WILLIAMSTON, NORTH CAROLINA Entered at the post office in Williamston, \ N C.. as second-class matter under the act $ of Congress of March 3, 1879. $ Address all communications to The Enter- S' prise and not in Lvidual members of the (f firm. S No Subscription Received Under 6 Months Thursday. June 5. 1t).r*2 Gradually Rcint> Undermined Only a few have come out to boldly op pose it, but the farm program is gradually being undermined by the reactionaries, in cluding several in the Democratic ranks close home. The irish potato program has been dis carded, and as a result growers have re ceived comparatively little while consum ers in a single year were forced to pay many millions of dollars in excess of the cost when the program was in effect. Peanuts are rapidly being singled out as the next target of the reactionaries, and it is predicted that the program, sooner or later, will go the way of the irish potato. If the Flue-Cured Stabilization Coopera tive takes 200 million pounds of tobacco from the 1952 crops, as it is predicted that it will have to do, and if the Republicans take over in Washington next January, then it will be time to start running for shelter. North Carolina has an advantage under the tobacco program, but, unfortunately, it has no one to turn to in the Senate if and when that advantage is challenged along with other features of the farm program. The Christian Viewpoint Teachers are taken for granted. Children do not appreciate them just as they do not fully value parents until the children are mature men and women, often with child ren of their own. Good teachers pour opt their lives because they love young people and know how valuable they are to society and their great possibilities for worthwhile growth and development, they are sustained in their constant self-giving. Of course there are com pen-sations. It is so much more in ’ e M': > i if o V/’ ,V<J1 k With with things. One gets a satisfaction in see ing youth grow and blossom forth into the full beauty of gracious womanhood and Jelling manhood Then one has more and more friends each year as the students pass through and out from the classes. Woodiow Wilson once said, “Friendship is the greatest usury from any business”. The apostle John wrote the words to a mother, but they apply equally to a teacher: “1 rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth” (II John 4).—Prepared bv Department of Bible, Presbyterian Junior College, Max ton. North Carolina. Almost Perfect An inventor is patenting a machine that will select a cigarette, light it and pulf it one time for the busy motor vehicle driver. The inventor says that it will enhance safe ty. The gadget is almost perfect, to be sure. Now, to reach a state of greater perfection, the inventor should make gadget that would select, light and, after smoking it most of the way to the butt, throw it out the win dow. The motorist would be assured of get ting no smoke in his eyes and safety would be enhanced all the more. Knoic Tl\em By Their lets There are those animals that can be class ified as hogs by their acts rather than by their looks. During the threatened oil shortage, an In dianapolis motorist drove into a filling sta tion and instructed the attendant to “fil ’er up”. That station man ran the tank over with nine cents worth of gas. “You cannot disregard God and ignore his moraJ laws and not expect to reap a harvest of rottenness.”—Dr. Frederick C. Fowler, | president, National Association *of Evange ‘ licals. I A flood scare is worth ir.ora to a man than m food advice,—E. W. Howe. Awful Vncertainty of the Future It is a gloomy moment in history Not ii the lifetime of any man who reads this pape; has there been so much grave and deep ap prehension; never has the tuture seemd s< dark and incalculable. and bubbles With uncertainty. England and the English Empire is beinf sorely tried and exhausted in a social anc economic struggle, with turmoil at home xsr.-.ii r.i -a’ nadiions in non inited States is beset with racial. in dustrial and commercial chaos drifting, wc know not where. Russia hangs like a storm cloud on the horizon of Europe—dark and silent. It is a solemn moment, and no man can feel in difference, which happily no man pretends to feel in the issue of events. Of our own troubles, no man can sec the end. Harper’s Magazine, October 10, h">47. Man's Dunn fall Is Duo In II is Own Folly H. R. Fisher. It is sad but true. The condition we are in is very humiliating, because there is no justification for it. We must ask ourselves: Are we guilty of creating these conditions? If so, in what way? The reply is, we have allowed the material impulses to lead us astray, to the extent that we have lost all sense of moral and spiritual values. We have lost contact with God by pursuing material things, which have no value in God’s sight. He has made us a great nation. By losing cantact with God, we have lost His leader ship and have become derelict on life’s sea of illusions without a rudder to guide our course. Have we not legalized the very agencies that have produced the evils that have de moralized mankind and have deprived them of spirit and confidence? Behold what havoc has been wrought by man’s devilish de vices! We are now reaping an abundant har vest of crime and corruption from the seed sown in the past. May the Merciful God have mercy upon the guilty, and bless those who are strug gling to regain honor and dignity, which we have lost by indiffernce toward God and His ' laws which He provided for our guidance. With an humble and contrite heart we ack nowledge our unworthiness, most gracious God. We ask Thy forgiveness for our dis obedience in breaking Thy laws which Thou hast established. Raason For Frida The country is taking much pride in the new Atlantic Speed Queen, The USS United Stales. It promises to beat the Queen Mary’s Atlantic crossing record of 111.69 knots. Americans can well be proud of the ship since they have quite a few millions of dol 1 lars of their own money tied up in it in the | form of a subsidy. I l executed commendable deeds, we are still far from being as good as we should and could be. There are many lesions and infec 1 lions.in our. body politic Dial, need cleans'"^ and healing. Official grafting, illegal or un healthy combinations of wealth and power, class legislation, pressure groups, machine politics, organized crime and juvenile delin quency, all these can be traced to a moral and selfishness to place individual or group interests first.—R. A. Stillbaugh, Editor, Ma sonic Chronicler. I Ilv VIWLIIViS I IV 1 lijw —r'- ' ^vatUi MUM. to other. Don’t judge him by his family, for Cain belonged to a good family. Don’t judge a man by his failure in life, for many a man fails because he is too good and too honest to gain what the world calls success. Don’t judge a man by the house in which he lives; the lizard and the rat often inhabit the grandest structures.” A fool may be known by six things: Anger, without cause; speech, without pro fit; change, without progress; putting trust in a stranger, and mistaking foes for friends. —Arabian Proverb. Iron rusts from disuse, water loses its pur ity from stagnation and in cold weather be comes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind. L. da Vinci. “All work, even cotton spinning, is noble; work is alone noble ... A life of ease is not for any man, nor for any god.”—Thomas Carlyle. It's about time for the experts to start writing about the results of the 1952 elec tion, which they usually foretell—one way or the other. In 1948 it was the other.—Hert ford County Herald.
