Ever Upward Budgets of governmental units seem to move ever upward, and while some have been known to point out this fact as an evidence of growth and progress, the same is decried by many who would like to see budgets turn downward. Everyone expects some increase in budgets, but not the astronomical steps taken in the past few years. Perhaps the best yardstick would be a per capita measurement. Thus we have a new federal adminis tration' which is committed to budget paring. Already, though, there have ap peared in publications around the na: tion the general theme: don't expect too much of the Eisenhower administration, in respect" to paring the budget and slashing taxes during his first year at least. Could the inspiration be provided by those who are hopeful of doing some of the spending? The state level finds the same situa tion existent. Elected this season in North Carolina was a theoretically con servative administration, with majority of the legislator members supposedly of the same faith. What comes out? The biggest biennial budget recommendation ever, and by far. Nor is that sufficient. Department heads have already started parading before committees seeking even more money. Emphasis has changed in the past two decades. The late Franklin Roosevelt always .startled the Congress and the nation by asking much more money than he ex pected. The amounts voted approximat ed needs. But during World War II years the Congress forgot its old policy of auto matically slicing budget requests by whopping amounts. The Cong r e s s thought what was asked was necessary, forgetting that bureau heads, like peo ple, always need more money to sjaend. Changing the present pattern is to be desired, for budget-paring is mandatory to tax cuts. Mr. Fuller The discharge of M. K. Fuller, for more than two years the top city em ployee, came as a surprise to some citi zens. ? Previously, he had been retained in his position (which had taken various titles), by the close margin of one vote since inauguration of the Still admin istration. The least charitable anyone could be. in evaluating the work of Mr. Fuller here, is that he was badly hamstrung during the. interim since May 1951. The divided situation at City Hall has l>een rough for all city employees, and more particularly for the top employee. Since the Superior Court ruling last Oc tober, Mr. Fuller's hands have been ra ther completely tied and his duties were hard to spell out, either by his friends, or by his enemies, the disagreement be tween the two making assignment vir tually impossible. Biggest problem facing the Eisenhow er' administration, almost everyone agrees, is the Korean War. The nation is sick of stalemate, sick of casualty lists, sick of partial, piece-meal war. What c o u r s e the Eisenhower ad ministration will take is the question mark in the world today. The promsise has been made that the United Nations will assume the initiative. In what man ner, in what direction? If the new ad ministration can solve this problem and prevetit a reiurt??nce in other trouble spots, it will insure for itself a long lease on life. Secretary Wilson Whether true or not, the impression has obtained for the past several weeks that Charles Ervvin Wilson's appoint ment as secretary of defense was the best President Eisenhower had made. Folk thought right much of some of the others, but they all seemed to like the motor company president. Then somebody probed into what he was going to do about all his General Motors holdings and there was consid erable question about whether he would be seated, with both Democratic and Republican senators passing the word along the grapevine that proper ar rangements would have to be made be fore he could be confirmed. The result, of course, is history. At first, Mr. Wilson didn't seem too happy about it. He knew he was honest and that was that. Later, he capitulated, to the point that he will dispose of large holdings in General Motors, which he bossed. Most -impressive, it appeared to this newspaper, was the Wilson testimony before the Senate committee, regarding his holdings and his plans for their dis posal. His statements were completely frank. He had this, he would dispose of that. He did not want the statements kept secret. He was not ashamed of the fact that he had been a success. In this particular administration, there is no more responsible task, short of the presidency, than the secretary ship of defense. . . The transcript of the Wilson testimo ny before the Senate committee indica tes that the initial impression about Ike's "best appointment" may well be correct. Too Much Power A few. years ago, the owner of a new motor car with an engine developing as much as 100-horsepower had something to brag about, for that was quite a bit of get-up-and-go. Today, just about every auto on the road has 100-hp, and Cadillac is up to 210-horsepower. Why? ? Because the public demands it, the auto makers say. Yet it does seem most silly, this con tinually increasing power in the auto, which is not needed at all. Those who have to contend with the high accident total think the power trend should go the other way, and the more imagina-' tive ngure, that, in a couple more years at the present rate, autos will be equip ped with detractable wings, which will convert the auto into a plane for off-the ground cruising. Cadillac took notice of the too-much power situation recently in an adver-. tisement. It told its owners not to try to beat the neighboring auto away from the stoplight. "You can, ox course, but just remember that the other guy gets away first by your courtesy," the copy read or in words to that effect. Much lip service is paid to cutting the accident total, but there doesn't seem to be much room to talk when the auto buying public, almost everyone, still wants more powerful and faster cars. What she'll do is still a favorite con versation piece. Penalties rfiake everyone unhappy and are really unnecessary if everyone functions on time. Thus it is that smart folk will list their taxes prior to Febru ary 1, and pay 1952 tax bills prior to February 2, to avoid penalties as provi ded by law. Paying tax bijls is hard enough without adding extras. 10 YEARS AGO Items of news about Kings Mountain area people and events THIS WEEK taken from the 1943 files of the Kings Mountain Herald.

MARTIN'S MEDICINE By Martin Harm 00 Ingredients : bits of neuis, wisdom, humor, and comment. Direction. ? : Take weekly, if possible, but avoid overdoahge. Press Gathering The press folk gathered for their Mid-Winter Institute at Chapel Hill and Durham last week, and, most agreed, it was as nice a get-together as could be remembered. The weather was delightful, the food extra vagant, the attendance tops, the program sufficiently filled with the light and airy to keep everybody glowing. P'9 The press folk gather twice yearly, once in the winter for the Institute (a high-sounding name for an excuse to convene, perhaps), $nd once in the sum mer, the latter being the offi cial convention of the North Carolina Press association. There are other gatherings, too, groups, etc., but the two main event jobs are these. P-9 Both universities, the Duke folk and the Carolina folk, do a wonderful Job of hosting at the Mid-Winter Institute, and this year, their 20th, was no exception. p.g The speaking jobs for last Weekend's institute generally were well handled. Demaree Bess, the ex-foreign corres pondent who spent a decade in Russia, did the first job and, against his background of long term duty in the Orient and Europe, praised the George Kennan policy of containment in handling Russia. Doing so, he said he was probably the first fellow to jump on John Foster Dulles the new secretary of state. Mr. Bess, now an as sociate editor of the Saturday Evening Post, did not like the looks of the Dulles "liberation" policy. He had right good sup porting argument, pointing' out that 80 percent of most peoples .are passive to the political scene and that, in a country like Russia, most folk would ignore political developments. Mr. Bess' other main contribu tion, for whatever it is worth, was a defense of John Carter Vincent, who has had his loyal ty questioned. "Bosh", says Bess of his longtime friend, Vincent. P-9 Russell Wiggins, managing editor of the Washington Post, regarded as one of the nation's most fearless and best-edited newspapers, talked on "Better Newspapers", and had some in teresting suggestions on hand ling of news, fighting censor ship. ai\d other trade problems. p.g Again, for the Duk? din/ier speech, the press drew a minis ter, and again the address was one of the highlights of the program. If the preachin' pro ducts prove as good as the prea cher-teacher models the press has been hearing at Duke the past two seasons, then the Me thodists have some comers in score for their pulpits. Waldo Beach, a youthful looking drink of-water with a doctor in front of his name,, reminded the press in humorous satire that theirs is an interesting* and near-impossible duty to report facts, unbiased, unslnnted, un prejudiced. Dr. Beach told one of the best stories of the week end about an avid Texas Bap tist who, in his dying days joined the Catholic church. His friends, who heard about this unheard-of changeover, visited him in wonder and amazement, finally, one was bold enough to ask the reason. "Well, I'll tell you," the Baptist-turned Catholic replied, "I'm going to die pretty soon, and I'd much rather they'd lose one than us." P-9 Duke, as usual, went all-out to tantalize the palates of the pressfolk and the degree to which Duke succeeded can be compared to the football tri umph over Carolina last No vember and can best be indi cated by a listing of prihclpal Hems on the menu which fea tured roast stuffed Carolina squab. Engelhard shrimp cock tail, sweet potatoes Hawaiian, and chocolate pie supreme. This was in addition to such run-of-the-mill stuff as rose vadishes, hearts of celery., petit pois (green peas) and faculty club salad with four acres dressing. The stuffin' in the squab was as good a dressing as I ever ate. P-9 As usual whpn I get away from home, it turned out to be "n small world". Going out of the Carolina Inn one evening, I ran into Dr. Ladd Hamrlck, Jr., who grew up In Kings Moun tain^ and who recently took un to himself a bride. Coming home on Saturday, I stopped at a drive-in place for a sandwich, sat down on a counter stool beside an Akers trucker who turned out to be Gen^ Allen, ol Kings Mountain. And the lead ing lady of the .entertainment program at the Carolina lun cheon was a young woman, Barbara, Griffith, first known when we participated in help ing her sister get hitched some several moons ago.

Archaic ''the" See The Want Ad Section For This Week's Completed Puzzle Viewpoints of Other Editors WHAT BUSINESS HAS THE PUBLIC WITH PAROLES? Smithfield Herald "The records of the Board of Paroles shall not be open to the public." This is the flat declaration of one section of a bill introduced at Raleigh a few days ago. The people of North Carolina have objected to any display of politics in handling paroles for prisoners, and for that reason ,have been inclined to favor the move to take parole decisions out of the bands of a single man and invest the power in a board of three. But now it seems that the state's people are to see not only politics in parole questions bur secrecy as well ? that is, if this bill introduced in the House pass- , es there and in. the Senate. This is a step not toward the enlargement of liberty, but to wards the growth of the totali tarian concept. It is a strange fact that ever since the ending of the late war, the denunciation of Hit ler and Stalin have waxed in fury while the aping of their methods and ideas has been tos^ tered and spread. Official bodies are surrounding themselves with the halo that the Japanese used to accord to their emperor, while their doings, so far as recorded at all, are hidden in sacred vaults open only to members of an inner circle. Lis ten further to the language of the paroles board bill: "All information obtained in the discharge of official duties by any member or employee of the board shall be privileged." The United States of America were founded in an effort to break away from the idea of j privilege latent in every fibre of the Old World system. But here we have It renewed, naked and unadorned, in a bill laid before the North Carolina legislature. The handling of paroles at Ra leigh in recent years has satisfied no one. The idea of paroles Is sound, but the execution is poor. Reform is needed, but if reform is to be introduced as a cover for an anti-democratic concept, the bill In question deserves nothing but the axe. Eskew Now On Duty At Whiting Field MILTON, Fla.

FREE GRAYSON'S JEWELRY HOME OWNED j POWER AND LEADER SHIP BRING GREATLY INCREASED RESPONSI BILITY Stanly News and Press America is a young nation, as the world counts ages. Within the short space of 175 years, the United States has risen from a few colonies along the At lantic coast to be recognized as the most powerful nation of the Free World. No other nation has ever had a standard of living which would begin to compare with ours. No where else in the worid can In dustry produce the manufactured goods, which make for success in peace or war, with the speed and accuracy of our Industrial might. Confined within the borders of our great land is fifty per cent of the world's industrial produc tivity. We have come a long way. We have over 15Q millions of people. We have a lion's share of the wealth and resources of the globe. One thing we must, as a nation, realize is that with the advent of power comes responsibility. Our allies, recognizing our ability and our might, look to us naturally to take the leadership. Only by accepting the responsi bility of leadership in world af fairs can the United States fulfill the destiny which is rightfully hers as the mightiest nation of the Free World. Should the leader fail to meet these responsibilities how shall we expect the lesser nations to remain free or to main tain faith in our leadership? Our foreign and domestic policies should be shaped with that fact In mind. Before we exult In our power and leadership, let's make sure ve are peeping faith with the re sponsibilities which that leader ship brings. Use Of Mote Eggs Food Expert Says Now chat eggs are becoming more and more plentiful, why not use more eggs in p; c paring meals for- your family? "Eggs are one of our most nutritious foods," says Jewell Fessenden, State College Extension Nutritionist, "because they contain complete protein and are high in the B complex vitamins and iron." Eggs can be used in preparing various salads, in making cro quettes, and in deep fat frying. Deviled eggs, of course, are good any time, and shouldn't be con sidered just "picnic food." When yoU hard boil eggs, it's hard to prevent the formation of that dark green layer betw**' the yolk and the white. Actually this darkening Is completely harmless, but it is unattractive and not particularly appetizing. Maybe you've wondered Just what causes this dark ring to form and what you can do to prevent It. Actually Its a deposit of ferrous sulphide that forms as the sulfur in the egg white and the iron in the yolk unite during the cooking process. There are a number of ways that you can prevent the forma tion of this dark green ring: 1. Use fresh eggs; In the fresh egg the sulfur in the white Is more stable and will stay in the outer portion of the egg. 2. Cook the egg at a low tem perature: If the egg is cooked slowly on low, there will be less force to drive the sulfur in to ward the yolk. 3. Cook the egg for the shortest length of time ? just until the yolk and white are firm. Pro ? longed heat yvlll d^ive the sulfur of the white, toward the center of the egg, '4. Plunge the eggs in cold wa- . ter immediately after cooking. This forces the sulfur toward the outside of the egg.
