A Change is in Order
The population within the limits of Morehead City has
grown considerably during the past several years, yet More
head remains as one precinct. Although there is no undue
mobbing at the polls or standing in line to vote, some consid
eration should be given in the very near future to dividing
- Morehead into two wards if this is permissible under election
regulations.
Such a division, if done on an east and .west basis, would
make the polls more accessible to persons living in the extreme
western section of town who now come all the way in to 8th street
to the municipal building to vote.
A secondary matter to most of us, yet important to the bak
lot counters, is that splitting of the total number of votes, now
cast in one place would mean the end of midnight tabulating on
election nights in the town hall.
Speaking of changes in the election routine, we would like
to know also why ballot boxes have holes in them like entrances
to bird houses.
The ballot has to be rolled up (or wadded up in most cases)
rnd stuffed in, whereas a slot 4 to 5 inches long and not more than
an eighth of an inch wide would enable slipping a ballot into the
box with hardly any trouble at all.
Elections come seldom and are over in a hurry, but this is
no reason to let voting machinery get rusty or outmoded.
For a Richer Cultural Life
"The appeal for music," said Mrs. B. F. Royal, chairman of
the Carteret County committee of the North Carolina Symphony
Society, "is universal and direct. It requires no technical knowl
edge to appreciate, and there are as many types of music as there
are individual tastes."
For this reason, Mrs. Royal pointed out, no art is so encum
bered with prejudice. The "jive' enthusiast closes his mind to
any music outside the realm of tho currently popular dance tune.
Hill billy and sectional ballad singers have their own ideas of
perfection; while those accustomed to opera and concerts are be
wildered by the idiosyncrasies of the popular-song composers.
Many are so biased in their musical idea, in fact, that they re
fuse to give anything new and unfamiliar a fair trial.
"The North Carolina Symphony, under the direction of Ben
jamin Swalin. has done much to break this mental resistance,"
said Mrs. Royal. "The Little Symphony in particular, through its
ability to reach the smaller, and less accessible districts as well
as the larger towns, has exerted a wide influence upon the musi
cal education of the St:tc. People everywhere arc learning that
symphonic music has permanent and lasting beauty."
The North Carolina Symphony Society has become a force in
the State. Through the support of its members, it has been re
sponsible for disseminating great music to every region from the
vcoastal plains in the'east to North 'OeroHmt'i' western mountains.
iWhen the Little Symphony plays inMorehead"TJity this spring,
our citizens should take pride in the fact that through their sub
scriptions they are not only helping themselves but every indi
vidual in North Carolina acquire a richer cultural life through
the experience of listening to great music.
Ballots and White Caps
Only three-quarters of a century ago Susan B. Anthony was
fined $100 for attempting to cast her ballot on election day. The
American woman did not have the vote in Miss Anthony's time,
,for the ISth Amendment, enfranchising women, became law only
in 1J20 thanks largely to the militant pioneering efforts of Miss
1 Anthony and her sister suffragettes.
At Rochester, N. V., during the 1872 elections, Susan B. An
thony insisted on voting, even though it was "agin' the law." She
was arrested, tried, and fined, tut refused to pay. The case was
a national sensation all through 1873, and it Inspired other fem
inists to follow her example and badger male officials at the polls.
In 75 years the role of women in our life has grown remark-'
I ably, and so has that of nursing, which still remains for the most
part a woman's profession. It happened that Linda Richards be
came America's first professional nurse in 1873, the year of the
furor over Miss Anthony's tilt with the law. More than that,
1873 saw the establishment of .the first three nursing schools in
.trie United States utilizing the Florence Nightingale system. Un
der Miss Nightingale nursing developed into a profession.
Hence the 280,500 registered nurses of America date the his
tory of professional nursing from 1873. With the American Nurses'
association at their head, they are currently observing the Dia
mond Jubilee of Nursfng. A national committee which includes
President Truman, ex-president Herbert Hoover, General Omar
, N. Bradley, Charles Taft, and more than 60 other national lead
; era, Is cooperating with the ANA in sponsoring the Jubilee. '
Scheduled for Tuesday in New York City is the Diamond
Jubilee of Nursing banquet to be attended by 700 outstanding
figures of public life who will pay homage to the memory of
Llnda Richards, the "American Florence Nightingale" and
.through 4ier, to all women who have played n important part in
our national life. The banquet will symbolize the fact that the
careers of three great feminist leaders, Susan B. Anthony, Flor
ence Nightingale and Linda Richards, crossed In the historic year
of 1873. .

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1948
Ry Eula Nixon Greenwood j
MORNING AFTER Very little
work was done in Raleigh offices
on Wednesday following the Elec
tion, for your State capital, is a
politically conscious community
and the employees had averaged
only about five hours' sleep (in
formal survey) on Tuesday night.
Gov. R. Gregg Cherry hovered
over a radio in the Mansion's big
living room, chewed tobacco and
smoked cigars until around .2
o'clock Wednesday a.m., meantime"
carrying on casual, but sometimes
spirited, conversation with two old
cronies, LeRoy Martin of the Wa
chovia Bank & Trust Co. and Zeno
Martin, business manager of Mere
dith College. Gov. Cherry got to
work on time, which is more than'
can be said for some of his leading
associates, many of whom took a
day's, annual leave to '.'see it
through" and to cajtch up on sleep.
"DON'T YOU REMEMBER?"
Raleigh likes to think it is politic
ally keen, which it is on occasion,
but Hairy Truman's victory sur
prised everybody here as much as
it did you. Nevertheless, quite a
few of the old heads trir;d to get
across the point that "I just had
a hunch that Truman might win.
Don't you remember I told you
let's see as we were going up on
the elevator two weeks ago, I be
lice it was, that."
No. Nobody remembered that
anybody in Raleigh, except Lynn
Nisbet of the Afternoon Daily as
sociation, had thought Truman had
the slightest chance of being elect
ed President, and nobody ever
found out why Lynn thought so.
Hilton Smith, who hrndlcs the ad
vertising for Carl Goerch's State
Magazine, was crowing on Wed
nesday morning that he had won
$10, even money, on Truman. A
friend replied: "Well, all I've to
say, Hilton, is that as things look
ed on Tuesday that was a damfool
bet even if you did Win."
CHERRY DID IT Vou can be
lieve this or not, but if Gregg
Cherry, at the National Democra
tic Convention last Summer, had
pulled clong with the State's Right
ers and against Harry Truman,
this State might have lined up
solidly with Strom Thurmond arid'
Field Wright. Don't forget this,
whether you like Gov. Cherry as
a Governor or not: When the
chips arc down, you will always
find him right in there pitching.
And he doesn't care whether it's
the popular thing or not. At the
Philadelphia convention, there
were several North Carolinians
who wore wek.fcneed about Tru
man, but not Cherry. 4i,
DANIELS Of course, Jona
than Daniels was up there as a
delegate plugging for Truman. He
was with him all the way, both
figuratively and literally, and the
talk in Raleigh last week was that
"Jonathan Daniels can have any
thing he wants in the Truman ad
ministration." In fact, Daniels if
now in Florida vacationing with
the President. While the High
Point Enterprise and the Charlotte
Observer were drum-beating for:
Thomas E.' Dewey, (he News and
Observer in Raleigh counted it a
day lost when it didn't run at least
one headline and most of the
time this was the feature story
on Harry Truman.
TOPS So, North Carollna is
on top in the Democratic Party
though there is talk that War -secretary
Kenneth Roy a II was out
playing golf when Truman wanted
him for an important Cabinet con
ference just before the Election.
N'th Carolina for three years
now has had more first-line offi
cials in the Federal Government
than ' any other Stite, including
Missouri, and now Congressman
Harold Cooley will be chairman of
the House Agriculture Committee,
while 'Congressman R. L. Dough
ton wi be chairman of the all
powerful Ways and Means .Commit
tee. Incidentally, the present
chairman, Congressman Knutson,
tax-cutting friend, was defeated
for re-election.
Though witlings may still de
fame her, old North Carolina has
certainly come of age.
SUNDAY SERMON One of
the.best sermons preached in North
Carolina each Sunday is carried on
the editorial page of the Greens
boro Daily News. .For 31 years
now Tom" Bost, veteran Raleigh
correspondent 1or GUN, 'has each
week taken news event, in out
standing political issue, or "What
have you of interest, and deve
loped it into a 1,500-word aermon.
Somehow, being a, student .of the
Bible, he can always find a verse
of scripture as a springboard for
the editorial-sermon. : , ;
There isn't room here to quote
Sunday's Bost sermon on the Tru
man victory, but this Is the Bibli
cal verse: "But God has chosen
the foolish things of the world to
confound the wise; and Sod hath
chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which
are mighty." '
"" " eaaasaeaaMaa'' ' ' .'"V . i
BRIBES VS. RAISE The con
stitutional amendment doubling
...... . f
the pay of legislators (from $800
to $1,200) had rough sailing at
the hands of voters last week, but
managed to make it. Kerr Scott
came out in support of the change,
saying jt would prevent the Legis
lature from become a "rich man's
club" meaning, of course, that
only those citizens with good in
comes could afford to go. to the
Legislature on the $600 maximum.
there has been some feeling
that the low pay caused legisla
tors to accept financial bribes or
cash donations from companies or
organizations wanting to pass or
prevent legislation. This column,
hearing this before the flection
and after it, contacted several men
who are serving or who have serv
ed in the Senate or the House,
never, at any time, they said, had
they ever known one member of
the General Assembly to accept
or be offered one cent for a vote.
They 'pointed out that solons can
get free liquor, beer, or wine when
they want it. They are often wined
and dined and generally courted
but no cash is ever involved.
SPORTS J. M. Broughton,
your' new U. S. Senator and Wake
Forest ulumnus, trustee, legal ad
visor, etc., sat on the Duke side
during the Blue Devil-Deacon clash
last Saturday, demonstrating that
he is representing all the people.
A few days prior to that game,
Coach Wallace Wade told a radio
interviewer Duke would rather de
feat Wake Forest any day than
Georgia Tech . . . They came pret
ty near doing it, tod so close, in
fact, that thousands of Baptist
hearts beat faster. One Wake
alumnus and a member of. the
board of trustees, the Rev. W. D.
Poe of Oxford, died while listen
ing to the game.
Physicians will not permit E. B.
Earnshaw, Wake Forest Bursar, to
see Deacon games, for fear it
might bring on a heart attack.
NAMES Here are some of
the players roaming North Caro
lina ! rid irons this fall: Duke De
Rcgatis, Souchak, Viau, Stephanz,
Conti, Swelchick, and Eslick; Caro-lin-fttarczyk,
Syeigman, Cospfc

MayScekor Wake Forest Suiscak,
Bel fats, Clcia, Baublis, Auffartbi
Pambianchi; State Romanowsky,
Cegelis, Dostanko, Tencick, To
faute, and Kirmeyer.
The miracle seems to be that not
one of the above is a concert pia
nist. Not one is noted for his
prowess with the violin.
Be that as it may.

Thoughts for an open mind f...
The man who feels that his virtues are his own personal accom
plishments lis likely to be the one also who thinks that by
passing' laws he can make men virtuous by edict and pro
hibitory mandate.
Our ideas are as dependent, to say the least, upon the matrix
formed by our habits as our acts upon -our conscious thoughts
and purposes.
What you give out you get back, no matter what it is. What we
get out of life is the reflex action of what we put into It.
The law of attraction determines our status at all times:
There are certain type of mind that always fear the worst, there
are others that always expect the best, live for the best, work
for the best And to which class you belong will make every
.difference in the world! in rfact, lit is the tparting .of the
-ways: the one loading down into the dark valley, the other
leading onto the high rosd of real living and wonderful doing.

By "Gene" Long
Morehead High School
Hi folks!
I think that this week we should
give a hand to the boys in our
high school who have helped work
on the gym. They have painted
the lines on te floor, put up a new
scoreboard, hut in new window ,
panes, painted Uie dressing rooms,
and I think they are painting the i
inside walls. Our gym was sadly j
in need of repairs and they iook
upon themselves the responsivility
of making them. I don't believe
there is anyone in town who will
be ashamed of the gym next Tues
day night. Our visitors then, for
the first doubleheader of the year,
will be alliance.
. Speaking of painting, the boys
have also painted Mr. Talberfi
home-room which needed It very-4
badly, too. When he gets new
blackboards, his room will be
one of the best, If not the best,
looking room in high school.
Wednesday afternoon was visit
ing day at school 'and we had
quite a few parents out. Since this
week was National Education week
it began with a program last Mon
day night at PTA by Mrs. Bailey's
12th grade home-room and it was
one Which everyone liked very
much.
I'm hoping to see all of you at
our first game, 7:30 Tuesday
night, and also at the Teen-Age
Club Saturday nights.
Bye. ... i
P.S. Did everybody 'hear about
the three boys that had to -miss
English last Tuesday to go to
court? It's no joke, they really
did! Get them to tell you all about
It!
