Several people have proved them
selves the backbone of the festival.
Whether or not these same persons
will continue to struggle with the
thousand and one chores to make the
festival a success is not known. For
the sake of our community we hope
they will continue to bear the burden.
When man in a distant town hears
the name Tabor City" and remarks
that's where you hold big yam fes-
tival each year, isn't it," then we
can't help but feel that every effort
eXerted toward staging the festival
has been worth it.
Although the president of the Mer-
chants Association has usually been
the overall chairman of the project.
the lack of such an officer at the pres
ent time shouldn't prevent a public
meeting and the selection of a person
to carry out the duties.
1t might be wonderful opportunity
to reorganize the defunct Merchants
Association. If the association could
be put back on it's feet and early plans
made for the yam festival at the same
time it would indeed be feather in
the caps of all concerned.

FORGET About The Yam Festival?

We can't subscribe to the theory
that it would be better to forget about
the Yam Festival.
There is little doubt that the Yam
Festival has done more good for the
town of Tabor City than any other
one thing that can be named. Perhaps,
it hasn't been any great financial
boost but it has put Tabor City on the
map.
Whether or not we deserve the title
"Yam Capital of the World" is not the
question involved. Point being
that it is slogan that has won for the
town some degree of recognition.
Our only complaint about the Yam
Festival is that not enough citizens
find time to help with its promotion.
Although it won't be staged until
October there is lot of ground work
that can be laid at the present time
that would pay dividends when the
day of the festival arrives.
When people throughout North
Carolina think enough of the Yam
Festival to pay our community visit,
it is sad commentary not to have
enough concern to devote some of our
spare time to the project.

The whammy finally got me.
Since the highway patel
started using this modern CAD
get for catching speedsters, I
have often made the statement
that it was simply a matter OF
time until it caught me. / knew
full well that not many of us
drive on the open highway at
SIS miles an hour or less that
eventually l was due TO get my
little pink slip.
1t happened last Friday. I had
to go to the hospital again -
Chapel Hill and attend a DR. IS
conference the Governor had
called in Raleigh at 200. 1 made
those two appointments on time
but l still had mayors court
scheduled in Tabor City for S D.

obvious that I had to step on it
pretty we'll to get back here on

Just this side OF Ellington in
Harnett County there was a lopuV
hill and right at the bottom tiiiS

innocent looking little black
tubes. I didn't see the first one
at all. But the second one I saw
with horror because I was OBJ
viously exceeding the speed linn

We chatted at length about To

strikes home like it did this
time. Modern care and open
highways makes it near impos-
Sible to drive slowly when YOU
are in a hurry but if the wham-
my can save a single life, il is
worth the inconvenience and the
cost to the motorists who breai
the law.

Cauahan's Column
BY NORTH CALLAHAN

I've 'ad it, as the English peo-
pie say. For Is years now I've
been in New York, and I was
Just caught in the worst sub
way jam l have ever experience
ed. This is saying something
when it is realized that there
are at least two subway jams
each day-crowds of people
packed SO tight they make sard-
ines seem like loose minnows
and the laundering herd a
springtime safari Of contented
cows.
AT Aston Place where I was to
get on the subway train, there
was a deceptive calm, something
like that which precedes the ex-
plosion of an atom bomb, 1 sup
pose. Down into the subterran-
can reaches of New York's Meth
er land l went, meekly surrend-
ering my Is cents for a token

Through the turnstiles passed,
a far rry from those handmade
wooden ones which separated
the sunlit pastures from the cool
woodlands Of my boyhood farm
land. Then somewhat absent
mindedly - one can get used to
any kind of punishment, they
say-I crossed over from the
abandoned Wanamaker Store
side to the uptown platform.
With a fearful roar, the local
subway train approached. Pas
sengers-in waiting frantically
grabbed newspapers from the
stands, stuffed their mouths
with peanuts from the vending
machines, and tackled the mech
anical monster. We squeezed on,
in battalion strength, soon got
off at the next stop to board the
quicker express train. This was
a mistake. When that jankling,
laundering thing finally arrived,
it was filled to the gills. The
doors opened, but nothing hap
pened. 1t was so full, people
could neither get on nor off. A
true case of human impasse.
l froze against the rail, a sub
way guard near me. People
crushed against him, against the
train, against each other. They
laughed, swore, cried out in pain

neither get on nor get off.
l watched the guards face and
found ii impaSSive. He seemed
so inurtd TO the furore that il
apparently didn't bother him. He
was something like u football
guard over whom the other team

used to it. Finally, he forced the
doors closed on the Squirming
