Always Rains on Monday and Thursday
One of tin young men who deliver
the Chapel Hill Weekly, remarked re
cent !v that ht didn’t realize it rained
> c,
ever , Monday and Th .t. day until he
started carry ing our 'new-paper. (For
the benefit of reader.- who get the
Weekly by mail it should be pointed
out that the paper is delivered by
carrier on those afternoons.;
The youngster had a very good
point, for it seems that the weather
has been pretty awl d on Mondays and
Thursdays of recent weeks. It certain
ly reminded us that carrier boys on
all newspapers dc.-< rve a lot of praise
for their time and effort. Whil* other
boys their age are out playing Hall
or engaged m some other recreation,
the carr.'-r is making certain that your
favorite new-paper is delivered to your
front door.
Jf Chapel Jlill is typical of the rest
of the country, parents of carrier boys
also deserve a lot of credit. Mothers,
especially, take time off on a busy day
! to help. J a-\ it rain or snow, and, re
gardless of the work at home, they
often home down to tin* Weekly in
the car to help the youngster with his
route. If they don’t carry him around
in an automobile, they see to it that
( he has his raincoat or overcoat. They
make certain that the papers are de
livered properly and on time.
We can’t help Cut feel that this
makes for a better relationship be
j tween parents and their children. It’s
a matter of teamwork that will bring
dividends in later life.
How do we know? Well, we were
fortunate enough to have such an ex
perience when w'e were a boy. And
like the Weekly carrier, we always
felt that the weather was bad on
the days that we had to deliver our
newspaper.-—0.8.C.

Comments on the Baths in an
Expanding Economy
(From the ii-altimore Sun)
Without preliffnhary remarks, wt*
reprint herewith a paragraph from an
article written by Mr. Arno H. John
son, a New York advertising executive,
for the magazine “Challenge:”
"If you divide the population up into
income quartiles, you will find that
the people in the prewar higher in
come groups took a great many more
baths than in the.next income groups,
and so on down the scale. Yet, tlx*
self-interest of tin* manufacturer,
through the various pressures of maga
zines and television advertising, can
help to change the bathing habits of
people whose incomes have gone up
during the last sixteen years,’’
, T.he idea, of course, would be to
sell more soap, and more water, and
more pipe for water to go through, and
gas or oil to heat it with, etc., etc.,
and so to contribute to an expanding
economy. *

a well-washed nation is necessarily a
great nation we will not venture, ex
cept to note that psychiatrists know
a thing or two about excessive bath
ing. But what if people'-simply don’t
want, or don’t think they, need, more
baths? •
Mr. Johnson has an answer to that
too. His answer (taken completely out
of context, because il is more fun
that way) is this:
"1 don’t think you can rely entirely
on consumers telling you what they
want or ’Jvhat they need, because their
needs, their motives, are based on con

NORTH CAROLINA HAS LONG BEEN sort of
a blitck sheep in the Southern family of state*?. Its
leaders have been far more progressive than the lead
ers of its Southern sisters, and, unfortunately, far
more progressive than tin* mass of its people.
When I say “unfortunately,” 1 mean that it is
unfortunate not that the leaders are so, far ahead, of
the people hut that the people are so far behind the
leaders. The only saving thing about the situation is
that our people are not as far to the rear in the march
of human progress as are the citizens of many of our
neighboring states and those of the Deep South. *
The political leaders of North Carolina’ at one
time could have been called “liberal" and no one would
have been embarrassed hy the use of the word. Such
is not the case today. Things changed, you see, on
May 17. 1951. when the United States Supreme Court
consigned a doctrine known as "separate but equal”
to tin- juridical ashcan.
Since May 17. 1954? race and question of segrega
tion versus integration have become powerful jxjliti
eal issues. We have gone back to th*: red shirt days.
Not all the way hack, to he sure, hut far enough back
to make me sick at my stomach. Because I had to
sit in the halls of the General Assembly last spring
and listen to people like Byrd Satterfield of Person
Uountv preach the supremacy of the white race.
Happily, there is hojs; for the future. The college
generation has proven itself far more tolerant than
its elders. It has proven this, in the majority of cases,
in a negative way, But it has proven it nevertheless.
Using the University as an example, we can easily
see that some of the campus leaders openly defy the
political stands of their counterparts on the state level
by solidly aligning themselves with the proponents of
a gradual program of integration in the public schools.
The large majority of students have proven them
selves to he tolerant simply hy NOT making fools of
themselves and disgracing the state hy staging flu
sort of riots which have occurred in the last week at
the University of Alabama.
At Alabama, the University administration admit
ted a Negro student on court order. Jn a matter of
hours, the riots had begun. A thousand students (if
the press reports are not exaggerated) gathered to
throw eggs and rocks and mudballs at the colored
girl, at her escorts, and at the automobile in which
she was being carried away from the campus.
At the University of North Carolina, three under
graduate Negro boys entered classes along with hun
dreds of other freshmen last fall. There were no riots,
no friction, and no “incidents” of any kind. According
to Associated Press reporter Bryan Haislip, who was
on the campus, a week ago to look into the situation,
The hoys said they haven’t had a hit of trouble. Bryan
is writing a story which will be released hy the AP
probably jwithin the next week or so describing the
easy and painless process of integration which has
occftred at the I Diversity here. How different is the
North Carolina campus from the Alabama campus.
The North Carolina problem, of course, is not as
simple as it would appear from the campus reaction
to integration. There is a world of difference between
integrating three colored hoys into a white student
body of (5,500, and integrating, say 800 colored chil
dren with 200 white children in a high school in Bertie
County. Then* are serious problems to he solved here,
and it will take many years to solve them.
But look aU Alabama. If integration of one colored
girl in a large white college student body incites a
thousand persons of college age and college-level intel
lect to riot, what will happen when integration on the
lower levels is attempted? I’m afraid it’s liable to be
bloody.
I can offer no answer to the problem. I can only
thank God that i live in North Carolina instead of
Alabama.
