Some peo ple, by one turn of fate or another, are looked to for what is known as leader ship Where leadership starts and where it ends, in any given area, poses another searching concern, not only to the per son in the capeeity of a leader, but also to those who would benefit or suffer from his or her efforts, America today, more than ever, will face a need for gen uine, unselfish men and women, who are dedicated to forthrightness, honesty and brotherhood. The bigness of the entire American scope, as it emerges into a new century will challenge policymakers to be more aware of human beings and not prestige and things. The concept of live and let live will have further impact up on the minds of policymakers and lead ers as people become more conscious of the glittering scene of plenty: new homes, good food, smart clothes, fancy living and a desire for living better in a world of plenty. The still prevalent idea of control by a few of the many, which caused riots and unrest throughout America will find deterioration as the masses are bet ter trained, become more aware of the Fund Might Help The dastardly crime of rape is about as repulsive to a human soul as possibly the lowest sins and evils demonstrated by mankind. The utter animal-like use of a human body by human beings should provoke any judge and jury to its limits in punishment of the culprits involved. North Carolina's Oxford was the scene of a recent raping of a 17-year-old Ne gro girl by five white men. The raping according to reports lasted several hours, during which the young woman was raped eleven times. The men were tried hst Thursday and given 15-year prison terms, the maximum under the charges accepted. The human being raped should be ac- IS bw Closses C*)s' Poor Authoritative voices warning of the dangers of more, and perhaps heavy, iri -flation are coming from almost all di rections these days, One of the most re cent was raised by the American Bank ers Association—an organization whose profound concerns lie in the realm of fiscai policy and in the value of the dol lar as a purchasing agent. It. will be extremely difficult, the statement said, to prevent inflation this year. It offered two primary reasons: “Utilization of plant capacity in many industries is above or close to the desired range.” Further, ‘Unemployment has fallen to an eight-year low, and labor shortages of some specific goods are re ported. and shortages may spread if the war in Viet Nam intensifies further.” Short Short Editorials JOHN DAY, ORE.. EAGLE: “May be our readers think that the Eagle is too critical of Washington, D. C. But if they’ll read the following editorial, which was printed in a recent issue of the Portland Oregonian, they‘ll see that at least this item doesn’t make any sense at all. With one hand. Uncle Sam writes a health warning on the cigarette pack, while with the other he offers a smoke for its “pure joy”. The quote is from the Agriculture Department’s new cigarette promotion film, suggestively titled “World of Pleasure,” premiered in Washington, D. C. . At a cost of $106,- 000, Agriculture prepared the film to promote sales of U. S. tobacco abroad * * * * RANDOM LAKE. WISC., TIMES: “Now that the economists and politici ans figure that everybody should get $3.00 a year whether they work or not, whether they are sick or healthy, edu cated or illiterate, we sometimes wonder just what the heck is the use of beating ourselves to a pulp trying to make a living.” * * * * PALMER, ALASKA FRONTIERS MAN: “Today the United States gov ernment is almost totally an executive and judicial government, with emphasis on the growing power of the executive. The President alone can decide today whether wc will enter into a large war in Asia—a frightening thought when one thinks back to the unlimited and war making powers of absolute rulers in western history some of whom abused that power. Humans being human, some Presidents will make mistakes or will abuse the same power, and it is surpris ing that more voices have not been rais ed in the republic against the growing foreign policy authority of the chief ex ecutive.” * * * * WALDOBORO, ME.. PRESS: “Our faith and hope: have been placed on the intelligence and interest of our citizens, and our government has been guided by them Because of this the government will serve us well only if its? citizens are well informed. Our system of govern ment has proved that the people will find their way to the right solutions when given sufficient information.” ballot boxes and fearless of economic re primands by power structures and ill regards for the lot of people of low in come station as though they were chat tel. Leadership and policymakers will be looked to for a greater part of their hu man relationship. They will, no doubt, be asked to become a larger part of the thrust of new relationships. Older and wiser persons may even be shelved be cause of the enormous vitality required in an era of stress and strain which should outdistance any we have known. As we gear for this oncoming demand upon the energies and enlightenment of the American mind into a new under standing of human to human, our future performances could well be the pilot ground for a new concept of what really is the answer to the much talked and wanted world peace The question of how far does leadership go here in Ra leigh and North Carolina, may well be answered by saying it is world-wide. For as we homogenize the ingredients of bro therhood and understanding, we will al so demonstrate to all mankind that through good iudgment more can live in peace and more abundantly. corded a different result than only plac ing these men where they belong. Too long have we placed those committing a crime in prison and almost totally for getting the victim. It seems reasonabe to legislate from society (Granville Coun try’) sufficient tax money, etc., to. in a measure, assure such a victim that pris on punishment alone will not rectify such a circumstance. If and when society, which has also suffered this raping, pays through its nose for these crimes in dollars and cents, especially by levying fines upon the prepetrators. raping will lessen and possibly cease A SIO,OOO automatic fine to be given to the victim from the coun ty would, we believe, have far-reaching effects. Then the Associaton came to what may well be the heart of the matter. It said it would support any necessary in creases in taxes but added: “We believe strongly . . . that no request for an e mergency tax increase should be made or granted without firm accompanying efforts to cut back on domestic spend ing proposals.” This, it is clear, is a reference to the government's effort to fight a major war and at the same time pursue welfare programs of unpredictable scone and cost. Under these conditions, inflation is not only probable but inevitable. And, ironically, everytime the value of the dollar declines we automatically create new/ classes of poor—while a war on pov erty' is a primary government objective! WEST POINT,.

Willie Douglas, 43, of 106 i/2 N. Carver St., told two cops at 5:58 p. m, Monday, that he had his Irish Setter dog tied in his own back yard.

Mrs. Harris is then reported to have returned to her house, got a 10-inch long kitchen case knife, came hack into the Doug las back yard and stabbed the Irish Setter in the left side of the neck. He signed a warrant and Mrs. Harris was arrested and placed under bond. All efforts to try and find out why she allegedly wanted a dog fight have failed. It is still undetermined why she would take her apparent anger at Douglas out on his dog.
