Editorial And Opinion No Place For Irresponsibility ■' * Certain members of the Chapel Hill school board have attempted to make capital out of the 1955 School Assignment Law as a lever to force a merger of Chapel Hill and Carrboro Schools or at least to gain additional funds to equalize the supplementary tax revenues throughout the area from which Chapel Hill draws its students. It has been suggested by sup posedly responsible school board members that should the merger election not pass, the Carrboro and White tiros* High school students and all the Negro students from outside the special tax district be "turned back" to the county. Such statements are highly irresponsible, based on mis conception or a willful attempt to mislead. The practicalities of the situation assure that such an action will never take place. It should not be threatened by responsible officials no matter how desirable the end may be in the final analfsis. Everyone An Explorer • National Library Week, which the nation has just cele brated. was made historic by a joint statement of former President Herbert Hoover and former President Harry Tru man—marking the first time in-their careers that they have seen eve-to-eye “ t he Bible tells us," they agreed, "that the truth shall make men free. , "We Americans know that if freedom means anything, it meins the right to think. And the right to think/bneans the right to read—anything, written anywhere, bv any man, any time. "Print is our passport to truth. It opens the richest em pire man knows—the empire of the human heart and mind. "Men die: devices change; success and fame run their course. But within the walls of even the smallest library in our land fie the treasures, the wisdom and the ssVm'der of man's greatest adventures cm ibis earth. "National Library Week will greatly sene if it makes us pause and remember these things." I o the joint and unanimous wisdom of our two very mttch-alive former Presidents of the I’S. we would like to add the comment of another chief executive, Gilbert W. Chap man*. chairman of the National Book Committee. Iuc.—co sponsor with the American Library Association of the first nation-wide observance of National Library Week. Our goat," says Mj^Cltapuifrn. "is- to make even w eek National Libra-:v Week. There is no better way—perhaps no othei way—for us to jneserve freedom and achieve our na tional objectives of peace and prosperity.

Long Tail On Our.Cat { A better understanding of the tremendous, job done by newspaper^ and their supporting industries to inform, advise and amuse their readers and to serve their advertisers by purtTTf'Ef buyer and seller in touch with a'arh other should comeTr'om a' new study just completed. _Aliy reader .or advertiser who niip|n hi- inclined to nk,e for granted an actecjuate supply of paper and tfie priming and distribution facilities required to get'‘newspapers before the eyes of America is in for a surprise at the armies of peo ple. the huge stints of moneyr and the vast natural resources that are devoted to his service. . . I’uhlishers ol f\ S. newspapers paid out uearlv a billion dollars in rqyy for- 'paper alone—almost six-ancbadialf million tons of newsprint—according to the study just released by the Newsprint Information Committer. Of this enormous acre age of printing surface, the lion’s share—well over half—was used by advertisers to satisfv public interest in information about available goods and serv ices. To produce the newsprint required for advertising space alone, the Committee estimates, 26.000 men worked for a year ill woodlands and mills, harvesting and processing an esti mated 75 million trees representing the annual regrowth from thousands of square miles of forests. These are mighty impressive totals, any way you slice ’em. And at this time when we are more aware than ever of the importance of continuing to buy the things we need and the things we’d like to have, the Committee’s survey brings into sharp focus the vital role of the newspaper—and the industries that support it—on our interdependent nation al economy. Next tittle an ad prompts you to buy staples or equip ment or luxuries—a can of beans, a rtew can-opener, the cat sup or a carload of feed, a combine, a deluxe fishing rod—it should be interesting to reflect that you are helping to pay the wages of lumberjacks, timber cruisers, paper mill hands] railroad men, sailors and truckers as well as the slaves here at home who get the paper out.

NOT QUIET ... The least quiet man among those being spoken of as candidate for Governor Is for mer State Senator Terry Sanford of Fayetteville. He’s making speeches all-round. As manager for W.

The Creator of all things gave man complete, unchallengeable control over one thing—the privi lege of conditioning his mind with any sort of mental attitude he de sires. Your mental attitude gives your entire personality a drawing pow er which attracts to you the cir cumstances. things and people you think about most. This . explains wh.v4many people go through life as failures—miserable,, ill of body and mind, and poverty stricken— For .these are “The “IhTSgs they af tract to themselves by tile thoughts they permit to occupy their minds. When asked what had contribut ed most to „his success, Henry Ford said, “I keep my mind so busy thinking a boot whatt I wish to' accomplish that there is no room in it for thinking about things I don't want.” When asked what he needed most in the suc cessful operation of his great auto mobile empire, Ford promptly ex claimed. “More men who don't know anything about how some thing can’t be done." And Thomas Edison, the great est inventor of all times, shocked his friends by stating that his deaf ness was his greatest blessing be cause it saved him from the trou ble of having to listen to negative circumstances, in which he had no interest, and enabled him to con centrate on his aims and purposcs in a positive mental attitude. Charles Lindbergh achieved fame and fortune by selling himself the belief that he could cross the At lantic Ocean in an airplane, even though he was stopped several times and his closest friends gave him no encouragement in connec tion with his greafcdesire. One of man's Strangest traits lies in the fact that it takes trage dy, failure or some form of mis fortune to make him realize the power of a positive mental atti tude. Milo C. Jones of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, made only a modest living as a farmer—until he was stricken down by double paralysis. Then^nr'tfBcovefed lhat Tiis mTnd power was greater than brawn and muscle power. His idea for "Little Pig” sausages made him fabulous ly^- rich on the same farm which previously had yielded only a liv ing. Your capacity to BELIEVE is your greatest potential asset. But you cannot draw upon it or bene fit from it unti lyou form the habit of keeping your mental attitude positive. It may help to remember that a man is only as big as the circumstances he allows to worry hint. Also, no one can make you angry or force you to fear any thing without your full consent and cooperation. Your mental attitude is the medi um by which you can balance your life and your, relationship to people and circumstances, to attract what you desire. Our great American Way of Life . . .

For the first time in more than 10 years not a single state-wide contest is on the Demo cratic ticket to be decided in the May primary. CONGRESSIONAL RACES . . . There are congressional races for the Democratic nomination in only four of the 12 districts. In the Seventh district Cas well P- Britt of Robeson County is opposing Rep. Alton Lennon of New Hanover who is serving his first term as a congressman. Lennon will be might hard to un seat. In the Fifth district Ralph Scott is now servng his first term In congress. He is being opposed by -two Winston-Salem faien, for mer State Rep. Winfield fclac£ well and Mayor Marshall Kur fees. Not many would expect Kur fees to win, he being a perennial candidate, who has been able to win the Winston salem mayor’s job only through a heavy Negro and labor union vote, and last year he came near being defeated in' the election by a Republican. But, Kurfees will probably pull enough votes away from Win field Blackwell to assure Con gressman Scott of a good lead in ■'“the first primary—Which could be the motive which prompted his candidacy. In the Tenth district practical ly everybody expects young Dav id Clark of >Lincolnton to run away with the nomination over Marvin Ritch. Clark a real con test'wnFcome in the faHTSlectton when he goes up against popular Charlie donas in |he November general election. Neither Clark nor Jonas should lack for money with which to wage campaigns in the fall. In the Twelfth district Rep. George A. Shuford is being op posed by four opponents. Heinz Rollman of Waynesville, Sanford W. Brown of Asheville, Arch Nicho|son Wallace of Swannanoa, and Beverly M. Middleton of Flat Rock. The Twelfth district pro vides the oifly GOP race for \i congressional nomination with W. Harold Sams and Ray H. Kimel entered in the primary. OPPORTUNITY ... We don’t know of a greater opportunity for a good, sound, energetic Democrat to make political hay than Dave Clark has in the 10th district now represented by Charlie Jonas. It will take.a tre mendous amount of leg work. Some Democrat is going to hit “pay-dirt” sometime and it may well be Dave Clark this fall;.
