Local News At Kindness Week Opened It is thus explicitly noted in the Bible that man not only has obligations to his fellow man, because both are creations of a common God; man also has obligations to animals, because they share in that common creation. Many prominent men through the ages have spoken out vigorously in behalf of ani mals. Noted spokesmen were Saint Francis and Dr. Albert Schweitzer, who regarded all life with reverence. Cardinal Newman once observed, “Cruelty to animals is as if we did not love God.” Humane “Lord - make me kind to helpless rm 99 The American Humane Association intro duced Humane Sunday in 1915 as a special time to remember the helpless — both children and animals — with kindness, compassion and de fense. Sunday also marked the first day of the 57th national Be Kind to Animals Week. Serv ing as National Kindness Chairman this year is Betty White, star of the TV series THE PET SET. Today more than 1,000 local animal pro tection agencies participate, stressing Abraham Lincoln’s thoughts when he said, “For, after all, the one meaning of life is to be kind.” In this area, the Transylvania Humane Society sponsors BKA Week. Mrs. James Curwen, local Society President, said that “Hu mane Sunday is an especially appropriate time to remember that kindness is the Golden Rule.” TRY THE TIMES CLASSIFIEDS Draft Board Closed, Will Reopen 10th The Local Daft Board Is closed for a brief vacation period. It closed on April 26th, and it will be closed on May 10th. This announcement eoemes from Mrs. Helen Peeler, the Executive Secretary of the Board. Senator Sam (Continued from Pare Two) school board to obey the Equal Protection Clause by violating it. Yet that is exactly the sub stance of the proposition sanc tioned by the Court in the Swann Case when it determin ed that children should be treat ed like pawns in a chess game and be admitted or denied ad mission to their neighborhood schools on account of their race. The Swann Case is disturb ing, tco, for the reason that the Court again seems to base its decision on what transpired in the era before the original Brown Case was rendered when Charlotte and Mecklenburg and many other areas had a history of statutory - imposed segrega tion, a condition which actual ly exists no more. The Chief Justice alludes to this in the closing paragraphs of his opin ion by holding out the uncer tain hope that at sometime be fore the last lingering echo of Gabriel’s horn trembles into ultimate silence the Charlotte Mecklenburg Board of Etlucea tion may be adjudged to have purged itself of the consequen ces of history, and be allowed the satne freedom to manage its sehool system which is ac corded by the Court to non Southern cities of our Nation. So the judicial processes have moved another step in the “ivory tower” game of sub jecting the public schcool sys 1 tem to the whims and caprices of Federal District Judges with , fewer. guidelines than Josh Billings’ mule which is said to have kicked according to no ' rules whatsoever. LETTERS to the EDITOR (Continued from Page Twn> as far as the sale of booze goes to help make it. There is one more thing, I would like to say. Policeman Rowe and Sheriff Hub bard and law officers' try hard to arrest all these drug abusers. The punishment is al ways so light they feel like they’ve had a party, ending with a big bowl of ice cream. Look at the light punishment one of the 11 boys got here in Brevard jail. Released on $1500 bond. Look at the punishment this same boy got-in Charlotte $50,000 bond af ter being caught for same charges. 00 per cent of all this drug abuse could be wiped out if they were punished heavily enough. Perhaps it means more money in someone elses’ pocket to let them go so freely. , I have lived in Brevard all my life and am very much concerned about the younger generation coming on. Knowing we have no more protection than this. I am beginning to be discouraged about a lot of things which could be prevented. Sincerely, Mrs. Jane Evett Rt . 1 Brevard, N. C. 28712 April 25, 1971 Mr. John Anderson. Editor The TRANSYLVANIA TIMES City Dear John: The tragic events of this past week in Transylvania have, I hope, brought about a soul - searclfn\g on the part of many par ents. Some are asking: why? why did these kids go wrong? how did we fail? what can we do? To parents who are aware (and some are not) that their teenagers are on drugs, either occasionally or habitually, I would ask for a few questions: How long since you put down your paper, or turned off the TV long enough to listen to your son or daughter tell you some thins that was important to them? How Ions since you gave up a game of golf, or bridge, to do something with them that they wanted to do? How long since you waited until they were out of the room before you got into a heated argument? How long since your family just sat around the table after dinner and just talk ed for an hour or two — about anything and everything? Is there anything going qn anytime, anywhere more important than you and your children? How long since you told your son or daughter that you loved them and they knew you really meant it? If you habitually, or even occasionally, depend on alcohol to relieve your boredom, or must take pills to get you to sleep and pills to got you going again in the morn ing, can you expect your children to do other than follow your example? The term “generation gap” is meaning less. On the other hand a very wide “com munication gap” does exist between many parents and their children. Parents arc fre quently so busy that their children ean’t get through to them so the kids just hang up — and become hung up — on drugs. There are others to whom they can go, for a price, who will help them forget for a time their frustrations and their feelings of being neither loved nor wanted. We hear much of “permissiveness”— of giving children too much of everything —freedom, money, ears, clothes. Is not this merely a fleeing from responsibility by the parents, a reluctance to exercise authority when needed, and sometimes say “no”? Children respect authority only when that authority is worthy of respect. But authority must he tempered with love. Children who are given complete freedom, and everyth*ng that money can buy, can neither respect their parents nor believe that their parents either love them or really care at all where their children are or what they are doing. So — they get into trouble. Sincerely yours, A. Douglas Wauehope FRY TIMES CLASSIFIED ADS FOR RESULTS Tomorrow. e That’s where you’re going’. _ Wherever you go, you’re going to tomorrow. Go free.
