C., under the laws of Congress, Act of March 3, 1879 Every afternoon, Monday through Friday Judge Henry L. Stevens A Distinguished Jurist Harnett Countv is particularly honored this week and next in having Judge Henry L. Stevens of Warsaw to pre side over a two weeks criminal session of Harnett Superior Court. Henry Stevens not only is one of the most distinguish ed judges of our State; he is also one of the State’s most distinguished citizens. He is a former national commander of the American Legion and he has attained scores of other honors in a brilliant career. He is a man who has served and continues to serve his State and his country in a manner which reflects great credit and great honor. One of the things which impresses local citizens most about Judge Stevens when they walk into his courtroom is the able, efficient and dignified manner in which he runs his court. Judge Stevens truly runs his court. He takes no fool ishness from lawyers or anybody else; he allows no side show shenanigans and does not tolerate the antics of a three-ring circus. He conducts his court in the most eloquent and dig nified manner which gives assurance that it is truly a court of justice. Furthermore, Judge Stevens is always fair, at the same time firm. He does not deal in Sunday School lec tures and sugar-coated sentences. Judge Stevens can alwavs be counted on to temper justice with mercy and at the same time he can be count ed on to look cut so, the interests of the public as well as for the man at the bar of justice. Yes, it is truly refreshing to attend a session of Judge Stevens court. We welcome Judge Stevens back to Harnett and express the hope that he yvill be assigned here more often in the future. World Community Day Is Observed Lillington's united council of church women observed World Community Day on Friday with a program presented at 3:30 p. m. at the Baptist Church. Mrs. T. D. O'Quinn, president of the local council of united church women, arranged the program which featured a talk by the Rev. T. W. Williams on "Building For World Peace.” Mrs. J. B. Gouriay presid ed. Church women from the town's three churches co-operated in the observance which was nation-wide. Those who attended brought a col lection of good used clothes for children up to six years of age. This was supplemented by a cash offer ing which will be used for food and vitimins for children in needy areas abroad. The clothes and the food will be sent to areas designated bv the United Council of Church Women. Frederick OTHMAN ACAPULCO. Mexico. Next time J. M. Stein, the tailor in Washington. D. C.. says it takes him three weeks of hard work to make me a suit, I shall refer him to Jazmin Hadud. the speediest tailor there ever was. She whips up a coat and a pair of pants in 45 minutes flat, and tx keep the customers from being bored while they waif she serves ’em breakfast of fresh coconut milk and soft-boiled turtle ogges seasoned with lime juice. Your tailor ever offer you half a dozen hot turtle eggs? That's what I thought. Most of her gen tlemen take one look at these yell owish globules about the size of hens’ eggs, but with resilient, lea therlike shells. Then they gulp and turn away. That leaves Jazmin with many a turtle egg to consume per sonally during the day and she is getting what you might call plump. Her reputation as the fastest tailor in all Mejico she did not a chieve by accident. Practice and planning, said she: is her secret. While the client is choosing his fabric, usually a tropical cotton. Jazmin is giving him the old double- O. Long since she gave up measur ing the people. Using a tape mea sure is time-consuming apd to tally unnecessary. When the prospect points at the fabric he wants. Jazmin attacks it immediately with a pair of shears. Behind her she has a battery of electric sewing machines with In dian ladies at the throttles. Two of these take a sleeve apiece and sew it up. Another binds the edge * of the coat and stitches in the but tonholes. while a fourth sews the p-’-ts together. While this is being done Jazmin relaxes over the turtle eggs and in three-quarters of an hour the suit is ready to wear home. For the consolation of Senor Stein the Minor Accidents Reported Here No one was injured although there was considerable property damage in three minor wrecks over the weekend, reported by the Dunn Police Department. On Saturday at 7:30 p. m. on East Johnson Street a car driven by Raymond Brinkley of Dunn and Charles Parker of Route 2 Benson collided. The Parker car was damaged about SIOO and the other car blit slightly. Sunday afternoon aoout 1:10 p. m. two cars were damaged in a collision on West Broad Street. At 5.30 p. m. Sunday, a car driven by Thad Mcßae of Erwin and one driven b' Shelton Whit man of Benson, collided at the intersection of North Clinton and Edgerton. Damage was about $l5O each. an agency of the federal council of churches in the U. S. A. District of Columbia, I must re port ” that Jazmin’s suits are not to be compared with his in quality or workmanship, but they are sur prisingly good looking. Also, they cost $9.50 a copy. Jazmin. as you may have sur mised. is no Mexican name. Her parents were Syrian, she lived a while in Los Angeles and came to Mexico many years ago. Since then she has become one of the most prosperous and most highly respect ed merchants in this beautiful seaside town. She does not. of course, spurn the . female trade. When she makes a dress for a lady, she sews in it a label saying, "Madame Butterfly, designer”. Dresses are easier for Jazmin even than suits. They us ually take her about 30 minutes, I know about this because Hilda strolled in and ordered one of black cotton with a wide red ruffle on the bottom, plus a shawl of the same material. Jazmin never had done one quite like this, but she attacked the bolts of cloth with enthusiasm. This was in the afternoon. No turtle eggs. Instead she had what she called Mexican chewing gum: lumps of resin as it came from the slashed pine trees. I took a chunk of this and chewed. It was bitter. Jazmin said it would get better later. It also got softer. Soon I had quininelike gum smeared be tween all my teeth and I couldn’t get rid of it. I still didn’t get it all that night with my tooth brush. The dress, according to Hilda and Madame Butterfly, turned out magnificent. Even to me it looked good. The Madame was so excited a bout this new r design that she be gan calling Mrs. 0.. Madam Butter fly Segundo, and cut the price in half, or to $3. She said she expect ed soon to be dressing half the la dies of Acapulco in Hilda style. Shel These Days f* FORMATION OF THE CABINET In the United States, Cabinet officers are secretaries and as sistants to the President. They hold office at his option. They are ele cted to no office and have no in dependent constituencies. They us ually are members of the Presi dent's party, although he may ap point citizens who are of the op posite party or of no party at all. President-elect Eisenhower will have a difficult time choosing his Cabinet, because of his newness to political life. With hardly a work ing majority in either house of Congress, he is politically depend ent upon a Republican-Southern Democrat coalition through which he must get appropriations for his various departments. That coali tion can make or break his Ad ministration. because they can withold. reduce, or delay appro priations Committees of Congress can also hold up confirmations of persons he appoints or can delay such ratifications or hold unplea sant and prolonged hearings in' public. Each member of the Cab inet has to be confirmed by the Senate. Guess-lists. issued by various prophets, of prospective Cabinet officers have most of them coming from the. Eastern Seabord prin cipally New York. This is politi cally impossible. The basic strength of his party is still in the Middle West, which cannot be ignored in Cabinet appointments. If New York gets two seats, it may prove one too many. California has the Vice President and therefore more than one Cabinet member from Cali fornia would be high. The South ern Democrats who deserted party regularity to vote for Eisenhower are . entitled to Cabinet recognition. The Taft Republicans, who consti tute the largest element in the Re publican Party, will have to be recognized. Geographical appointments are normal to American political life. It is a recognition of the structure of American society based upon our history. We are a federation of 48 sovereign states. Furthermore. New York is dis liked and distrusted in most parts of the United States, the assump tion being that it is a city divided between Wall Street plutocrats "and Stork Club wisecrackers. Organi zation Republicans, who have lab ored in the desert for 20 years, will exuect recognition. The Republican Party consists of three basic elements: 1. The Taft Republicans: 2. The Young Rep ublicans i since 1932\: 3. The New Republicans, (those who came in to the party with Eisenhower). Amity was achieved within the partv largely through the efforts of Robert A. Taft and Herbert Hoover, It can almost be said that Taft campaigned as hard as Eisen hower did. That was essential, as otherwise a large number of Re publicans would not have voted enough possibly to change the out come of the election. Herbert Hoover fought the tendency to sabotage Eisenhower from the day Eisenhower was nominated. It can be said that the Republican Party had not been as unified since 1928 as it was in .1952 and that Taft and Hoover achieved that unity for Eisenhower. The Young Republicans were di vided between the Taft and Eisen hower elements. They have had on governmental experience. except perhaps in Congress or in offices under the New Deal during the war. However, many of them have been effective party workers during the past 20 years. In the course of the next decade, they will take over the Republican Party and will run it. Most of them must be idealisti cally Republicans or. they would not have chosen careers in a de feated party and stayed with it through the bleak years of failure. The New Republicans have no history in the Republican Party except in this campaign. Few even know their names. Their loyalty is to Eisenhower the man. not to the party. Politically, they are expect ed to wait their turn. If too many are elevated to high position before they have won confidence, it may hurt Eisenhower's chances of hav ing smooth sailing in Congress. Were the Republican working majorities in the two houses of Congress notable, these distinctions would not matter. How'ever with the slim majority that the Republi cans have (no actual working ma jority in either house), the great est care must be taken to main tain the unity in the party achieved during the campaign. This will re quire political astuteness of the highest order. Roosevelt had a pro longed honeymoon period: Eisen hower will not have that because the Democrats will seek to rebuild their party as rapidly as possible, with a view to recapturing Con gress in 1954. That is why Cabinet appoint ments are so important. also said next time I had a few minutes, drop in and she’d whip me up another suit. You hear that, Senor Stein? She didn’t say weeks. She said minutes. With turtle eggs and limes to squeeze on ’em, to boot. flB DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N. C mister breger JK7 y. wBttfIEMHF “I’ve a surprise for you—close your eyes and stick out your neck ...” LYNN NISBET: Around £apihol SquaM POSTLUDE Folks around cap ital square did not like the way the election came out nationally, but only a few were really sur prised at Eisenhower's victory. There was general attitude of pleasure that North Carolina remained in the Democratic column. Almost un animous gratification was expressed that the new President- will have a “workable” Congress for the start of his administration. When numerous State officials were in enterviewed final returns Were not in. but it seemed certain that the Senate would be organized by the Republicans and j;on-Demo>vat:c majority in the House of Repres entatives was indicated. That did surprise some erf the State office people. Likewise some local Eisen hower supporters have voiced dis appointment in the prospective less of Congressional leadership to Nor th Carolina. Generally, however, the thinking is that if change was to come it should be all the way. PATRONAGE The job-consc ious folks on capitol square gave immediate thought to the turnover in government personnel at Wash ington. Many thousands of the gov ernment workers are more or less protected by civil service. Under civil service provisions it is . still possible to fire an employee for cause; and there are Other thous ands not covered by civil service but who hold their, jobs wholly on basis of party patronage. Some of them have been there for the 20 years that Democratic administra tions have been in power. Chances are many of them will not be there much longer. Being already jittery because of changing administrations in Raleigh, though the change does not involve different poltical par ties. some of the capitol square workers are wondering about the impact upon the State situation of job-seekers released at Washington. That as much as any other factor concerned many mid-level employ ees with whom your reporter has talked. Personnel in the offices of Tarheel congressmen, except in the case of Rep. Hamilton Jones, will not be affected, but majority of those cn payrolls of congressional committees headed by Democrats •may be replaced by appointees oi Republican chairmen. UNFUNNY lt was funny when the late Clarence Lundy said it. but the suggestion is definitely un funny now. Lundy was talking about the number of North Carolinians who would lose their jobs in Wash ington if Wendell Willkie were elec ted in 1940. He said the “exodus of Hebrews across the Red Sea would look like a group on the way to a family reunion picnic when compar- CUTIES W G FEATUtES RIGHTS RESERVES. “I’m mailing him baek his ring; Since he didn’t ask for j the stone, naturally I’m keeping it.” ' ed to the higeia of North Carolin ians across the Potomac.” He was talking about the thousands of em ployees in the various governmen -1 tal departments, commissions, bur eaus and agencies Which would change from Democratic to Republi can control. The change did not occur then, but it is coming up early next year Incidentally, that is one phase of the overall question which many Democrats for Eisenhower did not evaluate. Their help was ac cepted and appreciated hy the Re publican organizations, but when time comes to distribute patronage most of the jobs will go to Re publicans. and most of them to res idents of traditionally Republican states. STATE There was im unprece dentedly heavy vote all over the na tion, but in North Carolina parti cularly the voters made monkeys out of all the forecasters. When Everett Jordan, Democratic chairman, and some others first predicted nearly a million votes in this State they we e hooted at. Most estimates ran ged around 900.000. and there were some informed persons who figured that a IQ*?; increase of the 7931000 cast four years ago would be about tops. When final reports are in the total is going well above the max imum forecast of a million, mavb’ even to a million and a quarter. That, will represent about 30*7 jump over the last Presidential vote in North Carolina. Your reporter had predic ted last summer a vote of a million, and last week he predicted a Stev enson majority approximately 15*. cf the total, or around 150.000. Looks now like the final tally will be 10'. or less, in the neighborhood of 100.- 000. It may be smaller than that. The biggest “bust” made bv your reporter was in the 10th district, where Democratic Incumbent Ham Jones was given a chance to win by a narrow margin. He lost by a very substantial margin. All the other forecasts made here stood up pretty well in the final count. GOOD Everybody who has been heard to comment on the sub ject has expressed gratification at size of the total vote. Many com ments have been to the general effect that when more than a mil lion North Carolinians go to, the polls, representing some 60*7 of the eligible registered voters and ap proximately half of the maximum potential, it is really an election. The fact that so many people voted in North Carolina and in the na tion Tuesday is much more im portant than how they voted. RESPONSIBILITY ADparent ly the people of this State discharg ed their responsibility more fully Walter Winch© U In New York wtom MAN PLAYING THE REMINGTON Sample of slanted reporting in a local editorial: "Newsweek, plugged regularly in the WW pillar, has a friendly piece about WW” (on its current press page) .... That's just the point we tried to make the other morning about factual and slanted reportage .... We have saluted Newsweek’s reporting —a lot—despite the fact Newsweek has given us the worst of it more than any national publication. On at least three occasions News week either got careless with the facts (about us) or gave the flop position the best of it when we were in a dogfight .... The first time was when Newsweek (like so many others), desperate for some quick circulation, decided to "use Winched" .... It took page ads in some dailies with “War Declared” type, which yelied. "WINCHELLS REAL NAME! See NEWSWEEK, out tomorrow!" . .. We let three days go by and then phoned the editor: "Mr. Williamson this is Walter Winchell 'Well, well,” cackled Mr. Williamson .... "We wondered when you were going to call. What's the squawk?" "No squawk. Just thought I’d tell you that since you fellows are in the re-write business .... ” “The research business,” he interrupt ed .... "Okay,” we said, "research then. Don't any of you up there know how to read?” .... “Meaning what?” was the query .... "That's my mother’s maiden name you claim is mine,” we cooed .... There was a slight pause—then an ago nized scream of “Ohhhh, mmyyy Gahddddd!” And he hung up .... Later he sent his regrets in these words: “Thank you for your good letter about an atrocious mis take. It’s just the kind of a note you yourself would want to get if you’d been wrong.’’ Then there was the time the Miami Herald got a call from a tourist who calmly reported:: "My husband and I just drove down from Michigan. Unless we find a certain type of blood before to morrow morning he will die” "Look, lady,” said the Herald desk chief, "give it to me fast. Our first edition is on the streets but Win chell appears in our paper and he goes on the air any minute (it was then 8:56 p. m.) and perhaps he will help” .... It was exactly 9 p. m. (Sunday night) and I was in the middle of “Mr. and Mrs. North and South America” when a hur riedly-scribbled memo was shoved under my nose. I went right into it: "They just handed me this! A man is dying at Biscayne Hospital in Miami. Florida! This is only for people in Florida, please! If you have R-H blood please hurry to Biscayne Hospital and save a life!” Robert Kintner, the chief of the network, and his aide, Tom Vel otta, phoned frofn New York not long after "Tell WW he must go on again at 11 o’clock and re port on what followed. We stopped counting them after the first 1,000 calls! The girls at the boards here are going daffy. Everybody claims having that blood” In the meantime, a war vet named Nathan Dash was one of thousands who congested the streets near the hos pital .. His blood saved the man’s life .... The nurse, ironi cally. was slain a year later and the young doctor died that same year .... The marriage of the press and radio in this story (of saving a life) was ignored by Time, but Newsweek devoted an entire page to it and belittled it all with: “Winchell was hysterical the other broadcast. Overplayed the story and got everybody unduly excited" That’s about what it said; we haven’t text before us now. Betty Forsling (a Doll) was the author Betty will be ABC’s co-producer for our upcoming teevy newscast Oct. sth for The Gruen Watch Co (Well, Gruenight Evvyone!) than ever before, and there is pro bability that the habit of voting may be continued into future elec tions. It is noticeable that North Carolina is once more counted in the list of States adhering to a reasonable middle -of - the - road course. In the nomination and elec tion of William Umstead as Gov ernor and the slate of State of ficials which went along with the Democratic ticket, the voters in dicated lack of desire to change the basic features of State govern ment while at the same time prov ing they did not want to go any farther to the liberal side. In giv ing Eisenhower the largest vote ever accorded a Republican candi date, Tarheels also showed their displeasure at some of the extreme positions taken by the recent na tional administrations. Still Debated WASHINGTON ftp -'“Eye-wit ness” testimony Was piling up to day that* the United States has exploded the world’s first hvdro gen bomb at Eniwetok. It may have exploded more than one; the testimony on that point was not clear. But whatever has been going on at the Pacific atoll proving ground it’* still going on and the Atomic Energy Commission won’t say any thing until it’s over. THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 13, 1952** The Worry Clinic ||Pl|| By DK. GEORGE W. CRANK PEOPLE WITH A HIGH I. Q. • MAY STILL HAVE VERY LITTLE “HORSE SENSE" OR GUMPTION. MONEY MANAGEMENT IS THE BLINDSPOT OF MODERN ED UCATION. VVE HAVE AT LEAST 20,000,000 ADULTS LIKE DORA IN OUR POPULATION RIGHT NOW. .COMMUNISM WILL SP READ LIKE WILDFIRE AMONG THIS TYPE OF PERSONALITY, SO BEWARE! Case E-395: Dora M., aged 40, is a widow with 5 children at home plus two that are grown. Dora has been receiving a wid ow’s pension from the state of Ill inois. When her grown son entered the navy, she obtained about $l2O in a lump sum to cover his first few mffntlis in service. "I had always wanted an electric mixing machine to stir up cakes.” she said,” so I spent SSO for one of them. "It locked like it would be handy for the children to use in stirring candy, too.” NO HORSE SENSE Dora isn't a moron in intelli gence. She has a quick wit and enough mental alertness to make a good score on an intelligence test. But she doesn’t have good judg ment or “gumption" at least re garding money. Dora doesn’t differ in this regard from millions of other Americans, including a large number of our college graduates. For you may scintillate with in telligence and still lack horse sense! You may boast of a college diplo ma and still not have practical judgment. Your I. Q. is inherited. But not your horse sense! The latter is ac quired by practical experience. Many brilliant sons of you suc cessfully business executives be come failures because you didn’t let them carry a newspaper route' as children. You gave them a bountiful allo wance, instead of letting them earn their money as you yourselves did in your own rugged childhood. So is it any wonder your child ern lack gumption? They can’t get it from you parents by telepathy or heredity. BAD EDUCATION Americas education can be in- By America's Foremost Ey Personal? Affairs Counselor RESPONSIBLE FOR AILING WIDOWED MOTHER’S UPKEEP WOMAN FINDS HERSELF WITH OUT AUTHORITY AT HOME DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I was born with the proverbial silver spoon in my mouth and grew up in luxury; but only twice in my life was I permitted to have a party. Seldom was I allowed to go out with friends or visit their homes, and rarely could I invite them to mine. I was trained to be a concert pianist, but could hardly, attain the goal .tied ~to mother’s apron strings. When my father met with fin ancial reverses and lost, his bus iness, mother refused to economize, with the result that we went deeply in debt. After his death I managed to get a job and find an apartment within our means; but mother, now my full dependent, refuses to make it liveable. Granted it isn’t the home we left, still it could be made quite attractive, with the beautiful effects we have from “the good old days." Instead, the entire contents of six rooms of the house arc crowded into three rooms here, warehouse fashion. Easy chairs aren’t accessible; cartons must be shifted to permit access to closets and bureau draw ers. There isn’t a rug on the floor but 23 are in storage. My money is keeping them there. Fourteen pairs of draperies are stacked in a cor ner with not a rag at the windows. Beautiful china- and stemware are packed in a closet and we use cracked cups and jelly glasses. This condition has lasted four years, and, of course, nobody is permitted to call on us. Mother has broken con tact with nearly everyone, claim ing she is ashamed of our sur roundings and rightfully so, but not in the sense she means. If I try to change things or to express myself, an argument en sues until I am in tears. Only sil ence keeps the peace. I cater to mother’s every whim, try to do my part and am willing to cooperate, but I am expected to act with the docility of a 7-year-old in the home I provide, while she remains indomitable. I fully realize I am not capable of handling the situa tion: and suppression has made a morbid person of me besides which I am now a hypertension case. I’ve never been bitter, but lately I have a great urge to be spiteful and retaliatory. Your views are solicited. DEAR C. L.: Your mother is be having irrationally trying to treat you as a mindless slave in her private bedlam. But then you are behaving unwisely too, in permit ting her to Impose her screwball drsign for living upon y6u. After all. you are adult), probably pushing middle age, with sufficient iateiU- dieted on three serious counts. First it is not giving our youth enough specific moral instruction, linked to actual cases from real life. Second, it is still ignoring too generally the vital subject of sex instruction. Third, it is failing to teach child- jf ren enough horse sense, including good financial judgment. The Boy Scouts do a better job in practi cal education than our schools. Since morality, sex information and gumption are all acquired, they can be taught. But some of our college economic profs are rank theorists. They haven’t operated even a popcorn stand at a profit. Such “brain trusters” are filling our children's heads full of vain.j theories on many college campuses. American youth must be taught the value of money. They must be educated in bookkeeping and oper ating a home on a budget. They need to be given a business internship to the extent that they learn how to buy, merchandise their wares and then sell at a pro fit. An American newsboy knows more practical economics than many college professors of econo-jj mics and political science! And I'm not joking! Communism is rapidly spreading in this country because we have millions of scatter-brained Am ericans like Dora today, who may. rate high enough on intelligence tests, or may even have college diplomas but don’t have horse sense. They don’t even know the mean ing of money because they haven’t worked for it. £ They are almost as gullible as children. They buy expensive cake mixers when they are scarcely able to put bread in their mouths. They believe that if the wealth of the Rockefeller, the Mellon, the DuPont and the Roosevelt fam ilies were only divided equally a mong the rest of Americans, every thing would be rosy. Any glib communist orator can sway them, for they lack judgment and hence haven't a well developed critical faculty for seeing the fallacies in communistic argu ments. gence and common sense to be self supporting whereas she is in her second childhood, never having matured, it seems. So the reins of leadership belong in your hands— and only craven habit keeps you in i bondage to her tyranny. You as the family wage earner, saddled with full responsibility forN l her welfare are head of the household, actually. Without your presence and support, she wouldn’t have a home. She would be a pub lic charge, a candidate for institu tional care, no doubt in which case her choice possessions, now moldering in disuse, would be lost to her entirely, 'one way and an other. If she ignores this aspect of reality you, at least, should bear it in mind and should exercise the rights and privileges that are your F due—letting her make the best of it. To bring order out of chaos in the apartment, you should do a shakedown job of decorating when your mother is out of the place temporarily. Your long letter, here condensed, refers to one or two old friends and sympathetic neigh bors, who ari aware of your diffi culties. Call ,on them for help; or enlist the cooperation of a social worker at your local Family Service m Agency. Devise humane plans for getting your mother off the pre mises for a day or two— say for a holiday trip; or a medical check up m a good hospital or a “re quest-visit” to friends of other years. Arrange in advance with the - storage company to fetch and carry on blitz-day. Have a professional decorator on hand too, and with mama in the clear, hustle furniture. draDes, china, etc., into functional position. Make use of whatever you want, that is available and get rid of the balance^ — crate it for stor age. Since you are paying the bills, for rental, storage, etc., it Is your, prerogative to decide “what goes where.” So far, so good. Now, what about mama’s reaction? When she sees the change, she may faint, throw a fit. threaten to leave or otherwise trv to frighten you into stricken submission again. Don’t be bullied. w Stand your ground. If she excites herself dangerously, call the near est doctor who resDonds to em ergency calls and tell him frankly what you’ve been up against in giving home care to a 'mentally disordered parent. In future, take managerial details out of her hands for the most part —by going a head decisively and not waiting to be harangued, "permitted” or push ed around. m.
