New Bc»m PuLiic Library The NEW BERN ^ED WEEKLY St Per Copy VOLUME 7 NEW BERN, N. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1965 NUMBER 44 There’s only one New Bern In the entire United States, but you’ll find a Newbern in Alabama, Tennessee and Virginia, and a Newberne in West Virginia. A careful count by The Mi rror reveals no less than 275 towns in America that start their names with the word New, Least attractive handle of the lot, in times like these, belongs to New Russia, N. Y, Most of us think of Connecticut’s Coast Guard Academy site when someone says New London, but don’t disregard the New Londons in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, Our investigation turned up New Berlins in Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania can lay claim to a New Paris. Traveling through Illinois and Ohio, you’re apt to find your self in aNew Atlens, and Indiana boasts of two Biblical sounding towns, New Palestine and New Lebanon. New York and Ohio also have New Lebanons. Maine contributes a New Sweden to the list. New York a New Scotland, Minnesota a New Prague, and Missouri a New Madrid. Iowa and Ohio each haveja.j!lew„Yiehn(t, There, are New Baltlmores in Michigan, New York and Pennsylanla. Not all of the New towns are named for countries and cities of note. You can enter a New Era in Michigan, find New Hope in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and enjoy New Harmony in Indiana and Utah. For some reason the city of Albany, N. Y,, has had its name spread generously around. Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Ohio and Pennsylvania all have a New Albany in their midst. Added, of course, to towns that use NEW as a separate word in their name are hundreds of others that combine it with another word such as Newark, N. J. It’s no secret that social climbers are willing to endure almost anything (snubs Included) to get above their raising. Now, from what we hear, a lot of foolishly vain mortals in Washington and way points are regarding the common cold (and common is the perfect adjective) as a status symbol. Perhaps it’s rude to remind those who display their Johnson-type sniffles and hoarseness like a coat of arms that monkeys as well as Pres idents and Governors catch colds. The only difference is that monkeys don’t get head lines. If you still insist on being uppity about your ailment, the technical name for it is coryza. The disease is hardly exclusive, seeing as how records show that as many as 20 million Americans are apt to have colds at the same time during a typical year. To put it another way, statistics indicate that 90 per cent of the human inhabitants of the United States have at least one cold a year, and 50 percent have several. Inaugural symptoms notwithstanding, there ain’t much social status (Continued on page 3) «ii.v- tJf- \ . *■ •' ' ,’! •‘Vi, 'i, A' WHEN YA GOTTA GO—^Mission accomplished, Alder- white stuff.
