• Any person in public office is at one time
|or another the target of criticism and more
times than not this criticism is not of a con
structive nature. So it is only natural that
members of the Edentcm School Trustees have
been and are now being criticized for certain
activities in connection with the operation of
Edenton schools.
However, when criticism is felt necessary,
it is far better to bring it out in the open
rather than for it to continue from one person
to another for, like gossip, it is of a cancer
ous nature and finally what could be con
structive criticism develops into unfair accu
sations. a great portion of which are untrue,
unfounded and unwarranted.
Edenton’s Parent-Teacher Association is to
be commended upon its arrangement for a pan
el discussion in connection with its meeting
Tuesday night when members of the School
Trustees gathered to answer a barrage of
questions which apparently have been troub
ling local minds for some time. So far as
The Herald is able to gather, for the most
part, satisfactory answers were given, so that
. the meeting was very interesting and informa-
I tive, as well as harmonious.
The school trustees, like most people in
public office (there are some exceptions, of
course), are interested in discharging their
duties in the best interest of educating chil
dren They naturally meet with some vex
ing problems and, being human, they are sub
ject to make some mistakes. But if and when
mistakes are made or if school operation can
he improved, they will, or should, welcome
suggestions and after serious and thoughtful
consideration with their critics reach a de
cision.
Meetings like the one held Tuesday night
are beneficial not only for the school trustees,
or any ether group of public officials, but al
so for those who sometimes are too prone to
offer criticism when all of the facts and cir
cumstances are not fully known.
The Failures of Communism
What has communism accomplished? A
terse ,and compelling answer to that question
is provided by the distinguished historian (and
teacher Russell Kirk, in his new book. “The
American Cause”, which the Chicago firm of
Regnerv has published.
Mr. Kirk states: “Although the Commun
ists have preached brotherhood, in practice
they have murdered many millions of innocent
people. Although the Communists have prais
ed absolute equality they have established ab
solute despotism. Although the Communists
have aped Christian charity in words, they
hav£ resorted to theft and confiscation in ac
tuality. Although the Communists have
promised Utopia, they have delivered whole
nations to mortal torment. Although they
have talked unendingly of peace, they have
thriven by war.”
Communism is a philosophy of pure ma
terialism. Yet Communism in practice has
miserably failed to better the material living
standards of the people. An article in U. S.
News and World Repcrt tells this story'. It
takes a Russian factory worker 306 hours
and 35 minutes to earn enough money to buy
himself a suit—the American factory worker
, can earn the suit in 22 diours and 9 minutes.
It takes that Russian worker 19 minutes to
• earn the price of a cake of soap, as against
3 minutes for the American. It takes the
Russian 3 hours and 23 minutes to make
enough to buy a pound of butter; in our sac- |
tories the figure is 21 minutes. So it goes, I
down the roster of practically everything in
ordinary use.
In terms of human values and betterment,
Cofnmunism has been not only a failure but
a ruthless despoiler. '
So many people are so worried about the
future that they overlook the tasks of the
present. ft

One of The Herald subscribers last week
sent me a rather unique check, but the Peoples
Bank & Trust Company couldn’t cash it.
However, the letter contained another check
for $2.50 for a year’s subscription, so that
I’m holding on to the one check to present St.
Peter if and when I arrive at the Pearly Gates.
If he cashes the check I’ll not have to worry
any more about cashing checks nor any of the
trials and tribulations which we humans must
intend with. Here’s about the way the
:heck looks: t

Here’s one of the many who enjoyed and
became more enlightened cn scrrfe school mat
ters at the PTA meeting Tuesday night. A lot
of people braved the elements to attend the
meeting where a lot of pertinent school ques
tions were presented and answered. One of
the questions asked was: “How does it hap
pen that members of the school trustees do
not have children in school,” Well two of ’em,
Bill Harry and Gus Hughes, have children in
school now. John Holmes, Mrs. Clarence
Leary, Joe Conger, Philip McMullan and
Thomas Chears all have had children attend
the Edenton schcol. So maybe Philip Mc-
Mullan was right when he replied “We’re too
old.” Anyway, the panel discussion was very
helpful and no doubt straightened out some
people who have been very critical of the
school trustees. More can be accomplished
by getting together and ironing out matters
than by criticism expressed on the street cor
e.r which, going from one to another, is some
what like a snowball adding to and twisting as
it rolls along.

Oscar Duncan recently returned from a trip
to Florida and brought back an overgrown
cigar for me. The thing is over 10 inches
long and as thick as an old-time country saus
age. I ’ll need a support to hold it in* my
mouth—if I smoke it, for I don’t know what*s
inside. It might be filled with some of those
Florida oranges and grapefruit which were
damaged in the freezing Florida weather.
o
Then my friend DeWitt C. Cooper, a Her
ald subscriber living in Richmond. Indiana,
sent me a package of Indiana cigars. These
are not as large as the cigar Duncan gave me
and will no doubt be smoked up before" I can
get through with the Florida monster. The
“baby*’ cigars have not been turning up late
ly—but then there's a depression, recession,
dejection, forgetsion or something like that on
now, yoiK.know. ...... j
Uied M*B«stagea a wewer roast tojfrflr
business meeting Monday night and the hot
dogs fared common. This time Gus Bunch
didn’t forget and eat supper before going to
the lodge. I quit keeping tabs on him when
he neared the dozen mark, but Thomas Perry
and Kenneth Worrell were either even with
Gus or not far behind. Anyway, the Red Men
ate hot dogs so long that the meeting was half
hour late.
o
Here’s one who attended the open installa
tion of Eastern Star officers Monday night
(yep, I made two meetings). The gals were
all diked out in beautiful evening dresses, so
that when I reached the door to the lodge
room I near about thought I was attending
a wedding. And then to think of it, I had
to eat refreshments just after leaving the hot
dog massacre at the Red Men meeting.
o
The Board of Chowan County Commission
ers will not look the same after the forthcom
ing election, for one member will be conspicu
ous by his absence. Joe Webb has definitely
stated that he will not be a candidate for ra*
election and he don’t intend his
mind. He’s been on the Board kince 1920, a
period cf 38 years, which adnally is long
enough to expect any man to serve his coun
ty. He can retire with the satisfaction of a
“jfib WeH done”, but he’ll be missed on the
Board.
o
Some time back I was in the company of
a woman wearing a large diamond ring. Ask
ing about tire ring, a friend repKed: “Proba
bly it wasn’t exactly what her uncle had in
mind when he left her the money for a stone
commemorating his memory.”

Explorer Scouts
Discuss Plans
Newly organized Explorer
Scout Post 156 of Edenton held
its second business meeting on
Tuesday night with Jack Over
man, senior crew leader, presid
ing.
The meeting was mainly devot
ed to committees and planning
for the first quarter of operation.
The vocation committee, whose
job is to earn money, and which
is headed by Alex Kehayes, was
appointed to carry out a napkin
sale. The service committee,
headed by Charles Irwin, was in
structed to plan a complete clean
up of the Scout Cabin. The so
cial committee, with Joe Campen
as chairman, was told to have a
hayride for the Post. The com
mittees plan these projects and
the Post carries them olit.
Explorer manuals were distrib
uted to the members and every
one ran over the Explorer ranks.
