GJtj? fflarrpn ffiprnrb 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. UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Sccond (.'lass Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year. $3.00: Six Months, $1.50 Speaker Ban Amendment An amendment to the Speaker Ban Law, submitted by a special study commission, was adopted by the State Legislature in special ses sion Wednesday morning. In essence the amendment returns control of speakers to the trustees of the in stitution of higher learning, but re quires that the administration of such institutions must give certain guarantees to the Legislature. The amendment was not entirely satisfactory to either proponents of the law who wanted it kept on the stature book, net to the opponents of the law who wanted its outright repeal. But the compromise is one that should end the threat to school accreditation and should allay much feeling that has arisen by the pass age of the law. The adoption of the amendment came as no surprise, as it was unanimously backed by the com mission after long weeks of investi gation, study, and hearings and by Governor Moore, Lt. Governor Bob Scott and House Speaker Pat Taylor. We think that it is indeed fortun ate that an effort to have the issue decided by a vote of the people was beaten down as it would have created a great deal of hard feel ings and would have divided our peo ple, and, we think, hurt the good name of the state, and hindered its economic advance. We, as is well known, have from its passage opposed the Speaker Ban Law, but the issue is apparent ly solved, and there is now no good reason to review our arguments. We wanted its outright repeal, but will ingly accept the action of the legis lature in its amendment. One amendment that was passed is that the Legislature appoint a committee to study the composition and duties of the Southern Associa tion of Colleges and Universities, an accreditation agency. The rea son for its introduction was to in form the people of the state about ~a rnafr^T?about?which?there?was much misunderstanding, and ac cording to its sponsors, was intro duced without prejudice. Certainly we would be inconsistent if we objected to a full investigation of any matters of coriCtmi to ottF-peo ple , as we believe that truth can stand against the false and that freedom to know is a vital freedom More For The UN's Pennies The Christian Science Monitor France's proposal for a general over haul of United Nations finances holds a promise of improvement and greater effi ciency. But it may also present a danger to an expansion of the world body's con structive efforts around the globe; Sensibly recognizing that the United Na tions' financial structure is haphazard, in efficient, and often creaky, France calls for the setting up or a 12-nation commit tee to carry out a general audit of finances and to recommend the best use of avail able funds. This suggestion strikes us as eminently sensible. Although the United Nations' bud get is based on ficed and regular con tributions for all its members, these do not pay for all the activities which the world body has undertaken over the years. These extra budget needs are met largely through voluntary contributions from such lands as feel disposed to make them. This system finally caught up the United Nations with a vengeance last year, when the Soviet Union's and France's refusal to contribute to the cost of peace-keeping operations plunged the United Nations into a severe financial crisis out of which it has not yet drawn. But while we believe that the United Debt To Mules By MRS. H. M. COX In The Smithfield Herald I saw a mule today?an honest to goodness real mule. He was Jogging along a country roul," hitched to a wagon. A lone man sat on the seat, holding the lines. I held my breath for a minute, while memories flood ed my soul. I could still hear the mules whickering, smell the sweet-smellingfreshly cut hay, hear the crunching of corn as they enjoyed a hard-earned meal at night. I had a crazy impulse to yell out, "Stop, Mister, please stop. I want to hug your mule." 1 am reminded of mules quite often. I still have two empty mule stables, and lots of their gear hangs under the shelter. Their names were Rhoda and Red. They were our last ones and we kept Rhoda long after she was not able to do any work at all. We loved her so much. I saw a mule today. And I was reminded of all mules who have ever lived and died. We owe them all a debt of gratitude for the wonderful service and pleasure' they gave to their owners. Let's Get It Straight Capper's Weekly During the Job interview the young ap plicant loftily announced: "My avocation Is color photography." The personnel manager laid down his pen: "Young man," he said steadily, "vice presidents have avocations, department heads have hobbles. What you're to Is fooling He's Always Around Wall Street journal Do you have the kind of friend you can always depend on? You know, he's always around when he needs you. Nations' activities must be tailored to its resources, we believe that it would be a tragedy if this were used as an excuse to cut back that body's role in a world which desperately needs its help in so many direc tions. In whichever direction we look, we see problems growing in size, intensity and in urgency. All evidence points toward the need to broaden the United Nations' effec tiveness rather than to restrict it. France did not, of course, come out and say that one of the purposes of its proposal was a cutback In the United Nations' world role. Perhaps it is not. Yet such a cutback would, unhappily, appear to be In step with President de Gaulle's strongly nationalist and anti-internationalist views. France's re fusal to contribute to the United Nations' peace-keeping activities in the Congo was clearly aimed at discouraging rather than encouraging greater United Nations activity. By all means, let us put the United Na tions on a sounder financial footing. But let us do so In the hope that its effective ness on the world scene will grow, not diminish.

Wright LETTERST0 Tffi EDITOR WIIY NOT TESTED1 To The Editor: Governor Moore stated over the television tonight that there would be no defeat for either side over the controversial Speaker Ban Law should the Legislature adopt the recom mendations of the commission in the report submitted to that body. It is difficult for one, with out seeing the report, to under stand how such a law can be compromised. I stand in agree ment with you that this law should be repealed with no pro visions. This law adopts, certainly in part, the philosophy and policy of totalitarian governments, communistic or other, that the end Justifies the means. It is taking a step toward strik ing at the very heart of Free dom of Speech or the Freedom of the Press. When orderly freedom is thwarted, the dignity of man Is Infringed upon. I believe, there' fore, that the Speaker Ban Law Is not sound. I don't believe it could stand, if tested, in the higher courts of our land. As a layman not trained in legal procedure, I ask this ques tion: why could not this law have been tested In the higher courts before going to the expense of a special session of the Legis lature? NATHAN P. FITTS, M. D. THANKS PAPER To The Editor: I am writing to express the appreciation of all the mem bers of the Warrenton congre gation of Jehovah's Witnesses for the news coverage of our training conference held in Petersburg, this past weekend. One thing that was made seripturally clear to us at the meeting was God's view ofpar ents responsibility in regard to child training. It was pointed out that "rais ing a child in the fear and ad monition of Jehovah," is not the responsibility of outsiders, but each couple who takes advant age of God's arrangement for producing children will have to answer for the spiritual trai? ing of the child. This was food for thought. Please express our apprecia tion to your staff. E. EDGAR LIMER, JR. Presiding Minister Workman are shown constructing a telephone tower tf Afton this week.
