Things Are Brighter In Duplin It's too wet to plow. Farming operations are behind schedule, so there has been more time to think and talk. This thinking and talk ing has led farmers to face many grave is sues, perhaps more than they have ever faced k a?nrn DelOic. The Health Service report on tobacco use and the huge surplus of tobacco already in the storage of manufacturers raise problems. Broiler growers are piling up surpluses which if unabated will bring prices even lower and financially sink many producers. Beef Im ports from New Zealand and Australia are unrestrained and compete with our cattle prices.. Cotton growers are up in the air over cotton legislation now pending in Congress. There could be cause for concern. But, an acre of tobacco land is still worth as much as ever. Duplin produced $S6 million in farm products last year, the most ever. Ag ricultural implement sales are booming. Banks still loan to farmers. The picture may be faded a bit. but spring and the end of bad weather will brighten it up with brilliant colors, and this year will see another increase in Duplin farm production. After all, the Jonquils and daffodils are blooming again in Duplin, and these harbing ers of spring mean that in a few short weeks there will be sunshine and green growth and everything will be brighter again. Overselling College A New England educator has come up with sharp and appropriate words for his own profession in overselling the public on a col lege education. Owen B. Kiernan, education commissioner for Massachusetts, said that the education pro fession has sold college education "as if it were the one and only pot of gold at the end of life's rainbow." "In our. eoUmgiasip to climb aboard the collegiate bandwagon and shout the slogan 'A college for everyone, and everyone for col lege.' we have inadvertantly' suggested that those who do not enroll are destined to sec ond class citizenship." It put his finger on the growing miscon ception that higher education should be avail able as a right. Everybody should have a shot at it . If that is the case, then it ceaes to have any meaning. It must be provided on a selec tive basis talent and ability, or else it turns into "lower" education. The education profession would do well to concentrate in getting the individual into the right training or educational bracket for post-high school work. Too much puffing up the idea of going fb college is a disservice to the unqualified student as well as to colleges. The Atlanta Journal. Orisextractopody A speech professor at the University of Denver has urged political candidates in this year to practice orisextractopody, which he defines as the art of keeping one's foot out of one's mouth. It seems to us that orisextractopody ought to mean something a little more unusual, but well let that pass and even grant that profes sor his point. While they're at it, though, we'd like politicians to inoculate themselves against other maladies which, if less frumious, never the less take their toll of the innocent. We'd like to see all persons introducing political speakers required to specialize in brevinonmanwhomitosis, which is the art of making quick, modest, and inoffensive intro ductions, and we'd like all candidates to prom ise to practice monopledgitis, which means making only one promise at a time. While they're at it, they might work on how to prac tice orisextractopody and still say something worth hearing. ? - Charlotte News. SENATOR J SAM ERVIN * XIKT * WASHINGTON - The phrase "civil rights' has many uses, I but as a title for a legislative proposal it can be highly de- I ceptive and a useful slogan to I hair critical analysis of the con- I tents of a bill. H. R. 7152, the I Housepassed civil rights bin, I comes to the Senate attractive- I ly wrapped, but the 55 page, I eleven section measure is in deed a complex proposal that merits thorough study by those that could be most affected, the I American people. Blind ' faith and an unwillingness to go be yond surface slogans is a dan gerous standard for Judging any bill, and particularly one that bears so heavily upon the lives of all Americans. Concern about current civil rights proposals and the dan gers they impose to individual Hborty should be a national concern. In the February issue of the American Bar Associa tion Journal, there is an excel lent article by a New York at torney, Edward F. Cummerford on this subject He says: "In general, nations lose their fioodoni in one of two ways. The first is by violence, either from within or without; bombs, k machineguns. and the like do the job. The second is far more subtle and insidious; this is the slew, gradual process of evolu ax?? ?? ' Aad then he points out: "By stages, freedom is chipped a ,r: way, aad so gradually that few ; are aware of the real meao >Aro gi people in the land give their whole hearted approval. Their inten tions may be of the very best, but of such is the greatest sup erhighway of them all construc ted.' I agree. It is time that thou ghtful citizens should ask per tinent questions about a bill that, if passed, will undoubted ly change the whole fabric of our lives and our government What is involved in the passage of this bill goes far beyood the granting of a govern mentally coerced equality to minorities, a course of doubtful legislative wisdom It involves powers granted to the central govern ment which no American citi aen ought to be forced to give up and which no Federal bu reaucracy ought to have. In fact, it provides the weapon of control that minorities thrmaol I ves, above all, should fear, because the winds of the politi cal hour shift rapidly. Careful study of the bill demonstrates that in section after section in legalistic lan guage there is a blueprint for a shift of power from the in dividual, the businessman, the school board, the local com munity. and the state govern ment to the United States At torney-General. and a vast net work of Federal Departments agencies, and commissions. Questions of a compelling nature arise. How long can personal liberty survive or the free enterprise system work whan the force of the Execu tive, Legislative, and Judicial stops' topuntoh'todfvMiLlH[!d businesses for their attitudes, opinions, and honest convic tions- Can the awesome power sought to be used be trusted when it begins to invade the sacred provinces of the mind and heart? How will the work er, the businessman, the local official, and the average dti xen who feels this power fare when the national direction turns to a governmental probe of reasons for judgments which up to now could be made un trammeled? The provisions of this far reaching bill merit public atten tion. ? ? ?

Traditionally, George Wash ington's Farewell Address is read on the House and Senate Floors by a designated mem ber of each body on the anni versary of his birth, February 23. This custom was established by resolution adopted in 1901, but like many customs and tra ditions, it has become virtually a meaningless gesture. Few Representatives; few Senators and even fewer citizens pay much, if any, attention to the words of George Washington or the implications they have for us today. Time, experience, an4 the evolution of the 12 small Ameri can ooienles into the'mightiest, nation on the face of the globe in a modern world have made many of Washington's theories Bible Facts OfInterest BY : ELLA V. PR1DGEN THE BEES" Solomon was a very wise man. He was not "taken in" even by the wiles of the beauti ful Queen of Sheba. There is an old story about Solomon and the Queen, not found in the Bible, but still quite character istic of the great King. It is said in the legends of the East that the Queen of Sheba once sent Solomon two huge bouquets of roses (for once the woman sent flowers tp the man). One buquet was made up of artificial flowers so clev erly formed and scented that it seemed no one could tell them from the genuine arncle. The other bouquet was the real thing. In her coy way, she de fied the King to tell which was real. Solomon found a way to do it. He simply opened a window and let in a swarm of bees bunting honey in the palace garden. They buzzed into the room, and went at once to the real roses. They knew the dif ference between the real and the artificial. Do you think God can be de ceived in our worship, that he is less intelligent than the bees? Does He not know sincere worship as destinct from the insincere? Do you every try to deceive Him as you pray? Did you ever try to hide anything? Ever put up a false front? Ever pretend? Do you think you ever fool him? -few* : 1 jmk '' V MTMIMT MTH AM mm MM YMTfMVIAU " nnim ruaMtoP.h Ill ?, lm. h?*r Jaaaf StaHa m made aurahal ti the Savtot UbIm ?mil*, IMS.

For example, he warned that poli tical parties would wield an es sentially evil influence in our government, but history has proved that a strong two-par ty system is what makes our Federal Government strong and vital. He advocated that we have "as little political connec tion as possible" with other na tions but isolationism in this century has played a large part in our involvement in two world wars. Being mortal, Washington did not have the gift of prophecy, but he did recognise eternal -truth. Of our Constitution he said, "The basis of our politi cal system is the right of the people to make and alter their constitutions of government. But the constitution which at any time exists, until changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all." Tally-Ho How did human speech be gin? Probably in the cries of primitive hunters when they sighted the quarry, an Ameri can anthropologist suggests. The Solar Wind Blows Not long ago, scientists thought the sun's atmosphere extended only a short distance beyond the visible biasing ball. At a recent conference, how ever, experts agreed that elec trical "winds" blowing from the sun reach well past the Berth and probably affect our weath er. They'll Wait Until Ska b Eighteen FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D. Smith THE WEEK'S LETTER: "I em seventeen years old, will be eight een in September. I met this boy about a month ago and he is nine teen. He is a nice guy and we both love each other. He proposed to me a week ago and he has met my relatives, who think the world of him. Some other people say and think I am too young to get mar ried. We don't think so, but we are going to wait until I reach eighteen. We are not married yet, but he takes me everywhere and anything I need he gets for me. What do you think?" OUR REPLY: You are wise to wait until September. Were you to be married now, you would have two things working against the success of your marriage youth and the fact that you really haven't had time to get to know one another. No one can predict whether a particular marriage will "wort." Many early marriages fail because one or both of the marriage part ners turns out to be unwilling? or limbic to accipt the retpoiuri* i bill ties of married life Some mar , riages fail because they involve "strangers." Both individuals kept "the best foot forward*' during a 1 very short courtship and, when each "relaxes" they began to find out Just how little they know about one another. Ther^ is a "right" time to get Unfortunately, there are thoae who ignore this basic pre cept at our republic. They ad vocate "flexibility" of the Con stitution and "modernization". It is my belief that the Constitu tion can property he changed only by amending it in accord ance with its provisions. Neith er the Supreme Court nor the Congress should attempt to "bend" or 'modernize" it by decree or legislation. [?VI tnfSUiIWfiWflfcft IV?IT From Dorothy Turner, Cincin nati, Ohio: I remember when the canal ran through our city, and the boats were pulled along by mules. I remember when we had open street cars. You could hop on any place to get a seat as they ran very slow. 1 remember when a 9c loaf of bread, 10c worth of baloney and 2c worth of onions could feed an entire family. I remember the opera house as a big and beautiful place?and how the poor people went there during the depression to receive food. I remember the Sunday con certs in Washington Park and how we would take our lunches, stand around or sit at the tables to eat I remember when "shows" cost only a nickel?and the pictures were good, too. And I remember how we used to light over our Crosley radio?as to who would have the earphones next to listen to the "music from the air." My brother was always first. Boy, do I remember!

HARPER much After all tiM ice and snow of om of the wont wintan I we ban nfferod in pom, it ia I food to come to the month which I marks the end of winter and ush I an in the spring.

In March, nearly a hundred yean after the Declaration of In dependence, Andrew Jackson, sev enth President of the United States, was born. He was quite an energetic man in American af fair^ead bwme the ftrst man to I a pillared ???t? of the east Now It seems that only million aires need apply. But thU peer March is gkxifled by a greater than Julius Caesar sad Andrew Jackson. I write "this year" because, as you know, Easter has been called "a change tens* lew iW* . n.^ti f nt AFTER 65, IT WILL BE IAfl? TO SELL IT THAN GIVE IT AWAY rpHIS BUSINESS of what a man A doe* with his talent* after he retire* keeps coming up. From all over. Just what SHOULD a man do with talentsT Talk* with ? cross-section of well-to-do retired men?all with pensions sufficient for their needs ?reveal at least one bizarre an swer; that it's easier to sell talents than to give them away. Three of the men in the survey had, in effect, tied their talents in blue ribbons and dropped them in the bottom drawer of their wives' chiffoniers. They were through. A couple of others were fishing and fooling around, too shy or too con tent to decide how to offer their talents. All the rest were out in the marketplace trying to sell, rent, donate, or barter their tal ents in exchange for something to do. One of these was Robert P. Struckman. "I was in pretty bad shape about six months after I retired," Mr. Struckman said. "I had to get out of the house, to do something. Or both my wife and I would go crazy. "I didn't need money. In fact I really didnt want any because it would involve me in red tape with Social Security, and bring back the fearsome ordeal of income tax forms. But I needed an activ ity. I rather wanted the satisfac tion of practicing my skills. I felt slightly?-and in honesty I must emphasize the slightly?an urge toward do-goodism . . ." Mr. Struckman had been an In dustrial chemist He called on an executive of a cosmetic Ann, and lUted his case. He Mid he didn't want much salary, II any. Cer tainly not over 9100 a month. He just wanted to have a job, get < back into a laboratory and see what he could do. "The fellow looked at me over his specs as though 1 was some kind of nut Or maybe I was a spy for some other cosmetic firm. Or a union man. What was I after?" He was brushed off. Next he tried a paint manufac turer. Executives here were some what more intrigued by Mr. Struckman's offer to work, but also were skeptical. They kept asking him why a man who had been worth 911.000 a year would want to work for 9100 a month? "Honest answers couldn't pacify them. But anyway, I got the Idea ? they thought I'd be a trouble maker and hard to handle if I got into their plant on 9100 a month." He tried two other Arms, with pretty much the same results. "If I had gone into all these places and asked for a job at 99,000 a year," he said, "and agreed to waive insurance and pension bene fits I would have gotten a job, especially at the paint company. But an employer is afraid of a man who is too cheap, or free." But jf you go to the boards of directors of such groups, make a good case for your qualifications and bring some influence to bear on the members, you may get an administrative post at 96,000 or so a year. Or so Mr. Struckman baa concluded. < I AT? GOLDEN YEAXS SS-MS* MM mw ru4rM4 t** tm rata (a* ttaafa), Uncle Pele From Chimin Switch The fellers at tne country store Saturday night was pay ing their respects to a number of items that was in the papers last week. But first off, Ed Doolittle announced he was moving to town, said it was gitting to dangerous to live on a country road. Another feller failed to make the bend in front of Ed's house Wednes day flight and tore up his front yard. It used to be, like the old saying goes, that a feller could live by the side of the road and be a friend to man. Now he has to set some iron posts In front of his house and hope the insurance company don't double his rates. I remember a few years ago. Mister Editor, when two dru nks tore the front porch off Rufe Zinder's house. When the Judge ask'em which one was driving, they shook their heads and said they didn't know fer shore, that the last they recol lecto they was both riding in the back seat. I wouln't doubt it none. We got some of them kind of drivers out on the coun try roads. It could be, if it was investigated, that a heap of this migration from the farms to town is on account of folks is afraid to live along side a country road no more. Zebe Grubb reported be had saw in the papers where Con gressman Passman had dis covered why they was so many revolutions going on all over the world. Him and another Congressman bad checked the figers ana found more neaas ot state and more GuveramenU had been overthrowed since the V. S. started its foreign aid pro gram than in the whole century previous. According to Con gress Passman, afore we start ed giving these countries mil lions of dollars, they wasn't on point to overthrowing the Gov ernment, they still didn't have nothing. But now they was fighting fer millions and it was worth it. It seems to me, Mis ter Editor, that the Congress man has got somepun there, somepun the American people ought to I* thinking about. I Clem Webster was telling the fellers about this famous scien ce feller named Dr. Erick Bau- ? mer announcing that chickens has a language amongst their selves. Clem said this feller re ported be had been studying chickens fer 54 years and they had about 35 sentences cover ing most of the situations that comes up in the barnyard. Par thermore, he claimed this ben language was the same fer chickens all over the world, that a hen in Tokyo could un derstand a hen in Washington. I doubt. Mister Editor, they got any bens in Washington. Hie atmosphere is too rare fer 'em. And if they had any that t could talk, them Congressmen would shore start making 'em pay taxes. Of course, judging from the Bobby Baker investi gation, they got a few chicks around the Capitol. But 1 wont go into that item at this time. Yean truly, Uncle Pete IEMSSWOHD PUZZLE AOBOSS 2.
