Carteret County News-Times A Merger Of The Beaufort Newt (est. 1912) * The Twia City Timet (est. 1916) EDITORIAL PACE FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1949 ' It's 'Play Ball' lor the Kids . Junior baseball leagues deserve the credit for starting many profession ball players on the road to fame. They also have kept many a boy off the road to crime. For this reason. THE NEWS-TIMES is planning this summer to sponsor the Junior Baseball Sunday School league. With f the cooperation of the Carteret Ministerial association. Games will be played throughout the summer, beginning the middle of ? this month. The ministers of each church or charge have been requested to see that their boys, from the ages of 8 to 12. join their Sunday School ball team. St. Paul's Bed Sox have been playing games all spring. This ex cellent ball club has prospered mainly through the efforts of th$ Rev. W. L. Martin, rector. We know that all preachers are not fortunate enough to be ball players or baseball coaches. Also, they have other duties, which many of their congregation may think are more important than a boys' ball team. But there is usually one man in every ; congregation who loves kids, likes baseball, and would give some of his time each week to give the boys a few pointers while they knock the ball around on that grass plot near the church. This baseball league can increase the boys' interest in coming to Sunday School, it can provide that esprit de corps which we seldom find these days in Sunday School classes. Handsome trophies, presented by THE NISWS-TIMES, will be given the winners at the end of the season. A Sunday School baseball league deserves consideration, not only by the ministers and the boys who are eligible to play, but by Sunday school officials and all members of county church con gregations. It can help to make this summer a memorable one for the youngsters. A Friend in Need M/s. I). G. Bell (known to everyone as "Miss Madie") has been more than a mother to the Morehead City Woman's club. She founded the organization, she's helped it up when it stumbled, she has smoothed over hurt and ruffled feeliugs, nursed it when it was sick, and now when it is grown and should be able to walk alone, she has answered the call again. The president for the coming year will be Miss Madie. Other plans interfered with the elected president's serving. And no one else in the club, younger but evidently with only half the pep of Miss Madie. would serve. If civic organizations had more members with Miss Madie's qualities, towns would be buzzing with activity ? people would be worrying less about themselves and thinking more about others. When there are speeches or discourses on "prominent" citizens, "notable" officials, or "outstanding" personages of Morehead City one else in th club, younger but evidently with only half the pep Thoughts for jm open mind ... Agree when you should, but if you disagree ? disagree agreeably. Peer as deeply and as fixedly as you will into the abysses of your own being, you shall always find therein that it is the future that determines and, in a way, created the present, at every instant the past crumbles into nothingness under our feet and we flee from it while the eternal future, draws us upward and on. It requires a sterner virtue than good nature to hold fast the truth, that it is nobler to be shabby and honest than to do things handsomely in debt. Problems exist only on their own level ot consciousness. ? Jim Morrill Tfrws from sr \ WILLISTON & Jan. 1. ? Rev. Haywood filled his regular appointment at the Williaton church Sunday. Several of our men have gone off now on their summer's work fiahing at different places where the menhaden industry operates. We wish for a good summer's work for all concerned.

SWEATING IT OUT Raleigh oundup By Eula Nixon Greenwood SCOTT SPIRIT ... On Monday j morning. May 23, at 5 o'clock. Kerr Scott, Governor of North ; Carolina, was on Radio Station WBT in Charlotte pleading with ' the farm people of that area to I support his road-and-school pro gram. Six more times on that day ! he spoke in behalf of the project, ' which, it it is approved by the peo pie on Saturday, may make turn an- j other Charles B. Aycock. ~.r>.T .. j, His simple sincerity in this fight i is wonaeriui, wnemer you agree with him and his philosophy or not. Scott, his verve, his nerve and his steamroHer, fullback ap proach to the matter is unique, sti mulating and invigorating. His mind, his whole being, seems to be burning with a zeal to lift North Carolina to new heights, and his approach to the situation is little short of fanatical. Call Kerr Scott what you will ? dema gogue. dreamer, or despot -r he is literally afire with a bold deter mination to shock, push. pull, ha rangue. and drive the old North State out of what may become known as its "pre-Scott lethargy " Right or wrong, Kerr Scott is the man .of the hour in this State and he may well become the man of 1800-2.000 as Aycock was for 19 00-1950.

Phase 7t7? two weeks in May, indicating more employment . . However, one of the outstanding textile mills in Central North Carolina two weeks ago ran the shortest (two days) work week in its 50-year history. RALEIGH IVEY ... The J. B. Ivey Co. of Charlotte, which now f operates stores there, in?Asheville, and in Florida, has absorbed Tay lor's in Raleigh. In keeping with the Ivey tradition, no playing i cards, bridge tables, or anything ; pertaining to alcohol will be sold 1 at the new Raleigh store. Which will likely , be called Taylor-Ivey. Consequently, for three weeks ! now, cards, bridge tables, wine glasses, etc., have been moving fast at Taylor's here. Also, it is presumed. *here will be no more Sunday window-shopping at Tay lor's. The Ivey store in Charlotte, at least, pulls down the blinds on all display windows at the close of business on Saturday night. HURRICANE . . About a year ago Candidate for-Governor Kerr Scott said he was going to open 1 the windows of the Caiptol and let in a little fresh air. As per his promise, the windows were h'isted several weeks ago and the fine/ j . / 1 9 (rash rural atmaaphere filled the place. But the windowraiaer did n't atop with the mere raising. He took out the windows and the fresh air became a strong breese, then a hefty wind. Now there is a Scott hurricane and every old-line State employee feels it, fears iW and knows it is useless to fight it. All signs indicate that it will continue to blow fiercely until July 1. The men at the top were hit first. Now many of the underlings will get their pink slips. PRICE VS KENDALL ... As reported here before, Colonel Henry E. Kendall. Employment Security Commission chairman and native of that old political strong hold, Shelby, is almost sure to be replaced by one Brooks Price of Charlotte. Although Colonel Kendall was not a Scotl man, he has done virtually everything except turn cartwheels and do head-stands for the Governor during the past five months It is understood Price was offered a place nil the Indus trial Commission, but eschewed that for Kendall's job. a position he has had an eye on for lo, these many months. NEW FACES The order of the day here is that old maxim "To the victor belongs the spoils." There may be criticism of Gov ernor Scott, but he believes the people requested new faces in Ra leigh by electing him. However, Uncle Sam protects With jealous hand the Employment Security Commission in each State and looks with sharp disfavor up on its being made a political foot ball. When "Hurman" Talmadge kicked ESC about in Georgia, the Social Security Board withdrew its funds until the floor was swept. Now similar action has been taken in Arizona. There seems little danger of this occurrence in North Carolina. CO-OP DEPARTMENT STORE . . The E. A. Filene Cooperative of Virginia, which in 1948 set up the nation's first cooperative depart ment store, has just completed a difficult year. Although set up to do a volume of $1,500,000 annual ly. it actually did only $600,000, losing approximately $150,000. The management of the store says new advertising and promotion policies will cause it to. break even this coming year. N. C. MYSTERY STORIES . .
