Squat ting, on your heels on the deck be fore a pile of oysters, shucking and eating, was to know a feast fit for a king. Fresh out of the shell, still in its natural-juices, no oyster tasted better. Everything today is packaged, bottled or can .ned. Today’s washed-out oyster is a pale imitation of the oysters of yesterday right off the boats. Yesterday—l have done consider able research on the Old West and ‘have examined hundreds of pho tographs of personalities an'd places. Believing that the West was a colorful and romantic place, time and era, I ivas unprepared for the drabness and-monotony of what I saw. To a' certain extent, it was a disillusioning experience All the subjects x)f these photos wore un-Westem attire, by all •modem standards.. It was the ad vent of the Old West in show bus iness which began with the early Wild West Shows, modern rodeos, books, movies and TV that is re sponsible for introducing the snappy, colorful Western cos tumes seen today. Many old-tim ers wouldn't have been caught dead in the “Western” outfit of a movie cowbov. What cbuld be more un-Western than a round brim hat, a celluloid collar and a frock coat? Wyatt Earp often dressed in this fashion. A photo taken shortly ' before his death pictures Earp more as a dignified business or professional man than a Western marshal and gunfight er. i Tomorrow— “ Quick, mama, have you got a quarter for the TV? Roy Rogers is coming on—litirrv. mama, give us a quarter!” And. believe me, mama Better have a quarter or she’ll hear plenty from the small fry ... Is that an ac curate picture of the future of television? If the proponents of “pay as you view” have their way, it is. There is much contro versy, pro and con, and many fac tors that enter into the situation The entire entertainment world, including movies, is affected: and if pay TV is waiting for us tomor row, one of its decided advan tages will be to bring first-run movies right in our own homes The movies will be no farther away than our TV set. Without question, television is at the cross roads. _ / One Way Os Doing It The Waiter—We have nice braised ox tails and some fine broiled beef tongue today, sir. The Customer—Tn spite of the high cost, you manage to make both ends meet, eh? 1 t) 1 S 18 the Law Ey ROBERT E. LEE (For the N. C. Bar Association) Parking Lots John Doe operated a parking: lot. He charged by the hour for the privilege of parking automo biles in it. His customers were not required to hand over the keys of their cars to Doe or any of his attendants. The attendants merely collected the fees and at times designated suitable places j in which to park. The drivers of the cars did their own parking, locking them or not as they wish- j ed. One morning Mary Smith narked bey car in the lot. When she returned several hours later it! was not there. Neither Doe nor| hiss attendants could explain its disappearance. Several weeks la- j er it was discovered by police in a neighboring state on a lone- j 'v highway, abandoned and wrecked. Can Mary Smith re •ovor anything from John Doe? | The courts of the different tates are somewhat at variance n the solving of problems which esult when an automobile owner aarks his car on a “parking lot.” 'lso. there are infinite variations : n the methods of conducting a larking lot business. Most of the courts in the dis- j 'erent states, including North "arolina, solve the problem by; 'irst determining the legal rela-j lion existing between the car iwner and the parking lot owner.; Depending upon the facts of the 1 Melrose RARE | l I MELROSf* 1 IllPiil ' \ mm SL*x*~!!!!233 A K,. rrnUMURST. 00- uM*>*- *» * .

Y. particular case, any one of the following legal relationships rriay be created: licensor-licensee, bail or-bailee, and lessor-lessee. The facts of the particular prob lem would seem to indicate that the relation of licensor and licen see has been created. As a conse quence, Mary Smith cannot re cover any damages from John Doe. The fact that the key to the car was not*required to be handed to the parking lot operator or one of his attendants is important. The possession and control of the car was never delivered to the porking lot operator, thereby cre ating a bailment. Mary Smith acquired merely a license, a pvivi j lege to use the land of John Do* for parking purposes. Since Johr Doe never acquired the legal pos session and control of the car. he is not responsible for its theft The fact he might have exerciser’ greater care and watchfulness and have prevented the theft is im material. If John Doe had required hi 1 customers to surrender the key to their automobiles or to leavr them in their automobiles, so tha' he or his employee could rail them at any place of his choos ing and move them from time t' time during the day as occasion might require, there would hnvr been created the legal relatiori ship of bailor and bailee. Mar Smith would be the bailor an John Doe be the bailee. Job' Doe. as bailee, would be in pos session and control of the autr mobile. The law imposes on a naid bail ee the duty to exercise ordinal" l care in respect to the pro pert v i’ his exclusive possession. A fail lire on his part to do so is negli gence. If a parking lot operator rent to a person bv the month a desig nated spac° for his exclusive use there wou'd be created the rela tionship of land-lord and tenant A landlord is not responsible fo thefts from land he has leased tr a tenant. TRY A hERAI.n CI.AVsrFTFD Weekly Devotional Column By JAMES MaciusJMZlK “How Red is the Federal Coun cil of Churches?” This is the ti tle of a vicious and scurrilous dia- > tribe sent (anonymously, of: course) to several Protestant families in our community this past week, together with a note to the effect that the pastors of Edenton are members of the Fed-! eral Council, and, therefore, Reds ! I can say with assurance that no minister in Edenton is a mem ber of the Federal Council of Churches. In fact, I can say with assurance that no one anywhere 1 is a member of the Federal Coun cil of Churches—there is no such organization. The Federal Coun cil of Churches disbanded in 1951! : Next, I suppose, we’ll be receiv ing pamphlets urging us to vote !; for Herbert Hoover. The person who does not have the courage to sign his name to his opinions s a coward; twice a coward is' the person who attacks an organi zation that is no longer able to j defend itself. Ostensibly the pamphlet was written by one Verne P. Kaub if Madison, Wisconsin. The real nithor of it, homever, is Gerald i Winrod of Wichita, Kansas, a : iersonal friend of Hitler who op posed America’s entry into World ! •Var 11. In 1944 Winrod was im prisoned,. for sedition because of j his attempts to sabotage the American war effort. When the federal Council of Churches was ending chaplains to the battle "ront. providing the boys with Bi- ; lies,, sponsoring service centers I ■nd sending relief supplies to the ] mpoverished oeople of conquer- j d lands the author of “How Red j ’s The Federal Council" was ad •ising Americans not to support : ho war effort. W’hen I was..lv 'ng in a Belgian hospital recover ing from wounds received in hat- 1 ‘le, the author of this pamphlet was sitting in an American pris an serving time as a traitor to his! -ountrv. This is the man who] wrote “How Red Is The Fedora’' Council of Churches.” How Red IS the Federal Conn ■il of Churches? Or, rather, How i Red WAS the Federal Council o! I Churches?

C. builds his case on the discredited “guilt by association” system. With this line of reasoning you can prove anything: for example, (1) the Pope believes that Jesus is the Son of God. (2) Southern Baptists believe that Jesus is the Son of God. (3) Therefore, the; Pope is a Southern Baptist. Or, better yet, (1) Elephants havej gray hair. (2) Grandpa has gray* hair. (3) Therefore, grandpa is an elephant. But our American -Hitler does not even use the guilt by associa tion method honestly. For exam ple. Dr..

Whatever his , faults, Dr. VanDusen, like the , other leaders and members of the ! Federal Council of Churches, were ] and are respectable, loyal, intel ,; ligent, patriotic Americans, which is more than I can say for some l of their critics. They represented all shades of political opinion: some were conservative, others liberal. The Federal Council had its faults, but it is dead now. May it rest in peace. !
