Romans 12:2. THE WAY TO PROGRESS (The Hertford County Herald) The most vital force and valuable asset of any community are one. They are its citizens the people who make up the community. No matter how rich are its natural re sources and advantages, no com munity can lift its standards of liv ing or progress in economic prosper ity beyond the average level of its citizenship. For it is upon this re source of man-power and through this vital force that all progress and development of natural resources must be made. The way to progress for this section is through improving the level of education for its citizens and raising the average standards of living., If this section has failed to advance as rapidly in social progress and economic prosperity as other sec turns of this State, it is not due to the lack of a great wealth of natural resources but to failure of our people in their capacity to develop these ad vantages. If the RoanokeyChowan section is to realize in full measure the ad vantages and resources with which it abounds, it must do so on the strength of an advancing and en lightened citizenship. Social and economic progress can not be attain ed where ignorance and superstition grip the minds and bodies of half the population. , Business will not flour-) jah in any territory where poverty and low living standards are the lot of the Negro and tenant class. En terprise does not spring up from a people who are homeless and hope less. Through raising the average level of education, encouraging home own ership, and lifting of general stand ards of living, with a greater spread of income among the tenant class, is the way to progress in the Roanoke Chowan section. Without these we will continue to be one of the back ward sections of North Carolina where poverty and squalor reign; where our people die for the lack of hospitals and medical care; where business is poor and industry lack ing; where the people are dull and civilization low. We will never ad vance any further than the average of our citizenship. GOOD MORNING, COLONEL FLANAGAN (The Daily Independent) A General Assembly that goes against every mandate of social jus tice to defeat a child labor amend ment probably will be found too mentally or morally obtuse to con sider seriously Col. Ed Flanagan's bill to outlaw the slot machine. We are, therefore, moved to offer this suggestion to Senator Flanagan: . If the bill encounters destructive oppo sition, why not entertain making it unlawful for any minor to play -Such machines, and provide for the pad locking of any place in which the playing of such machines by minors is wittingly or unwittingly permitted. The greatest harm in these pin games and other nickel-in-the-elot lotteries is among' young people. Once the slot machine habit fastens upon a witless youth, he will steal from his mother, bis father or from anybody else in the pursuit of the phantom of hope that he" will pull a jack-pot. y SHIFTING THE CRIMINAL (Williamston' Enterprise) Pardoned on condition that he leave Hopewell, Va., and not return, an al leged criminal' was turned out of the Hopewell jail last Christmas to'waa der at liberty any place except in the Virginia city. Probably the court or pardoning authority did right in the particular case, but it is difficult to understand the action. ' If an alleged criminal is not good enough to stay in Hopewell, is he good enough to enjoy unrestricted liberty in -places outside of Hopewell ? Forgetting the specific case, and looking to. numerous others, one reaches the conclusion that the shift ing 'of the criminal from one com munity to another te nighty poor way to ; solve the crime problem. ; Numerous alleged', law violators, esv i cape punishment on " the condition that they move on, and the practice Is becoming more common. vim . loS. RECORDER'S COURT Negroes had the run of court here on Tuesday and Recorder Walter Oakey, Jr., in his usual sympathetic way, wrestled with their misbehav iors as earnestly as if ' they were right off some metropolitan avenue de luxe. Eight of them1, seven males and one obstreperous damsel, carried their problems through a long room ing session and well into the after noon, and when H was all over the tally showed that each got what was his or her due, and seemed satisfied. Three of the culprits were minors, although minors in these days of 9 year old marriages are pretty well grown up. The trio were Joe Nat han Walker, Herbert Granny and Ed Holley, and according to the evidence adduced in court they decided to protect themselves against the win ter's adversity by pinching a lot of porcine products from a county farm smokehouse. And, of all things, they picked their smokehouse near the state pri son camp at Woodville. They got away with the stuff without difficul ly but didn't reckon with Sheriff Win- slow. The latter, a fond lover of country ham himself, viewed the of fense as heinous and trailed the boys to their lair where they were having a fancy meal of fried ham steak. None of the boys denied the theft and Walker and Granby were order ed held for later consideration in the Juvenile Court. Holley is due for sentence next week. Emma Winalow was up for slap ping a neighbor friend. They had some rainy day argument over an umbrella, and the slap, a resounding one, resulted. Chief of Police Owens got Emma and Recorder Oakey: ob liged her to borrow (6 and some extra for costs before she could go home. She did so. Then came George E. Davenport against whom Mary Jackson com plained. George was real nasty it seems. Not only did he rebuke Mary because she would not love him as she used to, he said, but Mary says, and she had the apparel in court to back her up, Jm got into her closet and tore her dresses and lingerie all to bits. Pink, blue and yellow lin gerie was the kind of under garments Mary had been wearing previously, according to the court display, but she inferred ' privately she would swing to black and red hereafter. George got exactly 60 days of road service for his playfulness while Mary bundled up her sheds in a suit case and started off to use them in making a bed quilt. Mutt Reed, Chief Owens insisted his name was "Mutt," although "Mutt" was inclined to think he ori- gnaliy had' .-'been tagged Matthew used a knife carelessly on a one time friend, and the Recorder set him back "the costs." , '. . --r,. t-y j. .-.:' .... Garland Stanton, of Wlniall, was adjudged drunk and disorderly, and was similarly checked trot. Curtis Hurdle of near New Hope joined Davenport ' in a road gang stay, his stay being half of Devon port's, 30 days, the charge being that he allowed his fondness for chickens to lead Aim into the theft of a half dozen fowls. , ' I SPORTS TALK Bv "WHFTiE Jk After winning three straight games, the Hertford Indians dropped a close one to the Aulander quint ea Tuesday night.

UimIs Miip FWtant. m. beginning Nixon, Hertford's flashy star forward, was put out of the game for fouls. With only 32 seconds to go, Ahos kie dropped in a couple of free tos ses to tie the score 19 to 19. At this point Campen, regular guard for the Indians, was also cal led out for fouls. In the play off, Ahoskie gained two more points by foul shots, taking the game 21 to 19. Fouls were called fast and furious on both teams, Hertford having two players put out of the game. The Lady Indian's dropped their half of the twin bill to the Ahoskie lassies on Friday night also. The Hertford girls played a good game but could not mateh Ahoskie's stride and . we were forced to take the little end of a 17 to 28 score. Both boys and girls will journey over to Central on Friday night to play their return gamja with the Green Waves of Central. The Indians will be without the services of Fred dampen regular guard, due to an infected keel. r Both Elizabeth City and' Ahoskie are preparing for their annual tourn ments.
