CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES Cartarat County** Nawspapar EDITORIALS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1958 All Have a Right to Speak Several weeks ago a front page story in The News-Times presented opinions of persons who are not completely sold on the consolidated school plan. For printing that story the newspaper has roused the ire of those in favor of the consolidated plan. That plan envisions a high school for students east of New port River and a high school for stu dents west of Newport River. The newsstory referred to above has been interpreted by many as the opin ion of The News-Times rather than the opinion of certain persons who live in outlying areas of the county. The opinions of this newspaper, with few exceptions, always appear in this space. If our opinions appear on the front page, they will be labeled "Edi torial". The newsstory in question was not so labeled. We are so much in favor of consolidation that we wish the coun ty were composed, geographically, so that only one high school could serve all communities! The best interests of the county are not served by maintaining little community high schools. But we will not deny the people who are against consolidation the right to express their opinion. Some of the two-consolidated-high school folks apparently believe that the front page story posing questions about the consolidated plan was more fiction than fact. We are flattered that they endow us with such "creative ability". Persons in favor of consolidated schools seem to want to kid themselves into thinking that everything's rosy and all they have to do is read in the news paper every Tuesday and Friday that "two consolidated schools are' what ia needed" and by some magic, therefore, the county will get them. A lot of folks want to know more about the "consolidation" plan. We be lieve that they will get this informa tion if education officials and the Coun ty Citizens Committee for Better Schools are aware that some have doubts about consolidation. We're sor ry if a newsstory to that effect hurt the feelings of pro-consolidation folks, but many a contest has been loit simply be cause the loser had kidded himself into thinking he was going to win. Much more will be said about schools in coming weeks. But all factions should know this: Regardless of our opinion, we will present all sides of the question relating to the school situa tion. But we can't do this if one faction decides that it is "getting no coopera ion from the newspaper" and therefore is afraid to tell the newspaper its side of the story. The columns of this paper are open to those in favor of consolidation, those against and those in between. Much good comes from debate. To para phrase Voltaire, "We may not agree with what you say, but we will defend to the death your right to say it, and as long as you are sincere, honest, and have at heart the best interests of the children, we will publish what you have to say." For All the World's Children Throughout the county, children dressed in Halloween costumes will ring doorbells Friday night as ambassa dors of goodwill for UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund. These ghosts and goblins will be trading "no tricks played on you" if you will treat them to pennies, nickels and dimes for the Children's Fund. This money is used to provide medicine and food for millions of sick and hungry children all over the world. Sunday Schools are taking an active part in the pro gram. The Sun day School pupils will be making the calls, door to door, with milk carton containers or jars for holding the coins. Only those youngsters dis playing the emblem shown here will be authorized collectors for the Children's Fund. Last year two million American youngsters contributed over a million dollars to UNICEF. Transformed by the Children's fund into life-saving: medicine and food, each penny meant five glasses of milk or the vaccine to protect a child from tuberculosis; each nickel provided the penicillin to cure a child of yaws, a crippling tropical dis ease. UNICEF is also helping in a 10-year malaria eradication program. In addi tion, maternal and child welfare cen ters have been established where long range programs of health and nutrition education are in operation. Each Trick or Treat coin more than doubles itself, because UNICEF assist ance means self-help. Each country re ceiving aid contributes an average of $2 in either money or services for every dollar from the Children's Fund. Participation in Trick or Treat for UNICEF means a better world tomor row for millions of children. Summit Conference of 1520 (North American Newspaper Alliance) Summit conferences can be fun while they last. At least they once were ? back in 1520. That was the year Cardinal Wolsey and King Henry VIII of England held open house for royal delegations from France. The purpose was to get the French to sign a treaty of "perpetual peace" ? Cardinal Wolsey 's idea. Instead of "perpetual peace," how ever, the purpose seemed more like per petual drinking, dining and dancing. Both Wolsey and Henry threw their own parties for the guests, and each tried to outdo the other in generosity. When the Frenchmen arrived ? 80 of them with their retinues ? they went directly to Hampton Court where Cardinal Wolsey was holding his party. He had done over his entire palace ? new tapestries on the walls, magnifi cent new fittings of silks and satins for 280 beds, gold or silver wash bowls and pitchers in every bedroom. The next day, after the treaty was signed and mass said by the cardinal, everyone went hunting, returning in time for the banquet According to George Cavendish, Wolsey's right-hand man, the main course consisted of 100 different dishes. King Henry was even richer than his cardinal, and the banquet he threw for the Frenchmen topped anything ever seen before, according to Cavendish. When they left England, the French delegates staggered aboard their ships weighted down with costly gifts, even the youngest page boy getting his share. The "perpetual peace" celebrated by all this magnificence was far from per petual. In a relatively short time, France and England were at war again.

U East 40th Street, New York H. N. T. The Associated Press Is entitled exclusively to use tor republication of local mot printed in thla newspaper, aa well as all AP nnrs dispatches Entered as 8ecood Class Matter at Monhud Ctty, N. C., Under Act of March t, Ul? Ruth P? ling Make Her Look Like a Monster! The shining goal of every fashion designer and hair stylist apparent ly is "Make every woman look like a monster." The saek look was the first to hit the innocent populace. Yet the dress designs weren't satisfied. Women reeled under the innova tion, but came back, bought the sacks, and didn't look quite mon ster-ish enough. So this fall, among other things, It's the "empire" look, a throw back to styles of the days of Na poleon. This look makes a woman appear to be in the family way, not about six months as did the sacks, but just one break-neck ride away from the hospital. Now the hair stylists are NOT go ing to be left eating the dust of dress designers. They have devised coiffures to "match" the ungodly creations for the human female form. Not only are wigs, in all hues of the rainbow, on the market, but extra hair pieces are available to make your head look as though it's aprouting horns. From the carefree Italian style of short hair that looks as though it is combed by an egg-beater, the hair stylists have swung to ultra-formal styles. They are styles that no woman can achieve unless she has a beautician move in with her to comb and arrange her hair morning, noon, and night. Object: make hair look like any thing but hair. The harlequin look is "the thing" in the makeup line. The face must be a white, unhealthy pastey look. If you are in the last stages of tu berculosis, this is no problem. The cosmetics people will hate you. But if you're fairly healthy, you'll have to rush to the cosmetics counters for pale powder base, chalk - white face powder, and oodles of eye make up, false eye lashes, and wispish pink lipstick. While wearing this gook on one's face, to be completely in style, ani mation must be kept to a mini mum. Smile at your own risk; never laugh out loud, frown or shout at your peril ? the point is to be wispy, delicate and aloof. If you have achieved all the fore going, you are, in the eyes of the fashion experts, a strikingly beau tiful woman. In the eyes of your male associates you'll probably be classified as a monster. I'm a stoic. When it comes to ex tremes in dress and makeup, I re fuse to be bamboozled into the crushing rush. But several months ago, I finally succumbed. I in dulged in some eye makeup. My bis concession to the height of fashion was eye shadow. Reactions: One friend (and she really is, she wasn't being catty) concernedly asked me, "How did you bruise your eye?" I grinned bravely and said, "Oh, that's eye shadow." Well, I went home and looked in the mirror a long time. It sort of did look like a bruise. But, undaunted, I vowed to con tinue. Everybody else was looking, or trying to look, peculiar, so I could look juit a little peculiar too, couldn't I? (No need to work at it, huh?) So on the next big occasion, out comes the eye shadow. I applied it "skillfully", according to di rections in all beauty magazines. I thought I got by in fine style but the next day a gentleman said to me, "What did you have on your eyes last night?" "Eye shadow." "You looked as though you had two holes in your head." That did it. The one hole in my head I conceal beneath my hair. But to have people NOTICE TWO holes, that was too much. The world of fashion won't miss me, so I'm just going to keep orbit ing in my own little realm, in clothes that fit, in hair that's mine, and eyes that gaze through glasses unhampered by false lashes and blue grease. Bill Taft has taken pictures of the beat-up signs on highway 70A that say "Welcome to Morehead City, Speed Limit 35 Miles an llour". They're a disgrace, he says. Many people agree. If the signs are not to be repainted, they could at least be taken down and stored away, and used in the future when wood and posts for signs are needed. Mr. Taft also contends that col umns on this page arc misnamed. Bill Crowell of the Motor Vehicles Department should be induced, he aays, to give up the title of his column and let me have it. " Free Wheeling with Ruth Peeling sounds so phonetic," Mr. Taft declares. I wonder how long it took him to think of that. The secretary of Britain's film censorship board said at Hoddes don, England recently that Ameri can movies were sexier than French films. "Sex causes us more trouble in American films than in films made in France," censor John Trevelyan told the British Film Institute Sum mer School. Well, if the British would just do away with censorship of films as the United States has done, the cen sorship board wouldn't be bother ed. The whole population of Eng land would be bothered, Instead. At least two of the new model cars bought by county residents have already been dented or bump ed in some way. As Dr. Larry Moore once said, "No use trying to keep a new car new. Best thing to do is go beat it up all over with a hammer and you'U be all right." Captain Henry Sou'easter Ran into B. G. Foster, the fa mous bear hunter of Gatlinburg, Tenn., who's down here bear hunt ing. He and his party shot two beauties before 9 o'clock Friday morning- B. G. said the fur i? good and long? will make beauti ful bear rugs. Thus far, the kill has been eight. That reminds me of a story about a hunter, unlike B. G., who spends hours telling of his esca pades. This long-winded one was saying, "As I came around a turn in the road, I came face to face with a 7-foot bear, and a hundred picturea of my past life rushed before my mind . . ." A listener broke in, "Say, tell me, did you happen to see my lending you that fifty bucks back in 1953?" J. P. Harris was watching a youngster saddle up a horse the other day. J. P. walked up to him and said, "Pardon me, son, but aren't you putting your saddle on back wards?" "Some cowboy you are," the lad retorted. "You don't even know which way I'm beaded." Let this be a lesson to folks who are always eager to give cash to someone pretending to be In need of a handout: A man threw a quarter toward the blind man's cup. The coin missed and rolled along the pave ment, but the man with the dark glasses quickly recovered it. "I thought you were blind," said the astonished man. "No, I'm not the regular blind man, sir," replied the man with the cup. "I'm just taking his place while he's at the movies."

German Ugar, 9 mllllmter pUtoL From the Bookshelf The Dharma Bams. By Jack Ke rouac. Viking, $3.tS. Ray Smith is riding a freight out of Los Angeles when we first meet him, the narrator and spokes man for Kerouac, in this new novel by the leading representative of our fictional young Beat Genera tion. He Is in the company of a "Dhar ma bum," a religious wanderer, a man seeking truth; he is one himself; and be will spend most of his time in this story, as he tells it, with the original D. B., Japby Ryder. Japhy is often seen in the full lotus position, that is, crossed legs with ankles on thighs, and telling his Juju beads; and there is a whole Oriental ethical vocabulary to which these busy-body truth seekers constantly revert: Sama patti, bhikku, Buddham, Saranam, Gocchami, Kwannon, Kasyapa, Ta thagata, Maitreya, Bodhisattva Ma hasattva, mandala, sutra, Dipan kara? indeed when Ray mentions Sinatra, or Cheddar, you're caught upawares and think for a moment it's still the higher life Instead at a crooner and a cheese. There ia a lot of drinking of Cali fornia wines, and every now and then the boys turn earthy and com mon on us, dance in the nude, and Indulge in "yabyum," which means in Keronachesc a good time with the girls. But this ia in the main ? search. In which prayer takes a part, for a new and better life. The boys go climb a mountain, undergo the triala of the wilderness, look down on a promised land, and come out of it grandly self-sufficient, in love with the unsullied air of snow covered peaks, and scornful of cities, determined to be better men and ait on a rock and meditate themselves into a state of good ness and grace. This is more "On the Road," the novel which first called Kerouac to our attention; Ray bums rides on freights, or hitch-hikes, or rides by bus up and down the Pacific coast, comes east, goes west again, never stays still. It is pretentious in spots, and silly and inane. But a lively Imag ination, if not a profound one, la at play here, and there Is aenae behind the excess of posturing. ? W. G. Rogers _ _ ? it 'n iimaiH louiw Spivy Words of Inspiration HINDRANCES Eyes blinded by the fog of Things cannot lee Truth. Ears deafened by the din of Things cannot bear Truth. Brains bewildered by the whirl of Things cannot think Truth. Hearts deadened by the weight of Things cannot feel Truth. Throata choked by the dust of Things cannot speak Truth. - Harold Bell Wright QUOTES It is better to have nothing to do than to be doing nothing.? Attilus That you retain your self respect, it is better to displace the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily pleaae them by doing what you know is wrong. Flattery is nothing but soft soap, containing a high percentage of lye. George Washington wisely said, "Great people are not affected by each puff of wind that blows ill. Like great ships, they sail serenely on, in a calm sea or a great tempest. It is better to say something good about a bad man than to say some thing bad about a good man. The young man who thinks the world owes him a living becomes the old man who blames the world for his failures. A man's good breeding is the best security against another's bad manners. ? Chesterfield Kindness is the language the dumb can speak and the deaf can hear and understand. Intelligence is like a river ... the deeper it flows, the less noise it makes. The final test of gentility is the ability to disagree without being dis agreeable. From time to time the girls in my Sunday School class have brought to the class books, poetry or prose which they had found to be inspira tional to share with all of us. The following poem was brought to us by Linda Burrows. The title nor the author was not included, but it certainly gives us something to think about, as we complain about the things we do not have. Today, upon a bus, I saw a lovely girl with golden hair. Envied her, she seemed so gay, and wished I were as fair. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle; She had one leg, and wore a crutch; and as she passed ... a smile. And then I stopped to buy some sweets. The lad who sold them had such charm, I talked with him ... he seemed so glad ... if I were late 'twouM do no harm. And as I left he said to me: "Thank you. You have been so kind." "It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see," he said, "I'm blind." Later, walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes so blue, lie stood and watched the others play; it seemed he knew not what to do. I stopped a moment, than I said: "Why don't you join the others, dear?" He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew ... he could not hear. With legs to take me where I'd go . . . With eyes to see the sunsets glow . . . With ears to hear what I would know ... Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I'm blessed indeed. The world is mine. Comment ? ? ? J. Kellum Advice Poems In the 19th Century rage for righeousness, a number of poets de livered advice on taking advantage of what opportunities are offered by the moment. In the two poems quoted bclf>w, the first is an exam ple of the preaching type of pro nouncement, the sccond of the story-with-a-moral type. Both are titled, "Opportunity:" Master of human destinies am I. Fame, love, and fortune on my footsteps wait, Cities and fields I walk; I pene trate Deserts and seas remote, and, passing by Hovel, and mart, and palace, soon or late I knock, unbidden once at every gate! If sleeping, wake ? if feasting, rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate. And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury and woe, Seek me In vain and uselessly im plore ? I answered not, and I return no more. John James Ingalls does not spe cify the moral character of the op portunities offered. A little less grandiose though extreme for the sake of making a clear impression ia Edward K. Sill's contribution: This I behold, or dreamed it in a dream: ? There spread a cloud of dust along a plain; And underneath the cloud, or in it, raged A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince's banner Wavered, then staggered back ward, hemmed by foes. A craven hung along the battle'* edge. And thought, "Had I a sword of keener steel ? That blue blade that the king'i son bears ? but this Blunt thing!" ? he snapped and flung it from his hand. And lowering crept away and left the field. Then came the king's son, wound ed, sore bestead, And weaponless,, and saw the broken sword, Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand. And ran and snatched it, and with battle-shout Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down, And saved a great cause that heroic day. Stamp News By 8TD KR0N1SH The United States Postoffice De partment has made an unusual de parture from its normal proce dures. Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield announced that col lectors may aend for first day cov ers now for the 7 cent Air Mail Alaska Statehood stamp even though a date of issuance has not been decided!
