The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1962-05-03

"A happy ending for good men
and sad ending for bad men"
says Peiping's official Red paper,
is spreading capitalist theology,
distorting facts and violating Com
munist party policy. This is not
only wrong but downright poison
Gus. This gives readers the mis-
taken Illusion that a beautiful fp-
ture will dawn on them by just
being good. A beautiful future will
never come without a bitter fight"
What I want to know is-who
dreamed up the idea of indoctrina-
ton first-the OAR or Mao?
THE YOUNGER GENERATION
There's been a lot of talk about
a conservative surge on the cam
pus. But Fletcher Knebel, in the
Washington Post, says he won't
believe it until he sees college
boys striking against their par
ents for the right to earn their
own way through school.
OF course, talk about the young
er generation is hardly new. Back
in 1000 BIC, an Egyptian priest
mourned that "Our earth is de-
generate in these later days. Chill
dren no longer obey their par
ents." And Socrates, in the fifth
century BE-, complained that chill
dren mo longer rise when their
elders enter the room" They con-
tradict their parents, chatter be-
fore company, gobble up dainties
at the tables, cross their legs, and
tyrannize over their teachers"
Yet / can't give up our younger
generation for lost when l hear of
the five-year-old boy whose par
ents decided to hole up for week
in a radioactive fallout shelter to
find out what life would be like
under such conditions. The young
ster, reports the United Mine
Workers Journal, came up with an
idea that might help us prevent
World War III. He suggested that
President Kennedy and Soviet
Premier Khrushchev spend the
week with the family under
ground.

ton with attempts at religious
discrimination. Plans were all set
for Operation Jarba"-a goodwill
project to send 20 to 80 Harvard
boys to Jordan, to help resettle
displaced Bedouins. Sponsored by
CARE, the program was attracting
many applicants at Harvard's Phil
lips Brooks House. Then Jordan
itself threw a monkey wrench into
the works by insisting that Jewish
students be barred from the prof.
ect. When news of this. Arab boy
colt against American Jewish vol
unteers reached the Faculty Com
mittee, they turned thumbs down
on the whole deal. Dean John
Monro noted that many students,
including a number of Jews, have
urged US to be broad-minded
enough to overlook this" But, he
insisted, Harvard cannot "be in
volved in a project where we must
ask questions about religious belief
and make decision on this basis"
WHO'S REAsONABLE7
1.-THE reasonable man." George
Bernard Shaw once trenchantly
observed, "adapts himself to the
world. The unreasonable man per-
sists in trying to adapt the world
to himself. Therefore, all prog
ress depends on the unreasonable
man."
NO CULLAH HERE
There's something particularly
exasperating to me about individ-
ual members of minority groups
who are themselves prejudiced.
Yet, this happens all too often. A
Negro unionist, enrolled in a civil
rights course I taught at an ALL
Go summer school in Ohio, told
the class about a bartender who
refused TO serve him because Of
his race. The browning insult, my
Negro friend intimated, was that
that bartender was a foreigner.
He couldn't even speak good Eng
lish." When I asked if he would
have preferred to be Disseminated
against in better grammar, he had
the grace to look embarrassed.
All of which reminds me of Har-
ry Golden's story about the ele-
CANT restaurant in Nevada owned
by Chinese couple. The cashier
is Anglo-Saxon, the mattresses are
the bus girls are Navajo
Indians and the janitor is an ex-
change student from India. But
one day, Negro family entered
for service-and the Chinese own
er ran at them, shrieking: mo Gull
lah here, no cullah."
COMPACT PROSE
Sam Levenson, reports the Unit
ed Mine Workers Journal, over
heard a Jewish boy trying to ex-
plain Yom Kippur, the Jewish
day of penitence, to Christian
friend. LET me put it this way"
the youngster said. "Yom Kippur

director of the United Brewery
workers, said he'd like to see the
following headlines in the daily

CASEY JONES RIDES AGAIN
One of Americas favorite work
heroes is Casey Jones, a brave
railroad engineer who died in the
wreck of the Illinois Central Can
nonbasi. We think Casey might
be willing to share his pedestal
with another rail hero, Harry
Detering, a 28-year-old East Ger
man engineer, who recently roared
his train at SO miles per hour past
startled border guards at Al
brechtshof, and carried 20 rela-
tives and friends to freedom in
West Berlin.
Inspired by OFFERINGS heroic
dash, labor publieist Alton Levy
and I wrote Casey Jones Rides
Again" Here it's:
''Our engineer" the passengers
had nearly all agreed,
Must be a model worker to
,,ne maintain 50 great a speed
He hasn't left the throttle once
throughout the whole long
night,
.4COmrade Khrushchev will be
4, pleased with this Stakhan-
,,o ovite."
Casey Jones-when you hear
the 10wdown,
Casey Jones-you'll laugh to
beat the band,
Casey Jones-the reason for
no showdown,
The engineer was racing to
the promised land.
At last the train came to stop
the passengers got off.
The border guards kept shout
ing, "This amt Albrechots-
hof!"
The engineer was laughing with
unbounded joy and glee,
He had brought his train and
riders through to liberty.
Casey Jones-yoh'n have to
share the glory,
Casey slap him on the
back,
Casey Jones-hail the Free
dom Rider
Who put his Iron Horse right
back on freedoms track.
HARVARD MIXES BIAS
In 1848, a Negro youth applied
for admission to Harvard Univer-
sity. Faced with a decision con-
corning the first non-white appli-
can't President Edward Everett
settled the issue then and for flu
ture generations. IF this boy
passes the examinations, he will
be admitted" President Everett
declared. "And if the white stu
dents choose to withdraw, all the
income of the college will be de-
voted to his education"

Speaking of nuclear war, the

after he had pumped 600 gallons
of oil into the shelter that he fl

Some months ago l wrote about
two anti-Franco sailors, Juan Pc

ship, and were ordered deported
back to Spain, where their anti

hours before the men were to

ROTARIANS HEAR
WATERWAY TALK
BY DR.. HARVEY

DR.. w. w. Harvey, Jr., chair
man of the Dare County Water
ways Improvement Committee,
spoke to some 35 Rotarians at
a. regular meeting of the club
on Monday night at the Manteo
Motel. The chairman gave the
club a review of the committees
s-activities from it's founding in
1859 to the present.
DR.. Harvey stated that until
1859 no method for improve
ment. of canals in the county
was available. "We had then a
situation whereby the county
owned canals, but had no right
of way to provide for their i'm
provement; nor was there an in
strument for allotment of money
for dredges," Harvey stated. A
bill was introduced in the 1859
session of the N. C. General As,
sembly called can Act to Auth-
orize Waterway Improvement"
"This legislation gave countIe
the rights of way which wore
needed and provided for expenai
ture of county funds to provide
sfor one-half the cost of their
, Improvement" he said. Addi-
tional funds were to be provided
from state and federal sources.
The chairman noted that funds
were still slow in coming for
waterway Improvement. The
Rivers and Harbors Act, known
as House Bill No. 1919 provided
federal expenditures for water
way improvement to supplement
local funds. "In 1860 a master
plan for Dare was provided by
the committee which called for
a number of expenditures in the
county for vitality needed work."
he said.
One of the first projects un-
dertaken was the dredging Of
Collington Canal, which had be-
come badly shoaled during the
hurricane of 1854. Later, the
canals at Duck were cleared as
a result of action by the COM
