DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year, $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 Change Is Inevitable Because a thing has always been is no reason to believe that i t always will be so. This is some thing that those disturbed by cen tralization of government and re volutionary and socialistic trends should bear in mind. When this government was form ed and when the Constitution was adopted this was an agricultural country, thinly populated and large ly Isolated, calling for, and by necessity demanding, that most gov ernmental affaire be handled on the local level. Thomas Jefferson recognized that and stated that he wanted to keep it that way. An agrarian society permits the kind of government to which our older citizens were familiar in their youths when agriculture was the principal occupation of our citizens and when industries were small and largely local in nature. In this kind of government a plantation form of economy could exist and a small ruling class could hold most of the power of government. This has usually resulted in a concentra tion of wealth and power and peon age for the majority of the people as is borne out with the exper ience of England prior to the In dustrial Revolution, and is borne out today in many Latin Ameri can countries. It has brought about revolutions, peaceful in England, but violent in Latin America and ip Russia. i In any agrarain society in which economic power is held by a rela tively few persons, social injustices are many, but as long as the lower class can be held in subjection, the economy will work under an age-old plan. But America is no longer an agri cultural nation. It is one of the most powerful industrial nations in the world. What will work for an agrar ian society will not work for an industrial society. Take one of the giant corporations of the world, General Motors, as an example. This company has the money, the skills and the ability to produce automobiles and other products to an extent that , could produce pro fits almost unlimited and power and prestige to large stockholders un Back To School The News And Observer School bells are no longer Iron dinos aurs that get up before breakfast and gargle their metallic throats to rattle a town from one end to the other. But despite this void there is something in the air that races the blood and quickens the step. The schoolhouses, empty during the long summer, are now overflowing with exuberant human cargoes. The long halls, rank with disinfectants, are alive. The blackboards are brimming with questions and answers. The waste paper baskets, silent wells of nothing ness during summer, are white seas filled with blemished dreams and abortive ex plorations that wait perfection to the seats a few feet away. And the man with a child In school for the first time Is a cross between Nathan Hale and a newly coronated klnf. His face Is so long a barber would charge $10 to shave It. But as one half Is sadness, emotional question marks and protective Impulse, the other half is such a plateau of pride all the spotted horses of Camelo t could prance on ?it simultaneously. The whole town, In fact, has an edge of excitement around its gills. The town Isn't any richer or bigger than it was last week, but the annual opening of school always re vitalizes the flagging pulse Dog Days sap ped with lethargic teeth. Quotes No man should have a secret from his wife; she invariably finds It out.-Oscar Wilde. It is a good thing life is not as ser ious as it seems to a waiter.-Don Harold fe ? Fishing is a delusion entirely surrounded bjr liars in old Clothes.-Don Marquis. dreamed of by the wealthiest plan tation owners this country has ever known. That Is it could If It could sell all the cars It could manu facture. But In order to sell cars the general public must have money to buy these cars. So It becomes evident that In an Industrial country It would not do to have all the' money in the hands of a relative few. Like a marble game, the game ends when any player gets all the marbles. This country Is not only an in dustrial country, but It Is an urban country. The majority of the people instead of living on broad acres, are crowded together In cities and suburbs. What is no nuisance toper sons living half a mile apart, be comes a nuisance when families live within fifty feet of each other. Laws must be passed to prevent, for ex ample, the growing of chickens, the raising of pigs, and the operation of stables. Here one man's free dom is restricted in order that others freedoms may be enlarged. Here a citizen is told how fast he must drive his car, where he must park his vehicle and for how long, signal lights tell him when to stop, when to go, and signs tell him how fast he may drive. Since he can not build hi s own roads, the community and the state builds the streets and the highways and he is taxed to pay for the roads and men are employed to enforce the traffic laws. To prevent spread of disease, sewage systems must be built, and this means more regu lation and more taxes. And so it goes. Fifty years ago one officer maintained order in this small town. Today five policemen are employed. Multiply this town by a hundred thousand and you have the nation and its problems that makes rugged individualism a mere catch phrase. And thus it becomes evident that the more the country grows the more it must exist by group effort, and that by its very nature it must become more, not less socialistic. This does not mean the end of capitalism orprivateenterprise, but it does mean more and not less government. NEWS OF FIVE.

Edgar Llmer, Jr., presid ing minister of a Warrenton congregation of Jehovah's Wit nesses, announced yesterday that members of his congrega tion will attend ? weekend train ing conference In Norfolk, Va., September 18-20. The meeting Is being arrang ed for sixteen Witness congre gations located In Eastern Vir ginia and Northeastern North Carolina to provide advanced instruction In Bible subjects and teaching techniques. Llmer explained that two cir cuit training conferences and one district meeting are ar ranged each year for Witness ministers and their families. These group training sessions, |he said, supplement the train ing given In the local Kingdom Hall's Theocratic Ministry | School. Two hours of Instruction In public speaking, Bible re search, Biblical history, teach ings and doctrines of all major religions, plus personal in [structlon In the art of teaching are given weekly to students enrolled In the local school, Llmer said. "Our school," he added, "is operated free at charge and Is open to anyone In the community who would like 'to Improve their personal know ledge of the Bible or subjects associated with Biblical his tory. " Llmer pointed out that the goal of each Witness Is to be come a trained teacher and that their program of personal ized and group training has en abled the organization to grow from 250,000 to over one mil lion skilled teachers In twenty years, and to expand their teaching work from a few coun tries to 194 lands including Iron Curtain countries where the work Is carried on under ground. Llmer said the Witnesses have overcome the religious persecution ban in countries sucn as Spain, Portugal, Cuba, and many African countries by their unique training program of "sa'h one teach one." By | this method, he said, natives of dalned and when American mis sionaries are expelled or Im prisoned as Is the ease in Iron Curtain countries, the govern ment cannot expell its own citi zens, and so the work of an nouncln g God's established Kingdom goes right on. Hs said whole family groups attend the training sessions and even small children are permit ted to enroll la the ministry training program.
