No Subscription Received Under B Month* Tuesday. December 5. 1950 s I Saint*’ for thv Tram Coach Maynard and his boys arc to be congratulated for their enviable record at tained in football this season, and it goes without saving that the town and others are proud of them. Fans and friends glory in the championship record, but they are equally impressed with these isuos too often branded as side issues, but, after all, are as aqually important as victory itself. The young men, for the most part, have impressed others with their good sportsman ship and recognition of the rules of the game. During the great reception given the re turning boys on the main street here Sat urday evening, Principal B. G. Stewart complimented them upon the good conduct displayed during their three-dav trip. While the little rally centered around a victorious team, the principal's remarks carried weight and pointed to an asset far more valuable than the big end of a football game score. Here's to more victories and champion ships. but let them continue to be with hon or and real purpose. i.ust Mi-ols II <•$( Traveling with their footbjkll team, quite a few easteners met westerners in Gaston County last week-end and our people were favorably impressed. The representatives numbering more than 2(H), declared they were impressed by the friendliness of thi* Bessemer City people whose sportsmanship was maintained on a high level and who valued the higher ideals of the game above victory itself. “We would prefer to gain and hold your friendship than win," more than one Besse mer City fan was quoted as saying. Hardly knowing what to expect when they left for the west, members of Williamston's team learned in due time they were against a formidable opponent, but they readily realised the Bessemer City boys were not p! vmg I'uI MBW* While local Ians were pleased uith d.e score, the fi iciulh reception accorded them by Bessemer City will long be remembered after the field victory is forgotten. \tt Ohjevtioo “Loan to Argentina geared to bail out U S, traders," reads a headline. The loan in queftion runs well in excess of one hundred million dollars, and has the strong backing of United States business in terests in Argentina and in Argentina trade, ’The loan may be in perfect order, but it has its undertones. Strangely enough, the economizers who yell and shout and holler about a Commodity Credit Corporation loan to American farmers are quiet on the Ar gentina loan front In other words, it is all right for the gov ernment to risk its dollars in the name of business men, but it is socialistic for the gov ernment to risk its dollars in the najne of the tillers of the soil and the workingmen. /Vol/iiiig To It run tfimil ' Russia, if war comes, will be at a disad vantage because of its low educational stan dards, a commentator explains. If the examinations at Army receiving stations in this country are on the level, we haven't too much to brag about. It would seem, judging from the trend of events, that somebody hasn’t enough educa tion to keep the peace, and now we are told that somebody has enough education to fight a war. We’ll trade war education for peace ed lication any time. The largest room in the world—i"oom for ■elf-improvement.—Exchange. Hard To Folloir General Douglas MacArthur may be eve rything his worshippers claim him to be, but the warror is a bit hard to follow in far away Korea. In mid-October our forces were literally trapped. Possibly he Is not to be held ac countable, but a second and far more dan gerous trap was sprung in November, after the hero general was credited with saying the Chinese would not enter the war and that the boys would be home for Christmas. Possibly the general was making the most of a gamble in an effort to end the war, and regardless of how bitter they are, the re verses are to be accepted. But if the general planned the daring advance beyond the realm of reasonable military strategy, then it is about time to hold some body account able. General MacArthur, it is alleged, shif ted the burden to other service branches in his daring exploits during World War II. The Navy delivered back there, but so far no one has been able to step in and get our men out of a jam in Korea before casualty tolls mounted. Religion Ami Our Lit us The question is: To what extent do our everyday laws stem from religion? . . Perhaps our current philosophy of life would be more clear and would provide a better direction for our material objectives if we remind ourselves of some government al antecedents. Our predecessors were not only willing to recognize and do obeisance to a Power high er than themselves but they expressly so stated in permanent form. The first formal act of our nation was its Declaration of In dependence in 1776 wherein the Creator was specifically named as the source of the equality of man and his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That docu ment was not only a Declaration of Inde pendence from England but was also a dec laration of dependence on God for all of our rights and liberties. Before the adoption of our federal consti tution states that the people are “grateful to Almighty God for the blessings of lib erty.” It has been well said that the American Revolution was “a revolution of believers,” and George Washington declared that “re ligion and morality are indispensable sup ports to government.” No profound study is required to estab lish that many of the most important Qf our mundane enactments are but humaj^ at- ' tempts to carry out the fundamental teach ings of religion. The Ten Commandments are not so desig nated in our secular law books nor is Moses there mentioned. Nevertheless, his moral code, if we may use that term, is reflected in the present laws of every civilized na tion. The laws of Moses have retained rec ognition for thousandsyof years merely be cause he was able to classify in temporal language the basic precepts toward right and wrong. Notwithstanding the eminence of Christ’s teachings at numerous places under varying circumstances, many Biblical scholors held that he rose to the zenith of His power in the Sermon on the Mount and some con t<-’.hv-t:' • He had nothing else, •, casion alone would have marked Him as one of the most influential teachers of all time. In the public mind that sermon is probably best remembered in its condensed form, known as the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as ye would be done by.” And wheth er legislators or congressmen know it or not they are constantly seeking to enforce that rule. . . . The late John M. Zane, one of the leading practicing lawyers of recent years, wrote, “Religion has probably done more that all other influences to mould the human race to a reign of law. Moral law stands behind and upholds the legal system."—Lansing (Mich.) State Journal. /loir Much Loft Tin1 nation’s corporations this year art reaping a $37-billion profit-an all-time high Taxes will cut that figure to $22 billion That’s a fairly sizable amount, and it is rea soned that a four billion-dollar excess profits tax will not place the crops on charity, that they will have something left. Individual income taxes and the bare ne cessities of life leave the individual without no such comparative amount. Clean Out The Surplua Yugoslavia is facing starvation, and to hold the friendship of Tito, the United States is willing to accept Spain’s Franco, guts, feathers and all. Millions for relief are con sidered. Now, we have been reminded of the vast surplus of foods, dehydrated and stored in caves in this country. Whv not clean out the surplus, relieve the condition the critics have yelled so long and loud about, and at the same time, feed the hungry? "711 Ocean Drive"!

Kidnap insurance was taken out in behalf of the stars and director Joseph H. Newman, and Los An geles police assigned a number of its top-fight Gangster Squad of ficers to the production. In Los Angeles, in Boulder Dam anrl in other communitie* here the pic ture was filmed, in order to tell the story where it happened the way it happened, city, county and state police cooperated fully. Dol ing the climatic sequences of the picture, in the labyrinthine tun nels of the dam rangers of 1he U S. Department of Interior were on hand to see to it that no overt incidents took place. Edmond O’Brien is seen in ‘711 Ocean Drive" as an electronics ex- | pert who turns his knowledge to i helping a bookie outfit, and grows . with it until he has control of the California set-up. Miss Dru is co starred in the film as the cultured wife of a rival “Syndicate” part ner, who tries to take over O’Brien’s outfit, and almost suc ceeds. —o Visited Here From Bethel Mrs. Harvey Manning of Bethel visited friends here Sunday.
