CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES Carterat Comity'* N? EDITORIALS TUESDAY, JUNE Step Toward Improvement Restaurant operators and waitresses who participated in the recent Travel Host school have made a big stride to ward improving the service and courte sies to visitors in this area. Perhaps their example will lead those in other businesses to take more interest in such schooling. The Travel Host school conducted here in May by the county sanitation department and Morehead City cham ber of commerce, in cooperation with state agencies, was part of a state-wide program to promote travel in North Carolina by serving better food, pro viding better accommodations and bet ter service so that travelers will stay longer and come back often. This year's school was much more successful than the first that was at tempted in this area. Operators of all types of businesses, managers of stores, gas station attendants and others in constant contact with the public were invited to enroll. The program evidently encompassed tpo much for a first-time attempt. At tendance was mighty slim. At this year's school, attention was centered on waitresses and restaurant operators. It was most successful. Sixty-nine per sons were present at one or more of the five sessions. The instructors have written several persons in this area, since they have left, commending our restaurant op erators on their good food and service. Mr. Nick Galantis of the Busy Bee res taurant, Morehead City, who was one of two men to attend the school, re ceived letters from all three instructors, Marley M. Melvin, training specialist with the Department of Public Instruc tion Raleigh; Mrs. Mary Ellen Booker and Mrs. Rae Furtado, instructors with the department of distributive educa tion, State College. The Travel Host schools are avail able to communities all over the state. The schools in the Wilmington area this year were most successful. As the Wilmington News commented, "In an area such as ours where resort busi ness represents a large segment of the overall business life, there is a continu ing effort to improve the service and attractions for visitors. It is a matter of good business to stay abreast, if not set the pace, in this highly competitive business." Many places in North Carolina are attractive to travelers. The whole east ern seaboard has the Atlantic ocean. What WE do with what WE have will determine what proportion of the va cation-travel business we get. Travel Host schools, good attendance when they're conducted, and interest in the schools by all who meet the traveling public will assure us increas ing travel business. Congratulations, Jaycees Beaufort and Morehead City Jay cee? merit congratulations on a fine beauty pageant and deserve commen dation for initiating the Miss Carteret County beauty title. A Miss Carteret was bound to be the happy result of evolution in this beauty contest business. While we think all our girls are pretty, sometimes within the separate confines of Beaufort and Morehead City there just wasn't beau ty enough for competition on a state basis. Eventually, there was the move to go beyond the town limits to find a repre sentative to go to the state pageant. Thus, last year, a Newport girl wore the title, Msis Beaufort, and brought credit both to her hometown and Beau fort. . Even though the prizes offered in the contests are most enticing, it's some times difficult to find girls to enter the contest and Jaycees would find them selves with just two or three contest ants. Some girls don't realize how much they can learn in poise and charm, just by association with other contestants. The "county" pageant gives every girl living in Carteret an opportunity to compete. Joining of the Beaufort and Morehead City Jaycees in sponsor ship permits an attractive, large pa geant' while separate sponsorship of a pageant by each organization has oc casionally turned into a somewhat in sipid affair. Contestants in this year's pageant should share in the praise for a suc cessful event. Without them, there could have been no pageant. Their re spective communities should be proud of them. Especially do we congratulate the first Miss Carteret County, Norma Jean Ingram. We wish her Good Luck at Charlotte, and whether she cops a prize or not, here's hoping she has a good time, as well as shows the rest of the state that Carteret has its share of pretty, talented girls. Phillippine Barong (Christian Science Monitor) Like a character in an American car toon strip some years ago, the Filipino high office holder seems bent on prov ing that he "wears no man's collar." During the more than a decade of in dependence of the Philippine Islands, the barong tagalog has become an item of national dress, in vogue for the most formal occasions. The barong (no, not sarong) is a man's shirt, open at the neck, worn out side the trousers, made of pineapple fiber or some other sheer material, and oftimes elaborately embroidered. It is the traditional garment of the Taga logs, the people of Luzon, the largest Philippine Island. The wearing of the barong has be come an expression of nationalism. It began with Manuel Roxas, later Presi dent of the Philippine Republic, even before the granting of independence . in 1946. It attained complete accept ance when the highly popular Presi dent Ramon Magsaysay was inaugu rated in a barong in 1953. The Philippine barong may deserve a place with the Scottish kilt, the Ukranian blouse, the Turkish fez or the Bavarian lederhosen as a mark of indi viduality. Also, in a tropical climate or for summertime wear it has the com fort and practicality of a Hawaiian sport shirt with perhaps a more subtle artistry. Would Filipinos be offended if a few residents of Memphis, Hous ton or Washington should blossom out in barongs this July? A vacation is a succession of 2's. It consists of 2 weeks, which are 2 short. Afterwards, you are 2 tired 2 return 2 work and 2 broke not 2. -r 1 Carteret County N?ws-Tim?s WINNER OF NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION AND NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCIATION AWARDS A Merger of The Beaufort New.

Under Act of March t, 1*? 1 SECOND GROWTH Ruth P? ling Marl Dust Better Than Dirt. Sand? Sometimes I wonder why people c want streets marled. The marl dust t couldn't be any better than dirt < and sand. Marl is on the ap- i proaches to the lovely new Calico J Creek bridge. To be sure, it's there temporarily, but the grinding of < wheels over the marl makes a 1 white dust that is carried by the wind and sifted over every grow ing thing in the area. We always used to fuss hack home in Pennsylvania about the dust from the stone quarries put ting a white gritty film over every thing. Marl dust is exactly the same. But anyhow, the bridge is attrac tive and a big improvement over the old one. The school year of 1959 60 is be hind us. The North Carolina Edu cation magazine, recently printed "Yesteryear's Do's and Don'ts for Teachers," which teachers may have time to chuckle over along about now: Any teacher who may feel that < she leads a fishbowl existence to- ] iay might do well to look at the wo lists below. The first list, un covered by Lionel Orlikow, Winni ng teacher, was contained in a > 1923 Idaho teacher's contract. The contract stated that a tcach ;r would be paid $5 a month pro viding she met certain conditions, rhese included: 1. Don't get married, and don't keep company with men. 2. Don't be away from home be tween the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. 3. Don't loiter in ice crcam par lors. 4. Don't smoke cigarettes, and don't drink beer, wine or whis key. 5. Don't IcaVe town without per mission. 6. Don't ride in a carriage or au tomobile with any man except your father or brother. 7. Don't dress in bright colors, dye your hair or use facc powder, mascara or lipstick. The second list, Rules for Teach ers, was posted by a principal in 1872 in the city of New York. Free Wheeling By BILL CROWELL Department of Motor Vehicles GOOD PRACTICE A steady diet of "moderate driving" is rec ommended for a healthy, happy existence on North Carolina high ways. Moderate driving, if you don't know, means driving neither too fast nor too slow and in keeping with state speed limits, the traf fic flow and weather conditions. Whether you're a dyed-in-the-wool speeder or a chronic slow poke it's likely that sooner or later that law they call average will catch up with you. Or maybe a highway patrolman. In the Motor Vehicles Depart ment computers tell us that "driv ing too fast for conditions" is not only the leading cause of fatal crack-ups, but also is a contribut ing factor in a host of other traf fic mishaps. Slow drivers, too, account for their share of the accidents. But of the two classes, speeders arc by far the most dangerous and produce the deadliest accidents. The proof? Well, last year there were 1,005 death-dealing traffic mishaps in North Carolina, 438 of them caused by speeding. The best recommendation for speeders is ? don't I Abnormally slow drivers tend to hamper the traffic flow, particu larly on mainline thoroughfares, and cause congestion. They can set up an accident by creating a "blow the top" atmosphere among driv ers all along the line of traffic. Sightseers or others who prefer to amble along should confine their trips to lesser traveled roads. Those with mechanical trouble and trying to make a garage should keep to the right as far as possible and wave other cars around. Moderate driving is a practical way to cut down the accident toll. It means pacing your driving to traffic around you, gearing your speed to prevailing road and wea ther conditions. A good rule of the thumb has been coined by Highway Patrol Sgt. Lloyd Burchette who pilots No. 1, the state's handsome of ficial limousine. "If on the open road many cars arc passing you, then probably you're traveling too slow. And if you arc passing many cars, chances are you're go ing too fast," says Burchette. As a further incentive, keep in mind that moderate driving is much less fatiguing and adds much to your motoring pleasure. SUDDEN THAWT . . . Money may make the marc go but the installment plan runs the cars. FABLE ... A mule and one of of the small cars met one day on the highway and stood for some time looking at each other. Fi nally, the mule said, "I beg your pardon, but I'm a horse. May I ask what you arc?" The small car replied, "I'm an automobile." Whereupon both laughed heartily. the good old days TTORTY YEARS AGO The Beaufort Fire department saved the Bcaufort-Mcrrimon road from being burned up when the peat beds on either side of the road caught fire. Miss Fanny Pake and William A. Mace Jr., graduated from Beaufort high school with respec tive averages of 95 and 92 Vi. TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO Morehead City was chosen as the site for the Carolina Fisherman's Sclf-Hclp Cooperative. County commissioners asked the state highway and public works division to construct a bridge across Old Canal, near the Ball brothers farm and on the road continuing on to Bachelor. ' Halsey and Grayden Paul had made improvements on their ga rage and machinc shop. They had installed new offices and construct ed a large display room. TEN YEARS AGO Mrs. Lionel Gillikin was the county's first woman juror. Beaufort's town limits were ex tended to include the school and businesses several hundred feet cast on Lennoxville Road. FIVE YEARS AGO Henry Carraway, 75-year-old farmer of Merrimon. was selected county fatbcr-of-thc-ycar. The Cedar Island beach fishing pier and Driftwood motel at Cedar Island opened over the weekend. A gasoline price war that drop ped to a new low g ( 25.9 cents a gallon was making motorists hap P* 1. Teachers each day will fill lamps, clcan chimneys and trim wicks. 2. Each teacher will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the day's session. 3. Make your pens carefully. You may whittle nibs to the indi vidual taste of pupils. 4. Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go to church reg ularly. 5. After ten hours in school, the teachers spend the remaining time reading the Bible or other good books. 6. Women teachers who marry or engage in unseemly conduct will be dismissed. 7. Every teacher should lay aside from each pay a goodly sum of his earnings for his benefit during his declining years so that he will not become a bur den on society. t. Any teacher who smokes, uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls, or gets shaved in a barber shop will give good reason to suspect his worth, intentions, integri ty, and honesty. It's not safe to say today what you will or won't do tomorrow, but I'm willing to make this predic tion: this year is the last year that Bonnie Blue Sweetheart will be presented for some time to come. We appreciate everyone's coop eration in making this year's pro duction possible. In addition to a most willing and excellent cast, there was a tremendous amount of preliminary and backstage work done by a handful of people. Under 21 =SSSL Words of Inspiration to srr VALUES Children are great imitators. And during their early years, the ex ample of their parent! is the strongest influence in shaping their per sonality and behavior. Not only do children tend to pick up thier parents' moral values and standards of conduct, but they also take on their prejudices and intol erances. The child who Is taught to do tasks well and to get along with others has a good measure of protection againat any juvenile delinquency. For the delinquent ia frequently an unhappy child who has been steadily neg lected by parents who are too busy. To know a child's needs, parents should spend time with them. A child whose parents give generously of their time is less likely to de velop problems. There is no substitute for the feeling that a child gets from his parents. ? The Grit CHILD GUIDANCE I must not interfere with my child, 1 hsve been told; to bend his will to mine or try to shape him through some mold of thought. Naturally as a flower he must unfold. Yet flowers have the discipline of wind and rain, and though I know it gives the gsrdener much pain, I've seen him use his pruning shears to gain more strength and beauty for some blossoms bright. And he would do whatever he thought right. I do not know; yet it seems to be that only weeds unfold naturally. The lectures you deliver may be very wise and true, But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you do; For 1 may misunderstand you and the high advice you give, But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live. HOW TO FAIL afraid Complain Exaggerate Be sarcastic Be a glutton Be conccitcd Scorn advice Procrastinate Be different Praise no one Be a pessimist Repeat rumors Ridicule others Break promises Refuse to learn Travel the ruts Keep late hours Neglect your health Evade responsibility Be a chronic grouch Work without a plan Always have an excuse Do as little as possible Be a chronic borrower Think that you will fail Give your temper full play Spend more than you make Blame your errors on others. RAIN'S MY CHOICE It ain't no use to grumble and complain; It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice; When God sorts out the weather and sends rain. Why, rain's my choice. ? James Whitcomb Riley From the Pulpit All over America thousands of college students have come home for the summer. Also several hun dred thousand students have Just finished high school. At this mo ment the world has taken little note of this group but within a very short span of years our coun try will be largely in the hands of these young people. What kind of leadership will we get from them? This depends al most entirely on the religious training they are receiving, or ig noring and their attitude toward their Creator and His Church. I Youngster Wonders If His Handicap Bothers Girls By DAN HALUGAN Dear Dan: I suffered an injury when I was a child and as a result my right leg is about two inches shorter than my left and 1 have to wear a special shoe. I've alwaya been self-conscious even though I should know most of my problem is in my head. I try to be Just like any high school junior and join in all the activities but I can't. Last week I finally got up the courage to ask a girl out and we went dancing at the school can teen. I don't dance very well and the girl didn't help matters when she complained about being tired and not wanting to dance more than twice with me. She was very cold when we said goodnight and for the past few days at school has barely spoken. She isn't my problem, Dan, but I'm wondering if it will be that way with every girl I take out. If I thought so, I'd just quit trying to date. Maybe you can't help me but I feel better writing this letter. Thanks for reading it.? J. S. - Dear J. S.: As you said, I can't help you but I can remind you of the proverb about the man who was sorry for himself becauae he had no shoes until he saw the man who had no feet. Not all girls can be expected to generate 100 per cent enthusiasm on a date and just because your date didn't isn't any reason to believe all girls will treat you the same way. I'm sure if . you'U let yourself have a good time, you will. I'm just as positive that your friends don't consider you as handicapped or "differeM," so why should you? President Franklin t>. Roosevelt was stricken with a severe ease of polio while he was still a young man but be didn't allow that to ?top Itlm from leading a full and vigorous life. Dear Dan: What arc the chances of a girl becoming a succcssful model? Can you give a girl any tips toward getting started in such a career? ? June Graduate. Dear June Graduate : I don't have any available figures but I would say the chances for a girl becoming a model, let alone a successful one, are very, very re mote. With all due respect to the modeling field, I think as it is in so many career fielda, a newcomer standa a better chance of at least getting started by having someone on the inside who will offer some professional help. Take the case of sons and daugh ters of movie atars. Some of them say they change their names be cause they don't want to succeed on their parents' reputations but you can be sure Mama and Papa are backstagc pulling the influen tial strings. Dear Daa: Three of us girls were out riding around with two older boys the other night. The driver was stopped for speeding and while the police officer was talk ing to him, he discovered both boys had open cans of beer on the floor of the front seat. Anyway, he charged us all with having al coholic beverages in the car and we girla didn't know anything about it. We kad to appear before our juvenile commissioner, with the resist we got a good bawling out aad the entire school knows about it. We've told our parents the facts but they said they weren't goMg to do anything because it was a good lesson for us. We don't think so and 'KOiild like to have your opinion.?1 Three Non-Drinkers. Dear Nat-Driakers: Personally, wish it were possible to impress upon all their minds the impor tance of a religious faith. A person who docs not know God does not know life and is in adequately prepared, regardless of the degrees he or she might have. I would like to illustrate what a difference this faith makes by giv ing the result of a social study made by an organization some time back. An attempt was made to go back and trace the descend ants of men who lived in the 1700's. One man was Mak Jukes and the other Jonathan Edwards. Max Jukes of New York state was like manv todav? he had very little to do with religion. Of 1.026 of his descendants studied. 300 died prematurely. 100 served an average of 13 years in the peni tentiary. 190 became oublic prosti tutes, 100 were drunkards. It is estimated they cost the state a total of $1,200,000 and made no contribution to society. The other man studied. Jonathan Edwards, was a Chritsian minis ter whose descendants made a great contribution to our land. Of the 729 descendants, 65 were col lege professors. 300 preachers, 13 residents of universities, 60 be came authors of notable books. 3 became US Congressmen and 1 be came vice-president of the United States. Only one, Aaron Burr, left a blot on the record. How imoortant a faith in God Is to us. What our world needs is Christian leaders to go out into the world, tomorrow. ? B. L. Davidson. Pastor First Methodist Church Morehead City Smile a While In a popular Russian anecdote, little Ivan is being asked by the teacher to describe America. "America," says Ivan, "is the country where workers arc exploit ed by capitalists and are starving to death." "Excellent," says teacher. "Now tell us the chief aims of the new seven-year plan." "To catch up with America," replies little Ivan. ?The Reporter I think the officer over-stepped his authority. If the boy had wreck ed the car, would the officer have charged all five of you with reck less driving? True, teen-agers do need lessons at times but not in the caae you mention. If I were you, I certainly wouldn't let the matter rest. If your parents won't back you up, talk to your princi pal, tell him the facta and see what help he will offer. i
