largely on IA straight days of rain

Cash receipts this year show a

been sold and more 81 children:s
tickets have been sold. The sale of

Looking Better
With clear weather prevailing
again, the current week was off

with 100 persons in the audience on

North Carolina who remarked

the Lord made her like He did,
with the infinitude of her willing
ness to sacrifice when her heart
strings are touched by the pain and
the need that touches others less
fortunate.
Well, my friends, let me say, as
I say to the old griper who snarls
at the short-snorter. A man who
never got in over his head in the
soup that cheers" deserves no
credit for leaving it alone. The man
who deserves the praise is the one
who needs its solace for his grief
and his pains but can still pass it
up, is the man worth while.
/ think Mr.. Editor, no man should
have a bonus for serving his >coun-
try or for doing his duty anywhere.
No man should have to be praised
for being a good citizen, or must
be Dragged about when he pays his
debts. What in the world ais people
who think they are entitled to a
Red Cross medal for dragging
neighbor and his cart out Of the
ditch.
And so it is always. Who of us
really think anybody is a great man
or a great woman, if they bse
sleep at night and get up at all
hours to look after their sick chill
dren. Why should anybody be
praised if they bring up their off
spring in the way of the Lord
After all, it's their children, and
it's their duty, and by golly if the
kids go wrong, it's the parents who
ought to be criticised and punished.
They're the ones to blame.
They amt no two sides to it.
The folks with the genuine love Of
their fellowmen in their heart. and
love of their God, and a sense of
their duty is more often the folks
who are willing to adopt some
homeless child and help it along
life's rugged road. Power to'e1n.
Yours for cold wave,

was his Bible and dedicated call
to the ministry. With the authority
of a "preacher-in-charge, he told
the people that Sunday morning he
had come to be their pastor and that
the first consideration would be the
building of a new church in that
community to be called the Lake
wood Methodist, Church. According
ly, Mr.. Hayman named the first
sunday in July 1910 as the hour for
calling for volunteers for mem
bership, and the vote on whether
or not to undertake the building of
a church. On the first Sunday in
July, Mr.. Hayman preached at
eleven O'Clock on the subject of
"The Foundations of God" using
as his text a verse from Second
Timothy, chapter 2, verse 10
Nevertheless, the foundation of
God standeth sure. From that
hour there was no doubt but that
Mr.. Hayman would lead his mem
bers to successful contamination
of til erection of this Church.
When he gave the call for member

teenagers; the remaining fourteen
being adult persons.

OTHER EDITORS
LESLIE THOMPSON WAS A
GREAT CRUSADING EDITOR

Leslie Thompson belonged to
that hardy breed of smalltown
editors who champion the causes
of right and justice through the
pages of their weekly and semi
weekly newspapers without fear OF
favor.
Crusading, small-town editors
are a dwindling group on the
American scene today, and we are
saddened by the fact that these
thin ranks have now lost one of
their best, Leslie Thompson pub
Usher and editor of the News Re-
porter in Whiteville.
When we say that Leslie Thomp-
son was small-town editor we say
it pridefully and with the greatest
respect, for he carved a news
paper career in Southeastern North
Carolina that not many others can
match. He brought to Whiteville,
an editorial excellence that con-
tributed to Whiteville's overall
progress over a good many years.
He was well-known among news
paper circles throughout the state,
and was former president of the
North Carolina Press association.
Mr.. Thompson's News-Reporter
grew and expanded under his 20
odd years of guidance, and his edi-
torial page reflected his honesty,
integrity and courage.
We of the newspaper fraternity
will miss this man, but his death
is also a keen loss to Whiteville,
Columbus county, and southeastern
