The Manteo Rotary Club heard
an interesting detailed account of
the Rotary District Convention
held in Rocky Mount last week
from Wallace H. McCown, one of
four delegates from the local club
to the convention. Mr.. McCown
gave an account of what transpir-
ed at the convention and brought
instructions to the local club from
the convention on ways that it
could aid Rotary's aims for world
service and the preservation of
peace.
In the business session it was
agreed to call a meeting of the
Dare County Chamber of Com
merce for Thursday night of this
week, at which Chamber Presi-

OPS PRICING CHARTS
REQUIRED QUICKLY

Raleigh.-Merchants who last
week received 30-day extension
until May SOTO file pricing
charts with the OPS at 700 Tuck
err ST., here, are encouraged to
complete charts "at the earliest
possible moment" according to j.
G. Clark, district OPS director.
".This type of margin mark-up
price control is the very thing
that merchants all over the coun-
try fought to get" Mr.. Clark de-
clared.y "Now, if business firms
will comply with OPS regulations,
it is likely that they will be able
to keep this type. of control for
the duration of the emergency"
The marginal MAKEUP system
of control guarantees merchants
of their historic-or usual
margin of profit over cost.
A dollars-and-cents ceiling price
control system would be inflexible
and a more harsh restraint upon
business, Mr.. Clark added.
Merchants who received the
time extension for filing charts
are those covered by Ceiling Price
Regulation and Amendment 2 to
that regulation. This group in
cludes retailers of house furnish
ings, clothing, jewelry, crockery,
glassware, sporting goods and
pawn shops.
Businesses covered by other
regulations were unaffected by the
time extension.

"HOODLBMITIS"
(The Dunn Dispatch)

We are taking the liberty to
coin word that holds little prom
Use Of popularity oodlumitis. -
For a long time we have observ-
ed that judges and juries have
been consigning youthful violat-
ors of social laws such as public
drunkenness, petty larceny, and
destruction of public property, to
the roads, or giving them eus-
pended sentences for such often
ces.
We are of the opinion that such
infractions, at least many of them,
are not only durable but more es-
pecially are preventable.
Only few nights ago an act
of 'hoodlumitis" was reported at
the Dunn High School in the fern
of crudely constructed burning
cross.
In recent months law enforce
ment officers have reported a
number of acts of breaking and
entering which they expressed be-
lief were perpetrated by young
sters. A great many of US have
seen things as lawd Inscriptions
on the walls of public places and
on the sidewalks about town.
The management of local thea
tiers has reported numerous in
stances of seats being cut with
knives and otherwise damaged.
And frequently we hear or read
about public and private property
being damaged, with no apparent
motive behind the acts.
Such things as these suggest
the word "hoodlumitis," which
must have some underlying cause,
and which may be attributed to
parental neglect and lack of edu-
cation on moral behavior.
And any judge will advise that
youngster doesn't learn to be a
hoodlum by attending Sunday
School.

Governor Scott publicly took the
side of President Truman in his

Macarthur. Since that time the
governor has received bagsful of
harsh and congratulatory letters
from those who dis and agreed
with him all over the country.
Interestingly enough, 85 of his
mail on the matter has been from
out-state. Rough estimates in
dicated that go per cent of the
out-staters got high blood pres
