The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1952-01-11
MORAL DECAY WITHIN"

Eech year the Roman Catholic cardinals, archbshous
and bishops of the United States issue message This
years message signed by 13man administrative board
is of unusual significance
It begins: can alarming parallel exists between the
situation facing today and that which faced the Roman
5OO years ago The problems of the Empire closely
resemble those which sorey test nowbarbarsm on the
outside refined materiaism and moral decay within The
Roman Empire disintegrated from within and moral cor
rupton the main cause The same fate will befa us
if we do not awake to the danger"
The Catholic spokesman then touched on political cor
rupton and immortality saving n politics. the principle
that anything goes simply because people thought
not to expect any high degree of honor in politicians is
grossly wrong Those who selected for office by
their fellow men are entrusted with grave responsibilities
They have been selected not for seenrchment but for
conscientious public service One and the standard
covers stealing from the cash register and dishonest gain
derived from public office"
Regardless of ones religious beliefs and affiliations
every American should be in thorough agreement with this
view Moral decay can destroy peoples and
as surely as the most terrible and the barbarc
revolutions The disclosures which have so far been made
of corruption in our governments national and
local. must have shocked and Disguised every citizen with
any concept of honor and decency Here is where
only the sternest kind of corrective action suffice

PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS

A recent issue in Pennsylvania publication dealt with
what store managers doing the way of community
activities The range is tremendous Managers are or have
been presidents of chambers of commerce. service clubs
school boards and members of town and borough councils
ternal groups parent teachers associations safety councils
charities, the YMCA and YWCA, civic commissions better
business bureaus historical and cultural institutions and
on down a lengthy list
What gives this special significance is that some time
ago the chain stores widely criticized the grounds
that their managers and employees took small interest in
civic affairs and interested only in getting as much
money possible out of their communities That charge
business prosper only the town in which operates
prospers grow only if its town grows What is good
for the community is good for the store Most all chain
store people know that and act accordingly.
AS matter of fact any merchant worth his salt takes
strong and continuing interest in every worthwhile COM
munity endeavor-w whether it be church. school, a Ii
DTary charity chamber Of commerce anything else
and the little stores And the top officials in the chain
TENS they are wise and unsesh encourage their man
ayers to be progressive citizens of their towns
