PAG TWO FRIDAY, JANUARY 1949 IT. Carteret County Ilews-Times '"'A Merger Of The Beaufort News (est. 1912) & The Twin City Times (est. 1958) h EDITORIAL PAGE FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1949 f Ji 'Twas a Noble Job Beaufort fire department did a noble Job Wednesday after i noon in fighting the Scarboro-Safrit lumber mill fire. The department said following the fire that thanks was especially due the Morehcrd City department which stood by with a fire truck and their service truck at the Beaufort station. At the same time, they remarked that it was surprising that not more than one child was injured at the scene. Many of the youngsters after school, they reported, walked the length of the fire hose. If the hose had burst, the force of water spurting out would seriously injure anyone, especially a child. Kveryone of the 54 members of the fire department, as well as some Morehead City firemen, were at the fire from the time of the alarm until the mill was out of danger, almost six hours later. Export work of the firemen prevented the fire from spreading and completely destroying the mill and nearby dwellings. 'Disagreeing with Nr. Hardison... I I a. i I I I Our neighboring county representative in the legislature, Burl (" Hardison, of Craven, introduced a measure in the assembly Wed nesday asking for repeal of the law setting up the state's auto mobile inspection program. We aree with him, TF there are plans to replace it with one that makes it unnecessary for the present lanes to travel all over creation. The slate should provide for inspection stations to be permanently located in each of the 100 counties, the number or stations to be determined by the number of vehicles in each county. If. however. Mr. Hardison intends that the motor vehicle inspection program should be completely abolished, we brand his intentions as foolish and a step toward increasing the number of highway deaths in North Carolina. Twice within the past week we have driven behind "some thing" several hundred feet ahead of us on the highway. Some times we saw it and sometimes we didn't. It might have been a big lumbering elephant gone astray, for all we knew. No tail lights. Ask a used car dealer in Pennsylvania or New Jersey what he thinks of the North Carolina inspection program. He laughs and says, "We don't take any cars from there unless we go over 'em good. As long as they have fenders on, they pass 'em." We doubt if that's true, nevertheless, it helps to prove one point: the inspection program should be retained, and tightened in some spots if necessary, not abolished. The highway is no place for ears just one jump ahetd of the junk man. The only way to keep these wrecks off the highway is to maintain a car inspection program. Thoughts fa? jun open, mwd... . Evil ft wrought by" want th6ufc4s wjtwant of ieart. We are very proud of our reason.'amj yet we guess at fully one half we know. Either do not attempt things at all, or go through with them. Knowledge is proud that it has learned so much. Wisdom is humble that it knows no more. Knowledge is the product of the hall of learning. It might be termed the sum total of human discovery and experience, and defined by the use of the human intellect. Wisdom deals with the essence of things and not with the things themselves, it is the intuitive apprehension of truth, the inale perception that can distinguish between the false and the true, between the real and the unretl.

C. n n . n ti C, VCl. 69, lata t jt To the Editor: ;VSr I taught the seventh grade in v Morehead City the first year you '(A: had the Graded School. I think it was laus-itfua. I used the class management outlined in the enclosed letter to the editor. My work was hamper ed by the school system but it was good enough for mc to see the miracle it could perform. Sincerely, Sybil Hyatt AN APPEAL TO PUPILS November 23, 1948 Kinston, N. C. Pear Pupils: I believe there an several hun- f3J dred pupils in our high school, iS who are not taking anything they ;;' can lesrn, and there have been for i ij years. 'Xjx " I intend to spend all my spare (;, time from now on, trying to ex t plain why this is true and why "J: it is impossible to change this V. ,lct without changing the cir , cumstances which caused it. The first circumstance to be "it k changed is to give the teachers the right to a fair and a public trial. We have had our school system over fifty years. No per son in the system can change it. The change must come from out side. Also no pupil can be turned back to make up what he has lost. He must slay where he is ?nd make it up and even go for ward to the next grade at the end of the year. If a pupil tries rnd can not learn much, he should go up. There is nothing harm ful about this. Saying he has learn ed something he does not know, is the wrong. In every walk of life there are persons who want to do right and persons who want to do wrong. But in teaching, if the credits are kept in a book open to the inspection of the class and the teachers who want to do right, can stand their ground, the other kind of teachers will be compelled to do the same and fll of them can explain how they figure the credits. Before the law, every pupil is entitled to the same amount of the teacher's time. If the names of the children ere placed in a book in alphabetical order and the child ren recite in that order, each one rising as the preceding one sits See LETTER Pg. 8 CARTERET COUNTY KTWS-TCIES Carteret County'!

HOPE FOR TH2 DECT -0 1 been advising Scott for some time now as to how to proceed with, bis legislative projects. . . ,, - It's going to be a slaw trip from Raleigh to Gastonia for R. Gregg Cherry. He will be driving, at 33 miles per hour, a new Chevrolet, the gift of State employees and other friends. In November, teachers in vari ous sections throughout the State were requested to write Kerr Scott personal letters outlining the need for higher salaries. In some, in stances, this request went from Raleigh to the superintendents and down through the principals to the teachers. Wade Lucjs, who many years ago had a Raleigh column each Sunday in the Charlotte Observer, will cover the Legislature for that paper and will take up the column again. Lucas will also do a daily legislative broadcast for WVOT, Wilson 1,000-watt radio station. The best legislative service, year-in-year out, is that provided by the Institute of Government. To the cities, counties, and towns of N. C. it will again provide a daily bulletin digesting each bill intro duced, a weekly summ?ry of local bills, a weekly summary of legis lative rctions, and a complete sum mary of all acts enacted or amend ed during the session. RURAL ELECTRIFICATION ICS aleigh oundup By Eula Nion Greenwood IiUASS TACKS Kerr Scott, as a candidate and as the man you nominated end elected Governor, has done a wh: le of a lot of talk ing during the past 10 months. Now comes the time for action. New he must get down to brass acks. In his inaugural address four years ago R. Gregg Cherry went into detail about what he wanted to do during his term as Governor. He knew to what extent the Legis lature would go along with him end he chrrted his course accord ingly. Consequently, a look-back on his four years shows that he has dene most of the things he set out to do. In fact, he has accom plished more than he had planned,' for tour years ago we wete still in the war and North Carolina boys were daily losing their lives in the "Battle of the Bulge." You may not agree, but history will show that Cherry has been a good Gov ernor. Scott in his inaugural address will set his sights higher than did Cherry. His program will be much more ambitious than Cherry's, but tacks you will find him working to adapt the Legislature's actions to his thinking rather than adapting his plans to the Legislature's wish es. He will use his vast appointive powers, his strength with the peo ple, and approximately 30 key men in tne House and Senate in his ef forts to bring the General Assem bly into his realm of thought. LETTERS Gov. W. Kerr Scott's offices in the Hotel Carolina here and his home at Haw River are sw;mped with letters. It seems that nothing is too trivial to take to Kerr Scott: "I want a job. . ." ..."There is a mudholc down here back of my house " . . . "This new road is going right square. across the well in my backyard. 1 If you think the school bus route wasn't laid out right, just get in touch with the new Governor. In short, if you feel that you have been "put upon" in any way in recent years, Kerr Scott is the man. He's the cure-sll. Write him. It's like that old song, everybody's doing it. Why not you? "RIGHT" It seems safe to say that no Governor in recent years has received, before he actually became Governor, the great quanti ty of mail that has showered on Kerr Scott All of this indicates that every cross-roader feols close to Scott and has full confidence that he can put things right. And by "right," he means the way he himself would fix it if he were Governor. Therefore, many a letter-writer is in for a big disap pointment. Scott is for the "little man," whoever that is, but he is no mas ter mind, no king.

So don't expect too much of him, and don't turn your back on him if be isn't successful in making that new-cut road go around the well in your backyard. NOTES Sandy Graham, head of the State Highway and Public Works Commission, is expected tn decide this week whether he will remain in this position until May 1. You may have the decision by the time you read this. He wanted to get out as of January 1, but Scott has written him asking him to remain on the job until other arrangements can be made. That is, until the Legislature Is out of the way. . . . incidentally, Graham is a brother-in-law of Elmer Long, who will be Scott's handy man with the General Assembly and who has Kerr Scott told a friend last week that recent speeches shot at utility companies had them so excited that "they are putting two poles in every hole dug." In view of his recent lambasts to the effect that the light and power companies are not reaching out into the hintefland, it is inter esting to note that the Rural Elec trification Administration says in its latest report that North Caro lina, with 68.4 per cent of its farms electrified, is leading the South in this respect and is fast approach ing the national average of 68.6 per cent. In 1935. only three per cent of North Carolina's farms were wired. LOCAL Over 60 per cent of all the bills which will be intro duced in the Legislature will be local bills. These sometimes cause bigaer fights than the Statewide legislation. ' : Bv "Gene" Long Morehead High: School , Hi folks! Kignt before Christmas the grade mothers of the Senior class entertained the seniors at a buffet supper held at the Recreational Center. It was our Christmas par ty from them and I suddenly real ized that they have never been formally thanked. During the rush of getting ready for Christmas I'm quite sure most of the seniors just ; forgot it. So, on behalf of the Senior class of Morehead High, I wish to thank Mrs. D. B. . Webb, Mrs. Harold Sampson, Mrs. W. C. Matthews, Mrs. Leroy Guthrie, Mrs. J. W, Whcalton, Mrs. Giles Willis and Mrs. "Jimmie" Derrick son. It was a very nice supper and everyone seemed to enjoy it very much. The Beta club held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday after noon. You ell know, 1 suppose, about the clean-up campaign which this club is sponsoring. Well, Tues day they discussed the prize to be given to the room which has the highest percent. Which room will be proclaimed the "cleanest room in school" remains to be seen. I thought at one time I'd give you the rooms and the average each one hxd but I've decided to let It be a surprise. Sometime near the end of school I'll publish the' re sults and a party will be given to the winning room. On Frid;y night the Morehead basketball teams will be hosts to the Camp Lejeune high school basketball teams, I hope we have a gcod crowd out to this game because I can safely say you will see a gootf-doubleheader. So, until Friday night. Bye Newport Commissioners Meet Wednesday Night ' . Newport town commissioners met for a short business session Wednesday night in the town hall and approved the paying' of bills. Because the town attorney was not present the commissioners could not hear the report on what progress had been made in having the legislature approve their pro posed financing for a water sys tem. Besides Mayor A. R. Craig, the following commissioners were pre sent: Harold Wilton, David Mc Cain, and Henry Edwards. Smile a While Wife: Well, what excuse have you for coming home, at this hour? Husband: Well, my Hear, I was playing golf with seme friends and . . . Wife: At 2 a. m.? Husband: Sure, we were using night clubs. BETTER DRAINAGE Does vour land need better drainage?
