shows that he is wise, even if he is bishop

But it must be an honest story, as the

What Other Editors Say
The Rus, Robot

From Memphis comes word that the mechanical
cotton picker invented by John and Mack Rust
saves $1O.72 a bale under hand picking costs.
By a test made on a nearby plantation, it was
revealed that the average cost of picking by hand
vas Sl6.75 bale, while the average for machine
picking was five dollars.
What does the Rust brothers picker portend?
The answer should be self-evident In the South
the farm labor situation already is national scan
dal with many cotton hands subsisting at times
on government relief If mechanical pickerS are
adopted generally-and competition will bring that
about-St more workers will be thrown into the
ranks of unemployed.
The Rust picker is becoming the symbol of what
is happening to the advanced industrial countries
in machine age still largely dominated by the
private profit motive. So far it appears that Soviet
Russia is the only country that can use the Rust
picker without causing diSlocationS of an anti
social character. In nations where workers starve
rather than thrive a result of surplus produc-
ton use of the Rust robot will require sweeping
social adjustments if disaster is to be avoided. Such
change is foreshadowed in the findings recently re-
ported by the government agency that made an
exhaustive study of chronological conditions and
unemployment.
Of course the manufacture of Rust pickers will

A DREAM
TAKES
SUBSTANCE

a dream which has been long i'll the max
ing With house approval given by unani-
nous vote. that of the Senate and the PrcSl-
dents signature may be taken as matter
of course; after which the question of the
final realization of the dream will be the
responsibility of Dare County, the State and
property owners of the area
With the $3.50 acres comprised in the
Wright Memorial area, State Park at Hat
teras and the game refuge of the Biological
Survey. there remains the balance of 6.lJO
acres of the 10000 minimum which must
be acquired without cost to the govern
ment before the area may be taken over
for administration by the National Park
Service
Without minimizing the difficulties and
expense which present obstacles in the way
of meeting the governments requirements,
the benefits which will be visited OH this
section of the State are too great for the
idea to be entertained that they will not be
met within the tcn-ycar time limit set. The
question rather is how soon, within that
limit, the Cape Iatteras National Scashorc
can be made a reality.
A park such as is vsualzcd by it's spon-
sOrs would be unique in the country, and
with the number of visitors which NAV be
expected to come to the area each year, at
tractcd by the park in conjunction with Dare
COunty's already famous historical land
marks, that area may be confidently cx-
pcctcd To- become one of the most powerful
magnets for tourists in the United States.
No other section can vie with the HatteraS
area in its appeal to sportsmcn and vaca-
tOnists and under Park Service develop
mcnl, the difficulties of travel which have
SO long held the section back, NAV be cx-
pcclcd To be overcome. The carving out of
such development will require the labor of
many men for years to come.
The establishment of the National Sea-
shore may also be counted upon to further
other projects which are vital to Dare
County. Such Il development must be easily
accessible 10 the people of other regions to
confer the most benefit, and the establish
mcnt of the park would make the construc-
ton of highways connecting the coast cOun-
trv with the rest of the State by way OF
Manns Harbor virtually obligatory.
