A LIFT FOR TODAY it I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God. Hosea 2.23. PEOPLE IN every land belong to God. and we have a part in the work of redeeming this world foriHim. Do we accept this challenge? Help us. Merciful One. to labor in Thy harvest fields in a spirit of love and gratitude that many may be redeemed. Shouldering A Bigger Job The* National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis the March of Dimes organization—has changed its name and announced an expanded health pro gram. Hereafter it will be called The National Foun dation. It will tackle a far bigger job than polio. Here is The National' Foundation’s new concept: It will become “an organized voluntary force in the fields' of medical research, patient care and professional education, with specific initial goals, but flexible enough to meet new health problems as they arise.” Research will be at the heart of this new con cept. It will expand its virus-disease explora tions, and extend investigations into disorders of the central nervous system. But if scientists find new leads for solving other human afflictions, they will be encouraged to pursue them. To polio, The National Foundation will now add the No. 1 U. S. crippler— arthritis —and birth defects, the major childhood health problem. It will help train more medical workers —doc- tors, researchers, nurses, therapists, medical social Workers —sorely needed to send the disabled back to their homes and jobs. This news, coming from the health organization that" gave us the Salk vaccine against paralytic polio, will bring hope to millions of sufferers. Arthritis tortures anywhere from 11 to 30 million people in the U. S. Their loss in working hours and income runs into billions of dollars. As for birth defects, some 250,000 American babies are borp c each year mal-formed. So when The National Foundation says it will seek “the causes, remedies and preventives of these afflictions," we can expect results. This does not mean that polio will be neglected. The National Foundation still pledges patient aid to polio victims. K still urges vaccination. With two of every five persons under 40 still unvac tnated, polio isn’t finished yet. If you are one of those unvaccinated, don’t delay another day. Only when everybody has had the complete series of three Salk shots will the Na tional Foundation be really ready to shoulder its big new job. The First Roosevelt It is fitting that Americans should today be giv ing wide attention to the celebration of Theodore Roosevelt’s centennial. For the nation’s history affords few figures more worthy of honor and study. Buch an attractive, many-faceted and dynamic man naturally evoked much hero worship. As this fades, more lasting and reliable estimates of his work are being formed His Square Deal was more a personal credo than an enduring political philosophy. But it expressed a basic attitude in its rejection of extremes on both sides and its devotion to honest, efficient government. He called himself a radical, and Lincoln Steffens said he “thought with his hips.” But he was one of the most effective administra tors who ever called the White House home. .And he fought La Follette and Bryan as hard as he did the “malefactors of great wealth.” On two counts he was impelled toward reform: by a moral sense which hated injustice and by a political sense which preferred change to revolu tion. But he was a pragmatist, a “conserving re former.” He did not really “bust the trusts”; ra ther he set a pattern of responsible regulation which merits more attention today. His general approach and some specific reforms he advocated definitely affect the present. His concept of executive powers is generally accept ed. He was among the first to glimpse the future international role of the United States and to build national power in preparation for it. He even knew what it was to have members of his party in Congress seek his aid in elections and then turn to fight his programs. Although personal ambition and political strife darkened his later years the vivacity and devotion of his family life and personal friendships left a bright and charming record. Anyone dipping to daiy at random into the vast sea of his published letters is likely to be fascinated by the first Roose velt’s rainbow of interests and amazed by his in sights regarding men and nations—including Rus sia. ■—Christian Science Monitor Advertising is business, not charity—spend your advertising dollars with this in mind. Education is either worth supporting, or it should be dropped as a state activity. ‘ An• absolutely honest life is probably the best testintony that an individual can offer to prove his religious beliefs. *»vy of the success of others is the best indi cation that you do not deserve, and probably will not have, similar success. »o 4 never know how broke your friends are un til jrou serve on a committee to collect funds for a worthwhile charitable cause. . -vf*—Y ■ it \ ■(■MNNeMaMMVNVMMMMaWWBMBMBMBMBiI Jdeard & .Seen By Buff a John Mitchener had an unusual request the other day when it was sort of warm and he had an electric fan running near the soda fountain in his drug store. A man, after giv ing an order for a ham*sandwich, said, “John, will you please turn off that fan?” John, sort of puzzled, asked, “Well, just why do you want me to turn off that fan when it is as warm as it is?” The fellow promptly replied, “Well, I just ordered a ham sandwich and I don’t want that slight breeze to blow off the ham before it gets to the toaster.” John turned off the fan rather than put a heavier piece of ham on the sandwich —he saved both 1 ways, ham and electricity. u— Members of the 16th District of Federated Woman’s Club evidently believe in “integra tion” just a little bit. With some 175 ladies attending the district meeting held Monday in Edenton, they gathered at the Masonic Temple for their dinner, which was served by members of the Eastern Star. Among ’em was a lone man, Jim Griffin. However, Jim was called in to take some pictures and he just had to give in to the ladies’ request to eat dinner with ’em. Jim didn’t get a word in edgewise, but he took some pictures. U Two items of business reached me with only space left in this column. One has to do with R. F. Tuttle, who had the misfortune to fall and break his arm last week while visiting his daughter, Mrs. Ray Spencer, in Hampton. Ya. Friends will regret to learn that he has been hospitalized. Then Jack Mooney called to tell me that the High School j Band will sponsor a turkey shoot at the j American Legion grounds Wednesday after- i noon, November 19, beginning at 2:30 o’clock and running into a night shoot. The purpose is to help raise money to apply on the band's : indebtedness for new instruments, so that it j is hoped many will try to win a turkey and j at the same time help the band to get out of debt. The bandsters will charge a buck a shot, and tickets will be sold for the event. O With the Edenton Aces just about manag ing to get by the Hertford Indians no doubt had something to do with putting the boys in high gear to easily roll over the favored | Ahoskie Indians Friday night 27-0. But this impressive victory should be no reason for j the Aces to believe they will have easy pickin’ j with the Plymouth Panthers on Hicks Field Friday night. In fact-the chances are equal for either team to enter the playoffs for the j State Class A championship. The winner of I the game will enter the playoffs, so that the j Aces have a big stake to play for. If they ! play like they did against Tarboro and Ahos- j kie, here’s one who’ll bet the Aces will win. j But if they play like they did against Hert ford and Elizabeth City, I'll change my bet. j The Aces have played on foreign soil four consecutive games, so here’s hoping they cele brate their homecoming to home soil by an j impressive victory over Plymouth and step up another rung in the ladder toward a state Class A championship. The game is sort of a problem for the Lester Forehands. You see, John Jackson is a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Forehand and besides that he is an outstanding tailback for the Plymouth Panthers, having scored 80 points or better this season. Os course, the Forehands want to see the Aces win and at the same time they want to see their grandson play a spectacular game. In such a situation what in the devil is a fellow going to do? At any rate, the game should be a battle royal on the gridiron and besides both the Edenton and Plymouth bands will be on hand to add color and in terest to the game. Then, too, it's the school's homecoming, whic h means that a group of beautiful gals will be diked out in evening drefeses (freezing weather or net) and j one will be crowned as Queen. Want to have j a seat? Better go early! U With one of my “crew” at home, Jimmy White, in the hospital following an operation for appendicitis Monday night, I have occa sion to see other patient who are hospitalized. Henry Jenkins is one of ’em and he says they've taken so many blood tests that he’s wondering if they’re using his blood to give to somebody else. Then another patient wanted to know why a nurse s'uck a ther mometer in his mouth so often. “We want to see if you have fever,” the nurse told him. “I don’t have a damn bit of fever,” he told the nurse. Anyway, if you’re in a hospital the nurses are sure going to jam t hat ther mometer in your mouth, fever or not. And then Ed Parker was a visitor at the hospital Tuesday night and while I was looking at the babies in the cribs, Ed creeped up and a§ked, “Are you the daddy of one of them?” Well, not *hat I know of, brother! U Jim Brooks at the Red Men Banquet and Hobart Steele at the Rotary meeting spoke along the lines of working together. Which reminds me of what I read the other day about the hot dog: “A reminder for us all that sausages that don’t hang together stew separately.” THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY OCTOBER 30. I9SO. — ■ ■ . 1 1 = Letters To The Editor j PREACHER REPLIES Dear Sir: A few weeks ago I pointed out that the Taylor [ Theatre admitted youngsters to the “adult entertainment” movie, “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof” (which | movie was denounced by the New) York Times, of all papers, as a grossly unfair and indecent libel of the morals of people in the) South). With outraged innocence the manager has answered me, claiming I “wrongly accused” him since “children under twelve were not admitted unless accompanied by their parents”. Now that is quite clear. No youngsters were admitted. Only mature, grown-UD, adult, twelve year-old men and women. How I have wronged him! Or have I? This may come as news to the manager of the Tay lor Theatre, but in the best in formed academic circles, twelve year-olds are still considered youngsters. Movie theatres may classify them as adults in order to charge them a few more pen nies for tickets, or to find a lame excuse for corrupting their mor als, but they are youngsters none, the less. “No youngsters, only twelve-year-olds!” If hi s answer were not so tragic it would be hilariously funny. And the man ager of the Taylor Theatre must think the members of the local ministerial association are indeed a pack of idiots if he expects to impress and silence us with such “reasoning”. Parents should take note that the Taylor Theatre ad | mits youngsters of twelve to mor ally objectionable movies, and ■ with cynical disregard for all ba | sic standards of decency, has be gun the practice of running these | movies on Saturday afternoons and Sundays (no doubt in observ ; ance of the di\ino command to re | member the Sabbath Day to keep ; it holy). As a matter of fact, this type of movie will do infinitely more harm to a twelve-year-old than to a youngster of ten or eleven. The movie would be beyond the understanding of the younger j child, and would only bnre him. At twelve, however, the young ; ster is beginning to feel the first stjrrings of adolescence, and is en-) : tering the period in life when me I sex urge is the strongest. Movies J that cheapen and degrade this sacred emotion, movies that play j upon and arouse the passions, can ! do irrepairable harm and lead to 1 serious trouble and broken lives. | I am sorry the manager of the Taylor Theatre refuses to face this fact, but if he thinks that the Christian ministers and peopld ; of Edenton are going to stand idly by while he exposes our chil ; rtren and young people to such filth he should be set straight once and for all. The motion picture industry ' exerts a tremendous influence on young America. Some producers j take their responsibility seriously and some do not. It therefore falls to 'he managers of theatres to realize they are In a business that has a great, potential for pub lic service, and to conduct that business as faithful servants and stewards of Jesus Christ. J. Edgar Hoover has labeled such movies “A brawn affront to our national conscience,” and has blamed them for the rise in ju venile delinquency in some parts of our country.
