Bows Home To Help Meters

Juvenile delinquency continues to
be a major problem in Columbus
County and throughout the rest of the
country.
While delinquency isn't confined to
youngsters who are reared without
the proper home life. We find that
those without proper parental guild
ance are more inclined to veer from
the staight and narrow.
Lloyd Collier, public relations Off
Ger for Boys Home, announced last
week that a site had been obtained
about three miles outside of White
vile. 1t marks the beginning of one
of the finest projects ever undertaken
in Columbus County.
AT the present time there are about
80 youngsters on the waiting list"
for admittance to a correctional in
stitution. Many of these youngsters

are undoubtedly second and third Of
Tenders. Here in Tabor City sew
eral youngsters have been appre-
hended three times for breaking and
entering. By now they have sensed
the conditions and realize that no
matter how often they are involved in
violations of the law nothing will be
done.
We aren't suggesting that Boys
Home become a correctional institu-
ton but we feel that it will help to
curb the high rate of juvenile delin-
quency by providing homes for young
sters. A few stiff penalties would serve
to remind parents that they have a
duty to fulfill.
We welcome Boys Home as one Of
the best movements undertaken in
Columbus County.

ment of gambling. We agree with
those who feel that money raised
through gambling devices to sponsor
a youth program could tend to defeat
the real purpose.
After making a survey, the Jaycees
realized their mistake and took i'm
mediate steps to correct it. Bingo
plans were wiped off of the slate and
project far more in keeping with
the theme is now in the planning
stage.
We feel that those persons interest
ed enough in their community to voice
their opinions when they are opposed
to a civic project are helping to make
Tabor City finer town.
We commend the Jaycees for their
attitude and decision to find a more
acceptable money-raising project.

Politicians I'm Name OnIy

The entry of more candidates than
offices to be filled in the coming town
election indicates a healthy situation.
Although the coming election has
been far from exciting, a general in
tereSt is being created by the candi-
dates who have announced their inten-
tons.
To be a politician on the local level
is a far cry from being a politician"
One who serves on the town board
or in the mayors post is actually the
true public servant" He is not in
volved to the extent that his position
carries enough weight to mage him
powerful nor do many of them have
any desire to serve above the local
level
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1955-05-25

Payment for services rendered as a
town official is more humorous than
PORTABLE and is often the butt of many
jokes.
Now that Tabor City has more can
didates than offices to be filled, some
one is faced with having to lose. In so
far as filling the vacancies there will
be a loser but we can't see how any
person offering his services to the
community could be termed a loser.
! We hope that more people will ex-
press their desires to serve. This would
further the interest in the election and
SO long as the people are interested in
their local government we can fore
see nothing except progress.

An Unwise Choice Discarded

Only the interest of civic-minded
citizen who didn't mind voicing his
opinion saved the local Jaycees from
rushing into a controversial issue that
would have undoubtedly damaged the
reputation of the club.
When the Jaycees voted to stage a
series of Bingo nights, they were con-
centrating on the revenue more than
anything else. While not necessarily
looking for easy" money, the Jaycees
were cycling the summer recreation
program and the need for 5000. 1t
never crossed their minds that Bingo
would be Objectionable until the ques-
ton was raised by local man.
While Bingo may seem like bit Of
harmless entertainment to some, the
fact remains that it contains an ele-

While the Jaycees trying to find money
making project to raise the balance of the $500 needed
for the recreation program, they hit the idea of
sponsoring a bingo game each Friday night.
1t seems that money was the only thing consd-
cred and there little doubt that it would have been
profitable; however, when few civic-mnded ind
viduas raised the question that bngo to raise money
for recreation slightly defeating the purpose the
tIaycees discarded the idea.
believe money-making replacement has been
found that will afford people much better entertain
ment. Announcement of the project can be found

When citizens maintain enough interest in the
civic clubs to offer their suggestions then there is no
way for any club to stray from the right path The
interest of several citizens the Jaycees from

ly defeated and Santa Anna
disguised himself as private
in the beaten army and merged
into the throng of some 5000
soldiers. He hoped TO avoid de-
lection and punishment as
savage war criminal.
Santa Annals final battle was
at San Jacinto and helping TO
defeat him was Jacob Wolters.
II was WOlters. a former Prus-
sian soldier, who identified
Santa Anna in the crowd as
high ranking officer and not
the private he pretended to be.
He was the first Texas to in
sist that Santa Annals aristo-
cratic manner was a dead give
away. lie proved his point by
executing i salute known only
10 high ranking officers. and
Santa Anna. in a moment of
forgetfulness, returned the sal
ute.
Santa Anna was put under
arrest and was later released in
Mexico in exchange for the en-
tire State of Texas and a great
deal of other land lying West
of the Mississippi.
Wolters received a great deal
of credit for identifying the
Mexico War leader. And Jacob
Wolters was the great grand
father of Loveless, the publish
ers' employee. It's truly a small
