cElje IHarrat Xrrori) Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES, Editor ? DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, VNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year, $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 So Smart, Yet So Dumb On Tuesday night many persons here saw a program on Telstar at the Ro tary meeting and its promise of im proved communications and marveled at the scientific achievement of man who is now seeking to reach the moon, while yet a long ways from solving the earth's problems. And yet one must judge mankind with mixed emotions. Locking at him by his scientific achievements, as ex emplified by Telstar, one must say that man is incredibly smart, but looking at his blunders in the social, economic and governmental fields one must feel that he is quite stupid. In spite of great natural resources, great facilities for training people in the economic and social field, in spite of volume after ve'?me of research on government, we have not been able in mors than thirty years to elect a Pres ides c capable of balancing the Federal budget or a Congress insistent upon its being done. More than anything else the people of the world want peace and justice, but we are committed to a policy where one wonders whether or not the econ omy could operate on a peaca time basis, or even whether or not we could afford, if we could, to abolish sin. Mil lions of our people are out of work, and one wonders what would happen to the country if suddenly by some miracle our swords could be beaten into plough shares. In the 1930's we raked leaves to make work so that money would be distributed, and in the 1960's we are building armaments with at least a touch of a similar purpose. Likewise, as our minister friend ( pointed out in a jocular mood, if sin were abolished all the preachers would j be out of a job. And so would the, jailers, the judges, the lawyers, the po-! licemen, and all the millions whose time is spent in trying to keep man from; committing mayhem. The larger partion of the world is; worrying about getting enough to eat while our farmers are worrying about i producing too much . .od, and if they' are not the government is. Here in Warren County we are both-j ered by lack of jobs for those who want to work, and at the same time we spend a great deal of our time cursing those on Welfare for not being willing to work. This could go on and on, as there is no end to it, but it does cause one to j wonder how man can be so smart and j so dumb at the same time. Shopping Habits Undergo Change Goldsboro News-Argus The shopping habits of North Carolina citi zens have chauged We see thii in Goldsboro, In Raleigh and in most other energetic and There Is Time Everett (Wash.) Dally Herald Frequently somebody says: "There is time. All you need to do is to take it." What is time? Today is time. Most everybody at some time or another has said: "Someday I am going to do thus and-so." Most of our days are lived consider ing the future. Some wait for the weather to clear, some for conditions to improve and some for a dream ship to come in. j What about the present? What about this day? Time is a gift from God and what are we doing with it? Yesterday is gone forever leaving but a memory?a result. Tomorrow may never come. But today. It is here. It 'la a gift we can use wisely or unwisely. . We who hesitate in accepting our gift must reconcile our actions?to offer excuses to our selves and to others: "I didn't have the time .'If I were only younger. ... Do you think I could do it?" Maybe we cannot achieve something that has existed in our dreams. But we can try. Today is the only time in which the oppor tunity for trying is assured us. ? Those who put off until tomorrow what they could attempt today are merely creating an image of defeat. God gives us the gift of time. We can return that gift in our best effort* Soceone has said that tension is caused by worrying about yesterday and tomorrow. Our ?eat effort in making today a better day will give us enough to do without worrying about . . or weeping about what has pired. . A lifetime can be lived in a fleeting mo ment You have more than a fleeting moment. . There are 24 hours at your disposal today. What you do with them is entirely up to you. today will have become another fruitful, wasted, yesterday. Some Sofia Advice Fandford (S.D.)

What a relief for the At least we ar aervants will stand for progressive cities in the state. Once Saturday was pay day almost without exception. Now pay day is every day with some section of the people. Once Saturday was the big shopping day. Now Saturday is one of the least important shopping days. It is not so much a shopping day now be cause not only do more people get paid on different days but the five-day week is grow ing in popularity. More and mose businesses fall in line with closing on Saturdays or clos ing for a half day on that day. Note the food advertising of a city and you get a check on what sort of a city it is, how fast it it growing and changing. In some of North Carolina's larger cities already it is routine for the big food stores to insert advertising in the papers on Monday and on Tuesday as well as on Thursday or Friday. We noticed this routine first years ago. Now you see it in Durham and in Ral eigh, to mention only two cities which follow this system . . . NEWS OF FIVE, TEN AND 25 YEARS AGO Looking Backward Into The Record September 13, 1957 Members of the Haliwa tribe of Indians of Warren and Halifax Counties have opened a private Indian school near the Bethlehem Negro school in East Warren County.

Philip E. Lykes GladstoiiC, one of England's great statesmen, once said to DeWitt Talmage, "talk about the questions of the day; there is only one question, and that is the question of religion in the home?settle that and you will settle all questions." As we look about us today, we are aware of the fact that Gladstone's statement is no less true in our day than in his. All around us is the trag ic evidence of the absence of religion in the homes of our communities. We see it re flected at times in the moral attitudes and standards of our children. Sometimes we are shocked and hurt at the things they do. Most often though I think thai we see it in the complete lack of an awareness on the part of our children that God is vitally interested in them as individuals, in all that they are now and in all that they hope to be and that He loves them with a Holy Love. This awareness must come first of all through the attitude of our parents towards God and the church. If their's is an indifferent attitude can the child's be anything else? Whit aker Chambers, one time com munist and the chief witness in the Alger Hiss trial, said that during his childhood he could not remember any men tion of God or of Christianity in his home. His mother was critical of religion. This add ed proof that children are sel dom more religious than their parents. It is reported that Luther Burbank once said, "If we studied children as wo do cat tle, hogs, and trees, we would improve the race 100 per cent in one generation." Religion in the home! That will im prove our world situation in less than one generation. God has given to man the ability to bring forth upon this earth that which has never ex isted before. He has given us the ability to bring forth life. As parents we are morally re sponsible for the way that new life is developed.
