Friday, September 13, 1963 THE NEW BERN MIRROR. NEW BERN, N. C. Page Five Every regular reader of The Mirror knows that we have published quite a few editor ials, and ads at our own ex pense, urging motorists to drive with extra special care lor the sake of children In their path.

Lewis Day Phone ME 7-3066 Night Phone ME 74701 reminders, especially during the school year, are worth while, It they prevent so much as a single tragedy, be It major or minor—and of course we’ll never know—they will have served their purpose. However, our concern doesn’t end there. What disturbs us just as much as reckless motor ists are reckless youngsters on bicycles, who Invite disaster. Increasingly, they seem to show little regard for the danger existing on our busy streets. We have heard many com plaints from motorists, and the complaints are justified. Time and again, local children nar rowly escape death or serious Injury when they, not the motorist are at fault. Usually, the child isn’t frightened by the occurrence, while the driver involved Is literally scared out of his or her wits. Those of you who have had the unpleasant exper ience know what we mean. And so to every parent whose child has a bicycle, or will eventually have one, we sug gest a strong safety program for the younger members of your family. Harp on careful bike riding, and don’t hesitate to punish your offspring when they ignore your warnings. If you see someone else’s child riding dangerously, and recognize the youngster at fault, report the matter to his parents. If they resent your doing so, they won’t measure up as the right kind of mothers and fathers. A reckless child not only endangers his own life and limbs, but endangers the lives of motorists who may collide with another automobile In a frantic effort to avoid the dar ing juvenile.

Only the lowly pig, better be haved than some of the humans who belittle him, gets treated with utter disdain and dislike. Remind us to say, “Good morning,” to the next live pig we meet. DIXON BROS. NURSERY Glenburnie GROWERS OF FINE TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS Ask any New Bern housewife what, In her opinion. Is the cooking odor that lingers longest In a house, and you’ll probably get one of two answers. A general poll would show fish and collards (not cooked together, of course) leading by a wide margin. But, If you want our opinion, the kitchen odor that travels the greatest distance is un doubtedly the splendid aroma of bacon frying in an iron skillet. Arise early, or even stay In bed, and you can easily Iden tify the neighboring homes where bacon is on the stove. One of the most ridiculous but enterUdning TV commer cials to ever flash on our screen is the one displaying a pig exhibiting joy because he is—or part ofhim—destined to become a certain brand of bacon. If you were a pig, basking In the sun and feasting on shelled corn, would you be happily con templating such a lute? Unfortunately, and this ap plies to a lot of humans too, a pig never reaches high es teem until after he Is dead. Folks who wouldn’t get near him when he Is wading around In the mud of an often 111-kept sty are the first to wax enthusiastic over the prospect of coming Into close proximity with him when he Is deceased. Considering what’s In store for him In due season, wouldn’t It be fairer If we mortals honor ed him with respect, If not downright affection? Epitaphs are rather futile. Besides the nearest thing to an epitaph that a pig ever gets Is a twitch of the nostrils In glorious antic ipation, and a smack of appre ciation as the first crunchyblte For the best in wheel balancing, wheel Bhgnment, motor tune-up> brake, generator, starter repairs, Harvey Moore.
