In the history of Columbus
county, there has never been
resident Superior Court
Judge who called this home.
They have come from other
counties down through the
years and Columbus doesn't
know what it is TO have a ma
tive son sitting on the high
court bench.
Now the legislature has div
idcd the judicial district and
we are in district Is composed
OF Brunswick, Bladen and CO.
lumbuS. Here in Tabor City we
have one of the most capable
lawyers in the business and one
with a reputation for honesty
and falrneSS-that would be
Raymond B. Mallard.
Every member of the Column
bus County Bar Association has
endorsed MIR. Mallard for the
JudgeShip and dozens of pri-
vate citizens have written to
Governor Hodges asking him
to appoint our Columbus coun-
ty candidate TO the judges post.
In addition to the fact that
Columbus has never had a res
ident Judge, it has been 25
years since any district official
of any kind has served from
Columbus. Homer Lyon was
the last and that was more
than two decadts ago.
Obviously we have not been
represented very we'll in high
cr echclon political circles for
a long time, and never in so.
far as a judgeship is concerned.
We think the Governor
should appoint Mr.. Mallard to-
the position. Columbus has
more than $4,000 people, far
more than either of the other
counties. Now we don't believe
in letting that factor alone dis
qualify candidates from either
Brunswick or Bladen but in
that both have had representa-
ton since Columbus has, we
believe it is our time at bat.

Spring Fever Is No Excuse

''Spring fever" is not a new all
ment but it comes at most inappro-
pirate time in so far as the needs of
Tabor City are concerned.
This is the time of year when get
ting to the store or office on time in
the morning hours hovers on the realm
of the impossibility.
Actually, the temperature is still
normal enough for the Jaycees to give
serious consideration to taking the
summer recreation program as an
annual project.
We are certain the Jaycees could
do creditable job and every young
ster in the community would benefit
from their efforts.

Editorials . F..
Civilians Stick Their Neck Out

Other civic clubs would do we'll to
don their thinking caps and come up
with ideas for helping to promote the
project. There's no question that it is
an ambitious undertaking but no more
so than the purchase and developing
of the Mill Pond or the building O
Civitan Field.
Members of civic clubs don't mind
working or they wouldn't devote their
spare time to attending meetings and
working on various committees. They
become handicapped only when the
public refuses to lend a hand of
assistance.
Our hats are off to the Civilians for
making the first move but when the
project is completed congratulations
will be in order to the citizens of the
community who made it a success.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1955-03-16

In the past the recreation program
has served a good purpose and those
directing the activities performed an
excellent job. Usually, the length of
the program was cut to suit the funds
contributed by merchants.
Financing the program should
continue to remain community af-
fair; however, the administrative end
of the work could be done with more
efficiency if handled by a civic club.
We suggest that the Jaycees dis
cuSS the worthineSs of the program
then make their decision. Our
bet Is that If they take it as an annual
project it will be one to which they
can point with pride.

Without someone sticking their
necks out to get good movements
rolling it seems that progress would
always escape us. Thus, we commend
the Civitan Club for its initiative in
starting fund for securing a fulltime
band instructor at the local school.
It's an ambitious undertaking but
the fact that the Civilians have taken
advantage of the opportunity to rem
der community service doesn't mean
it should be saddled with the full
burden.
We would prefer to think that such
a project would carry the full endorse
ment and financial support of every
one in the community. 1t is truly a
step in the forward direction and one
that will give our children richer

SPRING FOR SURE
ON'MONDAY NIGHT
PLEASED AUDIENCE

Everyone attending Spring for

Roanoke Island School of Fine
Arts, on Monday night at Water
side Theatre seemed to be highly
pleased, not only with the story
the musical told about the noun
tain people portrayed, but also
with excellent acting, not only by
the principals but also the sup
porting cast. The great stage of
Waterside Theatre was very well
arranged for the story, and it
could be readily noted by any at
tending this performance, pre-
sented for only one night, that the
production staff had done a bang
up job in training for the dances,
the dialogue, the singing, costum-
ing and music.
Leads in the show, played by
Valerie Gwozdecki, member of
Lost Colony Chorus and Charles
Nicoll, dancer, turned in excellent
performances as Cindy Higgins
and jeremiah Jones, the mountain
lovers. Often stealing the spotlight,
however, was Lillian Prince of
Chapel Hill, who recreated her role
of Nav Higgins, in which she had
been cast in a Spring for Sure
production at the University town.
