Member North Carolina Press Association The News, November 20, 1947 Hillsboro Goes Over The Top Quietly and without much publicity a group of men in Hillsboro interested in the fu ture progress of scouting in this section of the county has contributed slightly in excess of $600 as this section’s share of the budget to carry on the scouting program in the county. —We feel that this is quite an accomplishment when it is considered that no public ap peal was made, the money coming from a select group of individuals in the section. We wish their desire to do something about the scouting program went further than the mere giving of funds to pay the hired help who administer the program. Several days ago we asked one of Hillsboro’s Eagle scouts who was serving as scoutmaster of the troop and he was unable to say. Adult investment of time and effort in the scouting pro gram in providing the leader ship needed- is nothing more than an investment in the youth of our town. They need the' supervision of adults in carrying out their programs. They need to have adults— their mothers and fathers— attend their functions and en courage them in the steps from tenderfoot to Eagle. Yes, we have done our part in giving the money for the program. But we have ap parently failed our youth in giving them the leadership they need. White Cross Has Newest Scouts Still on the scoflti n.g theme, we offer our congratu lations to the scouts of the neighborhood patrol at White Cross school who comprise the newest group of scouts in the Occoneechee council, f In his address to the -fcounty ,council of scouters in Chapel Hill Friday night, Roy Liles, council executive, referred to them as the newest group of scouts in the growing and ex panding council. . May you’ Scouts at White Cross grow and prosper. We look forward to the day when we print the story of the first Eagle scout from your or ganization. Promise With Alibi Declaration by Carroll Reece, chairman of the Re publican National committee tee, that his party will support specifications 'which seem to us to preclude this support. The administration’s plan, he says, must avoid “regi mentation, statifm'or impair ment of the freedotn of the in dividual.” • Who believes there can be price control or threat of price control which does not f tend to regiment dealers in foods and other commodities, and what individual manufac turer or wholesaler will con cede his 'freedom is unim paired when the government says how much he shall charge for his products or his wares? We’d like to believe Reece is as concerned for heading off inflation as he is with striv ing to show that a Democratic president hasn’t got sense or courage enough to do it; -but he no sooner supports under certain conditions than he an nounces in advance what may be expected to be his alibi. Lest We Forget Seeing a picture in the Sun day Daily News of a new schoojhouse at Dobson, we are constrained once again to de plore the loss of the bond issue which* would have afforded Chapel Hill the means of more nyarly meeting its needs for a high school plant. If one is to judge Worn the photograph, the Dobson building cost as much as it has been proposed to spend on the Chapel Hill structure—and Dobson, while county seat of Surry, is a wide pla«e in the road and nothing like so large as Carrboro, which commun ity *is also served by Chapel Hill high school. The education commission which was set up by the Gen eral Assembly at its last ses sion to make a thorough study of the public schools of North Carolina has before it the task of recommending what should be done about school build ings. Orange is one of the counties in which a special study will be conducted. . This may help the voters of tj^e county to comprehend the need for doing something about a situation which the nakedelt eye at a glance see is untoward. It may well, be that before the state is through with rehabilitating and aug menting its school system into some semblance of adequacy the state as a whole will be called upon to assist Orange and other counties with their buildings; but not we think until Orange has put forth considerably more effort to help itself. In fitting a collar on a horse or .mule, it should be put on and so buckled that the sides of the col lar are snug enough against the neck to make it feasible to pass the fingers only, held flat, be tween the rim of the collar and the sides of the neck when the collar is pressed or drawn strongly back against the shoulders.
