Joshua IS Right To Know In view of this damaging assess ment against former Presiaent Johnson, it is a bit politically surprising that the Nixon Administration through Attorney General John Mitchell, seemed so con cerned over the Times’ disclosure of the document to the point of seeking a court injunction against its additional publica tion and through the FBI which set out to find the source of the “leak" to the Times. The New York Times, which has gained for itself over the years and over the world in reputation of being some thing of a paragon of journalistic re sponsibility, understandably vnsists the documents’ publication in no wise gives aid and comfort to the enemy, and sug gests that the people of America have the moral and legal right to know what the documents appear to reveal. Today the controversy continues. This issue proves that the American publto not only traditionally insists upon its right to know but also always seems to find out about what it has to know. Welcome ^o Rev. Paschal Waugh, new minister of Central United Metho dist church, and his family as they oc cupy a new pastorate. Cordial best wish- e-: to Rev. and Mrs. D. B. Alderman and their family as they move to a new as signment in Reidsville. Boy Scouts are reminding citizens that it's paint-up fix-up clean-up time and invite everyone to join in the effort. The Junior Woman’s club is con ducting a campaign for funds for the Cancer Society. Make your gift a liberal one and draw a check to the American Cancer Society, c/o Marvin Teer, treas urer, First Union National Bank. Junior clitbwomen are coiducting a canvass of the residential areas next week. Memor ial gifts should be addressed to Mr. Teer also. Cancer was killer of a number of Cleveland County adults last year. Funds help local cancer patients as well as provide research into the c^use of this dread disease. The beet-red complexion on many a Monday morning worker during the last few weeks is an indication that Summer is here and along with it the attempt to develope a healthy appear ance of a sun-bronzed hue. It also is indication that many folks forget from one year to the next what too much sun will do. It is' only after we bum at the beach when caution is thrown to the breezes that we learn. This year we followed the instructions (ex pose yourself to the sun nof more than 15 minutes at the time, gradually) and came away with freckles galore but no tan. New Postol Era There are about as many responses and reactions to the New York Times’ publication of a “top secret” Pentagon report on the Vietnam War as there are revelations in the report itself, although there will continue to be mixed opinions over which are the most significant, the revelation or the reaction. As United Press International has suggested, “essentially, the material dis closed that Presiaent Lyndon B. John son approved covert military strikes a- gainst North V^ietnam monins prior to the Gulf of Tonkin provocation, that he was planning to escalate tlie war while campaigning as a peace candidate in 1964, and that he concealed a decision to send U. S. combat troops into the ot- fensive early in 1965." Kings Mountain Postmaster Charles L. Alexander wrote this editorial: A NEW POSTAL ERA BEGINS ON JULY 1, 1971 — The United States Post Office Department will fade into his tory after nearly 200 years of service to the American people. Its place will be officially taken by a new organization, the United States Postal Service, an in dependent establishment of the govern ment formed to meet the changing needs of our growing society. It has come into being in response to an overwhelming need—the need to move the lar :e,st vol ume of mail the world has eve • known over great distances more swiftly and more efficiently. The challenge for the new Postal Service in the months and years ahead will be to provide better, faster and more dependable mail service for all its customers. Already plans are being initiated for a major mechaniza tion program to streamline mail process ing and delivery. The need for such a program has been evident for some time. THE HORSEBACK RIDER emblem of the Post Office has now been replac ed by the streamlined eagle of the new Postal Service. It will be appearing ev erywhere—on trucks and vehicles, on post offices across the nation, on the shoulders of carriers and clerks. It car ries with it the promise of a really ex cellent Postal Service—^modern and effi cient but still dedicated to the ideal of full public service, alert and responsive to its customers needs across the nation and in every city and community. If you are concerned about the eco logy of this area, and you want to ex press that concern, come to the golf course at Crowders Mountain, Saturday, June 26, at 8 a.m. The Gaston College Environmental Society wants to clean up Crowder's Mountain so that when the State Parks Director makes his survey (to consider making the mountain a state park) he will be favorably impressed. Miss-Demeanor? The arrest of a girl member of the “Oh, Calcutta” cast in New York for wearing "nothing at all” under her flow ing gown as she picketed in front of City Hall, brings up a pertinent question a- round here, now that Summer is upon us. Would it be fairly accurate to state that tho.se young ladies wearing teeny- weeny Bikinis, or maybe even skimpy hot pants, are flirting with arrest? (Wilmington Morning Star) Employment increased 4,700 in non- farm establishments in North Carolina during May, rising to a total of 1,773,900, State Labor Commissioner Frank Crane reported today. Commissioner Crane saTd seasonal job increases in construction. State and local government, finance a'iiT services, combined with smaller gains in several other industries, accounted for the May employment advance. Factory employment, totaling 700,- 800 last month, was up 400 from the April level but still lagged 9,400 below the year-ago figure. Nonmanufacturing jobs, totaling 1,073,100 in May, were up 4,300 from the April total and 10,800 ahead of the May, 1970 figure. Total non farm employment was 1,400 higher than a year ago, Oane reported. Hourly earnings of the 700,800 fac tory workers advanced a penny to a May average of $2.59, Commisioner Crane said.

Reporting May employment de creases were: apiparel manufacturing, 3(X): furniture, machinery, paper, Rnd wholesale trade, 200 each; and lumber, printing and chemicals, 100 each.

As a child prodigy he was pampered by the aristocrats for whom he wrote anil played, but when he reached manhood they lost Interest and eventually he went to a pauper’s grave. HoW he would feel about being in the same list as a Beatle-type composer, and running second at that, it is not possible to say. The recognition that evaded him in his lifetime has, of course, been secure with the musically enlightened for many years, hut to be a smash hit for the masses would be a new exnerience and one which might well delight him —so long, that Is, as it is still passible to recognize the rear ranged symphony as the one he hours they could .sp<-nd a few each week with a child.
