On Two All-County Teams
By FRANCES PINER
I Hi, folks! Now that basketball
season is over students are settling
down. We are very proud of our
I teams. Although they didn't win
I the eounty tournament, they still
placed second. This is really an
improvement for our boys, for last
year they were in last place.
A number of our boys and girls
made the All-County basketball
team. Representing the boys' team
are Curt Nelson, Dale Lewis. Brax
ton Piner, Carroll Hill, and Hor
ace Lawrence. Representing the
| girls' team are Carolyn Phelps,
Brenda Golden, Jean Willis, Sally
Hooper, Claudia Brown, and Rose
Arthur.
Well, it finally came, Julius Cae
' sar, that is. The high school was
privileged to view this excellent
I movie. Most of the feminine audi
ence especially admired Mark An
jthony, played by Marlon Brando.
| The movie made the play, by
j Shakespeare, clearer to us Shake
ispeare students.
I Thanks to Mrs. Willis and" her
| sophomore classes for bringing us
this treat!
I A number of juniors are eligible
to take the National Merit exam.
The test will be given in March.
The students eligible are Linda
Willis, Rose Arthur, Patsy Lewis,
Mike Harris, James Meares,
Eloise Marshburn, Ken Harm,
Wayne Willis, Genus Jones, and
Braxton Piner.
Good luck, students. Maybe you
will be brilliant enough to win one
of those scholarships offered by
the National Merit Foundation.
The National Merit scholarship
program is a nationwide search for
students who demonstrate extraor
dinary ability to benefit from a
college education.
Recently the third-year home
economics girls visited the Gold
Medallion home in Mitchell Vil
lage. Mrs. Coretta Cherry, home
economist for Carolina Power and
Light Co., guided the girls through
the home and pointed out all the
convenient and attractive features
in it.
The home economics classes
have been very active for the past
few weeks. About two weeks ago
the second year girls were study
ing refinlshing furniture in their
housing unit.
In connection with this study the
girls decided to refmish the table
tops in the home economics lab.
Hie past week they have been
busily at work removing the old
Tarnish, sandpapering, and apply
ing shellac and wax to the tables.
Although the smell of shellac was
not very pleasing, the results are
surely worth the work, for the ta
bles have a very pleasing and
shiny appearance.
The aroma of swiss steak, brown
ies, and freshly-baked pies ia very
mouth-watering. The third-year

home economics girls have been
busily cooking such delicious dish
es as a part of their cooking unit.
We are all sure they have enjoy
ed cooking, but it really has been
heart-breaking for us to have to
attempt to concentrate on other
lessons with these tantalizing
smells creeping into the classroom!
The first year home economics
girls are very excited about their
spring sewing unit, which begins in
m few weeks. Th?y really have a
reason to be, for the home eco
nomics lab is getting a new Singer
slant-o-matic sewing machine. Just
think of all those fancy stitches the
girls will be able to do on their
cotton outfits!
Preparations are being made for
a stunt night program, which is
to be given March 4. Each class
in the school has been busily at
work on its stunt. The program is
being sponsored by the grade moth
ers.
Miss Senior this week is Ann
Lewis, a Yankee turned Southern
er, for she was born at Staten Is
land, N. Y. December 20, 1942.

Skinner Chalk , Congressional
Candidate, Gives His Views
(Editor's Note: This is the second is ? serin of article* by Skinner
A. Chalk, candidate for congress from this connty. Mr. Ckalk sug

The United States is in a very
serious condition that needs a rad
ical cure? else it will continue to
decline in power and influence.
Its real strength is in its people,
and their strength comes from
God. The people must look to God
for their salvation and no o the
federal government. Once we put
our trust in government to solve
our problems, we are lost.
Our founding fathers realized the
dangers of a strong central gov
ernment and sought to prevent a
concentration of central power that
would overwhelm the individual.
Our leaders in the past have sold
our birthright for a mess of pot
tage.
1 am a Democrat, but not the
variety who thinks the sun rises
and sets in the federal government.
My position is that states' rights
come first, tariffs should be low,
agriculture should be developed
soundly and to the greatest pos
sible extent, and the budget bal
anced.
All my adult life I have studied
economics as a hobby. 1 hate false
economic policies like the cotton
farmer hates the boll weevil, or
the tobacco farmer hates black
shank The idea that the federal
government can run farming bet
ter than the farmer is a Commu
nist idea.
The whole program of raising
wheat you can't sell, consume, or
give away is irrational. The grow
ing of cotton for sale to foreign
manufacturers at 5 cents a pound
less than the federal government
will sell to domestic manufactur
ers is nonsense.
The government tells the little
man this program is for his bene
fit. It gives false hope to the small
farmer. He is encouraged to hang
on to an uneconomic arrangement
that impoverishes him economic

ally by holding down his income
and holds him down, spiritually,
by destroying his self respect. The
program pays the wealthy farmer
hundreds of thousands of dollars
and taxes non-farmers to do it.
This is a disgrace.
The Constitution doesn't set up
classes to receive special benefits;
in fact, it does exactly the oppo
site.
Now when did this deterioration
really, set in as a disease to under
mine the rights of states and the
individual?
It goes directly to the Republican
party and its first leader, Abraham
Lincoln. This is the party that
said the federal government call
ed the tune ? the states would dance
and pay for it.
I hate slavery. and all injustice,
but slavery existed in the states
when the federal government was
born. The horror of slavery was
being felt everywhere, and in time
the practice would have disappear
ed without bloodshed. The federal
government was impatient, so it
started a war that never should
have been fought. One injustice
does not cure another injustice.
The proof of this can be seen in
North Carolina. The terrible in
justice to the Negro in making him
a slave caused the sins of the fa
ther to be inflicted on the children
for many generations. It slowed
our economic growth.
The Civil War's end found the
same federal government shipping
carpetbaggers here who put in
places of responsibility the down
trodden Negro. This was an in
justice, because the Negro was not
prepared to assume responsibility.
He lacked education and training.
The people rose up against this
and. as a result, our very restric
tive and un-Christian attitudes
were continued. We insisted the
Negro was a second-class citizen
and were determined to make him
feel it by ostracizing him.
This un-Christian condition is
gradually moderating, and if the
Negro will continue to improve, in
time he will have that which he so
earnestly desires.
Many people think the Negroes
want to associate with the whites
just to have sometl ing to do. This
is not true. They want to get out
of the ditch. As George Washing
ton Carver said, "The only way
you can hold a man in a ditch is
to get in there with him."
We are coming to the point
where we look upon people with
out regard to color, but for their
inherent God-given qualities. This
is true of the Negro and the Rus
sian. Jesus said, "Love thy neigh
bor as thyself." He was asked,
"Who is my neighbor?" Jesus did
not define the word, but told the
story of the Good Samaritan.
The priest and the Levite pass
ed by the wounded man who had
been left to die by the robbers.
The Samaritan, who was a second
class citizen in the eyes of the
Jews, to whom Jesus was talking,
did what was right and proper.
He gave assistance and love to the
iniured.
Is the Negro my neighbor?
Is the Russian my neighbor?
We tend to identify individuals
with groups, which is t very seri
ous error. The Communists num
ber fewer than S per cent of the
Russian population. Most Rus
sians are like most Americans
just good people. All Communists
aren't evil. Some are Commun
ists because their parents were
Communists. They have known
nothing else. They are misguided,
Just as our forebears who thought
slavery was all right.
There is I new day dawning, and
with patience and love, the evil
persons will change. You are in
structed by the Bible to overcome
evil with good.
