Picking up shells as the murmur of a restless sea provides a background music? Watching nimble fingers guid6 the spinning mass of clay as it revolves on the potter’s wheel? Listening to the deafening hum pf unharnessed strength in a waterfall? You can find it here in North Caro lina—three regions: coast, Piedmont and mountains. You might even say there are threc,^ states. With this in mind the North Caro lina Department of Conservation and Development’s Travel and Promotion Division along with the Travel Council of North Carolina, Inc. have launched an “Explore North Carolina Program" and residents of the rtate’s three re gions are encouraged to visit the other regions. We have the National Military Park here which is open year-round to visitors and which already this summer is at tracting large crowds to the park area and museum. In addition, many vaca tioners use the camping facilities at the Park.

Congratulations to Tommy Berry who is in the nation’s capital this week representing area 4-H’ers at the 4-H Citizenship Short Course and Confer ence. , , Enough Said Commencement speeches are some times long and drawn-out. The Class of 1972 at the University of Alabama this month received a rare treat—a 250 word commencement ad dress, aptly titled, “A Few Words” de livered by Dr. Larry T. McGehee, 36, chancellor of the University of Tennes see at Martin. McGehee’s terse speech consisted of one six one-word rubrics—rage, reason, reading, laughter, lingering and love— with average of 35 words each. On rage: “Age and education give you the authoniy, citizensnip tne re sponsibility, to rage against the medi ocrity and injustice in your society, more especially in yourself. Heed Dylan Thomas: “Do not go gentle into the good night—Rage, rage against the dy ing of the light” On reading: “Develop a thirst for printer’s ink and quench it by reading, for from books flows the fountain of youth found by few." On laughter: He who cannot laugh at himself appears ridiculous.’’ On love; “Love is the most unnat ural human emotion; although vt'fe have learned to transplant the human, heart, we have not learned to transform it. Commit on unnatural act: love one an other.’’ Bright Star For Democrats? With 925 delegate votes in his poc ket and 1,200 or more expected by the time he gets to Miami next month, the logic of arithmetic says that Sen. George McGovern will be the Demo cratic Party nominee again.st President Richard Nixon for the November elec tion. While his California primary vic tory over Hubert Humphrey came to only half the 20 percent that some had forecast, it decisively registered the ap peal of the McGovern image and his platform. And his strong showing with 70 percent of the delegates in Ne\v Jersey only confirmed McGovern as the bright new star on the Democratic horizon. Congressman Jim Broyhill at Fri day’s GOP district gathering in Morgan- ton predicted that McGovern will be the Democratic standard-bearer and the GOP would win and carry Cleveland County, a Democratic stronghold. He credited a win for Nixon over McGov ern. To date, Senator McGovern's ap peal has been built on a liberal image which some observers insist on calling radical, that appeals to many. President Nixon, on the other hand, has a superior vantage point in the White House, and his opponent must come forth with a package of promises that will look, to many, like a juggling act of major proportions. Another key voter segment McGov‘ cm must capture is the Wallace vote which may not be easy in this game of presidential politics. But, then no one would have thought, four months ago, that George McGovern would go to Miami as the top- runner for the Democratic nomination for President. Appointment of a region-wide direc tor of .safety was hinted at by Mayor Joihn Moss at Monday’s city commission meeting and it’s a worthy aim. Citing the rescue squads for their contribu tions. which are many, to the commun ity, the mayor threw in his remarks at the close of a meeting which praised the re.scue unit for their work here and throughout the county and resulted in thd board’s resolution of intent to waive charges for utilities to the volunteer service organization.
