Friday. Audits! 2l). IV17 !\o liixmi Woman, waiting admission to the State Hospital in Raleigh, found hanged in Wayne County jail, reads a press story coming out of Goldsboro a few days ago. Committed to the jail on Monday, the 11(1 vear-old woman was found dead the follow ing Wednesday morning. Papers had been filed after the old hocus pocus method, and all the unfortunate per son had to do was wait in the common jail until there was room for her in the State institution. It appears that one of North Carolina’s ways of treating the mentally ill is to keep them confined in common jails where they are fed on promises. But the "no room” sign apparently is not all that's wrong The victim in the case had declared that she preferred death to another .day in the institution where she had spent a few months several years ago. There’s something terribly wrong some where, and the conditions, it would seem, warrant a full-scale investigation if not ac tion bv a special session of North Carolina’s general Assembly. kuou About i'usi'ism. 7oo Democracy has two ideological opponents in the world today—not just one. Com munism may be the more' potent now, but fascism, although it suffered a devastating blow in the last war, is not dead. Americans should know all about commu nism. its workings and its dangers They should also know all about fascism We are glad, therefore, that the House of Representatives has finally voted to publish a document on “Fascism in Action," as a counterpart to the one on “Communism in Action" published last year. The latter, prepared by the legislative reference service of the Library of Congress, was an excel lent, well documented discussion of all phases of communism. The same service has prepared the document on fascism. Opponents of the fascist document claimed that it would take the eyes of Americans off the Communists, both at home and abroad We have no : h fears. We hope it will cause Americans to keep their eyes open to the potential Fascists in this country— the Klan. the Columbians, the Gerald Smith outfits and the other hate groups. It should also serve to decrease the number of Americans who look tolerantly or admiringly on the Fascists in Spain and Argentina.—The Milwaukee Journal. M hy H e_re the Saints, Saints? By Ruth Taylor “Why were the saints, saints? Because they were cheerful when it was difficult to be cheerful; patient when it was difficult to be patient, and because they pushed on when they wanted to stand still, and kept silent when they wanted to be disagreeable. That was all. It was quite simple and al ways will be." This motto hangs over my desk and is a daily reminder when things pile up,and my temper begins to fray at the edges. For the days of the saints are not past. The need for saintly people was never greater than it is today. Today we need cheerful people—those who can be cheerful when it is difficult to be so, who are more interested in bringing happiness and prosperity to others than in getting what they themselves want. Today we need patient people—those who can wait under difficulties, who do not need to rush through to the end, who do not have to have everything happen at once just as they want it. Today we need persevering people—those who will push on when they are so tired they want to stand still, who will carry through the task before them even when ! heart and body fail, who do not give up under fire or criticism or complaint. Today we need thoughtful people as well ! as those who know when to talk and when | to be still. We need agreeable people - those | who are trained in the habit of being kind j and courteous even when tempted to be dis | agreeable. We need self controlled people— those who will not fall into the traps of hatred toward any group, whether it be of class or creed or color. Call them saints if you will, it is those kind of people we need today, and it is the kind of sainthood that is within reach of every one of us. It is a daily task, a daily problem. Try it for one day, and the next, and the next. You may fail every now and then. I cio. We all do—but, if we keep on trying, the effort will become a habit and we will find our problems solving them selves. Why were the saints, saints? Because I they kept on living what they believed. It was quite simple and it always will be. Loii'oring Standards Congressional investigations have in the past made such a notable contribution to good government that critics of current in vestigations are usually, reluctant to offer criticism through fear that even justified at tacks on one committee might lower the prestige of such committees as a whole1. However, members of Congressional com mittees have no one to thank except them selves for the criticism which has followed the lowered standards of such committees. Perhaps a new low was reached on Tues day when Joseph Padway, general counsel of the American Federation of Labor, was assaulted in a committee room at Los An geles by Irving McCann, counsel for a sub committee of the House Committee on Edu cation and Labor. To command respect, Congressional com mittees must conduct themselves in a man ner worthy of respect.—News and Observer. I, rilin'; II lull Hr l*4ty I'or Regardless of how little or how much the bill is, one usually gets just about what he pays for. One of the main troubles plaguing us in this fair land today is.found in our ( tastes. We spend more for candy than we do for books. We spend more for liquor than we do for education. We spend for cosmetics and the things once known in this land and still known in other lands as luxuries. We have bought our way into a state of confusion, and we wonder why we are in such a meluva mess. As long as we spend so much for things of questionable value, we can't expect much but contusion and deterioration. i Hit Of liifornuilioii Some of our readers may wonder why General Motors has recently kited the price of its cars another 100 bucks. Another an nouncement, from a different source, releas ed on the same day as the latest price boost notice, states that General Motors, while losing $19,004,000 in 1946 had made up the little slack with a profits for the first SIX MONTHS of 1947 of $147,622,834. The iron and steel industry in the first quarter of 1946 had a profit after taxes of $2 million but m the first quarter of 1947 the same outfit has made a $124 million profit. Windsor Ledger-Advance. (>ot I Hrt'ttli The nation got a break a short time ago when Congress adjourned, and the over worked solons left for various parts of the world for a five-month vacation. After reviewing the work of the 80th ses sion. one can more fully appreciate what the British mean when they say, "God save the King." liimning-Sticlk "A tiger will not molest you if you carry a white can," says an explorer. That would depend, we should think, upon how fast you carried it.—Cincinnati Enquirer. A statesman is a politician who is shrewd enough and tough enough to stay in office long enough to become a statesman.—Sen. Eugene D. Millikin (R., Col.), in answer to a colleague wlgp had rebuked him for being a politician instead of statesman. A radio comic made the suggestion that the flying discs seen by so many people was merely Bing Crosby throwing away Sinatra i ecords.—Exchange. St. Chrysostom said: Which man is free— the nobleman who lies drunk on a luxurious couch, or the young slave who stands sober nearby? Contentment must be sipped: no gulped. Like the bee, we have to visit many flowers, finding a tmy. bit ot honey here and a tiny bit there.—Exchange. CHURCH NEWS BAPTIST Ira D. S. Knight. Pastor. Margaret Wacaster, Education al director.
