^3, -r 'iff’ Editorial And Opinion Future Generations&enefited In the death of James Compton, Orange County and rhe Cedar Grove ((immunity lost a useful, dedicated citizen. The imprint of his wisdom arid character made an itt delihle impression upon the county's school system and the children of future generations will reap the benefit. His in terest atid work in behalf of a consolidated Negro elementary school in his community helped this county to reach the fore front in providing ,equal facilities for children of both races and this influence has already reaped untold benefits. Hi? gentle spirit and Christian endeavors, likewise, were an inspiration to his community'. • Appeal To Reason, Good Sefife We trust sincCtely that the present strike at a local In dustrial plant'inay be settled with dispatch and with is little inconvenience to the workers, the management, and the local Community as gctc'd sense dictates. This community's relations between management and la l*ot" historical I v have been good,.to the everlasting benefit, we believe/ol all parties involved, the general public in rc hided. We urgy that everyone involved be cognizant of tins' heritage to the end that reasonableness prevails. . - - Vertical Take Off An edgv President Kisetihower, who assured his press ronferetice lie was "feeling very much better", also decried •futile" and fatuous" talk about serious budget-cutting, defended loreign aid as "mutual security . and froze a re porter who asked it he would be "willing to do without that pair of helicopters that have been proposed lor getting von out to die goh course". * - -Well. ( dojiT think hftuh oT the question. said the President with unusual asperity. "because no helicopters have been prcxtired for'me logo to the golf, course." He shut oil further questioning with ait icy “Thank you, that is all." But there's something symbolic alxnit those helicopters. After the first golf-transport announcement, it was said they were to take him to the atrjxirt. and the latest explanaion is they are to take him to the "secret White House" in case of a genuine air raid alert. In view of the fact that most of the cabinet were helicoptered to Camp David for a meeting alxnit a year ago. it would seem that the Air Force might he able to take c are ol the President “without all this hutlaballcx». On the other hand, he also told his press conference that sav ing "a lew millions here and a few millions there" was pom economy. What Happens When You Drink Years of study, experimentation and applied research at Yale I'liiversity's famous Center of Alcohol Studies have re vealed almost everything aiivlxidy would want to know about plain and fciacv drinking. Aimnst everything W. for there is still no phvsiofogica| explanation of why one drinker Ih\ roiiics an alcoholic and fourteen, others do not. Ac cording to Dr. I .coil A. Greenberg, who now heads up this research, the stark fart that |.7 million ol the 70 million I'S drinkers become alcoholics "appears, mainly to Ik* a per sonality problem. The evidence unlay is that the problem isn't onlv‘alcohol—it's people." But many of tile facts that Dr. (.reenberg and hig stall hare established are re|x»rted by Herbert Yahraes in the April Reader* Digest, and should he Of TSteiest, cvcii to those who hare done son'u^e.searclrol their own.'

II you add soda-water..it will get there even faster, because' car bona lion * sjxeds passage . thrHtigh the stomach—-which explains why c hampagne goes to your lie; I so cpiic kly. A little alcohol—the amount fomyTin two or three cans ol beer—calms the nerves and eases tensions. A can of beer contains about the same amount ol alcohol as an ounce ot whiskey, but beer and wine contains solid materials such as protein and carliohrdratc which 'slow'up the rate* at which alcohol gets into the blood. II you take an hour aiwl a hall to drink half a' highball or three-quarters of a can of beer, the alcohol will he oxidized by your fixer as rapidly as it is absorlwcl and you will iiot feel it. ^ » * What almui the .permanent affects of drinking? "In the moderate drinker xve have'nt found any, ' re ports Dr. Greenberg. "Alcoholics—jieople who can't stop alter a few drinks—are another matter. They often suffer severely from nutritional deficiencies. Most of them have a disturbed liver, too. and one in ten has delirium tremens or some al coholic ment: I disease." . ... Interesting and enlightening—but here's the hint for longevity; "A multitude of icsts show dial after two or three cocktails or hi'gldcall xxe react a trifle more slowly to the flash of a light or the ring of a hell. . . However, sinct* ottr center of judgment is depressed, xve think xve c an do everything I let ter.

Greenberg said. “. . . the. problem isn’t'only alcohol—it's people.” And all too often, it s people in cars! * > i 1 I I BBiBW (Continued front Page 1) television stars, stone-faced -Ed Sullivan, brushed the appearance of the Great All-American Lennie Rosenbluth off so casually when he presented- the stars of the na tion the night after Carolina had taken the great Kansas. Thus I was deeply gratified-to redd what our Rockingham wri ter, Ike London, had to say about the incident in a letter to df the daily newspapers. TO THE EDITOR : "Ed Sullivan missed the .boat....in. last Sunday night’s broadcast. He in:*» traduced Lennie Rosenbluth along with the other eleven All-Ameri cans but seemed to pointedly omit mentioning that Rosie was on the "Carolina team that Saturday night had won the National collegiate championship in basketball. •Which causes me to wonder what would have been Sullivan's t • reaction had Kansas won! "Chances are he wouTd have lugged 7.2-foot "Stilt”- Chamber-. .lain to tbe front of the stage, and with arm around the giant Negro's , shoulder expatiated to the world on what a great victory Kansas had won and what a great player Chamberlain is. "But Carolina won, and lie had no occasion to shouldei out the "Stilt” with a*rn-circling admira tion.” All we can add is: Hooray for Ike London. NOTES . . .

JOHN W. UMSTEAD Hearings for those groups wish ing more money than that recom mended by the budget commission were concluded on Thursday after noon. Additional millions were requested during these hearings and on next Tuesday the committee will begin considering these requests as a full committee or they witt authorize the jjfppointment of a sub-comri|ittec to Handle them and report to the ?ull committee at a later date. Experience has shown that the Subcommittee plan enables them to get the job done quicker. After all the full committee would have to adopt any report that the subcom mittee might see fit to decide upon. Hear Employees Plea The State' Employees Association, the Highway Employees Associa t on and the United Forces For Edu cation were heal'd ' last Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Beckwith, Executive Secretary and Mr. Monger. Presi dent of the State Employees Asso ciation represented* their association . and asked for an increase of 15... per cent straight across the board. The Highway Employees Asso ciation were represented by their president, Mr. Ilardestry and the Chairman of llie Highway Com mission, A. H. Graham. They made practically the same, re* quest as to increase in salary for . highway employees as that made lor other state employees. In regard to the straight across llie board request there is a rumor' that the administration wishes to grant whatever increase is given in a different manner. They say that the increase is being given due to the increase in cost of living. Cite'Same Needs This" being true they contend that a man with a wife and two chil dren who ntakes $3,000 needs just js nuuh to meet increased living usts as does the jnan with a wife and two children who makes $6,000. For this reason there are those o'ho say the administration will icTsIr to write'Mnto .the-appropria tion bill the exact amounts that will be paid under the increase granted. This amount would be greater in the lower income brack ets than the amount paid across the ^gartl plan. 1 shall support the plan that takes care of those in the lower income brackets as well as others. The United Forcies were repre sented by N. C, E. A.. The State J. C's, the State Grange, The State Association of University Women, The State Association of School Board, the State Congres of Pa rents and Teachers and others. ' Speaking for the J. C's was Bob '"ox, their State President. His presentation was easily the best of I he afternoon. All these * organizations asked that the suggested increase made - By the State Board or Education Be given the teachers. At the present t me it appears certain that the teachers will get a 15 per cent in crease with many hoping that it will be posible to give them tbe lull 19 31*per cent requested. Many Local Bills During the week there were many bills introduced, both local and statewide. ..Many local bills were passed and as regards getting through with local bills it would seem that the present session Is well ahead of the usual session in tills respect. There were many hearings before commttt.es on both (See. VMSTEAD, Page 7) It will soon be safe to plant many of the warm season vege table crops in fnost sections of the state east 'of the mountains. Tomatoes.) eggplant, and pepper plants sfeotud be hardened before transplanting to the field. This cjan be done by withholding the water supply; that is, by keeping them on the dry' side for a few days. You may be interested in try ing some of the more recently introduced snap bean varieties. Wade, Contender, and Seminole are varieties which are almost immune , to bean mosaic, which * .. . • ,* ■ . Headaches! Headaches!

The old standby, Kentucky Wonder, is still good. The production of sweet, corn in the home garden is increasing each year because of its popu larity for fresh use, freezing and canning. There atje a few gar deners who still like to plant early varieties of field corn for roasting ears because the ears are large and perhaps the corn ear worm injury is a little less on these vari eties. However, once you have given real sweet corn a fair trial, you will not be satisfied again with field corn" There is no com parison in edible quality. Recom mended varieties for both fresh use* and far processing are Seneca Chief, Golden Cross Bantam, and Ioana. These are all yellow vari eties and are widely adapted. A good deal of emphasis is still being placed on ice box sipe wa termelons. The New Hampshire Midget variety has become quite popular in the home garden. Hills can be spaced*as close as five feet and the melon does not grow much larger than a cantaloupe. This variety becomes overripe very quickly, and this should be remembered. Perhaps the best variety of the ice box type is the Japanese or Hybrid Seedless. It will average from 8 to 12 Ihs. in weight and is of excellent quality. The seeds are undeveloped to the extent that they are not objection able when eating the melon. You will find seed of this variety a little more expensive than some of the others. v' Tar Heel PEOPLE & ISSUES By Cliff Blue Speakership . . . While all mem bers of the 1957 House must win renomination and election to have a part in the election of the Speak er of the 1959 House, the race is already on and it’s a three-corner ed affair between-Cak Venters^ of Onslow County who is now serv ing his fifth term, Addison Hew lett, Jr. of New Hanover who is now serving his fourth term and Tom White of Lenoir County who is now serving his third term. Neither of the trip has made a definite and * public . announce ment of their candidacy but all have been discussing the possibil ity with friends. Early indications • are that White would likely have thd bulk of the Support which George Uzzell had before he' with drew Whew if became clear that Dmighton would be the winner for tlie 1937 Speakership. The sup- ‘ porters of Doughton appear to be divided between Venters and Hewlett. It’s too early to do much speculating as to the outcome as each of the three candidates as well as the members must win renomination before knowing for certain that they will be able to qualify as candidates. TRUSTEES .. . . Membership on the Board of Trustees of the University of North Carolina is one of the most sought-after places in Tar Heelia. Just why, we have never been able to figure out. We think some people seek the posi tion simply because on the board are some of the top citizens of the state. And too, the members get passes to the State-Carolina football game at Chapel Hill each fall. There are about 30 places to be filled and most of those w-hose terms -are expiring are candidates for re-election. The General Assembly elects the trustees but for all practical pur pose the Joint House ahd Senate Committee on University Trustees does .the electing. In the House there are 42 members on the com mittee and 20 in the Senate. Each of the 62 members are being ask ed by candidates and friends to vote for certain people and the contest will grow in intensity un til the , committee meets and ..makes its selection. Members of the committee vote by ballot their choices. Committee members themselves are often candidates and through back-scratching can usually win a place on the board ii they really try. For sometime il has been the feeling of quite a few members of the General As sembly that it would be well to disqualify any member of the House and Senate from being a trustee candidate while a member of the House or Senate. We think thts would be a good rule do %»ot expect the policy adopted at tins session of s erai Assembly. MINIMUM wage cents minimum wage ty have stronger support tlj than ever before. We feel has a fair chance for passa) though there are some « determined not to Itft group - get their foot in the as it Is so often stated, b, time ^bu will find legislate porting the measure who fe ways opposed it in the g the.House J. P. Wallace of gomery County is chain the Manufacturermg and Committee. He has already tbld that the ...commits# could hie a tie and that he have to cpjt the decisive] so Wallace will vote agaij bill, and in this ease it wj expected that a minority would be filed w hich "w# quire only a majority to j the House. Bqt the .Minimna bill has not been* introd* the House. It was introda the Senate and if success^ w ill come across to the H« action. WE THE PEOPLE Week Dean Clarence Mania ed constitutional law prof# Notre Dame, addressed the banquet meeting of the N. tizens Association. Dean h while an extremely able a quent man is just as consa as J. Paul Leonard of Stall He delivered a niosf chall address on the nation's drift toward socialism and munism. Despite his reaa doctrine he had a message would be good for air .Mm to hear. It was at one of annual dinners of the N tizens Association -that W.

He refused to an swer questions as to his dealings as head of the Teamster's labor union. He declined to turn over his records to’ the committee. His defense behind the Fifth Amend* ment was not a satisfactory role for a person charged with his responsibility • as a powerful labor leader. We have not heard ttie last of Mr. Beck. Tup!® Number One • ’ But there are other things of far-reaching importance going on in your Federal government. The number one topic of cloakroom discussion seems to be budget slashing and cutbacks in Federal spending. Pressure for economy has posed serious threats to foreign aid and school construc tion. The battle lines are forming tor perhaps the greatest debate on foreign aid spending that we have experienced; the President's program is in serious trouble.
