In every home, in every school, in every community, in every congregation, in the county, the state, the nation, the world there are things which need to be done. Many of us could help get these things done if we would just get ourselves out of the way! You could change the whole atmosphere of your homes if you weren’t to proud to give in and go not only half way but a whole second mile. 1: is selfishness and pride which gets in the way. How much we could accomplish in the community ;f we were more interested in getting the job done than in getting credit for what we do. The great threat to Amer ica's prosp; rily is that industry shall be stop ped by selfish gimmie-grabbers who would k ■( p factories idle rather than give in on a few cent" per houd wage rates. We need Uadevs who will see that labor, stock-hold ers. end the public benefit when factories aie producing L; bor and capitol are natural I an tiers and must, work together for the good of all. How the nation needs public ser vants who will put the public interest ahead of their personal pocket books. In Judges 6:3-4 it is written "But the Spirit of the Lord clothed itst If with Gideon and he blew a trumpet.’’ We need men who will say to God, '‘Hen- am 1 Take me over, clothe yourself in me Let me get self out of the way. Use me for Thy good purposes.” Pre pared b\ Department of Bible Presbyterian Junior College, Maxton, North Carolina. _ I An Effective ItlorL Medical associations have done much talk ing about socialized medicine. They have fiooled t! ousands upon thousands of dollars week, positive action was taken to head off i socialized medicine. 1 l<i- complete details of the plan are pot available ust now. but there is reason to be hove th;u tiie North Carolina group is mov ing in the light direction and that the ac tion will be an effective block in stalling or pushing back the socialized plan. Already some district groups are attacking the doctors plan as being socialistic. Those gioops should realize that there is a serious p:vglem suuounding medical care and hos- I p.'talization. that the doctors will have to work to solve that problem or socialized medicine will move in, sooner or later. It’s one thing to read statistics, but u is another to see one’s own suffer helplessly. And as the glaring facts are brought to more and mere people, a vacuum will be created into which socialized medicine will be suck ed lock, stock and barrell, come high water 'pr whatnot. 7«S{ Hone After defending the U. S. Supreme Court and maintaining that it could do no wrong, the Old Tory Gang in Congress recently threw oily mud in the Court’s fuc ■ The U. S. Senate, aftei tin- Court had ruled that tidelar.ds oil belonged to the nation as a whole, voted to turn the great natural re source back to the States of Louisiana, Cali fornia and Texas—and the special interests. The senate action was a 'dear- victory for the lobyists, and, in some ways, is as ques tionable as Teapot Dome. Willis Smith and Clyde Hoey tagged along with the old gang, bowing down before the lobbyists and turning their contemptible backs on millions of school children who stood to gain had the court’s decision been recognized. Temptation rarely comes in working hours; it is in their leisure time that men are made or marred.—William Taylor. A Poor F Figures compiled by the State D: prrtment of Public Instruction snow” that the 858.218 boys and girls in average daily membership during 1949-50 were absent Iron school an average of 60.490 duilv.

Perhaps this is to be expected. However, it is further noted that 04. nearly halt of tm 72 city units, have at tendance workers; whereas only 28 of the 100 county units have personnel in this area. The attendance records indicate that atten dance was some better in those units, both city and rural, that, employed attendance workers. Here, then are over 100,000 children who did not get the schooling that could have been theirs, one-eighth of the total enroll ment. Tt is true that the State isn’t, losing any school money on these children since the enrollment of teachers is based on aver age daily attendance. The State does pay, however, in the loss of revenue that the edu cated citizen pays and in the support of in stitutions concerned with welfare and ju venile delinquency. Ignorance is a poor foun dation upon which to make progress.—N. C. School Bulletin. lion Coot! Is \ our I' ord? By Ruth Taylor How good is your word? The other day 1 was sitting in on an argu ment, listening to a group of men heatedly take a situation apart and put it together again. Finally one ehallenged a statement, to be countered with the name of the man who had made the original remark. The challenger quieted down, saying “Well, it must be so then.” I said: “But I disagree with all of his conclusions, but his word is good and he is accurate with his facts. Now that sounded like good article ma terial, so I mentally went over the people I knew. Lots of those with whose conclu sions 1 agreed, 1 found I did not quite trust on the facts But I was heartened by the number of people whose word I would take whether or not the facts were to my liking. The average person isn’t intentionally dis honest. And a great many people whose words are not considered good by their friends would be startled to know thejUare really thought of as liars. They just “didn't wait to get the facts”; they “assumed” what they wanted to say was so: they were “care less" in phraseology; -in short, they slurred oxer what would have spoiled their story. Like the copyist whose eyes and mind are tired, they drop out qualifying clauses—a word at a time until in the end what they say bears little resemblance to the truth. How good is vour word? Think over the men you know. The big ger they are the more apt they are to- be painstaking in their speech. One man, whose word is above reproach, always differenti ates by “This ! know", "It is my considered have not verified this fact”. You always know just what credence to give to each sen tence. What do men say of you? Do they believe what you say? Or do they listen with inter est and then go check up on how much truth there is in it? Or do they say “So-and so says such-and-such. But you can't take his word for it." How good is your word? Would you follow a man in whom vou could not tiust? Of course not! Then if you would win to a position of prominence, re member that all places in the sun are places of responsibility. Be sure that your word is worth taking, that men may believe you, in order that they may believe in you. Entitled To Kmnt Former Attorney McGrath balked when it came to listing his income other than from government sources. It would seem that the request for such a listing was a bit personal. But when McGrath accepted a public job he became, more or less, public property. He owed allegiance first and last to that job without the weight of influence from out side ousincss bearing down upon him The way of the public servant, it is ad mitted, is not easy, but the burden should be weighed conscientiously before the job or office is sought after or accepted. The public is entitled to know all about its servants. “B nr" Ahead for Eisenhower Although he figured prominently in World War II and has struggled with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization army, General Dwight Eisenhower is just before entering his most troublous period. Forces, headed by Candidate Robert Taft, are really going to make war on the general, and if lie wins that one, he’ll have another with the De mocrats.

Brazil Is Wiping Out Illiteracy Although the illiteracy late has always been high in Brazil, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organiza tion reports that now there is such widespread eagerness lo/ .educa tion on the part of adult's that some one million of them arc at tending courses in the ten thou sand new schools that Brazil has built since the national anti-illit eracy campaign was opened in 1947. The demand for elementary anguage training is so great, the statement says, that educational authorities are planning to open many more classes. The average college student to day has had little opportunity to learn what a dollar is worth. Voids Gambler Tax FEDERAL JUDGE George A. Welsh ie shown in his chambers in Phil adelphia after he had ruled that the Jaw requiring bookmakers and numbers operators to register and buy a $50 tax stamp was uncon stitutional. He said it was a “police law” enacted under the guise of a tax bill and was also an invasion of states’ rights. (International) Unemployment In North Carolina Unemployment in North Caro lina, largely temporary, reachec a point last week considerably higher than normal, due in mu jo. part to suspension of operation, for one week by two of the large) textile organizations in the State it is revealed by Col. Henry E Kendall, chairman of the Employ ment Security Commission of North Carolina. Basic causes include higher than usual inventories, uncertain ty of future markets and the real ization that U. S. Government needs are not as extensive as ex pected, based on experiences dur ing World War II. This was re flected m temporary suspension of operations in two of the larger textile null chains following the Easter period for a week, in ad dition to periods of irregular op erations by numbers of other smaller textile and hoisery mills, furniture and apparel plants and the layoffs in seasonal tobacco processing. During the week ended Apri1 26, weeks of unemployment claim ed exceeded 10,000, of which more than 25,000(1 or more than 00 per cent, were in textiles (probably 9.000 to 10,000 of which were from the two chains suspending foi a week); 0,750 were in tobacco; 850 in furniture and 400 were in ap parel. Unemployment in textiles included about 10000 in hoisery. During the four weeks prior to the week ended April 26, the weeks of unemployment for which claims were filed ranged around 26,000 to 30.000, textile unemploy ment increasing through the four weeks from about 40 to about 50 percent of the total. In those weeks the unemployment in to baet pi oeessin temained fairly constant, a., did •mempiovment in luiiinure’ cor.-' struction, which ranged around 550 to 650 in the prior four weeks, was greatly reduced in the week ended April 26. During the first tour months :>f this ycdT, January through April, 'he Commission paid claims for iproximatelv 5111^)00 weeks of unemployment., which is almost wiee the figure for the corres ponding period in 1951. The amount paid out in benefits to •ligible unemployed workers dur ing the four months was almost 58,100.000. The average weekly amount of unemployment bene fits was $10.32, against the week ly average of $13.44 in the com parable four months last year. The increase was dim to the •hange in the weekly benefit amount and also to the fact that 'arger numbers of higher wage corkers have been unemployed luring the first four months of 'his year. Larger comunities experiencing inemployment in the four months period, in relative order are \sheville, Gastonia, Charlotte, Burlington, Hickory, Spray, Mount Airy, Morganton and M»n Be smart check your driver’s :cer ■ now for expiration date.
