SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 1943 Both Have The Same Idea Dr. Francis P. Gaines, president of Washington and Lee University, speaking in Ilaleigh at the North Caro lina Education association, and T. L. Grier, of Raleigh, field representative of the State Board of Charities and Public welfare, speaking in Roxboro to the Person Coun ty Council of Social agencies, have, from different angles, a common approach to one of our post-war pro blems “education for social responsibility”. The words quoted are from Dr. Gaines, but Mr. Grier had the same thing in mind when he told the Person Social Agencies group that its function as a community body is largely one involving education of the communi ty conscience so that best work can be done by welfare and social service units. Grier carried the suggestion further by saying that social service is now a part of the world pattern and that leaders of nations now talk as freely about social service for the world as they once did about territorial rights. Grier is correct, too, in thinking that public welfare emphasis must once again come home to the counties and states and that in North Carolina, tradition for this return has never been forgotten, is, in fact at bottom of the plan. Gaines on the other hand, sounds a chal lenge that ought not to be forgotten when he reminds educators and teachers that knowledge, of itself, is not enough, and that people who have claims to education must because of that education carry a continuing sense of responsibility for their fellowmen. Too Neat The News and Observer’s “Under the Dome” column was responsible the other day for saying that Senator Robert Rice Reynolds will not run again; that Senator Bailey is planning to resign and that if he does Governor Broughton “will also resign and will be succeeded by Lieutenant Gov. R. L. Harris, who will appoint Brough t ton to the Senate”. This would be a neat solution, and a catapulting of Person’s favorite son into the Governor’s chair that | r would meet with favor hereabouts. But, trouble is the I whole story was nothing but the Dome’s way of saying, “April Fool.” The Lieutenant Governor may reach the Executive Mansion sdme day, but it will not be by such an easy stage as that suggested by the Dome. Furthermore, he would not want it to be that easy. “The State With A Future” Now on display in Service Club roofms in North Caro- ! lina’s many Army camps are State Department of Con servation and Development bulletins with the title, ( “North Carolina, the State With a Future”. In the bul letin is a handy digest of facts and figures and histori cal information pertaining to the State. Ostensibly, the pamphlet is intended as a good will ambassador, one to be sent by the soldiers, sailors and - marines stationed here to their parents, relatives and . girl friends in other and less fortunate States in the • union. The idea is right and we thoroughly approve of letting the rest of the forty-seven know about us. Rub is that there must be within her borders plenty of North Carolinians who have as much need of the pamphlet as do the foreigners. North Carolina is definitely a State “with a future”, • but the citizens who should be most certain of that fact ought to be the ones who live here. , ■ - , ■■ ~■ . Hfr ~ Tire reliners 53.45 up.

Roxboro and Person County’s Red Cross War Fund is officially at an end, with something like $9,200 con tributed, a good and safe margin above the $6,600 quota. Campaign chairman S. M. Ford, not to speak of publicity director W. Wallace 'Woods, and his secretary Miss Dorothy Taylor, along with the campaign teams and the school workers and citizens generally, deserve some sort of back-slapping) byway of commednation. All of theim helped to make the drive what it was, a success. * We just hope folks hereabouts will remember that success the next time they are called upon to contri bute to a worthy cause. Any less response in the fu ture will be out of place. That is what comes of setting a high standard and Teaching it. WITH OTHER EDITORS Discoverer Wronged Greensboro Daily News Announcement from Washington that Jonathan Daniels has been added to President Roosevelt’s ad ministrative staff as a “fact finder” meets with appro val in this quarter. Mr. Daniels is an alert, openfaced sort of person who is capable of looking a fact squarely in the eyes, and there has never been a time when the head of the American government stood in greater need of assistance from those who, if they must be career men, have had a hand in working out their own salva tion. There may have been deeper and broader men of Tar Heel affairs than the one who for a couple of presiden tial terms gave the Raleigh News and Observer the best editorial page in its history; but in spite of his willingness to write a trifle too dogmatically about fel low citizens whose minds he has not fully fathomed Jonathan Daniels is both tough and terse mentally and should help greatly in acquainting his chief with what is on some of the more active minds of the south. We hope, too, that he will be delivered from press association by-liners such as Frank I. Weller, of the AP, who in a decidedly eulogistic bit vouchsafed the view that though “born a patrician, he pals around with plebians.”' It is unfair to one who discovered the south to at tempt to turn him inside-out and call attention to a vermiform appendix which his frienda and acquaint ances believed he had sloughed, jr- And you may count us among those who still believe it. Jonathan Daniels holds his liquor, money—when he has it—and even his art too well to come a-slununing amongst us groundlings who grew up with his father and mother and their folks without ever once having suspected them of being forced to bend overmuch to lend an ear to our passing of the time of day with them. Indeed we believe him to be good for what ails those who, if they do not cast out devils in the name of the President, would seem so to aspire. You And We News And Observer There is something in the contention that officials in Washington in orders or directions should drop the “you” and substitute “we”. For example, instead of saying: “You must sacrifice more”, it would go down better if the official should say “we.” Folks back home sometimes doubt that the doctors who administer the medicine take it themselves.
