..From 1585 to 1587, The Old North State re
ceived the first English settlers in America. For
reasons never explained, the colonists became
lost to the world.
" The state was permanently settled around
1650.
During the late 1700's,
America faced mounting differences with their
Mother Country. Thus, it was on April 12, 1776,
the growing colony of North Carolina became the
first of the 13 to vote its readiness for independence.

By MARION SWINDELL
The thinking of people Is
In a constant evolutionary
struggle. The volvement
of higher ideals Is beirig
brought : forth in
generation after
generation. For this we
are thankful.
It was lust a hundred
and fifty years ago that
the English stopped
executing women for
"witchcraft." More than
300,000 women were put to
death In England in a
period of 300 years their
only crime was that they
were "witches."
A foolish practice? Yes,
we all agree I But at the
time of the executions
people actually believed
In witches and wizards.
. There were many who
practiced the art of wit
chcraft, and believed
themselves to be witches.
What about a hundred .
years from now? Will the
things wt accept today as .
"human nature" be in the
dark ages of yesterday?
Will preiudlces and hate
some day go the way of
witchcraft? This, of
. course, depends on us. We
make our world we set
.the sails to our destiny.
Whether we know It or not,
we are doing ust that
' every day of our lives.' -
