? ? LOCAL EDITORIAL COMMENT . . - With Mine Own " Lester Mattox was, until re cently, a restaurant operator In Atlanta, Ga. He had worked hard over the years and had prospered because of his labors. His business was successful and It offered employment to 66 people, plus a good Income for Its owner. The restaurant Is closed now, not because Mattox has gone broke or because his custom ers left him or that .his lease ran out. It Is closed because, through the Civil Rights law, Washington Is telling Mattox how he is to run his restaurant. Rather than bow to dictates from people that have neVer seen his place of business and needless to say, never Invested a cent in Its operation, Mattox has gone to selling souvenirs In front of bis place. Undoubtedly, a man of his capabilities will survive. He will continue to eat. The same cannot be said for the 66 employees. They must now be added to the doles of the "poverty stricken" handout. These people would rather con tinue working for their liveli hood and Mattox would rather have his restaurant. But this is the way of things In our world today. Those that sanction the closing of one man's business to ap pease another should read the words of Christ in Matthew 20: 15, "Is It now lawful for roe to do what I will with mine own?" Visitors Welcome Over the week end, Loulsburg was favored with the visltof 325 Methodist laymen from 56 coun ties In Eastern Carolina. Some what belatedly, we welcome these Christian leaders to our community. Their annual session ended Sunday afternoon. Their entire stay was limited to the college campus. True they had a busy schedule and little time for look ing the town over, but It would have been nice If townspeople had previously been Informed of their visit In Its midst and could have arranged some token of welcome. According to their spokesman, Mr. Roy Turnage, of Ayden, the meeting was most successful and enjoyable* They always are when Loulsburg College has anything to do with It. More and more, local citizens are realiz ing Just how valuable the college is to this community and that they would be interested in knowing of the presence of im portant groups. Meetings such as this bring many fine people into our midst, and because of the outstanding Latest Fashions In l'uris the latest fashions have had the clothes wtvld m a dither and it seems several "daring" new de signers are once again setting up miliums of females far another change in styles. The wirld of fashion is a dizzy one and the editor is no expert in this field. However, it doesn't take an expert to see how the sty le manip ulations in the industn produce hundreds of millions of dollars worth of new sales, when a current style is suddenly outdated with something "daring." For example, if skirts are short (as they are now) and are suddenly lengthened, millions of women find themselves with outdated skirts. And many women follow the dictates of the fashion industry like sheep. Job being done by the college, these people are shown the fin er things In our community, namely our college. It would be well that the community awaken to Its obligation to also welcome < such groups to Loulsburg. Too long, the college has been a community unto itself. It Is time to Join together, the com- i id unity and the college, that both might benefit from the merger. Let the community be aware of things going on at j the college ; and let the college be advised j of things going on In the com- ; munlty, to the end that visitors ; may receive a warm welcome ; from both. Certainly, the college has been Invaluable In recent weeks in the treatment of Industrial visi tors and, for that matter, politi cal visitors as well. Seems the college has moved in the direc tion of better relations. Now, the community should, seek ways to reciprocate and welcome visitors to the college. The FrajifeWn Times ? Established 1170 ?
