An Extra Effort By Our Doctors

And most people go to the doctor with the idea of following' his advice or the treatment he pre* scribeseven though it may not be what they expect or hope forbecause they have confidence that he knows better than they what i wrong with them and what may be done to cuTp the ailment.

The Pitt County Medical^atia Dental Society has undertaken sponsorship of^ countywide tetanus immumzation program in order to provide the largest possible number, of local citizens protection against tetanus. The doctors are putting forth an effort to set up numerous clinics throughout the county to make the immunization shots available to the people.

W'& may be sure that the doctors are not undertaking this additional chore just because they will enjoy poking needles into thousands of arms in a few* days. They arent looking for something extra to do, for most of them already find their days and

By LYNN NISBET BARBEIS The State Board of Barber Examiners is being brought into court by a Greensboro man seeking a license to operate a barber school. R. P. Julian, a veteran of M yesu-s as a barber, claims that the board acted arbitrarily and discriminated against him in refusing to grant a license to operate a school for training barbers. He appealed the boards decision to Wake county superior court, and this week Judge Heman Clark ruled that the niatter did not come within the purview of the courts, but that relief sought would have to be obtained through legislative or administrative channels. Julian gave notice of appeal to the Superior Court.

Julian charges the board has acted arbitrarily and unfairly in declining to give him the examination required of applictuits for teacher license, but board members stated that there was no need for additional barber schools. To combat that. Julian says no new school has been established in 28 years, that existing schools have waitlng lists (g six to ten months, and that when news that he was asking for a license was published he received dozens of student applications.

He contends his educational Qualifications cannot be challenged. He holds an AB degree from' Elai College, has just about earned a law degree from a college in Alabama, and has a practicing barber license in North Carolina, and both a practicing and teaching license in Maryland.

This is not the first time the barber board has been in court. Tu'o or three examining and licensing boards have been ruled out by the Supreme Court dry cleaners, photographers and real estate but the approach in this Instance Is different. It Is the discretion rather than the authority of the board that is challenged.

and the people choose whether they want Democrat or Republican officers. The primary results on board of education voting goes to the General Assembly as information and recommendation onl^^ In most instances the legislators respect the wishes of the voters and appoint the persons receiving the highest number of votes. But they are not bound by law to do so.

EIJECnON Theoretically, county education boards are appointed by the whole Legislature. Actually, of course, they are named by the one to five legislators from the affected county. The practice is bad; the theory is very good.

The public school system Is basically a function of State government, as distinguished from matters which the ccHinty commissioners deal v^ith affecting only one count. That is justification for state selection rather than county \election of school boards.

NO DELAY Road contractors have complained about the slowTiess with which the highway commission gets out results of bid lettings and awarding of contracts. They cant quarrel with the record (his week. The commission opened bids on nearly four million dollars worth of construction work Tuesday morning. Wednesday morning bids wer,e accepted and contracts awarded for all but two of the projects involved. Chief Engineer Lee said the action was speeded so that contractors would have advantage of good weather for completion of the work.

SCHOOL BOARDS The anomalous status of the county boards of education in North Carolina is much in evidence right now. There is great interest manifested In almost every county in membership on the board of education. Candidate^ are filing to participate in the primary and in some instances real campaigns are underway. Yet the members of the county boards are not elected by the people. They are appointed by the General Assembly.

Candidates file and campaign In the primary jus^like they do for county commissioner or the Legislature and are voted upon In the primary the same way. But that ends the elective process for them. The other nominees have their names on the ballot in the November election

Entirely Proper That A Review Be Sought

It is entirely proper that the Pitt Greenville Airport Commission petition the Civil Aeronautics Board for a review of its decision in the Piedmont Airlines case which denied commercial air service recommended for a joint Wilson-Greenville airport.

Certainly the Wilson-Greenville petition for joint sjervice presented sufficient data to shoNv that air service to this immediate area is justified. The CAB examiner who gathered information on air service need.^^ in E.nstern North Carolina recommended that .service 'je included for a Wilson-Greenville joint airport. Theie was the further factor of the policy statement by the CAB and the FAA asserting that joint senice lor use oi..several cities would be given consideration by thein bodies.

Whether the CAB will give favorable consideration to the Wilson-GreenV of the situation is a moot pears evident that the petition*' for air service is justified and the Pitt-Greenville Airport Commission would not be carrying out its duties if it did not exhaust every possibility for obtaining this service before it gives up.

BUDGETS Most of the State agencies, departments and institutions are getting their A budgets for the next biennium into the hands of the budget officers. The "A budget, as most people know by now. Is the amount estimated to be required to hold the line, to maintain service at its present level for the next two years. Its preparation is fairly easy. Budget officers are gratified that all agencies seem determined to hold this amount to the barest minimum.

The B budget is a different matter. This is where the needs for new and expanded services are listed. This is the area that reflects prioress and gro^^1h. The "B budgets are not in. but will be within a few weeks. Officials are expected to anticipate conditions and needs as far ahead as June 30, 1965.

WASHINGTON 'AP) The Supreme Court has an Olympian air about it: nine justices, dressed in black, sitting In a row behind a high bench in a marble palace, dispensing wisdom.

What makes them human Is what made Zeus look human: it.s the scrapes they get into. They not only get attacked from the outside but from Inside by one another.

The court has just emerged from a decade of major decisions and tremendous criticism. And now. because of a ruling this week, new criticism is beginning.

This was last Monday s decisin that federal courts have a right to step in if state.s refuse to giv'e their citizens fair representation in state legislatures.

This will affect politicians and, to no ones surprise, politicians are already screaming.

The criticism may chill the court a while, as criticism in the past .seems to have done, but this wont deter the court from getting into new controversy later.

President Jackson got Into a dispute with the court in 1833 when it told Georgia not to try to take over Cherokee Indian land. Georgia defied the court. Jackson, s.vmpathetic to Georgia. told the court to try to arry out its decree itself.

And the court brought the Hou.se down on its head in 1857 when it .said, in the Dred Scott case. Congress couldnt outlaw slavery in the territories.

But the biggest head-on cia.sh came In the 193<)s when the highly con.servative court, which President Franklin D. Koo.^evelt .said was living in the hor.se and buggy clays, ruled against one pic'ce of Nc*w Deal legtslation aftc-r anothei.

Hoo.sevelt focu.sed so much national attention on the jus

tices, particularly ^en he tried to add new ones to the court, that the nine men may have been rendered self-conscious.

At any rate, thereafter they began approving Roosevelts legislation.

The South is still denouncing the court for its 1954 decision outlawing segregation In public schools. But all these events involved criticism of the court from the outside.

Disputes among the justices themselves on their decLsions and biting criticism of one another because of themhas been going on a long time.

None of them was more scathing than Justice Felix Frankfurter who disagreed with the majority this Week on the legislative representation ca.se. He didnt think the court should get this dfeeply into political problems.

But Frankfurter has a long record of sounding off when he disagrees with his fellow justices, even though, like a phonograph record .someone forgot to turn off, he repeats himself even to using the same words.

Last week, for instance, he accused the majority with w'hich he disagreed of asserting a' destructively novl judicial power. Back onFeb. 7, 1944, In another disagreement, he accused the justices with whom he disagreed of resorting gratuitously to a wholly novel doctrine of constitutional law.

Frankfurter w'as u.sed here as an example of in-court fighting not because hes the only one who does it but only because he consistently seems to Ih the shrillest. Yet he has been through .some of the most far-reaching moments in the history of the court.

It was in the 19.".0.s that criticism really piled up on the justices, not only for their de-.segrega tion order on pul)lic schools, but for their decisions on Communist activities.

Other Editors Saying... SuDDort For Schools .

(Kinston Free Press)

Governor Terry Sanfords current tour of the public schools provides a three-way emphasis on what Is required to assure excellence in public education. His appearance at the schools in this area has resulted in a grateful response from the rank and file and the two rallies here Tuesday night w'ere no exception to the rule.

The first major emphasis is that of the increased investment by the State in public education. The three percent sales tax on food imposed last summer provides some $25,0(X),009^ in additional revenue per annum for increased pay for teachers, reduction of classroom loads, clerical personnel and other improvements.

The second emphasis comes in the realm of unfinished business. There is no community in the State that we know' of which has no further needs in the realm of educational improvement. The Goveniors visit merely accentuates these needs and reminds local leaders of their responsibility in meeting them.

The final emphasis deals with the intangible asset of public support and pride in education in general. There Isnt a taxpayer in Noi th Carolina or the

Nation for that matter who does not appreciate the fact that education is far more advanced today than in his owm school days. He Is proud to be able to send his children to better schools than he attended. The hope is that such provision will h ad to better trained citizenry for eve *^7 aspect of life in our democratic society.

The result of such a threefold emphasis is to remind North Carolinians that there is no special season for educational support. It is a constant and continuing thing. The outlook for the future is for an even greater investment of taxes, time and interest if we make our schools second to none in the Nation, which is the Governors goal for this decade. But it also reminds us that all Tar Heels in this Century have been conscious of educations vital role in development of our State and Nation.

To continue that support in this and future generations is in reality the best way we can show our appreciation for men like Governor Aycock, Edwin Aldennen, Dr. J. Y. Joyner and other pioneers who gave us the. initial impetus some 60 years ago. Thus Governor Sanford seeks to stimulate and to expand the desire for educational excellence which has been imbedded in the minds ofs tlie people for two generations.

Cubans

A mtHrher telephones;

My son was one of those In the Bay of Pigs. He is now in prison. Castro will kill him. We need $2,(XK),000 to exchange tractors for lives. Will you help?

Who can answer this plea? Who knows how to reach tlie heart of a Communist? We permit American^ to rot in Chinese prison because we know no way to get them out. How can we do anything for the Cubans whom we abandoned to a cruel death in the Bay of Pigs? Shall we blame ourselves? Shall W'e blame them? Shall we merely say that some live and some die?

Each week, nearly 2,(HX) Cuban refugees arrive in Miami. There are all sorts of schemes to help them. Some of the schemes are feasible, some fade from the memory of their authors. What Is most important Is to educate thbse.^ho need to continue their schooling and to provide Cuban schools for the very young.

But will these refugees ever be able to return to Cuba or will they become elements in the American melting p^? Rich and cultured Cubans have lost all their possessions. Some have already reestablished themselves in the United States; others face all the problems and difficulties of refugees.

- But when the men who went to fight for Cuban freedom In the Bay of Pigs are murdered by Castro, who will speak in their memory? Perhaps a memorial to them will be erected In Miami, but a mothei asks; Can you help? And one does not know how to help.

As it appears at this moment, the Cuban refugees in the United States are not ilkely to go back to their homes an.v more than the Russian or Hungarian or Polish refugees have been able to return to their homes. Nothing short of war will lolvo , the Cuban problem any more than 40 years of talk wiped out Communism in Soviet Russia.

The refugee problem is one 0/ resettlement. They cannoi all crowd into ^ami, whioh has no industry fontih^i. They need to find work In of the

United States so thatSbcy are not ghettoized a.n the Puerto Ricans have been in New York City. Whatever skills they possess should become^a valuable asset to the United "States Resettlement Is the approach to this j^blera by the Department of HeaiUi, Education and Welfare, buN^uch a program will be resisted on the very ancient sociologic truism that birds of a feather flock together, which the* professors call community of kind.

The reason that we have ghettos in our large cities Is that people of a kind in the first generation like to live t(ether because they speak the ne language, are accustomed to their own particular foods, like to see familiar faces cm the streets and in movies, and hate to be ridiculed by those who came before. In the third generation, the ghetto begins to break down. And these erstwhile newcomers look down uptm still more recent Immigrants. It Is surprising how many Italo-Anierlcans do rot know a word of Italian and that many ehil-dren of JewLsh psrent* speak not a word of Yiddish.

Resettlement takes time and patience and In a country where unempIojTTient is the principal social problem, there will be resistance to giving the newer refugees jobs. Our labor unions are not always without dlsorlm-inatory prctlces. Nevertheless, over the years, thoss discriminated against break through to get the jobs and even to hold positions in the unions and then they, in turn, discriminate against newcomers. And so the wheel goes round, but meanwhile human beings suffer.

The question also arises as to how many people this cotint ry can hold. Our population will soon reach 200.000,000 In 4.-000,00 square miles of territory. The racial composition of our people grows constantly different and more mixed, Anglo-Saxon traditions disappear and not only have Eastern European traditions and habits infiltrated, but Latin, Asiatic and African concepts of life have become part of the American amalgam.

In half a century, this will give us a totally new American

Oh, you do, eh? Have you ever stopped 10 think what le senunent Is? Old Dr. Samuel Johnson whose wisdom illumina ted the eighteenth century declared that resentment Is a union of sorrow and malignin-ty.

On the whole the word has unpleasant connotations When wo utter It there arises before our minds avl.slon of angry e.ves. ten.se features, clenched fists.

It.s no secret that discounters have been giving department stores a hard time. By eliminating, or charging extra for delivery, credit, refunds and other services, discounters have been able to undersell other .stores. In fact, there are now about 1.500 discount stores In the United States, so many that they are giving one another a hard time.
