him to:
"Roll out the red carpet and treat
the customer as a rich uncle. There's
no advantage in trying to treat people

The customer should never be treated
as .''crackpot," even though he has
definite leanings in that direction. The
salesman must recognize that people
don't always grow up. are blind to their
own imperfections, have thin skins, feed
on commentator and resent being

Arlington School Bourd

1t is indeed seldom that can say
"Amen!" to any statement by Harley
Williams. His letter analyzing the re-
cent Arlington school board elections
therefore. came as a surprise. We agree
entirely in the result but differ as to
the cause.
May I explain to Mr.. Williams why
one Of nearly five thousand voters
ignored the school board candidates?
My abstinence was protest against
the so-called non-partisan school board
election made possible by the connivance
Of Republican, Democratic and non-
partisanism-one-party rule. And that
party whose single successful opposed
candidate polled only 80 per cent of
the total vote.
The nonpartisan nominating conven-
tion denies entrance to a Republican
or Democrat, per Sc. Those who op-
pose the non-partisans' theories have
no voice in naming the candidates for
whom they are asked to vote. This is
not my idea Of the American way and
I refuse to dignity it by my participa-
tion.

Israel No Rubber Stomp

NJ Thieleu's indignation at Israel's
vote to seat Red China in the u. N. may
be justified by his own splenic bias but
not by the considerations posed by him
on the subject.
The United States loan to Israel, TN
like "windfalls" to NATO signatories,
was strictly principal pal-plus-interest loan
made by a creditor to a "good-risk" ap-
p1icant. If M. Thieleu implies that the
United States anticipated a rubber
stamp type of U. N. support from Israel
because of the loan, this would be odd
indeed, were Israel's integrity and in
dependence Of moralistic action to be
determined thereby.
Might recall Israels U. N. vote in
condemnation of Red China's aggression

Arlington VS.. Foirfox

The Hoyt report on business and population
trends in nearby Virginia indicates that Arling-
ton and Fairfax Counties are entering a decade
OF keen rivalry for leadership in commercial
and residential development. And the report
makes it clear that Fairfax County is modern
izing its form of government just in time to
meet the public service and other problems
which the new era of expansion will bring.
Today Arlington is well ahead of its neigh
boring county in population, business resources
and home and apartment building. Arlington's
population now is about 135,5OO, as compared
to Fairfax's 100000 inhabitants. Arlington's
business boom is of staggering proportions, with
huge new department stores just opened by
Hechts and Kann'S, other large stores planned
and imposing new shopping centers taking shape
in the vicinity of the Hecht's-Kann's axis The
county has few big open spaces that already
are not being subdivided or marked for early
development.
But, according to the survey made by the
Hoyt firm for the Arlington Board Fairfax is
soon to become a real competitor of Arlington
as a progressive urban community BY 1860,
the report estimates, Arlington and Fairfax will
be neck and neck in population, with totals
of 100000 residents for each county And by
1880 Fairfax will have outstripped Arlington
by $4,000 persons Arlington's population then
0HoU0
will have some 100000 residents That means,
OF course, corresponding increase in home
building, apartment construction and business
facilities Some idea of the phenomenal growth
which both counties have experienced in the
past decade can be obtained from the population
figures for 194O when Arlington had only 81, ,449
residents and Fairfax County only 40,929.
The report warns Arlington that unless it
encourages the development of ajor regional
shopping center at once Fairfax County may
become serious business competitor An Ar
lington center will attract Fairfax customers,
it is pointed out, and hence delay or forestall
a rival Fairfax center But if Fairfax enjoys
the growth envisoned by the report, there is
little that Arlington can do to halt the ORDERLY
development of business enterprises in Fairfax
County. The outlook is favorable for plenty of
customers for more than one major shopping
center in nearby Virginia, and there is no
reason why Fairfax should not have its own
up-to-date shopping facilities to keep pace
with its development.

against Russia? Surely these two op-
posing votes. dissenting against Russia
and the United States in turn. must
prove to the logical mind that. far from
pandering to any one. Israel seems re-
solved to decide each issue on its own
merits, yielding not to extraneous pres
SureS.
The Communist Party in Israel, far
from being influential" Is practically
sterile compared to the monster growth
of this party's prototypes in France and
Italy (NATO countries). Yugoslavia, an
avowedly Communist nation. has re-
ceived much more funds and free ma
terial aid than Israel has had to borrow
on interest. AS for collection Of funds
in the United States. over 90 per cent
have been whole-hearted donations
from Jewish American co-religionists,
with not one cent coming out Of United
States taxpayers pockets.
Israel Is today the bastion Of democ-
racy in the Middle East, fact which
our Government is slowly coming to
realize.
II M. Thieleu wishes to wax indignant
about lukewarmness to Red China, let
his spleen run riot against our greatest
ally. Great Britain, whose persistent
efforts to seat Red China, openly and
behind the scenes. have caused immeas-
urably more embarrassment to United
States delegates than the small, honest
voice Of little Israel.
Gus Goldstein.
M. Thieleu writes: &c. isn't it odd
that Israel should vote to seat Red
China in the U. N. -. ?"
This remark Is based on q miSreading
of the report.
The issue voted on was not whether
to accord seat to the Peoples Repub-
lie of China in the United Nations. 1t
was whether consideration" of such a
proposal should be barred "for the du-
ration Of the Sixth Regular Session" of
the General Assembly
On the basic issue my Government
did not here commit itself one way or
another. 1t had already made clear its
view that the Peoples Republic of China
should not be admitted to the United
Nations while fighting u. N forces. On
the procedural issue, however, it did feel,
as matter Of principle, that no ruling
should be laid down in advance which
would preclude any possibility, irrespec-
tive Of new circumstances that might
arise. Of even considering the question
for the rest Of the 195l-52 session.

There's the right way and wrong way.
Don't tell the customer: This is a good
buy today" Tell her: "It was marked
down from $2.s8 to $2.25 to make room
for new stock" Don't say: "That really
is very cheap, madam" Maybe the item
is good buy, something marked down
close to actual cost. But the word
"cheap" starts the wheels ticking in
the customers mind. She is apt to get
the idea that the article is poorly made,
or that it lacks style, or that she
wouldn't have 1t as q giveaway.
Everybody knows the customer is al
ways right" but the situation may arise
when a customer says: "Your price is
too high; can get it for less down the
street" That is what the authors call
"firecracker," remark calculated to
make the salesman pop OF with words
he later regrets.
It is unwise for the salesman to come
right out and fatty contradict the Gus
toner; that's tantamount to q slap in
the face. A more soothing reply Is the

with the customer in one breath and

In this newspaper will be found
the advertising of some of the
leading buyers of fish in the mar
kets of Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York. Many of the dealers
carry old established firm names,
some of them rs to 90 years old.
While personnel and owenrship
have changed many times, the bus
inesses still go on, and these we'll
known firms may be depended on
to give the fishermen of North
Carolina the best marketing adj
vantages.
For many years our newspaper
has carried the messages of these
dealers to our fishermen. Almost
every year we have visited them
on the northern markets, finding
them friendly and cooperative.
Year after year they inquire about
old friends and business acquain-
tances along the Carolina coast.
This week on our visit we heard
many inquiries about prominent
men in the fishing country. To
mention few who were especially
asked about: Clarence Midget and
the Craddocks of Manns Harbor;
George Wise, the Meekinses, the
Hoopers and the Bests of Stumpy
Point; Maynard Meekins of Engel-
hard, Clyde Potter of Belhaven;
Alvah Ward of Manteo; Dick Til
lett and Richard Gray of Wan
cheese; E. H. Holton of Vandemere,
Garland Fulcher of Oriental; Dan
Oden, M. L. Burrus, the Austin
boys of Hatteras; and countless
others.
We found some changes on the
markets. Some dealers have died
in recent years, some have sold out,
some have expanded their bust
nesss. In Philadelphia, the we'll
known old firm Is years old, the
C. E. Warner Company, is now
