Editorial And Opinion Escalators And Umbrellas We noted in New York’s Radio City the other day that an old-fashioned innbrella had caused a' minor crisis by allofv ing itself to get hall-swallowed by a new-fangled escalator. An alert elevator starter stopped the "machinery by pressing the emergency button. Then a maintenance crew began the job of extricating the remains of the umbrella, rag by rag and rib by rib. •’> All ol which was a forcible reminder of what an anomaly the umbrella is in modern times. Its sole excuse for existence, keeping the carrier dry, has always been open to dabate; and in view ol todays claims for “wet-proofing” should be without substance. Thus, it is theoretically outmoded at least. In blocking the carrier’s vision it produces traffic hazards. In being- used to shelled two people it insures that both will be soaked. Jn being left behind in all sorts of places it causes a tremendous amount of needless telephoning -and scurrying around.

Only The Carpet Was Red Konrad Adynauer, 78 year old Chancellor of West Ger rfnatty, in a;thror-day s isjr to Washington hailedby Presi dent Eisenhower .it his press conference as one of the great statesmen of our time . . animated by good sense, dedication to his "people and to the peace of the world. Later i,n the clay the German leader was met at the Wash ington National Airport by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles who voiced simihir sentiments, and whisked the Na tion's'guest away to a formal state dinner an which Mr. Dulles was host. The following day. after a conference with the Presi dent. Chancellor Adenauer was guest of honor at a White House luncheon attended by Mr. Dulles and ranking de fense officials.

In thanking the President and Mjv Dulles tor-their support, he declared: “The- whole German* people arc united in tlu- desire to live in continual, cordial friendship with the American people." It is believed that Dr. Adenauer also secured during his whirlwind Washington* visit at least tentative assurances on US aid in-supplying tire tanks, artiliciyTt'TreLjaft Iltiflraft Tg quired by the twelve divisions and the 1,3*6 plahe air force approved by the London agreements. These chores attended to, Dr. Adenauer was free by the week's'end to fly to New-York for further fetes, to receive an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws a>t Columbia University and latef to lec ture at his#Arrierican alma matter. .

Novel Idea President Eisenhower believes that it would be a good idea to appoint a man who has had experience on the bench to fill that vacancy on the Sn preineCourt. In fact he told his press conference he thought this would be a good practise in the average case where Associate Justices were concerned. But he drew a distinction between these posts and that of Chief Jus tice, to which he appointed California's former Governor ,Earl Warren who had never before been a judge. This post, he said, presented a very special problem, aT though he didn’t explain it.

The rest of the battle was a nightmare for me.

Boy, "you bet ter do something.” , “Put this guy out", I yelled to the guards standing nearby. I didn’t even look back. My at tention was focused on the massa cre taking place before me.

I can’t keep calm any more. That could just as well have been you that I had them give the bum’s rush to during the game. I was so excited I juet^didr*!t know .what LMvasido ing.” “It probably would have been better”, he replied. “It wouldn’t have bothered me too much. I kinda understand those things—but this was the first one of your games our* brother Hubert ever came to.” Well, I determined then to do two things: apologize to my broth er, Hubert, for having him tossed out of the lot; and to quit the coaching profession. I apologized to- Hubert the nexF week, and the next, year-after completing an undefeated, un scored-on season, I quit coaching.

Since the sweet) potato is a .tropical plant it will; continue, to grow -as long as* weathef conditions arc favorable,, so if the vines' are allowed to grow until killed by frost many of the potatoes may be over size or jumbos. It is better to dig the j crop as soon as the majority of j the roots are of the most desir able size. Digging should be done as care-; fully as possible so that there is j a minimum amount of cutting and j bruising. It is often..said that sweet potatoes should be handled like eggs. That is an exaggeta tion but it is a fact that wherever the skin of the potato is bruised a hard spot will develop. Also, there is chance that the potato may rot in storage if the bruise or cut is not properly healed. Grading should be done in tjhe ( fljpd lUjfl the potatoes picked (ub in the containers in which thejr are to be stored Bushel baskets and slatted crates are satisfactory storage containers. For ten day to two weeks sweet ' potatoes ' should be stored at a curing temperature of 85° F. with about 85° humidity. After the curing period the temperature should be, allowed to drop to about 55‘T. for the remainder of the storage period. At no time should the temperature fall below 40° F\... . Sweet potatoes should not be handled, during storage. Handling will promote rotting. If any pota toes are fl be sold, the entire con tainers should be removed, re graded and not put back in stor age. Tobacgo barns have been suc cessfully used for storing Sweet potatoes. However, they are not well insulated and the tempera tures must be carefully checked during „ gold weather. Storage houses built especially for sweet potatdesJ,'are more efficient, In-, formation aboul sweet potato storage and storage houses *may be obtained from your county agent or from the Dept, of Horti culture, N, C.

University Art Director Likes 'All Phases' Of His Field "I like to be mixed up with all i phases of art," says Dr. John V.1 Allcott, head of the UNC art De parhnent and director of the Per son Hatl Art Gallery ' ^ "" Born in Wisconsin.. Dr. Allcott attended the University of Wiscon sin from* which he was graduated in both creative art and art his tory. His next five years were spent at the Art Institute of Chi cago, - There Dr. Allcott realized that he wanted to teach instead of doing advertisirg art as he had iJreviousiy planned, frhe decision o change his field o.f work was brought .about.*when he began teaching Saturday art classes for children. After realizing that he wanted to teach, Allcott began in structing art at sueh places around Chicago as Lake Forest Academy, Chicago School of Sculpture arid the Art Institute of- Chicago. Rtoyal Academy In continuing -his Studies Dr All cott next went to the Royal Acade my in Florence where he studies\ both painting and art history. While in Europe he also traveled] to t1nance, England and Germany to visjt picture gallerias. Upon his return-to the United States Dr, Allcott, wanting to rin “graduate work and to teach, en rolled in the University of Chicago., Here he worked on art history while teaching art classes at North western. Businessmen’s Art Club and downtown branch of the Un iversity of Chicago. Dr, Allcott took his first full time job at Hunter College in New York.’TJjere he taught art appreci ation. Coining to UNC in 1941, Dr. All cott hap, remained here ever since with the exception of 3 years, dur ing which tmfe he designed sound slide films, for the Navy. " New Field The work which t)r. Allcott did for thg N$yy opened up' a whole new field gf interest for him. The new field was pictorial continuity, which consists df taking ideas and translating them into stories with picture defies. Dr. AUcott feels that tfrslan inexhaustible field.

How Big Should A Man Be? We know a‘lot of people who are not satisfied with their size. We know fat people who would give anything to lose some weight; we know skinny folks who try and try, without success, to gain some We know some tall folks who wish they didn’t “stand out" so in a crowd: short friends of our aecfuaintance keep envying the taller ones. We even know one six-footer who wears small heel lifts to make himself appear taller He knows he’s tall, all right, but he just feels that he’s^ not quite tall enough. 'Ilow big should a man be? He should be big enough to look every other man-in the eye, feeling ‘ .,.»£■ ■ ' ' superiority over Turn! analo r ----- down the street w4th the spring dt pride in his step.

There are mgny dimensions of a man (and we use man in the sense of human being, ngt the other half of womankind) and the most important ones are not phys ical. If everyone could be “big” this would be a better world to live in.—The Spindale Sun. the department,” sard Dr: Allcott about his work here. “A little bit of everything" includes both lec ture and studio courses and office work. The lecture courses, which Dr. Allcott teaches during the win ter,concern modern (19 and 20 centuries*), art. and arch features. The studio courses, taught hy Dr. Allcott in the summer, are in draw ing and designing. * Dr. Allcott's sausfaction with the teaching setup he has here is ex pressed thus: “I like to be mixed up with all phases of art. Usually one becomes a “real specialisf TH“ some field, but that isp't my way. of operating." ...■* ' .• In connection with the art de partment of UNC Dr. Allcott said, “Our art department started as it is now, diversified and including all of art. The department is not specialized, but all embracive as it should in a state university.”, Art Here “Art at this university is within the humanities. We don't have a professional art school, which just happens to be here. Art majors are within the regular program. Within, the general program we are hard pushed to give'them all basic art work they need, but they are strong and so they carry, slightly heavier loads than other students. It's stiff but very good.” “Our main action for the past five or six years has been planning for a now gallery.” Although it is still is in the planning stage, Dr. Allcott expressed his enthusiasm by saying, “One of these days We will walk down Columbia Street and there it will be.” The site for the new gallery is where' Archer House used to be. ,•.

How do you protect yourself in the use and. enjoyment of your property against unreasonable in vasions from outside of cfistress i n g odors, noise, blockades, smoke, and the like? The first step, of course, is to determine whether the situation, which is obnoxious to you, is, in the eyes of the law, a nuisance. Since the law divides nuisances into th|)se which are private and Those whoch are public, jt is necessary to determine what kind of wrong is being done to you. Public In general terms, the. taw rays that a public nuisance is the invasion of a right which belongs alike to all citizens. Such “publie’tw -eights are in the Use of streets, navigable streams, government buildings and the like. North Car olina has defined (by statue) cer tain conditions which are, in themselves, public nuisances. The law calls these “nuisances per se." ana/in this state, some of theme are: Maintaining any building for lewdness, prostitution, gambling, illegal sale df wfiiSkgy or narcot ics. These offenses are',’ of course, aajnst pubfic morals, an<f, thus, are crimes, rather than mere nuisances. So, court actions brought to put a stop to public nuisances, must be In the name of , the- State. Slot machines constitute a pub lic nuisance. So does the inten tional handling of poiSohous snakes. ~*The violation of a court or.der against a statutory public nuis ance is punishable by^ fine of $200 to $1,000, or, imprisonment of three to six months. J=——:— Private - What aboutthe -private nuis ance? It is obvious that each of us must put up with some offen sive things as the price of living in the human commfciity. This, a private nuisance is an unreason able interference and produce the kind of offensive situation which is unreasonahle, and, which—the public ordinarily will not tolerate. So, with such a broad defini tion, the kinds of interference ft'hich may become nuisances are almost unlimited. The .North Carolina court once forced an airport, to close down because the approaches to its runways brought roaring planes too close to a medical clinic. A Florida court awarded a drug store damages and an injunction against a cafeteria because its waiting lines blocked the sidewalk in front of the drug store. Thus, By Charles w, i (For the N.
