Editorial And Opinion
A Test For The Community
Of paramount interest to a1 great many people in this
community, especially the business segment, is the current
effort in industrial development, which will materially in
crease the payroll potential of the area. Speakers at Monday
night's meeting, callecf to obtain public financial support for
the formation of an industrial development corporation, re
peatedly emphasized that the Hillsboro community virtually
had nc| chance to secure new industry unless it could offer
rental space for such an industrial tenant.
This was confirmed, likewise by Paul Kelly of the De
partment of Conservation and Development, which has had.
as its primary mission for many years the securing of niw in
dustry for North Carolina. He has literally advised and aided
hundreds of communities in similar projects.
In the case of Hillsboro, thus, it seems the first pre
requisite now is making available sufficient and suitable
rental space for industry. It must prove it wants new busi
ness-something, which in all fairness, it may not have ever
proved before. ,
We recommend that every, citizen interested in this
common objective get in nehind this current effort and give
it a fair trial. Too often in the past, we have just talked and
done little else.
TheTormation of a corporation to push development, to
our way of thinking, is definitely on the right track. We pro
posed a similar approach close to to years ago, but failed to
sell the idea sufficiently for success. Cooperation by everyone
can do the job this time.
Bureau Deserves Support
The Orange-County Farm Bureau appears to he in the
midst Ibf its most promising membership campaign thus far
and we wish it every success.
The farmers need the strong collective voice whic h the
Farm Buret u has provided on many occasions in the past,
and while all of its policies nationally may not always coincide
... with lhe peculiar interest of one section it’s beneficial work
for agriculture as a whole is well recognized.
fts appeal should not just be in the tobacco section a'lonc
_hut throughout the agricultural economy.
Young enthusiastic-leaders have taken the reins and as
is so often the case prospects augur well for the future.
Bitier Reminder
, EXPECT NO BETTER SPEECH FROM the President
« on his' tour than his answer to a press conference budget
query: “. . . I believe we are spending too much money and
contemplate spending too much money ... I think it is too
bad we are forgetting such words as thrift and economy in
this country. We are suddenly getting the theory . . . that
just money alone will make the U. S. greater, stronger lx>th at
home and abroad, even though you continue to depreciate
the value of that money.”
Only trouble is, it reminds us of 1952— and what Uasu'l
happened since.
Don't Live Too Dangerously
Fhe burglar’s best “helper” is his victim!
This ridiculous truism has stood out through the years
of continuous burglary prevention research. People still leave
notes to the milkman which advise the burglar also on the
fact they will be away from home—and for how long. The)
still forget to tell the newsboy to stop delivering the paper
while they are away, and the telltale collection on the front
stoop invites the housebreaker. And many who are highly con
scious of security at the front door overlook the insecurity
at the back entrance. Still others leave, ladders handy for the
second-story men.
- To combat these and sundry other human failings that
have been consistently helpful to thieves and vandals, the
lock folks have been publishing for some years a “rate your
self’ checklist on security precautions for householders.
Originally a decalog Of protection, this now-famous safety
quiz, reflecting the recommendations of police officials
throughout the country, has added an eleventh query:
“For your own peace of mind a«d home protection,” it
asks, “do you have a bedroom telephone extension so you can
quickly phone your local police or fire department in an
emergency?” The winning answer, of course, is “Yes”.
Other questions that should be answered affirmatively
art*:
.“l)o you avoid leaving notes telling where the house key
can be found? f
“If you lose an exterior door key, do you have a reliable
locksmith change the locks?
“Do you leave at least two interior lights on with shades
up and Venetian blinds partially open when you leave the
'house for an evening?
“When leaving for an extended period, do you arrange
(by phone or mail only) to have mail held for your return,
newspaper and milk deliveries suspended; advise police and
neighbors of your scheduled absence?” ^
There are still more, but this gives you an idea. As for
the latest suggestion of a bedroom telephone, this could of
fer protection from the cruel world as well as from burglars.
• On those d.iys when you wondered why you ever got out of
bed—a telephone at your elbow might have permitted you to
give up the whole idea.

MR
NO NEW TAXES? r ... With bus*
incis steadily improving all over
North Carolina, there was careful
talk In revenue offices here last
week to the effect that it might
not be necessary for the State to
add new tax burdens.
Although Governor Luther Hod
ges still pointed to the need for
more money, Edwin Gill—an old
hand at money matters—seemed
more optimistic. Having been
closely connected with our State
Government for more than a quar
ter of a century. Treasurer Gill
should know whereof he speaks.
COMMERCE SECRETARY . . .
The long article about Luther
Hodges in the recent issue of Time
Magazine revived talk in Demo
cratic circles here and in Wash- -
ington that he will be the next
Secretary of Commerce when the
Democrats take over the White
House in January of 1961. .
Governor Hodges is playing it
carefully: and is said to stand in
good with a half-dozen leading
candidates for the Presidency.
NO DIFFERENCE . . , A friend
of ours just returned from a week
in Washington and New York says
consensus is there is little to
choose between Nelson Rockefel
ler and Averell Harriman.
Rockefeller, running as a Re
publican. fe regarded-as liberal as
Good Democrat Harriman. Neith
er is regarded among the old-lin
ers as a typical Democrat or Re
publican.
The race is so close that even
the sharpest politicians in Albany
think the decision will not be
known until the wee. small hours
of Wednesday. November 5.
SWEATER . . . This childless
couple living near us in Raleigh
became very fond of the little
curly-headed, freckle-faced five
year-old living next door. He runs
erpands for them, helps rake
leaves, and is a general little han
dy man.
They kept after him to spend
the night with them. His mother
agreed last week he could—-and
so last Saturday night he bun
dled up his pajamas and went
over.
But the next morning when they
called him to breakfast, he said
he was still-jdeepy. Thirty minu
tes later they called him again,
but he still wouldn't get up. Final
ly,, the man of the house went into
the room and playfully pulled the
covers off. The little boy lay
there in a big puddle, his pajamas
wringing wet.
“I,sure did to a lot of sweating
last night, didn't I?" he said. *
TRUE LOVE? . , . Although we
do not always agree with the
vigorous stand it takes on various
matters, a paper we read daily
and find most interesting is "The
Raleigh Times,” our afternoon pa
per here. It is a sprightly sheet
well edited by Herbert O’Keef, a
newspaperman first and an editor
second.
But one R. F. Truelqve evidently
does not like the Raleigh after
noon daily even a little bit. Last
week he wrote it thusly:
"May I, as a long time friend
of the Malcolm Seawell family—his
father was a close friend—ask that
your paper cease praising him so

“Vfv had great hopes for his po
litical future, but with your ard
ent support, plus that of your big
(boss, The News and Observer, we
'fear that he will be repudiated by
the thinking public. Give the fel
low time to mature and gain ex
perience.
“Being from out of town, I don't
see the Times very often, thank
God, and realize that its coverage
is limited, but every bit of harm
is Just that much.”
Editor O'Keef gave the letter
prominent place on his editorial
page under the straight heading
of:: “He Asks That Times Not
Praise -Scawell.” -

Understanding Begets Faith
It was during the blitz in London that the paster of a bombed-out
church, reading Scripture in a corrugated iron shelter to his flock of
• stn^-n, *b^Pr»de»red and tc..Iited'peoriTF’^b were groping for a
strength outside of themselves, received an inspiration that today is
fortifying Christendom around the world.
The shocked realization that the young people listening to him
"understood hardly a sentence” of the King James version he was
reading, launched Canon J. 13. Phillips' monumental task of making
the New Testament understandable to present day readers. At first
he could devote but a single morning a week to this work and spent
five years on his new translation of the Epistles. Published in the US
under the title “Letters to Young Churches,” it has now sold more
than a million copies. •
UHimately Mr. Phillips was relieved of pastoral duties so that
he might devotg full time to his “effort to introduce Christ as he
really was, and is, to people as they are today.,” Now, “The New Test
SE ,"fiM.0:Tn E"8li"h” has *>een completed and published (Mac
millan, ..6) and is already a ranking title among the best sellers.
it would be unpardonable, in Mr. Phillips view to call him th„
noloT 2 didfn°‘ K-ritC thCSe b°0ks myst’lf ,n ‘Elating I am
not the author of anything. I simply put down on paper what I under
stand the Holy Spirit was saying long ago througn the first writers."
In describing his approach to his work with the original Greek
documents, he wrote: “I emptied my mind as far as oossihle *
conceived ideas and conclusions . I did my best to be detached and
disinterested . . . As for thp ri^nii nf ueiacnea and

RESPONSIBILITY ... We have
recently observed National News
paper Week and most newspapers
had something to say about the
Press’s Responsibility in this great
Democracy of ours. But when the
daily press plays up statements
of a carperbagger like John Kas
per we can’t help but wonder
about its evaluation of the news.
As a matter of fact a good many
of our state dailies appear to be
pro integration and there may be
a feeling that by linking the opposi
tion to integration to scalawags
like Kasper, they can stun those
level-headed people who would
hold integration off as long as
possible. Kasper's following is
practically nil, and when the news
mediums ignore him his days as
an agitator will be over.
SEAWELL . . . While Governor
Hodges carried young Malcolm
Seawell to the wood shed and gave
him a good spanking for his con
tinous speech-making about the
necessity to obey the U. S. Su
preme Court, behind the.*scenes
information is that the Governor
is not really angry with Seawell.
Our information is that Attorney
General Seawell feels that with a
record of public utterances up
holding the authority of the U. S.
Supreme Court, that when the
time arrives to test out North
Carolina's laws designed to have
as little, integration as possible
that the state will be in a much
better position to argue than had
the state’s number one lawyer
been defaming the court, and
cri t icrzing its- decisions. The - Gov
ernor is said to be in agreement
with this thought.
STATE FAIR . . . We always
like to visit the N. C. State Fair
and last Friday, accompanied by
my son John Lee, 13, Billy Wick
er, 13, and Butch Gilliard, 10, we
made the trip. The fair had out
standing exhibits and lots of peo
ple. We happened to be at the
Fair Office when Governor Hod
ges arrived to make his official
visit, and upon invitation joined
the party for a fast tour of the
fair and what it had to offer.
Fairs used to be called “agricul
tural fairs,” but today, the State
Fair, like the state is becoming
diversified. Many of its attractions
have to do with subjects other
than agriculture. The science and
industrial growth in the state is
not being overlooked in progres
sive fain* today. It was pretty
dusty at the fair and the grounds
there need some black-topping
like Kerr Scott gave rural roads
in North Carolina .When the weath
er is dry the dust is bad, and when
its rainy the mud is worse. Dr.
J S. Dorton is pushing the idea
to have some paving. The Fair,
b> the way; is self-sustaining and
must pay its way. By charging
more for concession stands, Dr.
Dorton feels that money ^can be
had to take care of the dust and
mud problems through paving.
STADIUM ... At the Fair we
hoard some talk of a “Tobacco
Rowr m?ar the fairgrounds which
would seat 75,000 people. Sugges
tion was that it be built on a
■self-liquidating basis.' Thought is
that it would be a great attraction
for North Caroling.
