Hospitality Would Help
It would be helpful if North Caro
lina shrimpers would show some inter
est in the work the research vessels
Combat and Bowers plan to do here.
The two ships are undertaking work
that will help shed more light on the
North Carolina shrimp fishery. It is
boped that the Combat may find some
J -rawlable bottom in deep water and
'that the Bowers may be able to show
that a mid-water trawl can be of value
to commercial fishermen.
These boats are equipped with gear
that the average commercial vessel
cannot afford, because a lot of it is ex
perimental. A fisherman working for
a living is not going to invest in gim
cracks and do-dads if he's not sure
they're going to pay off.
The Combat and Bowers are taking
the risks for him. If they can show that
a new type of trawl works, then the
fisherman can be reasonably sure that
?n investment in it will pay.
In the past, North Carolina fisher
men have been known to take a dim
*iew of "research," "biologists," and
"'scientists messing with our fish." This
attitude has filtered up to the federal
fisheries research folk and they can't
be blamed if they sort of venture into
North Carolina waters with their guard
up.
As a result, North Carolina some
times comes out the little end of the
' horn. If a certain number of months
is allotted for a project, other states
get the lion's share of the time and
then "if there's time" the research
teams get around to North Carolina.
The Fish and Wildlife Service cer
tainly does not intend that any one
^area or state be slighted. But as fisher
men well know, a lot of things get
thrown off schedule when it comes to
fishing and venturing on the water.
Add to that the idea that "North Caro
lina fishermen don't go for this re
search stuff anyhow" and it easily can
be seen that, unintentionally, North
Carolina may be slighted in the search
for new fishing grounds and better
gear.
North Carolina fishermen can be of
lots of help to the crews of the Combat
and Bowers because they know these
waters. Their information might save
the explorers lots of valuable time. In
turn, the research vessels can devote
more time to finding out what nobody
knows for sure.
Whereabouts of both ships can al
ways be learned by phoning the Fish
and Wildlife lab, 2-3491. The crew
members aren't stuffy, unapproachable
scientists. Basically, they're fishermen
and they like to talk to fishermen.
They may be a bit shocked if local
fishermen show an interest in their be
ing here, but after the shock wears off,
talk about trawls, lines, engines and
catches might get pretty interesting.
Formal reports on what the boats do
here are available free, upon request,
by writing Fish and Wildlife Service,

Want to Show a Movie?
Available in the county right now is
a movie showing the manufacturing
and testing processes of Salk vaccine,
the vaccine which prevents polio.
The 24-minute 16 mm. movie was
made by the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis.
The film shows how important it is
that eligible persons get their polio
shots. It should be seen by high school
students, Parent-Teacher Associations,
and other ftdult groups.
The reel of film need not be ordered
or sent for. It's in the county right
now, waiting to be shown. School prin
cipals who want to show it, program
chairmen in civic organizations who
would like to borrow it need only
phone 2-4501 or 6-4175 and request
that the film be delivered to them.
Heads-Good Hatracks
The Morehead City Centennial steer
ing committee plana to meet Monday
1 night to decide on the special "wearing
apparel" that will be used to celebrate
the town's hundredth birthday.
The idea of a captain's cap for the
men seems to meet with approval al
most everywhere. Badges of some sort
have been suggested for the women.
Somehow we don't go for the badge
) idea. There are very few women who
4 will slap a badge on their dress or
sweater week after week, especially
the type of flashy badge which would
be worthy of a big event.
We believe that headgear of some
sort for the women would meet with
? much more approval. Women have
. taken over almost every type of ap
parel the men wear. They might even
like the captain's cap.
Or there are all sorts of variations
on the bandanna. The large rectangu
lar bandanna is somewhat dated now.
Small thrce-cornered scarfs that knot
at the back of the head are quite pop
ular.
Perhaps some company could be
found which would make up bandan
uias with "Morehead City ? 1857
'1967" printed or embroidered in one
corner.
Those could be sold, perhaps, for as
reasonable amount as the captain's
cap.
According to our information, all
members of the steering committee arc
men. May we suggest in a meek, small
voice that maybe a woman should be
. called in to help decide what the
women might like if any wearing ap
parel is going to be ordered for the
ladies?
One reasonable woman would be
enough. It would be utterly impossible
to please a group of women. If cute
bandannas or scarves are selected, the
girls would probably go for them in a
big way. Badges? Negative.
Whafs Cooking?
(The Carolina Israelite)
Today when the rabbi or the Protest
ant clergyman shows you through his
newly constructed edifice he shows you
the kitchen first.
Kitchens? In a church? A caterer
tells me that the new churches and
temples have better equipped kitchens
than some of the biggest restaurants in
town.
Some institutions can serve as many
as 1,000 people within a half hour.
They are complete with steam tables
for big affairs, "short order" tables for
the meetings of the Couples Club, Sis
terhood, Mr. and Mrs. Club and the
Women of the Church.
Dr. Mordecai Kaplan, the Jewish
philosopher, has said that when the
geologists of the future start digging
up the churches and the temples built
during the past 10 years they will con
clude that this American decade was
the most pious era in world history.
But the steam tables, bakeries and
barbecue pits will puzzle them. This
may send them off 011 a brand new
line of research ? to find out the na
ture of the sacrifices practiced in these
huge bake ovens.

She Wanted Her Freckles Amputated
A gal came into this studio to
have her portrait made and the
first question she asVed was, "Do
you do freckelectomys?"
My Gorgeous Tomato is a flower
of the night, she doesn't wake up
'til the sun goes down. Now this
is all allright exceptin' I am the
guy that gets up
at 4 or 5 a.m.,
so 1 go all day,
playing golf, do
ing a little work
and in e s s i n'
with the boat.
So eomes eve
ning and this is
what happens,
we dress for
dinner and go
out to some
Jerry
joint. Well about midnight I am
pooped and my Penny is just get
ting going good. Guess she ought
to trade me in for a younger mo
del ? either that or slip me some
sleepin' pills the night before.
Guess maybe its beeause 1 am a
light sleeper. The first boat that
goes by this place with all the
motor noise and the happy fisher
men hollering, well that rolls me
out of bed and I am up for the
day, while Penny could sleep even
iffen you shot a shot gun off in
the room.
Why is it on our TV that every
ones head is cut off right at the
forehead?
Dear Jerry,
I did not have the pleasure of
meeting you when I was in your
city last July visiting George W.
Ball, but I did meet the "Gorgeous
one" and have been reading your
column ever since. I felt quite bad
after reading your article of a poc
kctbook gift from the friend in the
Pen so am enclosing something
to put in your pockctbook.
I enjoyed my stay in your fine
city and the fishing. Hope to come
back next year. George Ball just
left after visiting me and taking
in the American Royal.
Sincerely yours,
L. E. Seymour
My column's illustrated today:
The great power of the press,
a reader sent me some money,
$20 On the Republic of Texas,
stew bad I don't like Texas or I
would go there to cash in this
wonderful gift?
Went out to see Dick and Betsy
McClain's new house way out there
by the Country Club. What a
dream boat. Them new hardwood
floors reminded me of a fellow
went to see his friend who had
two small boys. Well the boys
were sitting on the hardwood liv
ing floor driving nails just as fast
as they could in to the floor. Fel
low said, Gee that gets kinda ex
pensive doesn't it? Friend said,
Not too bad, 1 get them nails
wholesale.
Yachts are going south by the
soundful. Capt. Bill Styron at the
(?ulf doek has had 'em stacked up
like eordwood this last week. He
said. Come on in boys, we ean
tie 'ein together 'til they reach
to the marsh.
Ma Taylor was. on the town
election night, reminiscing. She
said, 1H> years ago tonight Lincoln
was elected and Friday is my
birthday and 1 will bo 96, so come
on over and help me celebrate.
What a wonderful living doll she
is.

Roll Shenandoah. By Bruce Lan
caster. Little Brown.
Major Ellery Starr, of the Army
of the Potomac's artillery corps,
had been wounded at Gettysburg
and doctors refused to qualify him
for further service.
So Starr, unwilling to accept the
security of life at home and still
seeking to be useful to the union,
turned newspaper reporter.
The New York Tribune assigned
him to the Shenandoah Valley. His
adventures there, while reporting
Sheridan's campaign which cli
maxed at the battle of Cedar Creek,
form the fabric of "Roll Shenan
doah."
They arc lively adventures. Starr
arrives in Chambersburg, Pa., on
his way to the valley, just in time
to witness its burning by Confed
erate raiders. He meets Joseph
Wcstlakc. ostensibly an itinerant
evangelist, and his daughter Gil
lian; falls in love with Gillian and
unmasks her father as a fifth col
umnist.
He falls in with a weird artillery
outfit known as Barnum'a Museum.
He is victimized by a fellow re
porter, becomes close friends with
Sheridan, meets a pretty teacher
who is really a Union spy.
It's a story that gives full play
to Lancaster's talents as an his
torical novelist. The background
of the campaign which crushed
Confederate strength is authentic.
Starr is a newspaper correspon
dent gains entree to military coun
cils and secrets and a certain priv
ilege of movement which gives the
tale more latitude than would have
been the case if he were in uni
form.
"Roll Shenandoah" is not a mo
mentous story. But it is told with
Lancaster's great skill and it's in
teresting, exciting reading. And
Barnum's Museum will be terrific
in Cinemascope.

? Words of Inspiration
TO MT SON
Lon< years ago when you were ?mall, and all your prayers were said,
1 raised the shade that you might see the starlight from your bod.
Remembering my own great need of comfort auch as thi>.
1 smoothed the pillow, held you close, and gave my good-night kiss.
It was our little covenant that meant our hearts were right
With God and with each other, as we parted for the night.
Yet even in your dreams you knew that I was e'er close by,
And always beard your slightest call (you never knew just why).
And so it is today dear son, I write that you may know
There is no other land, nor sphere, but where my heart may go.
Still up above the stsrs keep watch, as in your childhood days,
And just as then, in suppliancc, your mother kneels and prays.
? Margaret Norria Davis
Say to your son, "Boy, the world is yours. It strctchcs out in front of
you twenty -five thousand miles wide, and it is bursting with opportunity.
There are more people than ever in some kind of trouble, who will be
delighted to find someone who can help them.
"There are more things in need of straightening out than ever before.
The world is full of ideas and full of challenge. Things taste just as
good as they did when Gallilco first began thinking about senses, or
when Ty Cobb first picked up a baseball. Go to it! Have funi"
How do you measure a man's greatness? One way is to find out how
far his effect has carried from one person to another.
Many good men affect people they know and through them have some
affect on those people's friends. There have been great men whose
power has reached through from one circle of people to another, and
another beyond.
Twenty steps removed from some men, the force of their personality
is still a real thing, causing men and women to change their lives in one
way or another.
You get a good idea of a man's greatness by determining how many
such steps away his character is still having its influence.
When you use this yardstick to measure the greatness of famous men,
you are likely to be disappointed. They stand up quite well, although
it is striking what a wide variation shows up among them; many men
who are accepted as being great had only a fraction of the effect of
some of the giants in world history. ? Unknown
To wish is the play of an office boy; to do is the work of a man.
Very few do their best. That is why there is always so much room
for improvement.
"Don't think too much about yourselves. Try to cultivate the habit
of thinking of others; this will reward you. Nourish your mind by good
reading, constant reading. Discover what your life work is, work in
which you can do most good, in which you can be happiest. Be unafraid
in all things when you know you arc in the right."

This is the Law
By ROBERT E. LEE
For the N.C. Bar Association
CRIMES AND TORTS
DISTINGUISHED
What is the difference between
a crime and a tort?
A wrong which injures another
as an individual only, and only af
fects the other members of the
community so slightly that public
good dors not require the state to
notice it, is only a private wrong
or tort.
Those acts which injure the com
munity in its social aggregate ca
pacity arc public wrongs, and,
where they arc made punishable
by the state in a proceeding in its
own name, they are crimes. The
former is a private wrong, where
as the latter is a public wrong.
In the case of a crime the wrong
doer is liable to a criminal action
by the state, whereas, in the case
of a tort he is liable only to a civil
action by the person injured.
May a single wrongful act be
both a crime and a tort?
Yes. The same wrongful act may
be both a crime and a tort. In such
ease the wrongdoer is amenable
both to a criminal action by the
state and a civil action by the
party he has particularly injured.
These two actions arc separate
and distinct. Neither of them is a
bar to the other.
The object of a criminal action
is to punish as an example. The
object of a tort action is to com
pensate the injured party.
Among the crimes that may be
both a crime and a tort arc: as
sault and battery, murder, larceny,
embezzlement, and obtaining goods
by false pretense.
The title of the case may reveal
its nature. For example, if Joe
Smith steals the personal property
of Henry Brown, Henry Brown will
bring a tort action against Joe
Smith for the vaulc of his property
as of the date it was wrongfully
taken, and the name of the case
will be Henry Brown vs. Joe
Smith. If Joe Smith is indicted on
a criminal charge of larceny, the
name of the case will be: State
of North Carolina vs. Joe Smith.
In thr criminal action, Henry
Brown will very likely testify as
one of the witnesses of the State
of North Carolina against Joe
Smith. He cannot refuse to testify
against Joe Smith if he has been
subpocnocd as a witness, since it
is the State of North Carolina and
not Henry Brown that is bringing
the criminal action.
It will not be necessary for Hen
ry Brown to employ an attorney
in the criminal action. The solici
tor, on behalf of the state, prose
cutes criminal actions. However,
an attorney is sometimes employed
by one of the prosecuting witnesses
or some other interested party to
assist the solicitor in the prosecu
tion of the case. Such private
counsel frequently renders a val
uable service to the people of
North Carolina.
In a tort action against Joe
Smith, Henry Brown must employ
the attorney representing him in
the ease.
Is there a grand jury involved
in connection with a tort case tried
in the superior court?
No. In a criminal action a grand
jury finds probable cause prior to
the actual trial, whereas in a tort
or other type of civil action this is
not so.
