Editorial Thoughts Ob Progress. Mankind progresses and advances through the medium and use of ideas. They not only keep the world moving progressively but in many cases a single idea has revolu tionized it. Ideas play an important role in every walk of life. Thev revitalize and give new life. Ideas are like potent tonics; they are life-giving minerals and vitamins to success ful men and organizations. Useful ahd helpful ideas are all about us. They exist at almost every turn, but in order to discover them we must cultivate an alertness for them. Our eyes must be open, our ears must be attuned, and we must be taught t<£ dis cover them promptly as they appear. Every successful leader knows that good, useful, workable ideas are somewhat dif ficult to discover. One must adopt the habit of searching for them as a fascinating pursuit. Every great invention and useful discovery has come directly or indirectly as a result of an idea. Many of the miracles of modern times which we too often look upon as commonplace_the radio, telephone, airplane, televi sion, and. literally hundreds of others_jtre the aggregate of many men’s ideas, ideas that have been constantly im proved and bettered through adding other men’s Ideas. Our matchless and unparalleled record of accomplishments are the sum total of literally thousands of men’s ideas_ ideas that are advancing mankind toward a greater brother hood of men_ideas that are building and trnasforming lives. There are times when useful, new ideas appeared so far advanced that many conservative minds may have looked — upon them-as radical or explosive in nature. History has recorded countless examples of men whose ideas were so far advanced that society would not accept them. Many men have died in scorn and ill repute because they clung to their ideas^-ideast that later proved a boon to mankind. We in' Orange County have the capacity to be as alert and as progressive, yes, even as aggressive, as citizens of other areas of our state. New industries are springing up in progressive communities all over North Carolina, Indus trial plants are being developed and whole communities are on the move. Hillsboro, Carrboro and the rest of Or ange County outside of the educational center, Chapel Hill, have many advantages to offer new industries. Some ag gressive and intelligent efforts should be made to develop our resources along these lines! A self-satisfied community cannot stand still. It is bound to: retrogress and its in . habitants, even the most self-satisfied, are the eventual losers. __- . «. . Not Much Civilization Many years ago, the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that he found pleasure in paying his taxes. “With this I buy civilization,” he observed. We live imagery different kind of age today. Less and less of our tax money goes to buy those goods and services which make for true civilization. More and more of it goes to buy the implements of war, old and new, which, if every tion itself. Iti the world of the present, this is ait unavoidable trage dy. But that tragedy‘is needlessly compounded by the ever increasing spending of the people’s .money for purposes and projects which have no bearing on the national de fense and security, which are unnecessary and avoidable, whjch weaken our .institutions and undermine our liber ties., and which, finally; tend to destroy our savings by creating more inflation aiid cheaper "dollars. 1 he leaders of our government tell us we mlist pay more taxes in the name of national survival_that all must "sa crifice.” But - - ssrve for a handful of honorable exception* to a sorry rule -- none of them say that the government too must 'sacrifice," by eliminating every expenditure which is,no tclearly and directly essential. They tell; us that the “business as usual” philosophy? During this new fiscal year, Federal, state and local spending will account for about one-third of the national income. And still the staggering waste goes on. Well Try To Hold The Fort Mr. Weyman Carmichael, Sr., Editor of the-" Morgan County News of Madison, Georgia, serves, notice on his readers that he is off for a month’s vacation, and under the heading: “Our Vacation is Necessary”. With complete sympathy, understanding and envy (since we’re not going on a month’s vacation), we quote our distinguished col league: “Being overworked from running tRe government and from straightening out the difference between Mr. Mac Arthur and Mr. Truman and then from having to make a living on the side, it has almost broke us down. We find it necessary to take a vacation trip and rest up from- all of our labors. The thing that has almost brought us to a nervous breakdown is the fact that after all of our advice and instructions to our government officials they seem to have ignored it. It has brought us to such a run down con dition that it wilt take at least a month’s vacation to build us up again. We hope that the poor ignorant fellows that are running our country won’t completely wreck it before we can get back and take it over again.” .

It is the old story of any ends justifying the means. One of these incidents oc curred in Caswell County, our next door neighbor.___ Many Person County people people probably read the story in the Durham paper which told of a Negro farmer in Yanceyvflle who was sentenced to two years for attempted rape of a white woman in that county. The communists picked up the incident and have been giving it national coverage in their press and also in Europe. It is a para dox that the Communist who pro fess to be doing the most for the American Negro actually do them the most harm. The real truth of the matter ia that the Commuriists care no more for he Negro than do the most ardent white supremists of Mississippi and Alabama. They use the Negro to stir up trouble caring little for any lasting bene fits for him. The Yaniceyville case is just one example. There rea] aim is to keep this country of ours divided and thus weaken our_^ strength. ’ - ■ L j ~ The New York Times reporting on the recent riot in Chicago, where a large number of white people destroyed! the proprty of a Ngro family that had moved into an all white area, said that investigation indicated that com musint started the riot. A few months ago a young Negro by the name of Willie Mc Gee was executed by the State of Louisiana for rape. Unbiased observers indicated that the boy was guilty but that in all like hood he would have been sen tenced to life in prison had it not been for the communists who came into the case and in general strained fellings in the communi ty. Examples of this type could go on and: on but they all* add up to the same conclusion. The Com munist Party in the United1 States is interested in bringing about a revolution for the benefit of their real boss Russia. They use the Negros as minority group in order to" cause' dissension. -They have no real Interest in helping the NegroT They use this same technique on other minority groups In this country. A few American Negros such as the singer Paul Robeson, have turned communist, but the vast mapirity of Negroes in this coun try,.:wil have nothing to d:6 with the movement.1 It is to their credit that they - have seen through the devious workings of he Commu nist Party and refused to play the role of guinea pig. --0-; The Chrietiap Viewpoint Prepared by Department of Bible Presbyterian Junior iCollege Maxton, North Carolina —“Your sermon Sunday was ex cellent and did me much good,’’ said the housewife to her ipastor. “Gan you teH me- the text?’’ he asked. - “I don't remember it exactly,” she said. “If a sermon did you so much good, it seems you would remem ber the text,” he said. “Doctor,” she said), “do you see that sheet hanging on the ling? It has been washed and is now clean and dry.. Not a drop of water in in it. The waiter went through it and cleansed it. It is not the amount of the sermon which remains in my mind which determines the good I get from it.” < Worship renews our souls, and our souls need so much renewing. “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his ways? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.” Ps. 119:9.

A good ques tion, and one that is easily an swered. The trouble is known as blossom-end rot and is not caused by a disease organism but by dry weather and lack of moisture.- I have seen as much as 50 per cent of a crop |gst because of it. Pre vent blossom-end rot by timely Irrigation andi mulching-tout do it before you lose your crop. Have you planted your collard seed yet? It is time now to plant collard, cabbage, broccoli and Chinese cabbage seed for fall crop. In the Piedmont and Coastal Plain areas there is still time to set tomato plants for a late crop. last until October. Plantings tl‘ snapbeans, butterbeans, and sweet corn can also be made now, since we have had a little rain. About this time of the year a few gardeners like to plant late Irish potatoes, using small pota toes of their spring crop for seed. The difficulty comes in getting the early crop ipotatoes to sprout, since their rest ,period has not been broken. Sometime they may be induced to sprout toy spreading them out in the shade and letting them green up. Another way is to break the rest period by treat ing the seed with a ■chemical)-. Ethylene ChlorhydTin. This treat ment is not successful if the wea ther is very hot. Ethylene Chlor hydrin may be obtained from some of the large „seed firms in the South, and your county agent should be able to get you infor mation concerning its use.

Educalrtonal Director N. C. <Aloohollc Rehabilitation Program 1 . . Raleigh - “Why does Joe dnnk so much? Why can’t he be like other -people? Take it or leave it? These are ageless questions. They indicate tlhe men who con sume alcohol are a greater pro blem than the beverage they con sume. Why does the problem drinker consume what is readily accepted! as “such an abnormal amount?” Authorities in this field have found a basic reason to be ob session.' The problem drinker is Obsessed with the feeling that al cohol is the only thing that will make him “normal.” Feeding deeply, malignantly upon this ob session is the sufferer’s sick per sonality. . Dr. E. M. Jellinek, world . au thority on alcohol-related pro blems, estimates nearly half of the nation’s compulsive drinkers are disorganized personalities who • turn to alcohol for quick, tempo rary • relief from their conflicts. The remaining proportion of pro blem drinkers are rather normal persons who turn to excessive use use of alcohol in the course off their drinking. Whatever the case, real obses sion becomes a powerful force in the sufferer’* life. Normal think in*, rational judgement about cohol become impossible for Z. person desperately obessed the idea that he has to have ai cohol- -teat life would be possibly difficult without it. Regardless of how or why h began drinking^ the compul^-! drinker, totatlring about 5 per ^ of the total drinkers, uses aleo. holic beverages for a unique and often misunderstood reason--hb psychologically terrifying obses sion with it. ■_ _\ Most scientific authorities in this field believe alcohol addie tion is basically psychological rather than physiological. They also agree that alcohol addiction is not an inheritable affliction due to known cellular or meta bolic peculiarities biologically transmitted. They add, however that certain personality defects and constitutional . instabilities might make a person more prone toward alcohol addiction. “Why does Joe drink so much?" Through either a, disorganized personality or subtle increases in amount and frequency, Joe be came a compulsive drinker. Grad ually he (became obsessed with the idea that normality for him means another drink- -another quick, temporary relief from his conflicts which always emerge bigiger obstacles after the fog.
