GASKiLL McDaniel -Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $2.50 Six Months $1.25 Entered as second-class mall at New Bern April 4, 1958, unJIer the act of March 3, 1879. DESERVED PUNISHMENT Few tears should be shed by the general public for two Marines and two civilians who drew heavy fines and sus^endec sentences in Craven Recorders Court for unlawful hunting ai night in the Ernul section. There’s nothing sporting about firelighting deer. It doesn’. take much skill or ingenuity to slaughter three bucks and a doe that have been blinded and confused by a sudden beam of light in their startled eyes. As if this wasn’t bad enough, the chief offender in this instance was not only firelighting, but hunting out of season vvithout a license. Killing a doe—unlawful at any time, empha sized his total disregard for rules and regulations that apply to everyone who sets out with a gun in quest of game. Our guess is that the deer mowed down by the four ad mitted offenders were easy pickings. Their wanton act,is particularly repulsive to the editor of The Mirror, because we can recall seeing on one occasion at least a score of deer feeding an on open field at night in the Havelock area. They made no effort to flee when headlights of the car in which we were riding were trained upon them. As unsus pecting as cows grazing in a pasture, they could have been slain wholesale. Fortunately, there wasn’t any danger of that from occupants of this automobile. We weren’t interested in having a massacre. No one should resent firelighting more deeply than hunt ers who stay within the bounds of the law. Conservation of game, aside from the aspects of sportsmanship and fair play, is a must if this form of recreation is to survive for those who like the great outdoors. Wildlife authorities did a good job in apprehending the firelighters and bringing them to the bar of justice. We wish them further success whenever any man with a gun stoops to this sort of thing qn some future night. EVERYBODY HATES THEM One of the things that all New Bernians share a hearty dislike for is this business of waiting in line. We have to do it at the bank, the postoffice, and a lot of other places, but we aren’t at all happy about it. Never, anywhere else, do the minutes pass as slowly and your patience wear threadbare as quickly. Standing back of the other fellow while he gets waited on is immediately frustrating, and frustration mounts into a state of infuriation if he takes longer than you think he ought to. Likely as not, you’ll consume twice as much time yourself when you finally arrive at the window, and show even less con cern for the folks who are standing in line behind you. ^ It isn’t always that we’re in a hurry, or suffering from ach ing feet. The simple unadulterated truth is we resent having to wait our turn. Most of us have enough sense and enough decency to keep this inner churning to ourselves, although a close observer is apt to read it on our faces. A few sorry samples of humanity will crash the line, if they think they can get by with it. Such people deserve to be floored with a stiff upperj:;ut, although a head as hard as that would probably require not one but two good pokes on the jaw. Rudeness while delayed in a line isn’t restricted to mortals who happen to be standing up. As a matter of fact, motorists are even more insulting in their demands for special privileges, fers a measure of protection from the fellow mortal you are That’s because an automobile is something of a haven, and of- insulting. All of us are familiar with the crummy character who toots his horn at the slightest provocation, or with no provoca- tion at all. If you stop momentarily, or don’t step on the gas as the light is turning green he acts for all the world like you’ve committed an unforgiveable crime.

As long as we’re remembered, and cherished by a friend; The songs we sing, our laughter, will live beyond the grave. The words we speak, the deeds we do, some heart is apt to save. There is no death, the memory of a smile Is never buried with us, and perhaps a little child Who passed your way, one busy day, will pleasantly recall A fleeting look or hasty phrase, long after growing tall. There is no death, the earth may claim its own. But others reap the happiness that you and I have sown. And in their rhythmic heart beat, the heart throbs we once knew May echo oh so softly, old thoughts may rendezvous And bless the glowing presence with heirlooms from the past. Trifles, once as light as air, surprisingly they last. Can’t you sorta feel them, hovering in our town? When the busy day is done, and the night comes down? Memories on tree-shaded streets, along the river shore, And in the red brick schoolhouse, with carved and battered door. Memories in your neighborhood—the church where you were wed. Memories most everywhere—who dares to say they’re dead? There is no death, no final bitter end, As long as we’re remembered, and cherished by a friend. —JGMcD. rel rum, 100 lbs. sugar.
