O'Connor, calls "public enemy No .1 on the list of epidemic diseases which threaten the health of our home."- . . ' ,N If- polio happens to strike Duplin County in 1951 we will be glad that such an organization exists . and that millions of Americans contribute annually to keep its work going. .This is not the best reason , for supporting the March of Dimes campaign but it is practical enough to suggest results. : ' ; v t More praiseworthy is the desire to have a part i in the great effort to help the victims of polio, many of whom are youngsters. To give a little, in common with other persons, is to play a big part and to have the satisfaction, whenever one hears of the ravages of this disease, of knowing that the fight has our : support. " EDUCATION PROMOTES BUSINESS We address ourselves to the businessmen of Du plin County and the purpose of our remarks is to di rect their attention to education as the greatest pro moter of business that exists in the world, today.. We have been conscious of some businessmen, , when they pay their taxes, complaining of the cost: of education. Actually, they are now reaping the benefits of money expended in' the ; past in this county and elsewhere for the purpose of educating -boys and girls. ; i V i ' ; : We .have no figures available for the present -but, if one reflects, we are satisfied he will be con vinced that" the greater the average educational level in any area, the greater the economic activity. Ignorant people do not have the desire to purchase anything more than the, rudimentary necessities -of life. Educated-people, on the other hand, with varied interests, buy the products ofniodern indus- -try. . ' If one glances around the world today and stops long enough to consider the economic activity of undeveloped areas,: one will be impressed with the absence of business, except in the most rudi mentary form. If, by a miracle, one could transform semi-barbarous inhabitants of a Pacific island into individuals possessing the average intelligence of the people in this country, one would find economic activity "increasing in direct proportion to the edu cation of the inhabitants!' ' ' ' , We call attention to this matter because busi ness men, in their quest to lower expenses, should not begrudge the taxes that they pay: to support our public schools. In the United States, almost alone among the nations of the earth, education is the birthright of every child. In the public schools they learn fundamental principles of democracy and begin to understand how to get along with , their fellow men The result is seen in the increased desires of Individuals' which means, through the years, the urge to make money in order to acquire what one has learned to desire. - .

RBADlNQl ; M-itUMW The Great Teacher Lesson for January 28, 1951. WE HEAR a lot about a "better world." God pity the poor lout who thinks the world as it is, ! all rightl And may God stab awaka those who are afraid to try to make this : world betttr. m- gm 1t you want to see. a group, of people who are not afraid, and are ' really working at this, go to w your :- nearest Sunday school. There you will find teachera of rellg '..1 A. j ion; They may De doing a good Job or Dr- Foreman a poor one; but' anyhow they are tryirig.;' And when one ' of these teachers succeeds, even a little, In what tbey are all trying to do, the' world haa already been, made a little better. ' Greatest of Teachers ' EVERY Sunday school teacher, or any other sort, for that matter, should study the methods of Jesus to see what good teaching can be. He is and will always be THE Teacher. "" His object was not to teach science or history. 'The only1 technique he taught waa the most Important of all the tech- ., ntque of fine living. His object was to teach "what we are to ': believe concerning God, and what duties God requires of man." ri'"-,:lC-;-In short,, his subjects were Faith and Life, not 'separately but welded Into one. ' '' ;: : .'. Down Where We Live HIS. method was always simple. He did not use long words, he did not "put his hay on such a high shelf that only intellectual giraffes could reach it,", as Billy Sunday expressed it. Common people heard him ' gladly,, because, he taught In the kind of language they, used, he, spoke of things that- were familiar to them. ; ''Vf CV.' So the good teacher today;'; never teaches over the -heads of the class. This means he has to have a good imagination, - has to make believe to himself that he Is one of the class in stead of the, teacher. He has to . remember how the world looked to him when he Was bey, be haa to stay young In heart.. ';; rf.,.. .y .Jesus could surely- .have taught more profoundly than he did. In deed, he said at the end of his days, "I have many things to say ... but ye cannot bear them now." However true a thing might be, he would not say it if his .hearers were not ready tor it . ... I i . r','i;,:-t ;" v : - ' :'- ''-"': Truth in Pictures v i spHEN Jesus taught lnJ pictures; we call them parables. The best-loved isnd-'remembered parts of his teaching are the stories be told. Every one of them was sim ple; they were about, the kinds of people his listeners knew or bsd often heard of. ' The good teacher will always ' ; ase' illustrations.' But the beat , ones will come right' out of the experience of the pupils. Jesus a never quoted from a book his 1 hearers bad not read. He never -. nsed Illustrations that: only.' ;e 1 J Ph.D. ooold . understand. Far: 1 thermore he never tried to teach two things at once. :; A teacher, looking over a Sundax school lesson, may find it full cf suggestive Ideas; but it is general ly better to pick out one truth and illustrate it in several ways, as Jesus did when speaking of the Kingdom of God. than it is to try to bring out everything that could be brought - ouC- and so confusing the class. ' . .. ... Making' Them Think '. ' ' ' JJOVT some teachers, trying to be " ' simple, succeed only in being dull. The good teacher must keep the class awake, otherwise no one can learn anything. There is a good motto which . might be bor rowed by aU Sunday school teach ers: "Nothing that Is not interest ing; not everything that is interest ing; nothing merely because it is Interesting.": . Jesus gained attention and In- j : terest In various waya. One was ' the "cryptic" nature of his j teaching; that Is, It was often ponllng. There was of tea some- ' 'i thing that' sent listeners away ': i, thinking: -Now what did he mean by that? t , . ' X Confucius once remarked; "I glvt my pupil one corner of an idea. It he cannot : get ' the : other three corners for himself, I do not want him for my pupil." So Jesus often gave out one corner of a truth and let his hearers (and ourselves!) wrestle out the other three. - (Copyright t lh (nttrSallnal Gau II ( Kell(lllf Eaealla tebalf f to Protestant Stnomtaatloaa.

On the face of it, this would - seem to be an admirable Idea - - giving legislators an over all picture of the budget. However, It also will allow the proponents of the "hoUUthe-line" budget to . try to drive home their beliefs first. This is well-known : propaganda technique, it being generally true that the man who gets there first with his ideas has the easiest time selling them. , ' And an attempt In the finance committee to have Revenue Com missioner Eugene-Shaw come in and explain- the state's revenue set up failed by one vote 25 to 24. The committee was tied 24-all, when Committee "Chairman" E. T. Bost of Cabarrus cast the deciding vote against having Shaw in for an hour a day to go over the tax struc ture, ; Bost explained his vote by saying they would have Shaw In whenever any point needed clarifi cation, and that there wasn't any necessity tor having' 1 him. come around an hour every day. - Bost carries the conservative la bel,'' and his action irked many members of the finance committee who honestly felt they could better act on tax matters if they had a good, overall picture of the state's tax structure. i.; v 'i Ji One . veteran House member summed it up this way: - "They (the new members) feel that he house leadership is mov ing too fast for thesn, and wish they would give them a chance to , get tneir leet on tne ground. ; . v. thermore, the, freshmen are waking f neatest deals to come North Caro up: to the stacking of committees I wy ln many moon-In by 'the sonservative toD brass.

In this-' one; .theV' conservatives . have grabbed the ball andare attempt ing to run all the way for a touch down. But there are some indica tions already that .they may have fumbled the baU. Vv ; ' ' ' t; Senatorial redistricting is a bug aboo that causes legislative delir ium "tremens once every 10 years. Under the State constitution, North Carolina's senatorial districts' are supposed to be reassigned on a ba sis of population after each federal census.-,:: ...r;r i'.,'" j-lr. This was done in 1941, but the 1931 : Legislature got - around the constitutional mandate by the elm- GOOD MEDICINE & ttYrn pie method of ignoring It -. Up to now little haa been said about redistricting. But there's a rumor that the hoys from the west -- particularly in the neighborhood of Charlotte will begin felling for action.-. "; . --: ' , And, if the State Is redlstrlcted, the east will lose alnce the west and piedmont have' shown greater gains in. population. :.': '.;"r- So it's Interesting tb note that of the 10 members on the Senate's committee On senatorial districts, six are from the east and from counties with low population; two are from low population counties in the west, and two are from low population counties In the central portion of the state. So it would seem that if the west pushes enough to get a redisrict ing bill in the hopper It will have a tough fight in the Senate com mittee. A ''?;- Senator J. William Copeland of Hertford reported that there Is a move on foot In his First District to change it and put Hertford, Ber tie and Northampton counties all In one district. Now the First is composed of Bertie, Hertford, Cam den, : Chowan, - w-rrituck, Gates, Pasquotank ana - P erquimans. Neither Copeland nor Senator W. H. S. Burgwyn, Jr., of North ampton (Third District) -- both of whom are on the senatorial districts committee had much to say on the prospects of redistricting, how ever. :;ti: v:;:;'': :'-;-i '4.

" , ' The real rub to the' left out lawyer and banker is that a la bor leader had a hand in freezing them" out, and that advisors to the new 'corporation's, leaders are on opposite sides of the political fence.

This calls for a master plan to be set up, establishing, the amount of office space that will be needed In the capital for the next 10 years. After determining this, the land for these buildings would be leased. It was estimated at a meeting of the Joint committees on build ings and grounds that at least 200, 000 square feet of office space will be needed within the next decade. . A special sub-committee willjbe named to study 4he proposal. - One observer suggested that it would be .well for the state to set up a complete proposed building program for the future and assign each project a priority number.
