Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1950-07-12

: Tabor City's town board at its
regular monthly meeting Thurs.
day night voted to inaugerate a
two hour parking system on both
sides of railroad street and fifth
streets and to enforce it rigidly
with one dollar fines for all vic.
lators. This same ordinance will
also include fines for double park
ing and for improper parking on
the city streets.
The town board pointed out
that this action was being taken
to better the parking situation
for farmers who trade in Tabor
City. Many parking spaces are
being filled all day long now by
merchants and clerks who work
here, and the persons coming in
to Tabor City to trade have great
difficulty in finding suitable
parking space" the board said:
1.-TWO hour Parking" signs, mo
Parking" signs and other traffic
control markers have been order
ed by the town and will be erect
cd as soon as they arrive. The
new traffic ordinance goes into
effect on July 20, and will be en-
forced the year around.
The board pointed out that
merchants and persons who come
to town and have to park their
cars for the entire day, may use
any of several free parking lots
that will be cleaned off prior
to the time the ordinance goes
into effect. Sings will be erected
to designate these free parking
areas. They will be available for
local persons as we'll as farmers
and other persons coming into
town who desire to leave their
automobiles parked longer than
two hours.
The only exception to the
double parking law will be for
wholcsae truckers who are un-
loading merchandise, and they
will not be allowed to remain
double parked any longer than
the absolute minimum time re-
quired for unloading.
NEW LIGHTING CONTRACT
Also accepted by the board
Thursday was a new Tide water
Power company street lighting
contract. The contract was sign
ed by the mayor, after passing
by the board on a three to one
vote, and calls for Tide Water
to furnish the electrity for street
lights in Tabor City for the next
five years.
This contract originally called
for ten years but the local board
refused to sign it unless it was
changed to five year contract.
Also Tide Water has agreed to
delight the Tabor City streets
with new and modern fixtures.
The new lights will consists of
At 1000 watt lumen lamps and
% 1000 watt lumen lamps. The
new lights are expected to give
Tabor City white way lighting
now used in many North Caro-
lima municipalities.
The lighting contract will cost
the town $133 per month.
PRIVILEGE TAXES
Several local citizens mot with
the board and entered a COM
plant on the alleged inequality
of the privilege taxes recently
collected by the town from each
business operating within the
city limits.
The complaints were not SO
much as to the amounts charged
the complaining individuals, but
that the amounts paid by them
were unfair as compared to other
businesses much larger who were
assessed the same fee. Most busl-
nesses came under the heading
of the general license" and this
fee was $500 for those who were
operating under one roof if their
businesses were architecturally
connected.
The board discussed various

anything. Just let it rock along
and sit back, take it easy. Then
when other towns, as they are
doing now, grow into small cities
Tabor City will still be where it
is today, looking on and doing
nothing.
The slogan 'The Town With A
City Future" will come true only
if each and every citizen cooper
ates and does his part.
Are you willing to do your
part? I wonder =.

Americans at lone and Abroad in Canada

QUEBEC, Province Of Quebec
If you're planning a Canadian
vacation during the next few
months here are a few suggestions
advanced by travel officials Of the
Canadian National Railways. They
have had much experience in
helping visitors avoid some Of the
pitfalls tourists anticipate and
sometimes find.
In the first place, visitors to
Canada will find the people not
much different than those they
know in a neighborhood town or
State. Canadians are friendly
and congenial folks. They like
Americans and Americans like
them, too. True, one-third of the
people of Canada are bilingual.
but the majority Of Canadians
who speak both French and Eng
lish live In Quebec Province.
It is really not necessary to
polish up your high school French
to get by, because nine out Of 10
nch-speaking Canadians the
tourists meet speak just as good
English as the next-door neigh
Dor back home. It's fun, however,
to exercise your French when in
Quebec, although don't be sur
prised if a French question is
answered in English.
Signs i'm Two Languages.
In this matter of Quebec Prov
ince, language is no barrier but a
refreshing attraction. Signs in
railroad stations, as well as those
on the highways and in most pub
lie places, are in both English and
French. This makes the French
speaking Canadians happy; it sat-
isfies the English speaking Can
adams and intrigues the tourists
because they feel they are in a
foreign" country - actually just
about sas foreign" as Brooklyn,
EESanstop, ILL.,, or Pasadena.
Instead of States, Canada has
provinces. East to west. the 10
lof them are Newfoundland, Nova
Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New
Brunswick. Quebec, Ontario, Man
itoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
British Columbia.
When 1t comes to money. Cana
dians and. Americans are as alike
as two peas in a pod; they both
like it. AS In the United States,
Canada uses the dollar system of
cents, nickels. dimes, quarters,
half dollars, etc. Canadian paper
money is slightly larger than the
United States variety and it car
ries the picture of King George
vi of Canada. The printing on

and in Canada they ask you to

There are plenty Of gaso-
line filling stations throughout
Canada, although q gallon of gas
means an imperial gallon" one
fifth larger than q United States

When writing home from Can
ada, be sure to use Canadian post
age stamps. A regular letter stamp
costs 4 cents; airmail isl cents
and postcard should carry a s.
cent stamp.
Travelling by Canadian National
Railways, which serves all 10
Canadian provinces, you'll find
service and accommodations COM
parable to the best in the United
States. Dining car meals compare
most favorably with any in the
United States and are usually less
expensive, as are parlor and Sleep
ing car charges.
Warm Days, Cool Nights.
In Canada, the railways own
and operate the telegraph facili-
ties, as they do the express COM
panies. The big railways also own
many of the principal hotels and
summer resorts. such as Jasper in
the Canadian Rockies.
AS to weather, it is Just about
the same as in the northern tier
OF States; warm days-some will
even be hot in midsummer-and
cool, refreshing nights. Nature
has the air-conditioning franchise
north Of the border. You can fish
swim, golf, tennis, canoe, rest, re-
lax. play or even enjoy midsum-
mer skiing on the glaciers in the
Canadian Rockies. Or you can
just plain sight-see in a friendly
land so vast they have to use six
time zones to keep the clocks in
harmony with the sun. e -

Canadian paper money IS DILL
gual, English and French.
Right now you will receive a
premium Of 10 cents on your
American dollar In Canada. In
other words. the United States
dollar can be exchanged at banks,
railroad stations, hotels and most
big stores for $1.10 Canadian.
Not q Colony.
If you must discuss politics,
don't make the mistake Of re-
ferring to Canada as a British
colony" This is not so and Ca
nadians don't like the word
colony" Canada is a rich, proud.
vast, industrious and independent
nation. It has its own freely
elected law-making bodies, pro-
vincial and federal, with attend
ant executive and administrative
units. It's ties with the United
Kingdom are not political. King
George vi is King of Canada just
as he is King of Great Britain.
And crossing the border, don't
worry about the Canadian customs
and immigration officials. They're
good guys" and they are not
there to hinder. but to help. The
customs will not usually embarrass
the visitors with too much search
ing and examination of baggage.
You are allowed to bring in
wearing apparel, toilet articles and
personal effects duty free. Fifty
cigars, 200 cigarettes and pounds
of tobacco are allowed free entry,
so is bottle Of liquor, if it's for
personal use.
You most certainly can bring
your camera; in fact, no trip to
Canada. is complete without one.
Rover can come along, too, but
veterinary certificates must show
the dog is free Of contagious dis
ease.
All you have to do to satisfy the
Canadian immigration inspector
at the border is to convince him
that you are a bonafide American
tourist and he will give you a
cordial welcome.
On re-entry to the United
States, have some sort Of legal
Identification to prove to the
United States immigrant inspector
that you are a United States citi-
zen or resident alien. Birth Ger
tif1cates, copies of naturalization
papers, resident alien entry cards

THE SALVADOR DALI MADONNA

Continued from page eLeren
century Italian master now in the museum at
Milan.
The shell form in art is a traditional symbol of
Christs baptism. 1t appears in Fra Flippo Lippi's
madonna and Child in the National Gallery in
Washington. The egg is the symbol both of purity
and integrity, and of the Resurrection.
Dali used to paint figures with holes cut out of
their middle as Freudian symbol of BIRTH He
realizes now, he says he was ahUays painting
symbol of the Divine birth.
How Much Symbolism?
DALI insists that only gradually is he coming to
understand the religious significance of shapes he
has always used. In the left foreground of his
Port Ligat Madonna" he has painted fish -
only he says, because it is product of the region
and the natural gift of local fisherman to the
Madonna. Yet the fish, in the conography of the
Church, is the symbol of Christ
He painted shale rocks on each side of the back
ground of his Madonna merely to suggest the Port
Lligat landscape. But they also appear in such old
master paintings as the Cosmo Rosselli "Adora-
ton of the Child in the National Gallery.
Cracked and peelng architecture is a famil-
lar sight in Port Ligat, and that, explains
Dali, is why it appears in his painting. But
one notes that Carlo Crive, Venetian Renais-
sance master also painted cracked masonry in his
Madonna and Child at the Metropolitan Museum,
and in the very same picture places the Child on
pillow, as Dali has done
The sea urchin at the left he introduced entirely
for its artistic significance. He considers its pen
tagonal skeleton a perfect microcosm "a re-
minder he holds, to all painters of the geometrica
basis of pictorial construction.
Objection to the Modexnists
WHICH brings us right back to the conflict be-
tween Dali and the modernists The art of the
latter with its emphasis on geometric, abstract
FORMS is as surely rooted in mathematics as Dali's
But, Dali claims, the modernists find inspiration
in many art traditions - Egyptian Oriental and
African Negro. Dali rejects them all in favor of
Renaissance classicism, declaring that the other
traditions have only separate perections, while the
classic tradition combines thousand perfections
of technique and meaning
To most modern artists what picture is, physi-
cally, is more important than what it means The
originality of its form is more important than the
originality of the literary and religious ideas which
inspired it, To them loaf of bread is primarily an
interesting shape or combination of textures. If the
affair. To Dali loaf of bread although he admits
he painted it for 20 years without realizing it, is the
symbol of the Eucharist The End

Reynolds Outlines
Dream Of Utopian
Federal Structures

/ A man who always wanted to,
stood up yesterday and put all the
complaints about Government
buildings end to end.
What Commissioner Of Public
Buildings w. E. Reynolds told the
Washington Building Congress at
the Mayhower Hotel amounted to
a builders dream of the utopian
Federal structure of tomorrow
or the next day.
T. would be built on a founda-
tion of economy and trimmed in
altruism.
One Phase Reached.
One phase of it already has
been reached, Mr.. Reynolds
pointed out. The Government
long ago learned not to put mir
rors directly over the wash basins
in women's rest rooms because
most women employees go in not
to wash their hands, but to fix
their hair. The basin catches all
the stray bobby pins, which clog
up the drain.
See if you can't find the remedy
for some of your complaints in
the hopeful proposals Mr.. Rey-
nolds outlined:
Elevators wide and shallow to
save time in getting in and out.
More escalators-such as the
five-f1oor ones planned for the
new General Accounting Build
ing, Fifth and G streets NV.
No windows that cannot be
washed from the inside. In fact,
Mr.. Reynolds said, he'd favor win
dowless buildings if it weren't for
claustrophobia, which might de-
velop among workers.
Recessed Entrances Provided.
Recessed entrances where en-
ployes may wait during inclement
weather. Light doors which will
operate quickly and easily.
Rounded corners to aid cleaning
workers. Corridors cleared of
phone booths. drinking fountains
and other distractions.
A minimum of ornaments, elm
ination of parapets on the roof,
elimination of transoms over the
doors.
He has one complaint for which
he sees no remedy.
Like many another, he has been
lost in the Pentagon-several
times.
