Carteret County Ilews-Times A Merger Of The Beaufort News (est. 1912) & The Twin City Times (est. 1936) EDITORIAL PAGE FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1949 The Time Has Come . . . "The time has come," the walrus s:iid, "to speak of many things ..." Yes, indeed, the time has come when Carteret county should speak and think seriously of conducting this year a Community Chest drive, lumping numerous requests for donations into one. From November through April there is a constant progression of campaigns. One becomes weary of continually being asked for money. The heart is willing but the pocketbook is weak. If a family attempts to operate on a budget, the amount for charities cannot be estimated from month tb month, for new requests are always coming up and no one knows who or what organization is going to ask for something next. The intelligent planners say at th beginning of any year. "According to my income, my contributions for charitable causes this year should not exceed $25." Or $50 or $500 as the case may be. Then this amount, let's use $25, is paid out in driblets, $5 for the March of Dimes, $5 for the Red Cross, $10 for the TB Christ mas seals, $5 for the cancer fund. Then where do the funds for the prevention of heart disease, aid o crippled children and, especially, funds for charitable causes of completely local nature come in? If the individual sticks to his budget, they don't. If he doesn't, he soon becomes panicky when he sees all his money disappearing. Community Chest campaigns have been found to be success ful all over the United States. Conducting such a campaign on a county-wide scale can he done and done effectively. There should be a permanent board set up. such as there is now in the county tuberculosis society and county infantile paralysis chapter, which would administer the funds, determining what portion of the entire fund would go to what cause. All energies and enthusiasm would go into the Community Chest drive and we would avoid the apathetic attitude toward charitable requests which inevitably rises when we reach down for that sixth or secnth contribution. The permanent Community Chest board would determine which agencies would be included in thr Community Chest and set up the ruling thai after their drive for funds, there could be no other major charity collection in the county. The fir: Community Chesl campaign in our county would be the most important. Success of this would determine whether or not there would be any more. II should hi in the fall, probably October, and the chairman of the camp.'UKU should be endowed with all the qualities of a go-getter. Kach community in the county could have its individual goals, as in campaigns we under take now. The permanent board could be appointed cooperatively by the Beaufort and Morehead City Chambers of Commerce. Business men should welcome the opportunity to promote just ONE drive for funds. A county Community Chest campaign is the only logical answer to the parade of pleas tor one cause or another. October is seven 'months away, but it'snot too . 'earft 'fiy tijiftk 1ft the , project and weigh its potent postfbillties. i . : . Tlioughts for an open mind... It will always do to change for the better. The fruits of the earth obviously require labor and cultivation to prepare them for our use, no more so than that our faculties demand instruction and regulation in order to qualify us to become upright and valuable members of society, useful to others, and happy ourselves. To catch the thrill of hidden energies; to hear the song that is buried in the heart, and to glimpse the horizon that is tinted with beauty, you leave the market place and on some summit far removed, released from ordinary thoughts and customs sense the world and its beauty. Why is it, do you think, that the things you feel at such a time are lost when you return to the market square? It is because your market square has customs and conventions that are of other times and of other men, and a thrill of the life that is yours has neither space or opportunity to give to you it's inspiration.

V M ST I ".AD I.F.I) Reports in lt;il eigh are that the mass of appeals for the anpoimmcit of William H I'mste id was the major surprise oi the week. Manv of these tele grams came from men who beat the bushes for .1. M. Kroughlun in iiis battle with I'mslead last spring, and there were rumors that thei. were live messages suppoi tinv.

CANDIDATE IN 11)50 .One thing is sure, however: William B. Um stead, the man who was edged out by Broughton, is now a candi date foil the U. S. Senate, in 1050. The campaign is already underway. Marty a citizen remarket) last year that it was a pity that two such line, able, and public-spirited men were running against each other. Another comment race was that only ton could (leteal Bill Umstead ; or this "There is onlv one man who might beat Broiighion and that's William B. Umstead." liVundup Wgflr I 1 1 AGAINST IIOEY.. For more than six months now Capus Waynick has been planning to run against Clyde R Hoey for the U. S. Senate seat from Western North Carolina. This has been noted here, and is extremely interesting at this time.. Anyway, 1950 will be an event ful political year for Tarheelia. You will ha'e political races in every county for the Legislature, for the sheriff, etc., and also for Congress and for both places in the Senate. Waynick and Congressman Mon roe Redden lost a champion in M. J- Broughton. The first person Mrs. Bi'oughton contacted after her hus band died was Redden, then Sen ator Hoey. And, when the news of the tragedy reached the Nation, it was Redden's son who handled the sympathy calls for Mrs. Broughton Clyde R. Hoey is getting along in years, but if he decides to run again, the man who files against him will definitely have a bearcat on his hands. APRIL 2...

Like Mohammedans bowing toward Mecca, thousands of Tar Heels salaamed in the direc tion of Raleigh, and the man who Jtwo weeks ago was being virtually ignored by the Legislature, at least suddenly became somebody. The reason for the about face was clear. The Governor, and only the Governor had the power to name a new U. S. Senator to suc ceed the late J. M. Broughton. He could name whom he chose any body. Although the term would run on ly until next year, the man who received the nod would have his foot in the door as a candidate for the next full tenure. Broughton had been dead less than two hours when the storm began. Telephone calls, telegtjims, then letters.

He succeeded John Bray of Pasquotank county in this position just a little over two years ago. He, with the advice of the Gov ernor, must decide when the flags shall be flown at half-mast. In the 26 months he has been in charge of buuildings and grounds. Cherry has ordered the flags to be placed at half mast for Ambassador to England O. Max Gardner, State Auditor George Ross Pou, U. S. Senator Josiah William Bailey, Ed itor Josephus Daniels, Democratic National Treasurer Joe Blythe, and U. S. Senator J. M. Broughton. Four of the six, Gardner, Pou, Blythe, and Broughton, died sud denly. Gardner was in New York planning to sail for England, Pou had attended Gardner's funeral and was visiting friends in South Carolina. Blythe was in Washing tbn fo the inauguration. Brough ton was preparing his maiden speech for the Senate. Daniels died after a two weeks illness. Bail ey had been ill, though not seri ously, for several weeks prior to his death. Only two of the six, Dan iels and Bailey, reached the allott ed three score and ten, the fortner being 85 at the time of his death. Bailey was 74.
