AUTUMN is FOR THE EYE
lSmithfield, N. g, Herald

(Smithfeld, N. c., Herald)
Autumn is not really made for
the nose; it's for the eye.
Those who praise the autumn
smells may wax ecstatic about
the deep rich odor of ripening mus
cadines, about the mellow fra
GRANGE of a tree full of mountain
apples. or about the pungent per-
fume of wood smoke from burning
autumn leaves. But autumn is the
time when "the goldenrod is yell
low and the corn is turning
brown" Autumn is the season of
goldenrod and purple asters-and
who ever smelled either of them?
Not even the bees or the butter
flies. Anybody who foolishly tried
to smell goldenrod probably ended
UP with hay fever! Chrysanthe-
NUNS and zinnias never bother to
exude perfume, and the fall mari
Colds have almost a bitter smell.
It's spring - not autumn - that
was made for smelling. It's honey
suckle and apple blossoms and the
hawthorn bush and even the privet
hedge that tell US spring is here,
that say: "Come out and inhale.
Spring is in the air. Don't you
smell it,"
But autumn is strictly for the
eye. Color runs rampant through
the trees, the woods, the hills,
along the streams and in the gar
den. Dogwoods have a virginia. dis
play of pure white blossom in the
spring, but they save their bright
red berries and their splash of red
and gold and orange leaves for the
autumn.
The gums turn early and serve
as a torch to set the rest of the
woods afiame. Naples, hickories,
sweet gum and sourwood blaze up
in autumn symphonies of gold and
scarlet, red and bronze and copper.
The sumac fiauns its double glory:
it's leaves are red and yellow, its
clumps of seed a rich and snowy
red. The strawberry bush bursts
open its rough. pink pods to dis
close scarlet berries that give it
the apt name of "hearts Dustin
with love-"
You can enjoy autumn with a
cold in the head or even if you hold
your nose. But keep your eyes open
for their autumnal feast. Autumn
is truly for the eye.

WHO'S RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE?

From the Jacksonville (Caif) Register ajaronian)
Angry spokesman for the Eisenhower administration
get purple in the when suggested that
the military chan of command system is perhaps not the
ideal way to operate the government of republic.
Certainly many White House details can be handled eff
fcienty by Sherman Adams and his staff But the people
of the United States didn't elect Sherman Adams President
The impression we've been given, in assorted magazine
articles is that Mr. Adams, Mr. Esenhowers assistant
ht top of things the inner councils of the Govern
ent and that even when Mr. Eisenhower is absent i'll
the devoted and able Uncle Sherman there to that all
goes well. Fine and dandy, maybe.
But consider this paragraph from U. S. News and
World Report:
Sherman Adams Assistant to the President is so busy
these days that it took highrankng member of the
Presidents staff two full days to get Mr. Adams
the telephone Besides his regular tasks at the White House.
Mr. Adams together with Leonard Hail. is master-inding
the Presidents campaign for reelection"
How do you like that? While the President and Vice
President busy with their reelection plans the Assist
ant President busy with business and politics
bned that he won't talk to other members of what
called the white House team"
Who do you suppose running the White House these
days-the chief telephone operator?

SEGREGATION IN THE NORTH

christian Science Monitor)
1t is surprising how many
Americans believe their principal
racial problem is confined to the
South. For the fact is that nearly
'ne-third of the Negroes in the
United States now live in the
North. They are largely concen-
rated in Settles" within cities,
welve having a population of
100000 each and three nearly
100000 each. And adjustments
IRE by no means always easy or
'eaceful, as recurrent disturbances
prove.
There is no legal segregation in
he North but segregation forms
he general pattern wherever
arge groups Of Negroes are found.
Their own desires to live among
heir own kind plus economic
uressures tend to restrict them to
certain crowded and deterioratine

M. G. HOLLOWELL OBSERVES
SOth BIRTHDAY TUESDAY

M. Graham Hollowell, the grand
old man of Mays Head, and the
oldest business man on the beach,
observed his 80th birthday Tues
day by driving to Elizabeth City
on business trip. Mr.. Hollowell
has been in the hotel and store
business at Mays Head for nearly
go years. For many years his
establishment was the most i'm
portant place on the soundside
where it remained until the steam
boat lines were displaced by a
modern highway. He moved his
buildings across the beach more
than 25 years ago and he has con-
tinued to operate his mercantile
business near the oceanside.

There's no secret formula for con-
trolling termites.
Ask him to show you the dam
age or the pest. If you are troubled
with termites and the colony is
active, soldier and worker termites
will be present when you break in
to the damaged timbers. Also, if
the damage is caused by termites
and not decay, there will be mud
in the damaged timbers where the
termites have eaten wod away.
Beware if he wants to charge
by the number of gallons of ma
terials used. This does not give a
true picture of the work that is
needed to control the termites.

neighborhoods. And since children
normally attend schools nearest
their homes segregation naturally
governs there too as a general
practice.
Such segregation although never
touching the experience of millions
of Northerners, greatly concerns
many city and school officials. In
some cases they are attempting to
force a mixing of races-even go
ing across normal school zones to
do it. The theory is that mixing
is itself educational. Directly in
volved is the old concept of the
melting pot" as an adjunct of
democracy. And there is insist
ence on the right of equal oppor-
tunity.
Considering the official and po-
litical efforts to combat segrega-
ton in the North it has proved
remarkably persistent. In several
respects it resembles a phenome-
non American cities have long
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from abroad
forming their own racial or ma
tional enclaves, maintaining their
own customs and languages, even
their own newspapers. Often the
forces making for such clannish-
ness come as much from within
as from without.
So it with the American Negro
i'm the North and the South. Too
often it is assumed that segrega-
ton is a wholly artificial pattern
enforced by unworthy prejudice.
Some of it is like that. But much
segregation comes about naturally
through the same processes of Sc
lection which cause individuals to
choose like-minded associates or
families to seek congenial neigh
borhoods. And white resistance to
Negro migrations within cities
arises partly from the fact that
such movements are usually in
groups-due in turn to Negro de-
sires to have friends or relatives
as neighbors.
Officials in the North who are
trying to force a mixing in the
face of such forces of natural
selection should be able better to
understand why desegregation
moves slowly in the South. So too
should Northern whites who OBJ
ject to their neighborhoods being
changed either by racial migra-
ton, by industrialization or by any
social force causing deterioration.
And possibly also Negroes who
prefer not to live alone. in white
neighborhoods, preference which
reduces the opportunity for them
to be treated as individuals and
centers attention on race.
All of US can deal more wisely
with this situation if we reeog-
nize that here there are two rights
in conflict. One is the right to
equal opportunity. The other is
The right of the individual to
choose his associates. Both are
closely related to the, democratic
ideal. To enforce either against
the other by law takes something
away from that ideal. To seek ac-
commodation Of the one to the
other by voluntary action supports
the democratic ideal and is likely
to bring the most practicable anG
enduring solution,
