A Partnership In The Aid Program

A direct and stern challenge to the leadership ability of the United States in helping other nations sllve their severe economic problems faces this nation in the effort to launch an Alliance for Progress program with its Latin American neighbors.

In a nutshell the program is envisioned as a 10-year undertaking in which the United States, together with the nations f Latin America and help from developed countries of Europe will try to solve many of the economic problems which face underdeveloped Latin American countries.

The very fact that the program has been proposed by the United States indicates a new awareness of the importance of economic stability and economic growth in Latin America is to the political stability of the Western Hemisphere and the free world. The fact that it has broad support among the leaders of many Latin American nations suggests that It may not degenerate into a dollar diplomacy economic aid program that on occasion has back-fii*ed on the United States in some parts of the world.

Since World War II the United States has concentrated on helping to rebuild the economy of countries of Western Europe which were almost destroyed during the war. It has given some attention to the economy of its neighbors in Latin America, but never

Winston-Salems !i^ed Letter Day

By LYNN NISBET

BIO DAYWtnsUm-Salem ha become such a big city that It is no longer susceptible to the impact of "big days* which used to feature the experience of small communities. But big as the city'may be, it seems likely that October 2 will be a red letter Wg day for Winston-Salem. Three events are scheduled for that date, any one of which would be entitled to headlines.

On that date R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, chief Industry of Twin-City and one of the biggest firms in the country, will formally open and dedicate it* $30 million cigarette factory in Whitaker Park.

On that date, also, the State Board of Conservation and De-. velopment will meet to Joln_ In the dedication ceremonies. And the Travel Council of North Carolina will be holding its fall membership meeting and parti-cif>ate in the activities. TI C&D board and the Travel Council will have separate business sessions, but a good part of the overall program will be coordinated.

Guided tours through cigarette factories have become recognised tourist attractions in North Carolina, and the travel business which has been rather loosely classed as "tourism, is one of the states major economic assets. Zt is responsible ^ putting nearly a billion dolais a year into the channels of trade In North Carolina.

To fscilitate and encourage this development the privately financed Travel Council cooperates with numerous State agencies in conducting training courses In food handling, courteous treatment by travel - serving employees, and oUie rproject*. These short course schools which have been designated a* "host schools are being given a somewhat more dignified name. Hereafter they probably will be known as "hospitality clinics.

TRAVELERSAttaches of Gov. cmor Sanfords office deny and semblance of a contest between him and his predecessor for the title of the "travellngest Governor, But they are wiUing to accept a challenge, on basis of total mileage. In-state mileage and out of-state trips. Oovmior Sanford has not yet visited Europe. Asia or South Amertcsr but after all he hasn't been in office but seven months. He has been to Hawaii, which used to be foreign travel, but now is a part of the United States.

His aehedule for the past week

{ives his sides a point on which y basa argument. He i left Raleigh Sunday RK>ming for Atlan

ta from where he took off for Los Angeles and other points on the West Coast. After two days and sevnral hundred miles shuttle travel In California, he showed up in Wahlngton for a luncheon Wednesday, and then made a speech at Mars Hill in North Carolina that night. Another speech in Charlotte Thursday and a news conference in his office at Raleigh that afternoon.

If somebody quesfions whether this kind of getting about establishes s record, his aides apologetically comment that what with getting his administration underway and the General Assembly, he Just hasnt had time to do much traveling yet.

TIME- It is hard for old-times to realize, but the fact is the Ctovemors Hodges and Sanford, despite their perambulations all over the world at all sorts of ungodly times, ^iU were able to give as much attention to their office here as their predecessors had done. The Governor can leave his office at noon, keep a business conference in New York or Washington, and be back at his desk by closing time. Twenty years ago a trip to Charlotte or Wilmington would have taken as much or more time.

LOVE VALLEY-The authentically reconstructed "old west community at Love Valley, in the heart of the North Carolina Piedmont in Iredell county, will be the scene of an iinusui kind of party on Labor Day. Andy Barker, owner and developer of the unique facility, has dedicated that day to the Cancer Society of North Carolina. Admission will limited to those invited, but will not be free. All the money collected at the gate will be hirned over to the Cancer Society for its campaign against the No. 1 enemy of public health.

The pn^fram will be different from any other in this part of the country for celebration of Labor Day. It will consist of bronco busting, steer ropttig. square dancing and other facets of an Old West woen about which many peoj^ have read, but only those who have visited Love Valley have seen.

Contrast in the slmoephere of this Old Western community with its adherence to traditional cui^ms of another area and another age, and the modem Industrialized city of Statesville with its ultrasuper highways and commerce. Is strikingnd well worth seeing.

It is expected and hoped that receipts from this event will put the 1061 crusade for prevention of cancer well over the tc^.

before has the program of giving long-range assistance to Latin America attained the position of importance that it now seems to enjoy.

As it begins to iron out the details of the proposed program in a conference of 20 Pan American nations, the United States must be careful to recognize the fact that it cannot build economic stability in any Latin American country by merely pouring dollars into the economy of that country. There must be a well planned program in which the United States is a partner with the country in seeking to raise its economic level and solving some of its most severe economic problems. There must also be an awareness on the part of the United States that while it can afford afford to give many kinds of assistance, it must not place itself in a position of committing itself indefinitely to an unrealistic give-away of taxpayers dollars.

In the interest of its own long-range welfare as well as that of the nations it proposes to assist and the other nations of the free world, the United States must^ successfully meet this new challenge which is being presented in Latin America.

The key to long range success, in our opinion, will be a cooperative program in which the United States provides assistance in many forms, but one which likewise requires that the nations involved seek to help themselves as much as possible with the U. S. aid being only of a temporary and supplemental nature.

We would be doing ourselves and the nations we seek to help in Latin America a grave injustice if through this new program we treat them as charity cases which are dependents of the United States rather than partners with it in the effort to raise the economic levels of the nations in this hemisphere.

Training School Site To Enjoy Easy Access sy alvim taylob

noax

The site selected for Pitt Countys new industrial training center will provide the county with a central location for the facility which should assure its maximum use by people of Pitt and surrounding counties who wish to take advantage of the schools program.

It would be too optimistic to suppose that the site selected by the County Board of Education and approved by the Pitt County Board of Commissioners and representatives of the State Board of Education will be greeted with unanimous approval throughout the county. The site which has been selected, however,. a full length white and gown and provides easy highway access from practically every ^ dressed in

section of the county and is about as centrally located as could be expected. The site likewise is located where the necessary utilities and other facilities for the school can be provided without excessive expense.

The Board of Education is to be commended for expediting the selection of the site for the new school.

With some 20 sites to consider, it was no small task for members of the board to give consideration to each of the proposed locations and evaluate them in view of the use which is to be made of the new facility.

Now that the site for the new industrial training -

center has been selected and approved, we trust the Mrs. Peggy Smith, a Reflector

Board of Education will continue to carry out the re- employee, reports that herband

raainder of the project with the same deliberate speed *' recently,

it has accomplished the initial steps so far. It will take time to prepare the necessary plans for the school, let bids and begin construction, but we are confident the Board of Education will continue to push for completion of this important new county facility as early as possible.

The industrial training center will provide many benefits for Pitt County in the years to come, and the sooner the school can be put into operation, the sooner the county and its people can begin to realize the benefits which will accrue from this new institution... benefits which will accrue from this new institution.

Numerous persons reported seeing it so I guess its true and Im not referring to the Russian manned satellite.

This was a couple who showed up at the Pitt Court House Saturday morning. The two alighted from a taxi. The girl was dressed in a wedding outfit including

his Sunday best. It was apparent they planned a marriage. It was also obvious they were hunting a marriage license. The two mounted the steps leading to the court house door. But alas, the court house is closed on Saturdays as they found out when they tried the door.

Observers reported the couple went off arm-in-arm, apparently undaunted by the delay. Aint love grand.

Jimmy Smith HI Is one of the Greenville Fire Departments staunchest volunteers so Peggy

thought it would bs nice to have a cake made in the shape of a fire helmet.

She called the bakery and asked the clerk If this could be done. It could, the clerk replied, and then asked, How old is the little fellow.

There was a long silence when Peggy informed him that h* husband would be 24 years old.

An elderly Negro man visited the Sheriffs office the other day.

Deputy Loyd Manning asked if he could help.

"Yes sir, the man replied. His adopted daughter, now living in Connecticut had been keeping some government bonds for him. Now he had found out she had cashed them against his will.

He explained that he had taken in the girl as a child and raised her. ^ gave her the bonds for safe keeping.

tig i:"rograms Are In Trouble

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP)President Kennedys biggest tests in dealing with Congress ccrnie in the next few weeks.

So far he has relied heavily on President Eshenhowers method of avoiding temper tantrums on either side. He has done pretty well.

But his programs which Congress approved have been fairly conservative and, in the main,

Qoncontroverslal.

*nie real tough onesforeign aid. federal aid to education and medical care for the aged are in serious trouble. The medical care bill is In such distress it looks dead for 1961.

Kennedy has given the impression of more determined follow-through than Elsenhower, although whether this is true will be shown in the way he handles himself with Congren from now on.

Elsenhower from the beginning acted as though his White House leadership job were to keep down conflict, not only abroad but at home.

This may be considered In the end his greatest contribution.

When he took over the country was split by McCarthyism and all that Implied; harshnees and suspicion.

Elsenhower sweated it out. stayed calm, kept hands off. and in the end Sen. McCarthy destroyed himself poUUcallyi

But this buslness oi staying above the strlfdin dealing with L/DiniOIlS Congresswhen ImporUnt leg-islation runs into serious oppositioncould be and was at times fatal.

Kepndey has worked hard in two directions to gel Congress to go along with him:

1. Through his staff members who maintain conMant and personal contact with the senators and representatives. ^

2. Through his own direct contacts with them White House conferences. Whits House break-fasts, telephones calls.

Always, however, he has avoided even minor personal unpleasantries with memhrB of

\

Congress, at least in public.

He has obtained approval for one piece of legislation after another although, as mentioned, almost none of It was of the kind ot bring on filibusters or frenzies.

In fact, the'one piece of legislation which might have induced a filibustercivil rights he very carefully never sent to Congress at all, even though he had inromised in the 1960 campaign to make this one of his earliest efforts with Congress in 1961.

The medical care program-after various assaults from within a congressional pigeonhole ticularly from the American Medical Association seems to have disappeared for this year in a congrssional plgenhole marked: "Rest In peace.

Kennedy cant claim he exhausted himself fighting for this one. On Uie other hand, he reportedly has decided to make a last ditch stand for his foreign

Sid bill.

His recent TV talk on trouble with communism over Berlin in whioh he stressed dtnger and asked for stepped-up defense may have helped make passage of the foreign aid bill easier.

He has appeared far from aggressive in defense of his aid to education bill pects for passage bright.

TO THE EDITOR:

I 0 not own any property in the now "much-talked o{ re-devedopment area. But I DO own a heart full of sympathy for the property owners of this area. In my humble opinion some Injustice has been done to these property owners who own their house and lot which they have labored so bard to own and beautify according to their financial abilities-I understand that the . S-Constitution gives people the right to own property wherever they see fit to buy it. So now It seems to me that this freedom and right has been tsdcen away from these property owners. Also I claim that the way the vising was done is illwl. Those hundre<te of p^le who DO NOT OWN PROPERTY IN THIS AREA had no right to ote against the real property owners and order them to give up their property, sell it or move elsewhere.

In the first place the voting should have been done by the property ownCTs themselves Ih this area. Then if a majority of them voted for giving up their property, the hundreds of non* property owiwrsbut residents of the City of Greenville, could then come in and vote for or against sharing whatever expense is necessary for the rede-vel(H>ment area. This seems to be a fair and Just way to handle the matter.

Besides this the taxpayers may lose a lot of money since streets, underground facilities. IH-etty trees, flowers and homes may have to be Umti up. How would the property owners outside of tWs area feel if the real property owners of tWe area bad the right to vote and compel them to give tq? their homes sjhI place they love so well and where they have lived so long? If it was real necessary to beautify the City of Greenville and make it more attractive to outside resident-seekers, then why did not the City just let the people vote for enough bonds to seciue money and lend this money to the iM'opcrty owners of this redevel<H>ment area and have them to do their own improvements suffldwtly to erase the slum looks oi their ioperty and let them enjoy livttig their some home and place.

This would be much better when justice is oonsiderpd-Good neighbors may have to be separated, others may And it necessary to move out of town and do business elsewhere. How much more benefit will the city gain then wRh just a little more beauty added? Now siiK;e the redeveloiKnent plans are in progress, the dty. automaticslly. has the sole responsibility to see that those who live hi the redevelopment area, are placed where they can be happy and at peace again.

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS UP THERE

A lady who is a skillful grower of roses recently gave me a personally conducted tour through her garden. Such roses I had never before beheld. I knew the skill, patience, and devoti(m which lay bettnd this wonderful achievement.

Yeb as I left the garden I found that I was asking myself,

"What must the roees by like up thre? Where? We caU it heaven, but concerning Its location we know nothing. All we do know is that this planet on which we live is the result of certain physical patterns and vibrations. There may beundoubtedly there areother patterns and other vibrations. There may be planets so glorious that we would be Mruck speechless if for an Instant we could look upon their glory. And a* for that ultimate glory which men call heaven, that indeed must be something so far transcending our imagination that we can <mly believe that the God of love who made'us has prepared for our eternal dwelling place a "region which corresponds to His greatness and glory.

Bosh and nonsense I hear some exclaim. How do you reconcile that with science? The answer is that no one in his right mind would try to do so. All we con do is to recall and cherish the works of the great Apostle: "Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into Hie heart of man the thli which God hath prepared for them thiU love him. (I Cmr. 3:9).

The British taste of humor is

pungent and daring but mrely has it reached such perfection as the British Brcdcastiiig Corporation perpetrated. They manufactured a composer, Piotr Zak, said to be a Pole and they played a composition by the afore^d 2^. ei^ed "Mobile for Tape and Percussion- No such Zak exists or ever existed. No Polish compose bears such a name. The imme Is phoney from every standpoint, just as the so-called mu&ic is phoney. B.B.C. was having lots of fun and did not get caught.

According to Susan Brodslmw, an employe of the B-B-C. music divisloii, she and Hans Keller, another employe, pulled off the hoax with official approval. "We dragged together all the instrumwits we could find and went around the studio banging them.

I wish I might hve beard their satire. I am sure that it could not be very different from some the modern composers who seek to prove not that they can make music but rather that they have been to school and have learned instrumenta-tdon. They stablish beyond doubt that they know the difference between a tympanum and a btcs drtmi. to say nothing of the difference between a bassoon and a bass fiddle.

Having eatabliahed their great knowledge of the mechanics of music making devices, tbess composers need ideas, emotions, dncertty to put together something tiiot can be remembered and repeated. This takes not only intelligenoe but maturity. This, of course, does not coma readily. Wagner, for instance, wrote purposeful music. He had a goal, an ideal, a passion. He revised the ancient traditions of the Teutonic peoples, Just as Verdi inspired revolutionary nationalism as an Italian ideal. If such compooera draged together a bunch of instniments and just made noise, they would undoubtedly have done as well as the PTMent noiee-makers who only make so much noise to cover up their paucity of ideas.

But the B-B.C, folks did not lack ideas, just os Wu Ting-fang knew what lie was doing when he Invented Chop Suey. It is said that when he was ambassador to the United States, some callers asked him if he could concoct some Chinese food for them. They did not know that no Chinese gentleman goes into a kitchen and that their request was vulgar. Birt Wu Ting-fang was no vulgarian. Polity be went Into bis kitchen, took all the left-overs In the ice-box, threw them into a pot, covered them with soy bean oil, and a little of this and that fcH* flavoring, heated the stuff and called it Chop Suey. Perlmpe that is how soma ancient Hungarian Invented goulash or some Frenchwoman dis-covered the possibility of bouilla-baJase. (The same tale is told Li Hung-cbang.)

B.B.X. manufactured a musical Cap Suey, without meaning, without form or taste, a confusion of aound and the music critics ksiened attentively and wrote teamed reviews. It is like Fritz Kreisters writing wonderful mooches for the violin and announcing that he had found a new manuscript by Paganini. 80 piece after piece has appeared "Pagantol-orranged by Paganini. So ptece afto* piece has appeared "Paganinarrtoged by Kreisler. But it took the critics years to discover the hoax. I believe it was Olia Downes who finally discovered that Kreisler had arranged himself.

I once knew a pianist who loved to improvise sad would say that it was by Tchaikowsky or some other Russian and no one caught him at E, much to his delight.

"From long oboorvation, we have finally decided that the ecooomlst of the present day Is slmt^y s ftUow who thinks he knows a great deal more about money than the people who have it and the people who earn it."-The Charleston (B.C.) News and Courier.

By ELMER R0E8SNER Ever more frequently these days ere snnouncem^nts that companies are "going public. Ooitog public means that a cloB^ held company, such as a family corporation, will sell sharos to anyone who has the price.

There are many corporatioos that are owned almost wh(4^ by individuals, by families or by other cloae groups. But mora often than ever these days such companies decide to let ordinary investon (even you) buy shares to themselves.

, There are two common reasons for going public. One la heavy ostato taxes. The other is the need lor fresh capital. REASONS EXPLAINED Sometimea the domtoaat owner of a corporation oootemplotee death. He can me* that If he dlea, the heavy inheritance taxes will force a dtotreai oala of all or part of Ms oompoi. Bis heirs may get little and may have to surrendw control to othars.

But by going pnblic, shares to the buolDsas can be sold to or

derly fashion now. OcNotrol need ix^ suddenly pass Into the hands of others, ahd proceeds from the sate of stock to the pubhc can provide reserves to pay death duties.

Sometimea after the.death of a domtoont owner, the executors will turt) a company Into a pub-hc corporation, getting cosh for tax purposes without surrender-tog too much equity.

In other drcumotsooes. a oompany may need more money for a now plaiit. for buying another oompaxiy. or launching a new divlson.
