PAGE TWO CARTERET COUNTY NEWf-TWEf, HORE2AD CITT ASP BEAUFORT, C ft Garlerel Counly News-Times a Af kthe Beaufort Newt (est. 1912) ) The Twin City Times (est. 1936) Editorial page FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1941 pligion in Today's World j:" Religious history will be made sit Amsterdam, Holbnd, this iljpiunday, the opening day of the First Assembly of the World I aCcuneil of Churches. Delegates from 150 Protestant and Ortho j Sdox churches in 40 nations will meet to complete an organiza sGtion Jsegun 10 years ago and interrupted by Wdrld War II. M This assembly is, so to speak, the United Nations of the re .Jigwus ivorld. It will take stands on social and international jgjissues and attempt to make clear in the varied confusions of Sthese days the Christian approach to world peace and to the jZrPolitical and economic ills tht afflict mankind. As the clerical and lay delegates from every continent on ,rthe globe gather for the first plenary session Sunday morning in Amsterdam's Coacertgebouw (concert hall), church bells in ' countries throughout the world will sound and special prayers will be said for the success of the greatest effort in modern times 'to achieve a rebirth of Christian faith. ,. It will be 10 a m. our time when the session begins. All ,' along the Atlantic seaboard church bells will ring out and caril lons will play "The Day Has Come" with the words by Henry "'Wadsworth Longfellow "I thought how, as the day had come The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men." As the sun travels westward across our continent, the bells I of other churches will pick up the refrain as clocks strike 10. Churches on the Pacific coast and in Alaska will be the last to join in the poalini; of the bells. In each time lone, chimes, hells, and carillons will toll every hour on the hour from 9 a.m. to iii 6 p.m. Six delegates from North Carolina sailed Aug. 6 and 13 from New York City with other American delegates on the Queen Elizabeth and the Nleuw Amsterdam. Others have flown across the Atlantic. "Man's Disorder and God's Design" is the theme of this as sembly, the provisional organization of which was formed in 1938 at the Utrecht conference. This year's meeting was originally announced for 1941 but was postopned because of the war. Exerting every effort to achieve worldwide Christian unity, the World Council of Churches extended invitations to the Ro man Catholic and Russian Orthodox churches as well as Protestant and Orthodox denominations. The Roman Catholic church in ac cord with its long-standing policy, declined to participate official ly but is sending an observer. The Russian church declined, but church representatives from six countries in the Russian orbit, Poland, Finland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugo slavia will at trad.

PEER ELFPTIQNS The hot lest thing going now is the beer vote which is now scheduled in 13 counties for late August and early September the last beer elections which can be held this year under the law prohibiting such balloting within fiO days of e.ny other election. NEW TYPE A new type of bootlegger is flourishing in several N. C. counties. He's the fellow who's selling beer at 40 and 50 cents per bottle or can in the four eounties that have outlawed beer in local-option elections this year. Reports from Robeson, Bla den, Pender and Graham counties ssy beer can e?sily be purchased in this arid area, for a stiff price; and it is a known fact that legiti mate beer outlets on the border in counties adjoining these have doubled and even quadrupled their sales since the four drove beer underground. This is no reflection on the legi timate retailers, necessarily, be cause when they sell a c?se of beer to a passing motorist they are not supposed to know or be concerned with its ultimate desti nation. However, in many cases certain customers are buying it for resale, at a handsome profit, the neighboring dry county. Smile a While Lem, dim-witted chap, lived in a smel town and had no means of support so the "boys" gdt together and decided to chip in 50 cents and create a job for him. They ! then apofinted a paymaster. . j There was an old brass cannon in the town square and Lem's job was to polish this cannon every day, rain or shine. At the end of the week the paymaster would turn over $7 to him. Xcm worked with great zeal for about three months, polishing and polishing. Then one Saturday night he approached the paymast er with s gleeful gleam in his eye. Tm quittin' this here job," Lem announced. "What's the matter?" the pay master asked. Aren't you satis fied with the work and pay?" "Oh yes," Lem replied. "But I've beeh savin' my money. I'm goin' into business for myself. Yes terday I bought a cannon of my own!" Sunshine Magazine RUSStXL'S CREEK jjound up 'tt Language barriers will be overcome by the use of headphones over which translations will come in English, French, and German. This first assembly is a physical manifestation of the Chris tian creed of world brotherhood. The decisions, the program, the plans made there will be designed to transpose this theme into active goodwill and cooperation throughout the world. Our prayers and sincere efforts to practice brotherhood will JT make more probable the peace we still dream of. In The Good Old Days By r.ula Nixon Greenwood NOTKS Republicans are hy ing pliins to attack the State's ii gid auto inspection law, partieuhr ly in counties where this program is still extremely unpopular. . . . A shakeup in the Journalism De partment at the Chapel Hill unit of the Greater University of North Carolina is now being seriously considered ... and nwy occur this fall. Rumor has it that some of the administration of f icials t want the department, and use the paper for practical training of journalism students. . . .

SPEECH-WRITERS The opin ion around Capitol Hill last week was that Capus Waynick and Char lie Parker will emerge as the of ficial ghost-writers for important Kerr Scott speeches next year. A Governor seldom has time to dig down into deep research for a po licy address, with adequate figures to support it, and Governor R. Gregg Cherry had the fine assist ance of Lloyd Griffin of the N. C. Citizens Assocation in his address es on heavy fiscal matters. Sec retary John Harden helped his boss with proclamations for the various days and weeks, and also used his long training in newspa per writing to make the Cherry speech lucid and to the point. Many a midnight hour found Secretary Harden writing or smoothing out a Gregg Cherry address. Some of these were changed here and there-: Dy tne Governor just as bcott T will make alterations in the wri-1 ? tings prepared for him by his I j speech-writers. ' f Of f the cur F Harry S. Tru man, titular head of the Demo cratic Party, was conspicuous by his absence at the meeting held here last Friday night by the De mocratic Executive Committee. In all the clittering and clattering, the handshakes and forced smiles, one Harry S. Truman's name was never mentioned not once. Thev are hoping and praying around Raleigh that the Supreme Court will let the States Rights (Dixiecrats) boys get on the ticket in November, the feeling being that neither rf the Dixiecrat candi dates is trying to hurt ... or wants to hurt ... the State Demo cratic Party ... On the contrary, it is argued, their main goal is to strengthen the party in the vari ous states. The Democrats con tacted feel this way about it: If the Supreme Court does not make it so that the disgruntled mem bers of the party can vote for someboSy in the Democratic Par ty besides Truman, these dissen ters may not vote at all and thus place the Democratic candidates in the State in a precarious posi tion. Any complaints in your neck of the woods about patrolmen doing, too much work at night and not enough in the daytime? The cri tics, the loyal1 and honorable op position, will have a big say-so in the next Legislature, and a lot of them were here last week when Capus Waynick went in as the new Democratic Executive Committee Chairman. Watch for the State Higbwgv. Patrol to receive its share of the brick-bats come January. ... for some of the critics are of HEADACHES Main argu ment of the beer industry is the advantage of legal conlroj over beer-bootlegging. Many a dry in the beer-dry counties agrees with this idea as witness the fact that the Chamber of Commerce, the Jaycces and the' Exchange Club in ("'pvetteville where a vote is sche duled have come cut in favor of keeping legal control of beer. Al so, these clubs, individuals and organizations want to see Cumber land County share in thp Stjte collected beer tax, which may amount to as much as $7,000,000 this year . . . and to continue get ting in loca) beer license taxes.
