Sought by Falls

In response to a telCgraphlc re-
quest from County Agent Grover
w. Falk. Congressman Lindsay
c.. Warren yesterday afternoon
persuaded the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation to pur-
chase another so carloads OF sur
plus Irish potatoes from PaSquo-
tank County.
This news was conta ned in a
telegram from Congressman War
rem to Mr.. Falls yesterday after
noon.
Federal purchase of surplus
3puds was supposed to end here
at midnight, June 80, but because
two rainy afternoons this week
had prevented growers in some
sections of the county from get
ting their potatoes out of the
ground in time to beat this dead
line. County Agent Falls thought
this county should be allotted an
other so cars. So he wired Con-
gressman Warren and Senator
Robert r. Reynolds to that effect
yesterday morning.
He expects to receive an offic al
notification from the FSCC this
morning. Offers Of at least so
cars are alrealy in hand, he said,
and the county committee will
make up the allotment soon after
receiving official authorization.
This allotment will br ng to 244

Currituck's Melon
GrOWers Should
Make Money

Currituck, July L. Growers Of
watermelons, once the principal
cash crop of this county and still
a major crop, are looking forward
to one of the most profitable sea-
sons in recent years.
Reports from elsewhere indi-
cate that Watermelons this year
will bring a good price, and it now
appears that there will be plenty
of watermelons in Currituck coun-
ty this year.
Vines are growing fast and mel
ons are beginning to appear. and
the crop here will probably begin
to move to market in about three
weeks.
In North Carolina, growers have
planted 11,600 acres of melons
this year, against 12,800 last
year. The crop should bring about
$3.50 900 to growers in the State
this year.

Refused Face-tO-Face
Meeting With La.
Dor Union
Is Only Solution
Lewis Offered to Absent
Self From Hearing to
Meet Objections

Washington, July 1.-(U.I-The
federal mediation board tonight
criticized independent steel opera
tors for refusing to enter into an
agreement with the Committee
for Industrial Organization and
reported that a "face-to-face"
conference between employers and
the unions alone could settle the
current steel strike.
The boards report, made public
by Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins, disclosed that John L.
Lewis, head of the C. I. O., offered
to absent himself from a collec-
tive bargaining conference with
the steel operators if objections to
his presence were thwarting a
"face-to-face" meeting.
The Only Hope
I'VE cannot but believe that the
bitterness and suspicion which
the two sides would be
allayed by a man-to-man discus
sion around the conference table
between the heads of the four
companies and the union repre-
sentatives, and that the only pres
ent possible hope of settlement
lies in such meeting" the report
said.
I'VE further believe that the
refusal of the four companies to
enter into any agreement with
S. w. o. c. (Steel workers organ
izing committee, a c. I. o. unit

ployes whom it represents, which

Raleigh, July 1.-U,P)--North
Cardinals social security pro-
gram. which will cost SIS, 100000
during the next two years for
cash benefits to needy persons ov-
er 65 years of age, to dependent
children in need and to the needy
blind, went into effect today.
The program will be financed
by the federal government, the
state and its 100 counties. No
special state taxes have been lev
led for social security, but the
money will be taken from regular
revenues.
Final plans for administration
of the huge program have been
completed, and first benefit
checks to a few of the estimated
47,874 North CGrolinians who will
participate in the program are
expected to be mailed out this
week.
Enacted by the 1887 General
Assembly and approved by the
federal social security board, the
program has been termed by
Gov. Clyde R. Hoey, under whose
leadership it was created, as "the
most humane piece of legislation
ever enacted in North Carolina. :"
The $4,000 to be spent on
social security in the state dur
ing the next two years, less ad-
ministrative costs, will be divided
thus: to the INDECENT aged, S.

DON'T SCRATCH,
SOOTHE The.
IRRITATION

Quick relief from the maddening
itch Of eczema, psoriasis, poison
ivy, and irritation about the rectum
or personal parts is obtained by ap-
plying an ointment called Resinol.
Leave it on over night. It lessons
the desire to scratch, and eases the
irritation.
The soothing effect Of Resinol
takes the sting out of the irritated
parts and makes you comfortable.
The skin heals sooner, too, with the
help of Resinol.
The oily base Of Resinol Oint-
ment is ideal for penetrating the
outer layers Of the skin and secur-
ing deeper action. Bathing the af-
fected parts first with Resinol Soap

Do you condemn the man who
takes a WPA JOB in his hour of
need. and then holds on to it in
your hour OF need?- It isn't the
amount OF the weekly wage the
wise family man considers as
as much as its regularity.
DO you have word Of condem-
