Carter's Column GOOD IDEA: The good neighbor visit by the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce group to Loris last week for a luncheon with no speakers and no motives other than Just good will was an excellent idea. It's the kind of meeting that will tie those communities together better and might well be practiced between Tabor City and Loris as well as Tabor City and the other muni cipalities of Columbus. WEATHER: By the time we go to press it may be cold as blazes but up through the time of this writing, we have never aeen better November weather. Perhaps the law of average is just balancing out the terrible winter of 1957. FISH: Just about the time most folks are hanging up fresh water fishing gear, Hosea Gore, Bill Young and Venoy Stephens make a record catch at Lake Tabor. Maybe this is a good omen and perhaps things arc picking up at the millpond so a lot of folks will catch some fish right here in our backyard. That trio is made up of capable fishermen, however, and just any of us amateurs may not be able to enticc the fish to bite. YAMS: We cannot stress too strongly the need for more local; farmers getting into the sweet potato growing business next year on a larger scale if possible. Some sections, even in the Carolinas.' now has farmers with hundreds of acres as they streamline and assembly line yam production. Our farmers can't get into it that! large because in most instances the farms are not that large but we do have to have more vclume in this section if we are to successfully continue in the yam business. And now is the time! to start thinking about the acreage and the procurement of good, certified seed. CHRISTMAS: Once upon a tune Christmas merchandise started getting on the retail shelves along after Thanksgiving. Now it beats the turkey day bv a couple of weeks. It certainly sets the pace as the leading retail season of the year. Here atj Tabor City there is every indication that the Christmas selection displayed by local merchants will be as fine and perhaps larger; than ever before. It is, thus time, to again call the public's at tention to the need for shopping at home this Christmas. There's; not much need for trapsing all over the country for Christmas gifts. The selection at home is wide enough and in almost every price range and folks would do well to keep their spending as near home as possible. SORRY: While crediting other organizations in town with the part they played in the Yam Festival, we neglected to men tion the Tabor City Woman's Club at the annual Progress Dinner last week. It was certainly an oversight on our part. The Wo-, man's club assisted with the arrangements and sold the tickets for the Public Relations Dinn« r. Too. the Tabor City Garden Club provided the table decorations and the festival committee is grateful for their services. FLIES: My coha rt Al Harrison has a mania for flies, we be lieve. At any rate, since tin· weather has been a little cooler, he spends a great deal of time spraying up the office with some awful smelling stuff. Says the flies are bothering him. VITAMIN'S: We don't know whether its the vitamins or not but this fall we started feeding our children vitamins every «lay and lo and behold neither has come down with a bad colli yet The stuff is expensive but if it will keep the colds awav, it\ worth it. HUMOR: A Myrtle Beach undertaker introducing himself to a group last week said: "I'm so and so, from Myrtle Beach, in the funeral directing business, we let you down easy." VISIT: Roger Earp. who is associated with radio station WTAB here, is about as nice a guy as you ever run across. Roger usually drops by the office on Wednesday for a paper and last! week we had the pleasure of showing him through the print' shop. He wasn't aware of just how a newspaper gets put togeth er, printed and on the streets. Like we told Roger at the time. | the newspaper business is kind of glamourous the fir.st few weeks you try. Thereafter, it's work, like everything else. i —-· Editorials . . THE SEARCH BEGINS The Tabor City Jaycees are begin ning the task of finding Columbus County's most outstanding young farmer. Two years ago the search revealed a young farmer, Ralph Jolly, who proved not only the best Columbus County possessed but also the best in North Carolina. ι Ir a highly agricultural area it is appropriate that the outstanding farmer be paid tribute. It is upon his shoulders that our future rests most squarely. When the outstanding farmers become scarce so will the hopes for our future economy. The public is invited to submit nominations for this award. The only requirement is that the farmers be between the ages of 21 and 30. The public should be responsive to this fine project. We salute the Jaycees for this pro gram that honors the men who form the backbone of our economy in Columbus County. ITS GOOD TO LOOK BACKWARDS The recent successful "progress banquet" served many purposes but most important was the drawing to gether of civic workers for a continue cause — that of looking backwards and appraising the progress that hail been made. it's good to look over our shoulders once iii a while. It often gives us strengt η and encouragement lor won. to be done in the future. The field of progress remains an open one with hard work the only obstacle in the way of success. l'erhaps we will all see the day when such another "progress br li quet" unl find us abie lo recall me effort exerted 111 building a hr- pi...l. recreation center and library. Γίκ·ιν will be other needs in Tabor t i'.. growth but so long as there are cui zens willing to devote the time ίο; planning, organizing and executing the necessary projects we will not le at a standstill. IN PEACE AND iiV Ws\R lias incredibly fast international air travel, the prospect oi space ve!iic!i>, and other such modern phenomena undermined the importance of tin merchant ship7 A top authority. Admiral Arleigh A. Burke, t hief of Naval Operations, says N(). In fact. Admiral Hurke describes a ship as the most flexible, versatile and economical mode of transporta tion the world has ever known. II«· adds: "The sea reaches ail i-iaiuis ami continents on earth, where people » live, fight and do business. Ships can carry large quantities of people and goods over the homogeneous surface of the oceans." Noting that last year this country exported one fifth of the world's total export trade of $100 billion, the Ad miral continued: "We are heavily de pendent on the sea, and this demands that we not only control the sea but also that we have the means to use those seas. This means ships under effective American control. "Both in peace and in war, a strong American Merchant Marine is essen tial to the strength and well-being of our country." Government policy, as laid down by the legislative and administrative branches, is geared to building aud maintaining that kind of U. S. flag Merchant Marine. It is a policy that the hard and inescapable facts of life in today's world make essential. PRICED OUT OF JOBS According to U. S. News & World Report, a union-owned newspaper in Stockholm recently ran this headline: "We need lower wages." The reason is that Swedish firms have been losing «»lit in export markets, largely because of high wages. So, as U. S. News puts it, the unions "prefer to see jobs, rather than higher wages but no jobs." No one expects our own unions to ask for lower wages. Hut it's time they thought in terms of restraint in wage and other demands. American business, no less than foreign business, can be priced out of markets. If and when that happens, the workers arc priced out of jobs. WELL DESERVED TRIBUTE Staging ol' the annual Community Development awards banquet is sim ply another means of paying tribute to the progressive communities in this area. Observance of development in these communities through this program has long justifie »lits existence. The community development pro gram has brought together people in rural areas who had lost contact n^t only with each other but also contact with their responsibilities in making their community a better place in which to live and raise ther families. We salute those communities who have prospered through their collec tive efforts and feel certain that each member of the program is proud of the part he has played. "The formula for success is simply putting the right people in the right jobs and then sitting on the sidelines and being a damned good cheer leader."—A Marshall Jones. nigh Point Versus Erskine In Cage Tili At Local Gym Τ ι»r» ί - L·..·!. π :»» ·· · a chance t·· watch two collegt teams here Friday, November 28. when High Point College meets Erskine College.

Bar Association) AITEKED CONTRACTS Is a contract void if there are obvious alterations or changes appearing on its face? No, not necessarily. The alter nations or change may have been done by one of the parties prior to its signing and delivery. If, so, the contract is valid and enforceable in its altered or changed appearance. If a written document con tains alterations or interlinea tions, the presumption in North Carolina is that they were made before its execution and deliv ery. The burden of proof is on the party assailing the docu ment to prove that the interlin eations or erasures were made after its execution. Many states, contrary to North Carolina, hold that when a writ ing offered in evidence shows on its face an alteration, there is a presumption that the alteration was improperly made after the execution of the instrument, and that, therefore, a burden is cast upon the party offering the writing to explain the alteration before the writing can be re ceived in evidence. Jones and Smith enter into a| written contract for the sale and purchase of an automobile, j Smith subsequently makes η fraudulent and material altera tion in the writing containing! the contract. What is the legal· effect of the unauthorized alter-ι ation of the contract? Smith does not have any en-j forceable rights. The law im-| !poses this severe penalty as a jsafeugard against tampering [with written instruments. uuiiu, mi* iiiiioceiii party, nasi la choice <»f remedies. Ho can (elect tn bo discharged from thi· ^ contract or he can enforce it ac cording to its original form. But 'if he elects to go through with' a the contract under its original terms, he must perform the dut jics that would have been incum-', 'bent on him if there had been I no alteration. One party cannot by altera tion'destroy the rights of anoth- *' ,if without hi.-- consent, ι An ordinary contract is nut J1 ι affected by an alteration that is 1 not material, by one made by a stranger to the instrument, or by one that is accidental or is made innocently without a fraudulent purpose. ,, j Λ more rigorous rule has been jmade applicaole to negotiable j [instruments. These are instru- . (merits, such as check:- and prom-' " jissory notes, which contain ur.- '' [conditional promises or orders to pay a specified sum of money to 1 the order of a specified person j lor bearer. Any material altera-' <i ition of a negotiable instrument ,, discharges any party whose ob-, ,, ligation is affected by it. except [as against an innocent subsequ-' . lent holder in due course who J can recover on the instrument ' according to its original tenor, 'without regard to who made the [alteration or the motive for Ί .making it. ' The serious crimp of forgery is committed it a person materi-' j ally alters any kind of writing , with a fradulent intent.

"Tomorrow we will go to Africa. Each of you think of something tonight that you want to take with you on the trip," said the teacher. The next day it came time for geography. One youngster was going to take apples. Another peaches. Another was taking his Bible. ' Ο But when the teacher got to one little girl the complexion of the trip changed. "1 an't gonna take nuthing!" said the girl. "Why?" asked the teacher. , "Cause my Momma said I couldn't go!" SISTERLY LOVE The two kids were making the "trick or treaV rounds. You couldn't recognize them for their eosttLies. But just to mal e sure everyone knew what the score was at one home the big sister (five years old) ivas the spokesman. "I'm Jean. This is my little brother Bill. He has to go to the bathroom!" HUNGRY METHODISTS The family night "covered dish" supper at the Methodist Church last week was enjoyable. Never have 1 seen so much food for such a »-yla ively small group. ι Never have 1 seen food go so quickly. Proof that folks are almost as hungry for food is for religion. ι SLIP OF THE SPEECH It has l:eon so long since the street markers were 'ret ted that one almost forgets who did it. I thought the Jaycees did it. So did a lot of Jaycees. m> «lid a lot of other people. Hut truth of the matter is that tin· Civitatis dO it. Guess tin· Civitatis bettor start blowing their horns ι bit louder. NO COMPROMISE IN SIGHT The state line shooting of late has seen each side λ anting their story told. For three weeks running it litis been one side igninst the other. (Jot so confusing that one side approached the »tiler, so I'm told, and agreed to quit coining t<·· the rriluine if the other would agree. For certain the hearing will !>e a real corker. IT RAN IN THE FAMILY Passed along a rural road the other day and oticed a man in the middle of a field diligently giving ro;ul and reel a workout. II«- rast with :ill his might UMi reeled ii. his baited line. Again he cast and reeled ι. II«· repeated the ordeal without paying any at •ntion to me. 1 drove to the next farm without speaking t«Ohe ishernian. In talking with the farmer who lived nearby I ffered — "It's none of my business but somebody light to help that fellow up there who stands in the liddle of his field easting and reeling in." "Yeah. I know. He's my brother. I've been watch ig him. And if he doesn't jr*» in the house pretty soon in gonna take the boat and go get him!" The money you spend in other towns doesn't ^lp 'abor City's progress in the least. Same folks who get themselves on begging conirr.il •es for worthy causes and call <>n the merchants are t'ten the same ones who buy most of their merchaIi is«· out of town. Doesn't make sens«' but it happens. Quickest way to a man's heart is through your heck book. It once was food that got you there but leu are leaning more every day to marriages that ave built in financial security. "j Biggest trouble about understanding the world to ay is that the people who make up the world aren't cry understanding. It's not difficult to be 40 but it's pretty tough to dmit it. wt POUR & FINISH ANY SIZE CONCRETE JOB Contact Us Before You Buy!
