The future of the State and
nation lies in its children. They
can be educated and trained as
good citizens, or they can be ig
nored by a crowed hit-or-miss ed
ucational system that is the cre
ation of tax-conscfous, dol'ar
minded legislators with no vision
and wind up is ignorant, malad
justed, psycopathic criminals,
wastrels, drunkards and do-noth
ings living #n the relief rolls.
The State is letting down tts
children for the next two years.
They can talk about 70-odd cents
out of every tax dollar going to
, public education, but it wasn’t
enough. The job should be done
—and it should be done right—
if it takes 99c out of every tax
dollar or even if, perish the
•thought, they should have to raise
taxes.
After all, the State of North
Carolina—which means the peo
ple of North Carolina — has as
sumed the obligation of educat
ing its children. It is an obliga
tion that must be met to the full
est extent, not one that can be
half-met and then have the failure
covered up with soothing, syrupy
whitewash.
Two years from now the obli
gation will be greater, because
there will be more children in
North Carolina.
The folks who give a whoop
about the future of this State
had better see to it that they
send men of courage, conviction,
vision and faith’to the 1953 Gen
era! Assembly,
There is no place either in the
Hall of the House or in the Sen
ate Chamber for men who see
only dollar signs when they look
at a school house.
One of the veterans making a
pitch for a State handout to vet
erans was a student at Shaw
University, but a native of Jones
county. In the middle of his
speech to the Senate Propositions
and Grievances Committee, h«
spoke very effusively to Senator
John Larkins, Jr., of Jones.
Larkins smilingly explained
later that the boy was a close
relative of the Progressive Party
candidate who ran against him in
1948 and gathered a total of four
votes.
Who says the lobbyists don’t
know what's what? The theatre
lobbyists always hand out passes
to legislators at the beginning of
the session. Oddly enough, those
given the lawmakers this year
just haggp^l to expire on April
14—the exact date the Legisla
ture adjourned. Could it be mere
coincidence?
Kerr Scott was to toss out the
first ball when the Raleigh base
l«all team opened its home season
the other night* He took to the
mound, threw a pitch toward the
catcher. It bounced before it got
there. A second toss had the
same trouble. But on the third
pitch, the Governor tossed a per
fect strike smack across the
plate.
That persistency Is a trait his
political enemies might do well to
watch. Most tossers-of-first-balls
in the season heave one out and
quit, whether it’s a good pitch or
not. But the man from fiaw
River kept pitching until he had
a strike.
One of the smartest pitches
he’s made lately was the curve
he heaved at the Legislature in
the form of appointments to the
State Board of education. He
named two women—Dr. Roma
Cheek of Durham, author of book
advocating reorganization of
State government, and Margery
Alexander of Charlotte, NCEA
lobbyist—to succeed J. Harold
Lineberger of Belmont and A. S
Brower of Durham.
The joint session of the Legis
lature refused to even vote on
the two women, much less affirm
their appointments. They couldn’t
stomach Miss Alexander, who has
carried her lobbying to their home
towns with speeches denouncing
some of the lawmakers.
So, the Governor is left in this
position: He satisfied women
voters and the teacher organiza
tions by his appointments. He
put the Legislature in the posi
tion of slapping at both. He still
has two good members of the
board in Lineberger and Brower.
And, if there should be resigna
tions, he can appoint either or
both of the two women jf he de
sires, subject to confirmation by
the next General Assembly.
Kinda reminds you of last Oc
tober and the Murray James-Jeff
Johnson maneuver.

tion of Labor has gained 111 new

I WILL NOT GROW
WEARY
I cannot, I dare not, I will not
grow weary.
The Sword of the Spirit must
not be laid down.
Though rugged and thorny the
path of my calling.
Beyond the rough cross I have
sighted the crown.
The storms will subside in the
grey of the morning,
The night will but last till the
dawning appears.
The high noon of His glory will
banish the shadows,
The charm of His Presence will
scatter our fears.
In conflicts and battles 111 lean
hard upon Him,
When sickness and sorrows en
compass my soul,
Like a bird on glad pinions I’ll
fly to the Saviour,
My "Jesus, My Healer, who
maketh me whole.
I
As I watch for His Coming, I
will not grow weary,
For soon, like the lightning
from East to the West
Will flash the glad tiding, MThe
Bridegroom is coming!”
Blest morning of freedom, cor
onation and rest!
Then, immortal, shall I in His
glory behold Him,
For the clouds that hang over
my vision today
Will vanish like mist from the
mountains of morning.
And I shall pass on, with my
Saviour to stay.
—Fred T. Fuge in “The Midnight
Cry."
THE HOLY LIFE
There is a faith unmixed with
doubt,
A love all free from fear
A walk with Jesus, where is felt
His presence always near.
There is a rest that God bestows,
Transcending: pardon's peace
A lowly, sweet simplicity,
Where inward conflicts cease.
There is a service God-inspired,
A zeal that tireless grows,
Where self is crucified with
Christ, *
And.joy unceasingly flows.
There is a being “right with
Cod,”
That yields to His commands
Unswerving, true fidelity—
A loyalty that stanza.
There is a meekness, free from
pride,
That feels no anger rise
At slights, or hate, or ridicule.
But Counts the Cross a prise.
There is a patience that endures
Without a fret or care,
But joyful sings, “His will be
My Lortfssweet grace I share.”
There is a purity of heart,
A cleanness of desire,
Wrought by the Holy Comforter
With sanctifying power.
There id a glory that arwaits
Each blood-washed soul on high,
When Christ returns to take His
Bride
With Him beyond the sky.
