'?Chinese Proverb. . . ?. ? ? ??? ? ?? Duplin Officials Will Be Chosen The ones who cry the loudest about gov ernment are usually the ones who do not even take the trouble to vote. Every citizen should not only vote, but should inform himself of the election machinery and methods, should even ask himself If he should consider offering, himself as a candidate for office. Maybe we have some person in mind that we think would make a good candidate for office. Then, we should approach him and urge him to seek the office. Such is democracy. Now Is the time. This year in Duplin, we will elect a register of deeds, a Judge and a solicitor for the General County Court, a representative to the General Assembly, a county commissioner to represent Warsaw and Fats on Townships and another to represent Rose HOI, Magnolia and Kenansville Townships, and two members of the board of education. There will be constables and jus tices of the peace. The primary will be May 30th. Now is the time to be considering these offices. A Third District Congressman will be chosen this year, too. Each precinct will hold a precinct meeting at which every registered voter should be pre* sent. At that meeting officers for the precinct will be elected and delegates will be elected to the county convention. The county conven tion elects delegates to the state convention. The state convention elects delegates to the national convention and there the next Pre sident of the United States will be nominated. It all begins in the precinct meeting. We may not be a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City on August 26 or to the Republican National Convention in San Francisco on July 13, but we can attend the precinct meeting at home and have our voice in nominating the delegates who start the ma chinery for naming the nominee for President of the United States. An active , informed and alert electorate will assure able and trustworthy officials. I y Poverty In Prosperity TflE WILMINGTON STAR Pockets of poverty which exist In both the state and nation, even though our country Is In one of its most prolonged periods of peacetime prosperity, rightly concern many people including both our President and our Governor. How to tackle tnese pockets of poverty and how to overcome the seemingly built-in hud-core unemployment that helps to breed thebe unfortunate conditions are two of the taska facing both the nKigb and the state In the year ahead. North Carolina has planned an assault on die problem through its North Carolina Fund which will attempt to break the "cycle of poverty" in our state. There is reason to nope mat this program will at least point the way to better methods of overcoming the problems. At the rational level. President Johnson Is planning to propose new legislation in the next session of Congress aimed at reducing domes tic poverty. His program Is expected to be large and far-reaching but we don't believe It can make appreciate progress unless it deals more with correcting the causes rather than Just doling out handouts In make-do pro grams. Our state and ou nation wtttneed force ful effort and specific- programs for over coming the cycles of poverty ft this most prosperous era of our country. The blight probably cannot be eliminated altogether, but a concerted effort can go a long way toward making significant reductions. Norm Carolina has a good chance to set an example In this endeavor for the rest of the nation. It Tending Fire FROM THE OTTAWA JOURNAL A man who has a fireplace need never be lonely. A fire, correctly tended requires thought and attention; In return, it offers warmth-, music, and beauty. And the glow from the hearth means a glow In the heart. There ire utilitarian souls who assume that a fireplace Is meant only to. warm people. But he who tends a fire knows that it means much more. A man who cherishes his fire wants a deep bed of ashes; he wants a solid backlog of oak or hard maple. A roan who Is fortunate enough to cut his own wood and has a choice, sees to it that he has several kinds. The resin of pine or cedar means quick, hot heat, yellow names, and a pies ant odor; yellow birch gives an orange-veilow flame; burns long and steady; old apple wood'means fragrance and a clear bluish flame. Elm has deep russet flames and when the wood has been sacrificed, the log is a pattern of white ash in squares and rectangles. Balsam and spruce crackle and spit and must be watched. Don't poke your fire too much, but use judgment as you put on the logs. A moder ately high fire creates its own draft. A good hearth tender uses his broom occa sionally, but doesn't worry if a few ashes spill out. Tending fire is for the patient man ..It fosters aeep thoughts and a contentment with the simple basic things in life. It is good to read that home owners are again asking for fireplaces. Mechanical heat has its good points and pne wants it. But somehow, a home is more meaningful if flames paint a picture in a fireplace and a man has a chance to tend his fire. On Huffing, Puffing And Health THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER In case any of oar tobacco industry peo ple were getting concerned about publicity sur rounding the disputed smoklng-cancer link, the Agriculture Department made an announcement that should let them breathe easier. In 1863, according to the department Ameri . cans smoked 523 billion cigarets, almost 3 per cent more than in 1962. A report an smoking habits and the inci dence of cancer, being prepared by the Pre | aidant's Advisory Committee on Smoking and f, Health, is due this month. Most people pre dict that it will be the most positive 'indict ment yet of cigarette smoking. Bat it may be anti-climatic, coming as it does an the heels of the American Cancer Society's shocker of early December. Obser ..vers who have seen such studies come and go Cfiedict that some scared people will swear off momentarily, then start lighting up again. Smoking has inereasedfor seven years, roughly pa rallellng the period which produced the warn The king-sized and the short of it Is sim ply that people get hooked-by "tobaccoism" and don't see an immediate enough reason to get unhooked. Sweden has a government-sponsored clinic to cure tobacco addicts. But 50 per cent of those cured were reported backsliding. The man who has run the Swedish clinic since 1956, Or. Borje Ejrup, now is advising the N?w York City Health Dept. He said last month, "There is such a great need that every big city iiutte world should have a tobacco withdrawal clinic. Some Seventh Day Adventists In this country have been conducting' Five Day Plan Crash Clinics." One of the tools used in these clinics is a drug called Lobeline, which re acts in the body like nicotine and dulls the tobacco hunger. But past experience still casta doubt over such gimmicks. If the "patients" don't pet hooked on Lobeline, chances are that most will be puffing away at some time in the .future. High Price For Fireworks Law R H i SKfc Sooth Carolina legislators arc terribly slow I'M Warn about shoe things. Time after time events hve proven the state's exis BfnO| law an fireworks to be as bad as no law ^jplve people are dead tn North Charlos | ton. 14 Injured and a store demolished, tragic jhrM of the naad for a total, or near total, ?Mjp fireworks. The shattered store la on# ^^?rt distance from the city limits of ?leston, whlcb has a local ordinance banning Will five graves stir the General Assem bly of 1964- to enact a ban? It is by no means a certainty. In 1966 a booming explosion of fireworks wrecked a Laurens Ice cream store, damaged an auto and ahattered windows far away. Five years ago a similar explosion Injured a youth and literally tore his station wagon to pieces. Over the years, eyes, hands and faces have been injured throughout the state. The current law. such as it Is, is vir tually Impossible to enforce. Policemen must "HE WONT HAVE ANY PICNIC ON US!" be ordnance experts to determine wmcn pyro technics are permissible and which are llle fal. Those which are permitted-roman can les, bottle-type rockets, cylindrical foun tains, cone.fountains, wheels, illumination - tourches and colored fire, sparklers and fire crackers of certain sizes-pack enough punch to jeopardize life and limb. Each item has a legal limit on the num ber of grams of explosive mixture it may contain, which puts police in the slide rule business, but there is nothing to prevent a city from using an atomic bomb in a public display if it wanted to and could get one,. Many bills have been Introduced to stop the maiming and the slaughter. Last year Sens. Bradley Morrah of Greenville, and Cecil Grimes o Georgetown Introduced legis lation to ban everything except sparklers and caps for toy pistols, . The bill passed the Senate, but House members surrenaeredtothe pressures of the lobbyists and buried the bill In a sub-committee, wnere it still lies. It will be Interesting to see what the fire works lobby has to say about North Charles ton this year; what ever it Is we hope this General Assembly won't listen. ? A SENATOR SAM ERVIN ? SAYS * WASHINGTON?The enor mous burdens of the Presidency and the current vacancy in the office of Vice President have focused attention again on the problem of Presidential sue- ' cession, j Prior to 1947 members of the Cabinet were next in line of succession after the vice Pre sident. That method enacted in to law in 1386 started the or der of succession with the Se cretary of State and went through the individual members of the Cabinet. Justification for that approach was that it was the best way to achieve con tinuity in government. Propo nents argued that the vacancy ought to be filled by a cab inet member having similar political views to those of the President. In 1947 the "cabinet method" was changed by an Act of Con gress which designated the Speaker of the House of Re presentatives to act as Pre sident in the event of "death, resignation, removal from of fice, inability, or failure to qualify" where there is pel ther a President or Vice Pre sident "to discharge the pow ers and duties ot the ottlceof President.',' This change came about largely as a result of the recommendation of President : Truman who felt that Congress 1 ought to put an elected offi cii! as next ln> ctte line of succession rather: than continue the old system of succession by appoint lvecabnet members. Although l think that the 1947 law now governing the order of succession was a move in the right direction, this seemed to me that Congress could devise a better system than either the old or the present method. The weakness of the present system is that for all practi cal purposes it restricts the choice to the members of the Houe of Representatives and permits only House members to vote for Ms election. TMs Is true, except in the most unlikely circumstances, be cause the House votes for tie Speaker of the House, and if he should become President then it would choose a new Speaker who would again be next in the line of Presidential suc cession. Moreover, a judgment on who would make the best Speaker of the House of Re 1 11 11 1 ????l preservatives might differ from a judgment on wno would make the best Presidential suc cessor. 1 favor aJiew system which would be bi$ed upon the pro- { mise that Congress s hould choose the* best man for the office of President at the pre cise time when the potential need for succession takes place This could be done by a sta tutory law allowing the entire Congress to elect the succes sor either by a joint-ballot of all senators and Represen tatives, or by a joint-ballot granting each state's represen tation one vote, or by allowing the House to nominate the candidate for this position and the Senate to confirm the nom inee. The person so elected should be designated as the Act ing Vice President and would have all the powers and emolu ments of that office. Since this is a matter of con cern to the country, I a m hope ful that I can put my thoughts into .a bill during the Congres sional recess, and introduce such a measure for the con sideration of the Congress. nIWMEU'; Yea I remember of my family finally moving to the Cripple Creek District in Colorado, for my mother's health. Yes I remember of later on, singing there in the saloons. I remember a young man would come up from Colorado Springs, once in a while and join us, his name Lon Chaney. Yes I remember of meeting the Western Padfic train at the Oak land Depot, to meet my girl friend, Friday, April 11th, 1913. 1 remember a sharp eyed news man, directing me out of the hall of records to the court house. On this April 11th we celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. They have been most happy years. Sleep has never taken over until some misunderstanding, had been forgiven. We took the most precious Vow, 'Until Death Do us Part' and how could you brush that aside. Love, understanding, a willing ness to be guided and devotion, should bring you out, with lots of friends and happy remembrances. Truck Crops Under Contract FROM GOLDSBORO NEWS ARGUS More progress has been made in restoring truck crops to a place of importance in North Carolina farm picture than we had realized. There is a great increase in the number of acres of crops being signed from yar to year , to be grown under contract. The great and once economic ally Important truck crop re gons of Eastern North Caro la are in front of this new trend in growing crops under contract. Total acreage for contract growing now Is more than four times what it was a few years ago. From 1949 to 1968 total acreage was 18.700. From 1959 to 1963 the total was 49,166. What is coatract growing? It is a system under which a processor of products or Ms agent agrees to boy stipulated crops such as beans, corn and tomatoes and cucumbers from the farmer at a stated price and stated qualtty. The guess work is thus re moved from truck crop pro duction. The farmer is pro tected from the below cost - price which often occurs on the truck markets on days when the fresh vegetable supply exceeds the demand. Of course, the farmer also surrenders the right to sell on days When the price is at top peak unless he grows additional acreage to behold ?J^fre^*rket" I wiilcli good farmers can make money on and they are abso lutely protected against theloss of money if they fulfil their part of the contract. Contract growing, naturally, works for ami demands quality. The best and longest example of contract crop growing is in cucumbers. And another 8,000 acres of cucumbers can be con tracted for by pickle manufac turers is farmers are interes ted for this year. Once the contract growing of truck crops has become so well established that it is consider ed the general practice, it will be a natural step toward the establishment of other process ing plants-canning, drying, freezing. Juicing. Eastern Nortn Carolina can be expected to be come a vegetable processing center such as has long opera ted in New Jersey and other states. The future is purchased by the present.

Wis doms source in God is found | in the role of God as creator , and substainer of the Universe. | There is no true wisdom without a spiritual vision. Reverence | for God gives die highest goals , to man's use of his mind, his i thoughts must not be used tost- i tain or Justify his own selfish ends, but must be used in the understanding and doing of the will of God. The closer we get to God the more we under stand his perspective of things. This makes us wiser (Jesus is the only true and wise guide.) True wisdom is composed of both faith and reason. True wis dom is a gift of the Spirit of God. Only God understands ev erything perfectly; therefore, only God has perfect wisdom. The Book of Jobls the story of a man's quest for wisdom. (Dif ference between knowledge and wisdom). The huge sums of money spent in educational enterprises Sre examples of man's search for wisdom. In spite of our massive ef forts in behalf of education, there is a wide spread of un easiness about our results, we might suggest that the wisdom . literature of the Old Testament provide the clue to our defi ciency. Job. Proverbs, and Eccles lates are the Wisdom Books of the old Testament. ! flM ?

And one of the smaller boys said to me afterward. 'Henry, did you notice how when a fellow gets in great trouble he calls upon God? When Roy tried to crawl away, he said, "O God." Years afterward, when the for tunes of life brought Roy and me to live in the tame city, I re called to him the mishap of his boyhood Soon afterward, he as an official of one of our bank* asked to make the opening prayer ?t a bankers' convention to be leld in the city. Later he told ae that he had thought of telling of the incident I have related when he presented me. But he teamed to think it might not have been the thing to do to remind the men that they needed prayer. But I assured him that it would have I been a fitting thing. Uncle Pete From Chifflin Switch SAYS dear mister e The fellers at the country store Saturday night was dis cussing everthing from Vietnam to the Congress and from for eign aid to wimmen. They was a little confusion on some items, fer Instant Zeke Grubb argued Vietnam was in South America and nobody claimed to know nothing about wimmen. But, general speaking, the fellers was overflowing witn wisdom on all matters. First off, Ed Doolittlesaldhe wanted to pay his respects to them noble Congressmen on the matter of trying to git their wages raised $10,000 a year. Ed allowed as how ever Congress man in Washington knowed? when he was beating the bushes fer votes two years ago exact what the wage scale was f<rthe Job. He was of the opinion that any Congressman that had any respect Ter hisself or his con stituents would wait till after the general election in November afore voting hisself a fat hike in pay. Ed figaered a Congress man had outfit to come home and tell the voters he was go ing to support a bill fer more pay and then let the people give him the raise if he was elected. That made sense to all the fel lers and it was so voted. Zeke brung up the matter of foreign aid again. It has got to the place where Zeke gits so mad about this foreign aid busi ness his old lady has to put a ice bag on hs head ever time he picks up the morning paper. Zeke said maybe Vietnam IDITOR: wasn't in South America like he argued, admitted it might be in Africa like the other fellers claimed, but he allowed as how his geography was right on the beam when it comes to foreign aid. He was quoting from a speech by congressman Otto Passman of Louisiana where theGuvern ment agency that holds the old money dox fer foreign aid clo sed out the phlscal year with nearly 8 billion dollars in un spent funds. Farthermore, Zeke said Congressman Passman re ported that more' n a billion dol lars of that money wasn't even earmarked or obligated fer nothing, was Just laying there idle to be grabbed off by the first country that come along and put up the porest mouth. Clem Webster announced the only aid program he. was hackl ing in the next election was this Federal aid to education bilL He said he had wrote a letter to his Congressman promising his support fer this bill if they would use all the money fer teaching arithmetic in Wash ington. Personal Mister Editor, I don't think they was much we can do about money, slow but certain this item nas got the human race in a squeeze. The Bible says it's hard fer a rich man to enter Heaven and it's gittlng harder and harder fer a pore man to remain on earth.
