Letter Expresses Community's Loss of Doctor Cooley
The following letter is expressive of the
deep loss experienced by our community in
last week’s passing of a well-loved citizen:
Dear Editor:
More than a score of years have passed
since “Sam” Cooley came to us, in what then
was a relatively small mountain village. But,
in that short space of time, he and his fam
ily have won a lasting place in the hearts
of a very large segment of our community.
Doctor Cooley was well prepared for the
task before him. A background of deep re
ligious and social education, topped by a med
ical training which he constantly and reg
ularly sought to enlarge, made him an out
standing doctor and citizen—one to whom so
many of us now owe so much. As a citizen,
he gave not lip service, but actual service,
devoting full mental and physical effort in
his sincere desire to serve, help and better
our community. He was also deeply religious,
and served his church and practiced his faith
in every way. The beautiful church which
he and his fellow workers strove so long and
so hard to erect, will remain with all of us
as an example of his idealism and faith. It
is not only something to which his associates
and the congregation can look to with pride,
but is a civic improvement of which all of
Black Mountain may well be proud.
We should be proud and grateful for the
many good and lasting things which have
come to us through the help and hard work
of this fine man.
Many of us have lost a real friend, and
our community has lost an able citizen. May
his soul rest in peace.
A Friend.
While Charlotte Attorney Spen
cer Bell leads the way in suggest
ing' legal reforms in North Caro
lina—such as judges being ap
pointed instead of elected by the
people—he is having plenty of
troubles right on his own door
step.
Jack Love, rotund and energet
ic member of the House from
Mecklenburg county in the 1957
Legislature, is running against
Incumbent Spencer Bell for the
State Senate seat.
And even more formidable op
position faces Bell in the person
of Jim Vogler, one of the real
veterans of the House, who has
also decided he would like to
switch over to the Senate -side.
Vogler, head of the N. C. Food
Dealers association, has never ■—
to our recollection—been beaten
in his many runs for the House of
Representatives. He has been
beaten when he ran for the State
Senate.
But this time —while Spencer
Bell is being written about and
talked about pro-and-conly over
his legal recommendations — Jack
Love and Jim Vogler seem to be
beating Bell down into third po
sition in his own hometown.
That's the way folks in Char
lotte said it looked last week,
anyway. A lot of money was be
ing spent—not all of it by Bell,
either.
Not much is being said about it
—and a lot of his best friends
don’t know it—but one of North
Carolina’s most prominent leaders
is desperatelv ill.
Attending physicians last week
were on the verge of making a
final, fatal decision: that the ill
ness cannot be cured. But there
was still hope.
One of the greatest pictures
these tired old eyes have ever seen
is “The Young Lions.” which is
now playing on movie screens
across the land. Raleigh loved it
. . . and so will you.
It has the punch of the old
‘‘What Price Glory?” without the
empty sentiment, and the factual
bases of a documentary film. You
will seldom see better acting any
w-here than that done in this mov
ie by this Marlon Brando and the
serious, hard-bitten Montgomery
Clift.
In the past 60 days North Caro
lina has lost five of its truly great
agricultural leaders. We all deep
ly mourn their passing and dwell
mentally on the peculiar twdst oi
events which would take them
from us within a few short day:
of each other—at a time when wc
needed them most.
First it was Bill Hooks, Mastei
Farmer of Columbus county, busi
nessman and banker; the next daj
it was J. r.. Winslow 01 riu coun
ty, also a Master Farmer, a lead
er of the Farm bureau, a promi
nent businessman, and a veteran
in agricultural leadership.
And then came the tragedy in
the loss of young William Poe, ed
itor of the Progressive Farmer
and one of the great young men
of the South. He died suddenly
and wholly unexpectedly of a
heart attack.
Next came W. Kerr Scott; and
no man dead or living—with the
exception of Dr. Clarence Poe—
had done more for Southern agri
culture than Scott. Last week it
was M. G. Mann, one of our agri
cultural giants, whose long years
of mental suffering from physical
disability became more than he
could bear.
Loss of these men is felt deeply

by all thinking people of North
Carolina this spring—and their
passing will mean greater loss to
the farmers of our State in the
years to come.
One of the most unusual wed
dings ever held in North Carolina
occurred a few days ago when for- .
mer Congressman C. B. Deane’s
daughter, Betty Cree, became the •
bride of Richard Brown Sherman ■
of California. 1
Representatives from 17 nations
gathered at the First Baptist ,
church in Rockingham for the ■
event. Dr. S. Douglas Cornell, a
good friend of Deane and execu- .
five director of the National Acad
emy of Science, said in his address
to the congregation: ‘‘I saw what
we called another kind of marriage
in these days. That was the mar- ;
riage of the hydrogen bomb and
the guided missile.” He knew
what he was talking about.
Dr. Cornell was closely asso
ciated with the development of the
hvdrogen bomb. Four of the brides
maids were from abroad. Several
of them wore their national cos
tumes. One of the bridesmaids,
Miss Barbara Riffe of Washing
ton. D. C., is the daughter of the
late John V. Riffe, the last execu
tive director and vice president of
the CIO and instrumental in bring
ing about the AFL-CIO merger.
The groomsmen came from Nor
way, Canada, London, Eng.. .Ja
pan. Kansas, California, North
Carolina and South Carolina. Dr.
Will Reed of Oxford, England,
played the organ. The Moral Re
armament International chorus
sang.
Mr. and Mrs. Sherman, both as
sociated with the Moral Rearma
ment movement full-time, will con
tinue in this work. It was truly
an international wedding for peo
ple with an international outlook
—and unity.

Poppy Day On
May 24 Benefits
Disabled Vets
Wear a poppy Saturday, May
24, members of Waycaster-McFee
American Legion auxiliary urge,
as they plan to be on the streets
on that date to sell poppies.
Hardly ever will you find any
one who does not know the his
tory of our memorial poppy from
Flanders Field, but they may not
realize its true purpose unless we
tell them, the committee in charge
states.
These poppies are made by sick
and disabled veterans in hospitals,
made by a patient who is grate
ful for a chance to keep his hands
and mind at work. His morale and
poeketbook both benefit and, as a
natural consequence, his health
is improved, the committee re
minded.
To the disabled veteran or war
widow or orphan the memorial
poppy is a heart-warming mes
sage of thanks for the sacrifice
they made to help keep America
free.
“l’in a poppy on a lapel and you
will light a candle of memory for
one who has died in war that oth
ers might live in peace,” sponsors
stated.
More and more calls for help to
families of the disabled are be
ing made, it was stated. More
than half of the children in Amer
ica today are children of veterans.
Many of these fathers are suffer
ing from war wounds. To be able
to carry on a beneficial and suc
cessful child welfare and rehab
ilitation program the units must
have funds. These funds are from
poppy sales, the proceeds of which
are used exclusively for this pur
pose, Mrs. W. T. Wright, poppy
chairman, ■stated.

ten. Erwin Says:
WASHINGTON. -Action by the
■ Senate Judiciary committee last
week evidences the growing con
cern that exists in Congress that
’ the United States Supreme Court
should refrain from further invad
ing the field left to the Congress
' a.nd the States by the Constitu
r tion.
There is room for disagreement
j as to the particular remedy for the
encroachment and usurpation by
’ the court. 1 voted for the pro
" posal in the Judiciary Committee
1 because I honestly feel that the
: Supreme Court has far exceeded
its proper bounds by acting as a
1 legislative body contrary to the
meaning of the Constitution.
My hope is that this action will
serve to call attention to the Court
1 that it should stick to its legal
? knitting and desist from moving
into the legislative field. Criti
. cisrn of the Court does not come
easy with me; 1 respect our dem
► ocratic institutions, but 1 am com
- pelled to speak out against, what
I am convinced is usurpation of
power whether it be in the judicial,
legislative or executive Drancnes.
If we are to preserve the balance
between the States and the Fed
eral Government and the division
of power within the Federal gov
ernment. it must be done by in
sisting upon legal and constitu
tional principles. No public of
ficial should be above criticism,
and I cannot subscribe to the the
ory that the court is sacrosanct.
Vote Unexpected
The overwhelming vote in the
committee was unexpected. By a
vote of two-to-one majority, my
colleagues took this action to re
port the bill which should produce
important national debates. A de
bate of this nature can be very
constructive. It will inform the
people of the importance of sep
aration of powers and the wisdom
of the Founding Fathers in estab
lishing this concept.
Dangers of Encroachment
The dangers of judicial encroach
ment are numerous. Perhaps one
of the most serious is substitution
of personal notions of what the
law ought to be for what the law
is. Another is the methodical re
duction of the States to meaning
less zeros, the ultimate of the mis
comprehension that Washington
can do everything better.
With these thnigs fresh in mind,
the Judiciary Committee has now
acted. I favor a great debate on
this issue. Such is long overdue.
The debate should not be sectional,
reckless or irresponsible.
Military Pay Bill
The Senate unanimously passed
the military pay bill last week.
While considering the proposal, I
was struck by the fact that the
Armed Services are today in keen
competition with the business
world for trained manpower to
carry on our complex defense es
tablishment. Highly skilled per
sonnel have been leaving the ser
vices for employment in business.
Congress had no alternative but
to work out a plan, an incentive
plan, whereby a career in the
< Armed Forces will be more at
j tractive to these capable and high
ly trained people.

, most impressive manifestations of
the loyalty of North Carolinians
to their friends is the way they

'“me to Washington to see a new
Senator take his oath of office.
The demonstration of this loy
alty was again obvious in connec
tion with Senator B. Everett Jor
dan’s “swearing in” here in the
Senate. North Carolinians took
virtually all of the' gallery space.
The reception overflowed the com
mittee room. Impressed by a long
series of occasions of this nature,
the Secretary of the Senate said
to me that he had observed that
more North Carolina people at
tend the oath-taking than L trim
of any other State. As a conse
quence of this display of loyalty
on tin- part of friends and neigh
bors, Tarheels have a munopolv

My feeling is that‘the actual
oath-taking ceremonv should be
more formal and that, all Senators
should take time to attend a cere

tators in the gallery are little more
