SECTION two The Roundup BY WILBORNE HARELL Today—Now that vacation time is not too far off for some of us, this observation is pertinent: Some people force themselves to have a good time. They act as though they ARE going to have a good time—even if it kills them! . . , And sometimes it does . . . Give the average per son a holiday, and he • thinks he is obligated to do something strenuous, even spectacular, just HIHHEU to prove he’s having a good time. He must take a trip, or go fish ing or hunting, or take a jaunt to the mountains or seashore, or join in a lot of games. Actually he works harder at playing tharr he did at working . . . But he’s not kidding himself or anyone else. He knows, deep down, es pecially if he is not as young as | Cotton To Receive State Recognition One of North Carolina’s fore most crops cotton will get its just recognition this week.

Let’s stop kill ing ourselves enjoying ourselves. Random thought: Wonder what really happened to Melvin West, the disc-jockey who attempted to sail an open boat from Wilming ton to Bermuda ... A tragic end ind to a dream. But when one has a dream that insistently bec kons, it must be followed to the bitter end. There is no other way. Yesterday—The Western story is a distinctive and unique contri bution to the literature of Ameri ca. The Western story IS the story of America, the story of a people, and how they rose to greatness. The Western story is the story of growth how a few tiny colonies, by pushing ever Westward, expanded into a nation of might and wealth and pow er. There are few writers who have not attempted to write a Western story; so many have tion in the observance of Nation al Cotton Week, May 19-24.” The event, sponsored in this state by the North Carolina Cot ton Promotion Association, Inc., is designed to increase public awareness of the cotton industry and to encourage a greater use of the products of that industry, ac cording to F. H. Heidelberg, exec utive vice president of the asso ciation. Heidelberg points out that cot ton gives employment to more people than any other industry in North Carolina. It is grown on more than 82,000 farms on which there are around 440,000 people. It also gives employment in its cotton spinning, weaving and fin ishing plants to more than half of the total manufacturing force in North Carolina. More than 2,200,000 bales of cotton are con sumed each year by the spinning mills of the state. But cotton is of just as vital economic importance to allied businessess that service produc ers of cotton. These include the banking industry; manufactur ers and distributors of fertiliz ers, insecticides, farm equipment, tractor fuel and chemicals. Truck ing firms, railroads, retail mer chants and hardware firms also benefit from the production and movement of this crop. THREE CHOWAN STUDENTS AMONG ECC GRADUATES Exercises marking the Forty ninth Annual Commencement at East Carolina College were held Sunday, May 18, in Memorial Gymnasium on the East Carolina campus, before an audience of more than 3,200 people. President John D. Messick of the college presided over the ceremonies at which time degrees were conferred upon 774 seniors and graduate students. Among those receiving degrees at the exercises were: Maie Pryce Asbell, Hazel Leary Chappell* and Shirley Corine Harrell of Eden ton. tried they have almost succeeded in reducing the medium to trite ness. But the real Western tale is epic in scope, and we are for tunate that such writers as Zane Grey, Max Brand, Walt Coburn and many others have given their talents to the Western story . . . Other forms of literature arise, but the Western story will live as long as America lives. Tomonow —As I write this, Rus sia has orbited a one-and-a-half ton Sputnik, the French govern ment is in danger of falling, there is unrest in Lebanon and Vice President Nixon has just return ed from an ill-starred tour of South America, where it appears there is little good will for the United States. Who knows what tomorrow may bring. Within hours or minutes after this is written every word here set dowr may be pushed aside by other more important or disturbing events. Uncertainty is the key note of the times, and makes timeliness a major problem for a columnist. f \ | Vets* Question Box! Q—ls it possible to take on the-job training outside the United States under the Korean GI Bill? I would like to take my training in France. A—No. Under the law, for eign GI training may be taken only in institutions of higher learning. Further, courses must be approved by VA. Q—My husband was killed in active service in March, 1947 after the fighting in World War II had ended but before the war was officially declared at an end for purposes of VA benefits. Would my daughter be eligible for War Orphans schooling? A—No. The War Orphans Ed ucation law specifies that for World War II veterans, death or disability must, have occurred be tween December 7, 1941, and De cember 31, 1946. Since your hus band’s death occurred after the latter date, your daughter would not be eligible for the schooling benefits. Special May Sale.... Rock Maple.... Early American LIVING ROOM.. BEDROOM..

RIDING WITH THE COLONIALS By JIM NASH This was a busy week for the Colonials as almost every after noon found them working out at Hicks Field until darkness obs cured the ball. Saturday at one thirty the “A” and “B” squads squared off in an exhibition game that wound up with a score of 10-8, the “B” squad on top. In Vote For W. W.

Byrum, Jr. the game we saw a home run by Gene Taylor and several extra : base raps of the two base and three Dase variety. The pitching was mighty im pressive for both squads in as much each pitcher pitched only j three innings before giving way to a successor. The fielding wmmk looks good with replacements for each position about equal. Edgar Ro|erson looks like a good prospect to watch in the hitting department. With his weight behind the ball, in almost any park except Hicks Field, home runs should come easy. Hicks Field has a right field wall almost four hundred and fifty feet from home plate. Edgar bats left making a home run in the home park from that standpoint almost difficult even for him. As it is, Edgar will have to settle for triples down the right field line. He had a triple Saturday in that spot. Season tickets are now avail able and are going fast. For only three dollars you get to see six teen games or at that rate ten games are free.
