Picking Time" Is Here Again
PLAIN TALK

II seems that picking time"
has rolled around again-cvcry
time you turn around you find
some sports scribe has blessed
you with his selection of All
City" All County" "All Dis
trict," "All State" All Ameri-
can" or some equally obnoxious
list of outstanding something.
Very few newspapers fail TO
use this method of honoring star
athletes. After all it creates good
will of some kind or other be-
tween the newspaper and the
people. This it does by virtue of
spreading the selection of stars
throughout the area. 1t may in
some instances increase circula-
ton although | doubt if any
publisher ever retired on the
money received through addi-
tional subscriptions attributed
directly to the "All'' teams.
The thing that makes me Hant
to take the afternoon off and
suffer nausea all by myself is
the fact that it takes more than
one person to make a team. 1t
often takes more than two play
ers to carry the load of a football
or basketball team so the Unjust
ice of all-star teams is borne by

iviC-Minded Editor Resiuns

The resignation of Willard G. Cole from
the position of editor with the News Re-
porter of Whiteville came as complete
surprise to the vast majority of citizens
in Columbus County. The surprise was not
pleasant one when one considers the i'm
portance of having civic-minded person
at the helm of newspaper
Editor Cole leaves a tremendous pair of
shoes to be filled by the person chosen as
his successor. Cole achieved distinction on
a national level when his relentless edi-
torial crusade against the Ku Klux Khan
Melted him Pulitzer Prize. 1t was the
first such award ever made to semi
weekly newspaper. In addition to the
Pulitzer award he was honored by many
other organizations that had previously
overlooked the field of country journalism
when it came time to recognize individuals
for outstanding public service.
By virtue of the honors bestowed upon
Cole for his service to the community there
are many young journalists entering the
weekly field with strong desires to uphold
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-03-03

the standards of public service brought to
light by his editorial crusade against the
Khan. Perhaps the Pulitzer Prize added
the lacking bit of glitter.
Cole has gained recognition not only on
national level but on local level as we'll
His timely editorials have often meant the
difference between failure and success in
helping Whiteville grow. He has served
the purpose editorially which was in the
line of duty; however, his duty never end
ed at the typewriter many times he
literally beat the bushes" in an effort to
keep civic projects moving forward
He will no doubt miss the routine of
meeting copy headlines and the constant
pressure which goes along with any news
paper work; however, his new post of
public relations representative will give
him the opportunity to remain in contact
with the people he has served so we'll as
editor of the News Reporter.
We salute Editor Cole for his achieve
ments in putting permanent mark of
high standards on country journalism.

votion to duty he has neglected an import
ant item-tact
chief of police is not merely a man
with badge and blank tickets to an af-
ternoon in court. He is laden with the un-
enviable task of protecting the people,
Many times he must protect these people
from themselves when they become care
less and run stop signs or push too vigor-
ously on the accelerator These violators
are not dangerous criminals, in the sense
of the word, and not to be treated as such
they are the same citizens who are
vitality interested in having the law en-
forced. This does not mean that they ex-
pect special treatment-th majority will
quickly admit they were in the wrong, paw
their costs of court and remember only
that they must be more careful in the
future. That is the general course of
action when the violator is treated with
courtesy which he deserves When the
courtesy aspect is discarded and the law
enforcement officer tends to regard every
one as body" subject to arrest instead
of an individual then there is no known
way to cite him to court without creating
i'll will and resentment.
All it takes is an understanding and
genuine interest in people then the rest
will come naturally. 1t will breed respect
and admiration instead of contempt.

"Our obligation and opportun-

These are words from the book

The hope for world peace is in
calling the Russian peoples to

Just This And That

If you want to give your throat
a real workout, try making ii
speeches within 48 hours some
time. That's what we did in Char
lotte last week and haven't COM
pletely cotton over it yet. But all
told, we felt the series of talks on
brotherhood was fairly successful.
Got a lot Of comment and even
though it takes up more time, we
accepted more invitations TO talk
in Charlotte.
March 16 we have to 60 back
for talk with the Charlotte Ro-
tary Club and May 81 to deliver
the commencement address at
Harding high school. don't know
why the big city folks want to
hear a plain country boy talk, but
I suppose It's something different.

for righteous, goodness, jjustic,
and kindness everywhere. We
are against SMILES, cruelty. ar
rogance, oppression, and greed
wherever such sin is found. And
we know we must fight sin in
ourselves as well as in others.
The fact is that man is a sinful
creature. We need deliverance
from the power of sin in our own
lives. The Russian peasants need
such deliverance. The Russian
rulers need such deliverance. We
must all join in a worldwide
movement against our human
sinfulness. Jesus Christ began
such movement. He called men
to follow Him and help build
the Kingdom of God on earth.
This is task for our churches.
Our mission boards should be
working and planning to get the
gospel back of the iron curtain.
Maybe sometime we may learn
that this counsel of perfection"
this religious program, is wiser
than the schemes of our greatest
diplomats.
Then said Jesus to those Jews
which believed in him, If We
continue in my words, then are
We my disciples indeed; and we
shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free"

Heard another rather funny
story in Charlotte last week that
might be worth passing along to
you.
II seems that this preacher had
been very successful in converting
his flock and all had become
Christians and church members
except for one man who steadfast-
ly refused to be moved by the
minister's stirring messages. One
day the preacher decided 1t was
time that he should have a per-
sonal talk with his lone blacksheep
so he went to him and outlined
the many reasons why people
should turn away from sin and
turn to God.
The man listened patiently and

Tact Breeds Respect Instead Of Resentment

Very few people in the role of public
servant are able to escape criticism all of
the time; however, it isn't nearly as one
sided as it may appear since the same
official often finds himself coming in for
large portion of praise - the situation
tends to equalize itself if time permits.
A perfect example of a public official
who falls into this category is Chief of
Police S. P. Sanders He came to Tabor
City several months ago and was under
fire from the very beginning. The town
was divided on the law enforcement issue
some people wanted to retain the SER
vices of l.. r. Watson while others were
very interested in a change. AS usual
there were few who sat on the fence and
chuckled at the squabble created by citi-
zens interested in better local government
but unable to see eye to eye on the issue
at hand.
The new chief has done a creditable lob
in short span of time-there is seldom
anything other than standing room in
Mayors Court on Monday afternoon His
ability to detect law violations and arrest
the guilty parties has virtually eliminated
speeding through town or on the side
streets. He is interested in curbng all law
violations and has shown no partially in
performing his duties; however, in his de-

Senator Lennon
Reports

WASHINGTON II am of the
belief that the American taxpay-
er can expect further tax cuts
from the Congress.
WHY TAX CUTS?
There seems to be universal
agreement that the best way to
get the problem of a Slipping
economy" is through tax relief
for the average man. A reduc-
ton in his Federal income tax
his year will Immediately slim
uiate improved business activity
Tor the farmer, the merchant and
every other person. The PROPOSAL
which favor will increase per-
sonal and dependency exemption
from 5000 to $500 this taxable
year and to $1,000 in succeeding
years. This is, I am strongly
convinced, the front on which
the fight against any recession
must be waged. l have told you
that / am opposed to increasing
the national debt limit beyond
SITS billion. The gap must be
halted somewhere.
HOW TO DO TT?
1t seems practical to me to
drastically reduce our overseas
spending. especially foreign eco
nomlc spending. BY doing this,
l believe we can then save the
cost OF putting the tax cuts into
force. l believe it is better to
keep good economic conditions in
thls country as a strong bulwark
against Communism. Should hard
times develop, the Federal Gov
eminent will not collect antici-
pated revenues anyway. The
George bill, Senate 1888, has nv
vigorous support.
INVESTIGATION
The Senate Post Office of
winch am member, will begin
hearings this week to get at the
facts in the so-called security
risk firings by the Government.
We hope to get from the Civil
service Commission some salts

many of the 1900 who have been
discharged were subversive. NV
personal opinion is that the re-
suits Will snow that very few
were because of disloyalty.
