TIL E P A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

From what / read in the papers
these days, have come to the
conclusion that there are many
people in North Carolina who are
not just catching glimpses of the
past, they are trying to crawl
right back into the past and take
the whole state with them. One
citizen, in a recent letter to the
editor of the News and Observer,
advocated cutting of sch Dol appro-
priations. "Who,' he inquired"
says that the additional ninth.
month and the twelfth year are
necessary" Undoubtedly, he is
one of those persons who says
with pride, 81 never went any fur
ther than the fifth grade, and
look at me-" While jet planes roar
overhead and the world signs for
brave and intelligent leaders, he
would return the citizens of the
future to the one-room school
with one teacher for all grades.
Those schools did a noble job in
their day, but few would contend
that they would be adequate to
meet the needs of today's chill
dren.
Such views, though irritating,
are not alarming, for surely peo-
pie like that are in the minority
in North Carolina. What is
alarming is the fact that there are
a number of men serving in the
General Assembly, who, apparent
ly, are willing to have the state
axe step backward in educa-
ion. rather than offend some
powerful interests fighting extra
axation. Any mother knows that
t is false economy to trim the
budget by cutting down on the
foods necessary for growing
bodies. Even so, North Carolina
will find it mistake to stunt the
mental growth of its future citi-
zens for the sake of saving dol
lars now.
This tendency to take a step
backward does not seem to be
confined to the field of education.
There are those who would undo
the progress made toward high
way safety in this state by deny
ing the effective use of the
"whammy" Some legislators
claim that the use of that instru-
ment for catching speeders in
fringes upon the rights of citizens.
If by "rights" they mean the
right to kill and main, perhaps
it does, and we should then res
cind all speed laws and warn
everyone that he drives on the
highways of North Carolina at his
own risk. The speed laws are
known to all who drive; if we deli
berately break the laws, then we
have no right to complain at the
method used to apprehend US for
our own protection and that of
others. Such an attitude as is be-
ing displayed by some of our
legislators seems like saying to
the public, eve are making these
laws, but it will be perfectly all

Remember these rules when you
are baking layer cakes. No pan
should be placed directly over an
other. If two pans are used, one
may be placed in back of the
other, but if three Dans are used
it is best to alternate the pans so
that the one placed on one rack
will not be directly over or under
one of the others.

Connie, storm but not hurri.
cane, was very much the topic of
conversation everywhere over
the weekend. There was plenty
of wind and oceans of water but
very little damage to buildings
or trees.
Lawns were Uttered with
leaves and small branches but
no damage at all in comparison
to last years Hazel. Corn fields
everywhere were partially flat
tened and the taller and more
mature the corn the more it went
down into a twisted mass.
We asked Will Fulks about the
damage and he told us the main
damage was that it would make
harvest this fall slower and
therefore more expensive. Sew
eral areas were without lights
or phones for a brief time. This
correspondents hat is off to the
light and phone workers who re,
paired line in spite of the
weather Friday night.
Our own current here at the
house went off about 6 pm. and
when we called to report it the
serViceman told us crews were
out working on the trouble and
lights came on at 7:30. 1t takes
a lot of something to work in
weather like last Fridays.

If the members of the Damas-

seem particularly pleased with
the world this week, there's a
good reason - a $4,000 reason -
brand new spick and span red
ambulance equipped with every
thing from radio to White-Walled
tires.
1t is the latest thing in ambu-
lanceS and is much larger than
the one the department has been
using. If necessary three stretch
er patients can be accommodated
in the new vehicle. The old
ambulance will have some altera-
tons made on it and will be kept
as rescue and civil defense car.
H. Deets Warfield, Jr., and
Chief Kenneth Howes left by
train Wednesday for Knights
town. Ind, near Indianapolis,
and drove the ambulance back
getting in late Friday evening
with Connie.
Chief Howes told us that the
new ambulance should be in
service by the end of the week.
Just to show how important it
is to support your departments

number of chances sold and

Abraham Chasanow, who was
cleared end restored to his job
after first being fred as a se-
curity risk by the Navy last year,
is leaving the Government next
month after more than rs years
service.
The Navy disclosed this yes
terday In announcing that Mr..
Chasanow's position as director
of distribution and control at.
the Hyd' Cgraphic Office was be-
ing abolished as a result of a
management survey recommen-
dation. It said he concurred in
the decision.
Mr.. Chasanow was offered an
other joo Of equal pay ($8,360 a

it down. The Navy quoted him
as saying he had decided to re-
tire under civil service proce-
dures and enter the full-time
practice of law.
$500 Pension Due
His last day at the Hydro
graphic ONCE, where he has
worked for the last % years,

told a reporter. today. He said
he estimated his retirement an
nuity would be about $1,500 a
year.
Mr.. Chanow's dismissal a year
ago last spring on charges of
Communist associations became
a celebrated case in the still
raging controversy over the ad-
ministration's employe security
program.
He had been cleared unani-
mously by the security hearing
board. But the Navy appeals
board, which reviews all cases
on its own motion, reversed the
decision and recommended that
he be dismissed.
Won Special Hearing
Mr.. Chasanow, however, was
not finished. He fought back,
through the press and Congress,
and won a special hearing
granted by the executive grace"
of Assistant Navy Secretary
Smith. The special hearing
panel decided Mr.. Chasanow had
been done a grave injustice, ;"
called him an "above-average,
loyal American citizen" and rec
commended he be restored to|
duty. Mr.. Smith concurred.
