Butler to Stuy

OF Democrats

Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler announced
yesterday he had decided to re-
tain his present Office and not
to run for the Indiana Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination.
Mr.. Butler gave as his reason
for these decisions his belief
that he could be of greater
service to the Democratic Party
at a time when it was vitality
important for the Democrats to
win a sweeping victory in the
1858 congressional elections. He
said that the campaign had
been carefully planned, and in
his opinion he could contribute
more by continuing in his role
as national chairman that II
can contribute by turning this
over on the eve Of the cam
paign to someone unfamiliar
with our carefully mapped plans
in order to further my personal
career"
In making his announcement,
Mr.. Butler took the occasion to
deliver another blast at the
Eisenhower administration. De-
claring that the country needs
a substantial Democratic ma
jority in both the House and
Senate. he said that every day
1t becomes more apparent that
the President and the execu-
tive branch Of the Government
are not going to provide vigor-
GUS leadership and programs to
meet the Soviet military chal-
lenge and the economic situa-
ton in this country.
"A mild recession" he said,
has turned into a serious de-
preston"

Rooms Wanted

Next Sunday. Monday, and Tuesday
800 high school students Of the state
will be needing sleeping facilities in
Chapel Hill homes while attending the
North Carolina Student Council Con-
gress here They were invited here by
the Chapel Hill High School Student
Council.
Many Chapel Hillians have Univer-
sity students in their spare rooms. Few
have special guest rooms available.
But these teenagers have for years
attended slumber parties and summer
camps. They need have no choice rooms
with sleep-luring mattresses. An extra
bed in a room will often suffice. The liv-
ing room or study studio couch, which
so often serves as a sleeping post dur
bad television shows, would be boon
to student council congressman. Even
a bedrol on cot or an extra mattress
on the floor, providing the heating Of
the house were suitable, would make
an excellent bed for the two or three
nights the students will be here.
I'VE have 100 placed" said Mrs.
Bernadine Sullivan, faculty sponsor Of
the Chapel Hill High School Student
Council, and we feel sure that more
will be invited to spend the nights in
Chapel Hill homes We are asking the
hosts to serve the students breakfast
each morning but all transportation
needs and the other meals will be pro-
vided by adult chaperones who are ac-
companying the teenagers here. The
chaperones will stay at the Inn or at
motels"
This is a rare opportunity for Cha
pei Hillians to show their hospitality.
This is rare opportunity for Chapel
Hillians to let the people Of their state
know that this is a fine, open-hearted
community This is rare opportunity
for parents to set an example in graci-

Low-Flying Sausage

During the Carolina Maryland foot
ball game on October l8 two airplanes

Jones Sausage plane came first. When
the Stallings Salad Dressing plane ar
rived it was driven away. But it came
back. Around and around over the
heads of the $4,000 football spectators
flew the battling planes.
Many football fans were greatly
alarmed by the danger overhead. Some
said they'd never buy either product
again as long as they lived. Many ours

Surely the Civil Aeronautics Associ-

they can fly, should be notified of the

fans were subjected and the Association
should take immediate action that this

P.T.A. Membership Month

October is Parent Teacher Associa-
tion membership month. Every effort
will be made this month to increase
the membership of PTAs of the schools
in our land
There are many reasons for the ex-
istence of the PTAs in our schools. They
have fostered better education. They
have provided facilities that have en-
haDced the teaching program. They
hate supplied money for playground
equipment, science clubs, dramatic
clubs and other "extra-curricular" &C
tivities. They have let the parents know
what their children are doing during
the day.
There have been many reasons why
people do not want to belong to PTAs
or at least do not want to attend PTA
meetings. Too many such meetings are
boring: Thus one metropolitan PTA
program consisted Of the showing of
slides of airports in the West Indies
and in South America (they all look
ed alike on the slides). One of the better
schools in North Carolina featured an
interesting" speaker at each PTA
meeting. One was q supposed humorist

Buses for Cocktail Parties?

Many Chapel Hillians and other
"sobef" people of the country attend
cocktail parties and then drive home.
Although large majority of these peo-
pie do not drink enough to be under
the influence many have conscience
qualms about their driving when they
are not at their mental best Many are
not sure whether they are under the
influence" or not. Many realize that
they are under the influence" only
after they are under the drivers wheel
and are too far along the way to let
another passenger drive or to take a cab
home
What can be done about this dang
erous situation? 1t may be granted that
people are not disturbed enough about

1t has always been a mystery to
me how anybody could be pleasant all
the time. Day in, day out, any time
you see such person he's smiling
and apparently genuinely glad to see
you and help you with any problem you
may have.
To such person nothing is so seri-
Gus that it can't be put aside for some
thing more pleasant, nothing too bother
some or vexatious for happy solution.
To such a person life is uncompli-
Gated because he is SO busy sharing
himself with others he has no time
for self pity, or, indeed, little time for
self appraisal. And, Of course, being
good to others takes time, because there
are SO many others to be good to- It's
almost full-time job in itself. But no
matter how busy such a person is, he
always manages to find the time to be
pleasant.

Now and Then
By Bill Prouty

Lem Carson is a little, wiry man,
with black hair and dark eyes which
gllsten through horn trimmed glasses.
In the past three decades he's probably
delivered enough groceries to Chapel
Hill housewives to fill up University
Lake
And along with the groceries he's
also delivered lot Of happiness with
his happy-go-lucky smile and efferve-
scent disposition. There's hardly house
in Chapel Hill that hasn't felt the warm
tn Of his personality.
At my house, he bursts into the
kitchen, cartons Of groceries on his
shoulders. How're you, Prouty?" he
says, unloading the groceries from the
baskets or putting the cartons down
on the table "How's your motherf"
he'll ask; or if she happens to be abed
and not feeling well, Lem will walk
into the bedroom and say What are
you doing in bed, Mrs. Prouty, you
know we need you up and around" Or
if Mother and / happen to be in the
kitchen when Lem comes in, we have
short pleasant session on anything
that's in the news either nationally or
locally
But never does the talk get so seri-
Gus as to long hold back genuine laugh
or two from Lem, who just naturally
sees the lighter, happier side of most
any problem.
His departure is inevitably sudden
and on a pleasing note. Never has he
left our house without it's being a lit
tie brighter, happier house. Multiply
this by several scores, and you have
a cross section of LENS daily mission.
Like anybody who carries happiness
with him all the time, Lem lets the Lord
do most of the worrying about his prob
lens. Deeply religious, Lem takes great
pride in his church and its congrega-
tion.
Out at a recent annual Carson re-
union at the home place off Old Lystra
Road, Lem standing among his children
and grandchildren, said to me: "Its
wonderful having all these folks here,
Prouty; and do you know not single
one of them has ever heard an angry
word between my wife and me. Never
as long as we've been married have we
ever had an angry word"
And when you see the smiling faces
and hear the happy voices of the Carson
clan gathered around the table laden
with good things to eat, it isn't hard
to believe. The whole family is the same
way. A good disposition, though rare,
is often infectious, and sometimes
hereditary, 1t would seem.
In this day of extremely complicated
problems and exacting living, we could
use more Lem Carsons. If we had them,
we'd have less fIsing and fighting and
we'd get more fun out Of living.

only because the class having the larg-
est number of parents present was Civ
en- cake). The other speakers were
equally uninteresting and their topics
unrelated 1to the work done in the
schools.
Many parents see very little of their
children and want to remain at home
in the evenings rather than attend PTA
meetings.
With the crucial decisions regarding
our schools ahead of US, people may
well want to strengthen the PTA or
ganization and take an active part in
its work. 1t is indeed challange. If the
programs are devoted to the work of
the children and how the parents can
share in the educational progress of
their children, very few parents will
want to miss them, even when they are
held often.

GATHERING INSPIRATION for
the annual rodeo, Gene Benroth and
his family have been vacationing the
past two weeks in the golden west.
While in Sheridan, Wyoming, the
natives put stetson on Gene and
adopted" him and his family as
their Travellers of the Week" The
result was that the local secretary of
the Business Mems association was
given the keys to the city by fellow
Chamber of Commerce officials of
that city.
Equipped with free tickets to the
rodeo (Which, Gene writes, lasts day
and night) the Benroth family took
in the show, dined at an Italian rest
aurant, had the family Buick serviced
and stayed in one of the city's finest
motels with the Chamber of Com
merce picking up the entire tab. The
honored travellers of the week
appeared on the radio and were
pictured in the newspapers of the
city.
Earlier last week, among the sights
viewed by the Benroth family was
the famed Corn Palace in Mitchell,
South Dakota. Friends of the local inn

Series of Teen-Age
Parties Planned by
Youth Federation

The first in a series of teen parties
to be held the remainder of the sum-
mer was held Wednesday evening in
the American Legion hall.
Plans for the series originated at
meeting of the Youth Federation ex-
ecutive committee last Friday eve
ming. The Rev. James Heininger,
Youth Federation advisor, said each
of the service clubs in Bluffton will
be asked to sponsor one of the teen
parties this summer.
The American Legion sponsored the
opening party in the series, held last
night, opening their hall to the teen
ayers.
The Youth Federation executive
committee felt local teen-agers have
little to do during summer months
and this situation gave rise to bore.
dom and unconstructive activity.
Parties will be from to IL D. m
Dancing, games and refreshments
will be furnished.
