And the preacher has, made hit last prayer; When the1 people have heard their last ser mon?

What then When the actors have played their last drama And the mimic has made his last fun. When the film has flashed its last picture, And the billboard displayed ts last run; When the crowds seek ing pleasure have vanished. t And gone out in the darkness again ? When the trumpet of ages is sounded. And we stand up before Him? What then? When the bugle's call sinks into silcnce And the long marchng, columns stand still.

But thoaa who neadad it would Have been willing to pay any price if it had bean available/ The American pharmaceutical industry, howerer, wu workinf to brine aown the coat. And fortu nately for all of us, tha highly com petitive pharmaceutical companies did. By Uteearly 1950' i they devej oped laboratory techniques and mass-production methods that brought the cost of a tablet of penioQin diwn to leas than the price of a candy bar. An eoually dramatic develop ment took place in the treatment of liabetes. A feneration ago a victim jf this disease (and a two- to-one :hance of an early death in ? diabetic ?nu. How eagerly he would have paid any pries fora drug like insulin. Insulin, too, at fint could bo made only in comparatively small batches and at high cost. Today, the pharmaceutical laboratories have learned how to turn out ad vanced forms of insulin compounds in quantities sufficient to meet the needs of all who require the drug. And the price has been ilashed to less than six per cent of what it was in the 1930's. A diabetic now can often live out his normal expectancy by the protection of a daily insulin dosage which coats little more than half the price of a package of cigarettes. By using a considerable per centage of their earnings to expand reeearch work, pharmaceutical companies not only make older drugs cheaper, they continue to develop new and better drugs. Here, again, the diabetea sufferer ia ? good cue in point. Recently, many diabetica havt been able to discard the hypo dermic needle that muat be naed to administer insulin. Compound! have been developed that can b? taken orally. New oral drugs, lot example, free many diabetics from the hypodermic shots. A tablet car be taken by mouth and will control some types of diabetes (or th? entire 24-hour period. There is no way to measure the pal 114 of a life-saving medicine. For who would put a price- tag on life? But we can measure the cost of drugs that havs added years of life for millions of Americans. And the Sgures are reassuring. A recent survey showed Amer icans spend an average of nearly |53 a year for alcohokcbeverages, more than $36 for tobacco products ind only about $18 for prescrip tions. Contrasting our outlay on irinks against drugs, we seem to be getting a good bargain at the prescription counter. Rock 'N' Roll Tunes Send Gorilla Into Monkeyshines PHILADELPHIA (API - Bam boo is a real gone gorilla now. He used to blow up a scary storm among the city's zoo fans. Even his slightest scowl would do it No more, though. He's soppy soft on rock 'n' roll. It all came out tnio the open Tuesday that the hulking creature tias fallen in love with radio voices belting out tunes of far greater volume than meaning. What used to be a terrible-tem pered 300 pounds of menace, ev ery hair bristling misanthropical ly, is now a mere moony, gooey gorilla with ears cocked for hot numbers. Like Ferdinand the Bull, who turned girlish and esthetic, and the weak-willed lion in the Wizard of Oz, Bamboo is at the mercy of the scornful and ribald. For Bamboo, one of the most!

Yet if you break down the State into areas, we believe you will find that thia reputation is . the result of the progressive development of certain sections of the State, most of which also subscribe to the "legal control" system of the sale of beer and ale. A progressive community is an enlightened community which respects the rights of others and is tolerant of the wishes and beliefs of thoee who profess a difference of opinion. Mew industry prefers an enlightened community. - New industry means progress to a community, and progress calls for a practical approach to all matters affecting a law-abiding citisenry. In a country where the 4 Freedoms are the accepted creed, there is no room for the outmoded laws of prohibition. The "legal control" laws governing the sale of beer and ale in North Carolina were deeigned to give an enlightened approach to differences of personal opinion. They are working better than any other system ever devised.
