NUMBER 51 TRENTON, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1964 VOLUME XV First Citizens Bank Asks Permission to ^ Open in Pollocksville A petition has been filed with the North Carolina Banking Com mission by the First Citizens Bank and Trust Company of Smithfield asking permission to open a bank in Pollocksville. Four years ago First Citizen? and Branch Banking and Trust Com- j pany both applied for permission to open an office in Pollocksville! and the banking commission never, acted on either application. First Citizens has had a branch office for many years in Maysville arid Branch Bank has operated much longer in' Trenton. Pollocks- j vflle has been without banking ser vice since the thirties.

School Board Dilemma: To Spank Or Not To Spank Ichool boards from time to time their ulcers in a knot trying to i a "policy-1 that is both work The Kinston School Board next Tuesday night is expected to take up where it left off at its last meet ing with the question of how far the teacher or principal should go 'in trying to discipline undisciplined children. This has been a point of debate ever since schools were begun, and it likely will continue so long as schools exist. The point is aggravated with each passing year by the fact that more kids are in school, less able teach ers have to be used by administra tors because of the teacher short age and, no doubt, to some de gree by the fact that parents main tain much less discipline over their sons and daughters than in - the teacher, who despite every effort to build her into a "methodological” conformity still remains one with the passions of an individual. So setting up an iron-clad policy is next to impossible, but neverthe less it is a job that school boards have to go to the mat with from time 'to time. Recently after students had de liberately disobeyed a direct order a teacher in the local system took a paddle which she had “inherited” with" her desk and “layed on” with "vigah”; much to the amazement of the possessors of those unruly bottoms and somewhat to the chag rin of their parents. So parents put the matter, at some length, to the school board, and the school board labored until the wee small hours in an effort to placate the parents and forestall future sessions of this land. Fo'r those who are not charged the responsibility answers first.* Another says, “I prefer to do my own spanking and will do it if the school officials let me know of the need of it.” Still another, “I do not believe in physical punishment. I believe there are better ways to punish a child than to spank it.” This is generally the parent whose child gets the bottom-warming at school But the consensus of most par ents, and most school officials is that the school should not be call ed upon to teach discipline to stu dents. That this is the duty of the parent and should be exercised by no one else. But what if the parent, or guard ian fails, or refuses to accept this responsibility? Again the consensus is that such an undisciplined child should be expelled from school, and re-ex' pelled until such time as the par ents or guardian can be brought to their senses and made to accept responsibilities. , ' ^ of course, gets back to the human side of the argument; that a teacher or principal does not mind expelling the child of a ditch-dig ger (if there remain any), hut ex pulsion of the child of a promi nent citizen is a considerably dif ferent proposition.” But what about the education of the student whose parents either cannot or will not accept this re sponsibility of disciplinary action even under any'cricumstances ? Such a parent should have the child removed from its custody. This is harsh talk, but ultimate ly to every undisciplined citizen there does come a day of reckon ing, whether it is as a juvenile de linquent or as an adult criminal; that time will come when society no longer can afford the luxury of being damaged by the person who believes that school rules and pub lic laws are made for others to abide by. Whether it is best, and most ec onomic to begin this process in elementary school or in reform school seems to be fairly well an swered by those closest to the pro blem, who declare : 'If the child is not changed before its teen years it will never be changed.” Every power of our society, es pecially including publicity should be brought to bear on the parents who are alerted to the problem of controlling their children, and who then refuse to accept this respon sibility. But the parent, even so, should not be put completely at the mercy of the totally incorrig ible child. Sufficient safeguards ought to exist to force the parent to do all that is reasonably expected in the effort to rear chlidren who will be come good ciitzens, but at the same time parents in particular and so ciety as a whole ought to not lose sight of the fact that there are ai few — very few children who are psychologically disturbed and for whom medical care may be the only answer. But the average brat can be' brought into line and quickly with out the psychiatrist’s couch with the fiim application of the right kind of medicine to the proper parts of said child’s anatomy.
