A Salute .To The Girl Scouts In pur youth - oriented world, a 56th birthday might be better left Uncelebrated. Who wants to admit hieing more than 17-year-old these modern days? Well, a 55tfy birthday is being celebrated this week, not only with pride but with an eager anticipation of many more to come — the half century-plus-five anniversary of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. There’s been a long, long trail awinding from the 1912 era of the middy - blouse to that of the 1967 mini - skirt. Girl Scout hemlines aren’t that far up, of course, nor are those of most moderns. But the organization’s mood is on-the-move —as it has been through each chang ing generation. Consider the Girl Scouts’ new triennium theme: “Values to Hold -^-Worlds to Explore.” The values still are the solid values founder Juliette Gordon Low instilled in her original band of 12 girls: to seek and carry forth the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism and service. And the worlds to explore? Tangible worlds, of course—of home, community, nation, other cultures, other lands. But perhaps, more im portant, the worlds of Girl Scout values themselves. There’s a lot of questioning and questing going on among all of to day’s youngsters. Girl Scouts are no exception. And being more than three million strong they represent a mighty force among youth. So when they explore yesterday’s val ues in the light of today’s needs, they may come up with some mean ingful answers for all young people. Can girls be Girl Scouts and still be with it? The girls and the two - third mil lion adults, volunteers and profes sionals, who work with them believe they can. The communities which encourage and support them believe they can. So do we. And on this editorial birthday cake, we’re lighting 55 candles for the Girl Scouts — plus one more to grow on. Watch That Sore Throat Does your throat hurt? If so, you may console yourself with the knowledge that you have plenty of company. Sore throat is nature’s warning system that something in your body is out of order. Often p sore throat accompanies a common cold and the soreness passes in a few days. But, says To day’s Health, the family magazine of the American Medical Associa tion, sore throat also can be the symptom of any of a wide range of diseases, from diphtheria to luke mia, that require your physician’s skill, not your guessing, to diagnose. Sometimes tonsils and adenoids are involved in causing a sore throat, and when these organs repeatedly cause trouble they frequently are removed. Tonsil - adenoid removals account for half of all surgery per formed on children, Today’s Health reports. Sometimes the removal helps [prevent sore throat, sometimes it doesn’t. ^ jj| j|| Allergies can cause sore throats. Cold, dry winter air can trigger it. So can extreme thirst, excessive smoking or mouth breathing. Any thing that dries out the throat and cuts off secretions that normally wash dust away. Virus infections of many types al so are a cause of sore throat, and ev eryone who has had “flu” knows that this particular virus disease of ten causes the throat to hurt. “Strep throat” is a serious infec tion that ocaasionally leads to rheu matic fever and possible heart dam age. It can be knocked out with pen icillin, if it is diagnosed in time. The crucial diagnostic test in sore throats is the swab test through which the germs causing the trouble can be identified. There is little or nothing you can do to cure a sore throat at home.. There are medications which bring temporary easing of the discomfort but the cure must be launched by your physician. I * Plan For Spring, Clean-Up Now! Now that Spring is not too far away, why not make some definite plans for clean-trp, paint-up and fix up? And with all those ups, why not include some teardowns and burn downs. If there is unsightly trash or bfush, why not plan to burn that in early Spring? Needless to say care must be taken, but clean ashes look a lot better than some rubbish. Tear dbwn is also a good project for old, unsightly, unused buildings. If a building is usable, why not fix it up? If it is not Used and is unsightly, tear it <down. ,:The Spring of the year is the time nature does her best to dress the country-side up in green. It would be an easier job if some clean-up work was done in advance. Spring clean-up has long been a part of the community development program and this year it is a Special project of the travel and recreation division of the Northwest North Carolina Development Association. This should be an individual proj ect for every property owner. It may cost a little more than just the effort, but it will pay big dividends in health, beauty and safety. This is a beautiful county and this beauty can be enjoyed more, not only by the people who live here, but by visitors if the countryside and the buildings which cover it, along with fence rows, road sides and other 7.

Yet, I see that the Post Office Depart ment has instructed those who work at the stamp and money order windows to flash pretty smiles at the patrons. But you can tell whether or not the smile is genuine. If it’s the real thing, not only do the lips and teeth show it, but it’s also shown in the eyes. Eyes shine brightly with a sincere smile. If someone greets you with a smile— even if it doesn’t look like a “true-blue” one —bear in mind that his job might require him to smile, even though he has the stomach ache and the books don’t balance! • * • We often hear about a man helping a boy, but we hear so little about a boy help ing a man. Mrs. John W. Wells has received a letter from her son, Ensign E. Warner Wells on the USS Hollister off the coast of Vietnam. The Naval officer, a former Boy Scout in Smithfield, wrote to his mother: “I received a letter from Herbie Taylor, a Boy Scout from Smithfield. His letter is very dear to me. I appreciate it so much. He sent me an American Flag, and I intend to have it sewn on my foul-weather jacket.” Mrs. Wells said she and the other mem bers of her family would like to thank the Boy Scouts of Smithfield for taking the time to write her son and the other service men. Pick of the Press Religion, Trading Stamps Wouldn't Mix Zelienople (Pa.) News-Record The Texas minister who offered trading stamps to all who attended his Sunday Serv ice admitted ruefully that the idea was not a howling success. Only the same old faithful were in the receiving line as he stood at the church door and the experiment will not be repeated. It was, however, a good try and the pastor was on sound ecclesiastical grounds. The Psalmist says, “There is a reward for the righteous.” In Kings I, it is written, “Come ... I will give thee a reward.” But on the other hand, Deuteronomy warns: “Cursed be he that taketh reward.” Apparently the road to heaven is not to be paved with trading stamps.

LOBSTER RED /a ■ ¥ SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYS * WASHINGTON — Wiretap ping and electronic eavesdrop ping have become matters of renewed Congressional concern in recent days. On February 8th Senator Long of Missouri introduced the proposed Right of Privacy Act of 1967 to prohibit wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping of an interstate character, a meas ure which I have cosponsored. Actually the subject is not a new one for the Senate. When I first became Chairman of the Constitutional Rights Subcom mittee, we undertook an inves tigation of wiretapping. I found that like so many subjects that not all the truth is an one side and all the error on the other. Crime is on the increase almost everywhere in the country, and there is a strong argument that wiretaps be permitted in certain instances. On the contrary, since the days of antiquity, and before we had telephones and electro nic devices, people have resent ed eavesdroppers who listened outside their homes to private conversations and spread them throughout the community. In the field of criminal law, it was a common law offense to “har ken under the eaves of another man’s house and repeat his con versations.” The offender was punished at the ducking stool in the presence of the commun ity as a “common scold.” Now we have the old problem in aggravated form. Communi cations devices have become re. fined so that conversations can be heard at great distances, and the Subcommittee on Adminis trative Practices has uneaigfced some unbelievable instance of abuse of the right of privacy by these devices. The problem goes beyond evidence sought to be obtained by the wiretap. Usually conver sations relate not only to the evidence sought to be obtained by this means, but to many pri vate affairs and many innocent people. The Subcommittee has found that the Internal Rev enue Service has been guilty of some gross invasions of privacy in its efforts to obtain informa tion about tax cases. Thus the problem with tha “right of privacy” and the bill on this subject is one of bal ancing privacy rights against society’s rights. .The Long bill would prevent wiretapping except in national security cases. I would go fur ther than the Long bill in some respects if the decision was left to me alone. I would require a Federal court order to permit wiretaps in national security cases rather than permitting such decisions to be made by the Executive Department, and I expect to offer an amendment to the bill to present my vjejws in this respect. I would adSo permit wiretapping by Federal —Turn to Page f?Mil THE EVERYDAY COUNESLOR BY DR. HERBERT SPAUGH “What is spiritual healing? It is difficult from faith healiiro” A correspondent raises this question. There’s no better authoj^Jy on the subject than the Reverend Dr. Alfred Price, head of the Order of St. Luke the Physician of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Dr. Price spoke recently on this subject to the faculty and student body of Ashbury Theological Seminary at Wilmore, Ken tucky. “Spiritual healing,” he said, “Is not mere absence of disease, but wholeness of body, mind, and soul. It is the complete salva tion of body, mind, and spirit .... Nearly all our sickness, mis fortunes, and difficulties in life are the results of destructive sug gestion in the depths of our personalities which is either acquired or inherited. “Real healing is always spiritual healing. A medical doctor can only treat the symptom which is only the child of the deeply held destructive suggestions. “Faith healing may have some temporary effect, but this does not reach the beginning of the trouble. The church’s ministry of healing looks to the inner depths of personality.” Dr. Price puts his finger upon the heart of the matter when he says that the primary purpose of spiritual healing is not to make unhappy people happy, or sick people well, or poor people rich, or to solve problems, or to create healthier social conditions. These are the results, not the primary purpose. « “The primary object is to help realize the presence of M>d, to get acquainted with Him.” We talk about God, sing about Him, preach about Him, pray to Him, but very few take time and trouble to get acquainted with Him. Spiritual healing is the cleansing of spirit or soul, the mind, and the body. By the divine power of God, body, and spirit are unified, interdependent, inter-related. The condition of one affects and is affected by the other two. Every word that you speak requires a harmonious use of more than 72 muscles. Good health is not and can never be purely absence of disease. Good health is the har monious operation of every single organ of the body, every thought of the mind, and every motion of the heart. This is the principle underlying the newest phase of medical science and is as old as Jesus Christ Himself.
