A TIMELY TIP

Several have related to me the
careless slurs of few paid hands
who as usual use the old political
smear as a weapon to carry a
point. l am also a lawyer, though
not in active practice, and l know
all the tricks a lawyer uses in be-
half of his client. Never believe a
lawyer when he speaks in behalf
of a client. There probably have
been cases in which they have
been employed in some lost or un-
worthy cause and have spoken the
whole truth, but at this writing
l can't recall any.
Abraham Lincoln was one of the
rare exceptions. 1t is said of him
that on one occasion he tarried at
the town tavern the evening be-
fore he was to be heard in the
local court house. When Abe
reached the inn the huge fireplace
in the lobby was surrounded by all
the other lawyers interested in the
case. "A very cold night" said the
innkeeper.
Colder than hell" replied Abe

THE MAGIC OF RAILS
Industrial News Review

"The time will come when peo-
pie will travel in stages moved by
steam engines-from one city to
another-almost as fast as birds
fly, fifteen or twenty miles an
hour. . A carriage will set off
from Washington in the morning,
the passengers will breakfast in
Baltimore, dine in Philadelphia,
and sup in New York the same
day. To accomplish this, two sets
of railways. made of wood or
iron. . will be laid. :"
An article on railroads in the
World Book Encyclopedia reprints
that prophecy, which was made in
1912 by Oliver Evans of Philadel-
phia. And it was an astonishing
look into the future indeed. For at
that time trip from Washington.
D. C. to New York City took six
fore the coming of the steam rail
road was yet to be created.
The encyclopedia observes, BE
fore tht coming of the steam rail
road, people living outside cities
drove their horse-teams or OK
teams many miles to have few
bushels of wheat fround into
flour or to exchange the products
of their toll for tea, salt, thread,
calico, nails, tools, glass gunpow-
der, and other necessities. g.
Railroads worked an almost magi-
cal change in the ways people
lived They brought about the
growth of towns, cities, and farms
in wild prairies, in forests, and
even in deserts. Railroads linked
together for the first time great
numbers of producers-farmers,
factory owners, and miners
with great numbers of consumers
the people who eat, wear, and
use the products of farm, factory,
and mine"
The railroads, in other words
were an essential force in building
our nation. Today they are essen
tial to its well-being, strength,
and security.

HYDE SCHOOLS ARE IN
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM

Hyde County Schools are among
several North Carolina school sys-
TENS participating in the GO
operative Program in Elementary
Education" sponsored by the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools. The
Southern Association, which has
been the accrediting agency for
Southern colleges and high
schools, has recognized the need
for higher standards in the ele,
mentary schools. In order to builc
up the elementary schools as the
foundation for better high school,
and college work, program has
been started to collect the best
practices in elementary schools in
the South and to exchange ideas
and practices among the various
interested schools.
Conferences, workshops, vista
tions, and publications will be the
means of gathering and exchang-
ing ideas and practices.
The Swan Quarter and Engel-
hard elementary schools have
Raced accredited status within
the past few years due to the

pie. Fourteen counties and -four
city school systems in North
Carolina do not have any schools
on the elementary accredited list
and only about half of the schools
in the remaining counties and
cities meet the requirements.
State officials, and other school
leaders, visiting the local schools
have recognized the excellent work
of teachers in Hyde County and
consider the schools as being out
standing in many respects. Natu-
rally higher standards have meant
more work for both teachers and
pupils.

Youth Seen Facing
Two Threats: Faulty
Schools, Conformity

American childhood is faced
with two main threats, welfare
workers were told yesterday.
One. according to Albert
Deutsch, author, Is the "disin-
tegration Of our public school
system" The other. he said In
an address to the Eastern Re-
gional Conference Of the Child
Welfare League Of America. is
the alarming trend toward con-
formity."
Mr.. Deutsch said the FIRST
threat stems from two sources
financial and cultural.
The financial crisis encom-
passes the problems leading to
President Eisenhower's school
program. Mr.. Deutsch said.
"As prominent educators have
been pointing out these past
few days" Mr.. Deutsch said,
'the Eisenhower program is
tragically inadequate in the face
Of the monumental need. The
cultural threat comes from
bands Of primitives. extremely
vocal and effective who
would erase the educational
progress Of a century. These
little bands would robotize our
youth. :"
The writer added that Con-
formity" is now a type OF social
disease as widespread as the
common cold.
He asked social workers, meet
ing at the Sheraton Park Hotel,
to actively join with other citi-
zens ito sustain the American
heritage, the core Of which is
respect for individual dignity"
At last nights session of the
league, Miss H. Ida Curry, SO,
of $3.50 Sixteenth street NV,
was honored. Miss Curry was
the leagues first president and
active in social work for over
