Housing Tragedy In Tabor City

come to know and despise. In the hope
of at least temporary reprieve from such
an existance, they turn to robbery, thiev-
cry, murder and sex crimes. All of which
can lead to only one infamous end-im-
prsonment or death and further embar-
rassment to a family already humbled and
destitute.
The first step toward solving this
chronic problem on the national as we'll
as the local level is more adequate hous-
ing. Only when families develop some
pride in their homes can they develop
pride in their children and pride in their
occupations, possessions, education and
community.
Here in Tabor City property owners
have responsibility to these peoples.
That responsibility does not end with
furnishing them low cost, drab shack of
home. That responsibility does not end
until that housing is comfortable, attrac-
tive and until every effort has been made
to make that family proud of the structure
they call home. Until such steps are taken,
Tabor City can never hold its head high
We can never think of our little town as a
really wholesome community in which to
live.
We have long way to go. There's no
better time than now to start the move
ment. Landlords can be the difference in
our future. Every child growing up in
these inadequate homes is a partial re-
sponsibility of that landlord. If the child
grows into life of crime, the landlord
can assume some of the credit. If he grows
the landlord can assume some of that
credit. In either instance, the child is not
altogether at fault.
We can donate our tenth to the church.
We can make our contributions to polio
and the Red Cross, but as long as we are
playing a part in molding criminals out
of children, we are Sinking a duty para
mount to all others.

Editorials

We hear a great deal about slum clear
ance in the bigger cities of America where
housing projects are lifting families from
filth and a virtual dogs life to cleanliness
and responsibility. But we don't hear
much about this movement in the hamlets,
villages and towns. Yet, the need, except
more so.
Here in Tabor City and the surrounding
countryside, we have a tremendous need
for better housing. Hundreds of families,
both white and Negro, are lowering in
implanted and rundown houses so made
quate that little semblance of American
prosperity is evident.
1t is not unusual to find three and four
room shacks in which mother, father and
five or six children are seeking to live and
call it home. 1t is not unusual to find no
bathroom facilities at all. There are many
instances in which even backyard privies
are not available nothing of this nature
exists except the great out of doors.
This low rent, little comfort housing is
an abomination to any community. There
are those families who must live there or
move somewhere else because no better
homes are available. Thus, they struggle
along in the greatest country in the world
with meager furniture, dirty, cold I'M
painted houses and seek to raise families
that will be a credit to American society
1t is from just such poverty stricken
peoples that Communists have been bred
in Europe and Asia-yes, and in America
too. 1t is these unfortunate individuals
who have grasped anything new that the
Hitlers, the Stains and the Perons had to
offer because they reasoned that nothing
could be worse than their immediate lot
in life.
1t is from this same lowly civilization
that criminals grow. Raised from birth
hungry, cold and in constant need, they
rebel at an early age against all they have

PLEDGE TO THE FLAG
For some time now number
of Senators have felt that the
pledge of allegiance to the flag
should be amended 10 insert the
words under God" in that
pledge. Senator Ferguson last
week introduced a bill which
would accomplish this. If passed,
it would make the pledge read
as follows: 81 pledge allegiance
to the flag of the United States
of America and to the Republic
for which it stands, one nation
indivisible, under God, with lib
erty and justice for all" believe

base liberty upon a foundation
which would not fail.
They knew the history Of the
world showed the loss of liberty
over and over again. If they said
men were endowed with liberty
by the majority vote of the peo-
pie then they knew a majority
vote could take it away from
minority. If they said men were
endowed with liberty by vote Of
an assembly or parliament could
take il away. So they chose to
base liberty on mans Creator,
God. Then nothing in this world
could take it away. Hitler had to
set up a pagan god of war in the
place of the Creator of the Scrip
lures before he could extermin-
ate men in concentration canpS.
Stain had to teach Atheism be-
fore he could force peasants into
collective farms and Siberian
coal mines. Men can not hold to
faith in God and in His name
destroy the dignity and rights Of
the individual. They have to cast
God out of all their thoughts
first. AS long as we hold to the
God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ our liberty is secure.
Follow off after seculariSm, ag-
Mysticism, naturalism, material
ism, or any other of the many
modern-day pagan cults and our
liberty is in danger.

beefs day.
In Tabor City, such depart
ment, as such, doesn't exist, but
we can vouch for the fact that
the complaints pour in just the
same. guess the Mayor just has
the responsibility of handling all
these gripes by himself because
he has such a high paying job
in Tabor City. He simply must
assume the obligation for all
these little incidents that make
life so unbearable for the citi-
zenry. After all, with a salary OF
500 a year a Mayor should do
just about everything to keep
people happy.
But seriously, anyone having
the Mayors job asked for II, and
IL people do complain, II, OF
course, should be accepted with
an attentive ear.

Some of the big cities have
created new department - the
grippe department. It's a bureau
that does nothing except answer
complaints from citizens who are
disturbed because the garbage
collector missed his house, there's
a hole in the street, some dare
devil driver is causing a disturb
ance, stray dogs are tearing UP
the shrubbery, or some one else's
paper is blowing all over his
yard.
Seven big cities, including
Cleveland, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Norfolk, Beloit, Wis, and
Prattsville, Ala, have such de-
partments. Philadelphia's grippe
center, officially known as the
Mayors Office for Information
and Complaints, had $50 visitors
and 200 telephone inquiries the
first day II was opened for BUSH

PLAIN TALK

The next time you get caught
at the railroad crossing and are
detained for several minutes
while the freight agents unload
the cargo it will do you good to
remember this story then the
waiting won't be quite so pain
full.
AS the freighter passes through
town on its return trip to Will
mington it brings a bit of JOY
into the life of member OF the
younger set. The pretty little tot
is only 20 months old: however,
she looks forward to seeing the
train each evening and for a
good reaSon-She has a rather
personal interest.
Martha Ann NeSmith, pretty
blonde-haired daughter of Ben
and Lucy Nesmith, has an I'M
known friend who waves his flash
light and blows the diesel horn
1t is his way of saying hello" to
the sweet youngSter who has her
nose pressed against the window.
If the engineer could see the
beaming smile on Martha AIMS
face, I'm certain he would back
the train up and give a repeat
performance each evening.
As long as the Atlantic Coast
Line continues to employ such
spirited workers to carry good
will and freight / won't complain
about waiting at the crossing an
extra minute or two. will your?
The Rev. Fletcher HutcheSon
had an exciting experience last
week when he heard faint crys
OF help being sounded in the
woods near his home. The brave
minister, who is as lovable as
any person you will ever meet,
made a dash for the door and
stuck his head outside just in
time to hear some wild animal
dart through the underbrush.

We don't mind listening to
legitimate complaints but what
does make you tear your hair
out is unfounded gripes Of criti-
cisms about various events. We
have heard complaints because
so-and-so wasn't in court, with
the assumption that we just sim
ply covered up something for
some one when in reality no
warrant had ever been received
on the case.
You hear other criticism Of the
court because so-and-so paid
only such an amount while this
party paid another. People some
time don't stop to think that the
same offense some time is carri-
ed out in a different way, by
people Of different ages, deliber-
ately or mconsciously. Some

active since taking over the force
