Roimrns T;W. ~ ^ ^jj^H rr I Beautifying Roadsides It is good news that the State Highway Commission proposes to beautify North Caro lina's roadsides and calls on citizens to co operate with it on lands adjoining highaway rights of way. If North Carolina were an ugly- or ordi nary looking state, it would -not make much difference what happened to its roadsides. But it is a naturally beautiful one, from coast to mountains. There never has been any sense in our hiding our scenic beauty under a bushel of roadside excrescences, such as snipe signs, billboards, and automobile, bone yards. In a countryside where almost any sort of a tree or shrub will grow without much urging, there is every reason for the state and its people to cooperate to make our roadsides some of the most beautiful in the nation. It will pay us to do so from three view points?the esthetic, the patriotic and the practical, all of which interlinked. Tourists come out to see beautiful scenery and spend over $300,000,000 a year in North Carolina in the process; that sum could be raised to half a billion by outstandingly beautiful road sides.?UNC News. The 26th Annual Ramp Convention ' Those in charge of the 26th annual Ramp Convention to be held Sunday at Camp Hope, are optimistic over the prospects of the "best year yet." They have been working hard on details, and according to the official scouters in the ramp patches, the potent little roots will be at their peak on Sunday. The cold weather killed the tender tops, but like many other things, the ramps made a successful come back and will be ready for the convention. Since this is an off-year politically, the program will te minus the usual throng of candidates "making time" among the thous ands in attendance. ? Music, singing and the continuous serving of eggs, country ham, ramps, black coffee and cornbread will be featured throughout the day. The annual address by Thad Eure, North Carolina secretary of state, and the crowning of the queen will highlight the morning pro gram. Eure, the "speaker for life" has an ?nowneed from Raleigh he is ail ready, and after being hemmed in by the General As sembly since January, is looking forward to getting to Camp Hope Sunday. 11 the convention runs true to form, there will be thousands to attend, with many being introduced for the first time to a ramp?an experience which remains almost as long as the odor.

Tru.y an occasion that is worthwhile, and one which we feel is growing, as sentiments increase from year to year. In this connection, we are reminded of the sto v of one of our great industrialists who said that whatever he had attained, he owed it all to the lesson taught by his mother. Modern education, political maneuvering and complicated business deals, while hav ing their value, were not mentioned. The industrialist said in part: "I am certain, that as a boy, I was less than average to everyone except my mother. No matter what opinions others may have held of me, she thought she saw in me as do other mothers when looking at their yourfg sons the making of a man who could be of service to his fellowmen. "I know now that whatever means the most in my life can be traced back to the lessons mother taught me, as it was she who first taught me some of the greatest values of life. "These values may be summarized in three rules of living. These she constantly im pressed upon my young consciousness, not only by words but also by her deeds. "They are: (1) love people and serve them; (2) love your work and give it everything, and (3) love your God and put your Chris tian principles to work wherever you are. "Now I know after a long and full life, that these rules for living are not only simple and down-to-earth, but are the most practical and provable secrets of realizing the great est possible happiness. "A fundamental love of people?all people ?is an unfailing mark of the finest character. An ingrained attitude of 'what will I get out of it?', leads up a blind alley to failure. In a job, or in life, you simply are filling human wants. "You get ahead in direct relation to how well you offer the toil or service or brains that others want and need." Lessons, such as these, are taught dailv bv mothers. Get Your Red Hots Here! Another baseball season is underway. In ball parks all over the country the crowds are turning out for the most typically American of sports. A culinary delicacy which is also typically American goes with baseball ? as it goes with other diversions. That's the hot dog. Last year the incredible total of 8,500,000,000 of these edible canines were consumed ? which works out to a little more than one per person each week. It's very possible that the number will be larger still this year. And the hot dog's cousin, the frankfruter, is also being eagerly devoured in steadily in creasing quantities. Our devotion to the hot dog is symbolic of the national taste. We are a country of meat eaters. Save for a few small countries, such as Australia and Denmark, we lead the world in per capita meat production. Beef is now the favorite of all meats, having pass ed pork in 1953, and this year each of us, on the average, will eat close to 77 pounds of it. That indicates the tremendous challenge that the livestock and meat industry faces. Estimates say that 20 years from now our population will be 215,000,000 ? almost 50, 000,000 more than at present. If our present rate of meat consumption is to be maintain ed, production will have to be increased as much as 15 per cent over the next 15 years and 30 per cent over the next 20. It's a safe bet that this challenge will be successfully met, so long as we keep our free market and our competitive system. . - TheyH Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo Glibup.tue political office seeker,pf?m?estdcltan up the crry WTEN04VS ? 1 " 11 ' 1 ??*^w I BUT T4KE A S4NDER 4T HIS OWN DI66IN6S WHICH HE H4SN,T CLE4NED UP IN TWENTY YE4RS %%* AMO IP ELECTED [ v ?

WASHINGTON ?I was invited to address the Harvard Law School 1 Association of New York City on j last Thursday night. This afforded i me an opportunity to speak on a subject that has given many mem bers of Congress great concern. It is what *s happening to the law of the land and the supposed sov ereignty of the states. THE SUPREME COURT . The Constitutional Convention of 1787 comprehended the ever lasting political truth that no man or set of men can be safely trust ed with governmental power of an unlimited nature. They were de termined above all things to estab lish a government of laws and not of men. and they provided for the doctrine of separation of powers. They failed to place any well de fined limits on the judiciary pow ers. It was strongly felt that the Chief ExecuUve would always select, men to sit upon the U. S. Supreme Court who would be able and willing to subject themselves I to the restraint inherent in the judicial process. Although one may possess a brilliant intellect and be actuated by lofty motives, he is not 1 qualified for the station of a judge! in a government of laws unless he is able and willing to subject him self to the restraint inherent in the judicial process. How is this mental discipline ac quired? It is ordinarily the product of long and laborious legal work as a practicing lawyer, or long ju dicial work as a judge of an appel late court or a trial court of gen eral jurisdiction. It is sometimes the product of long and laborious work as a teacher of law. It cannot be acquired by the occupancy of an executive or legislative office. Law is destitute of social value unless H has sufficient stability to afforl reliable rules to govern the conduct of people, and unless it can be found with reasonable cer tainty in established legal prece ; dents. For generations. Presidents se lected men who possessed the background and mental discipline to be distinguished Justices of the l U. S. Supreme Court. These men had long participated in the ad j ministration of justice either as i practicing lawyers or as julges of the State Courts or as judges of the Federal Courts inferior to the Supreme Court. They knew that it is the duty of the judge to inter pret the law, not to make it. I was taught by my father in my youth to repose an absolute confidence in the Supreme Court, i He was accustomed to refer to the Supreme Court with reveren- , tial awe. He used to say that this tribunal would administer justice according ?o law even though the heavens fell. Candor compels the confession that on many occasions during recent years the Supreme Police Families Aided DETROIT <AP> ? A group of businessmen calling themselves the Hundred Club have organised to help families of poBtomcn kill ed in line of duty. In its most re cent case the club paid off a $3,400 mortgage on tbe home of Mrs. Katherine Ferguson, paid a $798 mortgage on her car and sent her a check for $1^000, Sgt. Cashel Furgerson was killed on traffic duty. Want Ada briar quick taaalU. Court has to all intents and pur poses usurped the power of the j Congress and the States to amend the Constitution and to nullify acts 1 of Congress. RESTRAINT The majority of the members of i the Supreme Court during recent years have been either unable or i unwilling to subject themselves to the restraint inherent in the judi cial process. A11 of the members are genial gentlemen of high at tainments and significant aooomp , lishments. But the majority have not had the background which is i necessary to the judicial process. A qualified accupant must lay aside his personal notions of what the law ought to be and base his de cisions on what the law has been declared to be in legal precedents. 1 deplore the practice Of Presi dents of the United States in re cent years who ignore the numer ous servants of the law who have performed years of devoted Judi cial service oa courts inferior to j the Supreme Court when they are called upon to make appointments , to the Supreme Court ot the Uni ted States. It may be that In making these observations, I am merely enact ing the role of a fool who rushes in where discreet angels fear to tread. If so. I can plead in ex tenuation of my folly that I love the American Constitution and know that an indissoluble Union composed of indestructible States cannot endure if our government of laws d?*s not survive. ?sfkflT 25 * IN U.S. INDUSTRY ' *? i _ T 1 r-R r * 1 ?? n|_r i n > *1 T 1 r i / -i 15 - _ l^w? wmn | Q . 193V4J '47 !4l!
