Practical Chaser Of
A Practical Dream
Haloes, or apparent ones, sometimes come easy. Off
hand, we could name quite a number of persons who have
fancy titles as this, that or the other, and enjoy a good
deal of prestige thereby. That’s fine, and no sense kicking
about it, but this wholesale traffic In titles sometimes di
minishes the lustre of a real achievement.
Let us point out, then, that the halo which has come
to Harnett’s Superintendent of Schools Glenn Profflt is
not made from lead or brass. His election as a director
from the North Central District to the North Carolina Ed
ucate n Association is an important post, and it is grati
fying to his friends and well-wishers of the Association
generally that Profflt has been named.
These are trying times for school superintendents.
Shortages in teachers and money are sufficiently rugged
that even President Eisenhower has taken time out to
discuss it with the whole nation, and devotes much ol
his time to a study of the measures needed. The segre
gation issue, with its many portents for the future, must
necessarily enter into a superintendent’s thoughts. More
important than either of these — and sometimes less
stressed — is the ages-old question of what should the
child be taught and how, where and when and In what
manner can this best be done.
No superintendent can long endure who has not giv
en these matters serious thought. Glenn Proffit has been
a superintendent a long time, and those who know him
best realize how much he brings to the job. These skills
— this understanding — make him a good man to deal
with' problems that arise and are considered by the Edu
cation Association.
Glenn Proffit is a school leader, modem style, but he
stands for enduring values. That is what the good man in
education has done, is doing, must do. He is the practical
chager of a practical dream- t

Clark Cried After
Signing Armistice
NEW YORK (IP) — Gen. Mark W. Clark cried after
he returned home from signing the Korean armistice
which he believed to be ‘‘an historic mistake,” his wife
said today.
Writing in the current issue of
the Woman's Home Companion
Mrs. Clark described an intimate
scene hi which Clark showed the
strain under which he had been
during months of armistice nego

She said that when she, Joined

worth the cost in lives to go all

“They all agreed the war could

Wayne recommended to Washing
ton that the decision be made to
make the effort necessary to win
the war.
“But the decision went the other
way.”
Mrs. Clark, in the second install
ment of her memoirs, "Captain’s
Bride—Oeneral’s Lady.” recalled
when Clark returned to Tokyo after
signing the armistice.
"He threw his arms around me
and kissed jne" she said. “Then

IT WASN’T POJJTE
“Now Judge Strickland said the
church he belongs to erases names
when members go to another faith,
another denomination. Since the
Second Baptist doesn’t recognize us
as being a church, that’s why they
erased tfce names. I think out of
courtesy they could have issued let

The feud between members of
the new church and the old has
not been marked by politeness. It
first came to public notice when
six members, most of whom now
belong to the Community Baptist
Church, were kicked out by vote of
the congregation. An anti-oustipg
faction quickly assembled, challeng

congregation when a move to fire
Keller failed.

Myers
(Continued from Pace One)
Myers said he believed that com
mittee members were “enraged and
frustrated” because he and some
other ’ witnesses were represented
by counsel. The tact that be had
been able to secure a North Caro
lina attorney, he said, was a real
victory.
HOW HE LANDED LAWYER
Before the hearings, the lanky
and studious-looking prof had
complained that lawyers he talked
to were free with advice but de
clined to represent him. His pub
lished statement — “It 1 were an
axe murderer, they'd probably wade
through blood to get the case -
brought him a letter from Attorney
James D. Gilliland of Warren ton.
Gilliland, who once roomed with
Myers when the two were going to
Wake Potest, told him he would be
glad to represent him. Myers said.
In a typed statement which he
called bis “Farewell Address" to
Campbell College, Myers said, “Al
bert Einstein, who saw what hap
pened ip his native Germany when
the people allowed themselves to be
terrorised into giving up their
ghrtngu contheirp oandbr o- ((dthat
constitutional rights, advised us all
before his death to resist to the
full the invasion of our liberties by
agencies of government. This I
have done and shall continue to
do.
“All xpy political activities have
been in the interest of peace, free
dom and justice. In spite of the
efforts of the committee to intim
idate me, I shall continue to think
what I please, associate with whom
I please and join any organisation
which I believe will further those
interests.
“Living and working with you
(students and faculty members at
Campbell) has been one of the
richest experiences of my life. I
have tried to teach you rrepect for
reason and science, belief in the
future of mankind, the oneness of
the human species, the brother
hood of man under the fatherhood
of God."
Ending this statement with, '1
love you evdry one, and vaya con

always tire that song to teach the
subjunctive in Spanish.”
