I Thompson, editor of the High Point Enterprise for the past 10 years, today became editor and co-pub lisher of the weekly tabloid, the Beacon, here. Thompson resigned as editor of the Enterprise effective Saturday. | “It was like pulling my own teeth to leave the Enterprize,” Thompson said. “My 10 years as sociation with the paper and the publisher have been most pleasant, but there is an opportunity in the new enterprise which I can’t afford to pass up. We expect to do a great deal with our paper.” Thompson, Dave Neill and Ed Kemp, all of High Point, purchased the weekly.

I've filled in a lot of what other wise might have been dull summer afternoons watching | these industrious little creatures. I’m afraid, however, I’ll have to admit that I’ve failed to follow their example in industry and saving too closely, but we humans usually are allergic to following good ex amples anyway. Some day I’m going to get me one of those glass houses that I saw in the Marshall-Field store in Chicago, park it on my desk at home, and do a little more observing of these fascinating little creatures. CLARIFYING TIIE LAW In sending the controversial eases up to Superior I Court by Judge H. Paul Strickland to the State Supreme j | Court for “a clear cut decision” and a clarification of the j [■law with respect to jury trials in Recorder’s Courts, Sol ; icitor Jack Hocks has pointed up a problem that troubles j most laymen. ! Ignorance of the law is held to be no excuse for the I 1 violator when he is hailed into court to answer for his | violation, but some of our laws have become so bound up j in legal verbiage that they are extremely difficult for a i lay man to understand. Os course, we understand that laws are made by law yers, and perhaps they are designed the way they are in order that these lawyers will have work to do. However, in some cases the laws are so equivocal in their meaning and application that even the lawyers themselves admit that they find it hard to understand. The average person will not willfully violate the law, "How," She Asks, "Can You Promote A Piano Player?"

Tctifying at a court fight be tween her husband, Melvin Wesch ler, and his ex-wife, the singer said yesterday that her husband made S3OO weekly accompanying the trio. “But don’t you intend to promote him,” asked an attorney for Sue Allen, Weschler’s former wife who sought to boost his child support payments from S2OO to $616.15 monthly because she claimed he now earned SSOO a week. The singer said no promotion was m store for her husband. “How,” she asked, “can you pro mote a piano player?” The judge denied requested boost in support payments. | j and the majority of our citizens are law-abiding. I think it I is about time that some of our laws were overhauled and simplified and put into language that the ordinary person can understand. USE FOR LIQUOR TAX Judge Susie Sharpe suggested an unusual, but never the less logical use for the tax money from ABC stores by using the money as a cure for the habit the product sold in these stores causes. Noting that at present the only thing a Recorder’s ; Court judge can do in the case of a chronic drunkard is to send him to the roads for 30 or 60 days, which doesn’t do the slightest bit of good, the feminine jurist suggests that the offender be sent to a rehabilitation center such | as Camp Butner, “Understand,” she said “I am finding no fault with Camp Butner. It is doing an excellent job as far as it goes, but it just doesn’t reach the right persons. She pointed out that admission to the rehabilitation center at Camp Butner is on a voluntary basis and that the person who desires to be cured must have S2OO. The chronic drunk who is found in court has neither the de sire to be cured or the S2OO. | “As long as we are going to have ABC stores,” Judge j Sharpe said, “why not use the tax monev from this source ' to set up a similar program of rehabilitation on a compul sory basis and send chronic drunks there?” To the writer this sounds like a good idea. IT S HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME Somebody, I don’t recall who at the moment, said j something to the effect that “it isn’t whether you win or I lose but how you play the game.” That is the way Coacn j Paul Waggoner feels about his football team. Coach Waggoner admits that his Green waves are often outclassed in the teams selected for his schedule , but says, “The boys will learn more good football by being defeated by a good team than by winning out over a team of inferior players.” Then too, he points out, football scholarships in the j colleges are awarded on the basis of the player's ability, | regardless of whether that ability is shown oh a winnir;; or losing team. “As long as my boys show a good scrappy spirit, and play the game as it should be played, I don t worry about the score,” he says. Hope to see you all right here again. , Loans—Financing » tfoke Loans Oa New and Used Automobiles INSTALLMENT LOAN DEPT. . . FIRST-CITIZEN BANK & TRUST CO. Stewart Theatre Bldg. Phm,e iooi Dunn, N.
