lion About Tlif i.honan?
Governor Scott has approved a special
highway fund allocation of about throe and
one-half million dollars for the construction
of half dozen bridges. Included in the pro
jects is a new bridge across Rogue Sound
between Atlantic Reach and Morehead City.
Possibly that and the other five bridges are
needed.
Rut what about the Chowan River Rridge?
Many months have passed since the bridge
was limited to heavy traffic and almost ruled
unfit for any type of traffic. Possibly, funds
arc available for the Chowan project and
possibly factors beyond the commission’s
control are delaying action. Rut if the Cho
wan project is being relegated to the posi
tion of the red-headed stepchild, then some
thing should be done about it.
Construction has proceeded on mountain
tops for tourists and bridges are being plan
ned and built for the resorts, but apparent
ly nothing is being done to remedy a bottle- I
neck on one of the most important traffic
routes in this entire section of the State.

The University of Iowa is including a pro
gram of foreign studies in its general curric
ulum this fall, explaining that our times call
for a broader knowledge and a deeper under
standing of peoples and lands which a
shrinking globe is bringing ever closer to
us.
The Des Moines Register comments:
"It is not enough for us to learn a country’s
mean annual rainfall, the radio of its im
ports to its exports, its form of government
and the important events in its history.
“These facts are important, but to be really
meaningful they must be tied together into
the whole that constitutes a people and a
nation. We need to know the people as hu
man beings with certain important motivat
ing traits and traditions. We need to know
what social forces have shaped their hopes,
their fears and their predjudices. We need
to speak to them in their own language in
stead of waiting for them to learn ours. . .”
Kitliciilom
Representative John Dingell of Michigan
offers a ridiculous solution to the water
shortage in Korea. He suggest soaking the
armed forces in beer. Once a queen when
told her subjects were dying for the want
of bread, suggested that they eat cake.
It Is ridiculous for a representative of the
people to make such a statement. If uncon
taminated water can’t be found and supplied
the men, it would seem that the task of sup
plying beer would be even more difficult if
m not impossible.
One of the greatest labor saving inven
tion of today is tomorrow. —Exchange.

It is good to note that the people have con
fidence in their leaders, that they are ready
to support them in a progressive mo"o.
The fact that .‘121 of the 345 participating
in the election are in favor of going forward
instead of backward is a good omen. Surely,
the proposed undertaking will cost money,
but it is even more certain that no one else
is going to do something which we are char
ged to do for ourselves.
There is no time to go into debt, but the
fact that expanded facilities are sorely need
ed should be sufficient to s1*' port the action
now, leaving the other factors to the gods
of chance.
Somothing In Wrong
About half century ago, a greater part of
the Roanoke River Swamp across from the
town of Williamston was traded for one-half
interest in a small-village ice house. Mil
lions upon millions of feet of timber were
priced at a song without a chorus.
According to a report reaching here a few
days ago, No. 2 gum lumber was being
bought by the government at $116 per thou
sand foot. The transaction was handled in
Atlanta, the report stated. About the same
time, the type lumber the government was
paying $116 for was quoted at about $45 per
thousand feet in other areas.
There could be some mistake—it sounds
as if there is but if the report is true, then
something is wrong. The price charged for
such sorry timber makes a striker look like*
an angel, and a deserter a patriot.
Objorliros
Whatever the ultimate aims may be, it is
fairly evident that Russia’s immediate ob
jective is to promote revolutionary and iso
lated wars, and that the United States is
equally determined to prevent these small
revolutionary or Communist wars even at
tlu> cost of a world war.
The Marshall Plan, although bogged down
in politics and trade advantages, offered
some hope for peace and progress, has been
all but brushed aside, and we are out to buy
friends with bombs and dollars. In desert
ing that objective, we have set the course
toward big war. It is to be hoped that a
. a»’^^l after
Korea where the objective will lx1 peace and
good will toward ail mankind.
WHAT IS YOUR PRICE
llv Ruth Taylor.
What is your price?
Ask that of any man, and the chances are
you’ll get an indignant answer “1 don’t wear
a price tag I’m not for sale.”
But unfortunately too many people have
a price of some sort. They wouldn’t take a
money bribe—fewer people do than is real
ized. However, they do ask favors—and re- |
turn them. They don’t speak out when they I
should, for fear of offending someone of im- |
portance to them. They don’t want to ‘‘hurt 1
people’s toolings,” by telling a bold and un
pleasant truth. They are willing to compro
mise with issues in order to gain a point.
They are warped by prejudices and swayed
by their likes and dislikes.
The man without a price, the incorrupti
ble man, is a man above price. He has an
anchor in his principles. He is not moved
by fear or favor. He stands on truth as he
sees it, and he is strong in the hour of crisis.
He is dependable in both small and large
things. His word is good because it is never
given carelessly.
The incorruptible man is not afraid. He
wil speak out against evil wherever it exists.
But he will not condemn his fellow men
without due cause—and then never mis
judge a group by the action or opinions of
one man. He holds no unreasoning preju
dices. He treats his fellow men as indi
viduals and respects their beliefs us he de
mands respect for his own. The only aris
tocracy he recognizes is the aristocracy of
character, of good thoughts, of good man
ners. He neither looks down at or up to
his neighbor. He is tolerant of everything
except intolerance.
Given a nation of incorruptible men and
the world could be a world at peace. The
world will always follow the strong man,
and the incorruptible man has an inner
strength that is never more apparent than
in the hour of adversity. He is like the city
founded on a rock. The incorruptible man
is the honor, and the base, of a good com
munity or a great nation.
What is your price?
