THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Few things are needed to make the wise man happy, but nothing satisfies the fool; - and this is the reasoi: why so many of man kind are miserable. ? Rochefoucald. Happy Birthday To Wallace Wallace la the biggest and busiest of towns of Duplin County. At the end of this weak Wallace is staging a great celebration to observe its 79th anniversary. Thursday night is "recognition night." A Dinner honoring those who have served ea the town board over the years win be addressed by Agriculture Commissioner L. Y. BaBentine. This is unusual. Past alder man will be asked to stand up and take a bow. Weil deserved is such a salute. Mem bers of a twon board more often than not are not given the credit they should have. Too many times they have to take pressure, and even cussings from the people they serve. But do not overtook the fact that the spirit of progress of a town depend in great measure upon the leadership of its alder Friday afternoon there will be a big parade. We hope Goidsboro and Wayne have floats in this parade as a salute to our Dup lin cousins. At the end of the parade Charles Murphy will make the address of the obser vance. He is a native of Wallace who has held high government responsibilities in "little Cabinets" for years. He will be re membered as a speech writer for President Truman. Currently he is serving as assistant U. S. secretary of agriculture. Wallace historians through the Cross roads Playhouse, a local little theatre group, wiU present a pageant recounting the his tory of Wallace. There will be fun and en tertainment during evenings of the celebra tion. Yon Wayne cousins make a date to Join your DupUn cousins in the happy event. The 75 th birthday is a good time to take stock and look to the future. The leaders of Wallace have a go - forward push about them that is suggestive to the spirit of the men of the Piedmont section of our state. They can get together, stay together, work together, and cooperate in splendid degree. Wallace has the one large industrial plant in the rural county of Duplin. Produc tion record of the plant, Stevens Textiles, is a favorable one and proves how wrong are thoee who see the farm folks of Eastern North Carolina as slow to take to machintf operations. Wallace has its own fine community air port. Flying executives put down on the port several times each month. The Wallace industrial start is certain to attract greater growth. And Wallace business men can be counted on to develop new enterpriaes on their own. We hope a strawberry freeling and Juicing enterprise of large proportions is not far off for the town. Wallace once was the biggest strawberry market in the world. Likewise Wallace should lead in development of a vegetable processing operation. Its auc tion truck market once was ? great one. Wallace has built its foundations. Now it is in a position to Construct a larger, fuller life, serving all of southern Duplin on the foundations. Good luck and best wishes, people of Wallace ? Goldsboro News Argus Courage To Face The Future If North Carolinians have proved any thing in their history, they have proved that they have the courage to go out and face the future and to grasp the opportunities of that future. We have made a good start up the edu cation ladder. But we cannot afford to stop half way up that ladder. There are too many rungs yet to be climbed. There is too much ignorance yet to be overcome. There is too much poverty yet to be There are too many opportunities yet to be seised. North Carolinians faced this isssue of education when they reopened the Univer sity after the Civil War. North Carolinian* faced this issue with Ay cock at the start of this Century. North Carolinians faced this issue when we determined to keep our schools open during the dark days of the Depression. We faced the issue again in recent years. And we assuredly face it today. North Carolina* have spoken out loud and clear everytime this question of educa tion. They have had the good sense to in vest in education. I am absolutely confident that North Carolinians intend to keep on improving the schools for our sons and daughters this year, next year and in the years ahead. ?Address by Governor Terry Sanford at Lexington. San ford: Public Servant Cum Laude With all the talk about politics these days k mm odd that almost nothing at all is said about the future of the state's leading Governor Stanford, when asked about Ms plana had said, casually, that when he gets through being governor he's going hack to fst caught up on his law practice; a pleas aatty natural idea but hardly either a re '^aasMe or tolerable one tar one of the beat poveiumi North Carolina has ever had. Iho press lot his statement alone: ob viously the governor did have his ideas and. abvisusly was imitating the Tarbaby's wise behavior in saying nothing. All very well, but be can hanky expect that the folks? and they are many?who have watched with growing admiration and satisfaction, not to say excitement, the mounting list of accom plishments and the over-widening horison of laeford's aims tor the betterment of the people of Oris state, will be equally reticent. High among those aims, and with already several accomplishments to be Bet ad.

He is a capable man, this governor; he is courageous and hardhitting. He knows his state, backward as well as forward, and he knows what it needs. The Governor's School is indood but a small facet in the plans to forward the cause of education. They in clude the establishment of community col leges, such as the ooe to be built here in Moore County; schools for adults, the illiter ates of whom this state has its shameful number; they include a School of the Arts, to cultivate the burgeoning talents of the coining generation. There win be Job-train ing centers and a work-training program. Sanford wants better colleges tor our teachers; he has called for the setting up of community committees to study their local problems of school dropouts, Juvenile delinquency, recreation needs for the leas It is In response to Governor Sanford's suggestion that Negro youth try to think up mate positive projects than street demon stratioas that they have started a serious TV program explaining the views of Negro cltlians. Just last week the Governor an nounced the formation of the North Carolina Volunteers, composed of college students chosen to do volunteer work, similar to foe Peace Corps and the Quaker work camps, in needy communities. Said Sanford: "This project, supported by the North Carolina ftond, should greatly accelerate ear war en N Poverty, ignorance, mails, crime: each Is a challenge end each interlocks with the cenuts, with ^ ^ to Mp Mm do Ike Job.

Uncle Pete From Chittlin Switch DEAR MISTER EDITOR: I was reading in the papers here a while back where a fel ler named H. L. Taylor that is in the Kentucky legislature put a bill in the hopper to make all doctors write their prescriptions in plain English so's the patient would kaow what he was fitting and what he was taking. I don't know how he come out with his bill but it would n't do no good. Man and boy, I ain't never saw a doctor's prescription that could be de ciphered by a computing ma chine. I remember back dur ing the war gitting a prescrip tion from my doctor and taking it by the country store afore I had it filled. Some of the fel lers figgered it was wrote in English some said it was in Greek, some claimed it was l^itin, and Clem Webster, that rinished the 8th grade and is our outstanding scholar, allow ed as how it was in all three tongues. And you probable recollect about the feller that went to Ma doctor fer a checkup and the doctor give him a prescrip tion. He put it in hia card-case and forgot to have k filled. Ever morning fer two year he showed it to the driver fer a bus past to work. Twict it got him in the picture show, onct in the baaeball pork, and onct in to a high school foot ball game. He got a raise at the factory where he was work ing by showing it as a note from the boas to the feller that kept the books. One day he fergot and left it on the mantle piece at home and his daughter picked it up and play ed it on the piano and won a scholarship with it to some music college. They ain't nobody. Mister Editor, but a druggist that can read a doctor's prescription, no matter what language it is wrote in. and that felier was trying to do the un-do-able with his bill in the legislature. And speaking of the un-do able. the fellers at the country store Saturday night was sit ting diacouraged about ever having peace In the world in our times. People everwhere is having revolutions, upris ings, and little wars. It looks like the human race can't git along without fighting. Per in stant. Ed Doolitle said he had saw a piece in the papers where a war veteran died a couple months ago and the Guvernment sent his tomb stone. His kinfolks got in a conference over the proper way to erect it. Some wanted to put it on a cement base and some wanted to set it up aa is. They got a throwing rocks and somebody pulled a knife and several of the kinfolks was now in the hospital. The Judge fined 'em fer disturbing the peace and suggested they set the stone up as is, but the kinfolks allowed as how they would have to hold another conference on the matter. See what I mean.

SENATOR SAM IRVIN * SAYS * The General got a farewell, warmer breezes brought out the traditional cherry blos soms, and the so-called civil rights bill got a closer exami nation about its problems last week in the Capital. The Nation said "goodbye" to one of its military heroes as General of the Armies Dou glas MacArthur received high est honors in final rites con ducted in the Capitol Rotunda prior to burial in the MacAr thur Memorial in Norfolk. The inscription over his last rest ing place recalls a memorable life: "In twenty campaigns, on a hundred battlefields, a round a thousand campflres, in long years of peace as well as war - - a soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty." ? ? ? Snow that covered Washing ton a few days ago was forgot ten as thousands jammed the Tidal Basin to view spring's most spectacular show of flow ering trees in the annual Na tional Cherry Blossom Festi val. The Senate, engaged in the crucial struggle over the so called civil rights bill, found new indications that the coun try is increasingly concerned over the measure's drastic pro visions. In Wisconsin and in other regions of the country there were samplings of opin ion that cannot be shrugged off as the feelings of bigots and racists. What has been offered as a panacea to lessen the tensions that have grown in racial mat ters is now found to be bring ing more tension rather than less. Even some proponents of the measure concede that many of the problems invol ved cannot be solved by new legislation if we are to pre serve democratic principles. As the Senate has delved more and mere into the bill, it has become clear that there are countless terms and provi sions which are so vague that they would, if uncorrected, present roost serious problems to both citizens and the courts. The fight actually involves a disguised effort to grant to Federal government compul sory powers to veto millions of choices which must be made in private lives, private busi nass^ md ^private property. On the delicate field of human choice and opinion, its efforts have invariably failed and often only lessened respect for law and order. Public opinion is beginning to say in clearer tones that this bill contains far more compulsion, regimentation, and police-state provisions than can be tolerated under our system of governoment. Concerned lawmakers'have all along poin ted out that real progress in human relations has its source in the hearts of individuals and not in compulsory laws. After all is said, the home, the school, and the community must deal first-hand with the lives of individuals as they find them and not on a theore tical basis, and most individ uals when they find out what is in the proposed legislation are not convinced that outsid ers ought to be given powers over the mind and heart. amh root perhaps to the average man men * tion of the fourth month of the year always brings to mind the words April Foot And the words may bring to mind the times one was induced to believe some pre posterous thing and then aaked, "Do you know that this is the first day of April?" On my calendar the first day of April is marked as All Fool's Day, which must be the proper desig nation of the day I have known as April Fool's Day. And this may suggest that persons who are too credulous are devoid of wisdom. 1 wish I could tell you of the origin Of the day when too credu lous individuals are assured of their lack of gray matter, but 1 cannot. So I shall not try to set a research that would take your time and mine. But I do know that King Solomon wrote of a cer tain type of young man who was void of understanding, and about three thousand years ago the Psalmist wrote "The fool hath said in his heart there is no God." And it was the philosophers on Mars Hill in Athens whom Paul found were concerned to learn and tell some new thing had erected an altar to the Unknown God. So we conclude that both the man who has said in his heart, "There is no God" and they who erect an altar to an unknown God, must have qualified to be included in an Bible Facts Of Interest BY : ELLA V. PR1DGEN A Deatre to Understand Life Each generation that lived on the earth hai asked questions concerning Ufe. A desire to understand life has sent men searching in many (ttercthms. Wise men have sou ght to gather the experience of ages, precepts to pass on their own generation in the hope that the wisdom of the past may save them from mistakes and suffering of those who have gone before. A truly wise man is one who has a clear vision of things, es pecially of the great truths of life, beginning with his relation to God. (1 Cor: 1-18) Paul says "the Wisdom of the world is foolish ness with God." For it is writ ten; "He taketh the wise in their own craftinness". worldly wisdom says the moat | important thing is a man's body. True wisdom says it is his spirit; we need the wisdom of God who sees our life as a whole and can direct our paths. The prophets of old and our modern prophets do not con fuse facts, which may be true today and false tomorrow, with truth, which remains open to new facts that appear. Lent for eternal truth, they go to its source which is God. (Matthew 10:28) The Son of man came not to be ministered unto but lent to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. i ? i BY LINDA NORBIS I Ike 'em or not, the Beetles ' have become the biggest thing in pop music since Elvis Presley turned up with his sideburns s decade ago . . .

Early in its third week of release it passed the million mark in sales, a fact which is at this writing being certified in an audit by the Record Industry Associa tion of America. Capitol issued its album Meet the Beatles on Jan. 20 ... By Jan. 27, it had passed 400,000 in sales . . . The LP, too, appeared on the charts after a week on the market ... As far as can be determined, nobody, not even Presley, has achieved such rapid volume with a single or an LP ... It should be noted here that all this happened without the group ever having set foot in the U.S That was reme died Feb. 7 when they arrived in New York and taped their first of three appearances on the B4 Sullivan TV show. Tickets for their appearances at Carnegie Hall and In Miami and Washington were at a premium ...

What's more, a Beatles movie, as yet untitled and without a finished script (!) will begin shooting this month in England . . . Who knoWs where it will all end?

HOW A WIFE CAN BE DEPRIVED OF A HUSBAND'S INSURANCE iirnat xouowa Here wui disturb " some older people, and anger others. Many will believe it is not true. It is true, and since it deals with one of the most vital assets of retired people?life insurance?it should be said. A short time ago a 61-year-old wife and her 63-year-old husband came upon difficult times with each other. A personal issue started it, the one thing led to another. Bitterness came. There was no thought of di vorce, or even separation. They Just mutually agreed they would hereafter have no more to do with each other, beyond what an ex istence under the same roof would require. The husband's life insurance was substantial, about $28,000. It was paid-up. All the policies named the wife as beneficiary. The wife, looking to her own se curity and expecting no reconcili ation with her husband, quietly took the policies from her hus band's desk and hid them. When the husband discovered this he laughed at her. He said he could report to the insurance com pany that the policies had been stolen, could request duplicate policies, and on them change the beneficiary as he saw fit. Or cash the policies in. The wife laughed back dnd dared him to try it That's where the matter stands now. And it will come as a shock to many wives to learn that the husband is right The policies the has hidden are worthless, if the husband chooses to make them so. The authority for this comes from the Institute of Life Insur ance, which represents many of the country's largest life insur ance companies. Husbands taking out life insur ance policies own those policies, pure and simple. They usually name their wives as beneficiaries, the Institute says. But they usual ly have in the policies a provision giving them the right to change the beneficiary any time they choose. Most husbands, expecting no trouble, seldom give this pro vision a second thought. But if trouble comes and the wife grabs the policies and hides them, "the husband can go to the insurance company, obtain dupli cate policies, and name whatever other beneficiary he would like to replace his wife. "The wife does not have any rightful claim to the benefits of the policies, for the husband has remained the owner . . The Institute pointed out that in these cases, great sympathy might sometimes accrue to the wife, and that this sympathy might be reflected in a court decision if the wife sued. But if the wife used "such stratagems as appealing to the company and waving the poll des in its face and saying SHE is the benefidary?assuming the husband has, as in most cases, kept the policy on a revokable basis? the company could be sued by the husband, the insured, if it dared to refuse a request to change the benefidary, or cash it In, or any thing else he wanted to do with the policy. "The wife does not have a leg to stand on, legally speaking!" GOLDEN TEAM M im knkM M* mq. M M4 la Mia (mm atempa), tj?
