Entered as second-class matter in the Post Office In Dunn,
C., under the laws of Congress, Act of March 3. 187 ft
Every afternoon, Monday through Friday.
Dunn's Tri-Weekly Submits
Tq P. O. Department Order
Dunn’s tri-weekly newspaper has finally complied
with a Post Office Department order to remove from its
:ront page the claim that it leads the county in paid cir
culation and reader interest.
Instead of doing so in a sportsmanlike manner and
with good grace, however, it let loose in a bitter three-col
omn, front-page editorial in which it tried unsuccess
!uliy, pi course to impugn the integrity of this news
paper.
It is most unfortunate that any business competitor
:annot recognize the achievements of another in a spirit
pf good will without resentment, bitterness and animos
ity..
. The Daily Record always has enough problems of its
pwn and is too busy trying to render service to the pub
lic to take notice of any of its competitors. It is seldom
;hat we pay them any attention at all.
We felt it our duty to publish the news story that the
Post Office Department had ordered discontinuance of the
false claim. The story originated in the Washington bu
reau of the United Press, which recognized the action as
worthy of a news story.
The Daily Record had been notified previously of the
action being taken by the Post Office Department by Post
' master Ralph Wade, who sent us a copy of the letter.
The Record, as a matter of courtesy, withheld publi
. »tion of the story for more than a week in order to give
rhe Dispatch an opportunity to comply with the Post Of
fice order, but it failed to do so until after the story was
published.
It was not until after the story was broken by the
United Press in Washington that we published the fact.
Newspaper advertising is sdlicitated and sold on the
basis of advertising; which also determines the price, and
the false claim by our competitor solely for
the purpose of putting this newspaper to a business dis
advantage.
In order to attain the position of leadership which
we now hold not only in circulation, but in advertising
volume and in other departments The Daily Record put
forth great effort and days and nights of work.
[1 ""“ In order to give our advertisers the largest circula
; tion, we conducted two highly successful subscription cam
: paigns at a cost of more than $12,000 in cold cash.
Our efforts would be in vain if we allowed a competi
s tor to dispute our superiority in this field. That is merely
’ the law of economics and sound business.
Because this wrong was corrected the town’s other
- newspaper not' only saw fit to attempt to deride us but
also the local post Office. We thought the insinuation
against the Dunn Post Office was extremely unkind and
uncalled for.
finally, the opposing editorial tries to dig an old skel
eton out Os the (jlpset and proceeded to tell a half-truth in
, connection with a Post Office Investigation of this news
paper which it instigated in The Daily Record’s earlier
|t is absolutely true that our circulation files were
investigated by the Post Office Department. The Record
showed so much growth and progress our competitor
couldn’t stand it v so th£y called in postal inspectors.
The inspectors found only one discrepancy in our
circulation claims and that discrepancy resulted from a
postal technicality so fine that a railing had to be ob
tained from Washington.
When The Record first began publication, a local ad
vertiser tfho wanted to help the paper get started ordered
. 1,500 subscriptions for his customers. The subscriptions
were'paid for in a strictly legal and legitimate transac
tion.'..’
But the Post Office Department finally ruled and
we have no quarrel whatever with the ruling that these
1,508 subscribers could not be counted as “paid circula
tion because the recipients did not personally order and
p*y the subscriptions.
The fact remained that the circulation was in effect;
we published and delivered the number of newspapers
claimed; our advertisers were given the circulation claim
ed.
Only The Daily Record was the loser and we lost
by a mere toctateafity which prevented us. from includ
ig these 1,500 among our paid subscribers. Subsequently,
we Were required to publish an amended statement. We

WASHINGTON. Half kidding,
hall serious. Sen. Joe McCarthy of
fered to Join the forces the other
day with Oregon’s busshy-browed
Sen. Wayne Mots*, the Maverick
Republican who formed nrs own in
dependent party.
It’s no news that McCarthy has
been taking a beating from his fel
low Republicans and resents it.
Sen. Ralph Flanders, the Vermont
Yankee, has National Committee
will no longer book speeches for
him. President Eisenhower, him
self, has taken several indirect cuffs
at McCarthy. Even Joe’s old oa!.
Sen. Homer Ferguson of Michigan,
has invited him to stay out cf
Michigan.
Smarting from these GOP at
tacks, Joe barged up to Morse on
the Senate floor, wrapped a hus
ky arm around his shoulders, and
boomed: “Wayne’ you are about to
get another member for your par
ty!”
“Joe,” replied Morse dryly, “That
is the worst news I have beard all
year.”
“I didn’t come over to get insul
ted,” snapped McCarthy, his brow
darkening. “But if that’s the way
you feel about it. I’ll form my
own party.”
“Joe, You’ve already got it,” re
torted the Oregon independent.
OWL VS. MACKEREL
It was censored out of the pub
lic record, but two Southern Demo
crats traded picturesque insults the
other day on the House flood. Con
gressman James Prioleau Richards
of South Carolina was striving vain- '
ly to explain the merits of for
eign aid to his colleague, Congress
man John Bell Williams of Missis
siipp. Fnally. Richards snorted in
disguest: “I would like to say for
the benefit of the gentlemen from
Mississippi that he reminds me very
much of the old swamp owl down in
one of those Mississippi swamps. The
more light you shine in his eyes the
blindeT he gets.”
“And you remind me of a dead
mackerel lying on the beach in the
sun!” shouted Williams of Missis
sippi.
PROBING THE ROCKEFELLERS
Real story behind the dramatic
shutdown of the congressional in
vestigation of “foundations” was
that Republican leaders ordered-
Chairman Carroll Reece of Tennes
see to call a halt, because of em
barrassing publicity against some
Os the best friends of the Republi
can party the Fords and the
Rockefellers.
Also, the GOP leaden were chaf
ing under the merciless ridicule of
Democratic congressman Wayne
Hays of Ohio.
Hays had insisted from the start
that the probe of the Fords, Rock
efellers, and other foundations be
cause of alleged “pro-Communistic”
or “socialistic" leanings was non
sensical and a waste of the tax
payers’ money. Reece, a dye4-in
the-wool anti - Elsenhower Re
publican and former pro-taft Chair
man of the National Committee,
was reported still nursing a grudge
against the Fords, the Rockefellers,
and other heavy backers of Ei
senhower.
Actually the investigation com
mittee contributed to its own down
fall when a precocious staff as
sistant described as "pro-Communis
tic” an encyclical of Pope Leo XHL
Behind closed dours, Reece ex
ploded violently, charging that Hays
had “trapped" the staff assistant,
Thomas McNeice, into making ’ the
faux pas. Hays had quoted the en
cyclical to McNeice, without telling
him what H was or saying that
Pope Leo had written It.
paper saw fit to attack the personal character and hon
esty of the editor of The Daily Record.
The editor of The Daily Record is a roan who has
spent his entire life in the Town of Dunn except for six
months spent on The Charlotte Observer and service in
the Air Force.
He has worked on two large newspapers, the Char
lotte Observer and The Indianapolis Star, without being
fired from either. He has never been asked to resign from
any job; he has never left one Job without going to a big
ger position. No charge of dishonesty has ever been lev
eled against him; he has never had to leave any town-
Except for a few tickets for traffic violations, neither tn
editor nor any member of his family has a court record.
And yet, a competitor —. bitterly ’and ruthlessly
would have you believe that the editor of this newspaper
is a man who cannot be trusted. We’re willing to let the
public judge the reputation and character of and com
pare the editor of this newspaper with that of the news
paper which seeks to castigate him.
Frankly, we don’t epjoy being forced to write an edi
torial like this, it is distasteful; but we feel it our duty to
give the public the true facts.

shot back Hays, “but Tm not re
sponsible for the people you hire
around here.”
“Well, I don’t think your misuse
of encyclicals can be condoned," ac
cused Reece in a secret session.
“That’s your opinion,” counterd
Hays. “The Encyclical I quoted from
was opposed both to communism and
the exploitation of laboring people.
There are a tot of people, includ
ing Popes, who have spoken out a
gainst bed social conditions. That
doesn’t make them communists or
socialists, just because they are
worried about social conditions and
want to improve them. The same
applies to these foundation* estab

They are not communistic either.”

Adoptive Parents Burden 15- g
year-Old With Chores, Prohibit
Any Social Activities 1:
DEAR MARY HAWORTH: lam s
a girl 15, going on 16. I am an c
adopted child and have had a hard
time with my parents. Mother and
daddy seem to be against me.
They won’t allow me to have any
of my friends over to the house,
even when they are home. They
wop’t allow me to go anywhere at
all; they Just keep me penned up
at home the whole time.
While 1 am in school mother is
home all day, and won’t do any
thing but sit around. When I get
home from school I am tired, but
she starts nagging at me to wash
the mid-day dinner dishes and get
the housework done. I also have
to mow the lawn- do the washing
and ironing, and get supper and,
after that, toy to do my homework.
By the time I get all the house
work done, I am too tired to think
about my‘ studies, so my “home
work” for school is neglected. Then
when the report cards are issued,
mother blames me for getting poor
grades. But is it any wonder?
I have a boy /fiend at school who
would like to visit me at home,
but my parents won’t let him. They
say they aren’t going to let me
marry that means never. Rich
ard is very understanding though.
Another thing, my adopting par
ents won’t let me see my real fa
ther (My mother died when I was
two years old.) Please help me if
you can. Perhaps some other girls
have a similar problem. V. Y.
Parents Too
Are Isolated
DEAR V. Y.: In spite of a tough
situation, you sound more reflec
tive than bitter, which indicates
a basically healthy nature. I be
lieve the picture you paint is
roughly true, or you wouldn’t have
reached so far out for help in the
matter.
Evidently your parents are tak
ing selfish advantage of their claim
to you, possibly on the theory that
they deserve repayment, in labor,
for the outlay of care they have
given you. If so, this is contrary
to the policy of loving-kind 'real
parents, who do their utmost to
give their children a chance at a
good start in life on the morally
sound theory that they owe good
nurture to the life they have begot.
Perhaps your mother’s ill-formed
. idea of a proper or dutiful daugh
ter ia a girl who bends her back >
to the mother’s tasks, who takes
the mother’s load upon herself in
large part. In any case, her habit
of spending her days just sitting,
in the midst of neglected chores
she saves lor you, suggests that
she is a half-sick personality
depressed, unduly dependent and
isolated from society. Thus without
means of knowing how normal par
ents treat thei rchildren.
Family Bureau
May Be Helpful
Very likely she takes no interest
in church or community projects,
hence has no cooperative inter
change with other women in group
activities to counterbalance her
homebody routine. Consequently
she is stale, discouraged, embittered,
perhaps, and envious of your youth
and school - contracts — therefore
makes you a badgered slave to her
chronic misery, at the day’s end.
Freon my view, your mother’s at
titude h unfair to you. Hut it is
safe to say that if she knew better,
or fatt better, she would do bet
ter. The question, therefore, Is how
to spur bar to gake bold of life, as
, it were, and live it more success
fully -T- so that she will be hap
pier, healthier and kinder to you.
You will need adult help »t first
hand, in this undertaking, and my
advice is confide your difficul

(county) Family and Children’s
Bureau: in your. city. Get the ad

WORRY
CLINIC
By Dr.
George W. Crane
Gwen’s boy friend is B 0 bat he is
still Juvenile emotionally. About
50% of American boys stompode
Just u ke timid sheep. For they
are “dying” to be thought older
and more mature than they really
are. Girls, beware of fearful boys
who are going thru the 4 emo
tional stages described below.
Case H-337: Owen 0., aged 17, 1$
a talented high school senior
“Dr. Crane. I have been going
with a boy for two years,” she began.
“He is in the Navy now, but will
be home soon on leave. He knows
I try to be a Christian and has al
ways treated me fine until the last
time he was home.
“Then he tried to talk me into
giving myself to him completely,
even though we aren’t married.
“I told him I would not do so.
But he argued that I was old fash
ioned. He said all the girls indulge
in premarital affairs nowadays.
"So I am confused. Dr. Crane. He
will be home again in a few weeks
and I know he will be more insistent
than ever for he says all the men
ever talk about in (he Navy are
their sex conquests."
MOB PSYCHOLOGY
When children want to cofrcs
their parents into getting them a
bicycle, they exclaim “All the kids
have bicycles.”
Or if they want anything else
which their parents oppose, they
try to stampede those parents- with
similar mob psychology by stating
positively that “all the other kids
get to stay up later at night than
I do, etc.”
Gwen’s boy friend probably hasn’t
dated 10 different girls in his out
tire life, so his experience is very
meager.
And centainly most of those 10
have probably permitted him to paw
them unduly or indulge in illicit
affairs.
For smart girls, even of high
school age, realize that boys often
try to use girls simply to flatter
their own ego.
Just as boys smoke to ‘
show what big, he-men they are,
and Just as they use liquor and pro
fanity to try to prove that they
have outgrown the “little boy" stage
and are now big shots, so they try
to coerce girls sexually.
GROWTH SYMBOLS
For the average boy stampje desjust
like silly sheep. And the thing he
shims is the idea that he is a£Uj
little instead of a great big he-man.
So he grabs on to every symbol
which he thinks wil} prove to the
world that he 1$ really mature,
grown-up and sophisticated.
Profanity, tobacco, liquor and saf
ual affairs are the four commqn
yardsticks which teen-age boys' in
dulge in as they strata to "pto**’’
that they are no longer boys-
You girls must never forget those
four symbols! For a boy who starts
using oths to shock his classmates
in grammar school, will very likely
be sucking on a cigaret soon there
after.
And the youthful cigaret smoker,
is prone to take a drink of liquor
and even boast about “How tight I
was lost night.”
