The Franklin Times Pwtol>?H?d |v?ry..Tu?td?y A Thur?d?y ^ $???? 09 An O' F>*nfcl>? County LOCAL EDITORIAL COMMENT Evil Will Pass Aivay "Evil will pass away ... Only the good things survive". Thus said M. W. Arnold J. Koonce, Sr., Grand Master of North Carolina Masonry in an address here Sunday. The remarks were related to-jthe cele bration of the 200th anniversary of Ma-' sonry in Franklin County. Two hundred years is a very long tiWfor any organi zation or ideal to survive^urely, to do so, it must be a very "good things. Masonry is just that. The dedication of those men and women who make up the membership, the ideals expressed by its leadership, its goals and its accomplish ments are all on the very highest planes That such a "good thing" has sur vived for 200 years in Franklin County shows once again that good things beget good things. Good people support the good things in life. There are good people in Franklin County and Masonry has found a kind reception here. The dedication here Sunday was a re minder, of the work, the service and the sacrifice of those before us in a cause they believed deserving to survive. It is this effort by 'our forefathers which has handed to us, not only ' good things" such as Masonry here .in Franklin County, but many other heritages which most of us hold dear. Masons here and elsewhere are to be congratulated on reaching this milestone. Their influence on Franklin County is immeasurable and it is hoped that it will continue for another two hundred years. Chances, are that', it will. ' ' Evil will pass away ... Only the good things survive". What Happens Twice . . . . Youngsvi lie citizens now believe the old adage, What happens twice will hap pens three times. If they don't they should. This hustling little community has just landed its third industry in the past 53 days. The latest is a big one. If alt-goes well, seventy-five people we|l be employed in the area by January 1, with the outlook for upwards to 225 in the next couple of years. This size pay roll can make Youngsvi lie and Franklin County hum. '1 How do they do it? SimplW They work at it The first two came to Youngs ville through personal contact. The lat est came to Youngsvi lie because the owner wanted an answer in a hurry. Youngsvi lie gave it to him. "Yes, sir. We can do it." And now they are off and running in an effort to do it. . A real community effort will be need ed before the machines begin to hum in Youngsvi lie, but no ohe doubts that the effort will be put forward or that the ef fort' will be anything lessJhan success ful. Local subscription to $ of bonds, drawing six percent interest for 15 years, has begun. This will be the community's part of the $180,000 cost of the building. It is little to invest for the return which is sure to come from such a project. The spirit is there and Youngsville, ready to grow will not miss .this oppor tunity. The county, too, will want to help and to wish them well. What helps Youngsville, helps us all. And who knows, maybe they might share an industry with the rest of the county one of these days. Campus Life Differs At Moscow University Washington?What Is it like for an American to live the life of a Russian student In Moscow? To begin with, he must learn to cut meat with a spoon, take turns sweeping the kitchen, and be graded on his room's clean liness. "*? Dr. Thomas T. Hammond, ' Professor of Russian History at the University of Virginia, recently spent five months quartered in a Moscow Univer sity dormitory *hlle research ing a book. His* revealing re port on Soviet T|fe appears in the March National Geographic. Dr. Hammond lived in a 9-byr 12-foot room, complete with table, teapot, and loudspeaker that broadcast only Radio Mos cow. Must Have Pass "By Soviet standards, these quarters were luxurious," writes Dr. Hammond. "Indeed, the dormitory rooms are so superior to much of Moscow's housing that many unauthorized persons try to live at the uni versity. Guards at all entranc es require everyone to shdw his propusk (pass) for admit tance." University rules are strictly enforced? and by students. Members of the Voluntary Peo ple's Guard for the Preserva tion of Social Order sometimes searched rooms at midnight for Illegal residents. The Sanitary Committee checked rooms weekly and posted grades of cleanliness on the bulletin board. Student in spectors looked for vermin and sprayed poisons where neces sary. "As a resident of the dorm, I took nay turh at floor duty," recalls Df. Hammbnd. "This involved sweeping the corridors and the two kitchens on our floor, as well as answering the telephone In the parlor for half H a day." o The cafeteria, though inexpen sive, lacked knives. "Either I had to pick up my meat with a fork and bite* off a chunk at a time, or painfully pry the meat into pieces with the edge of a spoon," writes the author. Moscow University with Its 30,000 undergraduates, is a self-sufficient community. It ha? a grocery store, bank, shoe-repair shop, laundry, drugstore,1- clothing shop, watch-repair kiosk, theater ticket bureau, photo studio, past office, several book and news paper stands, movie hall, bar bershop, and b e a u t y parlof where chic coeds getbouffant hairdos. Neon Lights. Log Cabins Dr. Hammond, who speaks fluent Russian, spent weekends exploring the capital of the world's biggest country. As a fast-growing industrial me tropolis of 6,388,000 people, Moscow enjoys glass-sheathed skyscrapers,-' high - fashion shops, and neon lights that .blink out "Long Live Leninism" and "Forward to the Victory of Communism." Strangestof all, Dr. Hammond watched hundreds of men and womep splashing around In an outdoor pool In the midst of a blizzard. The pool was heated, and the swimmers hardly no ticed the sub-zer.o temperature. The Fr&|gty4n Times bttMUM 1(10 ? mmmmi * TW???r> * Tl?? Franklin Timet, Inc BMW ?*4 DM OT ?-IM> LOVMWM, D. C.

By JESSE HELMS It Is astonishing, when you stop to think about It, that not a single member o t the North Carolina delegation In the Con gress has raised an audible pro* test against an outrageous vio lation of the Constitution by President Johnson and this na tion's Ambassador to the Unit ed Nations, Arthur Goldberg. What has happened to the gentle men from North Carolina? Has a cat got their tongues? We refer, of course^ to the incredible move by Ambassador Goldberg which placed our go vernment In collaboration ? if not conspi(^cy--with the Bri tish government in throwing up a naval blockade against the tiny country of Rhodesia, whose Linger nment represents the best hope of civilization in Africa. All of this was accomplished, needless to say, through' the stratagems of the United Na tions. Even so, the role of the United States in it -"-as the most casual student of the Con stitution must know--is com pletely Irregular, improper and Illegal. Mr. Goldberg had no Constitutional authority to so commit the United States, and President Johnson Is specifi cally prohibited 'from exercis ing or delegating such authority. In Article Che, Section Eight, Paragraph Three of the Con stitution, the Cotgress Is given the SOLE responsibility for re gulating commerce with foreign nations. Nevertheless, _ the i United States today is actively participating in ans #co*nomlc blockade against the# govern ment of Rhodesia. We have even pledged our arme<i forces to prevent the delivery of oil to that country. Congress was never consulted about it. * Why? Well, to hear Lyndon Johnson tell It, we are trying to topple -the Rhodes ian govern ment because Negroes do not have what Mr. Johnson regards as "fair representation" In the Rhodeslan government. Yet, there are Negroes in the Rho ,de?lan parliament in a larger percentage than in the Congress of the United States. Negroes there vote on the same basis as whites. Mr. Johnson's ex planation does not hold water except in the foggy minds of those who contend that there should be an immediate, auto ANOTHER ATTEMPTED HOOK-UP IN SPACE Employees Reject Union I '* Tarboro?

Representative from Kansas believes that, "Promoting the wel fare of our p'eople at liome, safeguarding the health of our nation, cleaning up out rivers, beautifying our highways, and puri fying the air we breathe are all worthy projects. But let us first give our undivid ed attention to removing the bridges that carry supplies to our enemies in Viet Nam, Tjl^an up the gunsmoke-polluted air that hovel-s^over our boys in Viet Nam and threatens^th^ir lives, and take care of the immediate ancT~-fu?ure needs of our young men who are risktrrg^their lives to pre serve our freedom!" matlq jnd complete domination o f the Rhodeslan government by non-whites. It Is a strange situation, all round. Rhodesia Is unquestion ably the most civilized country In Africa. It lis the most stable. It Is strongly arjtl communlst; in (act, one of the first actions by the Rhodes lan government after it declared Its independence last November from Great Britain was to of fer, In a formal message to the United States, its mlUtary as ststance In the war against communism In Vietnam. And what of Great Britain, with whom we are collaborat ing in this effort to destroy the government of Rhodesia. Well the British continue to trade with, and ' give aid and comfort to, Communist Cuba, Communist China, and even the communists of North Vietnam. Rhodesia has asked nothing df the United States other than that we engage In free trade. The Rhodeslans want no foreign aid--they mean It when they talk about Independence. They just want to be friends. So we kick them in the teeth. On the other hand, It is well to examine the kind of "friends I we choose to support and fin ance in Africa. We have pour ed a total of nearly a half bllllon dollars Into Ghana and Guinea, and both countries? controlled by black African na tlonallsts ? are strongly pro communist. It must be hoped, of course,, that the efforts of Britain and the United States to crush Rho desia will fall. Signs at the moment are that Rhodesia will, indeed, survive the boycotts and blockades. That all depends upon liow much further we will go In the political murder of a government that pleads only for our friendship and understand ing In Washington, Congressmen privately agree that our government's strange posture In this matter is a. creature of Lyndon Johnson's desire to ap peal to the Negro voters In the United States. If that Is true, then God help a nation that was founded on the principles of honesty and decency. Is it possible that no mem her of Congress from North Carolina Is willing to take a" position on this matter?
