THESE EX-COMMIES
TESTIMONY IS
NOT THE BIBLE

We read now where an ex-Com-
mie told lie. We wonder if it is
his first or his last one. Any per-
son. even in a City as small as
ours, knows that Communist has
no ScrupleS whatever. The truth is
not in them and they consider lies
as one of their main weapons. We
didn't believe this Communist
that is in the news now, when he
attacked the Democratic Party
and We don't believe him in his
turn-about face" in attacking
Mccarthy, his wife and his help.
We believe t h t politicians do
strange things but we would want
an American, who never became
connected with any subversive
group, to testify against our citi-
zenS.
This Communist, by the name
Harvey MatuSOW, testified that II
he went through the Middle West
speaking against Democratic Sem
atorS with false documents and
materials. He said they were sup
piled by the office of Senator Nc,
Carthy. At the time he was a
fair-haired boy of the McCar-
thy regime. However, we do not
believe that Mccarthy deliberate
ly supplied any material, know
ingly. to any Communist. We be-
lieve that he could have picked up
so-called facts from his aSsocia-
tions while he was testifying. We
lust don't believe, or place any
credence, in any "turncoat" who
might have done his right-about-
face act to save his own hide.
Yet this boy Matusow will get
ridh from his lying. We say lying
because more of US understand
that word more than we do the
word perjury. So let's forget so
much of this slander against many
of our leading Americans who
came under the eye OF criticism
simply because an eX-commle teS-
titled. Again we say we didn't be-
lieve Matusow when he first tes-
titled against the Democrats and
we don't believe him now in his
testimony against the Republl-
cans. Why? Because as a Com
munist he believes in playing to
the powers that be. Isn't that
enough.
Just don't buy MatuSow book.
Just don't believe him or any
Communist, ex or present. Mt.

Ham Mites EosiIy
Controlled BY
Electric LIGHT

Ham mites can be controlled
with ordinary electric light or
daylight. according to results of
tests at the North Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station.
That's gooc' news to farmers,
locker plant operators and meat
packers, because mites will de-
stroy all the lean meat in a ham
in an estimated four to six
months under ideal conditions.
They always work in the dark.
To kill the mites. light must
shine directly on the hams. Yet
they should be covered by a pa
per or cloth or both to protect
them from shippers. When expos
ed to light. the ham is left open to
skipper damage.
The simplest way around this
problem is to put the hams inside
a recommended cover Immediately
after curing to protect them from
shippers. They should have no
mites then because the curing
salt keeps them from getting into
the meat. Then put strong elec-
trio light in the ham storeroom
for "a hours, once every two
weeks, to kill any mites that get
in there.
Another way to keep mites
away is to build a wooden frame
for a cage and cover it with 30
mesh screen (much finer than Or
binary window screen) and store
the ham inside. Hardware dealers
can order the screen The ham
should be hung some place where
light can get at it-near a win
dow or electric light bulb. An
other important point: keep all
shippers off the ham before put
ting it into the cage.

SPARE THE ROD,
SPOIL THE CHILD

When we are worrying about
the conservation of our natural
resources I am wondering If we
are doing enough through to our
valuable human resources? Dlscl-
pline and training become more
and more complex in the times IN
which We are living.
Many parents are uncertain
about how and when and how
much to control their children.
Sometimes it is this very uncer-
tainty which causes children to be
disobedient. Here is a discipline
check sheet. Answer the questions
yes or no to see if your diSciplin-
ing is wise-or otherwise.
|. I am consistent - I don't
punish today and laugh at the
same mistakes tomorrow.
2. I follow through on what l
have promised or threatened.
3. get mad and punish to re-
lieve my own tensions.
4. I discuss my child's short
comings in his presence.
5. My wife-husband and l agree
on methods of discipline.
6. I realize there could be a
physical cause that makes my
child disobedient.
I. bribe my child to be good.
8. apologize to my child when
I am wrong.
g.. try to set a good example for
my children.
10. I am sure my child knows l
love and want him.
Parents should remember above
all else that children learn much
from action and a wise example
should be set by the parent in
stead of telling children to do
what they say instead Of follow
ing after their examples whether
it be in reckless driving or drink
ing-Skyland Post.

Going To Church
To See Movies!

NEW YORK - All over the
country these evenings. you can
see lines of people going to the
movies. But don't be surprised
when you also see it's a church
they're entering, and on a week
dayl For a great number of Amer
leans are going to church these
days to see good movie.
While these church sponsored
films are on various religious SUBJ
jectS, they are professional pro-
auctions with full dramatic i'm
pact. Many are full-length fea-
lures some are even in techni-
color-and measure up to COM
mercially produced films in every
detail. They are made by top
notch film directors, and cast
with professional actors. OF
course. church leaders supervise
script outlines for religious and
factual authenticity.
Of the more than 100000
churches in America, about half
are equipped with movie projec-
tors and screens.
These religious movies enter
tain as well as inspire and edu-
cate. They're enjoyed by young
sters and adults alike. These mo-
vieS carry an important message
in a medium we know and enjoy.
After all, in Biblical times. the
minister or elder gathered a group
around for religious stories and
discussion. Today, movies tell the
stories in pictures as we'll as
words. And the discussion during
social hour in the church or
parish house when the lights 60
on is just as serious as in the
less mechanical times of yester-
year.
Typical of the deeply dramatic
aid detailed new movies under
religious sponsorship is "The
Bible-How 1t Came To U.s." It
was made by the American Bible
Society and released to churches
around the country in June.

WHAT ARE THE ISSUES HERE?
THEY ARE THREE IN NUMBER

WnaC are the issues IN LlncOlntOnS current
troversy over municipal candidates presented by
The Times?
Are they political?
Yes, in the sense that politics is the science of good
government.
But, the issues partisan?
Not in Thousand years! We wouldn't paw plugged
quarter to either political party assert dominance
over the other in local government But would like
to that the We-sprng of the towns best talent re-
gardess of party, be tapped by the voters
What, then, the issues involved?
We believe they are moral spiritual and economic
When the human body is healthy in these three
aspects morally, spiritually, and economically
is little else to be desired And we feel the same is true
of the corporate body, such town.
First, it is moral issue We feel it morally cor
rect for municipality to recognize the free Expression
of its citizens when organizing administration The
DID, outmoded convention plan of selecting candidates
for office restricts that voice OF the peoplewhere
community has grown to the size of Linconton Such
has the tendency of dsusionng local citizens in To-
cal democratic processes, and thereby undermines
municipal structure.
Spiritually the old convention" system curbs the
initiative of the people, who watch the rens of the city
fall to small clique which perpetuates itself 1t kills
zeSt for local cooperation in all matters for civic better
ment.
Economically the system discourages the coming of
industry and business to any community If you
owner of industry seeking location, the
first thing you would examine in proposed town would
set democratcay, and not arbitrarily by minority.
You would study prospects of the community for growth
for these would affect your growth and you would
not be satisfied with city stted and stunted by a
provincial government.
The convention system and even the partisan sys-
tem makes for an unhealthful municipal situation
which restricts the town presently and restricts its
chances for the future.
That's why The Times has endeavored to bring the
situation into the open; and that is why muchy

6-Year Old Ashevi||e Boy Is
Named 1855 Easter Seal Child

Mackey Brown, a siX-year old
Ashevile child who attends the
Pre-school for Handicapped chill
dren in Asheville. is the 1855
State Easter Seal Child, it was
announced today by DR.. J. D.
Messick. President Of the North

in overcoming his handicap.
When he was a little over a year
old, Mackey had his first sur
gerry, and was fitted with a long
brace on his left leg. But at the
age of two, he was still unable
TO walk alone. However, With
the help of his mother at home
and the physical therapists at the
ASheville Orthopedic Hospital
Mackey was gradually taught to
walk on crutches. He had a sec
ond operation when he was four
and will still have to undergo
further hip surgery later this
year. Physical therapy at the
Asheville Pre-school, one of many
state facilities partially financ-
ed by Easter Seal contributions,
is playing big part in Mackey's
Improvement.
ABLE TO ATTEND CAMP
Last summer, Mackey was able
to attend the Easter Seal Camp
for Crippled Children at Camp
New Hope near Chapel Hill.
There, with other handicapped
children from all over North
Carolina who have been assist

Easter Seal Societies in North
Carolina provide care and treat
ment for all types of crippling
disease, and is the only volun-

posed mobile clinic for providing
care and treatment services in
rural areas, instruction for home

tend school, support of orthopedic
clinics, grants for special edu-
cation courses for teachers at
four North Carolina colleges,
speech clinics and other pro-
