Seldom if ever had the passing of a citizan
Drought similar solemn, SOLDERING realization
10 the town and country folks alike that it had
lost one of its greatest men, its greatest leaders
he untmely death of B. Alton Carroll
sunday was like an atomic shock to the people
and the news spread rapidly for miles around
- IT can be said without reservation that Mr.
darrell contributed more to the economic growth
and prosperity of Tabor City than any other
individual. Without the foresight, ability energy
and integrity of this one man, Tabor City would
not today be Il town of $500 people Tabor CITY
would not be known as "The Yam Capital of
the World" Indeed, Tabor City might still be
an obscure village of little note had not Mr.
Carroll played such leading role in the last
half century.
Mr. Carroll watched and worked long and
hard as Ia Dor City built its economy around
produce and tobacco. In the produce line he
undoubtedly bought more of the farmers COM

WILL lie was known throughout the countryside
by farmers as a man sincerely interested in
helping the grower. 1t was not uncommon for
him to raise his bid on a produce auction
line when ne had little competitive bidding and
felt the farmer should have higher price
Coming from one of the original Tabor CITY
families, still among the most prominent in the
area, Mr.. Carroll entered the produce buying
ana selling business at early age He never
lett 1t although in recent years he became
associate dwlth a number of other businesses
that prospered and are successful.
But his real economic love was produce and

canning plant, Tabor City Foods, Inc One of
the two principal stockholders in this operation
Mr.. Carroll still working long and hard to
strengthen the Tabor Ciy economy and provide
adequate marketing for the farming populace
We can offer no explanation for Mr. Garrelrs
final decision. He was man throughout his
lifetime who made thousands of decisions quick
~ and accurately and successfully. He was
caught in the hurry-scurry business world with
little time for leisure, hobbies or recreation
PerhapS the accumulation of business activities
snapped his wisdom for one brief moment and
brought about this single disastrous decision.
But be that as it may. He will go down in
our local history the number one economic
leader and citizen. There few if any like
him in our generation.
Mankind has benefited by the So years of

contributions to American way of life-to

here to stay for q long time,
what do you do the next time?
The most negative aspect of
stand-up comics is that the
comedian never natures into
a personality. The performer
who wants to get anywhere in
TV has to show his real self
to the viewers. He has to
become a human being who,
incidentally. is a comedian.
For something like 81 years.
I have been making people
laugh in night clubs, theaters
and doing guest spots on tele-
vision. But. it was only last
year after I appeared on the
Paar show that people gave
me a second and then a third
look. I'll tell you why-on that
show I wasn't doing my pat
routine. There was no place
for it. I wasn't pushing hard
for laughs. 1 was just being
myself. If I was funny, I was
funny under a relaxed, in
formal atmosphere with other
funny people. or else / was
reading commercials very Sc
riously or else I was playing
straight man to another come
dian. And for the first time
the TV audience saw several
sides Of joey Bishop that they
had never seen before. Thank
God they liked them.
= =
A genuine comic is a guy
who's told by the audience he's
funny. the other kind is the
guy that tells the audience
he's funny.
The only way to protect a
long and glorious future in
show business is to diversity
and that's why in addition to
my regular appearances on
television and in clubs, I will
be doing summer stock for the
first time, playing in who
Was That Lady?" in Highland
Park, H.. in August, and my
fourth movie. Oceans H."
with Frank Sinatra and Dean
Martin, opens in September.
Just remember. money isn't
everything. I would much
rather be a great human being
and q good comic, than a great
comedian and a good human
being.

PrayersProtest
Anti-bib|eS Suits

MIAMI, Fla, July 10 (AP)
"A church youth group has
launched a round-the-clock
prayer protest during trial of
two suits attacking Florida's S
law requiring reading of the
Bible in public schools.
Thirty members Of the Shen-
andoah Presbyterian Church
are taking one-hour shifts
reading the Bible while the
trial, which is expected to be
carried to the United States
Supreme Court, progresses.
Circuit Judge j. Fritz Cor
don is presiding over trial of
two companion suits, one
brought by a self-styled ag-
nostic and the other by a
group Of Jewish leaders and a
Unitarian.
Harlow Chamberlin, a radio
advertising salesman who de-
scribes himself as an agnostic,
is backed in his suit by the
Florida Civil Liberties Union.
Three Jewish parents and a
Unitarian woman filed a COM
panion suit seeking to prohibit
religious activities in schools,
including Bible reading, bacca-
laureate programs, use of re-
ligious symbols and observance
of Christmas, Easter, Hanukah
and other religious holidays.
Mr.. Chamberlin testified his
i7-year-old daughter, Sandra
Sue, developed emotional dis
turbances and a dislike for
school after hearing her teacher
tell about "the angels and the
devil"
The songs Silent Night" and
Little Town of Bethlehem"
are Objectionable in the public
schools, testified Mrs. Elsie
Thorner, a Unitarian and
mother of two children.

nave LurneQ down recently a
more important to me and my
career to appear on the Jack
Paar Show for. the standard
$500 minimum. or to be inte-
grated as a character in a stu
alton comedy sketch.
= =
My decision to refuse these
lucrative guest spots is based
on the fact that Tv has def
nitely changed the standards Of
comedy. Viewers have gotten
a lot sharper and are demand
ing more subtle comedy mate
rial. What they once accepted
years ago is dull and old hat
now. Why? Simply because
they have seen the standard
comedy routines over and over
again. Look what happened to
a lot of the comics, some OF
them very good ones, who were
on televiSion a while back
gone. They just didn't adapt
to the ever-changing comedy
tastes of their public.
Comedy is the most dificult

you are given six minutes to
