Our County Is Losing Valued Public Servant

The resignation of J.S. Grimes, III as director of the Pitt County Welfare Department deprives the people of this county of service of one of their most diligent and valuable public servants.

In the almost six years in which Grimes has headed the Welfare Department it has undergone considerable revamping and streamlining. In the process, the service rendered by the department has been expanded and at the same time the efficiency of the operation of the department has been vastly, improve.

Mr. Grimes has provided the department with forceful, and in our opinion, keen and farsighted leadership, in meeting its responsibilities both to the people of the county it is designed to serve, and to the taxpayers of the county who foot a considerable portion of the bill for the departments operations. His has not been an easy task, nor have all the activities of his department met with full approval by every citizen of the county. Even so, the calibre of work he has done as director of the local Welfare Department and its related activities will provide lasting benefits for Pitt County and its citizens.

We are confident that Mr. Grimes will continue to render outstanding service to the people of this state as he moves into his new position as a Community Services coordinator with the State Welfare Board.

It is no secret that thia columnist is a conservative or, as he would prefer to put it, an old-style liberal. But in spite of bias, I have tried to be more analytical than polemical throughout the months of the political campaign. In the week before the election, however, anyone is entitled to an open statement o preference.

I am for Barry Goldwater for one big reason: I think he would slow down the drift to the omnipresent, do-it-all state, I wouldnt expect him to repeal the thirty years of New Deal legislation; 1 wouldnt even expect him to sen the fertilizer accessories of the TVA, though I wish he could. After all, Barry Goldwater is no Congresrional arm-twlster, and he would respect the wishes of the legislative majority In regard to laws already on the books. But he would, I think, be the greatest vetoer of bad new bills since Grover Cleveland, and that Is the best reason In the world for putting him In the White House. We navent had a Grover Cleveland In a long time, and it is time for a repeat perfonn-

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) 'The presidential campaign draws towani a close on Halloween but it sounded a little spooky anyway.

President Johnson, who almost never refers to Sen. Barry Goldwater by name, keep# asking his audiences: "Whose thumb do you want on the button?

And Goldwater replies with a questira: "Do you want one mans thumb on your country, or do you want yours?"

Europeans, reading what the two men say about each other, may get the imprcMion theyre cowboys galloping around the rim of disaster.

Goldwater says the nation must chart a new course or commit suicide.

Johnson refers to the Gold-waterite# as "men who want to veto the future."

The campaign has produced two kinds of words and phrases: the oddball and the rubbery kind. Both men have had a hand in the authorship.

Theres the oddball: front-lash, backlash, smearlash and

dadyism.

The rubbery kind are the words that different people can stretch into different meanings, like peace, corruption. morality, responsibility, Ireedwn.

But one of the most notable features of this almost unnota-ble campaign is the way the candidates spread fog over the political landscape.

This is accomplished by talking for weeks while spelling out hardly anything in detail.

iohnson talks of extending federal programai without being specific and Gold water wanto to stop the spread of socialism at home and communism abroad while not bothering much about that little detail: How?

TTie President almost without exception has deliberately avoided mentioning Goldwater by name while trying to ruin him with the voters.

Goldwater calls Johnson the "most power - hungry man in American politics, had made a theme song of suggesting corruption In the Johnson ad-minlstratim without producing evidence, and says, "When immorality occurs. It always starts at the top."

Yet, when some youngsters booed the mention of Johnson, Goldwater chided them: Please, do not boo the President. It is not ladylike or gentlemanlyllke.

Within less than a day after calling the President a "phony" and a "faker." Goldwater said he would wage the campaign solely (Xi the issues without any personal attack.

But he went on from there to say "the shadow of scandal falls. . .across the White House, itself, referred to Johnson as "whitewash Lyndon. . .the medicine man," called his antipoverty program "cynical" and accused him of "buying votes."

Before he ever got the presidential nomination Johns o n said, "I am not going to start passing personal opinions on the expressions of the other party.

Later he was calling Goldwater. without naming him, a "ranting, raving demagogue," described him as the "new and frightening voice of the Republican party" and suggested by implication his opponent was a "plucked banty rooster" with a plastic credit card."

If voters get goosepimples from all this, they can git their blood circulating again by climbing (XI their brooms and flying off to the electi(xi polls next Tuesday.

Opinions 'n Brief

NEW YORK (AP) One Of lifes little ordeals Is becoming a gourmet.

For more than half a century I have tried to swim along with the new-and-strange food crowd, but I suppose Ill alwajrs be an outsider.

This Is so even though I have tried hard to ai^reciate the other fellows menu, in his house. In his country. My trouble is that the older I grow, the more I appreciate

the foods of my childhood, some of which I rejected 1b my youth.

My trouble also Is that I am too cowardly to say no to the initial helping of any food, and therefore I must please my h(t by taking a second helping and gulp it out of sight.

This world Is full of amateur chefs, and in my travels through some 67 countries, kingdoms, islands and protec-

Public Forum

Newspapers are the sentinels of the liberties of our country." Benjamin Franklin.

To the Editcxr:

With reference to the letter of 'Thomas SttAes In the Open Forum of The Dally Reflector, dated Monday. Oct. 26, 1964, I would like to make this statement with apologies to the Immortal WUUam Shakespeare. Methinks the Gentleman protests too much assuming his own self-righteousness.

Mr. Stokes writes, and I quote from his above mentioned letter: "Goldwater is not against your Farm Program. The ONLY THING HE SAID was let the farmers vote for what they want. Instead of Washington dictating to them. Then He asks, how did we get the Farm Policy in the fir^ place? And proceeds to give all the credit or responsibility for it to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Is Mr. Stokes so uninformed that he hks no knowledge of Farm Programs In government until the Roosevelt Administration? It has been said "Tis Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak your piece and dispel all doubt.

No one needs to Justify by Biblical reference how he may have decided to vote in o u r November 3rd election, but I do hope that all qualified voters will vote on that day. We will do well to weigh the Issues and vote as wisely as our limited knowledge will permit

and this do without prejudice or hate In our hearts. Of course there are others, maybe, of the same attitude and opinions of Mr. Stokes. If they have reached these conclusions without rancor toward any man

or think they have, I would Buggest that they read care-

, fully the scripture referred to by Mr. Stokes, St. Luke. Chap. 10, Verses 25 through 37. Having anallzed this passage of

Scripture from the Holy Word of God, how explain the bitterness of our so-called Good People toward the Civil Rights Bill, now a Federal Law? Do you not know that obedience to the will of God as revealed in hli word Is required of men (CThris-tlan Belivers)? Also, do you not know that The True Christian lives above the Law In the Realm on Doctrine of Godly Love, and that laws are required to discipline the disobedient to the will of God?

Mr. Stokes you state In your letter "We have had violence in this Administration for this term" and If you want that kind of thing to continue, vote FOR Johnson." Do you mean to imply that Presidents Kennedy and Johnson should or should have used the National (Federal) Armed Forces as avil Police to enforce the laws of behavior of the people in the various states of the union? Do you not know that such enforcement is the duty and the obligation of the legally constituted police or law enforcement forces of the various states, and that Federal Forces may be rightfully used only when Federal laws are violated. unless, of course, the ties Inform the Federal Government of their inability to maintain law and order and expressly request the intervention by Federal Forces to do the Job for them. Are you advocating a National Police State Mr. Stokes: May God Forbid!

Think you upon these things, all of you who read this, and then cast your ballot, voting as you are able In good conscience, and then may God rest your soul.

Most Sincerely J. PresUm Corey

torates I have never found a place that didnt subject me to the acid Invitation, "Herea something IU bet youve never had before try this.

It makes me momentarily hiccup to think of what I have eaten in the exercise of politeness.

I have eaten quail eggs in Japan, octopus tentacles In Naples, eels in a place Id rather forget, horse meat in London in wartime, whale meat in New York, and lambs head in the Algerian desert.

I have eaten bears flesh in New Jersey, brought in from Maine; buffalo steaks In South Dakota; coon, opossum, rabbit and squirrel in Missouri; and snails hi France.

1 have eaten frog legs and caviar at sea, thrushes and butiered partridges in Belgium, and klmchee cabbage laced with garlic in Korea.

Was it in Montana I had elk? In Scotland I had grouse? And Singapore that the shark fins were served? And wasnt it in Germany in 1944 or 1945 tjiat Lieut. Roy WUder of North Carolina dished up the chitlins his folks sent from home?

But wherever I went, and whatever I did, I was sure to meet a local gourmet who said, You simply must try this -- Its a native dish! So, after all, how could you go to Burma and forego the taste of bees cooked in their own honey?

Certainly nobody I know. You might as well balk at munching on a baked armadillo somewhere else, or rattle-Miake dry-cooked to remove all cholesterol.

After all these often doubt-ful culinary experiences around the world, I will say this they never gave me an ulcer. But I dont think Ill ever be a gourmet msrself.

The food Id like most to taste again is oatmeal cooked by a mother In Kansas City who sternly said, "Think of aU the hungry children In China who would love to have this."

ance of what that massive character did to restore integrity to the processes of government after the great barbecue that followed the Civil War. He thought the people should support the government, not vice versa.

My reason for voting for Barry Goldwater has nothing whatsoever to do with the chsuacter of Lsmdon Johnson. It is &nply a matter of lup-portlng my philosophical convictions. The smear contest and it has been about equally reprehensible on both sides is Just one of those things that seem inseparable from American politics. Abe Llncloln was called a baboon; Grover Clevelands illegitimate child was used against him; James G. Blaine, when he was a candidate for President, was the continental liar from the State of Maine. The gutter is always with us. and. unless something really Important Is turned up, such as tiieft of the peoples money or a breakdown of national security, it should be Ignored In the polling booth.

The really appalling thing about the present campaign is not the smear element, which is a hardy perennial. It 1b the evidence that people can be herded by Madison Avenue techniques Into going against all they believe to be true. The TV pictures of little girls picking daisies and then being blown to bits by an atomic blast, or of children licking ice cream cones and dying of poisonous strontium 90, are beneath contempt, yet they have helped greatly to create an Idiotic miasma of fear.

Long ago Barry Goldwater, in supporting the manned bomber against a one-shot missile program, said at San Leandro, California, that be was for the bomber because, im-like a rocket, it could be called back. This showed the quality of his heart in this business of atomic armaments. But the Madison Avenue manipulation of fear pictures has blotted this particular Barry Goldwater out.

What really scare# me Is that the Communists may take seriously the fear mongering that has defaced this campaign. If Goldwater Is rejected in an orgy of something that can be interpreted as better Red than dead" sentiment, the Communists will certainly mark us down as a bunch of (Continued on page 8)

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS WHAT ABOUT HIS WORLD?

A man was arguing one evening with his wife about a geographical fact. At last the husband went to the room of their little ten year old son and got a globe which had been a birthday present a few months before. The lad awoke before his father left the room and in sleepy tones inquired. "Daddy, what are you going to do with my world"

Although be did not know it, the youngster was speaking for the whole of his generar tton. What are we going to do with the world in which these kids are growing up

The first Wortd War was called a war to end war. Yet it was only the beginning of strife which continues to this very hour. We build more wonderful highways, invent more Intricate devices than mankind has even dreamed of in the

j

past, but what are we doing to our world We are making it more ccxnfortable. We are c(Xiferring up< It a fascinate Ing interest. But does this world that we are creating have within It the moral forces thM will minister to the hearts and minds d the oncoming generation "Daddy, what are you going to do with my world"

We are in the saddle now. Twenty-flve or fifty years from now our children and grandchildren will be running things. Will they bless us or berate us WUl they say that we did the best we c(xild, or will they speak with sneers and anger at the way we muddled thing and set the world on Its head

Let us look at every chUd we meet and ask ourselves what we are doing to his world.

Toni Mendez, a top New Yoi* licensing agent, estimates that manufacturers are paying about $()0 million thia year for the rights to use television, movie, cartoon and literary characters. Walt Disney. A1 Capp and Hank Ket* cham get the largest shares of this loot.

Buster was based on Out-caults son, who was nicknamed Buster; the character Mary Jane was based on hla daughter, and Tige the dog waa based on the family dog Tiger, a Bull Balter, a breed popular in England at that time. Tige became the most famous animal in the world in his day.

BUSTER WAS A BARGAIN Licensing was not the mul-tl-miUlon-dollar art It la today (Huh, Superman?) and Outcault took what he could get. Hb fees ranged from $5 to 8250, rarely more.

He licensed Frank L.

I didnt like it but I wore it without protest because Mother had agreed not to Iniy me a Uttle Lord Fauntieroy suit.

Most of th^ product faded away, but two are Just as vigorous as ever. They are Buster Brown shoes and Buster Brown textiles. The latter are made by a company headed by Prank L. MiUer m. the grandson of the far-seeing chap who paid $250. more or less, for rights to the Buster Brown name.
