FARM SCENE BRIGHTENS

The farm scene in this area was
greatly frightened Friday night when
Ralph jolly of Tabor City was select
co North Cardinals Outstanding
Young Farmer"
jolly, a quiet, conscientious young
man who devotes full time to farming
is the first Columbus County man
ever to win such recognition. HIS
achievements since purchasing his
own farm in 1916 were judged the
most outstanding of any farmer in the
State.
In Jolly's selection, there is much
to be happy about. 1t gives proof that
farming in this area is not on the
Gown grade. However, in order for
other farmers to find optimism ON
the farm scene they must accept to-
oacco revenue decreases and supple
ment farm income with other crops.
We extend to jolly our heartiest
congratulations and best wishes in his
quest for national recognition. To the
Tabor City Junior Chamber of Com
merce, we add our congratulations
for their excellent choice of Jolly as
their representative for Columbus
County.

RENEWED VIGOR

Ruey Hewett has started off his
term of office as president of the
Tabor City Merchants Association
with lot of enthusiasm and effort
and that's just what the job must have
TO keep the organization of business
men active.
In calling a meeting this week, the
directors again see the need for en-
ploying another executive secretary
and efforts will begin Immediately to
find the right man. The organization
has had hard time in recent years
in getting fulltime man who would
stick with the job more than a few
months.
Also noteworthy, the directors are
aware that there is competition for
the consumers dollars these days and
nave planned another town-wide pro-
motion to be known as Discount
Days" This is expected to be another
big event in Tabor City with some
real savings in store for the folks
who trade here during a ten day
period starting March %.
It's good to see the Merchants
Association so active. It's just what
every town must have or drop behind
the rest of the area in the time of
changing economy.

Misconceptions
About Council

Editors Note: a third release
in u series Of articles on the Stu
dent council prepared by the
council of the Tabor City School
and LcVcrnc Ward, reporter.
There are u few dangerous
, misconceptions, however, which
should not pass unnotlCcd. Net
every student council has been
successful and not every princl-
pal who has had a student coun-
Gil in his school will agree that
il was a profitable experience.
There are often miSunderstand-
ings about its place and its
functions that might cause need
less trouble and give wrong I'M
pressi2n,s9.
1t should be clearly stated at
the outset at the time the stu
dent council is first organized
that there are three areas of
, authority in the school:
. !. The area which is given
over to the student council to
run as it will. In this area, t2e
. student council has complete
, control and can run a prograIa
successfully. Or cause it TO fail
, miSerably.
, ,. The area in which the stu
dent council shares control or
responsibility with the faculty
, and administration. This IS the
largest area in the school and is
, the one in which most studan,
-, councils are now doing their
best work
3. The area which does not
concern the student council and
o. in which it has no right to lcgis-
I late. II should always be under
stood that the students have the
right TO express an opinion a.
bout any school matter, but this
third area is that area in which
the council should not be per-
mitted to pass any legislation
II the students understand at
the very beginning that there
are some areas in which they
have complete control, some
area which they must stay out
of-then there will be much
less opportunity for misunder-
standing and subsequent disilus-
ionment. Undoubtedly much Of
the trouble encountered by some
student councils is due to the
fact that they never knew the
limit nor the extent of their
power or authority.

WHAT is A NEWSPAPER?

1t makes me sick when ! think of all the self
important newspapermen who glance at the Sheriff's
Department scandal and turn their ypewriters to less
important things.
We Just don't have the facts" says some of tie
newSmen who would like to get their fingers into the
sensational story.
tts poor excuse and one that tends to condemn
modern newspapermen. 1t might point out the DIS
advantage in having people give stories newspapers
Ihc initiative and ingenuity of newspa permen must
be at low ebb
The facts IN the case available to a newspaper
man but none 0f the subjects going to chase him
down and throw it in his lap 1t Just isn't done on
such matters. Those closely involved aren't seeking
publicity but they have their hearts the right side
and are making effort to clean up a rotten situa-
ton.
1t doesn take a smart newSpaperman to get a
statement from solicitor a sheriff when sucn
scandals arise II does take better than average re-
porting to be able to present both sides of the case
1t makes me wonder why people attach such r:-
portance to daily newspaper work while frOwnng on
country journalism. Most folks out of the newspaper
business, think fellow has received a promotion"
when he quits the country field and goes with daily
newspaper.
IT'S actually more rewarding to be associated with
an obscure weekly that has intestinal fortitude

Arthur
Says
By-Billy Arthur

Judging by the temperature
OF the March wind as it plays
tag with a feller's threadbare
coat tail, Spring amt hardly
got here yet; but l can smell
her coming over the hill, jus.
the luther side of next week."
That's how North Cardinals
post laureate James Larkin
Pearson introduced his Morav-
ian Falls Fool Killer readers
to Spring at the turn Of the
century. He went on:
After going through the
suffering and hardships Of a
rough winter, Spring is like
swapping castor oil for sour
wood honey. 1t is like being
walked up out of a bad dream
by the kiss of an angel. 1t is
like getting a divorce from
cold feet and marrying the
queen of comfort.
when young Spring takes
old Winter by the slack OF the
pants and losses him back in
to the Valley of Used TO be,
there is genuine rejoicing thu
oughout the kingdom of nat
urc. All the young green things
come out and take off their
hats and bow to each other as
politely as a young rooster
presenting his pullet with a
new found worm.
Even the green young man
and the green young girls catch
the infection of Spring, and
before the doctor can get there
it has developed into a hope
less case of puppy-love. and
they swear they don't want TO
get well,
Spring is very modest and
also very uncertain Some
times she will send warm
day ahead to advertise her,
and then she will fail to keep
the appointment. Again she
will drop in as unexpectedly
as a man who has borrowed
money from you and has come
to-borrow some more"
Other Tar Heels have noted
the coming season. When
spring arrived in Wilson in
1888. Josephus Daniels ~
ported in the Advance that
"our drug stores are beginning
to look quite Secdy."
The editor of the Goldsboro
Messenger in 1858 proclaimed.
BLESS the spring, for it is the
vernal time when all things
swim along as they list, and
the world is permitted to 60
its own way more than usual.
Dresses muSS the heart q little
more than they did in cold
weather? for there are other

the birds they sing, and the
buds they grow, and the pretty
girls walk, and the men run
after them.

IS HE A PROPHET

Charlie Rarer, genial Columbus County farm
agent said in the outset that it wouldn't surprise
him at all if Ralph jolly national honors in the
outstanding young farmer contest sponsored by the
Jaycees. Ralph took the first big step when he
named North Carolina's Outstanding Young Farmer"
last Friday night at Rocky Mount.
I'm like Charlie, cause it wouldn't surprise me
if Ralph nailed down one of the national honors at
Durham on April Is, 16.
In offhand sort of way, the honor accorded
Ralph pays tribute to County Agent Raper. After
all, it is Raper whom farmers look for advice and
Ralph has never been hesitant to call on him

Hear Giants Hank
Thompson To.Bow
Out OF Baseball

Miami, Fiat may be a little
premature, but rumors are rife that
the New York Giants Hank Thomp-
son is planning to quit baseball
completely and settle down as a
poultry farmer.
Thompson himself set the basis
for the prediction last week as he
prepared to enplane for New York
from Daytona Beach following his
outright release to Minneapolis. He
was expected to make the final de-
cision momentarialy as to whether
he would quit baseball outright or
go along with Giants President
Horace Stoneham's request to give
it try with the Millers.
Thompson, a nine-year veteran
with the Polo Grounders, has been
repeatedly at odds with Giants field
manager Bill Rigney, who he felt
hadn't given him fair shake. But
what brought matters to a head for
Thompson, according to observers,
was the blow to his pride which he
suffered when every team in the
National League waived on him.
Said Thompson: "This is like a
punch below the belt. | just can't
believe nobody wanted me-"
Regarding his differences with
Rigney, Thompson feels that he
could have made the Giant s roster
this seaosn if he had been given a
fair chance to play.

Negro League
Opens New
Season May IS

Memphis - The Negro Ameri-
can League will open its 1857
baseball split season here May 10
with six teams competing. The
new entrants are the Mobile Gu
ban Giants, a team made up of
players from Cuba, and the New
Orleans Bears, owned by Leroy
Robinson.
The opening date will find the
Memphis Red Sox facing the Bir-
mingham Black Barons, but the
other teams in the loop will have
open dates. The first half of the
split season will end July 4.
Besides Mobile and New Orleans,
the other regulars in the league
are Memphis, the Barons, the
Kansas City Monarchs and the De-
troit Stars. The Mobile club is
owned by Willie Davis, wealthy
businessman.
The new teams were accepted in
the league at its last meeting here
recently, presided over by DR.. J..
B. Martin of Chicago, president.
Meanwhile, the teams have gone
into spring training for the ensu-
ing season. The Monarchs are
training in Jacksonville, Fla, the
Stars of Birmingham, and the Red
Sox, in Memphis.
The league was to have a seventh
team, the Jacksonville fla
Eagles. DR.. Martin said he had
instructed Jim Williams, owner
of the team, at a previous meeting
in March to forward check to his
office in Chicago before the last
meeting. However, the check did
not arrive and Williams did not
attend the April meeting. Will
liams had made application for a
franchise for his club.

are people of considerable means,
experienced in farming and indus
try. There is a need for their
skills in France.
Still the French exodus from
North Africa presents an acute
problem not only for France but
to much greater extent-for the
newly Independent countries of
Morocco and Tunisia, and for AL
geria as well.
According to latest statistics,
there were 1.750,0OO Europeans in
former French North Africa, in
GLIDING more than a million in AL
geria, 100000 in Morocco, and
100000 in Tunisia.
So far the number of French
men who have emigrated to metro
rolitan France is estimated not to
exceed 10000, or less than 10
per cent of the total European
population of North Africa.
However, the emigration move
ment is gaining in momentum from
month to month. A report from
Morocco, dates April 2, 1857, and
published by the weekly Democrat
in Rabat, says that in 1856 1852
Europeans left Morocco and went
abroad. Among them were 1000
French officials who had been re-
placed by Moroccans, some 800
farmers, and more than 1000 tech
nical specialists and professional
people.
The report adds that many more
have made known their intention
to leave and that the French ex-
odus from Morocco is expected to
reach 10000 in 1857.

points of tension" she said,
were when minority group persons
became members of official boards
OF the church. She reported a
general consensus of opinion that
testing periods seemed to be
necessary for both the congrega-
tons and the persons joining.
Ministers felt that positive re-
suits came from growth that was
slow; yet some felt that fast mo-
ton was necessary, too"
The majority of ministers felt
alone in this process of church
indignation" Mrs. Bobilin report
ed.
The researcher included some
quotes from the ministers:
"The Indignation process was not
a comfortable thing. There were
constant upsets and there still con-
tinues to be upsets. The whole
thing effected the leadership sit
uation. In general the people who
stayed with the church were emo
tionally stable. There are about
four groups in the way they re-
acted to the change. The first
group was in the minority .
they stayed because it was an in
tegrated church. The second group
were "stuck" in the area. They
were also a minority they
couldn't get out . and they were
used to coming to church. The
third group was the majority and
are waiting, still thinking it over.
The fourth group is a minority,
too composed of the strongest
leaders. They are here because
they have a feeling that there is
a vital fellowship here. They make
it so -.
There was no plan for integra-
ton. 1t just happened A lot
of credit has to go to the Negro
families who have been sensitive
to the problems.
"Integration shouldn't be sensa-
tional,. 1T is not our purpose to be
ans>4integrated church but to be
"a church Indignation is not
an issue that should be voted on
or an official decision to have a
resolution on whether or not the
church should be integrated. Our
inspiration for Indignation has to
come not from ideals but from the
spirit of the living God"
