GASKILL McDANIEL Editor and Publisher SOBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year S2.50 Second Clast Pottage Paid at New Bern, N C. 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 post office, and a lot of other places, but we aren’t at all happy about it. Never, anywhere else, do the nunutes 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 concern for the folks who are standing in line behind you. It isn’t always that we’re in a hurry, or suffering from aching 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 uppeicut, al though a head as hard as that would probably require not one but two good pokes on the jaw. Rudeness while delayed in line isn’t restricted to mortals who happen to be standing up. As a matter of fact, motorists are even more insulting in their de mands for special privileges. That’s because an auto mobile is something of a haven, and offers a measure of protection from the party you are insulting. All of us are familiar with the arrogant individual who toots his horn with the slightest provocation, or with no provocation 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 committ^ an unpardonable crime. Alas, some of us happen to be that arrogant and inconsiderate individual, at least part of the time. HAVING INSURANCE PROBLEMS?
