SOME MEN ARE NEEDED.

There ought to be some in Dare County with
enough public spirit not with personal interest in their
welfare spare time and for the office of
County Commissioner with hope of keeping Dare County
sensible financial basis Some who will exercise
judgment respect the rights of their fellow citizens who
will have vision and courage to the future well
fare and progress of the county.
Unless some come forward, there is predicting
what and damage will result to the county if the
ent board allowed to continue in office well

With a tremendous increase in the value of property
they jumped the rate third this year. They have
system of valung property, and taxpayers pay
twice much as others, on identical property.
They have subjected the people to needless waste of
funds and continue to and each for several
have had to appropriate for the preceding
years waste.
1t may be that they competent men, but their
duct in the past two years doesn't satisfy they
they competent then they be taking the advice of
incompetent people, people who don't give darn for
the public interest
1t is peculiar how be reckless with the spend

money hand belonging to the public sets officials
afire to spend it.
Until we get some in office who have sincere
regard for their feowmen who have pride country who
regard for the public welfare than for their
sonal interests, going to continue to suffer.
Don't we have who wish to serve the public
who wish to make their county BETTER who willing to
make little personal sacrifice; who have backbone and
grit?

SUNSHINE ON
THE SCUPPERNONGS
THE Charlotte Newsl

(The Charlotte News)
Although it's sliding sidewise in
to true autumn the sun is hot
again with the straight-up heat of
the summer. Along the streets
housewives have opened windows
closed against a space of damp
and GOODNESS. Curtains flutter,
floor fans and air conditioners run
internationally in pace with the ebb
and flow of the summers strength.
Mostly it GIBBS, though, for morn
ing begins and afternoon ends in
GOODNESS and long shade. And au-
tumn sleep that comes easier and
goes harder already has put an end
to the restlessness of summer
nights.
But in the fields the sun is still
supreme, bearing on backs bent to
cotton. 1t puts red bands around
necks protected in the upright
time of planting and of blowing,
and the skin stings as the strap of
the heavy sack slides off the
shoulder and along the neck as the
picker goes to the basket or the
spread "to empty" 1t starts the
sweat across the back and under
the belt. And the rows that were
comparatively short to pillow and
chop stretch far away to the
picker. The sun is hateful but it
is better than the rain that beats
the fleece into the dirt and makes
it harder to pick and cheaper sold,
that fattens the leaves where the
stringing worm hides with bite
tobacco juice can ease but can't
cure, and the farmer is not angry
at the sun.
Nor is the task without reward
There are few cotton patches that
do not hide somwhere along a row
a fist-buster or two to sweeten
the mouth and freshen the throat,
And aching hacks, pricked fingerg
and skinned knees are trifles to
man who goes to the well for water
and strays back to scuppernong

PoGRoM IN PERSIA?
III. S. Press Ass'n.l


Freedom of religion is every
body's business. We soon find out
that any attempt to suppress reli-
gion is like disease. 1t spreads
and no one is safe from its effects.
One of the most serious epidemics
of this sickness has showed up in
Iran with the persecution of the
Bahai faith.
Baha'i is highly respected reli-
gion all over the world. In the US
there are thousands of believers
all across the country and the
temple at it's national headquar-
tiers in Wilmette, ILL.,, is one of
the most beautiful buildings in
this country. Baha'i members are
among the most outstanding and
substantial members Of their
communities.
In Iran Mohammedan Mullahs
melted the mob to violence against
members of the Baha'i faith with
inflammatory speeches over the
aforementioned radio station.
AS result, the Bahai temple in
Teheran was desecrated, its dome
destroyed, the home of its prophet
looted. Atrocities were committed
against women and children.
Homes were burned and crops
leveled to the ground.
The Baha'is made an appeal to
the United Nations at Geneva
under the freedom of religion
clause of the UN Declaration of
Human Rights, which Iran had
signed.
This is only the first step how
ever. Baha'is in the homeland of
their prophet are forbidden to
assemble for worship. Over 600
centers have, in effect, been taken
over by the government of Iran.
Economic pressure has been
placed on them. The government
seems to be taking steps to have
al Bahais dismissed from their
jobs if they will not renounce the
Baha'i faith. The government may
not want them to get slaughtered
but it doesn't seem to mind too
much if there is gross discrimina-
ton against them.
The oddity of Trans refusal to
recognize Baha'i as a religion is
the fact that they are recognized
as an Independent faith in almost
every other country. World opinion
must force the government of
Iran to pay more than lip service
to the principles of the UN dec
laration, to grant the Baha'is their
legal freedom to worship in fact,
as we'll as in name and to end
such practices as closing their
places of worship and denying
them their jobs.

THE CHANGE PROVES
CONFUSING
(Sampson independently


For some reason it has become
popular for married women to use
their maiden given name instead
of that of their husbands, especial
ly those who hold positions of i'm
portance. And, to be honest about
it, we don't think too much of the
tendency in that direction.
The reason we don't like it is
because in all too many instances
few people would know who Mrs.
Syvania Doe is, while practically
everybody would know her if she
listed her name as Mrs. John Doe.
Recently we read a list of pub
lie school teachers, many of whom
are married women. In every case
the married teachers We're listed
with their maiden given names.
And in checking the list we knew
only few of the teachers as
listed. Had the given names or
initials of their husbands been
used, then we would have known
practically all of them.
The same trouble often results
in the write-ups of deaths and
funerals appearing in the newspa-
pers when the maiden name of the
deceased is listed instead that of
the husband. Not long ago we
heard of one person who failed to
get to a funeral because the story
of the death and funeral carried
the given name of the wife of a
friend. He did not connect the two
from reading the story. Let's get
back to the old style of listing
Mrs. Sylvania Doe as Mrs. John
Doe, if John is living.

THE IDLE MIND

An idle mind is like machine that's broken and full
of rust For when brain is idle it's only gathering dust
It's like stagnant pool that stands alone dav after day
ccumulatng filth and everything that breeds decay
mind that only sits and dreams without the will to
FORK harmful to world at large and other minds that
1erk.
For when the brain is fast asleep the BODY tires too and
Ton becomes lazy that will not work for YOU
To use YOUR brain to best avnil and you will surely find
c viii he much happier and know real peace of mind

sweater, bracelet, earrings, beads

$4,000 sports car; is the son of

was doing anything wrong.
SNUFF-With little variation
the American people have been
consuming 80 million pounds of
snuff for each of the past 35 years.
Consumption went up little dur
ing World War II, close to A mil
lion pounds. Now there are a lot
of us who recall when most all
the old women, and some of the
men, and a few young women used
snuff, but we thought the practice
was fading away. 1t must be that
some of the women are concealng
the habit. While snuff holds it's
own, tobacco chewing is declining,
only 1914 million pounds having
been used last year. Use of snuff
by statesmen is an old custom. 1t
is still used in the U. S. Senate.
WASTE-WASTE! The gall
that some people get when they
have been in office long time.
1t has become common practice
for Senators and Congressman to
take long tours of Europe, Asia,
and South America at the expense
of the taxpayers, under the guise
of gathering information, or max
ing Investigations. But now we
have new crop who go alone and
without authority from Congress
or anyone else, and demand the
most expensive transportation in
the world. They demand Govern
ment planes sent to not only haul
them about but to transport their
wives as we'll. Of the numerous in
stances mentioned recently, one
last week exhibits most gall. The
Defense department said it was
sending two four-motored Air
Force planes to Europe at a cost
of $4,000, to bring back three
Senators and their wives.
Public opinion jumped so heavily
on the three senators and their
wives for whom the defense de-
partment had planned to send two
66-passenger Consultations to
Europe, that it is now reported
that they refused to ride on the
planes, but will, come on regular
army planes, at Government ex-
pense of course. 1t is to be won
dered about, why one plane
wouldn't have been sufficient for
only six people. Well, they didn't
all want to come at the same time.
But now that the planes would
have had to come back empty, it
is decided to bring home a num-
Der of servicemen tied up in Ger

been trying for long time with
poor luck to get home.
