A Mother's Lesson
Explaining his success in life, one of the
nation's greatest industrialists said whatever
he had attained, he owed 'it all to the lesson
taught by his mother.
Modern education, political maneuvering
and complicated rules, while having their
value, were not mentioned.
The industrialist said in part:
"I am certain that as a boy I was less than
average to everyone except my mother. No
matter what opinions others may have held
of me, she thought she saw in me as do other
mothers when looking at their young sons the
makings of a man who could be of service to '
his fellow men.-I kiv now that whatever I
have accomplished and whatever means the
most in my life trace back to the lessons my
mother taught me, as it was she who first
taught me some of the greatest values in life.
These values may be summerized in three
rules of living. These she constantly impress
ed uppn my young consciousness not only by
words but by her deeds. They are: (1) Love
people and serve them; (2) Love your work
and give it your everything; and (3) Love,
your God and put your Christian principles
to work wherever you are. ';:-'" '
"Now I know, after a ,long and full life,
that these rules for living are not onlsirnple
and down-to-earth but are the most practical
and provable secrets of realizing the greatest
possible success and achieving the : highest
possible happiness. '
"A fundamental love of people all people
is an unfailing mark of the finest characters.
An ingrained attitude of "What will I get out
of it?" leads up a blind allfey to failure. In a
job, a business or profession or in life, you
simply are filling human wants. You' get a
head in dirept relation to how well yqu offer
the toil or services or brains that others, want
and need . . ."
Despite his creed and good works, the man
has been attacked by others as a socialist and
wrecker. V -t - . L
, (Williarnston Enterprise)
One of the annual spring topics in this com
munity for the past score years has been
"the need for more hotels." '
On several occasions, propositions have
been presented, whereby it looked for a time
that another hotel would be . built.. But for
one reason or another the proposition al
ways failed to materialize. In the meantime,
the citizens kept on talking, and saying:
"Look at Gatlinburg get the hotels while we
get none." . ,
Some of our citizens here have reconciled
themselves to the fact that if we are to get a
hotel building program started that it will
have to start frqm within the community,
and not expect "outsiders", to do the initial
building. ,
That opinion seems to be general, as well
as the trend everywhere. Once a local group
starts a hotel project, it then appears that
others feel the surface has been broken, and
sufficient pride exists to warrant their in
vestment in similar projects.
Several weeks ago, a group of civic and
business leaders heard a local proposition
submitted for getting a modern 30 - room
hotel. The plan was proposed by Sam Welch,
well known young business man. Mr. Welch
submitted architect's plans, specifications,
and estimated costs for the proposed hotel,
which is much further along something defi
nite than any proposition, yet made. His ef
fective presentation showed his sincerity and
interest in the proposal.
The plan of Mr. Welch has met with a re
sponsive chord among many of the civic and
business leaders here. They look at the pro
posal as "the best propositiqn" yetnade to
the community. Mr. Welch is not asking for
donations, nor is he trying to sell stock. He
has worked out the details to the point of
borrowing' $100,000 from the RFC. In addi
tion., he finds he will need another $100,000
to construct a modern 30-room hotel on his
Main Street property at the corner of Main
and Academy streets, where Oak Park now
stands. He owns the property, and no cash
outlay is set aside for this item. Mr. Welch
wants to'borrow the $10Q,00Q from local citi
zens, at five per cent interest, and offers as
security, a second mortgage on the hbtel. The

THAT. FLORIDA THING The
defeat of Senator Claude Pepper,
ultra liberal Florida solon, last
week by the 36-year-old Waynes
ville product, George Smathers,
came as somewhat of a surprise to
most North Carolinians. Smathers
ran on a middle-of-the-road plat
form and during his campaign lash
ed out daily at "creeping Social
ism"; Smith of Nortji Carolina and
Smathers of Florida seem to have
about the same ideas regarding
deficit spending and Government
waste. Their opponents, however,
are not so much alike in many re
spects. ur, trams uranam is a
rather typical scholar; Sen. Pepper
is not. Dr. Graham is an honest
liberal. That's what they are saying
ed upon as the vote-getting type of
liberal. That's what they ar saying
. anyway, . '- e
If you are for Willis Smith for
the United States Senate, you see
a, definite paralle) between that
r ionaa tning and what is transpir
Ing here in North Carolina. On the
other hand, if you are rooting for
Dr. Frank Graham,, you see no
parallel whatever. It's all. accord-
pg to where you stand. Don't kid
yourself.

Should you note "crossed-our' words in a letter?
Answer; Yes, says Dr. I. Roxon
Ropschitz in-Psychiatry. In read
ing a letter, a psychiatrist some
times learns more about a patient
from the words he crosses out
than from those he leaves in, and
the same may be true of erasures
In drawing. I recently received
a critical letter from a correspon
dent who had written my name
"Mrs. Lawrence Gould," and then
crossed out the "s." A psychiatrist
to whom I showed it commented:
"I woncler whether your friend
had not some unconscious reason
to wish hat you were a woman."

Would you actually enjoy "a
life of leisure"?
Answer: Only if you had pre
pared yourself for it and neither
a pension, life insurance, nor a
bank account is preparation
enough. You may think you'd en
joy doing nothing, but in truth it ;
would not only bore you; it would
hasten the disintegration of your
mjnd and body, and, probably
shorten your life. Whether you
want or will be compelled to re
tire, prepare for your "life of lei
sure" by finding hew things io do
which you feel are worth while..
For if retirement finds you unpre
pared, you will discover it is not
paradise, but prison.
THE RESULT The outcome of
the Florida race yrnay assure the
nomination of Dr.; Frank' Graham-
here in North Carolina. Reports
are that the Graham people are
scared to death. That's good. The
late Congressman Hammer of the
old Eighth District, which included
Randolph County and the Con
gressmans home, Asheboro, used
to say that if he could just get his
fplks In the district scared, he felt
sure of re-election. One of the dif
ficulties in Charlie Johnson's camp
two years ago was that his man
agerg were pot geared. They were
accused of takjng it easy. They
seemed to be top confident.

You can see why Southerners
are opposed to the bill. They know
the South isn't ready for this sort
of thing yeUSen. Robert A. Taft
wants to bring out a compromise

that cases could be studied and in

not even in favor of the compro

By the time you read this, the
matter should be receiving plenty
of attention in Washington and
more than likely your newspaper
ana radio will he full of it. Sen
atofs Walter George and Richard
Russell o( Georgia and Lister Hill

against the imposition of FEPC on
the South.
