EUII V/KIAL
(Continued frotn page 8 section A)
done again.” It should
bring pride to those who
gave out any amount
with the knowledge that
here is still a generous
people who will not be
fooled by foolish talk and
who will not accept one
example to prove the
rule. Our folks are
learning fast.
The more we talk to
the boys in service on
furlough and the more
we read their letters the
more we realize that they
are learning fast too.
When they come back
home, and we are hoping
and praying our list
grows no more, we who
are waiting here might
just as well get ourselves
prepared to welcome
back grown men instead
of boys, men who have
seen most of life and
part of death. It is up
to us to try to keep up
with them. Men who
have faced death are not
afraid of life and will not
be fooled by back-slap
ping hypocrites. Our
hope for the future rests
with their extra sense to
smell rats. They are do
ing a good job at that
now.
Mathematics, that
bug-aboo which has kept
many a boy from realiz
ing his ambition to be a
navigator on a bomber,
a gunner sergeant in the
artillery or a deck officer
on a battleship, is rear
ing its ugly head in Ro
anoke Rapids. In this
modern, scientific age,
with the emphasis on the
worth of technicians,
plumbers, carpenters and
what have you, a person
weak in arithmetic, alge
bra and geometry is, ap
parently, weak in one of
the most important sub
jects and fundamentals
of life itself. There are
many who now say
it was too little, too late.
But if math is so import
ant in this war and these
I . • , ...
tunes, pernaps it is not
too late to prepare for a
future which will cer
tainly call for bigger dos
es of the same medicine.
One of the few Boards
which gives us a financial
statement of any kind is
the ABC Board which
sends us one to be print
ed at our own expense
which is too expensive
for any tabulated form.
The City Board of Com
missioners and the Coun
ty Board of Commission
ers pay for the set-up of
their complicated finan
cial reports. We are go
ing to check up on other
boards which handle pub
lic funds and see just
what the score is.
Financial statements
are right confusing to
most of us. But they do
have just enough in them
to set a lot of folks won
dering about one or more
items. In the ABC state
ment is this item: For
Law Enforcement (July
August, September) $3,
282.27. For a year that
would add up to at least
$13,129.08. The state
ment does not say who
gets this Thirteen Thou
sand Dollars a year.
Where has it been going
all these years ? Are the
citizens and taxpayers of
Halifax County entitled
to know?
