llarrpn ffiernrti 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 "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year. $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 A Way Of Growth The letter of Mr. Prlday to the editor In which he expresses his appreciation to the people of War renton for the warmth of their wel come and friendliness to him and Mrs. Prlday naturally will please the people of the town, but we think It should do more. It offers Warrenton an indication of a way of growth without losing Its charm and a certain character that sets It apart from many towns. Warrenton Is recognized as one of the prettiest towns In the state with a certain amount of culture not found In many small towns. Its people, like those In so many southern towns and villages, are friendly and hospitable. Gloomy Report Revives Old Fear The Durham Morning Herald The Bureau of Labor Statistics' gloomy report on rising unemployment among semi skilled and unskUled Americans points again to a conclusion that had been obscured by boom times. Unskilled labor Is being made obsolete. And even the most optimistic expectations for economic growth can't be expected to solve the hardcore unemployment prob lems that result. This threat of "structural" unemploy ment seemed to diminish as the national economy continued through a boom pe riod of unprecedented length. The decline In joblessness among the unskilled was great. And It appeared that the economy oould reach a growth rate that would ab I sorb unskflled : workferi despite the skill demands of Increasing mechanization and automation. But now It appears that despite a boom of astonishing length, joblessness among the unskilled is not only still too high. It Is beginning to climb again. The Implica tions of this situation are complicated by the fact that a high percentage of the unskUled come from non-white minority groups. And thus the nagging economic problem Is compounded by an almost be wUderlng array of social problems. Not only must the American economy ponder the hazard of having 8 per cent of Its unskilled work force Idle and an un known number of skiU-less individuals de moralized to the extent of not seeking regu lar work. American society must pon der the effect when so many of these men and women are Negroes concentrated In urban slum areas. This Is not a situation that wUl yield to Instant panaceas. If it yields at all, It will require scores of different approaches of the sort now loosely identified as features of the poverty program. This country Is, quite obviously, faced with an awesome problem that simply won't be eased (let alone solved) by comfortable old ideas that anyone with wit or gumption wUl get along all right In this best of possible lands. If the affluent American can't believe his society owes a helping hand to the mass of individuals represented by the Bureau of Labor Statistics* gloomy figures, he had better reoognlze that his society owes that helping hand to Itself. This country cannot prosper as It should If so great and cohesive a mass of Americans is left In non-productive Idleness and frustrating want. The Amish Way By HARRY GOLDEN in the Carolina Israelite The more I see of the Amish on television with all their attendant troubles about schools, the draft, and the paraphernalia of modern life, the more I realize we should be like them . The Amish build "side houses" for their parents, next to the "big house." Thev do not, as we more civilized and law-abid ing do, shoo them into special ghettos of I 'fast" homes several hundred miles away. I suspect some county somewhere will be on them tot that too. The best use we can make of grandma Is to let her baby-sit while am run away till all hours of the morning. The Amish never run anywhere. Grandma ?crapes the hogs to make sausages. The Amish have figured It all out. The way to make old folks happy Is to let them pull their oar. (bobs Worth Quoting It I, a e?g" that your reputation Is small ?id sinking, If you own tongue must praise you.-Matthew Hale. Truth often suffers more by the heat of Ha defenders, than from ths arguments of Rs opposers.?WUllsnt Peon. Its climate Is pleasant and it has good schools and Improving medical facilities. Its tax rate Is relatively This makes Warrenton an Ideal town for retired people, particular ly those from the army andfromthe business world, many of whom have had their fill with the push and dog eat-dog atmosphere of the crowded cities and the business world, not to mention the cold of winter. Here these people car. become a part of the quiet life of a friendly town in the knowledge that retirement does not mean an end of usefulness. This is the real story that War renton should sell to the rest of the nation for its best hope lies in its growth as a residential town. And while the town tries to sell its charm to the rest of the nation, its people may work to make it a prettier and a cleaner town. What has been said of Warrenton applies largely to the county as a whole For Warren County has friendiy and hospitable people. Its land values are low and its tax rate compared with many north ern and western counties is very low. it is. bounded by two pretty lakes on its north, offering boat ing, swimming and fishing. To those who would like to play the country squire, to raise a few cattle, to keep hunting dogs and saddle horses, the cost will be found to be amazing ly low and. .within : ther reach many retired persons. Warren County needs these kinds of people, not only for what they can contribute in material wealth to the county, but also because they still have much to give in skills and Initia tive in helping to build a better county. We do not think that Warren Coun ty should slacken its efforts to ob tain more factories, more payrolls, but we do believe in neglecting its appeal to retired people it is neg lecting one of the most feasible ways of growth and development.

Gardner Discusses Fallacies Of Lightning By M. E. GARDNFR Exten. N. C. State College Is lightning hot or cold? What are some of the common fallacies about lightning? Where are you safest during an electrical storm? These are a few of the questions about lightning that should be of In terest to all homeowners. A bolt of lightning may be either hot or cold. A hot strike lasts up to one-tenth of a second, Is highly charged and sets fire to Inflammable materials In Its path. A cold Letter To The Editor TO THE PEOPLE OF WARRENTON To The Editor: Two weeks ago Mrs. Prlday and I loaded what personal effects could be packed In the car and headed the car from Philadelphia to Warrenton, hoping to find a comfortable place In which to retire. The choice of location was made only after serious considera tion and to the great concern of relatives and friends who felt the adjustment at our time of life might be too great. In the short time we have been here , the cordiality of our reception has exceeded our expectations and our des serts. Everyone has taken the trouble and Interest to per sonally welcome us to War renton and wished for us a happy stay. These well wishers Include ministers, of ficials of the bank, the county sheriff, librarian, and parti cularly the kindly people who run the Colonial Lodge where we live. To top It off, on Thurs day we received a letter from the Mayor officially wel coming us to Warrenton. Having been In 49 of the 50 states-all but Alaska-It Is with some experience we state we have found no comparable warmth and friendliness and feel compelled to express our feelings In this note In the Record. You all make us feel we have much to do to live up to Warrenton people. LYMAN H. PRIDAY strike Is laster than a hot strike and has an explosive rather than Inflammatory ef fect. There are about twice as many cold strikes to ground objects as hot strikes. Because of the powerful charge In a bolt of lightning (as high as 100,000,000 volts) and its erratic behavior, there has always been much confus ion surrounding this phenome non. Like , lightning never strikes twice In the same place. The fact Is that the Empire State Building Is hit as many as 40 times a year. A grounded television an tenna will protect you and your house. Even If properly grounded, antennas provide only, partial protection. The aerial should be tied Into a conventional protection sys tem to be effective. Metal siding makes a build ing more attractive to lightn ing. The type of covering makes little difference. The Important thing Is to have the home protected by an approv ed arresting system. The White House, Capitol, Nike and Mlnutemen Missies are all protected with exten sive systems. The safest places during electrical storms are about In this order: a building with complete lightning protection; a continuous steel frame structure, properly grounded; on an ocean-going ship, large closed boat, In an airplane or closed automobile. 11 your house has no protec tion, the safest place Is In the middle of a room away from all metal objects. Avoid using the phone, don't stand In an open doorway, open win dow or at the kitchen sink. This should be enough to arouse your Interest and sug gest that you write for this 20-page booklet about protec tion from lightning - The Lightning Protection Institute, 2 North Riverside Plaza, Chicago, 111., 60606.
