In Memoriams, Resolutions of Respect, Cards of Thanks, and other reading notices that clearly are not news, will be charged for at the rate of one cent per word. THANKS In behalf of our town, The Trib une would like to extend its ap preciation to S. Moseley IDavis for the very effective work he has done, and is doing with the young boys of Mount Olive, as their Scoutmaster during the past sev eral years. This good work was publicly recognized at the annual banquet of Tuscarora council, to which Mount Olive belongs, held in Goldsboro Tuesday night, when the council presented its highest award for service, the Silver Bea ver, to Mr. Davis. In the course of our daily lives all of us are leaving impressions on those with whom we live, woiflc and play. To the shame of some of us, these impressions are not (worthy, or of any value to those on whom, they fall. In Mr. Davis’ instance, however, he can justly feel proud of the devotion, respect and influence he has received from and weildad on numbers of Mount Olive’s young citizens. Their future lives will bear wit ness to the high ideals and mor al standards which he has empha sized through the Scout movement in Mount Olive. Even our limited knowledge of Scouting impresses on us the traits of Character which are necessarily incorporated in the nature of a youth who attains the rank of Eagle (Scout, and the large number (more than any oth er troop in Tuscarora council) of Eagle Scouts in Mount Olive’s Troop 34 speaks well for the type of leadership iMr. Davis has pro vided for local Scouts. Inasmuch as our Scouts today j are our leading citizens tomorrow, it behooves the town in general to heartily support, not only Mr. Da vis, but any other citizen or move ment which is striving to assure our future by building men and women of sound moral character istics. Thanks, Mr. Davis. CLEANER MOVIES Some years back, the Catholic church insisted that the movie in dustry improve the quality of its films. INow it’s the National Grange’s turn at the bat, and it has taken the matter up with Eric Johnson, movie czar, who (promises his co operation in the desired direction. Undoubtedly, the moving pic ture is having a iwiltle-spiread ef fect on American life today. Gen erally wthat we see impresses us more than what we read or hear; and there does seem to be a quite prevalent opinion that much of what appears on the screen today as anything but uplifting. (But Where is the clean-up to come from? Hollywood? (In view of the publicised moral tone of that movie production cen ter, the demand for cleaner mo vies reminds one of Nathane’s question to Philip: “(Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Also of that famous question by the .Savior': *1Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles ?” (Clean up Hollywood—if that is possible—and Hollywood products ■will be less objectionable.

C. i Hardly. i Admittedly, the strength of the organization depends upon the “Big Three”—'Russia, Britain and America. To be sure, America and Brit ain want peace, but. does Russia? IDoes a man who goes around with a chip on his shoulder, and with constant complaint .about 1 what somebody else is doing, want peace? 1 Russia wants to keep her troops in Iran, contrary to Iran’s wishes, 1 and insists that that doesn’t en danger world: peace. (But she pretends to think that (British troops in Greece, with the consent of the Greek government, does endanger world peace. (Pretty nearly ditto with the In donesian situation. Moreover, according to Drew Pearson, one of the best known of Washington columnists, Russia •has been guilty of spying on us since the war ended, about which our state department is wise, but for some strange reason, refuses to “raise the roof.” Permanent world peace? Bah! I CONFUSED Hanold Knutson, a veteran mem ber of the ways and means com mittee, who represents the sixth district of Minnesota in the House sums up the existing situation as follows: '“'Frankly, I am disturbed, eon fused, bewildered. The outlook for the future is anything but encour aging. Taking stock of the (pres ent situation, we find: ‘'1. A national debt of 266 bil lion dollars. 2. An outbreak of strikes that is strangling our economy. 3. The administration's continuant of deficit spending. 4. 'Our diplomatic relations with much of the world not good. 6. Un cle Sam still acting as Santa daus to all the world. 6. Government of. ficials afraid or unwilling to meet issues squarely. 7. The average citizen willing to let columnists, radio commentators and second rate hack writers do his thinking for him. ‘'Unless America soon wakes up to the situation that confronts her it will be too late.” How about using some common sense, together- with ^the kind-of coaperation and team play that en abled us to win the war? NORTH CAROLINA MARKET SUMMARY POULTRY & EGGS The demand for live poultry and eggs at most of North Carolina poultry marketing centers contin ued dull during the .week with supplies exceeding demand and prices weaker.

PLYMOUTH - CHRYSLER DEALERS Mount Olive, N. C. ALL THEY ASKED WAS AN EVEN BREAK Building a new country was no easy job. But there were men and women willing to tackle it—-to turn their on the safe and sure way of life .and their faces toward new frontiers. All they asked toot an even break. Free enterprise is another way of saying “an even break.” Free enter prise is not a political catchword. It’s the basic American principle of vision and personal initiative. Just give an American an even break—a chance to get ahead—and he’ll go on from there. But when government goes into business, in competition with its , citizens, the American ideal of an even break is destroyed—for government ' in business enjoys special privileges that are denied the people. Take the case of government-owned power systems, for example. They pay few, if any,, taxes; often get money V - •; . ' ■ ' ..." •• • \ •; .. ' • ’ * v-,-" from the U. S. Treasury at little or no interest; make up losses out of the pockets of the taxpayers. On the other hand, America’s business-managed power companies— owned and operated by millions of folks like you—are on their-own. They ‘;j, pay their full share of taxes, and they pay fair interest on any loans. i It’s a tribute to American self* , reliance that tax-paying, self-support ing companies supply over % of the enormous amount of electricity used in this country. . ' . .V The same forethought and experi ence which furnished electric power for a global war will assure America dependable — and cheap — electric service for a post-war world. There are still new frontiers in electric living v to be opened. And business men can J do the job better than bureaucrats, {CAStOLIttA POWER Jt LIGHT COMPANY J • V * •-* . . ., ' , _ k _ * c , 1*4
