Gin EVENTS: The events of Monday an·I Tuesday night in ΓοΙ>·τ City wore ol considerable importune«·. The Appreciation J Night. Monday for the football team and the awarding of two j Eagle Scout badges Tuesday night are both indications of the j fin j calibre of young tolks we have in Tabor City. While there will always bo instances in which juveniles arc delinqu ent here and all over the world, we still believe that by and large tlu youngsters "f today ate ss good as or bitter than their parents at the same hu*.

TEMiTATION: When V 15. Hnir· light. ,lr.. called last Friday pnti invited us to go with him to the Carulina-Uukv tooth is! game on Saturday it was a mv.it temptatton to say "to hock with working. I'm going." He already had 'hi tickets an<i «-verything. lUit we had ducidid to work hero at The Tribune Saturday in an effort to act the paper out a «lay early and tak·· <>ff tor Thanksgiving. Thus. the kind invitation had to bo r··- ·. ,:oC'<ed. Anyhow, we couldn't help but remember that Carolina i had beaten Duke two of the past Ihre« years and three of the 1 Ht four and the law · f averages indicated that Saturday would be Duke's day. It's a long trip 'o sie your old Alma Mater got beaten. TYPEWRITERS: Anybody thinking about giving someone a · typewriter for Christmas'.' Wo have in .-lock now throe brand η·*\ν Smith-Corona standard upright machines and a number . of used portable and standard machines. We koep hearing folks s:jy we didn't know you s.

J'UNCHIJOWL: fcvor since we moved to Tabor City 17 years i ■ifij we have heaid folks talking about Mshing at "Punchbowl" · down beyi'iid C'onwav. We had never seen it until last Thurs day when we were invited to try it down there by Ruey Η«·\· - itt. Wo didn't do too well that day but it .-uro do».s look like the t·. catch fish. Incidentally, one side of the ri'.er there be long« to Marion County and the other to Horry, it v.as leg; 1 to fish the H<»rry side but you couldn't lish on th*. Marion sidi* because ot the low water that prompted a decision to halt tN. 1 ''sning there. Another strange sight to us was the fact that there wen.* nets set all up and down the river and it's legal Utri e days a week there. There were many folks fishing with hook and line down there Thursday and just about all of tht-m were lioin this area. COi.LEGE: The drive »or lands within Horry County with which to iiiiild a college near Conway is progressing nicely and it is almost a sur·· thing now that it will become a reality. 1 he establishing of this school will be ί great tning for this ar.a and uiuiouoteol\ wul ix.-uit n. a number of you rig tolk. goinc to collegi who otherwise would not In aide to go There's η goal of s.iou.onn in mat drive and there", »very indic-iti^n Γη.·ο it will bo reached. 1 hat'.- a ureal deal of money but whrti u< e t e sol their minus ίο a ia-k. what ippears to be uiisui nioiin' al'le odds can be o\c»*coino.

GORE S GULF SERVICE 444-1 Tabor City, Ν. €. Editorials NATIVE AMERICANS PLAYED A BIG ROLL IN THE FIRST THANKSGIVING Two Indians with an Encash accent -deserve much -of the credit ■ for the first Thanksgiving in America. They taught the Plymouth colonists how tu make a home in the New World and helped them establish a peace that lasted for more than 50 years. The first to approach the colonists, reports the World Rook Encyclopedia. >vas Samoset. a chief of the Pemaquid Indian. He walked into the colony one day in March, 1621, and unsettled the settlers by addressing them in English. Samoset, it turned out, had earlier met some English fishermen along the coast of Maine and learned some of the language from them. Two weeks later Samoset dropped in with his friend Squanto, a well traveled brave of the Pawtuxet tribe. Squanto hail |>et»u to. England twice, «nee after having Won itidiutpped and sold as a slave in Spain by an English sea captain. lie had returned to America in 1619. Samoset introduced the colonists to Massasoit, chief of the Plymouth area. With Squanto acting as interpreter, the chief and the Pilgrims concluded a treaty of friendship that lasted until Massasoit died in 1661. > Meanwhile Squanto went to live with the colonists, teaching them how to plant corn, pumpkins and beans and showing them where to fish. That year the Pilgrims had a boun tiful harvest and Governor William Bradford declared the celebration that became the first Thanvngsiig.k that became the first Thanksgiving. THE HONOR OF THE EAGLE RANK Tuesday night two local young men were honored with Eagle Scout awards — the first such awards pre sented in Tabor to Scouts in 14 years. Not only that., it marks the third and fourth Eagle awards ever made to members of a Tabor City Boy Scout organization. ν While there's no doubt that the individuals receiving this high award are honored, many will overlook the fact that the troop, the community and the county as well is privileged to have two such fine young men recipients of such an award. Thousands upon thousands of boys are members of Boy Scout troops. Many, many other thousands should be Boy Scouts, but for various reasons never take part in the program. But even of those many who do affiliate with Scouting, a very small percentage ever achieve the top rank of Eagle Scout. Most of the Scouts, even good ones, tire of the program, reach the high teens, or interest themselves in something else and drop their^Scout ing advancement before reaching the ultimate Eagle goal. Thus the laurels placed on those few who do go all the way and reach th«· top is more noteworthy than most folks realize. Sammy Ave ritt and Phil Dellinger have achieved this top ranking and barring something un foreseen, Tabor City will have four or five additional Eagle Scouts within the next 12 months. It speaks well for the Scout leadership here and particularly it is a credit to the boys who have worked long and hard to , attain maximum success. Scouts the world over have a repu tation for discipline and no Eajrte j Scout has ever been a juvenile de linquent. The movement is close to Christianity and the oath every Scout must know and live is one which adults would do well to remember and live by. That oath is: "On my honor. I will do my best, to do my duty to Cod and my country, to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake ami morally straight." And the Scout law with its 12 parts ι likewise :< good law for every in- ; dividual to live by. Those 12 parts are: "Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courleous, kind, obedient .cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent." Thus today we take our hats off to th»· Scouting movement in Tabor City and salute not only those two Kugle Scouts but all the members of th«· troop and their leaders who hav·· brought honor to our community.

They iiiovimI siiikIc file, the mother firmly in the lead. . ^ Sue a.>ked to see winter coats. She suhl she want" e«l a winter coat lor her daughter. The clerk behind th·· counter looked at the teen-age girl and askeii^ ;he si/.e. "I don't know that," the mother said. "She's ,rowed a lot since she got the last one." The clerk took them to the «oat rack, and began . showing some of the toaV* hanging there. The mother frowned a^ she looked and ran her hands over th·· material. The daughter, standing • »ehind her, had a look en her face of uncertain) and apprehension. "They don't look very warm," the mother said. "They don't look much like winter coats t· inc." φ The clerk told her that, they were good warm 'oats. II«.· said that the material in them was a new kind, and didn't have to be thick and heav\ to be w arm. , While tin· mother and the elerk were talking about the warmth ami wearabilit.v of th·· coats, the girl moved to the rack and looked at the style1; and, I colors. After a moment she spread th·· coats apart t ι little and looked at one that was a liuht shade I of blue. It was the only light blue one on the rack.f -du· glanced back at her mother, but she was .-till j <alking to the clerk. The girl touched 'he sleeve of ! he blue coat, and then stepped back, leaving a space • on the ra<*k where it hung. ί The clerk finished explaining about the coats, I βnd the mother grunted ami stepped aside and told nim to try sonic of them on the girl. f The girl wen·" through the motions, and in each (•(»at she stood still while her mohter cheeked it for fit and appearance. Φ The clerk worked his way down th^ rat k, and he came to the coat that the girl had been looking at. When ho took it off the rack, the girl smiled, and it was th«· first time she had changed expression since she had been in th«· et ore. lie hidped her get it on. and she stood straight »in it und went closer to th·· mirror to >ei· Ivi'sell.·# : ■>»»#. nut her hands in the pockets and smiled jit her . reflection. , The clerk and the mother stood walehitig her.· The mother was frowning, th·· clerk smiling. "It's too small," the mother said, and turned hack |o the rack. The girl turned trom the mirror and looked »t her ι mother and alter a moment of hesitation told her that she thought it fit all right. "Anybody can see it's too small." her mother ; <aid. "!.o«>k at it. It don't even come down over th··4 • In-m of your dress." The daughter asked the clerk if he had another^ I blue one that was longer. He said he didn't. Then .<h«· told her mother that sh«· could take up the h«ni of her dress, and that she had always thought it was too lonir anyway. , "No." the mother said. "Besides, it's too flashy." At this the clerk turned to look at th»· mother and he seemed disturbed that she had said that φ about the cout. "Try this one," the mother said, taking a darker j one from the rack. φ The daughter stood silently with her eves lowered and lei the clerk take the blue coat off her. She didn't look up when he helped her with the darker j one. ι ι She stood with her arms hanging listlessly »t her sides while her mother buttoned the coat and adjusted it on her. Her mother then stepped back and studied it, and then nodded her head and told I the girl to stand before the mirror and look at it. The girl did as she was told and she stayed before f lihe mirror until her mother told the clerk that they , would take it. The clerk stood there with the blue coat draped .over his arm. He asked the girl for the eoat she had on, so he could wrap it. j I 'It'« all right," the mother said. "She can wear it."
