Jj A WELL DESERVED HONOR The high honors paid to Dr. W. A. Sams recent ly at the American Academy of General Practice convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, were richly de served. We are so glad that the North Caroli na delegation to the convention sponsored the elaborate reception in honor of Dr. Sams. The event was held Sep tember 17th in the mag nificent Caesar's Pal ace Hotel and was at tended by more than 400 doctors and their wives. After several out standing tributes paid to Dr. Sams by various prominent doctors, the jovial Marshall physi cian was presented a beautiful loose-leaf book with plastic sheets and handsome binder consisting of written tributes from doctors In almost every state in the Union. Most of the statements commended Dr. Sams on his de voted service as a member of the House of Delegates of the American Academy of General Practice. In commenting- about this enjoyable occasion, iDr. Sams stated that he was completely overcome by the honors given him. He stated that although the event was in his honor, that Mrs. Sams was "the Queen of the banquet." He commented that ". . . . my right hand was worn out from shaking hands with hundreds of per sons." He went on to say that one elderly doctor and a life-long friend not only shook his hand' but said he thought so much of him that he bent down and kissed him. Dr. Sams then laughingly said that he was thrill ed when many of the doctors' wives also kissed him. We asked him how Mrs. Sams reacted to all that kiss ing and he smiled and said, "she was a grand sport and enjoyed every minute of it." This was one of the highest honors ever given a doctor and probably the first where badges recog nizing Dr. Sams were pinned on the hundreds of doc tors and their wives as they entered the banquet hall. We enjoyed interviewing Dr. Sams about these honors and only wish we could have been there to see the warm glow of appreciation in his eyes. We feel sure that the thousands of residents in Madison County, East Tennessee and elsewhere also join in offering heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Sams who has served so many years as the "Country Doc tor" who has devoted his life to helping others. We also think it appropriate to republish an ar ticle recently published in the Tar Heel Practitioner which also paid tribute to Dr. Sams; THE STARVATION OF SQUIRRELS By DANIEL BUKRY Mars HID, N. C. You, who are feeding the squir rels keep up the good work. Sou people think tbat squirrels am not starving1 which is (true for the time being, but there are no acorns for them to store for winter. So they are going to have to store something else for winter. The question is what are they going to store? I have never seen squirrels act the way they do this year. There are between 6 and 7 squirrels killed on the road between Mars Hill and Aaheville each day. I never knew of a squirrel eating tomatoes until this year, so they must be hungry. They need some thing to eat now so they can store what few acorns there are until winter. The winter feeding of the squir rels is going to be a serious mat ter. If each of you will just buy a little corn, nuts, or sunflower seeds we can all help. We feed! the birds in winter so why not help out the squirrels? Many of you farmers cant spend money to feed the squirrels. I know by being a farm boy myself that you need your corn, but God did put men here to look after" the other animals; so if you cam leave just a few rows of com for the squirrels, it wouldi be appre ciated very much. The future of hunting may be in the balance, so feed and preserve the squirrels. If you don't, they may become ex tinct just like the buffalo did. Just what is it that the wise: guy who hunts out of season is trying to prove? That he can kill ' ENGAGED I J Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Wallin, of Route 6, Marshall, announce the ngagement of Hheir daughter, Ann ette, to Mr. Edward McLean, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. L.

Why cant he wait till the season opens ; Why, also, is he the first one to holler about there being no squirrels or other game to hunt?

The reports may be made by telephone, card or letter, or per sonal visit. 'All events that effect (heir right to receive, as well as their actual receipt of, monthly checks must be promptly reported, Robertson stated. "In addition to address changes, the happenings that affect the re ceipt of social security checks and so are to be reported without delay include employment and earnings, marriage or remarriage, divorce, and death." Heretofore beneficiaries were encouraged to notify the Social Security Administration about the occurrence of these event with postcard forms, each pre address ed to one of six social security record centers located in different sections of the country. BenafJct erfea were given the postcard orms when they applied for month-1 ly benefits. l V Robertson explained thai "the change in reporting methods Is designed to reduce the time need ed to change the addresses on the Payment enter records and to pro- other information affecting the payment of monthly fcenefita.

Clark, presi dent emeritus of The - Citadel, Charleston, S. CL, In an article written, for the North American Newspaper .Alliancei The toouble with our time Js that in too many areas honor has ceased to be taught; ithe word Itself is seldom heard. In most cases, when a boy col lided with the honor system at The Citadel, there would be tear ful sessions with hds parents. "But General," ithe mother would sob, "what are we going to do?" "Madam," I would feel like re plying, "what have you been do ling for the past 18 or 19 or 20 years?" Many parents will main tain to the end that they have! tried to instill a sense of honesty and decency and responsibility in their children. But this is hard to do when the same parents drive over the speed limit, try to get parking tickets fixed, pad expense accounts, and falsify their tax re turns. I do not think the situation is hopeless. Far from it. I know from personal experience that there is in our young people still as there has always been a vast reservoir of idealims, a tre mendous capacity for self-discipline, even for self sacrifice. They want to be led by competent peo ple. What we have to do is to make these young people more a- ware of the tremendous asset a commitment to honor can be in their lives. We have to make Ibhem see what it can do for them in their careers, their marriages, their ambitions, their short-term happiness and their long-term peace of mind. The blunt, pragmatic truth is that in the long run there is no substitute for honor. American business knows this very well. Year after year I have watched representatives of some of the greatest corporations in Ameri ca compete amongst themselves for the services of our Citadel graduates. Why? Because they have been trained until making the honorable choice is instinctive with them. And they know, too, that wherever the man of honor1 goes, other men will accept hid leadership, trust his judgment, heed his words and give him their esteem. kGTA. JOS, DON'T YOU THINK.
