Pig Day Coming! Tuesday, July 22, will be "Bis 9" day in Morehead City. Qn that day the library improvement committee in the finer nunicipalities contest hopes to collect at lent 900 books of ccent publication. They will be placed in the library at the febb Memorial civic center. Operation of an adequate library has always been the desire and the goal of llorehead City's Woman's club. However, since the library is not supported by any governmental fund, state, county, or town, many of the books are out of date. Funds to buy new ones are limited. The town of Morehead City told I delegation of women who appeared before them recently hat $500 would be granted for books this year if the money ere available. This money would come from "unbudgeted inds" or the dividends from the race track. In one sense Webb Memorial library is a public library nd in another sense it is not. It is there for the use of sveryone. However, because there is not a full-time fully-paid ibrarian there, and because of its remoteness from the general iwim of things, many folks believe Morehead City does not uve a library. ? It is located in a privately-owned, privately-supported wilding. Mr. Earle Webb kindly maintains the building he rected as a memorial. Morehead City will forever be deeply Adebted to him for his generosity. Mrs. E. A. Council who Doks after the building and also acts as librarian deserves mstinting praise for her efforts, interest, and time in making t available for meetings of civic groups and in supervising he library. ? People who do not understand the set-up have frequently riticised the library because it does not have the latest books, I not optn from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day in the week and jrery hour they have an urge to drop in just as though it fere a store or a library supported by tax funds. They won ir why signs do not direct the general public to the library. ' Under the present conditions, and we believe in the long Ei they are favorable ones, the library of necessity has to be ?rated within limits. Every effort is made to acquaint school Idren and even those under school age with the library icilities. Books may be borrowed by any responsible person id we believe the public should offer its full support in the irrent campaign to replenish the stock of books and provide te latest in non-fiction as well as fiction. It is the belief of the library improvement committee that lany townspeople have books, new and in good condition, hich they have read and would be willing to donate to the brary. The committee does not want ancient, dog-eared imes that have long been stored in the attic or shoved into a oset to gather dust. The aim is 500 more books but they ould rather have 250 good ones than a thousand obsolete, orn-out ones. 1 Since all the actual collecting of the books will not take ace until next Tuesday, July 22, the coming week affords >portunity for every homeowner to search bookshelves and lect books which would be welcome additions on the shelves Webb Memorial civic center library. i Manufacture Happiness . MY folks and I are going fishing!" That'* tome thing not many children without mothers and then rim say, unless through the kindness of other human t nr., the/ an taken out of orphanages and into adoptive The Children's Home Society of North Carolina, nsboro, acts as agent for all orphanages in the state in g children for adoption, and is especially interested in iting homes for older children. The youngster who said "My folks and I are going fish g," was Paul who was adopted after living in an orphanage lost eight years. To be sure, Paul had been fishing. There lake near the orphanage and often he and the other i>s dropped baited hooks in the water. The words Paul had rver been able to say were "my folks." He lost his home in just a little tyke. He couldn't remember his father and w that he was 9, his mother was only a vague memory, i Some children in orphanages do have folks to whom they long, relatives who remember them on holidays, birthdays, weekends. Occasionally, though, there is a youngster like ul who needs a home and grown-ups to love him. The orphanages of North Carolina do not place children adoption. The Children's Home society, however, has join with those institutions by furnishing consultants who find proper child for a home and the proper home for a child. After investigation, the decision as to whether the family " the prospective young member want to spend their lives ler, rests with them. They visit one another, getting to each other before deciding. When they become a family, kere is still a year or more of living together to make sure F their lasting happiness before the adoption is final. ' Adoption of older children is a challenging venture. But ' can be most satisfying and the rewards are great ? winning rlove and faith of a child who has known the loneliness having no one who cared. The Children's Home society states that there is no re on the size of a family wishing to adopt a child, a d less than 6 years of age can be adopted if there are any low that age, and more than one child may be adopted by > ly. Prospective parents ask, "Is it possible that an older child been hurt by his previous experiences?" The Home so answeri, "Yes, and he needs even more than other chil li the affection and faith of new parents to belpjiim put e past in its proper place as he grows secure in hi* new with them." I Then, too, the question is posed, "Can an older child adjust b new situations?" The Home society answers that he is ?ger for new experiences. His flexible personality is ready p develop, nurtured by the love and security he needs. Persons interested in adopting a child should contact the lildren's Home society, a voluntarily supported, non-sectarian igency which gives its services free. For every home that pants a child, there is a youngster desperately in need of a Home. In a world of many troubles, adopting a child and giv him a pleasant home is one of the best ways to manu re happiness.

Our United States By Fleyd Cramer President of the National Asso clstion for the Preservation of Free Enterprise, Inc. Sometimes the American people act like spoiled children in a new ly-rich family, where every child has a car of its own and yet, in stead of enjoying their weslth, the whole fsmily squabbles about who is going to park directly in front of the door. When we see a situation like that, you and I blame the father of the family. Well, here in the United States, like the spoiled children, we also are engaged in constant quarrels. And like the rich man's family, all the domestic problems we do have are largely the result of bad management at the Up. But becauae we are a democratic nation, the blame for bad manage ment at the top rests on our shoul ders. We cannot put the whole respon sibility onto a particular adminis trator or administration, because we, the people, put them in charge of our affairs. Futhermore, let's never forget that our whole concept of govern ment is based on the good of the majority, not on one special group getting ahead of the other groups. The (rimers of oar Constitution were careful not to give any eco nomic group any superior rights to power. Yet, a* our history unfold ed, particularly in the last 75 years, special interests not only began to vie for power, but actually to claim that they had a "right to it" By the end of the 19th century, corporations, for instance, had the reins of government securely in their hands. The natural reaction to this behavior by corporations was for the peoi tie to rebel against the top dog. In the past so years, this public reaction baa swung so far that new groups have arisen to claim the power of govtrninf. Labor makes tta claim to politi cal power. Farm groups say they should have special powers because they produce the food. Consumers ad vance claims because they do the buying and thus maintain the mar kets. Investors daim rights be cauae they supply laa capital that keeps business and industry in pro duction. In all sanity, the time has ar rived when we must put an end to the concept of governing by pitting group against group. We want neither a ruling class nor special-interest groups. Above all, we do not want our nation di vided by playing favorites. AUTHOR OF THE WEEK By W. G. ROGERS Anne Frank wrote her own vivid and poignant story in "Anne Frank: the Diary of a Young Girl." On her 13th birthday; the waa given a diary, and she began to confide in it her secret and in timate thoughts, and kept at it for a little more than two years. It w*s In Amsterdam, where she, her "?r, mother, sister and four !T Jews hid from the Nazis. .Gestapo discovered their hid place in August, 1M4, and they were taken oft to prison campa. In Mirch, IMS, two months before HolMnd waa freed, Anne at 15 suc cumbed to the privations of camp life in Bergen-Belaen; her father waa the only one of the eight to survive. After the raid, the diary waa discovered by friends and is reprinted almost in full.

Sou'easter BY CAPTAIN HENRY i One of Carteret county's young men attending Wake Forest cotlegc wrote home to his (lad one time and was applying the customary pressure for more money. "I cannot understand why you call yourself a kind father," he wrote his dad, "when you haven't sent me a check for three weeks. What kind of kindness do you call that?" "That's unremitting kindness," wrote his father in the next letter. buzzing insects ticking clocks summer heat . night heat still heat ... no sleep Now, that came to me while I trying to go to sleep the other night. It's surprising, but some people might call that modern poetry. Others might rave and go into raptures over it. Those, of course, are the addicts of this no punctuation, stream-it-togethcr non sense which appears in such things as "Anthology of Modern Poetry." Personally, I don't like it, not even if I write it. becausc it proves that if anybody does anything ridiculous enough, somebody is going to be as equally ridiculous and announce that it's fine stuff. (P.S. I finally got to sleep). I hear that Jim Kumley and Dan Walker are quietly vying with each other to sec who gets in this col umn the most. They're probably doing that just to make me feel good. Anyhow, Jim, this is your inning. Commissioner Rumley informed the town commissioners the other night that he has been having his troubles with plumbers in the past. Seems as though he had a plumber doing some work at the house and Jim was down at the store. Toward the end of the day his wife called up, after the plumber had left, and sputtered. "Jim! The plumber has connected the hot water pipe >vith the commode." Jim drawled into the phone, "Well, Bess, keep up a full head of steam 'til I see if I get a'hold of the fellow and get him back there to fix it." Talking about steam, have you missed the old black engine on the B&M line? Last week a new little green dicsel came riding into town on a flatcar. By the end of the week it was chugging along haul ing those big gondola cars of marl. In yellow letters on the side are the words, B&M Railroad, Men haden Line. Broad street residents are prob ably glad to see the old black chuff chuff off the track*, and hope it has gone to stay.

Middle age is that period in life when you would do anything to feel better, except to give up what's hurting you. , By Alexander R. George Washington ? The Democrats may be heading for one of their old-style rip-roaring lights at this year's convention. For the first time in 28 years a really tough tussle for the presi dential nomination is in prospect. The 103-ballot batUe in 1924, which ended with the nomination of a dark horse candidate, John W. Davis of West Virginia, was the most prolonged in the history of both major parties. For nine days the balloting went on in Madison Square Garden, New York City, before Davis was chosen to break the deadlock between Al fred E. Smith and William G. Mc Adoo. The fight almost split the Democratic party. Klan Issue Besides the nomination contest, there was a fierce struggle over the party's platform sund on a resur gent Ku Klux Klan. It led to fist fights among delegates and long lasting bitterness in some state delegations. A platform plank declaring for religious freedom and condemning race dissension, without mention ing the Klan, was adopted. A pro posed plank denouncing the Klan by name was defeated by four-and a traction votes. During the nominating speeches a wheelchair was trundled onto the big platform. In the chair was the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, who made a nominating speech for Smith. This was an early bit of political showmanship by the man who became the champion nomina tion winner. Sharp battling is expected at the Democratic convention in Chi cago. However, the doings prob ably will be docile compared with the gun-toting pow-wows of earlier years. First GOP Convention Back in 1856, when the Republi cans held their first nominating convention in Philadelphia, dele gates from the Far West came east by stage coach, carrying long ri fles to ward off Indiana and moun tain lions. It took some of them seven weeks to make the trip. The 1856 Democratic convention assembled in Cincinnati to the roar of the Empire club's artillery. The Thomas Benton delegates from Missouri, excluded from the con vention hall, knocked down the doorkeepers to gain entrance. "Bowie knives and revolvers were brandished, but no great harm was done," a newspaper reported. The controversy over extension of slavery was at shooting stage in bloody Kansas. Rival factions had captured towns and burned the houses of political enemies. An Abolitionist Speaks An abolitionist senator from Massachusetts said: "President Pierce goes to the Democratic con vention with the light of the burn ing dwellings of Kansas flashing upon his brazen brow." Gen. John C. Fremont of Cali fornia, Mexican war veteran and Indian fighter, was nominated for President by Republican delegates who shouted: "We'll go for Fre mont! He grappled with the grizz ly bear, and he beat the Indiana. He can lick the slave-drivers." When the Republicans nominated Lincoln in 1860 the country was on the verge of civil war. When the news reached the south a Rich mond newspaper said: "The Union is sundered." I860 Convention Split The Democrats held their I860 convention at Charleston, S. C. Failing to get a nominee after tak ing 57 ballots, the convention broke up when several southern delega tions pulled out and returned home. The remaining delegatea re opened the convention in Balti more, and Stephen Douglas waa nominated for President on the 50th ballot. It was the second longest ballot-battle in convention history.
