!—Thursday, May 4, 1967, ©ooleemee, (N.C.) Journal Page 2 Once upon a time, as ye oldsters will remember, magazine covers and photo graphic displays in newspapers were of literary giants, lawmakers, success ful business men, great doctors, and great generals. Now, females, scantily clad, movie stars, or other glamorous stars of stage and screen, occupy the magazine covers, and pages of adver tisement. In this world of glamor and pleasure p.ne manifestations of the change in the sense of values which ob tained sixty years ago. Spiritual values have been lost in the glitter and the song of materialism. Some psychologists are telling us that the rebellion of the youth of today is a rebellion against hypocrisy —against people who profess high be liefs on Sunday and deny them in eve i-yday practice in their sense of values, wid in their practices in business, and Puzzlement And Frustration The general public is looking at something which is happening today, and doing so with amazement, confusion, and frustration. It is the deep impres sion made by recent court rulings which throws a protective covering over crimi nals, while providing no relief for the innocent victims of the criminals. To further complicate matters is the specta cle is that the profits of crime, enable criminals to secure the services of the best legal talent to defend them, and it is an easy matter for these lawyers to find loopholes to secure freedom to the perpetrators of crime. To the astounded laymen, it looks like a partnership be tween legal counsel and arch criminals. Religion In The Here And Note Last week there was a meeting in our city of a youth organization called the Beta society. It is composed of honor students from all over the state. I had some opportunity to note their conduct; and their membership in the society Is evidence of their scholastic achieve ments. Their behaviour was in such marked contrast to what we see on the screen, and what we read in the newspapers, that it was a real thrill to see this fine group in happy enjoy ment on the occasion of their gathering. It gave me, not only a feeling of per sonal pleasure to watch than, but a renewed faith in the new generation. They conducted themselves with great propriety, and I noted on the faces of many others in the cafeteria where we were dining, the same deep feeling of admiration and appreciation of these fine young people. I know that the local paper chronicled the meeting, but I did not see any special comment upon their fine behaviour. There are many people today who have high ideals, and high standards of conduct, but they get scant notice. It is the few who are rebellious, and who give the whole lot The Cooleemee Journal PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY J. C. Sell Mrs. J. C.

Once Upon A Time in human relationships. Our sense of values has changed from integrity, moral and ethical principles, and landed squarely in the middle of the dollar sign. It has become, not a question of right and wrong, but is it profitable? There have always been people who followed their own law of self-interest; but today the vast number of people and the rapid means erf communication and involvements in so many aspects of hu man relationships, that the problems are multiplied, and more deeply affect our human society. We should all remember that one purpose of the Bible is to reflect human experience, and both Bible and history tell us that unless a nation is built upon righteousness that it will fall. NCD We make this as an observation, not as iirect charge. Through reports of trials in the press we witness the badgering, and what amounts to persecution, of wit nesses, who are trying to tell the truth, but questioned by clever lawyers in such a manner as to make the witness make a sMp that might provide the loophole for a verdict erf not guilty—or a new trial. Hie excuse for these prac tices is that they are defending a princi ple, not a person--a complete denial of the fact that there is such a thing as common sense. How can people long respect the courts if they continue to rule against the people? NCD By: Rev. Norvin C. Duncan of teenagers a bad reputation. And, it should also be noted that the rebels and protesters are parading their own poverty of ideals, and their lack of achievements. Noisy paraders are of ten like the backwoods preacher, who when his people complained about his loud preaching replied, "What I lack in lightning I have to make up in thunder." The heart of the vast majority of our young generation is sound, and they will acquit themselves well in the tasks ahead of them. While we regret the bad examples of the few, we ought to take heart at the sight of the many. Last year when a group of this order met in our city, a hotel clerk told me that it was the best behaved group that he had ever seen in the hotel. Our hats are off to the Betas. NCD Fame, to the ambitious, is like salt water to the thirsty the more one gets the more he wants. The only time a horse gets frightened on the road nowadays is when he meets another horse. Like an egg, a supposedly hard-boiled man is yellow inside. The world will forgive you for being blue, sometimes forgive you for being green, but never forgive you for being yellow. The one thing worse than a quitter is the man who is afraid to begin. Faith is often the boast of the man who is too lazy to investigate. Sometimes, when a man is in the pub lic eye he Is jusrt a cinder. In their climb to fame, few except aviators, find it only one flight up. Often when a person starts to rest on his laurels he discovers they are poison ivy.

A boring speaker, delivering a dry-as-dust speech, paused for a sip of water. Again addressing the assemblage he said, "I pause to ask myself a question." Instantly one of the crowd shouted, "And it's a mighty dull answer you'll get!" • • * A recent survey found that the average person spends about one-third of his waking hours being bored. Some people assume a bored pane to appear superior. Actually, If we are bored with all that there Is in life to be excited about, we demonstrate our stupidity. Boredom comes frmo within, not without. One educator has said that we teach our children to be bored by planning every detail of their happiness* Then when they run out of games or people who will make games for them to play, they are bored. Much of our crime, excess ive drinking, gambling, use of narcotics, is the result of sheer boredom. The fault lies with those who were over-anxious to make others happy by planning every moment for In our economic lives, our physical lives, our spiritual lives, we must be free, even encouraged, to do for ourselves. Only in doing for oneself is growth and healthy maturity found. LANDAUCTION SATURDAY, MAY 6th AT 10:30 A. M. Boxwood Acres Developement We will sell at Public Auction a part of the Former W. R.
