NATIONAL EDITORIAL Sy lA5goc5,0w Keili CB'uiina w V Thursday Afternoon. January 4, 1951 Moving Slowly ' The election contest from Madison County continues to move slowly. Since the election on November 7, the State Board of Elections has considered the matter at three widely separated meetings. A public hearing in the county has now been called for January !! by a three to two vote of the board. It is regrettable that the board divided in this decision. So far there has been no publicity for evidence support ing either the cUar;:os. or counter chart s Which followed the election. The State Hoard Of Elections based its action on evidence of SBI agents heard in secret session and all the public knows about that evidence is that three members of the board considered it suf ficient to warrant a public hearim; and two members held a contrary view. Whatever the result, the public hearing will probably serve a useful purpose. Each side will have an opportunity to present its case both to the board and to the public. It seems (Wtuifcitltt whatever itetteiorvirw State Board of Elections may finally reach, the case will go to the courts, and probably remain there for a long time. So far the case has moved very slowly. There should be no further undue delays. The hearing set for January 8 should be conclud ed as expeditiously as possible. Raleigh News & Observer Would Have Saved Lives In the last five years, since World War II ended, the debt of the United Slates has been raised by tens of billions of dollars, and the money has been spent, not in fortifying the country against enemies, not in maintaining fruiting forces, but for the most part on "pro jects" and in supporting offices which have kept the "Democratic" party in power. Now, if the United States shall be involved in an other world war, many young men will pay with their lives for that which the politicians and their underlings have enjoyed yes, en joyed. Had, the money thus spent been devot ed to maintaining the armed forces of the United States at full strength, it would now save lives eytn iL it did not prevent war. Charleston News and Courier Where's Frank Merriwell For the first time", we were impelled the other night to view the cynicism of the younger generation with some real alarm. Our young son trouped into the house with football helmet askew and a merry song upon his lips. We were glad to hear this expression of joy, which could orily mean that P. S. No. 43 had put it on their ancient gridiron rivals K S. 19, and that our lad had quite possibly emerged from the fray a hero. We called him to offer our congratulations, secretly hoping that he would tell us modestly of having been carried from the field on the shoulders of his admirers. "You've got it wrong, Pop", he told us. "We -lOSt." "Lost?" we echoed. "You were, you mean, hosed out?'" y Junior laughed heartily, "Yep, they shaded us 84 to 6." How could a man who has just been trounc er thoroughly by his ancient foe come home whistling, we wanted to know. We were shocked to our marrow. "Don't take is so seriously, Pop," our faith less scion advised us. "They had some pretty fast backs, and, of course, the referee was clearly on their side. We will complain to the league authorities. How could we expect to beat them with backs as fast as theirs?" We waved the serpent from the room, and retired to our chair to brood. Our ideas of athletics achievement were obviously outdat ed. We could just see our boyhood hero, Frank .Merriwell, his clean-cut, open count enance set in a scowl of defiance, vowing re venge as the conquerors of the Fardale Mili tary Academy left the field. Fat chance you'd have of finding him whistling gayly on the way home from the scene of a defeat. Frank Merriwell, you see, was a competi tor, all the way. He was the hero of not less than liOO books that enlivened our boyhood days, and in every one of them old Frank was in there trying on every page. First in school and college athletics, and later on in the bat tles of life, Frank was fighting every step of the way and was never at his best until the odds lengthened. Time and time again, Pitcher Frank would find himself with the bases full behind him due to sloppy infield play on the part of his teammates. It was then that he would rise to the emergency and, using his famed double shoot (first it curved in and then out), he would strike out three in a row. Tune after time Frank would find him self behind his own goal-post (through the JjimUikuUiia clumsykosso.ciateLonly to boot a 1!0 yard field goal to win, 15-14. When he entered the business world, Frank .realized well that competition was a way of life, and that in competition someone wins and some else loses. Frank always tried des perately, by every honorable means, of course, to see that he won. We reflect on this in the afterglow of our son's shocking disclosures. Can it be that we are losing those sturdy virtues as exemplified in Frank Merriwell? We see signs of it and in other places than on the football field. There seems to be a disposition to regard the winner with suspicion and to feel that the loser, somehow, lost through some mysterious frailty which should entitle him to a handi cap. Frank Merriwell wouldn't have understood that point of view, To him, victory was the -crown, but he knew that when both teams fought hard, the biggest reward came to those who paid to see the game. He expected a hard fight, and reveled in it. We could do with some Frank Merriwells today, it seems to us. The bases are full, the goal-line threatened and the enemy at the gate. It's time for Frank to come back from the grave.

Taylor was not the administration man. week at 9:15. If he waits unlit n-xt week, delay will be due to the fact that the Legislature will not be ful ly organized until that time. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist decisions in a hurry terrifies him. He Is afraid ot responsibility, but even more of letting himself act spontaneously. He grew up with an exaggerated fear of his own natural impulses and leels that to follow a fixed pattern of behavior is the only way to keep them under control.

Answer: That is the conclusion reached by a research conducted by the British Broadcasting Cor poration and reported in Biology and Human Affairs, London. If the music "piped into" an indus trial plant is well selected, it ap parently helps workers to forget fatigue, relieves boredom, cuts down nervous strain, lessens the amount of distracting conversa tion, and reduces absenteeism. No one can do without pleasure very long, and If work offers little or none, any supplementary lure is value -' THE FOUNDATION Altiiough 'he 1951 Legislature by Saturday will have completed its skeleton organizaiton. another week will be required before the legislators have full information on thp committees to which they belong, where these committees will meet, and the full duties of the committees. Thus it will be several days yet before your 1951 General Assem bly gets into full swing. Secretary of State Thad Eure will, as usual, conduct his school for freshman legislators. His classes will be large this term, nother thing to consider is that a majority of the members must become acclimated to HaleiRh, its eating places, Motel facilities, general flavor, and the peculiar and yet .strangely invigor ating legislative atmosphere which hangs like a fog over the capital for a few months every two years. It is known here that Governor Scott has spent the last few days brushing- up on his budget mes sage. He can deliver it any time he oleases. Feeling here Is that the Governor will come out with it next week. However, trying to preguess Scott is like predicting the begin ning of the Millenium, so don't be surprised at the hour, be it night, morning, afternoon, or merely next ROOMING PLACES Virtually all of the legislators will he stay ing at the Sir Walter, Carolina, and Andrew Johnson hotels here. The Andrew Johnson had a nest of Republicans last time and that hos telry may prove to be GOP head quarters again. For some reason, the Republicans like to room near each other, feeling no doubt thai they have need for mutual protec tion. The Sir Walter estimates that 125 legislators will be staying there. This leaves only 45 members to room elsewhere. If you want to visit your repre sentative or senator in Ralrili. bet ter try to do so between 5 o'clock in the afternoon and 10 o'clock the next morning. Committee meetings usually begin at 10. with a scatter ed few sometimes geting to work at 9. o'clock. Sessions in the capifol usually last from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock. In the afternoon, the big Finance and Appprooriations Com mittees hold their meetings. About the busiest people around Raleigh from now until April will be the members of the Legislature. And, if the rule holds, their big gest personal headaches will not come as a result of important Statewide legislation, but from the so-called "little" local bills which are often-fraught with political dynamite. Voice of'the People What was the nicest thing that happened to ycu during 19,"0? Mrs. Eric Clauson: "The arrival of my two grandsons and my son's nadualion from college after the intervention of the war." Miss Harriet Atkinson: The most enjoyable. thing that I did was to lake a trip to Boston, Mass., for a si l ies of social events at M.I.T." Mrs. Carl Mundy: "There were so many nice things, it is hard to ti ll. The thing I got more pleasure from than anything else wns help ing other people in the Craft Shop at the Lake last summer.

So when, she was getting ready for the BIG New Year's ball, she couldn't decide which pair to wear, both swains be ing also present at the dance. Her little sister made the happy sug gestion: "Why don't you wear one of each . . . and keep lhat side next to the giver when you're danc ing with him?" Seen in passing: A tiny little youngster bundled up to the ears in a snow suit trying to ride on the new tricycle. Speaking of gifts: we heard a re- Mrs. BM1 Prevost: "The nicest thing was that we got our house built and moved into it." Mrs. Lawrence Leatherwood: "Getting a new house." 90 DAYS In recent years, the legislative slogan from opening day has been "let's get the Revenue Bill through and go home," or something to that effect. Reason for the hope and aspiration was that the members were underpaid and knew they were losing money in Raleigh. They always shot for adjournment in 60 days. While this never came to pass, it was the goal and frequently served to prod the Legislature into rapid activity. This term, the average legisla tor will still lose money, though not as much, since he will be paid for 90 days. That is why you hear talk of January, February, March and into the middle of April for adjournment. HE MAY GET HIS WISH!
