It was a great team victory when
the New Bern High school Bears
won their first Northeastern Con
ference wrestling crown last week.
When you can come up with seven
champions in the 12 matches com
prising the finals, there’s simply
no stopping you.
However, the top victory doesn’t
belong to the grapplers them
selves, but to Coach Sam Arbes. He
had to start from scratch in selling
the sport to school officials and
athletes, so its successful promo
tion here in two short years was
something for which Sam deserves
all the credit.
Far too many fans are yet to see
the Bruin wrestlers in action.
There who have attended the
matches, and particularly those
who were on hand fpr the Confer
ence tournament, were rewarded
with plenty of exciting action.
Like track, you can look for
wrestling to come into its own at

New Bern High from here on out.
The same thing applies to other
towns in the Northeastern Confer
ence. Greenville has made great
strides, and it’s a foregone con
clusion that Washington and Kins
ton won’t be content with their
poor showing in the championship
matches here.
Elizabeth City didn’t have a team
this season, but the fact that the
school sent five wrestlers to the
tournament is a clear indication
that the Yellow Jackets are plan
ning to go all out for the sporf.
New Bern hasn’t fared too well
against Washington and Kinston
in athletic combat for quite some
time, so local fans got a real kick
out of seeing the Bruins make
wrestlers from both towns bite the
dust. Beating Greenville’s defend
ing champs was actually less grati
fying.
As mentioned before in this
column, track and wrestling are
excellent scholastic sports, because
size or lack of it won’t deprive a
youngster of a chance to excel.
With weights for wrestlers ranging
from 98 pounds to the unlimited
class in Northeastern Conference
competition, every kid has a
chance to be a champion.
STILL REMEMBERED —
When sports fans enter the
William Neal Reynolds Coli
seum at N. C. State college
in Raleigh, they come face to
face with a large portrait of
the late Charles G. (Chick)
Doak. Beloved coach of the
State baseball team for many
years, he is recalled better
here as manager of the New
Bern Bears when the Coastal
Plain was a semi-pro loop.

We sympathize with others be
cause, we have known the same
problems. Can we ever understand
until we have been there our
selves? “I sat where they sat,” said
the prophet. (Ezekiel 3:15) It is sur
prising how different a thing looks
to lis when we are in the same
fix: '■ - . ^ -.iv.
The night of the great snow
storm there were five ears stalled
on the hill ahead of me when
drove up. One man, had left his
car and gone fdrward to push the
ear up front. “We are trying to
help each other get up the hill,”
he said to me. It all seemed pretty
useless and hopeless to me. The
fresh snow was still falling fast.
The soft snow on the hard sleet
base gave a surface as slippery
as grease on glass.
“Maybe, with my chains,”
thought, “I could go on into town
and send a wrecker to pull them
up the hill and get that car out of
the ditch. How smart I had been to
get chains, a shovel, and a flash
light before starting for home.”
Before driving around the stalled
cars, through the nine-inch snow,
and up the slick hill, I checked on
my chains. The one on the right
rear was gone—broken off and lost!
I was in the same fix! I could not
get up the hill either!
Suddenly the suggestion that we
help each other up the hill seemed
not useless and hopeless, but prac
tical and the only hope at all. So
we called all the six drivers to
gether. With the shovel we got
sand. Five men pushed. In about
two hours all six cars were up the
hill and started on their way. It
is strange how wise cooperation
suddenly seems when we need a
share of the benefits.

That old story says, “But a cer
tain Samaritan, as he journeyed,
came where he was; and when he
saw him, he was moved with-com
passion, and came to him, and
bound up his wounds, pouring on
them oil and wine.” (Luke 10:33,34)
The priest and the Levite were not
moved with compassion. They had
never been in a bad fix on the side
of the road. They did not under
stand. Somewhere that Samaritan
had learned sympathy by enduring
suffering.
HOOVER HONORED
New York—Former President
Herbert Hoover was honored re
cently “for outstanding service in
advancing the American way of
life.”
The award, a small bronze stat
uette of a Minute Man, was given
to Hoover, 84, by the Conference
of Patriotic and Historical Socie
ties. The group consists of thirteen
organizations.
'I'M IT' WINS
Madison, Wis. — Young Robert
Bockhop made no mistake when he
named his choice Berkshire hog
“I’m It.”
“I’m It” was chosen the grand
champion barrow* at the Southern
Wisconsin Junior Live Stock Ex
position. And Robert received a
$711 check for the auction sale of
his 237-pound hog. That’s $3 a
pound.
People who are always at v:ar
with themselves would be glad* t»
see a flag of truce.
No person was ever honored
for what he received. Honor has
been the reward for what he gave.
—Calvin Coolidge.
