North Carolina Honors
Newspaperboys Today
From humble newsboy to .
You can will in that blank with
almost any position you like. No
matter what the choice, you'll
find somewhere the job has been
held by a man who once sold news
papers on the busy streets of Amer
ica.
Today has been designated as
"Newspapertooy Day" to honor the
"little merchants" in North Caro
lina now getting their first taste of
business life. If the day were also
commemorating famous persons
who used their experience selling
newspapers as a stepping stone for
success, thousands of prominent
personalities would doff their hats.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, Pres
ident of the United States, once
served a home delivery route in
Abilene, Kan. Former President
Herbert Hoover supported himself
when he was 15 by working as a
carrier salesman and office boy.
Chief Justice Earl Warren, na
tive of California is a former
newspaper boy, as was John S. Fine
of Pennsylvania and Harold E.
Stassen, former governor of Minne
sota.
The entertainment world is filled
with examples of celebrities who
made their first step up the ladder
of success selling newspapers.
Comedian Bob Hope tells this
story from his days as a newsboy
in Cleveland, Ohio.
"One of my regular customer*
was John D. Rockefeller. One
night I couldn't make change for
him and told him I'd trust him un
til the next night. Hia reply waa:
'Young man, let me tell you some
thing. Never give credit when you
can get cash. Remember that. You
are in business and should have
change.' "
"Considering the source," Hope
ssys, "that should be sound advice."
He and Rockefeller later became
good friends.
It has come to be traditional (hat
American boys make pocket money,
clothes money, or help pay their
way through college by selling
newspapers. It is a job that is
peculiarly suited to teenage boys,
taking them outdoors, giving them
work suited to their physical capa
cities, affording them experience
in handling money.
An integral part of the news
paper business, these boys are re
sponsible for getting the papers
to the public. They make most of
the personal contacts between
newspaper and reader, and upon
their shoulders falls the responsi
bility for creating good newspaper
customer relations.
The public, in turn, affords these
young merchants a chance to get
an early taste of business life. They
and their customers enjoy a unique
relationship of mutual service and
dependence.
Judge Orders Mental Tests
For Charles Stephenson III
Marines Use Mine
Detectors to Help
SBI Locate Loot
Camp Lejeune The North
Carolina State Bureau of Investiga
tion put out a call for help last
week in tracing the location of
several thousand dollars loot re
portedly buried near Wilmington.
Marines from Camp Lejeune re
sponded . . . with mine .detectors.
The Camp Provost Marshal, who
received the call, relayed it to the
Second Engineer Battalion, Second
Marine Division which furnished a
detector and pair of technicians
trained in searching out items far
more dangerous than greenbacks!
Accompanied by Sgt. Eugene J.
Boroughs, Provost Marshal inves
tigator, the local Leathernecks con
tacted SBI Agent Satterfield upon
arrival at Wilmington Tuesday af
ternoon. The party then proceeded
to an open field several miles
from Carolina Beach.
Marine Privates First Class Al
bert L. Mero and Harold J. Walker,
of the 2nd Engineers, led the large
group of lawmen in the search for
a time box which a prisoner claim
ed to have buried in the field sev
eral weeks ago. But the efforts
though diligent and thorough, were
unsuccessful.
A* Boroughs put it, "We search
ed that field from one end to the
other for more than four hours,
with mine detectors, but didn't find
anything more than a collection of
tin cans!"
Though the detector crew miss
ed the stolen swag, lawmen praised
the Marines foe. their assistance in
the case ? the first on local re
cords where a mine detector was
used for this purpose.
* New Bern ? Acting upon the
recommendations of James A.
Stutts, probation officer, Craven
Recorder's Court Judge Laurence
Lancaster has ordered mental tests
for Charles Henry Stephenson III,
a 21-year-old Raleigh youth whose
last of several serious traffic con
victions in eastern North Carolina
courts was a suspended two-year
sentence in Lancaster's court on
June 15 for drunken driving.
Stephenson, who has been in Car
teret County much of the time this
summer, was involved in a chase
which resulted in the death of a
highway patrolman at Newport a
few years ago
Stutts says Stephenson has vio
lated terms of a three-year proba
tion by failing to avoid injurious
and vicious habits, by associating
with persons and visiting places of
disreputable and harmful charac
ter. and by failing to report to the
probation officer as ordered.
Instead of moving for immediate
revoking of the youth's proba
tion, Stutts recommended in a
closed-door chambers hearing dur
ing a recess in Craven Recorder's
Court that Stephenson be given a
series of examinations by the psy
chiatric division of Duke Hospital
in Durham, to indicate whether
treatment is advisable.
"I have felt for some time that
this young man is psychologically
deranged," said Stutts, "and that
he is suffering from a personality
disorder. It might have caused
him to violate the terms of his pro
bation. If not, we can still move to
have the probation revoked."
Judge Lancaster said he agreed
with the probation officer's opin
ion. The two were interviewed by
a reporter following the court's de
cision Tuesday.
With Stutts and Lancaster when
the chambers hearings was held
were Stephenson, his father, and
Attorney D. L. "Libby" Ward of
New Bern.

The freedom of the press is basic to all your American freedoms.
Only as your newspaper is free to print the facts, can you be free to
know them. Only as you know the facts, can you act wisely in the
best interests of your country, as you see them. In America, there is
plenty of room for difference of opinion. There is
no room for restrictions on the people's right to
know the truth. Your newspaper is freedom's
forum. To each, it brings the facts. Upon all, it
imposes the obligation to keep forever open the
channels to knowledge that mean freedom for all.
