Give Up That Unnecessary Burden

What percentage of the bills and resolutions introduced in North* Carolinas legislature pertain to purely local matters bf counties, cities and towns?

INTEGRATED The Wll-mlnglon area shows signs of more wdlUnglv accepting "Integration" into North Carolina The term as here used has no refer-encf to race or religion, but only to the fact that the Lower Capt' Pear country has more cordial relatlona with the lest of ihe state, economic ami poltica I. than It used to have. The same kind of thing has happened to the other three corners of the state. Time was not so many years ago when there was much pub-llclty about the "lost provinces'* In ihe Albemarle country, the area In the Tennessee Virginia and the Georgia renne.ssee corners. The Lower Cape Fear section was never clas.sed a

Hut whai happen*"" If John doesn't hcllcvc Joe? Therell be an awful mess.

Reentlv the United Slates played Joe to Soviet Premier Nikita Khru.xhfhevs John. Anierl-cim mllUaiy leaders Secretary of Defense Nell McElroy and the Joint Uhlef.s of Staff - said,this couniry has enough unclear homhjH and bomhrrs to flatten the USSR if H start* a war.

Thl* must hav<* been very reassuring to Americans. The Important question Is! does Khrush-<hov believe It? That question was raised hy Gen. Thomas S. Power, commander of the Strategic Air Commands hoinbrr.s which would have to do the flftllenlngi In 59 minutes of brilliant and unbroken testimony before a House appropriations auhcommlt-tee, Power aummed up the whole problem of w'hat he called the "philosophy of delerrenee " "What we think of onrselvrs." Power said, "dne.s not really amount to anything so far as deterrence Is concerned. It is only what Mr, Khrushchev thinks of our capabllltlea that is important fi'om a deterrence point of view.

"Therefore, he mu.sl be made aware of our slrength "

He pointed oiif The one .starling the next war since It would be terribly swift wilh Jet* and missiles would have an advantage. The reason: the one attacked would have only a brief warning at best before it could start retaliating.

Worse atm. the couniry attacked w'ould probably have r\nieh of Us retaUatory power destroyed In the first onslaught.

Hut would suffering that terrible damage be, for Kbru-shchev, worth enduring in order to win the war? Only Khnrschrv. not the United States, could know the Ritswcr to that.

To compllcat-e thiug.s. Power said, Khrushchevs idea of how much damage the Soviet Union could suffer might vary from week to week. That brings the story back to how much Klirush-chev believes about American strength and how much he believes about Soviet strength.

Power said "I think Mr. Khru.xhchevs Sputniks and .scien-ttsts are telling him they are away ahead. I am sure hLs air defen.se command people are telling him they are the greatest.

"If there are any slgn.s of weakness that came out of this country. I think tht could become a very dangerous comhtnation. So there Is a danger of miscalculation

"Deterrence Is meaningless un-le.;x Mr. Khrushchev Is Impres*-ed with our capability.*'

As of now. Power said, he thinks this country has so much power that Khrushchev can make no mistake about Us adequacy. The general added "Our real mission, you might say, Is to have that Soviet planner get UI from hi* table every morning and turn to Mr. Khrushchev and shake hts head and say;

(Hertford County Herald)

II ha.s been turned up through the pres* that there are a lot of congrefcsmen who have been playing their jobs for all they are worth. By Ihelr own enactments they have set them.selves very gencrou.s expense allowances ;al-lowance.s for office rentals, allowances for office help and allowances for this and that, The.se enactinent* of the congressmen, do not say that the congressman have to spend all of these allowances they are set up to be u.xed If and when the individual congressmans duties require these extra expenditures to properly do hts job for his con-sLltuents and hts country,"

But, as we were saying, it has been turned up that a lot of the conres.smen have been playing their jobs for all they are

worth Whether they have had

need for the extra allowances for office space and for help, et cetera. or not. they have been using up all the allowances. Some of them have iMten renting offices In their own homes In their wives names and they have put wives, sisters and other relatives on Ihelr payrolls at fancy salaries for doing work that was

In name only. This is not a

very good example for these congressmen to set for the rest of us w'ho are taxpayers. If In business an employee was found padding his expeitse account* and playing fast and loose with the company money, he would be

fired from his job. And this is just exactly what the constitu-tents of the congressmen guilty of tbti practice should do for them vote them out of office.

There is a big name for the practice of giving lush jobs- to relatives. It Ls called nepotism. It is a poor practice in business. It Is equally poor in government. When the people elect a man to office, they elect an individual and not all his family. It is to be expected that the politician elected to public office should show preference to his friends and supporters when there are Jobs to be fillel but brothers, sisters, wives, nephews and cousins, that makes too much of a good thing. Giving a man a job in government does not mean that the government or the job la his permanently out of which to make the most, a* if it were his private property. When an officeholder loses sight of the fact that he or she is no more than an agent of the public, serving in a public trust, then that officeholder has become a public liability and Iri-voluntarily surrenders the virtue to hold public office.

And the above applies not onlv to congressmen who play their jofcw for all they are worth, but all along the Une in county and municipal government. We w'ould -add, in fairness, that the congre.ssman serving thte dLstrlct ha* not been listed among those who have padded their expense accounts and payrous.

sures irough anothers Ups. But, it is a sadness more than that, even for those who were a part of it.

Azalea Time 1959 Is a memory now, and nothing more. That is a sadness in Itself, although this is not to say that all memories are sa(i or bad or regrettable, and nothing more.

Memory becomes sadness In that it exists because something else is lost. It cannot be tangible, as the original element was; it cannot be pressed to a breast, as a spray of azaleas might be; It cannot be ral, save in the way it is seen by the minds eye and the minds eye has a way of its own in seeing what it will In something that Is a victim of time.

Azalea Time 1959 is a certain sadness because it can never be again.

It is gone as a reality, and any memory that Ungers must take it* place with other, equally impressive recollections first dates, graduation nights, prize times at county fairs, quiet walks mooniights ^ and (LsiUam

trips to shady spots in the summer time.

No doubt Azalea Time 1959 was real, in just the way the honest, appealing young friend meant. No doubt it will be almost real to her for a time yet to come.

But, one day, every vestige of reality will drop away, and what was once a beautiful and vital thing will become just another recollection. It will, no doubt, be a beautiful recollection but it will not be the real thing.

That is the certain sadness in every moment of beauty it will never be again.

By HAL BOYLE ' new YORK fAP) Jane Morgan, who has 300 hats and spends up to $2,500 for a single * gown, was paid $25 a week for singing in a balirqom here in 1946.

Bight now Jane, known as the Fascination Girl, is spend-ing exactly one thousand times that to create a new night club act.

"You dont Just get up and sUig a few songs, she said. You have to put on a small revue.

A new act costs $25.000enough to produce an off-Broadway drama.

But that kind of show has angels to back It. A night club performer has to put up his own dough;*

This Interesting behind-the-scenes peek at show world fi-^ nance was given by Miss Morgan over a steak sandwich luncheon. Blonde, blue - eyed and beautiful, she showed up wearing a striking Christian Dior suit the color of mellow old money. Where will her $25,000 go?

"Half of it will go for getting the material for the show, she said. "I have six writers working on it.

"The other half will go for the " wardrobe. Sometimes I envy movie stars. The studio supplies their gowns. We have to buy our own."

In addition to the six writers, Janes 45-minute act wlU require the services of a producer, g musical director, a choreographer, a dress maker, a lighting expert, two song and dance lads and 10 fiddle players. Then, of course, there are also her personal manager and her maid-secretary. ^ ,

All this money and talent is being spent for a four-week engagement beginning late this month in the Hotel Plazas Persian Room, a tpp showcase for the national supper club circuit.

"You hope you can make it back on the road. said Jane a bit grimly, "but if the reviews are bad, there may be no road. "You never really know.

It is unlikely Miss Morgan will meet with this particular disaster. She is a top star in one of the most elite circles in show business. It is made up of fewer than a dozen girls who can average $3,000 a week in swank supper clubs across the country.

But her $25,000 investment is good only for about a year. Last years night club act is as dead as yesterdays newspaper.

Jane shows no sign of strain, however. She worked 52 weeks last year. Besides her supper club warbling she is also a popular recording artist and one of the busiest guest stars on televl^iSfi.

She turned <^n an offer to have her own 'IV network show thife summer.

It sounded wonderful she said. "But what happens to these summer replacement shows, no matter how much the public kfcea aeon as "the first

cold wind blows, they disappear and are forgotten.

Jane comes from a musical family. Her father was a symphony orchestra cellist, her mother a concert pianist and singer.

Recently she bought a 40-acre farm, "Blueberry Hill," near Ken-nebunkport, Me., and likes to act in a Maine summer playhouse operated by her brother.

"Someme I want to do a real Broadway musical. she said. "And I want to work in the theater. That Is my real Interest. "I hate night clubs!

Yep, in spite of those 300 hats, those $2,500 gowns and that $3,000 A week salary.
