LET'S HOPE IT'S PROPHETIC
Greensboro Daily News)

The Raleigh News & Observes in
its Under the Dome column at
tributes a story to folks at the
Motor Vehicles Department" which
we hope is truly prophetic in its
officially declared illustration OF
"the big difference between the old
and new overlooking penalties" for
trucks in North Carolina.
But, let these "folks," as quoted
by our Raleigh contemporary, tell
their own story:
"Weighers stopped mountain
trucker recently and found his We
hicle some 10000 pounds over
loaded. They took out their pencils,
did a bit of figuring and turned to
the mountaineer with the verdict.
"'That'll be three ninety-eight.
"The victim wasn't bit upset.
He reached for his wallet and Of
fered them SIS bill, full expecting
$1.02 in change.

men corrected.
"The trucker blew his top. The
state could take the truck, load
and all. 1t wasn't worth that.
motor hicle folks figure
theren be quite few confiscations
with the new penalties"
If that turns out to be anything
like true story, we are really
about to get somewhere in dealing
with this truck menace, as it af-
fects public safety and the preser-
walton of our highways, in the Old
North State.
Letting offenders off with light
fine has been Understandings in
effective. What do overlooking Of
Tenders mind about paying it if
they can go ahead and carry a
payload which nets them sub
stantial profit over and above any
court costs that they have to pay?
The only way to stop overlooking
is to make it cost offenders more
than they can possibly get out of
| it.

months later, before he could join
her, Williamson died.
His funeral was a state occasion
and he was buried with pomp in
the English cemetery in Caracas
buried figuratively as we'll until
his diary was uncovered over
hundred years later.
Jane Lucas, now Mrs. Ernest de
Grummond, came upon the diary
in 1912 while sorting a collection
of papers bought by the University
Archives. She believes that she is
the first person to have read the
diary since Williamson closed it
after his last entry, for his blotter
lay undisturbed between the final
pages.
The diary led to a trip to Vene-,
zuela for Mrs. de Grummond for
research purposes. More important,
though, it has also led to a revival
of interest in one of this country's
earliest - and undeservedly least
known-diplomats.

1T is ALL HERE
UNDEVELOPED
Hereford County Herald)

Chambers of commerce from
one end of the nation to the other
have cried to the high heavens
during the past six years for more
industry in the town in which they
are located.
The Southern cities have en-
couraged the decentralization of
Eastern manufacturing concerns
because it would bring plants into
their town, employ several hum
bred people and overrun the city
with cash.
The "hard dollar" has come to
mean so much more to workers
and business men than the real
value of the individual, that it
isn't surprising to find such an at
titude.
The South isn't hurting for in
dustry. This section of North Car
DINA isn't going broke for the lack
of "hard money" but it is suffer
ing for a program that will bring
the best from the individuals who
live here and earn their bread from
a decent, honest occupation.
We have worked under the i'm
preston that any group of peo-
pie can accomplish what they wish
to. The amount of good that can be
gained by an organized community
is unlimited, and if ever there was
time when unity is needed it's
1851.
The development of human re-
sources is this areas, or any sec
TONS, greatest need. The ability to
provide for any .community's ills
rests with the people who live
there. 1t isn't coming from the out
side, either in the form of industry,
agriculture or education. The cure
for all that ais any community
rests within the hearts and souls of
those who hold citizenship in that
particular community.
Looking to Washington for Santa
Claus may be a modern practice
but it isn't the answer to any of
our local problems. The final re-
suit is demands upon the people
within any given community. If
there is no organization, no coop
Grafton and malice in the hearts of
the people who make up the settle
ment then the results will be dis
appointing,
If you can't love your neighbor
to the point of being willing to
share with him the things you
come into possession of then there
!; something ungodly about you.
II you consider, because of your
financial or professional position,
yourself to be the "better" than
the other fellow then it's tire you
nlade some drastic alterations.
Democracy won't work ir North
Carolina or any other state where
people insist upon making far
reaching decisions behir d closed
doors. If what we do or plan to do
cannot be known by the general
public then we should reconsider.
1t isn't difficult to be honest with
ourselves and our friends, but
Il any complications are sure to
arise if our plans cali for SHUT
door" decisions.
The people in your community
can help you and you can help
them if only you will drop the
man-made barrier that separates
genuine friendship from a casual
good morning"

Contract Bridge Bidding System
Originator to Join Stars Staff
EosIey R. BIuckwood
Will Start Daily
Column on Monday

Easley r. Blackwood, originator
/ of that famous contract bridge
bidding system, which has helped
or trapped more slam bidders
than any other now being used
/ is joining The Stars staff of spe
cial writer's and will start a daily
bridge column on Monday.
Mr.. Blackwood became one oil
the most controversial figures in
contract bridge with his famous
four and five no-trump bidding
convention, in which the bid, in
stead of telling something, asks
the partner how many aces and
how many kings he holds.
When the system was first an
nounced, many of the experts at
tackled it as revealing informa-
ton improperly and taking much
of the diagnosis out of the bid
ding. The opposition reached a
spectacular climax in the famous
Cavendish Club in New York
when a player bid four no.
trump. His partner was supposed
to respond with five clubs if he
held no aces, five diamonds if he
held one, five hearts if he held
two and five spades If he held
three.
The partner, sturdy fellow
who refused to accept the Black
wood Convention as proper, re-
sponded with 81 have two aces
which brought an immediate pro-
test from the opponents. Answer
ing the protest. he replied that he
could have bid five hearts but it
seemed simpler just to translate
the reply into common terms.
However. as the experts began
to understand the system and in
Jegrated it into their play it be-
came generally accepted and
proved a real boon to the player
short of expert rating.
Mr.. Blackwood's bridge column
centers' around a cast of charac-
terS including Mr.. Masters, Mr..
Champion Mr.. Dale, Mr.. Abel,
Mrs. Keen, Miss Brash, Mr.. Muzzy
ard Mr.. Meek.
He discusses the plays and mis-
plays OF these mythical players,
their ethics and lack of ethics,
their skills and their personal
weaknesses. A bridge player, CIV
en- to dispassionate self-analysis,
often will recognize himself in the
various roles. He will even more
readily recognize those with whom
he plays. particularly when the
tenor of the article is critical.

mathematics, declares that mathe-
