WELCOME MR. COLE

This week, Willard G. Cole, 81,
father of two children, methodist, war
worker and ex-newspaperman came TO
orr town in the capacity of executive
secretary of the Tabor City Merchants
Association and sales supervisor.
There are some things about our
town that YOU should know, Mr.. Cole.
The Tabor Citizens as group are
good, religious and friendly people but
they aren't all that way. We have
lions share of that sect which had rather
be drunk on Saturday night than to be
in church on Sunday morning.
We also have quite few people
who had rather see our little town grow
, smaller than larger. some whc had
rather drive recklesslv than carefully
and some who had rather be in trouble
than out of it.
You have no doubt noticed, Mr..
Cole, that some cf our streets look more
like sand pits than smooth surfaces
which automobiles are supposed to ira
vel. An effort is being made to remedy
this, Mr.. Cole, but right now there seems
to be moose around the proposal. But
don't fret too much, perhaps your
grandchildren will live to see improve
ments made.
And then there's prices. You will
notice, Mr.. Ccle, that some Of our good
merchants which you represent are MAX
ing every effort to keep the cost OF
living down. The vast majority OF them
are irving and hard but there are al
WAYS the exceptions, and we have some
of these too.
You will also note among the mer-
chants the lack of complete cooperation
when decision is to be made. [ sup
pose this is natural Though. You re-
member how your mother told you that
"you might be president some time, SOM"
Well apparently every one here was
told the same thing and when something
like opening and closing hours turns
up, we'll every man thinks it is about
time for him to be president. But per-
haps bit of tasty barbecue tonight
will lead to some improvements along
this line. After all, if there hadn't been
some cooperation among the merchants,
you wouldn't be with us now and we
would be packing our bags for places
afar off now
We have our part of tragedy too.
Only recently two deaths by accident
have occurred right here in our own
back yard, tobacco barns and contents
have gone up in smoke and a brand new
home burned last week, with not penny
of insurance on anything.
But we think you will like it here.
As stated originally, the vast majority of
Tabor Citizens are good and neighborly.
They will welcome you as we are greet
ing you now. All in all, its kind of like
getting married, coming to Tabor City,
you make a choice for better or for
worse and hope for the better. But
isn't it that way everywhere?

READY DEFENSE Il don't
doubt that one bit, replied the
Cape Fearan. In fact shipping men
have long conceded to trans
oceanic air transportation the pas
senger traffic that is in "a great
hurry, and where speed is the main
consideration - but they concede
very little to air transport in car

the mail" was the ready reply.
In further defense of his beloved
Cape Fear and ships and shipping
in general, the old riverman waxed
forth as follows:
"Our standards of life, our very

TRUE LOVE = Although. the
tang of winter was in the air along
the Cape Fear yesterday, the chill
ly winds placed no damper on the
enthusiasm of one veteran river
man = a man well downward on
the path of life who spends hours
each day along the shore of his
true love, The Cape Fear. And
yesterday was no different to him
than countless other days that have
come and gone. Hungry gulls float
ed almost silently overhead - the
tide rose and ebbed with the same
regularity as in the days when
piracy and smuggling flourished.
Occasionally the, whistle of a tug
boat sounded across the water,
Truly, it was just.another day.
A visitor to Wilmington idled up
and sat down by the ageing Cape
Fearan. Overhead a commercial
plane winged across the river head
westward.
"That, said the visitor, pointing
skyward, is the only way to
travel"
Maybe" agreed the Cape
Fearan as he tamped the bowl OF
his mahogany-hued clay pipe.
