Food For Though On The Fourth of July! They say that you're fearful, afraid. Indiana, Utah, Maine, and the Carolinas. Georgia, Ohio, and the Dakotas . . States — people — Americans. They say that you're fearful. Vermont. California—fear ful of what? Of whom? And why? Why is the Big Question. Oregon. Wash ington (Washington, who were you named fof?) Illinois. Arizona. Nevada. Oklahoma. Missouri — all the Great 48. All fearful, afraid, they say . . . They — fearful little men in big city towers, in ivory towers. Whispering, muttering: words male dictions, woes, predictions, suspicions — GLOOM . . Doom Fearful little men with books and pens: oracular, vernacular, picture-tubes, mikes. Do they know America? Do they feel America? Do they know you. great united states, great plains and mountains^ You’re not afraid, are you? Louisiana. Nebraska. Kansas. Oklahoma Or are you? Remember, today the Fourth of July. That there was a July 4, 1776. when 13 puny Colonies with no Army or Navy, no nothing at all but brave, brave hearts — 13 poor little patches of patriots. Americans, who stood up bold to the King of England and the might of his Empire, and boldly, bravely RESOLVED: That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and In dependent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown; and that all political connections between them and the state of Great Britain is, and Ought to be, Totally Dissolved." THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . . . And you. Forty-eight. Are Afraid Today? “I only regret,” said Nathan Hale, ‘‘that I have but one life to lose for my country.” “I have not get begun to fight.” said John Paul Jones. Remember them? . . . And the pioneers, the covered wagons, the unknown, the savages, the vast unexplored, the frontiers, the hardships — Remember Daniel Boone. Kit Carson. Jim Bridger, Davy Crockett — General George Custer on the Little Big Horn? Remember Sam Houston, the Alamo What if they had been afraid! . . . Remember the Marines on Iwo Jima? What is a heritage, Americans — a faint fearful heart? . . . If we’re afraid today, the Question is. Why? We’ve got the Hydrogen Bomb; we know how to wipe out cities, to vaporize people— Have we discovered that—and lost God? mlm I .ji‘ ^KIDD BREWER’S Hi ftmaup INCREASES — A look at North Carolina busines- condition as re vealed by building permits, sale of whiskey at ABC stores, and in come sales tax collections shows that things at last are leveling off in the State as a whole. The only substantial increases shown when compared with May a year ago are job applications (52 per cent over May of 1553) filed with the N. C. Employment Secur ity Commission and unemployment compensation (weeks claimed), which ran 128 per cent over May of last year. Felix Grissette's fine little week ly, “Facts,’' says: "The State’s revenue collections for May show ed more definitely than any month so far the fact that the level of business in North Carolina is be low what it was a year ago at this same time. Total genera! fund collections, total collections for all funds, and the three major tax funds which are most sensitive to current levels of business — in come, sales, and gasoline road tax es — were all down in May as compared with May a year ago.” HAPPY — We learn that South erners in the U. S. Senate were de lighted with the appointment of Sam J. Ervin, Jr., a few weeks : go. Word from Washington is that Senator Ervin has been ac -pted enthusiastically by Dick Russell of Georgia. George Smath is and Spessard Holland of Flor • la, and othei senators from the South. Effort- bega:. immediately to "look after" Senator Sam. There was a survey to determine wheth er there was a chance of getting him assigned to the Judiciary Com mittee, on which Willi- Smith erved. The prospects looked dim.

Owner IMPORTANT — The Judiciary Committee would be duck soup for Sam Ervin. He’s an able lawyer and served with distinction as as sociate justice of the N. C. Su preme Court. Moreover. Sam Er vin is a fellow who believes ir States’ rights as a matter of con stitutional law. You’ll find that the Judiciarj Committees of both the House an< Senate are composed of lawmaker; who have brilliant legal records t< stand on. And you have to b< willing to work, if you're on thosi committees. It’s estimated that about 65 pe: cent of the bills introduced in thi Senate are considered, at one timi oi- another, by the Judiciary Com mittee. And when you regard th< fact that over 1,000 bills are in troduced in a normal session o: Congress, that amounts to a lo of work for the Judiciary Commit tee. OUT-—But hopes that Senato Ervin might land on Judiciary an out, for awhile at least. The Dem ocratic side of the committee al ready is stacked with Southerners or folks whose views are in sym pathy with the Southern view point. Pat McCarran of Nevada is th ranking Democrat. And John L McClellan of Arkansas was addei to the committee to succeed Willi Smith. McClellan likes the Judi ciary Committee and isn’t likely t want to give it up. Neither ar any of the other Democrats. SENIORITY — But Junior Sen ator Ervin, we understand. no\ has a good chance to get som good seniority on another import ant committee — the Interstat and Foreign Commerce Committe* That’s the committee that, anion other things, handles legislatio relating to radio broadcasting an television stations. Sam Irvin, if he gets on th committee now, may be the fourt ranking Democrat by next Jant. ary. The death of Senator Hun leaves one vacancy. It’s rumore that Senator Smathers of Florid may resign from the committe in favor of another assignmen' Senator Johnson of Colorado is no seeking re-election. And if th Democrats win control of the Ser ate this November, Lyndon Johr son of Texas will get off the coir mittee because of his duties a majority7 leader of the Senate. Sam Ervin could be far up th list by the time his colleague, Ker Scott, reaches Washington.

Sir: Due entirely to my own fault, there was printed last week a note to the effect that I was, or am in volved in the workshop program" at Camp Sequoyah. We have no "workshop program” unless the pre-camp training for Counselors could be called such. In that I did_ have work to do, but the article should have read “worship pro gram." Camp Sequoyah has a worship program that is worked into the very texture of the whole camp program, and it is with this part of the camp’s life I am. and have been for many years, “in volved.” If you will kindly make this correction, I will truly appre ciate it. Very sincerely, Edwin Michael Hoffman. P. S.—I write this just after ■ coming down the mountain side from a part of this “worship pro gram" where some 20 high school ’ boys and their counselors have ' been discussing a Christian ap , proach to the whole problem and . matter of segregation. In such as ' these lies the “hope of the world” : for a more Christian order. The ' fire burned low before we finished —but there was something kindled within each one of us that will not , die out, I am sure.

More than 90 times as many Americans were injured in accidents during 1952 as were wounded dur ing the 3 years of the Korean war. A large number ot accident victims suffer shock, amputations, or other ser ious injuries, and their survival depends on prompt use of human blood to help them. Often they receive serum albumin before reaching the hospital. It could be you, the child next door, or the neighbor across the street who will need blood this year. Give blood — give an accident victim an extra chance for survival. Call your Red Cross chapter to learn when and where you can give blood.
