The Beaufort Newt (Mt iftt) the Twla City Times (est. 1936) EDITORIAL PAGE FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1948 Trash and Weeds Face an Exit Beaufort's decision to enforce sanitation laws and inaugurate a weed-cutting and clean-up campaign was the most important , one made at the town board meeting Monday night. ; Because the exact cause of polio remains unknown, any pre ' . caution to prevent spread of disease In hot, germ-fertile weather may be a life-saving step. " Property-owners shouldn't have to be told to cut weeds, homeowners and merchants shouldn't have to be told that un-. covered garbage is a menace, heaped in distasteful piles at the rear of homes and places of business. Yet so many people fail to move unless someone gets behind and prods them with a stick. The Jaycees recently cleaned up the waterfront. Now it's '. time that Front Street itself gets a clean face. All summer it's littered with cups and other types of trash. Arm-height trash cans, made especially for use in municipalities, would do more to Clean up Front Street than anything else. Morehead City, too, ' could make use of them. Cleanliness in itself does more for the morale, health and general well-being of a town than half dozen smoothly-function-ing municipal organizations. Town commissioners evidently rea lize this. Some day perhaps town residents will too. The Town's Secret Society Ever hear of the SPMSMC? Most people haven't, but there are indications that the Secret Parking Meter Society of fore head City exists. Their biggest secret is the amount of money collected in the town's parking meters and the next secret is who belongs, But that one is not hard to figure out. ' When the parking meters were first installed, inquiries as to ' ' the amounts collected brought only vague replies from the of ficials in charge. Definitely no figures. One time the iron curtain lifted and out came the figures for one collection. These were published and then things were , clamped shut again. A columnist for this paper recently was told in no uncertain terms that he was to publish no more figures as to the amount collected in the meters, something about the money being saved for a paving project. If this is true, why can't the people who keep feeding meters day after day know about it? A reporter tried Wednesday afternoon again to learn the mount of money collected In the meters and he was told that those figures weren't ready for publication. The parking meters have been in operation a long time. How long does it take to . count money and put It in the bank, hmmm? - As a matter of fact there's been too much stalling and eva siveness all around. If the commissioners or the mayor have or dered that these figures remain secret, why? If they haven't, then who's running things around here? Beaufort's town clerk willingly announces' parking meter collections. In June tbey took in $629.14. Could It be (hat the meter collection in Morehead City are running low, perhaps lower than Beaufort's and that they don't want anybody to know it? Utter childishness! There's undoubtedly a logical answer to the meter question mark. But maybe this too, will be kept secret and nobody will know but the SPMSMC, Ashes. Seeds ol Fire? .J. Thirty years ago today, July 16, 1918, the Russian Czar Nich olas, his Wife, children, and personal attendants were assassinated by Bolshevists at Ekaterinburg, Russia. Their bodies were secret j ly burned. Like the Phoenix, bird of Greek mythology, could it be that Jt.be ishes of an old dictatorship give rise to a new? During a ' - moment of reflection, the past "glories" of Nazi Germany, Fascist ; -Italy, and Shinto-worshipping Japan rush to the fore. Have these dictatorships been crushed or In the remains are there smould- rrlng embers from which will spring new states shot through PIth blood-letting, terror, and suppression? This is a question democratic statesmen face; It's a prob lem ever-present among members of the United Nations who earnestly desirt peace. Able leadership of the United States is vitally necessary how al it was during the war ... choosing our .'next president is not a matter to be taken lightly, as merely a big red, White, and blue circus. . : If a state can rise again from blackened ashes, what more lofty goals can be attained, from an evet-llvlrtg flame, one burn ing with the light of liberty, justice, and equality of opportunity! mm km. ft.

TWO SURPRISES The first surprise is that J. M. Broughton offered the position to Albright you would think there would be at least 100 bright young men closer to the Broughton campaign and the second eyebrow-lifter is that Mayne Albright didn't snap it up the second it was offered . . . or proffered. The answer to the first Is that Broughton needs ' more strength James as assistant to the late J. W. Bailey, was thrown for a loss when W. B.

The man is getting more ad vice than he knows what to do with, and he still hasn't been able to read all his congratulatory mail. Various groups are sending emissaries, to the Scott farm in Alamance. Scott's every footstep is dogged by advisors, schemers, and some well-wishers. Long forgotten friends have renewed acquain tances. Who is closest to Scott? Capus Waynick. Next in line probably is J. M. Broughton. Scott is in the position of being friendly with Ussstead, Broughton, Cherry, the Farm Bureau and the State Grange, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, with a few Episcopali ans' thrown in. They all seem to love him. But Scott is a good lis tener, and so far his visitors have done most of the talking. He's very popular. Reminds one of the words of Old Tom in the "Lost Colony," which is now packing them in on Roanoke Island. As he walks his lonely post, protecting the colonists, he says to hlmseki "... I, who was lately nothing am become somebody." the National Democratic Convention. At THE CONVENTION ' On Sunday around noon, Kerr Scott through his spokesman Everett Jordan let delegates to the con vention know that he was dining with Joe Blythe.for National Com mitteeman. He made it clear that he was not slapping at J. M. Broughton, but merely felt that Blythe should continue in this posi tion in view of the fact that tht Democratic National Committee had given North Carolina's commit teeman the honor. ... though thankless task. . . . of being Na tional Democratic Treasurer. Mr. Broughton, Lon Bolick of Winston-Salem, and Broughton Publicist Robert W. Redwine (for the convention) last week began their efforts to woo delegates away from Blythe. Scott refused to go along. He also pointed out last Sunday afternoon in his hotel room in Philadelphia that he thought North Carolina made a mistake in preventing R. J. Rey nolds, Jr., from being National Committeeman at the time Rey nolds was National Treasurer. Medical Society Members Hear X-Ray Specialist Dr. Paul T. Myers, qualified ex pert in X-ray, discussed X-ray film interpretation at the Carteret County Medical society dinner meeting Monday night at More head City hospital. Dr. Myers is a member of the Memorial General hospital staff, Kinston.

Dr. Morris presided at Monday night's business session.
