N ATI ON At I DITOR IAI, !asTpcFato)n VTtoib Carolina kA Thursday Afternoon, September 27, 1951 Daily Bread By Rev. A. Purnell Bailey God bless bur native land! At the siege of Yorktown, Lafayette is reported to have said to Thomas Nelson, Governor of Virginia, "To what particular spot would Your Excellency direct that we point the cannon?'' "There," was the prompt answer of the patriotic Nelson, "to that house; it is mine, and is the best one you can find in the town; and there you will be most certain to find Lord Cormvallis and the British headouarters " What.a change there would be in our nation to day if we had that unselfish spirit. It is bad enough that our sons must die on the battlefield of Korea; it is worse when we forget them in selfish indulgence on the home front. God bless our native land! The UnUsual record of the past Week-end of the arrest of eleven drivers charged, with driving drunk presents a problem of serious magnitude for this, county. Officers are un able to point to the ' cause in the sudden rise in the number of drunken drivers- on the roads during One week-end. Fortunately none of the eleven killed any one while they were under the wheel in the drunken condition. The consistent, and quick action of the highway patrolmen and other alert officers resulted in the death column being kept clear. The Mountaineer has always considered a drunken driver as among the greatest hazard on our highways today. And until the Gen eral Assembly of North Carolina, writes and puts on our law books laws that mean more punishment, this hazard will continue to grow. Too many would-be drunken drivers are not afraid of the $100 fine and cost, and revocation of their license for a year. These same people would fear with trembling a mandatory 30-day road sentence. Our General Assembly will have the blood of innocent persons killed by drunken driv ers on their hands until they write laws which make it mandatory for the courts to lay a heavy hand on defendants guilty of driving drunk. ' The law makers, and many courts, have too long looked with pity on these potential murderers. If they are not strong enough to protect themselves' from driving while drink ing, then North Carolina should have the courage to have laws to protect those who do not drink, and who want to ride the high ways in safety. We feel the compulsory 30-day road sen tence, plus the cash fine, and having the license revoked would be the beginning of solving the growing menace. r They'll Do It Every Time fttajiinn U 1 Ntwi Ofto By Jimmy Hailo THREE WEEKS?

' A Fast Comeback The Bloodmobile workers made a fast last minute comeback to win again Monday. Up until two o'clock the traffic was slow, and only 54 pints of blood had been given. By the time the day was over, 138 pints had been added to the stock of the district blood center. Haywood has always done her part in this noble work, and Monday proved that the cause was far from being forgotten. The Lions, and Gray Ladies did another fine piece of work to make the occasion a success. A Job Well Done The resignation of Mrs. Gordon Schenck as secretary of the Chamber of Commerce comes as a surprise. The resignation was ne cessitated by her moving with her family to the Piedmont area, and for no other reason. Mrs. Schenck worked hard at her job, and has just ended perhaps the busiest season the organization has ever experienced. The operation of the office of the Chamber of Commerce entails a wider scope of service to the public than most people realize. Not only is it a clearing house for community pro motion and events, but is a selling agent for the community at large. Right now it is also headquarters for the Merchants Association. Mrs. Schenck has for the past eight months had as her assistant Mrs. Diana Hall Boyd who is carrying on with the vast detail of Work. ;" Mrs. Schenck can go to her new home' knowing she has "sold" many a person on this community, and has done the jdb well. Carnivals Leave Bare Pockets It is interesting to note the aftermath of many towns after carnivals have "played" their towns at fairs. ' Up at Boone, business men, and others are lamenting the fact that the carnival drained many a pocketbook of money that would have gone for winter clothing, fuel and other needs to meet the blast of winter. However, after the carnival left, the only thing many people had was deep regret that they had been played for -a sucker.56 1 -V v - From other towns where a carnival with the usual gambling and gip outfits flourish ed under the.auspicies of a fair, the same stor ies come forth. It is discouraging to realize that so many people seem never to learn .that they will al ways get the small end of the deal with such concerns. Happy is the community that goes on with out such expensive forms of degrading entertainment. ULjj 11 f i ifX!! - ' " Voice of the People A Passing Pastime The good old days are fast passing.

By LAWKENCE UUULU Consulting Psychologist' try to find why certain types ot men and women attract one an other by asking them questions to which they do not and cannot know the answers. If a gentleman "prefers blondes," the first step toward finding out why may be to learn whether his mother was a brunette and, if so, what makes him choose a girl who won't re mind him of her. , THE WRITERS John Park, publisher of the Raleigh Times and no doubt one of the traveling est newspapermen in the South, Is out West visiting "places of in terest", as they say in the social Mltimn. " -A . Holt McPherson of the Shelby Daily Star is on a tour of Europe and Palestine. Hoke Norris, formerly with the Associated Press and the Winston Salem Journal, is on a Neiman Fellowship. One of his books is now in the hands of the publisher. He is in' the process of completing another. Burke Davis, former sports edi tor and. latereditor of the Char lotte News, is moving deeply into the book-writing business. He is now with the Greensboro Dailv News. For years Oscar Coffin of the University of North Carolina and others begged and pleaded with Tom Bost to write a book on Ra leigh doings of the past. He could have written several, but just nev er got around to them. Bost was doing a volume on the late W, L. Poteat. at one time president of Wake Forest College, at the lime of his death. Lynn Nisbet. Raleigh correspon dent for the afternoon newspapers, scooped everybody on the Paroles Commissioner-,T;' C. Johnson-El-' wood Weaver thing last week.

"You're right, son," replied the janitor continuing his raking, "but about three weeks from now it will be just as green as you are," . Sounds like an oldie, but it was new to us and is certainly rather appropriate at this time of year. Just for a guess, who do you think will he the next president of the United States? REFUNDS The State Depart ment of Revenue is making adjusl ments in beer and wine excess taxes for Union County and towns to the tune of about $32,000 in ex tra money for Sweet Union. Due to illegality of beer-wine election held there. Cabarrus will also get refunds. By the way, what is being clone with the beer and wine taxes re ceived by legal control counties and towns? We find that in Bun combe, 34 per cent goes to the Junior College and Library. In Wallace, a new fire alarm sys tem was bought. Guilford County has allocated its funds to the Wel fare Hospital expense. Haywood put 46 per cent of theirs into the County Hospital expense. Wilkes uses their beer and wine taxes for temporary aid, county home, and TB hospital. " With cities, towns, and counties needing more and . more money, there is always a worthy place for any, type of revenue. . Can anyone say what you should like? FRYING There are two or three other matters of similar im port on the griddle, but It may re quire several days yet before they are. ready for publication. These "scandals" are difficult to handle. Frequently the stories are so much less than the rumors. No reporter wants to stick his neck out unless he has the correct dope. Reports are plentiful. They are not a little like the cotton candy you get at the county fair in that they often look big but. actually have little sub stance. 1 " Answer: Not in matters of art, :. anyhow says Henry David Aiken -of Harvard in the Philosophic Re view. There is nothing in the nature of a work of art or in any- one's opinion of it that can decide how we ought to feel about it. Nor is there any good reason for our ) feeling that we ought to limit our tastes to what is currently accept ed as "the .best." The esthetic i value of a work of art is not some ' thing for us to choose or decide; . it is measured by "the enlivening Joy that conies, when it comes, largely involuntarily from bur Immediate response to the subject itself." Jn short, if it -gives you pleasure. It Is "good art" for you. . - -v- Do you know why you picked your mate? Answer: Probably not, particu larly if you "married for love.'

The Call to Resistance WITH THE STUDENTS Much lo their surprise: St;ii rniii.o.. finds that it has a few more' stu denls enrolled this year than last. There has been a rather sharp drop at the University of North Caro lina. Wake Forest ColleRe, which had anticipated an enrollment de crease of 25 to 40 per cent, has 1.700 students, or an enrollment drop of about 12 per cent. Duke seems to be holding its own."
