Carteret County News-Times A Merger Of The Beaufort Newt (est. 1912) ft The Twin fcity Times (est. 1936) EDITORIAL PAGE FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1950 A Bridge Cam Be BUwn Up Wilhmd Dynamite Rfforts on the part ot a few individuals to arouse sentiment against placing the proposed new bridge at 24th street in More head City have met with little response. Change and improvement ic inevitable and as with all im provement such as this, there are some who feel they will suffer and there are others who feel they will benefit. In situations of this sort, be they in government, small organizations, politics, or whatever, it's surprising what a big noise the dissenters, usually few in number, can make. The war has made heavy construction materials hard come by. and in view of the current situation work on the bridge will be held up by that factor alone. Contributing factors such as dissent and objection to Ihc bridge site by "sidewalk engineers" could put the whole project in jeopardy, which is undoubtedly what the dissenters want. As Beaufort says, "If More-head City doesn't want a million dollars spent over there, we'll be glad to take it over here." What the Well-Dressed Citizen Will Wear The fashionable person in Morehead City tomorrow will wear a tag. On the tag will be the words, "Boost the Band." Only those who have made a contribution, it matters not how large or how small, will be privileged to wear one of those distinguished labels. Members of the junior and senior band will call at homes in the morning and everyone who gives them a contribution will re i ceive a tag in return. To show their appreciation ot the coopera tion received in the morning the band will march and perform | down town in the afternoon. Everybody's Becepiion-Happy It looks as though every town from Rocky Mount to Beaufort is arranging a reception for the new highway postoffice Tuesday. Everybody is so glad to get something that promises to give better mail service that they're doing everything except turn somer saults. With so many receptions, however, it looks as though Car teret county will be lucky if the big mail bus arrives here by dark. Wha' sis? When we're winning in Korea we're called the United Na tion$. When we're iosing we're called the South Koreans. Aii.ino . . . Macey w waae nas not been in the limelight much during recent ycafs, but has been doing all right in a financial way with his business. For several days now he has been ill at Rex hospital here in Raleigh. His defeat for Secretary of State by Thad Kure in politically turbu lent 1936 brought to an abrupt end his career in State politics. In the first primary that year, Wade led Kure 212,687 to 168.970. Wade had it in the bag. of course, and Eure hesitated and hemmed and hawed about calling for a second primary This was his right to do, because Wade did not have a ma jority over Eurc. Finally. Eure took the plunge. Wade still claims he was jumped on, lied about, crossed and double crossed. Be that as it may, in the runoff Thad Eure received 234,956 votes to Wade's 194,015. Although Wade lost, he still has thousands of friends in North Car olina who will regret to know of his illness. DULL WEEK Last week was pretty dull on the news front ?round Raleigh, most of the elec tion sparkle coming from other states. That accounts for two rumors that made the rounds, both of them concern I ;g Dr. Frank Graham. One of the reports had Senator Oraham suffering from a heart at tack. He gave the lie to this tale by running up a flight of steps before l?e heard about It. The other buzzing had him running for Governor. We have just pointed out that it was merely a flight of atairs, but the rumor boys said his gay, carefree, hail-blithe-spir it manner and his attendance at Democratic functions made like a candidate. Dr. Graham has a dear friend Who will be a candidate. That is William B. Umstead of Durham, leading Carolina alumnus who play ad hands off in the Smith-Graham fracas. This is sufficient to keep Dr. Prank from running. NORTH CAROLINIAN . . . Time Magazine in its issue of November 13 nas a long article on me work of Dr. Samuel Alcott Thompson, who is now a heart speciahat in New York City. Dr. Thompson has developed an operation which has quickly re stored peonle suffering from coro nary artery disease to useful, active lives. As Time tells it, this surgeon just dumps talcum powder into the heart sac in a 2(1 minute oper ation. Dr Thompson has perform ed this operation on more than 40 patients since 1938. Of them, 70 per cent are still living; all but four report themselves vastly re lieved. This miracle worker is a native of North Carolina. In fact, he was in the first clnss Dr. Thurman D. Kitchen taught at Wake Forest College in 1918. He used to ac company Dr. Kitchen on some of his calls in what was known as the "Harricane" section of Wake coun ty. Dr. Thompson's father was a minister and (t one time was em ployed by the State Baptist Con vention. As Dr. Thompson and Time re port it, his operation works this way: "the heart sac is (lit open, then two drams of especially fine talc are spread on the Inside of the sac membrane. Fine at it It. the talc acts as an irritant. The sac becomes Inflamed and much more blood courses through it; then it adheres to the heart muscle, aed its blood gorged vessels throw out branches into the muscle. These branches increase the muscle's blood supply and. hence, Ita power to keep the heart beating. MOVING OUT . . . This is merely another example of North Ceroli na'a loss of outstanding men. We have them all over the nation. We are good producers, but we fall down in our processing Dr. Thompson, for instance, left the State because he could not receive advanced medicine in North Car olina. Since he wes here, we have de veloped four-year aedical schools with intern facilities at Duke University and at Wake For est's Bowman Gray in Winston Salem We will soon offer the same advantages at the University.

As we develop plants lor processing our cotton, our wool, and our wood products, we must also work to keep our youth from traipsing off to other lands. We need them. LIQUOR VOTE . . . I.ike other gub ernatorial candidates before him, Governor Kerr Scott called for a Statewide referendum on liquor. He has made reference to the need for this vote in two or three "for mal" speeches. The Governor, how ever, like other Governors before him, has not pushed the matter. There was some talk in Kaleigh last week that he might apply some pressure this time. This rumor had the believers in legal sale of al cohol scurrying for cover. They should not be so fearful. SCANT NOTICE ... The way four states which had the liquor quest ion before them in the General Election behaved should be of in terest in North Carolina, but the votes received least notice. In Arkansas last week, the vote was on State-wide prohibition. The people went against prohibition. In Oregon, the question1 had to do with prohibiting advertising of al coholic beverages. The people de cided to let them go ahead and ad vertise. In South Dakota, the vo ters were to decide if they should prohibit the sale of alcoholic bev erages where food was served. They voted to let the beverages be sold in the eating places. In Massachusetts, prohibition had three questloni on which to vote. The liquor followers won out. METHOPISTS AND BAPTISTS . . . The Methodiats in Kinston a few day? ago called ardently for pro hibition. The Baptists will do like wile when they meet in Durham.1 By and large, the church leaders- - ministers and laymen want a Statewide referendum. Despite the ill fortune which prohibition has met In tome of the other states, the wets are acared of a vote on the matter. There is little chance of the dry ? letting the problem before the people any time soon. Gover nor Scott two years ago had a good opportunity to make the test, but he didn't follow through. Now his inflvMce is not sufficiently great to get the call for a referendum through the Legislature. That is the iqiprMrion here. BRIGHT SIDE . . . Since the truckers were given a rather se vere handslapping in these col umns last week, it might be well, in fairness to them, to report from an editorial in a leading North Carolina daily and thus give these giants of commerce and the road credit rightfully due them. This paper says that people are sur prised in driving through the Pied mont to note the many and in creasing industrial enterprises lo cated along the highways in the "open country." The editorial says further: "Time was when a railroad siding was an indispensable for any sizeable in dustry. For many enterprises, es pecially where heavy goods are involved, it is still vital. But truck transportation now makes it pos sible for industries of appreciable size to operate successfully in areas not served by railroads." We all sometimes curse trucks, for one reason or another, but they really shell out the taxes. For instance, if the owners of the 5,000 automobiles and other motor vehicles in the counties of Clay, Dare, Graham, Hyde, and Tyrell counties paid as much as $17 each for their license tags, they all to gether would still not pay as much license tax as one motor carrier in this State operating only 200 trucks. NOTES . . . Former Lt. Gov. J. Elmer Long, now an attorney for Coca-Cola, will again be the Gov ernor's Legislative advisor . . . [His other helper, George Ross, is head of the Dept. of Conservation and Development . . . Gov. Scott and Agriculture Commissioner L. Y. Ballentine were having words last week, the latter saying his addition to the Agriculture Build ing would be well along if the Governor had pushed it as he did the Highway Building . . . Pro vision for both buildings were made by the 1949 Legislature. The delay in the Ag Building has fixed it so- that money originally appro priated will not be enough . . . Increased building costs . . . The Governor and the man who suc I ceeded him in the Agriculture Department have not been exaetly en rapport for many moons.
