AIbemorIe's Editor
Set The Pace

No human being can accurately
determine the worth of Abe
marle's John Bale Harris to his
community. to his state, and to
the newspaper profession in which
he labored for 80 years But let it
be said by those who felt the i'm
pact of his influence that his
worth was great t. The vacuum
created by his sudden death last
Thursday won't be easily filled, if
it is ever filled.
John Harris was no vain COM
munity joiner. When he did join
an organization or link himself
to movement. he worked hard at
whatever tasks were before him
and the group; and he worked at
those tasks for the good they
would bring to the community.
never for any value his work might
nave in enhancing his own pres
tige He served terms as president
of his Lions Club and as president
of the Albemarle Chamber of Com
merce. He took his Christianity -
the pure kind = seriously and
worked increasingly in his be-
loved Methodist Church. He was
a leader in the movement for
new county hospital. He was a
devoted servant of Pfeiffer Col
lege. an institution dear to his
heart. At SO he died in action
while attending a Pfieffer fund
raising meeting in Albemarle.
The newspaper friends of John
Harris were aware of his home
interests. for he wrote about them
in his paper and talked about
them in lobby conversations at
press conventions. But the news
paper folks knew him best as
highly competent newspaper exec
utive with a high sense of editor
ial duty. His Semi-weekly news
paper, the Stanly News and Press.
became under his leadership one
of the finest community news
papers in the United States. In

and Press set the pace among the
non-dailieS. in professional excel
lence. in circulation. in advertising
volume, in sound management
generally. The papers news cover
age was consistently outstanding
and its editorial page one of the
finest IN the state, whether in the
daily or the non-daily field. Many
ambitious Tar Heel newspapermeii,
especially IN the non-daily field.
looked to John Harris for guild
ance and to his columns for in
spiration to do a better job on
their own papers.
He was a leader in the North
Carolina Press Association, an Or
ganization which he served as
president a decade or so ago. His

CAMPAIGN TACTICS

This is an election year. and
from campaign headquarters OF
various candidates there already
comes evidence that the segrega-
ton issue will be at the FORE
front in prediction campaign
ing.
We shutter to think what could
happen to the South if certain
politicians let this explosive ques-
ton become the sole issue IN the
Forthcoming campaigns.
AS has been evidenced in the
past. We fear that mud-Slinging
will replace sound and logical dis
cussions of the issues at hand.
This. of course, will do no more
than further complicate the al
ready very complicated problem
that is facing the South.
Here in North Carolina, for in
stance, any progress that is being
made toward peacefully solving
this complicated problem could
suffer serious Set-backS if dema-
gogism is allowed to go rampant.
The segregation issue will be a
focal point in the various cam
paigns, but candidates should be
able to discuss the question with
out STOPPING to low-level cam
paigning tactics.
Sound-thinking citizens can
help keep the forthcoming pre-
election campaigning on a high
level.
This can be accomplished by
simply letting the candidates know
-slinging and the like are not
appreciated; that candidates will
be judged on their own merits and
not on their ability to degrade the
opposition.
In the heat of a political cam
paign it is sometimes difficult to
know who is right and who is
wrong: and which issues are vital
and which issues have been in
troduced simply to muddy the
water.
Hence it is extremely important
that citizens remain calm, level
headed, and employ sound reason
ing during the campaigns that
loom ahead.
Indications now are that these
campaigns will be bitter. but there
is no excuse why they cannot be
clean. You can help make it so!

Report From Sen.
Seott's Office
By BILL WHITLEY
Press Secretary To Sen. Scott

PARCEL POST. Sen w. Kerr
Scott has asked for early hearings
on a bill he introduced last week
that would establish u nj + o m
weights and sizes for packages
mailed through parcel post.
In introducing the bill, Scott
said both the farm and urban
people in North Carolina have
been hurt by the size and weight
limitations law enacted in 1851. =
Under present law, the sizes and
weights of pacakes sent by parcel
post are greatly limited when they
are sent either from or to a first
class post office.
EXPRESS. According to Scott.
the present limitations on sizes
and weights of parcel post pack
AGES were put into effect in an ef-
fort to keep the Post Office De-
partment from competing with
private express firms.
But the total effect Scott
said. "has been to put merchants
and their customers to a lot of in
convenience without giving any
real assistance to private express
companies.
Figures filed by the Railway Ex-
press Agency with the Interstate
Commerce Commission show that
the number of express shipments
in less than carload lots has stead
ily decreased since the present law
went into effect.
Meanwhile. it has been neceS-
sary to increase the rates charged
on parcel post packages in order
for the Post Office Department to
break even on fourth-claSs mail
operations.
FARMERS. The Presidents veto
of the sarm bill reminded lot of
Democrats of the story about two
policemen who came across man
lying in an alley.
As one of the cops rolled over
the body. he said to his buddy:
Two of the wounds are fatal,
but the other one amt so bad. ="
