News society editor.
CONSIDER THE COST
Maintenance costs, as many
who have done much planting
have found out too late. It is fa1
better to plan and plant care
fully with an eye to cost OF up
keep. both in time and labor
than to spend lavishly for a show
and later find the cost of proper
care to be prohibitive.
Small, smooth lawns are easily
cut, while extensive terraces need
constant rebuilding and regrass-
ing. A few well selected shrubs
set around the foundation OF the
house and along the boundaries
will enhance the effect and cost
little in energy and time to Gull
tivate and prune.
Trees properly placed with re-
gard to shade will be far more
effective than a grove left in the
front yard, just because it happ-
ened to be there. A well-cared-
for lawn will have a far more
number of neglected flower beds.
when planning your new home
grounds, take into consideration
the lawn, the trees, shrubbery,
garden walks and drive so they
do not just happen and then in
the wrong place, but laid out
according to a certain plan ano
from the right landscape point
of view. Do not let them dete1io'

because of waning interest anc
enthusiasm.
In garden contests, the frs
thing the judges look for is the
way the garden is kept, and this

actual blooming plants in thu

thing. The plan of the garden ane
the material, chosen for the plant
ings are quite as important OF
more so than the number o:
plants at any one given time.
No amount of material and nc
success in bloom can ever make
up for untidy beds, weeds, unkep1
walks, uncut grass, trees full Of
broken and dead branches, brok.

other signs of carlessness anc

Mrs. Cameron Mosser gave a
very interesting talk "Can
Teachers Help Parents?" She
presented the teacher, child,
and parent as a triangle. The
child fortunate and unfortunate
in the middle. There should be
a smooth, all-round circle each
one working with the other two
in harmony. "More extensive
child psychology, she said, els
needed for both teachers and
parents" She stated that the
chief purpose in education is to
produce fine citizens, accepting
home and community response
bilities. She suggested - that
teachers and parents meet oft
ener and become better ac-
quainted. Both would be more
enthusiastic. "Enthusiam begets
enthusiasm. Another idea given
was high grades are not every

Letters To The Editor

Prosperity came to them. They
lived lives of luxury, IN

ship. They built strongly fortified
cities Samaria and Jerusalem,
for instance. They thought they
were 5ucure from their enemies.
They refused to heed the warn
ings of Gods prophets and con-
tinued in their sinful ways of liv-
ing. Because of this God allowed
them to fall as a nation and to
be carried away into captivity. AS
I see it, today our people are fol-
lowing in the footsteps of Israel
and Judah.
It's true we do not have the
golden calves and other images to
worship as did they, but we are
drifting away from God. We have
idols of graft, greed, immortality,
selfishness. and a desire for luxu-
rious and lascivious living. We
have legalized saloons, beer
places, dance halls and other
things too numerous to name. God
says: Remember the Sabbath
day 10 keep it holy" How are our
Sabbaths kept? Sunday movies,
baseball, fishing parties, lakeside
and beach resorts crowded, while

of feeling a false security under
our great military protection?

Julus L%ocklear, 25 died shortly
after a fight with another Indian,
James Tyner IN a lonely country
road, and Tyner is a patient iii
a Lumberton hospital as a result
OF pistol shot wounds, which he
said, according to Sheriff Britt,
were inflicted by Locklear.
Sheriff Britt quoted Tyner as
saying that Locklear shot him, the
bullet landing in his groin, after
which Tyner wrested the gun from
Locklear, and according to his
testimony, fought his assailant.
Tyner is under surveillance OF
the Robson county authorities
pending the outcome of his condi-
ton. and Sheriff Britt said that
formal charges would be prefer
red when his life is out of danger.
Sheriff Britt said that Tyner
told him that he fought Lock1ear
after the shooting, but the officer
said that it was his impression
thai the wounded man did not
know Locklear was fatally wound
ed when Tyner was taken to the
hospital.
The sheriff said that his offices
were notified of Tyner's condition
after he lad been taken to the
hospital, that hours later he and
his deputies found the body of
Locklear on the deserted country
lane. His head had been beaten
with a heavy blunt instrument,
according to Britt.
Locklear, according to the sher-
iff is credited with many acts Of
violence and near violence, a n d
recalled that a few years ago he
was found guilty of tearing the
CLONES from Frank Mcmillan now
clerk of county courts during a
wild escapadc."
A coroner's inquest has not
been scheduled, Britt said, pend
ing the outcome of Tyner's con-
ditiCn.

Famous Hero In OBJ

BY JACK =

Two hundred years ago today a
child was born in a Scottish parish
who later was to become Ameri-
cas- foremost naval hero in the
Revolutionary var as a result Of
his being commissioned by a
North Carolinian.
Best known for his living words,

the man was John Paul Jones.
Born John Paul in the parish
OF Kirkbean, stewartry of Kirkcud-
bright. Scotland, on the estate OF
Arbigland. belonging to Robert
Craik, a member of parliament,
the child bore the name ue his
father, a landscape gardener in
Crailz's employ. His mother, Jean
Macduff, was the daughter of a
highlander.
When but IL years of age he
was apprenticed to a ship-master
aid taken aboard a ship whicn
carried him to Virginia. Much sea
experience was gained by the lad
on subsequent voyages.
After brief time spent in the
Royal navy, he signed as first
mate on a SLAYER, although only
10. Two years later, disguised
with the slave trade, he bought
his own ship.
In Tobago, however, he en-
countered trouble when his crew
mutinied after he invested all his
money in cargo with the intention
o. delaying paying the crew until
the cargo was sold. Jones killed
the ringleader and left the ship.
There was no admiralty court in
session, and rather than wait in
prison for trial, he fled.
A period of obscurity followed.
Legends tell us that in order to
escape he was forced to serve
time on a pirate ship.
At any rate, IN ITS, he ap-
peared in Philadelphia, calling
himself John Paul Jones, and in
possession of a commission from
