizens will
meet the demands which chang

upon nature's once abundant

Tt is bard to overcome a erase
of doom when the sky is over
cast, when the winds begin to rise
snd there is the warning that a
hurricane is slowly approaching
the coast. Such is the writer's ex
perience as these lines are
written. And such has been his
lot a number of times, beginning
with 1019.
The great storm in September
of that year is vividly remem
bered and the writer is led to
contrast that storm with the pres
ent and to reflect upon the
better situation now, with hourly
reports of the hurricane and the
evacuation of people and even
cattle in many sections of South
Louisiana.
In 1019 I started out to ac
company our small boy to his
Khool a few blocks away. The
terrible wind soon turned our
imbrella inside out and we were
Irenched to the skin when we
reached the school. The young
whool marm in charge of my
ion's room told me to take him
bome.
I remained at home through
ihe day. A heavy rocker on the
porch was blown against one the
French windows and a stream of
water crawled halfway across the
living room floor. Late in the
ifternoon, a neighbor 'phone to
to ask if she might come over,
hat her house was shaking and
ihe had been adviaed to leave.
While she was coming the wind
blew away the banisters from her
upstairs porch As I opened the
'ront door and braced myself to
old it, I saw that some young
i>ees across that street brat over
ind all the world aeemed to be
blowing away. Afterward I learn

Bible Facts

THE MAN PAUL
His birth, of strict Jewish
parents in Tarsus a city of a
Roman Province. His education
trained in Jerusalem under the
great teacher, Gamaliel. Trade,
weaver of tent cloth all boys
of the Jewish families were re
quired to learn a trade. As
you read St. Paul's mission
ary journeys in Book of Acts
me made three missionary
journeys), you will understand
how he worked his way and how
much his trade tent cloth mak
ing, meant to him.
St. Paul had two names-Jew
is name. Saul: Roman name,
Paul. He was a Pharisee of
the Pharisees. Acts 23:6. His
death?beheaded by Nero.
After you read Paul's con
version on the road to Dam
ascus. Acts 9: 1-19. You can
understand it was not easy for
Paul to make concrete in hu
man relations the basic princi
ples of the Christian religion.
He Hid hdt find it easy to give
them expression. Persecution
was his lot, but once he was
sure of God's will for him.
he never hesitated to follow
the difficult road to the end.
His whole life was one of learn
ing. Listen, as he says, "I
am learning bit by bit ''(Phil.
3:8) and "I have learned to
count my former gains a loss. '
(Phil. 3:8) He exorted all that
others learn and by learning
moved in the direction of ma
ture Christian living. Never did
he take it for granted that the
church people with whom he
worked had attained their full
Statue. You will learn that Jesus
sent Paul as a chosen vessel
of his to carry Jesus' name
before the Gentiles, and
Kings and sons of Israel. Paul,
the great Apostle to the Gen
tile world after Jesus, the -
mightiest single force in shap
ing our Christian religion. He
tore Christianityfrom Judiasm.
By his missionary labor he
transplanted Christianity from
Palestine, the soil of Europe
in the culture of Greece and
Rome.
St. Paul is the author of nine
books in the new Testament,
the source of four more. These
letters, like all the new Testa
ment, were written in Greek
vernacular, used throughout the
part of the world Jesus and his
disciples spoke Aramaic. Paul
was following a common prac
tice of the time writing letters
to the local church. They were
carried by individuals as they
went from city to city. The
travel was slow and primative
compared with our present
times. The Romans were res
ponsible for good roads, which
was a great nelp to the mis
sionary message.
The writing of the letters we
know Paul wrote, began about
the year 50 ac.. during his
second Missionary journey.?
Scholars disagree as to whe
ther I Thessalonians or Ga
lations is earlier.

WHAT WAS YOUR GRANDPA? ?
FIND OUT WHEN YOU RETIRE
Have you given any thought to
the idea of tracking down
your fifth cousins aa a project for
vour retirement?
A man in the Northweat haa,
an apparently la having a great
adventure.
He U Carl B. Neal of Olympla,
Waah. (3324 Hoadly Rd.). He re
tired in 1963 aa a aupervlaor in
the U.S. Foreat Service, and haa
devoted moot of hie retirement to
compiling the aaga of hla family
?Scotch Irish Presbyterians who
migrated from Ireland to Beaver
Pond, Va., in 1718. He ia now
up to his fifth cousins and to
Great-Grandpa Zachariah Neal.
Mr. Neal was born in a one
room sod house on a homestead
in Western Nebraska in 1887. His
father, Joseph King Neal, break
ing away from the Virginia base,
had attended Masonic Institute in
Mountain City, Tenn., and then
gone on to Nebraska. His mother,
Sallie Wills, whose family had
migrated from Western Europe
to Lancaster, Penn., had grown
up in Johnson County, Tenn., and
then attended Martha Washing
ton Seminary in Abingdon, Va.
Carl Neal's family gave up
Nebraska for Eugene, Ore. in
1803. Carl graduated from the
University of Oregon and Yale
Forest School, and entered the
U.S. Foreat Service in 1810. Most
of his service was in Washington
and Oregon.
Since his retirement he had
made three trips through the
South in search of family rec
ords. He has relied largely on
information he has dug from
Court House files in counties!
where the family lived and in
U. S. Census reports. "I have,
or have had, geneologists work
inf lor me in nine louri nouses ,v
in South Central Virginia, in
three countries in North Carolina,
and in State Libraries in Vir
ginia, North Carolina, and Geor
gia," he says. He would like to
wind up his research, "but there
is no place to stop.'"
Mr. Neal explains that in 1995
he thought he would write a 20
page record of his mother's
family, and the same of his fa
ther's family. However, by 1960
he had 466 pages on his mother's
family alone. He mimeographed
and bound the story.
Among family facts uncovered
by Mr. Neal: one ancestor be
came a militia captain in the
Revolution; one moved from
Prince Edward County, Va., (this
was Zachariah Neal) to Caswell
County, N.C., where he married
Rebecca Rice. Their descendants
still live there. What Mr. Neal
refers to as "The Laurel" in
Johnson County, Tenn., figures
largely in the history of his
mother's family, beginning in
1797.
And the saga goes on. One of
Mr. Neal's daughters, Mrs. Pat
Arnold, now lives in Madera,
Calif. Another, Mrs Preston
Phipps, lives in Portland, Ore.
The young have no time for
family history, it seems. Only
those who are retired have the
time, and the sense of history, to
start digging. And when they do
they preserve for future genera- (>
tions of their families some price
less information that otherwise
will be lost.
