TOO MUCH INDIFFERENCE

For the past fourteen years, Tabor
City has had q Merchants Association.
Part of this time it has been a fine
Merchants Association but like every
thing else, it has had its ups and
downs = periods of extreme enthu-
siasm and success and periods when
things weren't going so well.
We suppose that any small town
has had about the same history with
Chambers of Commerce and with
Merchants Associations.
But Tabor City has continued to
grow, progress and expand in many
directions in the past Ia years and
the time has come when there is no
longer any reason why our association
should have to Struggle for its very
existence. 1t has long ago proven its
worth and while there may be periods
even now when little tangible success
is known to all, there can be no doubt
that the few dollars it cost the mer-
chants each year has been profitable
investment for everyone.
There has long been too little real
organization behind the financial end
OF our association. The dues paid by
merchants have long been too uncer-
tain and it required too much effort
on the part of a handful of people
to get these pledged receipts in to
the associations bank account.
Some of those most interested in the
continued success of a good associa-
ton, are now trying to get the finan-
clal phase of the association or y
standardized, business like basis. II
Is again going to require a great deal
OF personal contact and sacrifice,
time on the part of the progressive
and energetic merchants.

WASHINGTON - The tobac-
co price stabiliZation bill has
finally passed both the House
and Senate after many months
of pickering and dwrangling that
at times put the future of the
entire tobacco program in jeo-
pardy.
The bill has been sent TO the
White House. and see no rea-
son why the President should
not sign it.
The opposition to the bill,
which stabilizes prices at the
1888 level until further pronunn-
ced increases in production costs
take place. came mainly from
those who want to destroy all
price supports and acreage con-
trolls. 1t goes without saying that
removing price supports would
virtually ruin North Carolina's
farm economy.

thered it's biggest storms. I think

culture should take a long hard

Midshipman Bishop has q
perfect conduct record He did
mot receive q single demerit In
-four years. He never walked q
minute Of extra duty.
His classmates have averaged
about l80 demerits each. To
them 1t is incredible that Bishop
could make 1t through four
years of strict discipline with
out once getting "fried," mid

What's his secret?
Don't try to beat the sys-

Dement'S may be handed out
for hundreds of reasons, rang
ing from q less-than-perfect

The records Of the conduct
office show Bishop is the ninth
graduate with a 40 (perfect)
rating in conduct. The feat was
last accomplished in 1858.
The soft-spoken midshipman
admits he was lucky to make
|it. He thought the jig was up
during June week Of his sopho-
more year. His watch had
stopped. and he was five min
lutes late getting back to the
Academy.
