Paul Dickson writes in an editorial: “People who feel that a newspaper mishandles the account of an event must wonder what steps are taken to do this, if the editor or reporters say to themselves, ‘Let’s just see how unfair and cmel we can be with this one,’ or do they think nobody really cares what the product is Mke, whether it’s factual or who gets hurt, just get something printed and make a day? {snip} The vice- president has expressed the opinion that the press of the nation is peopled by smart liberals who deliberately mishandle their power and choose news and ways of presenting it that lead people toward the wrong kind of thinking, (snip) So, when an event takes place in Hoke County, it is not my right to decided arbitrarily whetherpeopleof the county should know about it or not. It is my obliga tion, as a newspaperman, to see that the tme facts are made available to them as exactly and as honestly as I can. If it’s a fact, the tmth is its own defense, and the tmth must be in the public interest. Sure, we agonize over the fact that an item may break some mothers heart, but concealing the fact will have a worse effect on more people. We must try to use our best judgment to be tme to the public interest, but at the same time to be fair, to be just, to try to be kind. We must respect other points of view, and be quick to acknowledge our errors. These things we pray for and work at in this business, and for the ability, with humility, neither to fear the frown nor court the smile of anyone. We win some and we lost some.” VFW officers are,left to right,GeneThacker.JohnTalley,Thomas Macko, Robert Carpenter and Johnnie King.

Division of Motor Vehicles since the new identification debuted on May 1, 2017. REAL ID is the single form of identification that meets new federal security requirements for boarding a commercial airplane and visiting federal facilities, including military installations. The requirements are already being enforced at Camp Lejeune. “While many North Carolin ians are ahead of the deadline, we have two short years to get four million of our residents prepared,” DMV Commissioner Torre J. Jes sup said. “I encourage everyone to gather their documents and obtain their REAL ID now. Traveling by air will be easier with a REAL ID when the Transportation Security Administration begins enforcing tougher identification require ments at airports in 2020.” The N.C. REAL ID is like a traditional North Carolina license or ID, but has a star in the upper right comer. The federal REAL ID Act established the requirements and the program is administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. To obtain their first REAL ID, residents must bring the following verification documents to a local driver license office: • One proof of identity, date or birth and/or legal presence (lawful status): certified birth certificate or unexpired U.S. Passport • One proof of name change: certified marriage license or certi fied divorce decree • One proof Social Security number: Social Security card, W-2 or 1099 tax form with full name and number • Two proofs of current ad dress: driver license, vehicle registration card, voter registra tion card, cable bill, utility bill or bank statement DMV officials have a few tips for residents preparing to visit the DMV office for their first REAL ID: If your license or ID card ex pires in 2020, plan to renew your license as a REAL ID within six months of your expiration date. Your renewal fee will be the same. If your license or ID card ex pires after 2020, make an appoint ment now to obtain a REAL ID for $13. Once your card expires, you can renew it online. Bring your certified marriage license or court documents if your current name does not match your certified birth certificate or U.S. Passport. Decrease your wait time by scheduling an appointment at (919) 715-7000 for any driver license office. Residents who choose not to get a REAL ID will have a license or ID card noted with ‘ ‘Not for Federal Identification.” Without a REAL ID or U.S. Passport, travelers will have to provide additional identification to board a commercial flight and vi sit federal facilities beginning Oct. 1, 2020. The required identification may vary. Eor more information about REAL ID, including the complete list of verification documents, visit NCREALID.gov.
