Cafcn, Careful"
All North Carolinians who wish wt?ll /or
their State will endorse the statement of Gov
ernor Umstead that "this is jno time for rash
statements." This, says the Governor in an
official comment on the Supreme Court's
recent decision is a time for "calm, careful
and thoughtful study." Anybody who under
takes to manufacture fury in this time of
great problem, to stir the fears of the people
or complicate a difficult State problem for
their own j>ersonal or political benefit acts in
disregard of the safety of North Carolina.
Governor Umstead could not have made
his statement at a.better time. The heat of
a political campaign increases the danger
that abme men might act in carelessness of
the future welfare of the State if they
thought they might get some quick benefit
for their candidate or candidates. But as
the Governor's statement suggests, such
"rash statements" in the spoken word or the
printed word, said publicly or spread surrep
titiously, could do much damage and no good.
This is a time for "calm, careful and
thoughtful study," not for rash statements
or even more dangerous ? or calculatedly
violent ? acts.?Raleigh News and Observer.
Time To Stop
One of the pride and joys of the many
communities in Haywood County in their
COP projects has been road signs.
Some communities have gone to much ex
pense and effort to put up elaborate and at
tractive signs.
Some of these same communitfes have suf
fered financial loss, and have had their civic
pride injured, when the signs have been
damaged. Some of the signs have been shot,
others rocked, while still others have been
splattered with mud.
It is unfortunate that anyone would ever
do sneh a thing, when the signs have a defi
nite place in the community, and add to the
attractiveness and serve as useful informa
tion.
Some ("DP groups have just erected new
signs, and are keeping a sharp eye peeled
for those who are inclined to damage such
projs rty. We suspect that a person caught
damaging one of the signs will regret many
t'mes his ill chosen pastime?and rightfully
they should. We trust the days of destruct
iveru'Ss are over, but if not, then the offend
ers should be made to pay the price of reno
vation, as well as the severe penalty which
-nich a folly carries.
Tiff-,average person is just as Rood as his
worn=5if he doesn't talk too much.
SprHrt? flowers are now in bloom and the
best i>*rt of it is that you can take your pick.

Defines Role Of Teacher
A teacher has six roles to play as a mem-'
ber of his profession, according to the Cali
fornia Council on Teacher Education.
These six roles, recently published by the
NEA Commission on Teacher Education and
Professional Standards, are the following:
1. A Director of Learning. This is the most
widely recognized role, requiring ability to
plan, administer, and evaluatae learning
activities.
2. A Counselor and Guidance Worker. It is
generally recognized today that, to the de
gree that the school has a counseling pro
gram, it is carried on largely by the teach
ers and primarily through classroom ac
tivities.
3. A Mediator of the Culture. Our civiliza
tion and the culture depend on the effective
ness of our schools. They rfequire citizens
with the ideals and values peculiar to a de
mocracy and skilled in the techniques of
democratic procedure. In equipping his pu
pils with these attitudes, ideals, and profic
iencies, the teacher becomes a mediator of
the culture.
4. A Member of the School Community. In
the curriculum building, participating in the
school goyernment, extraTcurricular activi
ties of the school as a whole, the teacher is
sharing in the responsibilities of the overall
school program.
5. A Liaison between School and Commun
ity. As a member of the community, the
teacher has a responsibility to interpret the
educational program to the public. The ef
fectiveness with which this is done deter
mines. in large measure, the degree to which
the public understands and co-operates in
the educational program.
6. A Member of the Profession. Many of
the important responsibilities are fulfilled by
the teacher, not as an individual in the class
room, but as a member of the organized pro
fession. In general these include two general
functions; securing support in building the
educational program needed for our times,
and improving the welfare and quality of
membership of those in the profession to at
tract and hold those who should enter.
Best Source Of Protein
Americans are hearty meat eaters. We con
sume 65,000,000 pounds of it every day ?
enough to fill '2500 railroad refrigerator cars.
Our annual per capita consumption is 76
pounds, which is well ahead of most other
countries.
Yet there are nations which eat far more
meat than we do. To take the extreme ex
ample, the average citizen of Argentina, a
country whose economy has long been large
ly based on cattle, puts away 248 pounds of
beef each year.
Many authorities think that within the
next 10 years American beef consumption
can and should rise to perhaps double the
current level. The American National Cattle
men's Association is now engaged in a na
tionwide beef promotion program, and pack
ers and retailers are cooperating. The pro
gram's theme is, "Beef is your best source
of protein."
That is much more than just an attractive
slogan. It's a matter of scientific fact. One
of the major discoveries of recent years in
the field of dietetics is that beef, because
of its high protein content, contributes great
ly to the mental and physical health and
vigor of individuals. It also has been found
valuable in aiding the treatment and recov
ery of people suffering from many forms of
illness. And it is a food which the average
person can eat once or more a day and still
find palatable.
Whatever increase in demand for beef and
other meats comes in the future will greatlv
benefit the farmer, and our great meat in
dustry is prepared to handle it.

The Glenn Miller Story
Fame in the field of popular i
music is usually a very fleeting
thing.
Songs seem to skyrocket to pop
ularity . . have their day on the
Hit Parade . . . and then fade away
as Tin Pan Alley continues to
grind out new songs that catch
the public's fancy.
As for the musicians themselves
?the dance bands and the vocalists
??their popularity lasts consider
ably longer than the songs they
sing and play, but they too feel
the constant pressure from new
comers on the scene
One especially notable excep
tion to this trend of brief fame is
the music of Glenn Miller and his
band, the nation's No. 1 band dur
ing the troubled days of World War
II.
The unusual thing about his pop
ularity is that Miller has been dead
for nearly 10 years, but hi* rec
ords continue to be heard on many
disk jockev shows, along with those
of Ray Anthony. Ralph Flanagan,
Guy Lombardo. Billy May, etc.
There have been many fine bands
in this country and there'll be lots
more to come, but nobody probably
will ever capture the hearts of
American music lovers like the
Gatlinburg Tenn., opined that the
human brain is a wonderful thine
?"it starts functioning at birth and
never stops until you get up in
public to make a speech."

Note to the Jaycees:' Now that

the general run of events. It seems as though there is
going on around to keep us busy for the time beir.g
are things about which we can comment and expre." our

fast-approaching Haywood Day at Lake Junaiuslta. the
