CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES Cartarvt Coumty'a Naw*pap?r EDITORIALS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1958 Worthy of Pride The County Ministers Association can take pride in its achievements in the 1968 migrant ministry program. Be cause the program was ably admini* tered, there was more personal inter est from a wider group of people than was evident during the first summer of 1957. Much of the success of ministering to the migrants depends on the migrant minister himself. Carteret was extreme ly fortunate in having during the past summer the Rev. Marshall Gilmore, who was assigned to this county through the Council of Churches. Mr. Gilmore was conscientious, well versed in the requirements for a suc cessful migrant program, understand ing, and diligent. Although many of the migrants were at first skeptical of this person who came among them, not to demand but to serve, he soon won their respect. How well the migrant minister can do his work depends on how much sup port he receives from the people in the area where he works. He needs play things for the children, clothing to dis tribute to the laborers, recreational equipment, and persons to help teach Sunday School and lead recreational activities. Last summer the migrant minister's time had to be divided among more than a thousand workers in 13 camps. It was impossible for him to get to all the camps on a Sunday to conduct wor ship services, nor can he get to all camps to lead recreation or show movies. That's why other helpera are needed. The farmers, for whom the laborers work, are to be commended for their interest in making the stay of the mi grant more pleasant. The good work ers want to go to the areas where they are well housed and well treated. The migrant ministry program is no guarantee that there will be no drunk enness, no Saturday night fights, or other trouble among the migrants. Since the migrant ministry program has been in effect, however, there have been fewer law-breaking disturbances involving migrants. The migrant ministry committee, made up of representatives from many organizations in the county, will have available in the very near future a se ries of color slides which tell the story of the migrant laborer in Carteret. These will be available for showing to church, civic, and fraternal groups. They tell, better than many words, of the importance of the migrant min istry program. It is hoped that next year's program, under the leadership of the Rev. William Jeffries, Marshall berg, will be even better than the im proved ministry of 1958. Who Will Light the Way? J. A. DuBois, manager of the More head City Chamber of Commerce tells his Christmas story in October: Everyone expects to see our main business section gaily decorated during the Christmas holidays and would be very disappointed if it remained dark and uninviting, but to decorate a street which is 120 feet wide costs money ? at least $1,800. The town has no funds which can be expended for this purpose, so it is up to the public and the merchants to raise the necessary funds. Everyone benefits, directly or Indi rectly, from the Christmas shopping season. More shoppers mean more bus iness for everyone, whether in business on Arendell Street or many blocks away. Each year more and more firms and individuals have recognized the busi ness and sentimental value of a Cheer fully Lighted Morehead City and have contributed generously. It is hoped that, in the next few days, the funds necessary may be raised. If you are not contacted for a contribu tion, just call a member of the mer chants committee and he will be glad to stop by and pick up your check. The committee: Earl Lewis, Walter Morris, Henry White, Charles Willis, Oscar Allred, Rufus Butner and Joe DuBois. Filters in the Middle (Richmond News Leader) "Yeah. All my life I been smoking cigarettes, see, good cigarettes with a nice, rich tobacco taste, but lately I been reading the magazines, and now I want to switch brands. What you got?" "Well, let me suggest Hibblepickle's Blend, in regular or king size. Pure cellulose, and 20,000 tar traps." "Pure what?" "Pure cellulose, sir, nothing but the purest. Hibblepickle's contains practi cally no tar, practically no nicotine and practically no flavor. That is because it contains practically no tobacco." "What else you got?" "Well, you might want to try a few packs of Tennessee Alfalfa." "Eh?" 'Tennessee Alfalfa. It is 5.38 centi meters long and is laboratory tested at not more than four milligrams of glue. Tennessee Alfalfa's are the only brand containing Mentholatum, horse lini ment and neatsfoot oil. They work twice as fast as buffering." "Anything else?" "I myself have switched to Conduc tor's Glove, in the crush-proof box, to gether with valuable coupons. It is only CG that offers the filter in the middle, plus the magical plim-sol line." "The what?" "The plim-sol line, down where the polyethyl esters begin, in between the horizontal filtering action and the low octans asphalt trap." ''And what does all that do?" "Well, with CG's, you can light either end, or for a novelty, you can light it in the middle and use it to drive away gnats. They burn pretty fast, but you can set your own blend with the button on the side, and with this brand you don't have to blast off at Canav eral, tattoo your wrist, or wear a black eye patch. All you have to have is a bad cold." "It will clear up a cold?" "No. With a bad cold, you can't taste it. Matter of fact, you can't taste it anyhow. But it will give you lung can cer only half as fastk and it offers the manly smell of new-mown crab grass." "It's a terrible decision. The more I think about it, the more I think I'm go ing to swear off." "Swear off smoking, sir?" "Nope. Swear off reading Reader's Digest." Prof. John Tyndall, the noted Eng lish scientist, once confessed that the finest inspiration he ever received came from an old manservant Every morn ing this old man would knock at his master's door and say, "Arise, sir; it is near 7 o'clock, and you have great work to do today."

R. of Ventura, Calif.: "My wife and I were discussing Social Security the other day be cause we're both nearing the age when we can collect. I'm *4. She's 61. I told her I thought she could collect when she reaches 62 whether I retire or not. She has never worked under Social Security. She said I was wrong. Am I?" Yes. Your wife can collect So cial Security .at 62 based on your record but only if you are also col lecting payments. From Mrs. T. B. A. of Fall River, Mass.: "I've just applied to the Veterans Administration for a widow's pension because my husband was a veteran of World War I. If I get the pen sion, how much will It be? If I should remarry, will I lose the pension?" The World War I widow's pension is $50.40 _a mqptbvypu'U lose the ' pension 1t yod^remarry. From M. H. of Trenton, N. J.: "My wife has had a cleaning wo man come in once a week for the past year. I know she should be paying Social Security tai on the woman's wages, but we don't know where to get the instruc tions on how to do it. Can you help?" You can write to the Social Se curity office listed in your phone book or the Internal Revenue Ser vice office to which you mail your tax return. From J. M. of Cape Girardeau, I Mo.; "Docs the government pay anything into the Civil Service retirement fund to cover part of the cost?" Yes. The government matches the 8W per cent contributed by government workers. From S. N. of Monroe, La.: "I've worked under Social Se curity since 1937 and am single. My parents are still living. I un derstand that they may be able to receive Social Security pay ments due to my work if I should die. What are the require ments?" Parents may receive Social Se curity based on your work record if they were receiving at least one half of their support from you at the time of your death. Other re quirements are that your mother must be at least 62, your father at least 65 and that no surviving widow or child under 18 is entitled to payments. Vram Mrs. F. 8. (5. High Point, N. C.: "My husband ia ? World War I veteran aad baa re ceived medical care on several occasions at i vet's hospital. As his wire, I'm wondering if I'm also eligible?" No. Except in emergencies only veterans are eligible. (Editor's Note: Yon may con tact the social security repre sentative at the courthouse an nex, Beaufort, from (:30 a.m. to noon Tuesdays. He will help yon with your own particular prob lem). This is the Law By ROBERT E. LEE For the N.C. Bar Association INHERITANCE BY MURDER Joe Jones executes a will leav ing all of his real and personal property to Sally Smith. Subse quently he is murdered. Five years later it is discovered that Sally committed the murder. She is convicted of the crime and sentenced to prison for a number of years. Are the relatives of Joe now en titled to the property that Sally inherited from Joe? Yes. Sally holds the property she inherited under the will of Joe upon a "constructive trust" for the persons who would have been en titled to the property if the will had been revoked. This is an application of the general principle of equity that a person shall not be permitted to profit from his own wrong. The murderer may be compelled to surrender the property which she has acquired to the persona who stand next in the line of suc cession and who would have ac quired the property if the mur derer had predeceased her victim. A widow dies without a will. Her closest next of kin are two bro thers and a son. The son is convicted of the mur der of his mother and sentenced to prison for twenty years. Who becomes entitled to the widow'a property? The two brothers of the widow. Where a person is murdered by his heir or next of kin, and there is no will, the murderer holds the property thus acquired by him upon a "constructive trust" for the person or persons who would have been heirs or next of kin if be had predeceased the victim. A "constructive trust" is a legal device the courts use to prevent unjust enrichment. A husband and wife owned real property in North Carolina as ten ants by the entirety. The husband waa convicted of murdering Ida wife and sent to prison. Who bo came the owner of the real prop erty? The Supreme Court of North Carolina said that the property was to be held by the husband as a "constructive trustee" for the heirs of his wife, subject to a beneficial life interest in the whole of the property for the murderer. The husband was perpetually en joined from conveying the absolute ownership of the land. The reason that the court permitted the mur derer to have a beneficial interest for life in the Whole of the prop erty is that under the law govern ing tenancy by the entirety in North Carolina the husband is en titled to the whole of the income and use during their joint lives.

Smile a While An angry little man bounced into the postmaster's office. "For some time now," he shouted, "I've been pestered with threatening letters, and I want something done about it!" "I'm sure we can help," soothed the postmaster. "That's a federal offense. Have you any idea who is sending you the letters." "Indeed I have," snapped the lit tle man, "they're all coming from those income tax people." The two things most open to mistakes are the pocketbook and the tongue.

William Makepeace Thackeray I do not believe a child, brought up under my ministry in this church, will ever see flowers till he dies without having some thought of re ligion. of the sanctuary, and of the inspiration of flowers. So, flowers at our scrvicc have a meaning. They are not in any special way a sym bolization; they simply bring things common into higher relations on a principle of association; and having them on the platform, besides af fording pleasure, to a certain extent interprets a part of my idea of the Christian ministry. ? Beecher From the Bookshelf The Violated. By Vance Bour Jaily. Dial Press. $4 95 The author calls his novel The Violated? "violated by neuro tic commitments to presposterous goals, or, more tragically, to no goals at all." It is a tragedy of the unconsummated, but it is also a symphony of human beings. There is a crudeness about the sexuality in the novel's early pages ?it Is just under 600? that some may take for raw strength, man ners and tastes being what they are these days. But the use of the flagrantly ob scene word is sparse and the au thor does make the early back ground serve validly what be has done. He has used flashback well and that play within a play? Hamlet as done by a band of eager chil dren? to build his symphony. Whe ther his charactcrs ring true in solo, they play their parts in tune in this human orchestra and with in the limits the author sets for them. The novel provides some fairly rewarding reading and will un doubtedly show up on a wide screen some day. The child's Hamlet is an index to the childlike quality of Tom Beniger, the novel's hero even though he is a classical scholar; his sister Ellen, whose childish ness stems partly from the alco holism of her later years; Guy Chinturon, the Mexican-American millionaire and football star whose childish simplicity consists of keep ing a gold star notebook of the women he's had; and Eddie Bissle, friend of Tom and Guy and Ellen's lover, who never really grew up. Bourjaily traces them from childhood through the accidents of school encounters that twine their lives, through and after World War II, in and near New York. The brief war episodes are among the best in the novel, .strong, pointing up the later trag edy. But when Eddie kills Tom by mistake it is the tragedy of non consummation. When the young sters' Hamlet is broken up, by a vicious mistake, it is a tragedy of unfulfillment. Even Guy fatla in a way? he never reachei the 350 gold stars in his conquest roll. There are tired references to psychiatry and wiaecracks that ap pear to be the fashion now about tv and Fire Island, New York, being havens for homosexuals. But the author does make even the cheapness explain why his hu man chorus sang the way it did. The Era of Theodore Roosevelt. By George E. Mowry. Harper. $5. It was during the first 12 years of the 20th century that the United States clearly emerged as a world power. Those years also were marked by aggressive federal ac tion to deal with social-economic ferments oir the domestic scene. These were the years largely dominated at home, and to a con siderable extent overseas,, by the personality of Theodore Roosevelt. In "The Era of Theodore Roose velt," the latest book in "The New American Nation Series," the au thor says: "Few presidents have evoked more contradictory emo tions among his fellows than Theo dore Roosevelt. The man simply inspired strong words. To an adoring William Allen White be was a paragon of moral and intellectual values. Henry Adams assigned to him 'the singu lar primitive quality . . . that me dieval theology assigned to God he was pure act. Others spoke in angry tones of his 'ambitious, imperious and ar rogant' character, full of 'brutal fury and coarse violence.' Henry Demarest Lloyd called him an 'ata vism . . . with much the same ap petite for the spread of ideas by explosion which Napoleon had'." Now, after the lapse of nearly half a century, during which other presidents like his cousin. Frank lin D. Roosevelt, and Harry S. Tru man took over the progressive movement and advanced the social revolution in America, scholars are reappraising Theodore Roose velt. Author Howry condenses his study of the man and his times into 295 pages. He achieves objec tivity for the most part, although admiration for the Rooseveltian energy la obvious. He writes deploringly of .Theo dore Roosevelt's ruthlessness in foreign affair*. Particularly penetrating is the author's analysis of the changes In American thought patterns aroqnd and immediately after the turn of the century, providing the Intellectual background for the emergence and successful presi dential career of such ? aaa as T.
