PAGE FOUR EDITORIAL RAGE tup courier-time J. W. Noell, Editor M. C. Clayton, AdvertLlng Manager J. 3. Merritt, and Thos J. Shaw, Jr., d r Taylor Associates Managing Editor THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1045 It isn't true because the COURIER-TIMES says It but the COURIER-TIMES suys it because it is true • TO SEE THE TRUE GLORY About a month afo ngroup of Lester Black well Post American Legion officials, togethei with a lew other represenative citizens gath ered in a Rnxboro theati'e for a preview show ing of a war film. They wanted to see it to see if the film was of enough general interest to bring back to Roxboro in a benefit show for Lester Blackwell Post. The judging com mitee sat and looked, for more than an hour and ;i half. Coming from the screen were vivid scenes ffom latter portions of the Battle of Europe, scenes such as the invasion of France, tht eygagemeiv at St. Lo, the battle of the Bulge, Remagen Bridge and the final triumphant meeting with the Russians, told with the aid of the resonant voice of Cen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and with the voices of unknown fighters, men and women, soldiers and civil ians. The Roxboro committee looked and lis tened. in silence, in a hush that was at the first no more tense than that of the average audience at an average film, but that before the climax was reached had become deep and dark, heavy as velvet. "The True Glory"—for that was the name of the film—-was and is different. It has war in it. ail ot the unforgettable horror, the cre scendo of guns, the silent stalking at night and the tender touches of unconscious humor and the mass of misery and of sorrow that war is, but it has also the glory of man, the only redeeming aspect of a global conflict. Seeing the film, that was the way the Rox boro committee felt. Revealed for a little while in an official film sponsored by the governments of the United States and of Great Britain and by the governments of scores of allies in the United Nations, was the ' lesson of working together, of building one with another for a common cause-—freedom. The Roxboro committee was agreed that day that Roxboro and Person County should see “The True Glory”. It is being shown here next Monday and Tuesday and it is the hope j of the committee that families of men and women in service and of those now returned will by seeing it have new faith for this Arm istice Day and a greater understanding of why those who can never come back have not died in vain. o • GAINING AND LOSING Appointing of A. M. Burns, Jr., as clerk of Person Superior Court and Juvenile judge, was and is a source of satisfaction to his friends, but announcement that his brother, Rep. R. P. Burns, will not next year be a can didate for renomination as House member from Person, understandable as his reasons j are, should start amongst thinking citizens I serious reflection as to who is to be his sue-; cessor in the General Assembly. Rep. Burns, as he observes in his state-1 ment. has been in the House for three suc cessive terms, and while no man knows bet-; ter than he that no man in public life is in dispensable, there is nevertheless the fact I that experience in such places as the House j is of value, so that the man who lias seen his j way around and served for several times should be that much better able to work for his county after his second or third term. In other words, if Person is to have another I Representative in the House at Raleigh, it; should give serious thought to picking a man j who can and will win and serve in more than j one term. We have no doubt that somewhere within the bounds of Person is a public-spirited citi zen or two who would offer as a candidate, if sufficiently pressed, but getting such a citi zen to take the first step and go to the trouble of running becomes more difficult with each passing year. And that difficulty, if any thing, is a reflection on a perhaps uncon scious decline in the democratic spirit with which our forefathers worked and wrought in the creation of the nation and its several states. Leaders were needed and brought forth in the early days. They are no less needed today.

O. As Second Class Matter • STRONG WORDS A LITTLE LATE President Truman did some sharp telling of where to get off in his labor-management conference talk Monday and there are many citizens who will applaud his ‘‘a plague on both your houses” attitude in the warning that a formula for industrial peace must be found among themselves, that is among both l labor and management, or “else the people of Uhe United States will lind the answer some j place else”. Many people will likewise approve the President’s further declaration that ‘These 'answers must and will be found (and) that I the whole system of private enterprise and j individual opportunity depends upon finding them”, but there are also among the I’resi j dent’s well-wishers a large number who will feel that the flow and the force of words of j anger are mitigated by his haying been so i slow to arrive at a state of righteous wrath. | Divided, too, are opinions as to which of the . two groups, labor or management, has been j most culpable in deliberate evasion of duty to work together. Both labor and manage j ment have for long been accusing each other jot bad faith and have left the helpless white j collar man in the middle. ; For at last having spoken in language ! which can be understood by labor, by man jagement and by the white collars, the Presi- I dent deserves thanks, and regardless of quib bling in the ranks of the three groups as to j wavs and means to arrive at a desired end. o f 10R HAVING LIFTED PUBLIC SER | SERVICE Few except those with a missionary zeal j for science and social service have ever j thought the job of being a public health nurse j was a pathway to be voluntarially chosen, j but it was to the credit of the late Miss. Ev elyn Fletcher, one-time senior staff nurse with the Person Health department, that she mads such a choice and so regarded her profession, j Highly educated, both at Converse and Johns Hopkins and in the school of experience, she had culture, background of the social graces, sympathy and tact, plus a fine, hard vein of practicality. That she had for herself dark moments, w hole days and hours when per sonal obstacles and mental hazards all but submerged her basic belief in the value of the public servant, was revealed only to a few in timate friends. The rest of the world, and particularly that part of the world which she served in mini strations of health, never knew that the gleam of service bowed at times to defeats of spirit common to man. o • PATRONS OF THE ARTS Announced elsewhere in this issue of the Courier-Times is a scheduled showing of copies of paintings by old masters and by modern artists as a benefit for the Depart-j ment of Bible, Roxboro high school. The De partment, as mentioned by Fred Bishop, in structor, greatly desires to purchase ome paintings ot religious subjects to be used in connection with the courses offered by the Department. It is also hoped that public sup port of the exhibition, which will open next week at Roxboro high school and will later be taken both to Ca-Vel and Longhurst, will be strong enough to allow the purchase of additional paintings (copies) to be placed in other classrooms. The motives of the exhibition seem worthy, and although some of the painters listed may seem on conservative side and some of their subjects trite through a perhaps too frequent reproduction, it is probable that not too many citizens here have opportunity to study even the most familar artists and their works. The Bible department is right in wanting to have pictures to call its own, and doubly right in wanting the public to know more about good art and to have a share in keeping some of it on permanent display in Roxboro. —o • KEEPING UP WITH THE WORLD Robert I. Thompson, of Wake County, Con federate veteran, one of twelve left in the State, celebrated his one hundred and second birthday Tuesday and remarked, “I.am not as spry as I was ten years ago, but I keep up with what is going on in the world’''. With due respects to Mr. Thompson, the most of us of younger years would be happy if we could even be alive at his age and mor£ than pleas ed if we by chance had left any capacity or desire to “keep up”. Incidentally, one of the twelve surviving veterans referred too in that Raleigh dispatch is Person’s Gen. William F. Reade, of Mount Tirzah. • •• ■ • • THE COtTRTFP.
