Young in age as well as in spirit, they look around for something something different.

And their interest sparks innovations. Among the projects they have sponsored is the series between men who live elsewhere on subjects of national interest. They have met some difficulties choosing time, and place for the discussions--and, we would guess, also some trouble in selecting The first subject was Medicare: the second right-tp-work legislation; the third Freedom Rides. The first week in October- the Jaycees will bring to Fayetteville two men who will talk about the decision of the United States Supreme Court regarding prayer in schools. Crowds have been slim, interest only so- Those attending have found themselves listening to extremists in several instances.

Perhaps the subjects lent themselves to this kind of treatment blit it is a fact the par- icipants have at times wandered far from the issue at hand. As an experiment the series has been well worth while, and the development of the idea is "desirable. Needed: Definite location, preferably some place where the voice is easily distinguishable (this is not true in school auditoriums) a certain time for all the programs; speakers who will demand respect as well as cater to appetites for the sensational. It is almost impossible for a sel-ious and thoughtful speaker to "debate" with an opponent who hysterically brings in the extraneous, and that has occurred in the last two discussions. Granted the program sponsors know what is going to transpire in the course of the speeches, they can use care in inviting those to be heard.

At least one of the speakers in each of the last two debates coiild have been expected to deliver 1 just as he did. And one of those to appear in the future will "rant and rave" or be entirely out of character when he is before the public. iFayetteville is not a town whose citizens out in force for programs such as this. The audience at Woodland Junior High Friday night was composed in the main of members of the University faculty and of the Jaycees. There were a few students, a sprinkling of others.

In our the whole thing will be a success if a crowd of 500 persons is attracted. 'It boils pretty well down to this: The idea is fine we need more public discussion anci debate. Definite i and place, set and advance, for the whole series is advisable. 7 A more' careful "matching" of debaters would make for an improved presentation. The sponsoring organization is to be congratulated on its efforts.

We hope the Jaycees see fit to push the program; it could, in time, be; worthy of wide interest not only locally, but elsewhere. And it could be surprisingly instructive and informative. JACK CARLISLE D. DREW PEARSON Wheri'i mailed last peek's column frohi Los Angeles I hadn't planned on being home qUitc so soon, but Die way it turned out I might as well have wailed and written Ihc column after I got home. I came back last Sunday, However, nothing very important happened to me between Iho time 1 mailed the column and the time my trip was over, so I guess it didn't make much difference.

1 did have a fast Slid interesting trip home on one Of those highflying jets, though. 1 have made exactly that same flight on two other occasions, bul this was the firs) time I made 'it on a plane like that. We cruised at S3.000 feet --Over sbc miles--and if there happens to be any bad wealhcr, you are above it. My flight rri a a slops at Fort Worth ahd Oklahoma City, but despite the liriie lost in descending and slowing dOwh fof those two landings, we wore in tlie air only three hours and 17 minutes. If you fly straight through to Tulsa or Kansas City, I understand that the trip Is made in less than three hours.

It ccr- taliily seems a lot farther when you drive a car out there. Incidentally, it always takes me much longer to get to Fayetteville from Tulsa than it does to come from California to Tulsa. Attend The Games The football season among high schools is un'der way. Fayetteville will, as usual, be in tire thick of things along with other schools throughout this area. The school boys play good football they make it interesting for spectators.

And they deserve support. Good crowds at the games will help aid program, and thus the schools. Attend the games is good advice. What Others Say Perils Of Consumer Buying The Atlanta (Oa.) Journal Should high schools leach courses in consumer buying? A California lady, Mrs. Helen Ewing Nelson, thinks Nelson, consumer counsel in the governor's office, has surveyed young people's buying habil.s and is apjtelled at what she sees.

i'oung couples seem ither ignorant or unconcerned getting the best value in supermarket shopping or in paying enormous interest charges in installment buying; She thinks many such couples are courting financial ruin with debt over-extension and high carrying charges. 'ft. prevalent buyer altitude today is: "I don't care how mtifch it costs. Just tell me what the monthly pay menu will If we raise up a whole generation of consumers Ihiriking this way, just i a sujJcr welfare' state is in our future. 1 went back on the route Wednesday, We carriers don't realize how much move around i we arc off a few days.

Louise Rogers had carried my route most of the lime I was off, ahd she had made out a Ust of the changes while I was off. Some folks had left, olher folks had moved in where they vacated, some had simply moved in with other families--or were gelling mail in their boxes--while there were five boxes that weren't even there when I started my vacation. My route, as well as all the others, is getting more and hiore boxes to serve as time goes by. We are cither going to have to get a cars or add ionics. Most of the additions to my route are from new houses being built along my paved roads, or from new houses going up near the pavement on my side roads.

However, I have had some new houses built that are quite a way out in the hills. The L. H. Rollisons, who bought Ihe old Mack Hlnkle place al the far side ot Dead Horse Mountain, have sold out ahd plah 10 leave here for a while. But Mr.

Rollison assures me that he likes this part of the country and plans to return shortly. He is retired. The George Roberts family has returned to the place on the Gene Goff farm, after a slay at Boone- villc. Three families who were away on vacation when 1 went on niihe are back home. They arc: the Hay Fraleys, who live near the Nickells Memorial Church, the J.

O. Phillipses of the Baldwin community, and the Showalters of Sulphur City. I'm glad to have them back safely. The Eldon Taylors have moved over lo Route Five, and a family named Henry has moved into the place the Taylors left. I hcvcr learned if they bougtit it.

Larry Hodnetl has moved his family to town, and the Robert Wheelers have moved to Route 6. Peart Watts has bought the house alongside Roger Mitchell--I think Roger owned the house; and the Glen Shackelfords haVc back to their place just up the road from the old Miller store in Hazel Valley. Tire Jerry Hattcbaughs a moved to Washington stale: they moved from the house the Shack- clfords returned to, and James. Hall has moved his a i to Prairie Grove. Doyne a I think he is a veterinarian for Gene Goff, has moved into the house vacated by the Robert Wheelers, and W.

A. Stafford has moved from the far side of the Buckner community to a place right in Ihe edge of lawn, but I i carry his mail. Mr. Stafford almost lost his life a few weeks ago when a wasp popped him behind the ear. Mrs.

Rublee and sons a moved from a i some place in Texas. I Ihink the Rublees were from Wisconsin. They stayed here only a few months. All of these changes may sound boresomc to sonic of you people, but there are a lot of folks who will be interested. I try to please everybody.

Anyway, I'm not generally from the roulc long and I don't mention this many al one time. Merry-Go-Round Large Burden On Schools, Colleges WASHINGTON This column ovvci an apology to Adam Clayton Powell, Hw debonair Dctnocral from lUrlcm.

Berchs, on a seven-week European junket at the taxpayers' expense at the very time the aid to education for colleges bill was stuck in Ihe Labor and Education committees of House and Senate. It is part of Berens' and Powell's job to get it unstuck. Berens left for Europe on July 15. and has now returned. However, he was not reachable for comment, and attempts to locate Powell's other assistants at first were unsuccessful.

Repeated calls for Powell's two top assistants, Louise Dargans and Livingston Wlgtale, brought I reply Ilia! they were "out of the office," though another committee aide, Russ Derrickson, said he "understood" Berens was on a "vacation somewhere," presumably 'at his own expense.

By HTNFRED L. GODWIN (Director, Southed! Regional Education Board) A widely read national magazine came out last week with a fealher-in-riie-cap for Southern economic achievement.

it ended on a note which would consider a left-handed compliment. In a story about regional economies in the U.S.. the magazine article said, "The fastest-growing regions the West and the South- cast are becoming increasingly self-sufficient by developing their Own industries such as metals, chemicals, refining and clothing." DovVn toward tlie end of the article, however, was Ihe thought provoking qualification "In Ihc South, many slates arc also doing well because they a wooed industry by offering tax breaks, low-wage labor, righl-toAv laws." Some political and i leaders will argue that these are long term inducements for economic development. Others a them a shifting sand of temporary benefits for industry. Most would NEWS OF THE PAST agree that improvements in education, social climate and political stability arc the rock base for permanent improvements in the economy.

There will soon be more concrete, faclual material to back up this stand in the region. Al North Carolina Slale College a study is under way, financed by The Twentieth Century Fund, which i serve as a guide to the South in building a strong economy for the years ahead. Entitled, "Economic Development a Manpower i mcnls in the South," the study is looking for knowledge about this region's transition pains during the change from an agricultural society to a modern industrialized society. The study will analyze the human and material resources of the region, and will make a idealistic projection Of possible levels of economic activity, output and income in t5ie South for Hie year 1975. The project will probably take two and a half years to com pleie and will cost upwards of $350,000.

The Twentieth Century Fund said: "The South Is the largest low-in- region In Ihe country, ll has the iliosl railid rate of natui-al population increase of atly region of comparable size.

Dear Helen: Your recent glib advice to the young girl to marry the fiance who had been injured in an automobile accident made me heartsick. The boy's injury sounded as If It could have been the spinal cord, this means that he would never be anything but a husband in name only.

To undertake marriage with so grievously injured a person calls for much soul-searching. The girl should fully understand what is involved, a lo Ihe boy's doctor and know exactly what she Is gelling into.
