Short-Sightec. Tourist Policies

By LYNN NISBET SHORT-SIGHTED - An editorial in Sundays Atlanta newspaper chidM the people of Georgia for t short-sighted policy In dealing with tourists. Noting that speed traps gave the state a bad name, and that resentment against them has lost to us many a tidy new industry, the editorial says:

Now it is developing that in addition to speed traps, many a racket is in operation along main tourists, in some cases with the cooperation of local law enforcement officers. Passers-by with out-of-state licenses are Invited tc gamble and otherwise enjoy themselves in illegal fashion. The cards, of course, are stacked. Complaints are countered with polite blackmail.

There have been instances of speed trap operation in North Carolina but it has never been general. There are relatively few sore spots. This State was among Uw first to coordinate efforts to eliminate the blot. Every agency which deals directly with tourism and travel, from the Governors office down, is on the job. This is especially true of the Highway Patrol and the State advertising division. Not all complaints on part of touirsts are justified, but when instances of racketeering or rudeness are discovered the response Is official apology instead of polite blackmail.

The general attitude in North Carolina is to treat the touristfrom outside or from other sections at the stateas a wel* come guest rather than a game bird on which there is always an open season. At the same tirhe he is not accorded any special privileges to violate the law or the rules of courtesy.

HOST SCHOOLS To promote better treatment of visitors several State agencies and the privately financed Travel Council are cooperating in an extensive educational campaign. A program ef host schools has been expanded this year by the Distributive Education section in the State Department of Public Instruction, with State and local departments of public health, the division of State advertising and the Travel Council participating.

Pupils in these schools Include chiefly the personnel which comes In closest direct contact with the traveiersfilling station attendants, waiters and waitresses, cooks and kitchen help, k-otel and motel personnelas well as the operating managers of all such services. The school term 1* three days, with classes

North Carolina is unique in that none of its rivers except the Cape Pear flows directly into the Atlantic ocean, and no ocean front beach can be reached without crossing other waters between them and the mainland. Nearly all these crossings can now be made over bridges, but ferries are still desirkble to save travel miles and time.

Significant modern developments, despite the handicap of geography, have made the names of Nags Head, Atlantic Beach. Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach well known in North Carolina.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) Thousands of Japanese threaten to demonstrate against President Eisenhower if he goes to Japan June 19. He says he will go. Some members of Congress think he shouldnt.

Why the visit? Why the protest?

The visit can be explained first and easiest. The President will leave Sunday on what has been billed as a goodwill visit to a number of Far Eastern countries. Including Japan.

Just how much good is done by these goodwill visits by heads of state is questionable. Nevertheless, they have become almost a custom in the past few years.

The date of Eisenhowers arrival in Japan has significance. June 19 is the date when Japanese ratification of the new American - Japanese defense treaty goes into effect.

Its right on this point the defense treaty that the protest demonstration comes into the picture. Its roots go away back.

After the war this country not only helped the defeated and disarmed Japan get back on its feet economically but started it on a new political course of democratic government.

Still, this country kept its troops in Japan as an occupation force. In 1951 Japan, which still had no defense force of its own, agreed with this country to a defense treaty which many Japanese felt was an Insult. They made these complaints: It allowed the United States to keep Its forcM. number unlimited. in and around Japan Indefinitely; it did not actually require the United States to defend Japan: it let this country use Japanese bases from which to dispatch troops to any Far East area; it left this country free to introduce any kind of weapons, including nuclear ones, into Japan; it gave this country a vto over any Japanese desire to let a third power have bases in Japan; there was no provision in the treaty for ever ending it; and It permitted U.S. forces to crush internal disorder in Japan, such as a Communist uprLslng,

Since then this country because of the peace treatyhas let the Japanese rearm. They have now 165.000 ground troops. 27.000 men in their air force, and 23.000 in the navy.

Finally, to satisfy the Japanese. this country api*ed to a Pfw defense treaty which was signed Jan. 19, i960.

Under it. the United States no longer ha.s the right to crush an internal disorder; agrees for the tivsi time in writing to come to Japans defea'se in ca.se of attack: agrees to con'uilt with the Japanife government before making any change in Us rmed forces, weapons, or ba.s-e.s; auree.s to con.snlt with the Japanese be fore deploying Japan - based American forces

anywhere in Asia: gives up the veto power over letting a third nation have bases in Japan; and the treaty can be ended in n years, although if neither side wishes to end it it can go on indefinitely.

There was widespread Japanese opposition to this treaty, and protest was made to the government of Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi whose Liberal Democrats had an overwhelming majority in Parliament. He rammed it through.

This infuriated the outnumbered Socialists. They were and are a powerful force against the treaty. Then there were Japanese Communists who followed the line of the Soviet Union and Red China in denouncing the treaty.

Added to these are Japanese neutrals who fear military entanglement with the United States may get Japan involved in a Par Eastern war.

Then there are the Japanese studentssometimes called radical. sometimes liberal who oppose militarism, fear a new kind of colonialism, this time by America; or believe the wave of the future in Asia lies with communism and Red China.

All these forces Socialist. Communist, Liberal, radical, neutralhave combined to oppose the treaty and therefwe Eisenhowers visit.

On top of all this most Japanese papers, while hot necessarily opposed to the treaty, feel its ratification should not have been hurried. Many of them are demanding Kishis resignation and new parliamentary elections to tst the popularity of the treaty.

Easteni Carolina has its own historical drama. It is The Third Frontier written by Ker-mit Hunter, the author of Unto These Hills and Horn In The West.

The Eastern drama opens at New Bern on June 11 to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of this historic town. The season is short as it will only have a two weeks stand. The pageant is to be given in the air conditioned school auditorium.

New Bern has an impressive lists of firsts, in history and tradition. The pageant will give the highlights of these, the political life of the colony, the building of Tryon palace and other points of Interest.

New Bern is leaving not one of its historic stones unturned. During the two week celebration there will be special features every day. It is significant that June 11 is the opening day as this is the anniversary of the founding. Few occasions begin on the exact day.

We can sec Miss Gertrude Car-raways influence in all the plans and arrangements. It is to her that should go much of the credit for the preservation of the old landmarks and the restoration of Tryon palace.

Miss CarraAray began the campaign or movement to put out historical markers throughout the state on the highways. She has much to preserve in her beloved New Bern and she has seen that the treasures are treasured and available for all to see. She is helping to make New Bern one of the top tourist attractions in this state.

Miss Carraway began the campaign or movement to put out historical markers throughout the state on the highways.

She has much to preserve in her beloved New Bern and she has seen that the treasures are treasured and available for all to see. She is helping to make New Bern one of the top tourist attractions in this state.

Now on this birthday all North Carolinians join in rejoicing in the celebration. New Bern is famous for its beautiful architecture. The first printing press in North Carolina was brought there by James Davis. He came to New Bern from Williamsburg, Va-, as the first printer in this province, through invitation and subsidy of the North Carolina General Assembly.

On his own Mr, Davis began the first newspaper in North Carolina. This was in the first week of July. 1751. But he came to New Bern June 24. 1749 as the printer for the legislature. For you remember that the first state legislature was held in New Bern and this town is the first capital of independent North Carolina. The general assembly was in session in New Bern before Trybn palace was built.

New Bern saw the first book printed, the first newspaper, first free school for white children and the first public school for Negroes in the state. On the other side of the ledger the first death sentence Imposed by a federal coiirt in the nation was in New Bern.

There is so much to write about New Bern that one article cannot cover the story. The New Bern Sun-Journal put out a most interesting and creditable anniversary edition.

The beat we can advise is that you go and see all the history and tradition that is our* just a short distance away. Go during the celebration (vhen the old homes will be open and there are many added attractions.

Candidate . A modest man shrinking from the distinction of private life, and diligently seeking the honorable obscurity of public office.

Common Sense The most uncommon thing in the world.

A few more continue: Contentment is natural wealth; profanity is a blank check on a bankrupt vocabulary; peace is the thing we are all lighting for.

So the connotary continues. Its interesting how such a limited study of our languages elements can be so thought-provoking.

It is ft pity tiiAt you do not undcratftnd this country. It would sftvft you lrtn so nuuiy mistftkes if you did. I have read somewhere thftt your dear wUe is ft speeiftlist in American history. You might kam something from her.

Be thftt as it may. you ct like ft brute whkh is probtbly because you were not brought up to be a gentleman. You abust. You vUlfy. You shout.

You use vulgar language. You act like ft country bumpkin with a skinful of vodka. It is ft pity because cunningly you rose to a high poiltion la the worlda, position for which you are neither by breeding nor training fit. After all. youf experience has been that of an apparat-nlk, that is, a ward politician maneuvering his way upward by trickery, fawning, cajolery.

You denounced Stalin to whom you owed everything. You bit the hand that fed you. Kaganovich picked you out of the mud andmade stnne-thing of a man of you. What did you do to him? In tils eountry. we would say, you double-crossed him. What did you do to your di^nkinf partner, Bulganin? Where is he todayt Where is your former playmate, Malenkov? Where is 2Ihukov who put you In powr?

Ah I Nikita! You are a amart boy. You can turn on a kopek. You can change your mind at s seconda notice when things go wrong. That is how you outlasted everybody. It is truly wonderful how you outlasted all your ctmirades. The fools, they trusted you.

So. you do not like our President Eisenhower. Did anybody ask you? Wa do not elect a President to please you. That is for Hungary. Cxechotlovakia, East Germany and even Poland. You cannot vote In this country and your foul voice will not sway public opinion except to disgust everybody. You do not like Nixon because he made a monkey of you in your own country. You will not like Lyndon Johnson among the Democrats because be has a sense of honor and dignity.

So. do wt care? Truly, Nikita, we do not give even one damn whether you like or do not like. In fact, if you continue to Insult Dee. the American peo- pie will quickly repeal the 22nd Amendment and el:t him to a third term.

You like, you aay, dead men like Washington. Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt,

Listen. NlklU, Washington and Lincoln would have shown you the back of their hands and as for Pranklln D. Roosevelt, your old Boss, Stalin, did him in at Yalta because .Roosevelt was obviously dying. So was Harry Hopkins.

You listen to American Communists and to such old men as Cyrus Eaton, a Canadian who became an American citizen because he was making money here and who seems, in his last years, to regard himself as superior to the entire American government. Nobody takes him too seriously here.

There was an idiot by the name of Adolf Hitler who thought that he could interfere in the affair* of this country. You will remember that the whole American people including the 40,000,000 or *0 descendants of Germans who settled here turned on Hitler. We were one people against Hitler and your big moutii and bad temper are forcing us to be as one man against you.

Do you kaow, Nikita, thkt,.. every time I write that you are a Ukrainian. I receive letters from Americans of Ukrainian origin demanding to know why I insult them by relating their motherland to you, whom they regard as a beast. It is a very bad reputation that you have.

Speak on! You are making Ike Eisenhower a beloved man, more beloved than he ever was. You are causing Americans to hate you as they hat anything that is foul. ugly, miserable. horrible to behold. You ought to look at the plcture.s they took of you in Paris. Only Dostoievsky could describe such a character as you are (Continued on page 5)

Noticed those new plastic bottles for detergents in the markets lately? They are examples of blow molding, a technique for shaping plastics.

It was introduced two year* ago. Within a short time the plastics industry will be turning out half a billion containers and other items a year, according to estimates of E E. Winne, vice president of W R. Cirace & Co.. one o Ithe largest producers of high density plastics.

Blow molding is an adaota-tion of th* ancient art of gla*^ blowing. A plastic resin is melted into a semi-fluid state and formed into a tube. It is lowered into the mold and air under pre.ssure is blown through the iii.side of the lube and the plastic conforms to the shape of the mold

Among the advantages of blow molding art:

1. Mo.st hollow shapes can be economically produced by blow molding.

2. Blow moidmg is an eco

nomical production method for fabrication on a one-shot or single step manufacturing process. In hollow object, the other methods of plastic* manufacture are injection molding and thermo-forming. Using either of these latter two methods involves joining the two pieces together.

3. If a shape is nonconcentric, blow molding is the only method for producing a Ijollow object.

4. Blow molding produces

.strain-free pieces and eliminates the later warpage that sometimes occurs in other forms of plastic fabrication. Such

warpag might cause some welded plastic parts to separate at the wald.

5. Blow molding produce.^

a more uniform dLstribution of wall thickne.ss a^ compared with injection moldinf, wtilch requires a gradation of thickness in order to fill the mold cavity.

6 Cast.5 for blow molding tools are only a small fraction of the cost of tools for injec

tion molding. Tooling for blow molding doesnt require the pressure and the resistance to pressures necessary for injection molding tools.

COUNTLESS PRODUCTS

Two year* ago there were six companies blow-molding plastics. Today tl\fre are 200 and the industry expects there will be 1.000 by 19(55. About 35 manufacturers make blow - molding equipment.

Among the products now being made by this method _ are jerry cans, carboys, toy tenpins. refrigerator bottles and containers, marina floats, boat bumpers, wttering can*, toy, fcotba,ils. cannisters. baby bottles, vacuum bottles, toy*, and parts and components for Industrial apparaliks, nutomohile.a and appliances.

One factor that has given blow molding an, expansive push is the development of high - density polyethylene, which has considerable rigidity and great tougbne.ss. Thus it mil l)p molded veiy lliiti. saving both plastic and weight.

This plastic is available in almost every color and can be finished in either a high gloss or dull finish. It has great chemical resistance and withstands temperatures below zero and above the boiling point. It resists moisture vapor transmission and has good tensile and impact strength.
