- By CAROLYN LLOYD,
This is a practical, a scientific
age. Many young moderns scoff at
romantic tales of another age and
demand proof for everything.
When they read of King Arthur’s
sword, “Excalibur,” and of the no
ble deeds of his. knights, they are
apt to ask with an air of worldly
wisdom, “Are we supposed to be
lieve that” The answer is “No,” of
course; yet these same young peo
ple may sit spellbound through a
western. They accept without ques
tion the idea that the hero’s six
shooter must be magic, for the hero
never misses his target The bad
man, on the other hand, has no
magic weapon, for he never hits
anything. No matter that he lives
by the gun—he never gets his man,
even if the intended victim is.walk
ing straight toward him.
The same people calmly accept
the idea of visiting another plan
et. That doesn’t seem to require
much imagination these days—for
other people, that is. Perhaps,
though, there are a few others like
me, who instead of being born
thirty years too soon,, were bora a
hundred years too late. We would
have been much more at home in
Camelot. Sir Lancelot and Sir Gal
ahad make more sense to us than
Superman. We could have under
stood the thinking of a knight rid
ing off to the Crusades or a swash
buckling pirate of the Elizabethan
era, but the man who plots a course
to the moon is an enigma.
Up until now, the radical chang
es in our way of life have been
easy to accept. One doesn’t have
to understand the inner workings

Did you know this
fact_ubout... ffiawUJw
In Raleigh at State College is the first college-owned
nuclear reactor. It has attracted international atten
tion and thousands have visited it. The cost: nearly
% of a million dollars. Its use: to train men in nuclear
engineering, and for experimental research in physics,
chemistry, medicine, agriculture and engineering.
Progress in industrial research goes hand in hand
with the same enlightened viewpoint of the citizens
in those areas that favor the "legal control" system
of the sale of beer and ale . . . because it is a
method that has proven to be in the best interests

of a television set to enjoy it or|
the principles of flight to accept
fact that an airplane stays in the
air. Their purpose is obvious; but
this outer space business has me,
for one, licked. Read the explana
tions and listen *o the experts
though I will, I remain feeling ut
terly stupid and frustrated.
According to our standards, the
knights of old and their ladies
were a pretty stupid lot. They
could neither real nor write and
they did a lot of fighting over
foolish things., However, they had
no doubts about whom they were
fighting and what for. They wor
ried about the enemy a few miles
away who might invent a better
battering ram, but at least they
could see him coming across the
hill and could let the drawbridge
down. That strikes me as a little
less nerve wracking than worrying
about a missile that might come
flashing like lightning from the
skies.
Since the dawn of time mankind
has been fighting one way or an
other; and now’, having run out of
new ways to kill each other on
earth, we are taking to the skies.
King Arthur and his sword and
Wyatt Earp and his six-shooter
are equally passe.«The man in the
space suit and the little dog in
Sputnick are the symbols of a
new age. This is a brave new
world; but I hope there is still
room in it for one coward who has
no desire to visit the moon.
Top 4-Hers in
Crops, Tractor t
Top state honors were won by
two boys for outstanding records
in 4-H Club project work. They
will be among North Carolina
delegates to attend the annual
4-H Club Congress in Chicago
during the week of December 1.
More than a good crop was in
store for Preston Cornelius, 16,
of Iredell County, who won the
state 4-H Field Crops award for
his exceptional project work.
Preston can point to profits of
*8,494 from projects and prize
money earned in 4-H work. More
than *6,000 came from Field Crop
projects, according to this hard
working teen-ager.
Three years ago, Preston was
county winner in corn produc
tion. Recently, he exhibited the
junior champion Ayrshire at both
the junior dairy show and the
State Fajr.
He helped his family seed over
40 acres of improved pasture dur
ing. the last five years.

Skill and safety in operating a
tractor and other farm machinery
as well, earned state-wide recog
nition and a Congress trip for
Dickie Pierce, 18, of Wayne
County. American Oil Co. pro
vided the award.
Three tractors on the 300-acre
Pierce farm gave Dickie a fast
start on the 4-H tractor program.
An eight-year 4-H’er, he plowed
more than 3,000 acres in the last
two years.
Experience paid off when
Dickie was named county, dis
trict, and state winner in tractor
operation last year. In 1956 he
also placed 11th in the Eastern
United States Tractor Operator’s
contest at Richmond, Va.
Money saved from tractor work
on the Pierce farm helped Dickie
start his first year at Wake For
est College.
