EAT POTATOES
AND GROW thin
Farmers Ought to Let Women
Know That Instead Of Blan
ing 'Em For Low Prices
O. Spuds

The women. God help EN-. have
bcen blamed for pretty much every
thing under tho sun. beginning with
the fall of Adam and ending with
the fall Of Al Smith, but it has re-
maincd for the Irish potato growers
of the Eastern Shore of Virginia
to blame the fair sex for the late low
nrice disaster that bcfell the Irish
potato crop.
Yes sir. the dirt farmers over Oh
the Eastern Shore of Virginia say
that the modern Woman's desire for
a slim and boyish figure is reSpon-
siblC for the present plight OF the
potato market. In their zeal to grow
thin and avoid fat women. are eat
ing fewer potatoes and when they
quit eating potatoes themselves they
quit putting them on the table Tor
The rest of the family. And so there
are fewer potatoes consumed,
markets are glutted and prices go
down. So argues the Virginia grow
CT.
If the Irish poi ito growers would
):ganize and advertise their product
Ehey could revive the market by per-
~uading those who want to get thin
that they should eat more potatoes.
It is a fact that potatoes contain
one third less starch per bulk than
bread. This means that a person
who diets to get thin may eat three
ounces of potatoes in place OF one
ounce of bread. satisfy their food
craving and yet acquire no more fat
from three ounces Of potatoes than
from an ounce of bread.

THE RADIO FAN
DOESN'T KNOW
WHERE TO TURN

Elizabeth City radio fans have
had a disheartening time of 1t
this week, trying to get adjusted
to the new radio allocatiOns. And
there is a juStifiablc suspicion that
many of the big broadcastins sta
tions are having more trouble
making adju' tmcnts tn the new
wave lengths and frequency re-
Guirements.
Some of the big stations so fami-
liar to local ears haven't been heard
BIZ many radio listeners since the
change to the new order Sunday
morning.
Folks who like jazz complain that
they can't get anything but sermons
ard prayer meetings and some
whose culture rcScnts too much jazz
complain that they can't get much
of anything except washing m lchine
uDu C-lC"lllS gum u0'Sl l0iSS'tiCAiOo
with a few banjo and saxa. hone
solos thrown in.
1t is said that it may take yet
few nights or several weeks for the
radio broadcasting stations TO get
adjusted and unified into smooth
working hole. but that better recep-
ton will be the happy result. Where
formerly there were $50 radio sta
tions operating simultaneously, the
number that may operate simultane-
'ously has been reduced to l65. clear
ing the ether of much OF the con-
fusion that has existed since the
break down of the national radio
law in 1926. And in the meantime
the old raoio logs have been upset
and the radio listener doesn't know
where to tEIn to get his old time
favoritc station. He must fish ano
ltarn all over again.

r. BRUCE ETHERIDGE, elected to
represent Dare County in the legis-
latlme finds himself the holder Of a
distinction seldom heard Of. After
living in a community for nearly so
years, and in spite of the fact that
he has asked no Gle TO vote for him,
nor wrote a letter in the interest or
his candidacy. not one of the more
than 300 Democratic ballots of his
home precinct bore scratch. AND
his Republican opponent is popu-
lar man. Politics is strange thing,
Mr.. Etneridge began his career in
politics 25 years ago, having repre-
sented Dare before in both houses OF
