I')?; Opinion and commentary by Paul Dickson Any attempt to express the shock and dismay of this community at the atrocity which has happened to Rosemary Cameron Wray must suffer from understatement, as grief is great, and the hearts of everyone go out to her family in sympathy. There are many who know there can be no real comfort for them at this time, nor for some time to come, and lament this fact. To understand why so often it is the young and lovely and promising to whom these things happen is not given to us. They do happen this way of course, and often, and we must count as a blessing the fact that we do not dwell upon it in our thoughts every moment of every day. Time passes, and our thoughts are more and more upon the world of the living. As the news of atrocities has come to us, more and more often of late, it seems, we have sub - consciously been thankful that they have not touched us here. Now we have been touched, and we must be aware, as this young woman was aware, that there is a world out there, and here in Raeford. that needs help, and we must accept the obligation, as she did. to do something about it. A couple of things about this political campaign seem to make it a little different from most. One is the intensity with which everyone is pursuing the voter, and the complete lack of time for any humor. 1 always figured that anyone who isn't big enough to feel that he can occasionally join others in laughing at himself isn't really big. No one in this campaign hxs shown me any signs of this except maybe Agnew on a rare occasion. ("The Spiro of '76) Bill Mauldin's cartoon last week has got to be one of the great ones about this campaign. You know, the one where the two draft dodgers were sitting in Canadj talking, and one tells the other that if McGovern is elected he is going back home and his old man is coming to Canada To me that's funny, whoever your man is. The other thing which seems to be making this election year appear to be different is the ama/ing success with which the credibility and honesty of people in high places is being attacked I am just about convinced that the highest levels of the Republican campaign were involved, or at least aware of. the prowling and bugging at the Watergate headquarters of the Democrats, and further, that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the domination of the Republican administration, is pussyfooting around about investigating the matter. I guess 1 am shocked to learn that these people don't have any more principle than 1 would probably have, under the same or similar circumstances. However. I don't expect -who bugs whom, or who tells lies on another is going to affect greatly anyone's decision of who gets his vote. Most of us. to tell the truth, are going to vote for the one we think will have the best effect upon our individual future. Whether we think him honest or crooked as a snake will not enter into the matter. Not really related to the political campaign, and in a much more serious vein, is our concern for the damage to the credibility of some of our senior military leaders which is taking place in a congressional committee room Irom day to day. It is sad and a little surprising to learn that some, at least, of our four - star leaders have weaknesses like the rest of us. Almost makes cine think that one of these days about the only way we are going to gel anything done is to get involved personally and do it for ourselves. And still in the general area of politics is the question 1 saw somewhere "Just how long are Ni\on's COattails;" That question would seem to have particular aptness here in North Carolina this year but the problem our Republicans arc having is not with the length of his coat tails, but just how to gel their Democratic opponents firmly tied in the public eye to the campaign ol McCiovern and Shriver. The Democratic candidates here are turning out to be master squirmers when it comes to the national ticket, aren't tliey' Browsing in the files of The News-Journal 25 Years Ago Thursday.

A common home enteitaiument fiasco is i he impromptu monster Itome photographs rall> ll Marts when a guest and your usually charming, bu\ occasionally obnoxious spouse. engage 111 j battle of'slides and home movies.

I quickly suggested we i ust pass .t round our collection of snapshots neatly mounted m albums and get the ordeal o\ei with, hut the photo fanatics would not be dclcricd so projectors. screens, countless ieels ??i film jud trj\s of slides were triumphantly Puppy Creek Philosopher Dear editar: I.ike everybody else in this country I suppose. I never have quite undei stood \ ier Narr, and after reading an article m .1 newspaper last niglit I am now wondering it Viet Nam understands Vict Nam. According to it. there are 45. that's, right. 4>. daily newspapers published in Saigon. S ou uke a man trying to keep up vm.Ii what's going on anJ give him 45 dilieient newspapers to read every morning and he's bound to be late tor work, it he gels there at all. The article didn't mention 11 bui theie's bound to be a lot of people in Saigon who never get the whole pictuie. or a lot ot people with the blind staggeiv rhe optometry business ought to be good. C)l comse. even it a nun read all 45 papers. 1 hat's no guarantee he'd get the whole pictuie. Me could still be mis ? informed In America we're a lot more efficient It you're going to be inadequately intoimed. why do it on 45 dailies when one will do the job just as well' That wj\. you can ruin your eves on television. Rut if sou think the leadeis in Saigon have problems, consider the plight of the publisheis. President Ilueu. according to this same article, recently issued an older requiring the publishers of all 45 newspapers to each put up a deposit of 20 million piastres, about $47,000 to cover possible future fines for violating the government's new pi ess code. You violate the code if you publish something "detrimental to the national security and public ordei I don't believe that code would work in the United States, especially the laiiei part You tell the newspapers they can't publish anything detrimental to the public order and you can see how many blank pages they'd have. It the present 1'iesidential lace lor example isn't detrimental to the public Older. I don't know what is. About all the news the papers would have left are buihday parties and weddings, and some of those would skirt the borderline. Youis tailhlully. J.
