Most of the questions woe of a nega
tive character, which, indeed, was char
acteristic of tiie whole business, the cri
tics offered no positive, constructive al
ternative to what is being done. The
bearings gave the Communistic world
an opportunity to know how Americans
were thinking, and to plan according
ly. A few members of the congress had
opportunity to satisfy their inflated egos,
but it was an exposure which, to our
way of tanking, gave much aid and com
fort to the enemies.
One helpful aspect of the hearings
was the opportunity for General Taylor
and Secretary Rusk to give to the coun
try a fair picture of the whole situa
tion. The critics succeeded in dwarfing
themselves, while at the same time mak
ing the administration forces loom high
er and greater. Themihtaty training of
Dean Rusk and General Taylor served
them well in the ordeal of questionings.
We have not been able to get excit--
ed over the Speaker Ban law. Our pri-l
vate opinion is that it was a mistake,!
at we have too much faith in our young |
peopie to believe that they could be
easily convinced by a Communist speak
er. We think that the opposite would be
true, and that the college students
would ask the speakers some most em
barrassing questions. What does worry
us Is the apathy and indifference of
those who believe In Democracy, and in
the principles embodied in the Bible,
especially in the teachings of Christi
anity. Apathy and indifference can be
more deadly than any left, or right,
wingers. Many protests have been lodged
against the Supreme Court's decision
taking the Bible out of the pubUc schools;
yet generally the peopie took it out of
wider areas than the schools by their
apathy towards it, and their ignorance
of it Atheists and Communists can not
do greater harm to religion than those
who profess to believe, and then deny
its appHcatkxi to daiiy living, and in all
human relationships. We have had the
spectacle of left-winger* and right-win

If it was a mistake to go in, we have
to realise that we are in. Once the first
step was taken, under Mr. Eisenhour,
more steps, of necessity, arose. Let the
critics come up with some definite, con

to do, and let the congress vote its
share of responsibility. It is always
easy for the onlookers to say something

WHEN JESUS CAME 90 GALLILEE.
The common people heard Him gladly,
Down there In Gallilee;
He did not make than cringe and crawl
Before His majesty.
In His humble coming down to them,
With life's cup fitted to the brim,
They knew within their souls apower
lb move straight up to Him.
He placed Hb own life dose to theirs,
A Mfe with cant or Asm,
That He ntftfit make them see that they
Were sods of Abraham.
And Mghaf still He lifted them,
With love, hot chastening rod;
And in fafs jmeiiM i all men knew
That they were eons of God.
All those who saw themselves in Hkn,
Knew how high life could be;
And they warn glad that Jesus came
Tb them in Gattfee.
In Him they mm that life had purpose,
And that Mb was good;
Henceforth there was as standing place,
Save where the Ussier stood.
The skttsr folks were drawn to Him,

RACES
ROCKINGHAM, N. C.
High speeds are taking the
fun out of racing," stock car's
racing mast successful drirsr
said this week.
'Driving a race car use to be
all thrills.'' commented Ford's
Fred Lorenaen. But now it
is 75 per cent business . .
and probably because the
speeds hav; gone up so much.'
The winner of more than
$250,000.00 the last four years,
paused to sign an entry
blank for the March 13th
Peach Blossom 509-miler at j.
Rockingham's North Caro-i
Una Motor Speedway and then
added:
'On; mile tracks like at!,
Rockingham, they are much
more fun to drive. Its fast!
THMflgh to still be exciting for!
the fans, and it's tricky en
ough to present a real dri v- \
ing challenge to the driv
ers.
"A track like this is more;
competitive because it is how j
you set-up a chassis ana no
hbrsepjwtr that's most im
portant. Rockingham is like
Darlington. an all-chassis
track"
The March 13th Peach Blos
som 500 certainly will a
personal challenge for Lor
enaen. North Carolina Motor
Speedway is the only sup
erspeedway that the Ford
Flyer has not conquered.
•Not only that." remem
bered Lorenzen 'but I have}
never even led a single lap i
of the race there. I didn't I
do much in the American 500!
but I plan to lead this nexif
one." v
In his brilliant but short
career on NASCAR's Grand j
National Circuit -- he joined
Hoknan - Moody Ford forces j!
in 1961. Lorenzen has been
involved in just two serious
wrecks.
He slightly injured his back
in a preliminary to th«; 1964
Daytona 400. And only the
driver and cockpit Remained
intact after a sensational end
over-end mishap during prac-|
tice for the 1966 Riverside 1
500.
Lorenzen walked unhurt a
way from the Riverside
wreck, but he freeiy admits
that it had an effect, on
him
'Racing is just a good bu
siness," he said. 'And River
side took a lot of steam out
of me."
The man who has become
a fable in four years could
retire at any moment. He has
invested his money wisely.
But he is also a competitor,
maybe the best, and he still
hasn't conquered North Caro
lina Motor Speedway.
I feel sorry for the obedient
young men who must live out
their lives with these diso
bedient young girls.
