Nobody Cares Much About It
During World War 1, when the Brit
ish buffered nearly a million dead, i
staff officer assembled < a group of
yoyng second lieutenants and with an
air of finality informed them, "Yon are
a war generation. You ware bora to
Cght thi? war, and it's got to be *on ?
ifre're determined that you shall win it.
80 'far as you're concerned sis individ
uals, it doesn't matter a tinker's damn
whether you are killed or not. Most
probably you will be killed, m6?t of
you. So mak,e up your minds to H-"
In just a litis over a half century,
from I960 to 1962, the United States
lost a million citizens in auto accidents.
By 1976, at the present, rate, the second
million will have been killed.
We are an auto generation. And ?nr
present trend of thinking seems paral
lel to the British officer. We've grown
accustomed to the idea that accidents
are the inevitable by-product of our
ever-expanding mobility.
. Individually we are much like the
> 1 . ?
young English officers, thrown into the
cannon's maw. Well not be missed nor
mourned except by those fclOse to us.
In Wholesale lota, Bke the 1,080 killed
last year in North Carolina, these
deaths produce some faint cries. But
the protests arc rather like thoee of the
conscientious Objectors of both World
Wars ? Ignored.
So three-quarters of a million of us
must die In traffic by 1974.
, when all-out war threatens to en*
gulf the nation's existence, the people
cad accept casualties. We did in 1918,
again In World War IL
It is hard, to underetand then why
unnecessary killing is tolerated. It's
hard to underetand why we permit au
tomobiles to cut down thousands in
North Carolina, millions in the nation.
Like In war, when everyone is threat
ened everyone has a responsibility for
defense.
But traffic continues to exact its toll
? and we don't five a "tinker's damn."

PM|??phir's Wiry
"Journal of a Scienhcian" (Phil
osophieal Utrsry, 195T) is Piero
Mpdlgliani't effort to communicate
eif the philosophical plane.
Although ah Americtn citizen,
he it itill in many ways part of
the gentle, artiatic, intellectual
Italian nobiHty. ile ia charming.
He ia fanciful. He is kind. At the
tame time, at a seientician, which
it what he it, he it observing, at
tentive and particular about cer
tain things and aapecta.
Sometimes hit wit it wise, tome
timet hilarious At other timet, hit
a Italians art to vague that we are
again sharply reminded of the fact
that It ia very difficult to tell peo
ple something they do not already
ltS0W
And that it worth thinkiqg about.
We very much enjoy clever,
astute, or otherwise attractive ren
ditions of famOiar ideas. Especial
ly If w? are not at dear about
them ourtdvet is we would like
to be.
But when we must think very,
very hard and apply ourselves
severely to tallow the track of
soneone't Mind, we get earelets.
then, because we have not fal
lowed clotoly, we csnnot appre
ciate the art of the' artitt involved.
The tame thing that gave Modig
liani cause to write? lack of a com
panion to talk to? will cause read
ers to ton short of being the com
panion to write to.
Read sympathetically, hit fuel
ful tales have visible values Not
(hit sny of U is weri^ihattb*.
But it is human, and like ourselvee.
Not apparently very Important, bvt
awfully real and of consequence
because of that.
And he offers to us such interest
ing ideas as this:
"Planck's equation for the quan
tum theory is this: E equals vh,
in which E is energy, v velocity,
and h a constant which changes
very little.
"Einstein's equation, al every
body knows, is E eqaals s?2, i?
which E is still energy, m stands
for mass and c is the speed of
light.
"Let as start with E eqaals vh,
where E stands for the energy
used by man to support himself
and his fellow travelers on earth,
v lit the velocity of circulation of
people and things, and h for human
nature, which is a constant which
changes very little.
"This equation describes better
than say long Story an economic
condition of a certain place at a
certain time."
Using Einstein's equation, he
aays, "E is still the same energy
we just described. But h, the hu
man constant, has been replaced
by as (maaa), which in eootiophy
sics represents material things in
circulation at a certain speed . . .
So c is only the maxlntam velocity
at which things can circulate at a
certain stage at technological and
economic progress . .

the money for the palaee restora

by the General Aaaembly."
Mr. Huskins continues: "Nor are

Carteret County Health Department. He smiles as he completes We Vf?
school shots. Keith will preseot a record of his shots at the pre Irhssl
clinic at Beaufort School Friday, April 17, at 1 p.m.
Our North Carolina state law requires that children be lmmiitlised
against diphtheria and whoop
ing cough at the age of six
months and a booster dose be
fore entering first grade. Many
doctors give a booster dose of
diphtheria, whooping cough, tet
anus (triple shot) each year.
This keeps up their immunisa
tion against tetanus and makes
it unneceaaary to give tetanus
anti-toxin in case the child la
severely cut or sticks a nail in
his foot.
Smallpox and polio immuni
zations are also required.
Parents have had six years
to complete these immanizatlons
and it was felt best by school :
and medical authorities to dis
continue shots on pre-school
day, thus making it a happy
day for the new students.
Birth certificates must be
presented on pre-school day. A
record of your child's shots
(diphtheria, whooping cough,
smallpox and polio) are re
quired by the school before a
child can enter first grade.
These can be obtained from
the one who gives the immuniza
tion, your family doctor or your
health department.

BOYS' RANCH FOUNDER LISTS CHILD REARING PRINCIPLES
A boy needs parents, not push-overs, according to Cat Farley, founder
of Boya' Ranch at Amarillo, Tex.
The principles of rearing a boy are "dcccptivcly simple. Maybe
that'a why they are so easily forgotten ... or not properly learned."
Farley said in Today's Health, published by the American Medical
Association.
Boys' ranch accommodates 220 youngsters and is expanding its facili
ties for another 500. In 20 years, 1,400 boys . . . most from homes broken
by family trouble or death . . . have lived at the ranch. About 40 per
cent of the boys were in some kind of trouble with the law and the
others were headed that way.
Only 37 boys were failure*, Farley said. The ranoh has ns special
disciplinary staff member. Every adult has authority over a boy while
with him.
"This way the boy learns to respect and obey all adults. Equally im
portant, when a boy step* out of line we correct him immediately,"
Farley said. "Just keep boys on the beam, supervise and teach them
until they finally understand and they'll turn out okay."
Farley listed the five guiding rules for rearing boys at Boys' Ranch.
They arc:
Teaching the boy to obey. This is the most difficult job and the moat
important. When a child is allowed to set his own rules be will grew
up without any rulea at all.
Llvtag with the boy. By helping him to enjoy his youth, he can be
shown how his boyhood years can be used to equip himself for manhood.
Being specific with the boy. Adults should let him know where they
stand . . . and therefore where he itaads. Then he la not confuacd by
doubt, uncertainty or conflict.
Giving him rrsponitbiiity. By making a boy feel part of the working
team at the ranch (or at home), ho will understand how to be part of
the team in whatever sphere of life he enters.
Loving him. The boy must be shown that love can't be measured Jrf
what one gets or gives but in how one conducts himself. It it ? kind of
mutual respect.

a subject, ao to speak. Here we
can help you, guiding you to novels
about the American Revolution, the
Civil War, World War II or India,
China, Russia, or what ever your
Interest li at the moment.
A goodly portion of these 19.000
volumes are non-fiction: history,
biography, the arts, religion,
science, literature etc. In choosing
these we can indeed help you. You
may need material for a talk on
some particular subject, or you
may need a book that will be of
use to you in your work. We will
help you locate what you need and
if we do not have the specialized

These films are not on file in the

Project. A handbook of the films

Carteret County Public library.
These films are available to all
adult groups including the PTA,
but are not available for school
use, inasmuch as the schools have
their own method of obtaining
films. There is no charge for the
use of these films. Come in and
look through the handbook and lee
what la available.
For those who live in Newport,
the county library has a branch
