Larsen, president of Time, Inc., and chairman of the National Citizens Colli sion for the Public Schools, made a speech some weeks ago in which he referred to North Carolina in rathei glowing terms. He stressed its progress, declaring that it was a leader not only in the South but also in the nation. Mr. Lars'-n told about the great in dustrial development that had taken place in recent years. Mi. Larsen's references to our Slate are appreciated, and we are proud ot our Stale. But why does the State rate near the bot „ tom in per capita income? There are a lew ./hazy spots Mr Larsen was good enough to '►overlook. Possibly he could have rendered the «State and its people a great service if he •jhud told about the low per capita income, -J^and admitted that the Stale's legislators iTchose not to pass a minimum wage law, us IJlow as it was. it n*-— Do Not fee/ Their Oirn Pit in-hen 2. In their mad drive to save themselves tax ^dollars. President lsenhower’s ^industrialists jjand the mighty politicians arg cutting the ^foundation from under the nation’s defense, 9 closing hospital doors in the face of the sick, ^and suggesting that farmers plow on Sun sj^day as a means of patching up their own *Teconomy after freedom’s pattern. Z Surely, the tax burden has been and is 4st.ll heavy. So far the people of this coun ■t try have been able to pay taxes and have ^enough to live on; yes, even enough left to C-enjuv a few other necesities in life along •with a few pleasures. * Th men who are lopping off $20 million ?£.from the hospital appropriations will never £"be turned away from a hospital door. But lithe reduction will mean that no hospital ? door will bo onen to many who cannot com mand a knock at Bethesda or at a private or at a public hospital. If Mr Eisenhower is going to give the , country more for less, he should explain the Houdini stunt. If he can’t pull one of those stunts, then it is advisable to go along with the Air Force. For, if he fails, the big guy could go down with the little one. So far the axe wielders have not felt the force of their own blows. A recent rbport maintains that the na tion’s more than 14,000 banks have assets in the amount of two hundred and fifteen billion dollars. The report did not say so, but it could have pointed out that while the banks are bulging, money is getting scarcer and scarcer on the outside. Back in the early thirties the grain barns were bulging and many people were hun Now, the banks are bulging and borrow ing is increasing, the report explaining that farmers were at the business to the tune of billions last year. . . Man’s ability to head off a depression may be questioned, but there is little doubt but whaf man can make a depression, and it is fairly apparent that some men in this coun try today are working to create a depression monster. 'By Ruth Taylor 5 Freedom—the word meets us every time we twist the radio dials, or pick up a news paper. It has a way of slipping into every ^serious conversation. Even in the lightest .•fiction tpday, we find the characters de livering monologues on the importance of But what is this freedom which is our More In Than Out grv. \ What It Freedom ? j dearest possession? I Freedom is to speak and think without restriction and without fear. Freedom is to associate with men of all races and creeds in the fellowship of co operative effort for the good of all. Freedom is to be tolerant, to grant to oth ers the right and consideration we want for ourselves. Freedom is to have the right to work, and to change our work or place of working as we deem best. Freedom is the sovereignty of man as against the domination of the State. Freedom is the right to choose our own government in a fair and open election —not in an auction of men. Freedom is rule by reason, not rule by force. Freedom is to have reliance and trust in the pledged word, the control of men through that intangible thing called honor, which lifts a man to his rightful stature. Freedom is to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience. Freedom is a belief in the individual and in his ability to so conduct himself that his neighbor may not suffer from any act or neglect of his. Freedom is to seek the truth, not to be swayed by the prejudice and hatred preached by a demagogue. Freedom is to dream of an ideal and to wrork for its fulfillment on this earth. This is freedom—the freedom for which our forefathers fought and died, the freedom lor which they worked to make this country out of a virgin wilderness. It is our most precious inheritance- and we will guard it to the end. A Splendid Heron/ Alford Sweatt, executive director of the Wiiliarnston Boosters for the p'ast four years, has gone with the Rocky Mount Merchants’ Association, leaving behind a splendid re cord here in Wiiliarnston. It is not claimed that Mr. Sweatt "set the world on fire" during his stay in Williams ton, but he contributed much to the com munity, adding to ils material being and en hancing its civic and spiritual life. Carefuly_ handling every injuiry and earnestly working to solve the many prob lems focused on the job, Mr. Sweatt was al ways ready and willing to extend a help ing hand to every worthy project. He “.plugged” for the bloodmobile, worked for and supported the various campaigns and drives, aided others in (handling community and personal tasks. When conditions look ed dark, he lent encouragement. He enters upon his new position with the slate clean in his old job. All bills have been paid and there’s a balance in the bank. All transactions have been handled in a sympathetic and business-like manner, and all dealings have been conducted on a high plane. While most of his work lias not attracted the public spotlight, his job has been well done, and it is certain that Ms efforts will pay a dividend to the town and all its peo ple in the future. That the pleasant things will far outnum ber the unpleasant ones surrounding his work is certain, and that his work during the past four years will be reflected in fu ture events and development is certain, too. He leaves Wiiliarnston appreciative of the support and cooperation accorded him, and with a friendly feeling and keen interest in its future. He also leaves with the good will and respect of the people here. In parting he pleads for continued sup port and cooperation for his successor. 60 Second Sermons By Fred Podge TEXT: "Man can be cured of every folly but vanity.”—Rousseau George Washington Carver, the great ne gro scientist, once told of a man in his com munity who kept a mule so lean and hungry that it could scarcely stand. One day when this fellow drove his mule TirtSwn. iTie*aTiitnai was observed wearing a new straw bonnet. “Well, Uncle Mose,” someone observed, “your mule would be much better off with less millinery and more oats." * * # Benjamin Franklin put more emphasis on economy than extravagance. Even when he could afford better, Franklin dressed and ate simply, to earn the esteem of associates. Today, we have reversed the thinking of Franklin’s day. Men are judged more by the elegance of the bonet on the mule than on the health of the mule. Perhaps that is why so many human “mules’' collapse and die at an early age. The simple, sound prac tice of feeding the mule is forgotten We tie on a new bonnet and race for a new show-piece to parade before our neighbors. Social News —«— ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT Mi s.
