"Second Class Postage Paid at Warren ton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One year, $3:00; Six Months, $1.50 150 Years Of Service One hundred and fifty years ago, a small band of Methodists built a log cabin church in what had formerly been a chinquapin patch near or where the home of the late Dr. C. H. Peete stands. Through the years the church has (grown in membership, in wealth, in strength and in service to its com munity. The log cabin gave way to a brick church and in recent years to a beauti ful structure where each Sunday morn ing worship services are held, and where a charge has given way to a sta tion, in order that the church might better perform its function. The log cabin was not built without faith, nor was the larger brick church in later years. In this second church was laid the foundation of a faith and love for the church of his childhood that was responsible for the generosity of the late George G. Allen which large ly made, the beautiful new structure possible. These things are recalled because members of Wesley Memorial .Metho dist Church will on Sunday highlight the observance of their 150th anniver sary^ with the appearance of their Bishop. Members of other denomina tions will join with the Methodists in the observance of the anniversary, and share their pride with them over 150 years of growth and service to their Creator and to their community. Jack Smiley The death of Jack Smiley should tend to remind us that it is not necessary to win fame and fortune to win the re spect of one's fellowman; and neither must one do things in the grand man ner to attain love and good-will. For 30 or 40 years the editor of this newspaper knew Jack Smiley and dur ing that period he never knew him to do a mean thing or to bear false wit ness against any man. His fault, if that be a fault, was that oftentimes he was too good for his own good; hating strife, he sometimes would allow him self to be imposed upon. This trait did not win fortune for him, but it won friends and it won respect, and many persons are better off because they knew Jack Smiley. Born in poverty, without many world ly advantages, beset with troubles, frustrations and hardships, Jack bore them patiently and courageously. He was living proof that kindly hearts are more than coronets and simple faith more than Noman blood. He was a gentleman because he was a gentle man. Of him it can be truthfully said that j he loved justice, showed mercy and | walked humbly with his God. it You Just Can't Make Any Money Any More" The Smlthfield Herald It is time to put in a good word for prop erty and private ownership. But, first, let's take a look at some myths that Americans believe in strongly. Myth No. 1: There was a time when there was great concentration of wealth in the Unit ed States (before F. D. R. became President, say) but this is not true today. This myth is shattered by research con ducted by Professor Robert J. Lampman, chair man of the economics department at the Uni versity of Wisconsin. In a book published by Princeton University Press, Professor Lamp man tells us that the wealthiest one per cent of American adults own 28 per cent of the nation's entire wealth, about the same per centage held by the wealthiest one per cent in 1933. And the current trend is toward greater concentration in a few hands, not less. Myth No. 2: Just about everybody owns stock in corporations nowadays. Big business is owned by the masses, giving us a sort of people's capitalism." Laaopman's research shows no such mass ownership of corporate stock. In 1929, when concentration of corporate wealth in the hands of 'A few was supposedly at an all-time peak, one per cent of the nation's holders of wealth owned 65 per cent of all corporate stock. In 1903 one per cent owned 75 per cent. Today the percentage of corporate stock held by the am per cent is estimated to be higher than it was nine years ago. Myth No. 3: Taxes are so high, you simply cant make any money any more. There are fewer and fewer millionaires. Not so. In 1953 there were 27,000 million aires in the United States. Today there are mora than 100,000. Even the Wall Street Jour nal has acknowledged that more Americans "have become millionaires since World War II than In any comparable earlier period." The U. S. middle class also has made great economic gains in the past 30 years. The evi dence is all about us. But let ua not make the mistake of thinking that all the economic and social planning of the past three deaades has robbed the rich for the benefit of the maaaas. The rich, Including the loudest cgaawktii about the "welfare state," hare fined rather well, as Professor Lampman's bosk'clearly shows. Mew, let's put in that good word for prop arty and private ownership. Or, rather, let Dr. Elton Trueblood, the distinguished Chris tian theologian, say it: "The chief reason why ffeat sceumluation of wealth, such as in a capitalistic society, is ta hasp a small bey eat of the cookie box. M and hide the key under a cake of spi' ? * ? ?' wrong, is not that property is an evil thing, but that property is a good thing. It is such a good thirisf that it ought to be part of the life of more people than is possible when a few have vast quantities."

MOSTLY PERSONAL By BIGNA1X JONES A mark of old age is a de sire to look back into the past, I have been told, and knowing this, 1 struggle against the tendency. And yet it is surpris ing how many present day things tend to recall the past. For instance, there was an article in this week's Saturday Evening Post concerning the development of a jet engine by Chrysler and its road test. The engine is lighter, more eco nomical and will no doubt be the engine of the future, al though a rapid change from the conventional engine is not expected. Of course any ac count of changes in auntomo bile design has a tendency to make one think of automobiles of earlier days, but I think it was the reference to the fact that the new engine does not have a radiator that turned my mind back to the old Model T. Ford. The Model T had a radiator, but its creator Henry Ford realized that it was a weakness of a car and praised the Frank lin air-cooled engine as an im provement in automobile devel opment. While the Model T had a radiator, it did not have a water pump. It depended upon the rising of heated water and the descent of cooler water for circulation, and it worked after a fashion for many years until the Ford Motor Company built its Model A. But the radiators some time became very hot, and sometimes the ear had to be stopped while "the engine cooled." But as the Model T engine was of relatively low horsepower? around 15, I seem to remem ber? and with low compres sion, did not generate any thing like the heat generated by the modern automobile pow er plant. On the whole, I don't think the old car had much more radiator trouble than does the modern car. The Model T not only did not have a water pump, but it was also without an oil pump, depending upon the splash, system to throw oil on the pistons That worked too,' al though the Model T used much : more oil than does the mod ern car Instead of one coil mounted j under the hood, the Model T< had a box containing 4-coils mounted on the dashboard, with bteakers on each coil. We often sandpapered or filed these coil points as we did j the four sparkplugs on the engine. It is surprising how many modetn contraptions were not used on the Model T, but its very simplicity held an ad vantage for there was so little to get out of order, and when trouble developed it was not too hard to locate and repair it. The average driver could keep a Model T running with a file, a screwdriver and a wrench, and a - little baling wire. When I first knew the Model T it did not have a battery, but depended upon a magneto for current to operate the spark plugs and the lights. Of course the faster the car ran the more current was gen erated and the brighter the headlights would become. The weakness was that when one encountered a mudhole or other bad place in the road where the best light was need ed, the lights were the poorest. It must have been around the beginning of the twenties before a battery was installed in the Model T and a self-start er became a feature of the car. But better roads and better cars within a few years after that time made the Model T obsolete. By modern standards, the Model T was crude and inef ficient, but we got a lot out of them, they were relatively heap. And as Ford advertis ed, "They took us there and hey brought us back," and the modern car does no more.

And the harder Reddy works, the more hi* wage* are reflected in your service bill. You and your family spend lots more time indoors these day*. For instance, the amateur chef end the outdoor grill have retired for the winter. Now your electric range and small appliances help prepare even more hot meal* and snacks. The automatic heating system is in use practically all the time. Your electric water heater must beat water that enter* the bouse at much colder temperatures. In fact aB your electrical servants, such as lighting, TV, radio* and space heaters, are working longer hours for you. That's why Reddy remind* ufc that when the weather is roughest is when be works hardest for our comfort and convenience.
