Sports is a common ground upon which men and women of all nationalities and many different backgrounds may meet. Teamwork on the playing field is essential, and prejudice has no part there. When an athlete works closely with someone of a different race, religion or political belief to ward a common goal, or competes against him in a spirit of good sportsmanship, he learns an unfor gettable lesson. The sports world has a particu larly significant contribution t* make U> the observance of Brother hood Week. The principles of tol erance and brotherhood go hand-in hand with participation in ath letics. The Olympic Games are an ex cellent example of how this works out. We dont tolerate discrimina tion. The only requirement is that an athlete must be an amateur who plays for the fun of it. We take anybody ? our doori are open to all. It is ability that counts. I I like to recall the words of an Hungarian youth who competed In the weight events at the 1948 Olym pics ia London. The sentiments of this athlete from an occupied coun try are a splendid answer to thoae who preach that amity and under standing among countries are an empty dream. "If every person could have such In experience as this," he said, "how wonderful It would be. Then there would be no hard feel ings and few walls between peo ples, let alone wars." We live in a materialistic world, Stop Taking Harsh Drags for Constipation MP IMM ?*Mll M MM III a* I hnr ot mS^iy conflicting polljf eel ideaiogies. Thus it ts amazing that such an idealistic enterprise as the Olympic Movement has grown and prospered in sucb an atmosphere. But it is also ? testimonial to the innate Hood in man and his desire (or a work! ruled by honesty, fair play and good sportsmanship ? a world where all have an equal op portunity ? where victory depends upon ability, hard work, personal skill and efficiency, and where the reward is baaed on merit The significance of sports in the world today has often been illus trated in the Olympics. It is a Czech distance runner collapsing and being helped by a Norwegian, an American and a Korean. It is an outclassed Japanese runner moving to the outside of the track so that a Pole and a Find might have ? chance to break a record. It is the universal desire to play fair by men of every idealogy and of every race. Kings and princes and ordinary citizens have told me they believe nothing does more to combat racial prejudice than the Olympics. In 1938, when the Olympic Games were held in Nazi Germany, much was made of a report that Jesse Owens, our most sspectacular athlete, had been snubbed by Hit ler because he was a Negro. Acttt ally. Hitler didn't shake Owen*' hand because the International Olympic Committee had forbidden such displays. The committee suspected that Hitler might attempt to use the Games for Nazi aggrandizement. However, it was made clear to the German dictator that he was to be only a spectator at the Games, that he had nothing to do with their conduct. Rather than risk having the Game* withdrawn from Germany, Hitler acceded, making the Olytv pic Committee the only organia tion to lay down the law to tie Nazis and make it stick. The real ^tary of the Berlin Games was the performance of fopr Negroes ? Owens, John Woodruff, Archie Williams and Cornelias Johnson ? who woa six world championships in a land where ra cial intolerance was the rule. At Helsinki in IMS, there was wide disagreement over whether Russia should be allowed to com pete. The Soviets did send a team, Mayor Dill was talking about ap-< pi* pie the other day. He Mid, "You know I like apple pie. In (act, apple pie is like corn liquor; some is better than others, but none is bad." Here's a rumor; now mind you this is Just a rumor! Morehead City's waterfront is going to have a fine new seafood restaurant soon. Captain Tony Seaman and Cap tain Ted Garner tell this one about the early days when they had the real small seafood restaurant on the waterfront: Twas late at night, the place was empty with only one customer sitting at the bar; OYSTER BAR THAT IS! He was Captain Dave Strickland, who was feeling no pain when in walked a 'real snap py character from New York, a real uptown YANKEE DOODLE BOY. He ordered his dinner, and in due course (not golf) finished same, and got ready to pay his check; but it seemed he didn't have any thing smaller than a hundred dollar bill. So he said, "Can any of you boys tear this up for me?" Meaning, of course, to change it. Captain Dave leaked up. ruck ed over, and took the bill and tore it I* two. Then he tore the two halves in two and BROTHER THAT WAS fT! It took the eoaibtned efforts of Capts. Tony and Ted to prevent a real battle, and it was they who had to give the man a hundred dollars in smaller bills. Eventual ly. they were able to patch up the torn kill and turn it into the kank Vicki McCuiatui. the golf pro's glamour gal. had a dream the other morning early. It was about going Xo church. Well anyway, out of trie dream she heard a knocking on the door, so getting up half< asleep, she put on a robe and went to the front door. It was the paper boy. So still hatf asleep she started to dress; hat, gloves, etc. Mr. Mack said, "Say where are you going dressed like that this early in the morning?" Mrs. Mark, still remembering the vivid dream, said. "To church you Idiot, where did you think I was go ing?" Mack said, "I'll be blessed If that's so honey, this is Satur day." Mrs. Mack hasn't lived that one down yet. There was a crowd at a party and about two or three in the morning, when they all began to feel good, one man decided to call Mt* ijl fuddy duddies in the the number and ^^K"ls?E^>avis there?" "No, huve*the wrong number." So this fellow hung up and then called again a short while later nnd asked the same question, "Is Mr. Davis there?" "NO, blast it, you have the wrong number and be more careful when you dial." The third time he railed ie said huskily. "THIS IS MR. DAVIS, HAVE I HAD ANY CALIFS PLEASE?" Jerry Sohumo?W?f Mayor Comments on Apple Pie: Cao n Dave Busts Bill Knight Hoopsters To Meet W. S. King In District Games Queen Street High School and W. S.

King has the advantage o I height but haaat met the calibre of teams during the regular season that Queen Street has. Queea Street has ifoet the top schools in this area and has come out on top to be recognised as a leading bas ketball power. Queen Street should get past the opening round without too muck difficulty. The Knights' scheduled season game with Central High of Golda boro Tuesday was cancelled. and even though their athletet ware carefully shielded from con tacts with the Western World, it can at least be hoped that the Olympic principle of fair play reached even Inside the forbidding walls of the Kremlin. The Olympic ideal of sport for sport's sake has defied dictators, out-lasted ware and risen above po litical struggles. It will continue to do se. FOR ? ? ? ?
