NATION At EDITORI At " r "i t v W ASSOCS-ATJWN Thursday Afternoon. November 1G, 19511 Revenue The easy, and plentiful money which the Currituck county treasury expected to derive from the dog race track within their borders eems to have failed to materialize. ' The county was hard up for funds, and through a special act of the last legislature, established a dog race track, with the hopes of getting the extra needed funds. The gamblers moved in, and now the coun ty seems to find it impossible to collect what they claim is their part of the race track fee. It is a sad day when a town or county has to resort to the dregs of gambling for funds on which to operate. Currituck has learned the hard way. This should be sufficient les son for all other counties to beware of lush promises of gamblers - - - The Durham Sun, in an editorial "Chislers All" pointed out, in somewhat the same line of thought that: Currituck County is not happy about its do racing racket. The county isn't getting its cut:' ',; Failure of the Currituck Racing Commis sion to turn over to the county the share of the gravy the county is supposed to have from the Cavalier Kennel Club track has prevented the county hiring a much needed teacher for! Moyock High School and delayed planned im provements for the county courthouse. Strangely enough, it appears that the Ken nel Club or the Racing Commission made the money but just doesn't .choose to pay the county. By that, North Carolinians are quite at liberty to conclude, perhaps, that the Ken nel Club or the Racing Commission or some body sitting blandly on the sidelines is strong er politically than the County Commission and, therefore, is in a position to prefer to see that the long green taken from the "suckers" 1'oes into favored pockets. What is taking place in Currituck is what was to be expected. When the gambling rack eteers step in, they do not take orders from local politicians. They give the orders; gen erally after buying up the key politicians. That could be what happened in Currituck. . t ' It has happened all along the Florida East Haywood UsingMorC Bocks Coast, The gamblers run Chicago, in the opin- This is National Book Week, and Haywood k,n of some of us backwoods folk, and very Countv is participating in a successful man- hki'y Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia r.cr-bv acquiring the distinction of reading and a Sood many other Places; ' more and more books every year.

Since this is back off the beaten path, not so many have been aware of what is actually go ing on up in that area. The fact that the grading is neari-ng com pletion, means that the contractors, will be able to complete their work on schedule, and thus give to this area, a scenic road, about 10 miles in length, through the heart of some of our best scenery. The fact that this new road rides the crest of the mountain will give a far different view' than other roads that follow the general stream contours and crosses the mountains at gaps. This spur of the Blue Ridge Parkway will give this area something which we have not enjoyed in all these years. We believe that the trip to Heintooga will be a "must" with all visitors when the road is completed. nut been in the limeliaht much during recent years, but has been doing all right in a financial way with his bus business.

Her greatest pleasure is coming home. On a recent visit, she went I out to her old home in the countrv ! and was saddened to see that so! many of the old landmarks had been replaced by new and modern buildings. A small boy came up to her and asked, courteously "Do you live here?" The lady smiled as she replied, "No, but I did a long time ago. Do you live here?" "Yes'm," was his polite response, then he continued, "I guess that all the folks here as old as you are, are dead by now." Let us pack away the dark glasses through which we look too often. Little Joe's father and mother were going to see a friend and took Joe along. As they drove tip to the friend's house, they could see through the window that she was playing cards with a group of friends, and so they drove on. That didn't satisfy Joe who was quite in the mood to pay a visit, so he suggested: "We might as well go on in, Daddy, for they are just shooting craps and can stop anv time."

OF' YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist While emotionally mature pople usually get on better than im mature ones, a childish des.re for power coupled with a Keen "brain" may drive a man to achieve out standing wealth and success with out having outgrown basically kindergarten attitudes like petty Jealousy or the wish to be flattered. mm DULL WEEK Last week was pretty dull on the news front around Raleigh, most of the elec tion sparkle coming from other stales. That accounts for two rum ors that made the rounds both of them concerning Dr. Frank Graham. Jimmy Reed: "By eating turkey and going to the football game, If I can get a baby sitter." snn for instflnpp lnft tho 5tafo hu pans he rm.lH not tpppIvp rfv.,P J Mrs- Dylc AUe: "Praying ed medicine in North Carolina. the boys in orea" Since he was here, we have de veloped four-year medical schools with intern facilities at Duke University and at Wake Forest's Bowman Gray in Winston-Salem We will soon offer the same ad-' vantages at the University.

The other buzzing had him running for Gov ernor. We have just pointed out that it was merely a flight of stairs, but the rumor boys ssid his gay, carefree, hail-blithe-spirit manner and his attendance at Democratic functions made like a candidate. Dr. Graham has a dear friend who will be a candidate. That is William B. Umstead of Durham, leading Carolina alumnus who played hands off in the Smith Graham fracas. This is sufficient to keep Dr. Frank from running. May romance develop into friendship? Att.:wer: In the bwt si-n-!e. this ' Should lie w'.'.at happens in suc ' tcuful marnase since enduring married love is friendship p!us physical attraction But heeause when romEnce does not lead to m3rriase. one person is apt to feel that he or she has been "re jected" by the other, and resent ft. former sweethearts more fre quently end as enemies than as friends. The exceptions are the not too common caces in which two people have realized that they were unsuitcd to each other from a matrimonial standpoint and yet still have much in com- mm tnon. Can "important" peopl b amotionatly childish? Answer: Of course. The late Dr. Frankwood E. Williams used to say that a man may have intelli gence enough to, be a college pres ident yet still have the emotions of a three-year-old child and use his position to gratify them. Oo day nurseries cause behavior problems? Answer: Not to any notable de gree, says Netta Glass of Mauds ley Hospital. London. Compari son of two "matched" groups of children from two to fivo years old from the standpoint of their sleeping, eating and elimination habits showed no marked superi ority of children brought up at home by their mothers over those whose mothers had to leave them in a nursery all day because they went out to work. The statement may console mothers' who are in the latter situation, but at so early an age such prolonged separation Is far from ideal, full-grown ear. As we develop plants for processing our cotton, our wool, and our wood products, we must also work to keep our youth from traipsing off to other lands. We need them.

PRASE-THE -ORD AND PASS THE ASPIRIN! NORTH CAROLINIAN Time Magazine in its issue of November 13 has a long article on the work of Dr. Samuel Alcott Thompson, who is now a heart specialist in New York City. Dr. Thompson has developed an operation which , has quickly re stored people suffering from coro nary artery disease to useful, ac tive lives. As Time tells it, this surgeon just dumps talcum powder into the heart sac in a 20-minute operation. Dr. Thompson has per formed this operation on more than 40 patients since 1938. Of them. 70 per cent are still living; all but four report themselves vastly relieved. This miracle worker is a native of North Carolina. In fact, he was in the first class Dr. Thurman K, Kitchen taught at Wake Forest Col lege in 1913. He used to accom pany Dr. Kitchen on some of his RC0N5Ti?UCTOrl WMTOiSTABLlsa UNITY.
