4 iJtAGE TWO CARTElET COUNTf NEWS-TIMES, MOREHEAD CTTf AND BEAITORT, N. C (tr Carieret County Hows-Times A Merger Of he Beaufort News (est. 1912) & The Twin City Times (est. 1936) """EDITORIAL PAGE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, IMS A For the Sheriff .. . Charges against the sheriff of Carteret county in the civil suit in which Madix offiicals are defendants, have been dropped. It was embarrassing for all of us to have one of the highest public officials of our county connected with such charges as in timidation, violence, and threatening a resident of the county sp as to make it necessary for him to leave to protect himself and his family. Whether there was any basis for these charges only the courts, in all fairness, could have decided. Nevertheless, for the sake of the sheriff and the integirty of the better citizens of Car tret, we hope that the old adage, "Where there's smoke, there's "Hire," doesn't apply here. Inio the Wild Blue Yonder . . . ' Air Force Day will be observed throughout the nation to morrow. This marks the first anniversary of the Air Force as an au tonomous military unit, completely separate from the Army and Navy. The nation's first military air arm was established only 41 years ago, Aug. 1, 1907, and was then called the aviation sec tion of the Army Signal corps. Since that time air power has bridged the world, swept away horizons, and become an essen- 'itTIT.lial force in the military department of all nations. In America the air force is a volunteer organization compos ed of highly-qualified young men and of research t!.pnrtments that through their untiring labor have made supersonic speed possible, solved polar navigation problems and made other dis coveries, making the United States Air Force second to none. Yesterday was observed as National Guard Day. The Na tional Guard of United States has a long and illustrious history and holds as distinguished a place among our defense forces as the Army, Navy, and Air Force. In setting aside special days for recognition of national mil itary units, the government aims to interest young men and wo men in becoming a part of them, and show all citizens the role jjhese units play in our national life. In war or peace, they are our physical might. Our safety lies in supporting them, morally and otherwise. ON THE LEVEL 1 Turning Over a New Leaf? To the state highway commission: thanks. The reflector signs, 70 R, and 70 with an arrow pointing right which have been placed on the highway just west of the Jeffer son hotel help the motorist tremendously in navigating at night. When we pointed out in an editorial two weeks ago that just '"such signs were needed there, we never expected to get such fast ction. It's a bit late, but maybe the state highway commission is turning over a new leaf. Thoughts for an open mind... If I wish to make the world better, I must Wgin with myself. There is no other starting point. Beware lest your reforming be deforming to those natures you do not know. in making his way through life, a man will find it useful to be ready and able to do two things; to look ahead and to over- j look: the one will protect him from loss and injury, the oth er from disputes and squabbles. No one who lives among men should discard any person who has his due place in the order of nature, even tho he Is wicked or contemptible or ridiculous. Accept him as a fact the necessary outcome of fundamental principle. You have to live amongst men, allow everyone the right to exist In accordance with the character he has, whatever it turns out to be; strive to make use of this character In tuch a way as its kind and nature permit, rather than to condemn it off hand for what it is.
