All The Votes Needed

It would certainly be nice if we could
sit at home constantly, turning our hands
only when absolutely necessary. Just
think of it. None of our neighbors' troubles
would have any connection with US.
But this can not be . not if we wish to
continue to live in a Democracy in which
the people have the final say, and in
which the people are ruled by the people.
And it follows that if this is to be true,
all must work at certain aspects of this life
Of ours with will to see job through to
the end.
Our country was born in the idea that
before any major step could be undertaken,
It would only be done with the consent of
the people I. :. . at least the most of them.
There can be no doubt about it this
form of government is the only true form
of rule which insures that only that which
is approved nv the most people-people
like you and me-is inflicted on US.
But this is only so as long as the major
ity of us people continue to take advantage
of the privilege of voting for that which
We think is wrong

Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1955-01-12

Foreigners have varying opin-
ions of our country. Lots of us
think il they don't like it-well,
they don't have to come here.
The fact remains that a lot Of
them do come every year. and
most of them pass through this
gateway to the u. S. Along with
a lot OF undersirables, many
good citizens from other lands
take seriously the Statue OF Lib
erty as they pass it, and loudly
express their thanks and appre-
citation for this best country on
earth.
There was a time when many
Europeans came here, made their
pile of money, and then prompt
ly left to spend it and the rest
OF their lives in their homeland.
This has changed a good deal.
Those who are now lucky
enough to get in under our i'm
migration quota. are usually
glad to remain in this land Of
plenty, of far-flung freedom and
Of unfettered personal happi-
ness, even though sometimes it
separates them from their i'm
mediate families. One thing must
be said for foreigners: they learn
our language and our customs
much quicker than we learn
theirs, as a rule. Somehow, they
seem to have more patience and
determination. They start as
shoe shine boys and end UP own
ing the business; as movie ush-
ers and become Hollywood pro-
ducers; or as chorus singers and
eventually rise to being opera
stars. Most folks l know do not
object to a certain number of
foreigners coming in to this
country. but want to be sure we
get high type persons who will
meet our standards, not try to
lower them.
What they think of us is often
funny-to say nothing of what
we think of them. Recently, /
happened to come upon an &C
count of what one European
thinks of one of our established
institutions. Said this visitor to
our shores, after an obviously
interesting experience: there is
nothing so American as an A
merican barber shop. One emit
ers. and Immediately two or
.hree pugilists attack him as they
strip him of his hat, his coat, his
vest, his collar and tic. Why do
you attack meZ' asks the strang-
er. 1T is not necessary. l do not
resist" The stripping finished,
they lead one to a chair which
in the fraction of a second is
transformed into an operating
table. Then a man with a large
hand gsabS ones head and hold
ing with the other hand a knife
close to his throat, asks him,

Edward Steichen, studying
to be the great photographer

than 1000 pictures of a plain
white cup and saucer.

BY JAMES G. DEANE

At Les Baux de Provence in
France last summer the forces
Of the annual music festival
at nearby AK staged an out
door performance of Gounod's
opera "Mireille," which has its
setting in that locale.
Angel has issued a recording
made afterwards of the same
production. The opera is one
of the many that are heard
rarely outside France, and 1t
comes over well enough on the
three records to make one
wonder just why. The plot, al
though it has its fanciful mo-
ments, is more sensible than
many, and the score is richly
melodic.
Janette Vivalda sings the
title role attractively, and the
leading tenor part of Vincent
is handled expertly by Nicolai
Gedda. Andre CluytenS also
conducts energetically. The is
sue is gotten up with an un-
usually handsome illustrated
libretto which includes some
interesting essays about the
opera and its origins. "Mireille"
may not rank with Faust" but
1t makes a refreshing change
from the better-know n
Gounod product.
