The Herald staff did themselves proud in packing into the edition so much factual in formation. It showed much research, and careful writing in order to -coyer the 100-year period. Such undertakings are more of a real task than the finished product might reflect Where it takes 14 minutes to read a story, there might be required 14 hours of hard re search, and digging to get the facts. But such is the field of journalism. And those in the field have a greater respect for such ac complishments than those outside. The Herald can feel well repaid for their splendid edition; As one newspaper to an other, sincere congratulations. act i Monday Afternoon, September 10, 1951 ' Daily Bread By Rev. A.

"Well," he said, "Speaking frankly I feel very much what I feel when I enter tain American friends in England. I show them a beautiful picture of a great cathedral or a lovely old c-ountrv estate, and they say. 'It is beautiful,' and then almost invariably they add.

It seems that in his span of only 24 years the . young man had acquired four wives -two without benefit of proper divorce proceedings. , Wife number three wanted the husband, as support was needed for herself and two child ren. The judge consented, but with the .stipu lation that he attend church, work, stay away from places of question, and further, that the wife keep a copy of the court order where she could read it to the husband in the event he strayed from the provisions of the rules. The judge understands human nature he realizes that a court order over the mantle is far more effective than just on the court rec ords at the court house. We suspect more judges will be following similar procedures. TheyH Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo If you've eatem jm restaurants,. TVtEN VtXJ HAVE.

Alcoholics ar sick people who need and deserve help. The root of their Illness is anxiety and a sense of personal inadequacy, and such feelings are only made worse by blame and pressure. We must help the alco holic to develop a real sense of his own value instead of the false self-confidence he gets through drinking. GETTING GOING State Pris ons Head Walter Anderson is mov ing hard ahead with his plans for revamping the entire prison setup in North Carolina. Renovation will begin with the firing and hir ing of certain personnel. So far, he has been free Of political med dling. It looks as if he is going to be given a full hand to make any changes he thinks necessary. Before he agreed to accept the position, Anderson was given to un derstand that he would be the boss straight up and down the line. He Is hard, but fair. Prison Personnel here in Ra leigh and elsewhere are hereby warned that Anderson means bus iness. He knows little or nothing about politics. He does know that he will not tolerate drinking or cursing. We know he is a fine man. North Carolina has grown wet ter through the years. This has caused us to become more lax as regards the use of alcohol. The man who drinks now is not the social outcast he used to be. Frequent ly we read of public officials be ing arrested . Jor driving drunk, hometimcs they lose. thIr. jobs, out frequently they dh not. . If the law-is followed (Sessions Laws, -Sefctlbn -148-33),' no "man who drinks, on duty or off duty, will be permitted to deal with prison ers, inis covers a lot of territory The law is Just as vigorous against cursing. . Should Walter Anderson hew to the line, as he did when chief of police in Winston-Salem and in Charlotte, there Is trouble ahead for many a prison official in this state. Should you take "report cards" seriously? Aiiewer: Yes, but not too much . to. Learning to make reasonably good marks in school is part of a child's training to meet the re quirements of the world that he will have to live in, and if he is led to feel his marks "don't mat ter" he may get the idea that other adjustments like obeying the law of the land don't matter, either. But don't go to the extreme of making him feel that a failure in school is a crushing disgrace, or to the other extreme of encourag ing him to let success in studies take the place of making friends with other children and "belong . irig" to the group. For that is even more Important. Can "will power" cure an . alcoholic? Answer: No, writes Howard J. Clinebell in the Journal of Clin- ical Pastoral Work, after studying 79 cases. It is time we gave up the old fashioned notion that the alco- . holic could cure himself if he would only "use his will power" and stop drinking. Such an attl- tude keeps us from understanding aprrlcht, mi, Klnc Trntant ByadJctU, lac). Are "guilt" and "responsi bility" the same? Answer: Not as a psychiatrist uses the word. "Guilt" is what might be called a "moral value judgment" and as such, outside the field of science, while "re sponsibility" is the demonstrable fact that you must take the con sequences of your actions. A boy with a cruel, unjust father may not be to blame (or "guilty") If , he grows up feeling hostile toward authority In general, but that does not change the fact that if he be comes a lawbreaker, he will be disliked and punished. It is in the effort to avoid a needless sense of guilt that we so often tend to avoid facing the nature and con sequences of our actions.

The more the old slave thought about anybody having to come up with names on the spur of the moment that way, the more per plexed he. became.
