Carter's Column ιιαπα: Again we had the pleasure of attending the Wacca maw Bank and Trust Company annual stockholders meeting last week. While we hold no bank stock, we have attended this gath ering regularly for many years and find it a real inspiring meet ing. It is a meeting that every year shows a steady climb in busi-j ncas and progress of a fine banking chain. Agyin this year, like all the years in the past that we know about, the bank showed a gain in number of depositors, amount of money, profits, surplus and in general great progress. Then to emphasize the continued growth of the organization.1 bank officials announced at the meeting the approval by the State Banking Commission of a branch at Riegelwood to better! serve the Riegel Paper Company and its employees. While no bank and no other firm has 100 percent friends, we believe the Waccamaw Banks have as great a percentage as any financial institution almost anywhere and as far as we are ton ctrned. Tabor City is fortunate to have the organization handling' the money business of the community. We certainly wish for them continued progress in every; phase of the operation. JAYCEES: The Junior Chamber of Commerce in Burlington.' N. C.f certainly tackled a unique project a few years ago. Theyl were telling us about it up there Monday night when we spoke at their annual Bosses Night and OSA Banquet. Several years ago they were needing to make some money ι for a projert and found a man who had a two acre tobacco allot- j ment that he wasn't going to plant. The man agrtod to let them i have the allotment and to furnish all plants and fertilizer, plus, equipment. The Jaycees were to uo ail tne work. The profit was ι to be split 50-50. They tackled the money-raising project on that basis and all of them being city boys, you can imagine the troub les they had. It's a scream to hear them tell about working the tobacco, harvesting it, trying to grade and tie it and eventually getting it to market. When thty sold the two acre >.rop. it brought exactly $750. This was made into two checks for $375 each, one going to the club, the other to the landowner . But the landowner had watched all the sweat and toil of the Jaycees through the hot months and just didn't have the heart to keep his half of the money. He mailed the check back to the ι club with his regrets that a more profitable tobacco crop hadn't 1 been realized. i| As a token of their appreciation to the landowner, the Jay- ] cees took one of the tobacco leaves and had it bronzed. It's still a valued possession of the man who loaned his land to the Jay- ι cees for a most unusual project. YAMS: The N. C. Yam Association has launched its ·300 ΐ Bushel Per Acre" project at Goldsboro last Thursday. This is an 1 effort to increase yam yield per acre in the commercial growing 1 sections and some fine free trips will be awarded the winners.!' We think the Tabor City area has a fine chance of winning out ■ in this competition and we are hopeful that a number of the 1 really good sweet potato growers will do their best to take top honors. The Kandee variety, that is making big steps forward in this section, is a high yielding variety and there's a good chance that some local larmer will come up with a championship yield of Kandee. π.

MISSISSIPPI The State Capitol Building at Jackson houses a State , Hall of Fame, the State Museum and Library, the! legislative chambers and the Supreme Court. Conduct- ; ed tours are free. The Old State Capitol was completed in 1842. It is considered by many to bp the most ι distinguished historic building in the state. In the '■ central rotunda is a statue of Jefferson Davis, who made his last public appearance here. The Governor's 1 Mansion at the city's busiest comer served as head quarieis lor Generals Grant ami Sherman during thei Civil War. Horry Electric Cooperative, Inc.

IiwMI?« Editor EVELYN LEONAID BAREΤ Η BELL ΑϋοιΙιΚ U'ttr A*rei Using Μ fr TTf Editorials · . · MIXED EMOTIONS One must view the recent Dis tinguished Service Award banquet by the Jaycees with mixed emotions. We find ourselves in accord with the uecision that no award should be <iven if a worthy recipient is unavail able. To tender awards at random for the sake of giving an award is folly and tends to cheapen the act. Not many groups would have cour age to claim no winner when a ban quet was held for the specific purpose of honoring a winner. We find this courage refreshing. Uli tne ottier hand it is with sadness that we view the plight of young men in the community, it is difficult to realize that not one single individual contributed that extra effort that pro /ides the dividing line between those who trod along the shopworn path and those who show initiative and a greater sense of responsibility. Already the picture is brighter for 1959 as a number of young men are showing a greater willingness to as sume responsibilities for the progress of the town. The future of the town is often vested in the wisdom of the older men and the energy and enthusiasm of the young. It is this energy, en thusiasm .and leadership that is hon ored with the presentation of the DSA. We hope 1959 will find several young men qualifed to win the DSA. Our town needs the services of young men to direct the movement of civic projects that benefit all the people. I MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION Greeley Long, Superintendent of Schools in Brunswick County, is to be commended for adoption of a "Career Day" program. The program is designed to give ; junior and senior students an oppor tunity to hear not only about rewards in various professions but to become acquainted with the problems. "Career Day" gives students the needed chance to think about their future. Undoubtedly it leaves a few students in doubt but for the most part it motivates them and arouses interest in higher education. We hope Brunswick County schools will make this a permanent affair. Certainly there is everything to be gained and nothing to lose.

CP&L To Send Tar Heel Youth To Atomic Heel Caroli ;» Γον.-c: f: Light Com pany will sponsor North Caro· Una high school science studen and teacher at the first natiuna Youth Conference on the Aton in Atlantic City April 30-May 1 The student and teacher wil bt· given an expense-free tri] to the conference by CP&L.. Thi winner will be chosen from a mong participants representini CP&L's North Carolina servic area in the district science fair to be held in early Spring. The N. C. Department of Pub lie Instruction and the N. C Academy of Science have ex pressed support of the program The State Science Teachers' As sociation has been asked to coo· tack teachers and students on the local level. Theas Interested la c—»»«tlag for (he honor may obtain addl tional Information from the CFAL office nearest them. Between 400 and 500 young science students from all parts of the country will attend the conference, which is designed to encourage the study of science and to give teacher and student alike a firsthand look at the peaceful uses of the atom. Conference-goers will hear addresses by such experts as: John A. McConc, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, and Charles E. Robbins, head of the Atomic Industrial Forum. They will see atomic displays and make tours of establish ments where atomic power is used for peaceful purposes, a incmg· them the generation of electricity. CPgL is already participating in a proje.t to Dring tue ι list atom-produced electricity to the Southeast. It is a mesriber of the Carolina Nuclear Power Associ ates. Inc., which is developing an atomic power plant at Parr Shoals. S. C. Heart Group Names Pnblic Education Head Mr. Allen Price will bt in I charge of public information ami education about heart dis ease. it was announced today by Mrs. Luther Μ cares, chairman' "f the newly formed Columbus County Heart Committee. ' "One of the aims of the local Heart group, which is affliliated with the North Carolina and American Heart Association, is to inform the public about the hopeful side of heart disease," said Mrs. Meares. "Despite the jalarming increase in the inimb jcrs of people who are being I stricken by heart and blood ves sel diseases, and in the rate of deaths from these diseases, heart research has led to some signi ficant advances in treatment." j "Perhaps the most important 'advances of all have been made in the field of surgery. Parents who once felt despair when told their child had been born with , a defective · heart, now know that practically every heart malformation may be corrected by surgery,"· Mrs. Meares added.j To bring hopeful fi>rts such as ,these to public attention will be the jnb of Mrs. Price and she will also be responsible for pub I licizing the activities of our new ι Heart Committee. .1 One of the methods to be used I in reaching the public will be >|through a Speakers Bureau. * Physicians and other profession ■ al workers will Im? enlisted to ! speak on such topics as modern ■ treatment for various forms of i heart and blood vessel diseases. the rehabilitation of heart pati ■ ents, and what is known about prevention. They will be avail ■ able for civic groups. Those who . would likt a speaker for a group ■ should notify Mrs. Price.

Speaking of teachers there are many who are be loved by their students but two in particular who teach in the grammar grades at Tabor City are con santly being praised by parents and children. TImw are Mrs. U. V. Hicks and Aliss Ann Brooks McGougjm. 1 tried to phone someone the other day and each time the line was busy. After the eighth time 1 finally found the line clear only to learn tne party i sought w as out of town which accounted for their not answer ing he phone. Then my curiosity got the best of me. i checked the phone book to lind out who was on the party line with the person 1 tried to call. To my amazement it was a lady whose only reason for using the phone that much must have been classic goss|). Armed with suspicion that she was a healthy gossiper 1 casually inquired about her ability to spread the rumored word and learned from her best friends that she bore the title of a "malicious gossiper". Seems she heads the class and that's quite a distinction in this fair city. IN THE MAIL — There was no signature on the card but the handwriting on the envelope served the same purpose. The sentiments expressed in the cawl were quite clever: ^ "What in the Hell would you write about Windy If It weren't for your daughter Cindy". , (Strike out the words Hell and Windy and it sounds like something my wife asked me not long ago.) If you know how to do just one thing in particular have no fear even about your most bitter enemy — he'll come around one day wanting you to do some thing for him!" D KIDS DON'T CHANGE — Johnny Grainger and Joanne Beck were selected as the most outstanding seniors at Williams Township High School. My wife taught both of these students when they were in the seventh grade. She commented back then that they were among her outstanding students. So you see— things don't really change. We just get older. NEW SYSTEM m I was in a county school a while back and saw a teacher using an old method of teaching. She was wielding a wicked paddle on the youngster's seat. I always thought that was a father's duty out then maybe the fathers these days are teaching the young sters to read and write and sending them to school for their discipline. Most people act like the brotherhood of mar means being nice only to relatives. » REPUTATION LINGERS On the way to Fort Lauderdale we stopped in a small Florida town. The man asked where each of us lived. One was from Hamlet and the other from Lumberton. When he learned 1 was from Tabor City he com-. mented, "I've never been there but tell me is it still the meanest town in North Carolina?" I vowed it wasn't a rough place and explained that all the rowdy exhibitionists got into troub^ around the outskirts. ^ Somehow or other I don't think he believed me. A BIT OF COURAGE It was encouraging to find that the Jaycees held a DSA banquet to honor the outstanding young man in the community only to find no one had done enough to warrant such an award. < It speaks well for the Jaycees in not wanting to cheapen the award. Now w hen a man wins it he can be certain he deserved it. φ Too many organizations give awards like hotcakes with little thought other than banquets have a nicer atmosphere if someone is presented an award. FUTURE IS BRIGHT Having been on the Jaycee banquet trail lor the past two weeks makes me have hope for the future. There will come a day when meals are neatly packed in a capsule. You can have a steak, potatoes, lettuce and tomato salad or anything else in only tl^£ time it takes to swallow the capsule. ™ Also there will come a day when speeches will be in capsule form. Then you can stay home, have your banquet dinner and select your own kind of dinner * speech. At the most it won't take over three minutes.
