It Is this problem which pro-

bus farmer, is perfect example of
a successful farmer who has let fore
sight outshine hindsight.
Mr.. Wright makes his land yield
more money, per acre, than any other
farmer in the area. This he does sim
ply by raising variety of products.
Once the strawberry industry was
one of Columbus County greatest as
sets. Now. it has dwindled to virtual
obscurity. There is money to be made
If the farmer will devote his attention
to such crops.
While the tobacco prosperity en-
dures it will always be the chief
money crop ;,however, the farmer with
diversification of crops foremost in
his thoughts will be the long run
winner.
If the farmers cooperate with the
county agents. Columbus will not be
one of the suffering counties if and
when the tobacco industry makes it
plunge downward.

Let Citizens Do II

We feel that even the illiteracy
rate and moral standards of the coun-
ty, even though not ultra-attractive
when compared with some other
areas, might within itself be an ad-
vantage for us.
In dollar and cent offers we could
probably never offer as much as some
of the larger towns that will seek this
college, but we have no assurance
that such tangible proof of interest
will be the deciding factor. If we did
our part toward expressing our de-
sire for the college, and if we do
everything we can toward a tangible
Offer, then we just might be the lucky
community.
1t seems to us that unless we get
to work and at least try, that we have
shirked civic duty for which there
is no excuse.
Frankly, we would like to see the
town board appoint committee to
formulate brochure of information
along with our most attractive land
and money offer.
A lot of things are impossible for
little towns. This isn't impossible, just
difficult. We should not go to sleep.
We have a reputation of tackling diff
ficult projects and this one could be
the biggest, yet the best, of the lot.
To Tabor City and Columbus county,
it would be not only one of our great
est economic assets, but the moral
foundation that would play a decisive
part in the lives of thousands of men
and women.

revenue from other crops.
In this area most farmers have
focused attention solely on tobacco
and let the remainder of their farm
potentials slide.
Hiring of several new assistant coal
ty agents was recently approved by
the Columbus County board of COM
missioners. They realize the need for
future planning and have spared no
effort to aid the farmer.
These agents will make personal
tours of farms and lend every assist
ance to the individual farmers in max
ing plans for capitalizing on products
neglected in recent years.

itely il!
After seeing this film about
juvenile delinquency in our
school system, if you don't 60

for increased wages for our
professors and school marms
you'd better visit your medical

matter Of fact, l doubt that
such open rebellion exists at
all in any school edifice. Even
the producers of the film use
caution in the opening titles to
state clearly that their story is
pure fiction.
I'll say this for our American
kids-and let's not make any
joke about 1.-THE greater per-
centage of our young people
are decent, law-abiding embry-
onic citizens and well worth
their salt. When the challenge
comes to test their puppy teeth,
they answer it without heroics

no more SO than did Booth
Tarkington's irrepressible Pen
rod or Mark Twain's trouble

we assent to the hasty notion
that our teen-age heirs are to-,
bogganing to perdition.
However, although the pict-
ure may be shouting in Judge
Lynch fashion about the i'm

linquency, its biggest and tru-
est message is the fact that our
school teachers are being und-
erpaid for sowing the seeds OF
education and / underline the
word 'UNDERPAID."
Not only will this statement
guarantee me new friends but
1t may also bring ultimate re-
suits when salaries are doled
out to our educators in the
years TO come.

My point being just this-a
school teacher doesn't need a
classroom filled with hood

invites personal injury and
mental agony within the squar-
ed circle of a classroom is
worth even a top salary.

There are a lot of people highly
interested in doing all in their power
to have the proposed four-year Pres
byterian College located in Columbus
County and near Tabor City. These
people are looking for some one to
make a move toward organization of
a committee that will at least point
out to the Presbyterian body just what
advantages and disadvantages we
have to offer.
The town board was asked to take
this leadership and start the move
ment but nothing has come of it to
date.
We think it is high time that the
citizens themselves form some kind
of organization and at least invite the
college officials to give us considera-
ton. There are weeks of work that
could be done on this project that
would better inform those who will
make the decision as to just why me
feel this would be good location.
We feel that it is important to note
that we are perhaps the greatest dis
lance from four year college of any
area in Eastern North Carolina.
The number of high school grad
yates that we have each year, the
number who currently enter college
each year from both Columbus and
Horfry counties, the scholastic records
and leadership roles played by local
students in colleges, and a whole host
of other materials would be of intere,.
to those making the decision.

As the so-called boss around

the efforts Of the entire staff
In producing this paper Is
deeply appreciated. 1t took
maximum effort on the part of
everyone associated with The
Tribune to get IL out to you on
time.
Every year our tobacco issue
gets little larger and every
year we look back on the one
IL months ago and see plenty
of room for improvement. Per-
haps the same thing will hold
true next August, but right
now we have a feeling that this
was our best paper during our
existence.
The readers must have felt
somewhat the same. At any
rate, We are grateful for the
large number OF compliments
that the public has passed n
long to US on our August 3rd
paper.
As a national company says,
Progress Is our most import

as we have life and energy, we
will be constantly working to-
ward a bigger and better news
paper.
The newspaper business Is
a three-fold affair-that is, Il
must have leadership. circula-
ton and advertising. We feel
that in the last IL months, the
greatest forward strides In our
history have been made In all
three Of these categories but
that there Is still room for
considerable Improvement.
We lay no claims to knowing
all the answers and humbly
solicit your suggestions at any
time as to how we can improve

PLAIN TALK
A Tear

My heart went out to the buyers last week as
they trudged, silently, through the various ware
houses After the farmers realized the government

the looks cast at buyers weren't Sunday dinner in
vitations.
Little know about the tobacco growing or
buying process, it that the buyers victims
of circumstances They know tobacco and qualified
judges bidding; yet, they work for the other
fellow who in turn works for another guy so their
choice is mot to question who why, just to listen
and do or die"
How different it would be if the government
bought it all and resold it to the tobacco companies
at price Is 20 bucks higher than what they paid
on the floors To bid would then be the buyers

LETTER FROM A "WHAMMY" VICTIM

This IS the Kind of letter would expect a
whammy" victim to write home
Dear Nom:
Just breezed into Tabor City Two innocent
looking tubes afforded cordial welcome by the
police department
The officer, believe his was Watts, was a
real sport He smiled the whole time he asked
my name, looked at my drivers license and wrote
the ticket.
Actually, only travelling about AZ in a 35
mile speed zone Truth is that 80 is probably too
SLOW In this town The whammy is merely n
money-making device and l adhor it On the first
day of operation they trapped 20 persons.
It's no wonder they haven't had anyone killed by
an automobile in the town limits since 1853 . They
won't let you drive fast enough to do that much
damage.
believe sign to that effect at the city limits
would do lot of good for those who are habitual
