ESTABLISHED JULY. Ml TSENA P. POX, EDITOR * PUBLISHER 4 MISS. *OS YOUNG, ASSOCIATE EDITOR THURMAN L. BROWN, SHOP MANAGER ARCHIE R BALLEW, PHOTOGRAPHER ft PRESSMAN PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY YANCEY PUBUSHINGICOMPANY SECOND CLASS POSTAGE PAH) AT BURNSVILLE, N. G THURSDAY, APRIL 25, INI NUMBER TARTY-FOUR _ SUBSCRIPTION RATES $3.00 PER YEAR OUT OF COUNTY SIOO PER YEAR Scene From Top O’ The Hill By: Jack Kelly Pres dent Johnson has drop ped his bomb-shell and left all of the political pund ts high and dry on their particular hllsides. According to all of the alleged “ n the-know” people, only a few of Johnson’s most intimate fiiends knew of h's proposed ac bon. That may well be but you can bet your, bottom dcltar that one of these most intimate fronds must have leaked the in humation to Bobby Kennedy, otherwise Bobby would never have announced his candidacy hr the big race. Bobby may be, and prcbably is. a lot of different th ngs, but one thing, he is not is stupid. Ergo, Bobby would not have thrown h's hat into the ring if he knew it would get kicked out. and if LBJ wanted to make a fight he could have garnered the nominatcn. Doubt less he would have lost the el ect on if the people felt strong against his war p -licy but he could have got'en the nomina ton. Bobby knew that and there fore would not have entered the lists aganst him if he hadn’t had infon atien that LBJ would become a dropout. Personally, I am happy that I bad left Washington before the Johnson speech because I know that on the next day there was no work done in that far c'ty by any Government employee. Pi: tie pec pie trust have just stood around and talked. Larger people schemed about how they would get on the “band wagon" of Bobby Kennedy. Then, any one who made ten thousand bucks or more -a year knew what to do, they got out their check bcxks and proceeded to write out a donation to “insure good two party system of Govern n cat.”' That's the way you make out a check for a polit cal contribution when you work for the Government and you do not wish to get indicted for violat ing the Hatch Act. So what happens now? of perple wll want the nominalim on either ticket. The Republicans are a little b t more fpen n this regard than are the Democrats. Rockefeller can now s art spending to get the nomi na ton against Nixon, and that is about “it". No other Repub lean, including Reagan, has a chance. Lots of people will feel that I am wrong and that Gov ernor Ronald Reagan has a w'nderful chance both for the nominat’on and the election. However, Reagan knows better. Reagan knows that, at thia mir.ute, people are compil ng the “dirty" book on him. This mysterious book will have a rundown on the Cal forma Gov ernor from the time he was horn to the moment he comes to the Convention. It will list things that the good mat bat furgcMen. It will cover his tears in Hollywood and eacn sod ev ery faltering step he ever took will be underlined and annotated chapter and verse. Reagan knows that anyone who has been around Hollywood as long as he has, well, there just might be a step or two that would lie better left unrecorded. Further, he knows that he won’t have to wait for the Democrats to hit him wth it, his fellow Repub licans wll use it to block him, if they can. The Democrats will have, ; n addition to Kennedy and Mc- Carthy, poir Hubert Humphry. Hubert will be in bad shape no ma'ter what happens or who endorees him. Off-hand, at first glance, it would appear that a Johnson endorsement would prove benefic’al to him but would it? Might not people re flect and f gure that Hubert would, like Johnson, be more of the same? If Johnson stated that Hubert had helped him make decia'one, might that not be damning him wth faint praise? Conversely, if Hubert backed off. from Johnson and emulated Sa nt Peter by ex claiming “I know net the man,” m ght not people feel that he was a turncoat against his boss and thus unworthy for the big position? This sort of figuring leaves, as of now, Bobby Kennedy. Bobby can’t make it alone. His juvenile followers do not have the vot ng right so we can for get them. We have to wonder who his runn'ng mate would be. For sure, it would have to be a Southerner. That thought opens many doors. No one in his right mind would attempt to pck that man at this time. How ever, as the webks pass, other potential candidates will flower on the horizon and we w II he able to take a good look at them. As we mentioned back in June of last yeai;. “w th John son out of the picture we will have a ‘hoss’ race.” As of now, George Wallace seems to have strengthened his pos tion more than anyone on the political scene. Old George could prove a contentious con tender who might, politics being what t is, end up as the Vice Presdential Candidate on even the Republican Ticket. / If you are wondering about the practicality of those glam orous stockings with the gold or silvery glitter, relax.'

Teenagers Act The Way They Do Because They Live In The 1960’s Raleigh if you iu a par •ot, ever wondered why your teenagers act the way they do, thia reminder from Frances Jor dan, extens on family relations specialist, North Carolina State University, m ght answer your question. “Teenagers act the way they do because the? live in the 1960’5, because they are your ch ldren and because they are unique personalities," the spec ialist asserts. What’s dfferent about living in the 1960'g? The 15-year-old of today was born in 1953. He has never knownj a world at peace, only cold war, uncertainty and international insecurity. He has never known a United States in depression. He 1 ves in a world wRh more earning power, more things to buy and more pres sure to buy diem. He lives in a mcney minded world. Today’s teenager lives in a world of opportunity, but he al so I ves in a world of choices. There are so many choices to make. Not just things ,to buy, but what to do with his time and energy. Just th'nk of all the careers that didn’t exist when you were a teenager, about all the activities and plac es to go that weren’t ava'lable 20 years ago. Your teenager's pressures and choices are lar different from what yours were at that age. Teenagers act the way they do because they are your children, Miss Jordan adds. While <t is true that schools, churches and other groups and mass media have influence on your child ren, the fact stll remains that parents are the greatest single influence. The basic values, what your teenagers believe is most important, they learned from you. They copy your strengths and weaknesses. Often they ad the way they do be cause you taught them to act that way. Teenagers are people with in dividual differences, Mss Jor dan adds. There are instances when your teenager acts the way he does because he is an individual. He is not like any one else in the world. He is re acting to the way he is; the way he was put together. He is resjrtmd ng to his phyr'aal, men tal, social and emotional make- up and he is responding on the basis of h's own experiences. Together these make him the personality he is, Mias Jordan brieves.
