towards the problem. BY its nature,
other towns must be faced with a
similar problem, and the response to
every beck and call would soon find
the ACL officials with more extra
curricular activity than even we would
wish on them.
However, we can do little, except
work, toward alleviating our own
problems and extend our deepest
sympathy to others III the same canoe.
We respect the position ACL has
IN being one of Tabor City's best tan
payers and hope they will remain in
that role for many successful years
to come
Yet, we cannot get away from the
idea that moving the railing on Hick-
man Road few feet would be a rela-
lively inexpensive proposition and it
would eliminate some traffic hazards.
While the passenger business from
the Tabor City area doesn't merit the
yank of conductors cord, it seems

get sidetrack consideration on some
thing that can mean so little to others
and so much to our town.
The consent of ACL officials to give
consent to a request of long age by
town commissioners wouldn't gain
them any direct revenue but the good
will of the people would be more
precious than, shall we say, 200

comes a bitter pill to swallow,
particularly by the older gen.
Grafton. And the NAACP has
made the situation much worse
by its constant needing and ill
advised actions. At this time,
we can say little good for the
NAACP. To us it has gone to
an opposite extreme of the
XXX.
We believe that had the Ne
gro race truly been provided
with equal facilities and op-
portunity that the segregation
issue would not now have aris-
en-. The White race waited
much too long to do too little
and even though desperate at
temptS have been made in re-
cent years TO equalizc facili-
ties. any thinking Southerner
is aware that facilities have
not been equal in the past.
BasiCally, our thinking is
against forced indignation. But
we believe that it is morally
right and that Christian people
will sometime accept the deci-
sion peacefully and without
fanfare. We believe in the A.
meriCan form of government.
its courts, its lawmakers and
its constitution. It's the people
who are weak and not the
form Of government. We shall
uphold the constitution and
uphold Christian principles re-
gardiess of the consequences
and regardless of whether they
meet with the approval of the
majority Of the public or not.
And that is the stand of this
newspaper.

The rumble of trains passing
through community in the early
hours of darkness lend that needed
touch to make small town complete.
For some unknown reason, unless it's
the idea of action conveyed by the
diesel powered freight trains, the To-
cal Atlantic Coast Line train repre-
Sents progress to us.
Our nostalgia is not so great that
we can overlook the others signs of
progress that could be made possible
by Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Off
Gals.
Many months ago, the double track
i'll the business district was reduced
to 4 single. Residents, not excluding
town officials, saw hope for widening
the main street. Unfortunately, this
hope vanished in less time than it took
to create it.
Congested traffic conditions always
fail to make a small town attractive.
1t does even less for Tabor City's ap-
pearance.
If safety is the factor, surely the
town and railroad officials can work
in close harmony. Tie railing on
Hickman Road, in the heart of the
business district, could be moved in
a few feet and alleviate the major
portion of traffic congestion.
Thus far, Atlantic Coast Line OIL
ficials have seemingly ignored the
situation. They don't live here; there
fore, they wouldn't be too sympathetic
