Carteret County News -Times -Cuter* ClMl/l WmM"* The Ludicrous Fence The daily papers carried a picture several days ago o! Rus sian workmen building a fence along a 10-yard "no-man's land" on the border between east and west Germany. How pitifully small is the mind of a dictator, how blindly facism deals with men! If mere fences could encompass and control men's thoughts, Earth would indeed be the dwelling place of misery. But eons will pass, stars will be born and fade away into the eternity of the universe, and still ? in spite of wars and preachments, mere humans will come upon the scene and at tempt to control the sacred, all-powerful intangibles: ideas, hope, faith, and the indestructible soul in each of us. Thus Be It Ever . . . When it comes to opinions on the Ku Klux Klan, we can find none better expressed than those in the editorial columns of the Greensboro Daily News. Breaking the Back of the Klan, an editorial which appeared in that paper Aug. 1, it reprinted below. The last sentence, "The 'Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina has been kaught, konquered, klobbered, and de-kapitated," is true for this decade. We might add that it would not be well to believe that the Klan's back has been broken for all time. It behooves us ever to be on guard, and should the monstrous group again attempt revival, deal with it as the courts have this time. We quote: Judge Clawson Williams did a good day's work for the state when he sentenced Imperial Wizard Thomas L. Hamilton of the Ku Klux Klan to four years in prison and 16 more of his pillowcase pals to various terras and fines. "The day has not come in North Carolina when a man has to barricade himself in his home with the setting sun," said Judge Williams. For this the thanks of all the people of the state are due to the court officials, the peace officer?, the newspaper editors and the courageous and law-abiding citizens of Columbus county. There was evidence that Hamilton told his misguided fol lowers that he proposed to build an organization so strong that it would control the state politically and so numerous that none of its members would be convicted of the crimes they might commit. But if the mills of the courts grind slowly they too grind, exceeding small. Ex-Grocer Hamilton knows how it feels to ke caught between the upper and lower wheels. He and many if his dupes who seized the law of North Carolina in their sadistic hands and attempted to bring citizens of thfir state around to their way of thinking by means of the lash will have an opportunity to take time out to reflect on their own con duct. The State of North Carolina did not stay flogged. Some 20 years ago a paperhanger in Berlin rose to power by similar terroristic tactics. Tarheelia's fuehrer of the meat counter and the vegetable bins came to a quicker end. The law has been vindicated. Four centuries ago Richard Hooker said of the Law that "All things in heaven and earth do her homage ? the very least as feeling her care, the great est as not exempted Xrom her power." Tb* !???> full her care in Whiteville the other d?y, and the knights of the lash who had delusions of grandeur felt her power. The Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina has been kaught, konquered, klobbered and de-kapitated. To Promote Longevity Now is the time for members of PTAs and school adminis trators to begin considering innovations for the coming school year. Perhaps principals are so busy finding teachers to com plete their staffs that they have little time to think of innova tions, but more and more attention is being called by insur ance companies and safety educators, to driver-education courses. One course of this type has been functioning in the More head City school for two years. Other high schools should give thoughtful consideration toward establishing the training. The following editorial is reprinted from a bulletin on automobile safety: "Our teen-agers don't have to be highway killers! There is a solution to the tragic problem of death and destruction which our adolescent motorists cause every two minutes, day in and day out, every single year. The proven solution is a complete, scientific driver-education program in our high school course of study. "Such a program would reduce accidents among trained mo torists from 40 to 60 per cent the number caused by un trained young drivers just as similar programs have done for hundreds of other communities. "The solution is practical. A half dozen national organiza tions are .equipped to help our schools plan driver-education courses, supply us with information and films ? even help train teachers for the program. "We can't afford to ignore this solution. We cant sit back complacently and allow our youngsters to kilt themselves and others when a few dollars directed toward proper training will do much to change immature daredevils to thinking, sane drivers. , "Experts say ? and the facts prove ? that a driver-edu cation training program in every high school in the country would probably save thousands of lives and millions of dollars worth of property damage every year. Let's do what we can ? here and now." ? Further information on the programs can be obtained from the Center for Safety Education of New York University, 8 Fifth Ave., New York 11, or the National Safety Council, 20 N. Wacker Dr., Chicago 6, 111. 1 Right here at home Mr. G. T. Windell, Morehead City high school principal, will impart to other interested educators his experience with the program and how to go about establishing driver education in the schools.

Cuba has honored Agustine Par la. one Of its aviation pioneers, by issuing two new airmail stamps. _______ In 1813 Parla entered a Key Wat to Havana aero contest and vied for a $10, 000 prize. Par la's two-winged Curtis hydro plane was ham pered by , me chanical trouble and veered off the course. Another Cuban, named Rossillo, won. Parla landed safely, however, in Bahia Mariel on the Cuban mainland. Rossillo has been honored previous ly with a set of stamps. Now Parla receives bis share of philatelic glory. This set, incidentally, was orig inally scheduled for issuance in 1943, the 30th anniversary of the flight, but ma delayed until this year. The 8, centavos sepia depicts a map of Parla's flight, the pUne and the dates 1013-1952. The 25 c blue shows the plane and a portrait of Paris as he looked in 1913.

Clyde must be quite a guy with a trawl because not so long ago he made another spectacular haul ? up came a jar of corn liquor. Clyde didn't say whether or not he sampled his catch, but as the trawl came up a big turtle nearby who was smacking his lips, scowled, and disgustedly swam away. From a large fish truck Charles Davis had long pilings unloaded the other day at the foot of Pol lock street in Taylor's creek. The pilings, are going to be used to re pair his dock at the fish house. A switchman on a railroad was being interviewed not so long ago as to his qualifications for the job. The first questioned not find him without an answer: "Suppose two express trains are approaching each other at terrific speed on the same track, what would you do?" "Throw the switch, of course." "But," went on the questioner, "suppose the switch is frozen tight?" "Then I'd wave a red flag." "It is night." "In that case, a red lantern." "Suppose your lantern has no wick or oil?" "I guess I'd have to pile some wood on the track and set it afire." "Unfortunately," continued the questioner, "you have no matches." The switahman scratched his head at this desperate condition, and sat thinking for some time. Then his face brightened, and he replied, "Well 1 guess I'd tele phone my si-ter." "Telephone your sister?" re marked the astonished examiner. "Why?" "I'd tell her to come over quick and see the biggest wreck that's ever been!" If an employer ever told an em ployee at the beginning of a year that coming to him during that year would be a "nine-week vaca tion with pay," the employee would probably pop a gusset with joy. A nine-week vacation is almost three months. If an employee gets a two-week vacation, add that to 52 Sundays during the year that he doesn't work and it adds up to a man's actually going to work about nine months out of every 12. A prominent dietitian recently stated that despite the high cost of living, it is possible for one to eat for an entire week at a cost of only ninety-eight cents. He did not say whether he was referring to ? canary, a couple of goldfish, or a ghost. I sent one of my precious poems to an editor the other day. "Let me know at ance whether you can use it," I wrote, "as I have other irons in the fire." In a few weeks the answer came from the editor: "Remove irons, insert poem."

Our United States By Floyd Cramer President of the National Asso ciation for the Preservation of Free Enterprise. Inc. Adolf Hitler operated on the theory that the Big Lie, if told often enough, would finally be ac cepted as the Big Truth. Hitler came into power as a Socialist. We must never forget that. Nor must we ever forget that the Russian Socialists, day in and day out, also rely on one Big Lie after another. Currently in the United States, the Socialists' Big Lie is the asser tion that the Free Enterprise sys tem benefits only the powerful and the rich. By making this ac cusation over and over, the Social ists hope to alienate the Ameri can people from the economic and political system which the Ameri can people themselves created, and which has made them great As a matter of fact and as a mat ter of historic record, the Free En terprise system benefits ?very per son who has the blessed good for tune to live under it. Its benefits are by no means lim ited. They extend to every pro fessional man, every small busi nessman, every farmer, and every salaried employe. Let me give you just one instance with respect to the professions, the case of the doctors. The people of this country have a natural desire to make the best skills of the medical profession available at the lowest possible cost to the largest possible number of people. Socialist - minded folks argued that the way to do this was to com pel the doctors to join up in a na tionalized scheme for socialized medicine. For a while, that cam paign seemed to be gaining strength. But now it is weakening. Why? Simply becauae, under our Free Enterprise system, doctors and pa tients have formed voluntary asso ciations of their own, which serve to extend medical service at low cost. Because the Free Enterprise system permitted and encouraged those voluntary medical service associations, the physicians and sur geons of our country have been able to fight off the demand that they be regimented and federally controlled. In this manner, the M.Dj of the United States Nkve escaped the shackles placed upon them in the Socialist countries. They are still free men, and, thanks to Free En terprise, the American people are on the way toward more and cheaper tnedical care. This highly desirable outcome has been achieved without govern ment intervention. Every doctor is left free to choose the group with which he will affiliate or not to affiliate with any group at all. Subscribers to these plans may se lect any greap they like. Mort over, no one can be forced into a group, and even if a man is in a group he can still call in an out side doctor whenever he wants to. Surely this is better than the Russian system or even the Brit ish system under which the all powerful state interfers in one of the most delicate of human rela tionships, that which should exist between physician and patient. That's the American way to deal with a problem. In another short article soon, I will show how Free Enterprise methods also protect the farmer, the small businessman and the employee.
