r onl> through the medium of Ul'\>ion had the feeling of being in Fairyland Wednesday But there was. of course, much more to the festive occasion in I-ondon than the unfolding of a fairs tale concluded with hope that the Prince and the Princess will live tiappily ever after The British were telling us something, saying it with p-jgeanty no other country in the world can match It was as if Britain were saying, in the spirit of Mark Twain, that the reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated It has become fashionable over the last twenty years to regard Britain not just as a country with problenvs but as a problem country British journalist Geoffrey Smith and American political scientist Nelson Polsbv observed in their recent book British Government and Its Discontents Britain's economic problems lately have been foremost in the news from Ixjndon Although British living standards have risen enormously. as these authors noted British industrial output per man-hour between 1970 and 1978 showed a smaller increase than the output achieved in the United States, or Japan, or Germany, or France, or Canada, or Italy And Britain's economic troubles have worsened in the early 1980s Not only has Britain lost economicstatus vis-a-vis the other major countries It also has suffered loss of international influence The old Empire is gone If Britain came out of the Second World War as one of the great powers of the world, for some years now it has occupied something less than that exalted position in the eyes of most of the world British society hardly has collapsed, but many an American lately has had doubts about British stability enlarged as riots in British cities have dominated American headlines Authors Smith and Polsby could say. even before the recent riots, that n^ longer ls there the automatic belief that Britain is a successful, well-run country which can look with superiority, tempered with compassion, on the way in which others do things in less fortunate lands " The British nut mrprismglv. have been psychological)'. hurt by declines in international status suggesting that Britain is destined to a rank rii. better thai st'i ond-class ■ ountry Still there was nothing second-class ibout the pageantry that surrounded the wedding of Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, and I-ady Diana Spencer, his seventh cousion once removed, the first Kriglish lady to be rhe bride of the heir to the Crown in England in three ' enturies The British enjoyed every moment of their dramatic appearance on the world stage, which must be described as a performance that only a great people could have achieved Their confidence in their country and its influence in the family of nations surely was raised And millions of Americans looking in upon the grand show of dignity and splendor and joy and hope could not help have new. and more positive, thoughts about British stability and influence The British Crown, as commentators have reminded us repeatedly, is cement that holds a proud nation together Just now the Crown gives the British nation resolution to rise above all sorts of difficulties in order that it may see anew and perform its elevated role in civilization The British are, indeed, a civilized people m a world in which civilization and certainly civility seem to have lost face They are a people with a sense of values that haven't gone out of date Through their literature and other forms of expression British values still can inspire nations, even nations currently enjoying economic and political prowess that no longer gives Britain distinction One of those values was symbolized by the marriage of Prince Charles and I-ady Diana Spencer When all the muchpublicized trivia surrounding the royal wedding are forgotten, a moment during the ceremony worth remembering was the Archbishop of Canterbury delivering his eloquent sermon, obviously to the world beyond as well as to the wedding guests within St Paul's Cathedral, especially the moment of his saying that if humankind solves all the economic problems and failed to build loving families, it would profit us nothing Mostly Personal Visiting Mountains Again H> blt.s \L.i JONtS i in h nday ^aturd^y mid Sunday July -4 25 we 1 ;.ade uui second visit of the veal to the mountains ot North I arollna tills time ilrn mg around (liai . iltr and follow Lng a Ulle of oulltif s tfmt bordered on South i alolilui w hil'h w aj .a! gfl> new territory to 'i!a»f Mi walO \J111 and to 1 tir I<-i ritory ui Jai ksoii I r aiisy Iv ania and parts of fl .A) v\ » *!

With constructive study of our system we can adopt a judicial system that will take care of our needs and satisfy our American sense of justice This system should merge the county sheriff's department with the magistrate office for many constructive and competent reasons With modern law enforcement procedures this merger can function efficiently with less w aiting time and more working time Trained sheriff's deputies can function as justices of the peace for minor violations or offens es, perform the duties of the magistrate on a rotating basis, patrol the county arid take control of their law enforcement duties with less cost to the county Sheriff's deputies could learn to set bail and determine the cases that are in the jurisdiction of the district and superior courts which handle most cases under due processes of law The county sheriff's department should consist of one deputy sheriff for every electoral precinct in each county The sheriff, an elective officer, will act as the commanding officer of the justice of the peace system and the clei k of the superior court and staff will a^t as the judicial administrator of this inferior court JAMES W BYRD Retired Law Enforcement Officer Littleton July Was Hot And Dry Two days of July share the high temperature honors for the month, according to a report made this week by Clarence Skill man of Areola, a cooperative observer for the U.
