Carteret County News -Times A Merger at The Beaufort Newi (ert. 1(12) *ud The Twin City Time? (eft 1*M) EDITORIAL PAGE TUESDAY, JULY 31, l?5l" A Would-Be Ruler Dies, Nazism Stirs Crown Prince Friederich Wilhelm, eldest son of Kaiser iVilhelm II of world war I died July 20. He had hoped one }|ay to become emperor of a new imperial Germany, instead %is lifetime spanned two of the most destructive wars in his wry, each of which endfd in shattering defeat for his nation. A great-grandson of England's Queen Victoria, he lived ?lways in the shadow of his strict father who constantly criti cized him for attempting to play a part in diplomatic and mili tary affairs. Crown Prince Friederich is dead, but even as he breathed his last, flames began to flicker brighter on another pyre, one which spelled disaster to any hopes of a revived im perial Germany. That pyre is Nazism. ! Today, just six years after Hitler led Germany to defeat and ruin, the Nazi ideology is again winning cohorts. A few are neophytes but the majority are the same Nazis, just six years older, who cheered der Fuehrer. Gen. Otto Remer, leader of the Socialist Reich party de clares: "We like Hitler. Join us for the defense of German Mood and honor." At rallies bands play the "Badenweiler March," the Austrian corporal's favorite tune. Former storm troopers, Nazi party members and war veterans snap ?to reverent attention. At the polls this spring 400,000 west Germans, captivated J^y Hitlerian campaigners, voted for the Socialist Reich party, giving it 14 seats in the 159-member state parliament. Allied officials are shocked at this brazen bid for political power. It pi-oves that many Germans have not yet been con vinced that Hitler's path was the road to ruin. ? Dr. Fritz Doris, brains of the Socialist Reich party, de Clares: "We shall revive Nazism." General Remer recently placed a wreath on the grave of the Dachau Concentration fpmp's infamous commandant. Nationalism and socialism, the apringboards of Hitler's Nazi movement, are stressed, and America is attacked on all scores. Allied officials report that the new Nazis and the Com munists have joined forces to sabotage German rearmament i?r western defense and that, furthermore, the Communists are suspected of contributing heavily to the Socialist Reich party's treasury. Crown Prince Friederich died, his dreams never realized. He lived a quiet life, his people never caring whether that life was lived in sickness or health. And as he passed, those same people are turning again to the philosophies screamed forth by a man who brought them only war, torture, death, and abysmal misfortune. Mindful must we be of such stirrings, for like the wind, tjiey can be confined not to one spot, but must blow over the whole world. 'Commercializing' Religion Critics say religion is too commercialized, and even some of those who are not outright critics of the church are inclined to agree. When persons accuse the church in that vein they ny that "the church is always asking for money," or "the church is always holding suppers or bazaars." And some of the less conservative sects ire criticized for selling religion with modern-day tactics ? loud-speaking systems, mass revivals, and billboard advertising. u Let's consider the first criticism: the church is always asking for money. Of course it is ? the same as the business man is always asking for money ? only he Immediately hands ?ver the counter something in exchange and the customer feels satisfied. ,i The church must exist (reasons why it should are a dis course in themselves) and it has the same right to exist as does the businessman. In return for the services it offers, a place for rest, meditation, a place to be baptized in, married in, a place in which last rites are said, remuneration is request ed. If the church is to fill the needs of the modern world, it cannot be recluse. Its leaders cannot afford to lock themselves behind dun geon-like wall? for study and meditation ... its followers are ^ not like the ancients who forsook all worldly possessions and depended for their livelihood on the charitable kindness of fellow human begins. The church, as always, must take its place among the people if it is to perpetuate the principles taught by the Naza Mne. To do that, it has to be "commercial"? it needs money to exist. II People want to worship in a building that is pleasant to enter. We have known persons, never having worshipped in ? church, who point out proudly to visitors the various sanctu aries In a community. Their interest, essentially, is "commer cial." They want tourists to see that the people of the com munity could support the imposing looking, steepled houses of God. n/ And then comes the critic who declares that the church il being commercialized by suppers, bazaars, bake sales, etc. U one looks closely one may see that quite a few of these Critics are busiryssmen who feel that their own business is being hurt by. the enterprising church. We doubt if any church has entered so extensively on supper, bazaar, or sales projects to the extent that welfare of commercial houses is jeopardized. Since existence of today's church depends largely on financial support, when persons fail to contribute, a way to reach them h to play the same game as the merchants? offer them some thing tangible in return for their money. And then we hear the critic of the church advertiser. Many clergy and laymen themselves are divided on this issue. A refined, conservative method of bringing the church to the ppople through the community's accepted channels, of publi is never amiss. We agree that certain sideshow tactics ?nd blood and thunder revivals are not in keeping with the aacred tenor of Christianity. On the other hand, there are the b?U games, bowling alleys, dance spots, movies, television? lUi biddii^ loudly for the would-be church-goer's time. Perhaps religion is commercialized ? if so, it's keeping pace with the world. When the time comes that the church falls fceliind and gives us, the pfeasure-seekers, up for lost, then, tpdeed, that shall be the time for mourning. i in CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES Carteret County's Newspaper A Merger of THE BEAUFORT NEWS (Est. 1912) and THE TWIN CITY TIMES (Est. 1836) Published Tuesdays and Fridays By THE CARTERET PUBLISHING COMPANY.

Adultescence results when parents worry so much about the fact that their youngsters are going through adolesence that the kids become more mixed up and self-concious than they otherwise would be. Now that I've got that random thought off my chest, let's get down to something simpler like the gallon of snow in the freezing cabinet at the Griddle. Whenever it gets too hot to do anything but cuss, Nell cools off by fetching a gallon of snow Neil Windley, her brother, collected up at Cherry Point during one of last winter s snow falls. Sez she, "I've saved it for weath er just like this!" All the. people who can no long er dump the i i garbage on town dumping grounds and who don't want to have the town collect it ? are madder than hornets. I feel SO sorry for them. Just like using somebody's else's toothbrush all your life and then suddenly having to go and buy your own. The latest news on Front street is that Roland Bell is going to build a new drug store ? if and when steel can be obtained. Pony pennings are scheduled Thursday and again next Friday, Aug. 2, at Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks. With two pen nings a month during the summer those critters will be run down to a frazzle. Bill Sharpe has left Carolina Power and Light as publictiy man and is now editing the popular "State" magazine. Carl Goerch, who made the State what it is, has assumed the title "associate ed itor." Even Morehead City is joining the fight to keep the Beaufort Western-Union office open because they believe the move in Beaufort is a wedge to close the one in More head City, too, and put the office there on a part-time basis. Looks like we may be approach ing the opening of a carrier pigeon era. Brantley Brown, Aycock's oldest son, sailed from Norfolk Thursday, July 19, as a member of the United States Merchant Marine. He's aboard the Cities Service banker, Salem Maritime. Brantley recently took final flight tests for a private pilot's license, too. He was 19 on the day his first ship left port. The Readers Write THE NEWS-TIMES has received several letters to the editor re cently which cannot be used because they are not signed by the name of the writer. "A Friend," "An Interested Reader" or "Joe Blow" will not suffice. If the writers of these letters will come to the office and give their name, signing also the lfetter in our possession, we, will be glad to print them. (Editor's Note: The following let ter comes from J. Herman Canada, of Kinston and Goldsboro, the great-grandson of the founder of the estate on which tbe DuPont company is erecting its mamoth Dacron plant.) To The Editor: Kinston has long since ceased to be a town. It is a community. Our city limits are mere formalities. And our county lines have grown so dim that you can't tell where they are except for the signs. The people of our adjoining counties are so closely identified with our business and social life that we regard them all as our people. Kins ton not only belongs to us but to our neighbors as well. I hardly know where I'm from. I stay tn Goldsboro. live in Kinston. and spend much of my time watching the DuPont plant grow. All I know is, I'm proud to be a North Carolin ian. The establishment of the Dacron plant by the Dupont com pany la not only going to help the Kinston community but it is going to focus attention of the whole U. S. A. on eastern North Carolina. This is only the beginning of a new industrial era in this section. I think this whole section would do well to help us render all possible assistance not only to make the Dacron plant a success, but an ex traordinary success. The officials of the DuPont com pany must be pleased with our ef forts to assist them in this great undertaking ?s the program has been increased from a Nylon plant to the large Dacron plant which al most doubles the outlay in less ? than one year, notwithstanding the fact that Kinston is building more living quarters than ever before. The housing problem is critical. Ntarby towns are helping us in a big way. I am pleased to see the rapidity with which Grifton is building a large number of houses. Another serious problem is the labor shortage. More skilled and unskilled labor would be a tremen dous help to us at this time. When 'the flupont plant is completed in about two years intelligent young men and young women will have unusual opportunities to get work in the plant under the most scien tific conditions. The people of Morehead City and Beaufort have an opportunity to play a big part in the industrializa tion of the eastern North Carolina by futher developing your port ter minal. 1 need not tell you that your port has unlimited possibilities. Not many years ago I realized for the first time that the Panama Canal is du<\ south from your port terminal. North and southbound steamers pass your front door every day loaded with freight for your section, but imports and ex ports from your back yard are un loaded at other ports. You are getting a raw deal! I hope the day is not far distant when your port will have a regular port service and the \ast import and exports of this section, especi ally. farm crops will be handled from your port. J. Herman Canady Smile a While A lady on a bus took the only empty seat next to a harmless looking souse? and opened a map. It was a detailed map of Korea. The tipsy youth leaned over and craned his neck to see what the lady was studying. Finally he said in diffi dent tones, "Sure you're on the right bus?" p- THEY HAKE NEWS I STAMPS By Sid Kronish THE AGE of chcmical science has reached the US philatelic scene. To commemorate the dia mond jubilee of the American Chemical Society the US will issue a new 3 cent stamp Sept. 4, in New York. The central design will show the emblem of the Society. At the left is a modern alembic with support ing instruments. The conventional hydrometer and modern ionization indicator are also seen. At the right is the horizon depicting a >>? -v . - : -v.. chemical city typified by the tow ers of a cracking plant, a Butadene reactor and a fractionating unit. Stamp collectors desiring first day covers may send a limited num ber of addressed envelopes, not in cxcess of 10, to the Postmaster of New York City together with mon ey orders to cover the cost of the stamps to be affixed. The outside envelope should be endorsed "First Day Covers." BELGIUM has put forth two new airmail stamps. The 6 fr blue illustrates a glider. The 7 fr orange red shows an airplane. These stamps were issued to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Belgian Tero Club. TUKKEY has issued a four stamp set to honor the 25th anni versary of its coastal shipping in dustry, reports the New York Stamp Co. The stamps, from the 15 kurus to the 1 lira, show various scenes common to the industry. TWO THOUSAND years ago the Gallic tribe of the Parisi built a fortified town on the islands of the Seine. It was called Lutetia* and was connect- |J ed with the two banks of the riv er by two wooden b r i.d g e s. The Romans overran the site and later the barbarians. But the city sur vived and was called Paris. This year, to help celebrate the z.uuutn anniversary o: tne city a new French stamp has been issued. It is a 15 franc adhesive in the trl-colors-red, white and blue. In the center is the official seal of the city which features the emblem of a boat connoting the ancient boatmen of Paris plus the famous Pleur de lys. ONE OF THE MOST beautifully designed sets of stamps to arrive on the philatelic scene is the new set of. pictorials from Mozambique Each stamp- and there are 24 in the set ? shows a different fish in COH R 64 O S /04001 MOQ A M Bl QUE natural color with an attractive solid colored background. Beneath the fish is the name in Latin plus the name of the man who recorded the species. The denominationa range from the 3 centavos to the 50 eacudos. ON THE HOUSE ? BY DAVID G. B AREUTHER THE BEST WAY to keep a house cool at thi* time of the year is to build it north of the Arctic Circle, If you've had to locate nearer to business, you can have a hot time with the rest of us ? trying out' all the artful dodges designed for what the glamor people jokingly call climate control. Everyone knows he might have an air cooled house if he could af ford it, but that's still a costly proposition ? costly to install and costly to run. And then there are other wonderful things in the offing ? for instance, heat pumps that will suck the heat down to the bowels of the earth where it belongs. But what is needed most is something here and now that can be bought for less than the cost of a new car. The electric fan seems to be it. BIG CHANGES have been made in fans in recent years. A trip to the department store or appliance shop will convince you. There are fans that squat on the floor like hassocks, fans that fit into windows and fans to install in the attic to pull evening breezes into your windows. Since getting hot air out of the house after a blistering day is the crux of this comfort problem, we'll probably always have a need for fans. As a rule they are inexpensive to operate, simple to install and maintain and they offer years of service. One of the newest types of window fans is a twin motor job designed with the idea of drawing warm air out of the house while pouring cooler air in. The two motors have separate controls and each is reversible. You can run one at full speed exhausting warm air, while the other at a lower speed brings in the evening's coolness. Or you can run both to gether in either direction. These twin fans are encased in a gray steel housing not unlike a small suitcase. The complete unit weighs less than 20 pounds and fits into a 16-inch-wide casement window as well as in regular double hung sash. Bill Welch, jr., of Cincinnati, who pioneered in the hassock type fan some years ago, designed the twin window fan and claims that it will displace 3,200 cubic feet of air per minute. That should change the air in a good sized house in less than 10 minutes. IN USING any window fan it's a good idea to choose a window that will allow the (an to draw outdoor air across the entire room before ex hausting it. The best location is not always the same room you want to cool the most. The window should not face prevailing winds. Wind blowing against a Ian will slow it down and cut its efficiency. Keep other windows closed on the same wall with a window fan. Other windows in the room should not be opened if you plan to cool ad joining rooms. When cooling more than one room, think of the inlet and outlet windows as valves. People have tried all sorts of expedients for cooling houses. They have hung wet towels on radiators and blown fans against them to cool by evaporation. But with the humity what it is on most summer days it's seldom that you want to add more moisture to the air. Closing all windows and doors in the morning and pulling the blinds can keep a house cooler, but the air is stagnant. Operating the blower only on a circulating warm air heating plant will cool a closed house by circulating the air through the cool ducts in a basement. But this, too, means unchanged air. So the fan seem to have it. ATTIC FANS have had many years of service now as breeze makers. A 48-inch blower properly installed in an attic, with an adequate ceiling grille, will draw 16,500 cubic feet of air per minute. However, the outlet louvers in the attic should be 10 per cent larger than the ceiling grille area. Ceiling insulation is important in keeping roof heat out of a house and a ventilated attic is important for that reason. Roof surfaces on hot days often reach 150 degrees. A tightly closed attic can become superheated and overheat rooms below. Circulation of air is cooling even if the air itself is not so cool. Skin evaporation does the trick. Hollywood By Gene Handsaker Hollywood -Though only a mild fan of most movie hoofing, I've de cided that the Champions. Marge and Gower, have a secret. It's this: They get an enormous kick out of dancing and they manage to transfer some of that joy to us spectators. "Well, we certainly do enjoy dancing," Marge said in a joint con ference with this married dancing team the other day. Marge and Gower Champion ? synthetic sounding show names if you ever heard any. But they're real enough. "I can't imagine anyone taking up a name "like Gower Champion," said its owner, a lithe, good-looking ex-Coast Guardsman. His wife Marge, the cute type, with expres sive brown eyes, thought a name like Champion might sound a little presumptuous. "Like a prize- win ning terrier," her husband agreed. The Champions, bright assets in the newest film version of "Show Boat," met in Los Angeles' Ban croft Junior High School. Gower learned to dance because his mother thought "he should "you know, the Friday afternoon cotil lion, with the white gloves." What really started him in show business was winning a ballroom dancing contest (prize: a big sil ver trophy) at the Cocoanut Grove here when he was 16. His partner was named Jeanne Tyler (Marge enters the picture some time later). Gower and Jeanne were hired for a week's engagement at the Grove ?and stayed 13. They toured the nation's theaters and night elubs for four years, with Gower's moth er as escort. Marge started taking dancing lessons at six because her father, Ernes Belcher, had a dancing school. At 14 she herself was teach ing the younger pupils. She was the model for Walt Disney's "Snow White." She was a featured dan cer in local light-opera productions. In New York, she appeared in "Dark of the Moon" and "Beggar's Holiday." TODAY'S BIRTHDAY SEBASTIAN KRESC.E, born July 31, 1867 at Bald Mount. Pa., accumulated from nickels and dimes a fortune i that mounted tol millions of dol-1 lars. He started business as a salesman, saved eight thousand dolars in five de pression jnears and launched the five and ten cent store? which eventually became S. S. Kresge Co. ? chain of 697 stores in the United States and Canda. Sebas tian Kresge is now chairman of the board. He has given millions to philanthropy. He lives in Mountain home, Pa. e**?>m<6ev Only you can PREVENT FOREST FIRES! AUTHOR OF THE WEEK Benedict Kiely, an Ulaterman, has been wanting to write ever since he was a boy, and now at 32 he obviously is doing pretty well at it. His second novel; "Call for a Miracle," has just been published. Born in County Tyrone, educated by the Irish Christian Brothers in Omagh, he is a graduate of the National University, in Dublin. In that city he has worked on several newspapers as critic of books and the arts. Besides work, he walks, drinks beer, collects books, at tends football matches and above all, in a city of talkers, he talks. IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS THIRTY-THREE YEARS AGO Miss Bertha Hellen had resigned her position with the Beaufort Banking and Trust company and was going to Wilson as teller in the bank there. All undocumented vessels more than 16 feet long would now have to have a number assigned them by the deputy collector, and all un documented vessels more than 20 leet in length would have to have a special harbor license. Wiley H. Taylor's name was plac ed on the democratic ticket for the office of sheriff. TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO The earth fill for the Beaufort Morehead City bridge was complet ed at a cost of $85,000. Property damage of more than a million dollars was suffered in Palm Beach when a hurricane hit it. The Norfolk-Southern railroad started suit, claiming the marsh lands between Beaufort and More head City and on both sides of the railroad. TEN YEARS AGO Boy Scout troop 51 of Beaufort had invited 500 Tar Heel Boy Scouts to come here the weekend of August 23. T. A. Loving company of Golds boro was awarded the contract for the United States Marine corps air station at Cherry Point. Miss Mary Johnson was chosen Miss Beaufort and would represent the town in the Morehead City water festival. FIVE YEARS AGO Miss Ann, Gillikin of Morehead City and Miss Hilma Chadwick of Beaufort were flying to Wilson to compete in the Miss North Caro lina beauty contest. Williston Methodist church cele brated its homecoming. Mail delivery was started to Front and Ann streets extended. The King Wat Pleased A refreshing little incident of royalty without its crown came to light recently in a report to a New York newspaper. Accompanied only by his dog, the old King of Wurttemberg takes many long walks along the shores of Lake Constance during the sum mer. Recently he crossed in a little tourist steamer to Rorschach, on the Swiss shore. As a simple trave ler he entered a restaurant and ordered a sandwich. "You have a beautiful dog there," remarked the waitress. "Yes, more beautiful than I am," the king replied. "That is true," said the girl, simply; "and certainly he is far younger." "You are perfectly right " When he had eaten the sandwich, the king departed, leaving a gold piece on the table. The girl ran after him to say that he had forgot ten his change. "Oh, no," the king said, "you are to keep the gold piece as a remem brance of the King of Wurttem berg. to whom you have paid the unaccustomed compliment of sin cerity Some quizzer wants to know where the capital of the United States is. It's all over the world ? give us a hard one.
