OF THE ~
Week

lean Protestant population have
always emphasized the import
ance of ed Ication. In fact we
have sometime looked sidewise
at Utah with its Norman back
ground. Maybe we ar etoo self
satisfied. Our young people
should wake UP to their need for
developing all their God-eiven
talents, 50 as to live as fully and
as usefully as they are able.
And he also that received the
two talents came and said, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me two
talents: Lo, have gained other
two talents. His Lord said unto
nm, Well done, good and faith

full over few things, will set
thee over many things; inter
thou into the joy of thy lord"

bers. If the members are prone to regard
civic projects with contempt and attempt
to push the work off on few then its
success will be questionable. Now is the
time for civic-minded individuals to exert
the needed effort in making a Jaycee pro-
gram here success-it has paid dividends
elsewhere in North Carolina and there is
no reason why it shouldn't make our town
a better place in which to live.
Even if you feel that you are presently
overloaded with civic work it won't take
much OF your time to help carry the load
in the Jaycees. Their projects are carried
through by club members and not Just a
few who are willing to carry the brunt of
the load.
When you fail to share the load in pro-
Jects for civic progress, you are failing not
only your neighbors- are failing vour-

Sometime we become too salts

us up. Recently in New York
CITY an educator remarked, "You
people in North Carolina have
been making wonderful progress
educationally. Some states do
not have medical school but
you North Carolinians have
three"
There is another side of the
picture. The North Carolina pub
lie School Bulletin for January
quotes figures on the number of
residents in college in each state

North Carolina is at the 18th
place. Only South Carolina is

II Was A Job Well Done

Nothing is so enviable as a job well
done. The Tabor City March of Dimes
was doomed before the first dime was
solicited. The timing was poor-business
and money are both allegedly scarce at
this time of the year and there were de-
finite signs that the dollar was becoming
scarce than ever. No one wanted the lob

however, the civic pride of two outstand.
ing citizens was a more dominant force
than their personal objections.
The polio drive coasted along on rusty
wheels as both women, Doris Carroll and
Kate Rogers, worked long hours in an
effort to reach the $1,000 quota set for this
community. 1t seemed that the rumors
were becoming reality-the quota lust
couldn't be raised With only week re-
naming in the drive Tabor City had aised
only $500 of its quota.

JaYcees Are Progressive

A civic organization is one which rem
ders service to the community in which
1t functions. 1t is one which concentrates
on making the town better place in
which to live through worthy projects.
An effort is being made in Tabor CITY
10 organize Junior Chamber of Com
merce club and the move is a step in the
forward direction. The Jaycees are rated
as one of the best civic organizations in
the United State. The accomplishments

The reputation of the Jaycees is not the

I had the pleasure of being

he was in Washington. He is

At Arlington After Long Delay

Last July, the school board

contractor, however, claimed the
bid was accidentally in error
about $4,000 lower than it was
intended to be.
The mistake was lin alternate
bidding for forced circulation
heating systems in the schools.
The school board sought to
have the company sign a con-
tract for the bid as submitted.
The dispute, with a $4,000 bid
bond put up by the contractor
at stake, is now pending in the
County Circuit Court. L. r..
Broyhill was not among yester-

day was Certified Builders Inc.
