Year.. NORTH CAROLINA One Six Months'.. OUTSIDE NORTH CAROLINA One Year ... Six Months . .. i ..... Eyesight And Age In a letter that Mrs. F. H. Edmister re ceived a few clays ago was a word written so illegibly that it put a strain on her eyesight. After she had tried in vain to make out what it was, she handed the letter to Mr. Edmister and asked for help. He happened not to have his plasses with him and said he was blind as a ybat without 'em. Mrs. Russell Potter, a .guest in the house, was then appealed to, but the whole letter was a blur to her bacause she too, had left her glasses somewhere else. Mrs. Edmister's mother, Mrs. Sallie S. Cleleland, who is 94 years old, sat by, observing this dis play of helplessness. "Hand it to me," she sead, "I don't need glasses." Which was per fectly true. She deciphered the word and read it aloud to the assembled company. " Chapel Hill Weekly - They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo - NATIONAL VT I EDITORIAL, ASOCjTOjN xzzr Monday Afternoon, May 22, 1950 ; r. - HrV- - : Clean-Up Time Is Here . i 'Ehis, morning marked the beginning of the anrTual clean-up drive in this community. It is an event that is staged each spring in an ef fort to make people aware of the need of keeping their premises clean, and clearing' out a lot of accumulations from the fall and winter. ilmong the-things that need to be given at tention in this area is the weeds on vacant Jots, Of course, absentee-ownership in many instances creates a problem in this respect. However, the weed-covered lots are still un sicfhtly. Geared into the campaign is paint - up, which is also an important factor for preser vation, and improving the looks of a home or business. Cleaning up is more than a civic' job it is one of the insurances for better living condi tions. . I Now, Here's A Solution What the world needs is more checker players. Wars are started by people whose only trouble is that they never started to play checkers. People are smashed under the heels of tyrants who would be a lot better off sit ting around somewhere trying to figure out a double jump, instead of v contemplating a new type of genocide. Look at Adolph Hitler. Definitely not. the checker-playing type. He'd never have chew ed a rug, or swallowed a country, if he'd spent more evenings down at the filling sta tion with the boys. The same can be said a bout Kaiser Bill and Genghis Khan and those other lads. Alexander the Great screamed when he realized he had no new worlds to conquer The checker player can always look for ward to taking his most skilled opponent next week. 1 Today the world is full of folks all clogged up with various isms and edeoligies. These same folks, generally speaking, are all clog ged up with some kind of misery that makes them want to do evil things to their fellow man.

Interest in the motorcade on the part of South Carolina indicates a warm reception, if the drivers had not been heedless of the rights of others. ' This means that fatalities result not mere .Jy.trom violations of highway laws but from acts of discourtesy. Could it be that the mounting highway death toll in the United States is a. reflection of the bad manners and the undemocratic spirit of many Americans? A lot of political and economic and social problems are created by the efforts of some people to get ahead and stay ahead of others. There is a strong tendency to cut corners, act out of turn, and get the jump of the other fel low even at the risk of headon collision with his interests.' iThe ill-mannered motorist acts like the priv ileg seeker in American society. In moving toward his destination, he has little respect for the rights of those he. meets along the way. ( We need more rigid enforcement of high way laws to curb discourteous motorists, just as we need to impose government restriction on economic abuses that trample the rights of the people.

Doing so would be good economics, since while it costs $50,000 to train a psychia trist, "any psychiatrist who 1; any good at all will save the Veterans Administration $1,000,000 a year."

There is an interesting article . . . which supports nobody. It says in part: "After Fair Dealer Claude Pepper had been thrashed, the next big quuslion in Southern polities was: Will it hap pen' to Fair Dealer Fran,k Graham in North Carolina, too? "Like Pepper, Graham was accused- by his opopnents of beinq too friendly to 'socialistic' causes too soft on Communism and over kindly to Negroes. But the resem blance could be pushed too far. Candidate Graham was no Claude Papper: he.had-not gone junketing off to Moscow. He was not even a professional politician: he had been appointed to the Senate 14 months ago to fill a vacancy. Most North Carolinians knew him better as n small grey man who for 19 years had been the able and resneclod President o the .University of North Carolina. Hustling down from Washington, he rolled out his black Ford, sedan and set it skim ming off across the back roads of North Carolina' ..." "Graham's real opposition came from 62-year-old Willis Smith, a Raleigh corporation lawyer and chairman of the Duke University's board, of ti-ustefs who once served as presiHent-of the American 'Bar Ascociation, and was a registered state lobbyist for several manufac turers and wholesalers. Though he was a cold, uninspired speaker, who often talked at his audience as if he were addressing a jury in a utility casej he seemed to be making con siderable headway. "Against Smith's conservative and industrial support, Graham could muster the bulk of North Carolina's' labor and Negro vote. 7- -' .."

After having done this, John rose in mighty wrath to say that he was getting hotter by the minute and the fan wasn't doing any good. His wife investigated and then told John he had the wrong switch on; he had been getting a heat current instead of the opposite. Thoughts wandering as idly as a vagrant cloud.
