The people of Dunn are mighty proud of the very fine Dunn High School Band, which continues to win laurels and do itself proud. Director Harold Grant and his young musicians are doing an outstanding job, which is reflected by the rating of “Excellent” received in the contest at Raleigh Friday. The band is definitely a great credit to the town, the school, and to the covmty. We are wondering, however, why it’s necessary for the band to go out and ask citizens of the town for $95 for transportation to Wilmington’s Azalea Festival? The citizens of Dunn, through private and organiza tional contributions, purchased many of the band instru ments, bought the uniforms and have supported it’in al most every other way. Citizens of Dunn also pay an extra 15-cent tax levy, part of which goes to pay the salary of the band director. We do not see that citizens should be called on to foot the bill for such transportation. It seems to us that if tlie City of Wilmington wants a fine band such as ours in its festival parade that it should be willing to foot the bill. We know that in the past Dunn merchants have had to finance the appear ance of visiting bands in Dunn’s Christmas parades and at other festivities here; - It isn’t a question of the $95 involved. That small sum can no doubt be raised without difficulty. It’s the principle of the matter. We can appreciate the desire of the band members to attend the festival, even if it means getting out and soliciting the money. After all, it’s a nice trip for them and they would also get to skip classes for a day. What student wouldn’t like that? No doubt, many of them would be willing selves: Many are plenty able to do so. Os course, appearance in those parades provides good practice for the musicians, is both entertaining and in teresting for them, and is also good advertising for the Dunn school and phe Town pf Dunn. But,' somewhere along the way, school officials must draw the line and stop the ever-increasing amount of beg ging and solicitations carried on for school purposes. It has gotten to the place that many of our schools now depend upon the business men and other public spirited citizens to finance practically every project that comes along from a dozen different forms of advertis ing donations to admission-programs and school suppers which cpmpete with local business firms. The average citizen dpesn’t mind occasional contri butions, in addition to the heayy tax burden, but we’re afraid the schools are wearing the practice in the ground. As we see it, if Wilmington or any other town doesn't want our band tfcdly enough to pay the atoense bf transportation, the local school authorities should not pnder any circumstances allow the band to appear Harmon W.

City folks rarely realize how many thousands of men and women have the time and the money to wander about the country seeing things. It must be the result of vacations with pay or the pensions that come at the early age of 55 At any rate, they all seem to have jingle money, not too much but enough to pull away from home and just wander Being a tourist is great fun be cause the world is full of novelties, if only one forgets how old he is, For instance, I had never been in a glass-bottomed boat, viewing the floor of crystal clear water. At Silver Springs, I saw great schools of catfish playing in the vegetation which was so different from any thing I had seen before. Then I went to Ross Allen’s Reptile Institute to see a snake get milked. I think it was a diamond back rattlesnake and an angry devil he was. Too many of us think that we know everything because we know the little world In which we work. I, for instance, have an acquaintance with many so-called great men and if, at times, I sound pessimistic or even cynical, :t is because the great prove to be so small. Ross Allen knows snakes and al ligators and such creatures and he can milk a snake, which no United States Senator or general in the Army can do. And it is an exciting experience because while the snake wants to kill Allen, all Allen wants Is the venom, which he sells for a profit to drug houses. So, in due course, I wandered down to Cypress Gardens, Which has been developed by an ex-piess agent and real estate operator, Richard Downing Pipe, into one of the most beautiful gardens on Earth. Thousands come to see the aquatic sports there, but they held no lime for me. The flowers and trees and climbing vines, '-the beautiful vistas, the great ferns and the background of cypresses— these held me for hours and I envied the man who could spend his life among them. This park must never be lost, even If jingle money grows scarce. kgddrensaPPPPPP- So we wandered on to the Bok Tower, a gem of architecture, so reminiscent, not in design, but in concept, of the Taj Mahal. I do not know what Impelled the truly great publisher and editor, Edward Bok, to erect this tower and lay out the grounds. The tower with its fine carillon, consisting of 71 bells, provides a delightful Interlude in a troubled world. All the time I was there, I could not help wonder why the Bok Memorial is called the “Mountain Lake Sanctuary and Singing Tower.” What about Bok? I* •he forgotten? It makes oho humble to stand before beauty; it makes one more humble to realize how quickly the author of beauty is forgotten.

Mc- Carthy, Cohn, Adams, et al, in the current attempt to get to the bot tom of the Schine incident. Also here are some of the possible ans wers. QUESTION: Why did Senator McCarthy seriously believe that the Army should fear 27-year-old Roy Cohn? What was there that a 27- year-old lawyer could do to an organization that has never been defeated? Why did McCarthy sug gest to the army that it faced a ]c-\g-range fight with Cohn, if it didn't transfer Pvt. Schine to NeW York? It’s possible McCarthy thought Cohn could throw these influences against the army, or else he thought the army could be frightened into thinking so. ANSWER Cohn was an Intimate terms with Walter Winchell, and was the pipiline by which McCarthy got Winchell’s support And fed Winohell items. Cohn also has con tacts with right-wing columnist George Sokolsky and newspaper executive Dick Berlin, who formerly employed Dr. J. B. Matthews, the McCarthy Committee counsel who .wt* '* dropped after he alleged the Protestant clergy was riddled with Communists. QUESTION: Did Roy Cohn flex his muscles for Walter Winchell by calling James Wechsier, editor of the New York Post before the McCarthy Committee after Wech sier printed a-series of articles on Winchell. ANSWER: Wechsier is the only leading editor ever called before the McCarthy Committee. In news paper circles this crackdown was considered a Cohn move to curry favor with Winchell. QUESTION: Is McCarthy afraid of Roy Cohn? Why did McCarthy tell the army to show no favori tism to Schine when Cohn was absent, then reverse himself In Cohn’s presence? Why did Mc- Carthy make It clear to the army he didn’t Want Cohn to know he considered Schine a pest? Cohn Knew Buried Bodies Answer: Cohn knew all the secrets of the McCarthy investiga army and air forces and a U. S. Nhval landing force, supported by carrier alrcrAft and naval gunfite', dislodged a mythical enemy from the Iskendertin Bay area of east ern Turkey. During the second “Hellenic Sky One,” Greek troops trained side by side with men of the United States as the Sixth Fleet offered both sea and air support to com bat a mock enemy force which had landed on the Grecian mainland. CWIS jgf ! ; j T St KtJ I Ir % mkmM smart typist, could handle some other work u ~y ou other work ironjd here. tion. He knew all the bodies buried by the McCarthy Committee. He al - so knew the personal problems, had sat in on at least one conference where McCarthy debated what he should do about the' Las Vegas Sun and extraordinary allegations it published regarding his personal life which cannot be repeated here. In brief Cohn knew about all there was to know about McCarthy. QUESTION: What parts of the Cohn conversations with the army were censored? The army’s ori ginal report on the “Schine case’ was about 72 pages long, but only 34 pages were published. What was left out? Answer: Some of the language used by Cohn was unprintable. Al so In cases where John Adams, the army attorney, or his colleagues felt they might have had hazy memories, the portions of the record were omitted, EUROPEAN JUNKET QUESTION: Why the persistent attachment of Cohn for Schine? Why was he almost savage in his demands that Schine be transferred back to New York? Answer. The two have been in separable friends for some Bible.' Schine is 28 years ol S’, had had no important experience a* an in vestigator, served With the Mc- Carthy Committee without salary. COhn liked to have him around, took him to Europe on a trip that would have been comic had it not so disrupted U. S. relations. Re ported the Frankfurt Abehdpost During the Cohn-Schlne probe of Communism in Bonn the event occulted which IS still tee main topic of conversations. At 2:30 Mr. Schine announced he had put on the wrong trousers. A driver was sent to tee hotel to pick up the right ones. Mr. Schine put them on, then discovered his notebook was missing. He rushed back to the hotel with Mr. Cohn to look tor it. “In the hotel lobby it was ob served that Mr Schine batted Mr. Cohn ov!r the htad with a rolled - up magazine.

Yet he was so modest and shy teat he fed from Ms own coronation; The crowd was present but tee young king couldn't be ttudd. The Jab* two kings of England have a)so been stuttering, timid souls. ' Cato K-322: Saul, aged about 20, was a tall Hebrew lad of a wealthy family. He stood head and shoulders above other men, for he was a giant, much like George Mikan, our fa mous basketball star. Jehc/vah had told Samuel that Saul was to become the ».rst king of Israel. So Samuel informed Saul that he was to be’ anointed king. "Am not I of the smallest tribe of Israel?" Saul protested modest ly. “And is not my family the least cf all of the families in the tribe cf Benjamin? ‘‘Wherefore then speakest thou so to me?” he asked in surprise. But before starting the public coronation, Samuel called aU the 12 Tribes of Israel to come to gether, for this Was to be their first king. And when Samuel looked for Saul, Saul’was missing! Everything was ready for the coronation, but the new king was gonej And they couldn’t find him un til Jehovah revealed teat Saul was so shy that he had hidden himself among the baggage! SRY KINGS Many of Job teen-agers tell me your lives are miserable because you are so shy! Well, take heart. Everybody Is shy until he learns to become soc iable. And to prove that t am not Just reassuring you with Imaginary cases, I told you about toy own high school sons in yesterday’s Case Record. The day before, I described Clark the junior at Ohio State University, who was equally shy. And now I am citing the first king of Israel. Please remember, too, that Saul was a g.ant of a man, and not a peewee. So if brave, pow erful men are timid, you American teen-agers need not feel so uptot. Moses was also so shy he stuttered in public arid begged God to excuse him from the task of visiting Pha raoh’s courtroom. Demosthenes, the greatest orator of all history, was originally so shy he couldn’t speak above a whisper. He blushed and stuttered and was laughed to scorn by the first au dience that he tried to address. But he had courage, so he vowed he’d show ’em! Then he went down to the seashore and learned to shout against the roar of the waves thus getting the volume or loud ness needed. -» ’’ And to cure his stuttering, he placed pebbles in his mouth and became so preoccupied with keeping them out Of' his windpipe that he forgot his'stuttering. * ' CULTIVATE BOLDNESS Even - the recent Bings of Eng land have been stutterers, plus pug nacious Winston Churchill.
