SCHOOL BELLS WILL SOON RING


thousands OF unruly youngsters Will mingle with

First year teachers will be Mortified thoughts
of putting up with the crowd much less trying to
teach them anything.

ginning is worth far more than overdose of strict

If | were teacher, first thing I'd do opening
day would be to yank up the yOungster nearest me

to enter his children in such an in
stitution.
The fact that Columbus County will
have the distinction of claiming the
only such Boys Home in North Caro-
lima should not be the determining
factor in making citizens want to con-
tribute to the home If one were
to consider only the fact that by his
small contribution boy without a
home would be given chance in life,
there would be need for none of the
fanfare which accompanies fund rails
ing drives.
If one could but recall the incident
of two youngsters in nearby COM
munity who went hungry for love as
well as food, there is little doubt that
the Importance of Boys Home would
be realized.
The deadline for raising the quota
ended last week but the need remains.
It's seldom that Tabor City has let
down worthy projects and we would
prefer the practice not begin.
Search your conscience and love for
homeless children, then mail your do
nations to Boys Home Chairman
Richard Gordon, Tabor City.
1t will be nicer to say 1--WE helped
build Boys Home than to realize its
value too late and have nothing but
regrets =.

Some expert has said that
North Carolina would be i'm the
path of hurricanes for some
years TO come while Florida
and the usual storm ridden
States would be free of such
menaces. Now we don't know
whether he knows what he is
talking about or not but n few
more strikes in our direction
and we will be ready to label
him 4 genius.
The theory about this hurri-
cane belt proposition has to do
with an alleged shifting of the
gulf stream out i'm the Atlantic
that makes our shores more
likely TO find the proper at
mospheric conditions t:ian
long other shores. If this is the
case, then we would like to see
the gulf stream suddenly shift
to the middle of the ocean and
all hurricanes strike some re-
mote area around the north
pole.
There's a certain amount of
thrill and excitement that goes
along with waiting for a hur-
ricane to strike you. but il Is
one thrill most of us could get
along nicely without. Up to
now, we have been quite for
tunate in not losing Lille or
limb i'm our immediate area
but IL the hurricanes persist in
hitting us. we will not always
be so fortunate as to escape
loss Of life and serious injury.
About the worst aspect to
our latest hurricane was the
loss Of electric power for quite
a spell. The shop here was out
Of business last Thursday and
one Of the papers we print,
The Fairmont Times Mcsscng =
er. didn't get out until Friday
afternoon instead of Thursday.
That throws a real monkey
wrench on our schedule when
no electricity is available and
really makes you appreciate
power when you have IL.
But we have no fault 10
find with Carolina Power and
Light Company. They did an
excellent job in keeping power
facilities going and at the
height Of the storm, II crossed
our mind that electric light
Iinemen must be having q
really tough job. Even while
winds were still whipping the
trees and light lines. Iincmen
could be seen working away at
several places right here at
home. Along the coast they
must have had ever a more
strenuous task.
One thing about being In the
hurricane belt. maybe we will
learn how TO prepare for them
better and better every season.
We are no longer green anna
tours In this business Of walt
Ing out storms.

that brand, so l had to take a
Rum Crook Cigar but didn't like
to smoke that kind. While sit
