EASTER SEALS
The opening of the 1959 Easter Seal cam
paign interests all good citizens. Helping crip
pled children is one of the more rewarding
things we can do in our efforts to help our
felow-man.
In most states a volunteer organization en
thusiastically conducts the Easter Seal sale each
year. Letters are sent out to citizens in all
areas, seeking the financial support of citizens
for this independent, voluntary organization.
A number of children walk today because
of the existence of this organization and its
work in past years. We solicit the attention of
our readers to the present Easter Seal drive
and recommend that they support the effort
m behalf of crippled children if they are fin
ancially able to do so.
WATCH YOURSELF PHYSICALLY
About the only time that the average citizen
of Forsyth County pays any attention his, oi
lier, physical well-being is when illness or ac
cident puts them in bed.
This is, unfortunately, the truth in regard to
most persons. It is a reflection upon the the
intelligence that men and women are supposed
to have.
The neglect of the body is only comparable
to our negligence in regard to mental powers.
Every individual has abundant opportunity to
improve intellectually, but few of us bother
ourselves to do so.
When it comes to the realm of spiritual im
provement, the average individual goes into com
plete eclipse, except in extrmely rare and try-

ing moments. Those of us who believe in the
possession of a soul know full well that our
spiritual growth is possible and most of us be
lieve that it is the great function of human
existence.
In spite of this belief and the faith that moves
us along life’s highway, we carelessly drift
along without bothering very much about prin
ciples or the lack of them. Few of us attempt
to guide our daily lives by the eternal verities
that we profess to accept. This is a little bit
foolish, when one begins to reflect upon it.
The encouraging thing about individual
growth is that it requires no committee meet
ings, no mass purpose, and no assistance from
other people. It is one job that the individual
can plan and complete upon personal initiative.
The only question is, “When will be begin?’
SYMINGTON AND DULLES
Senator Stuart Symington, Missouri Demo
crat, has suggested that President Eisenhower
name anew Secretary of State. Symington,
while not criticizing anything Dulles has done,
contends that the United States needs a healthy
and active Secretary of State at this time as
never before.
Symington’s suggestion was certain to stir up
controversy, and has. Other Senators on C apitol
Hill, and friends of the Secretary, have rallied
to his defensive and there is little reason to be
lieve that President Eisenhower will follow
Symington’s advice.
us On the contrary, President Eisenhower is
usually quite reluctant to make decisions of this
kind, and he has gone on record, on more than
one occasion, as being willing to wait until
Secretary Dulles decides, himself, to resume his
leadership or step down.
On one score, however, Senator Symington
is correct. The United States does need an active
Secretary of State at this time. Whether he can
do anything about it or not, or whether the
President should, is another question.

NEPOTISM IN WASHINGTON
The decision of an lowa Congressman tto re
(luce his son's pay - the son working in the
Congressman’s office - is interesting. The sub
ject of nepotism in Washington has alway been
an intriguing and controversial one.
What most people do not realize is that the
House payrool is an open book, and reporters
may examine it and see who is being paid what
at any time. On the other hand, the Senate
maintains a secrecy which is not m the bes in
terests of the Senate, the budget, or the country
as whole.
It is impossible tto find out who each Senator
has on his payroll and what he is paying lm.
In some cases, this information may be obtain
able by right, as it is in the House.
What is now needed is a bill requiring that
the Senate payroll be made public. Alter all,
it is the tax-payer’s money and therefore public
moneyy, and the press, and the average citizen,
have a right to know what the Senate is doing
with government money, as far as its payio
is concerned.
