Farm Cooperation

Increasing demands of industry for work
men, together with the operation of the draft,
which increase the problems of the snall-farm
owner by threatening shortage of help give
new emphasis to suggestion by the Farm
Security Administration, that farmers make
more use of cooperative services. Through
such an organization the farmers are able to
band together to buy costly equipment which
it would not be feasible for an individual to
own.
The Farm Security Administration has aided
many small farmers in various parts of the
country to form such cooperatives and has
loaned them funds for equipment to permit
more efficient farming. BY this means the
small-farm owner has overcome what might
otherwise have been severe handicap.
This is the modern counterpart of the old.
time custom among good neighbors of ex.
changing work to help one another in times of
difficulty. The modern difference is that it is
carried out along more business-like lines.
Adoption of the plan and utilization of the
federal facilities at their disposal might enable
North Carolina farmers to tighten their indi-
vldual work, reduce their individual expenses
and gain larger net returns

next lap of their journey. AS the season ad-
vances more of these conveyances will be
seen in our streets and more and more out
ofstate licenses will be noted on passing auto
mobiles whose occupants are spinning South
ward and stopping overnight at hotels along
the way. A fair proportion of these are Will
mington's overnight guests, but few remain
longer than from supper to breakfast.
Might it not be possible to hold some of
them for longer visits if we could offer at
tractive tourist and trailer camps with the
best of accommodations at low cost? Other
cities similarly situated on main traHicways
are doing it. It seems reasonable to believe
that Wilmington could do it too.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-11-03
Council Manager
Administration

Sentiment for consolidated city and county
government under council-manager administra-
ton is growing In Wilmington and New Han
over county. Citizens who have sweated under
a heavy tax burden due in part to uneconomic
public purchases and more particularly to lack
of cooperation between the two existing gov
erning bodies, see in it their best means both
of reducing the high cost Of government and of
securing efficient, business-like administration.
They take the view that the business of
the city and the county should be conducted as
carefully, with an eye to expense and income,
as any private business in the community.
They know that competent business men
watch with hawk-lke attention every item of
cost and buy only where they enjoy definite
advantage, and they feel that unless this same
principle obtains in their government their
expenses for government will become more
and more burdensome and unwarranted
With this feeling uppermost in their minds,
the people of Wilmington and New Hanover
county are coming to the realization that they
need centralized administrative authority. in
the interest of economy and efficiency, as def
initely as does a merchantile establishment.
This is noted with deep satisfaction by every
body hereabouts who earnestly wants Will
mington and New Hanover county to make the
greatest possible progress and take advantage
of their opportunities.
In this growing public support there is rea-
son to feel that the necessary legislation will
find approval at Raleigh and the machinery
be set up for giving the voters of Wilmington
and New Hanover county chance to express
their wish for this most necessary change in
governmental policy at the polls. 1t is fair to
hope, even right to believe, that vast major
ity of voters with the present water crisis in
mind, will support their demand for efficient
administration with the power of their ballots
It is appropriate, however, to say that in the
meantime this desirable outcome will be bet
ter assured if all persons who realize that an
unmanaged business is bound to collapse con-
duct an intensive personal campaign among
their friends for approval both of the legsla-
ton and the measure when it is presented at
the pols

have been inclined to think of
Hollywood as a glittering capital
of fun and gathering place for
fascinating geniuses and scintillat-
ing intellectuals would be amused,
I believe, to know how simple are
most of the pleasures enjoyed by
the reputedly great minds and the
assertedly bright stars.
Five years ago. when I came

the studios, famous actors and
actresses were standing around
Juggling short lengths of rope with
weights on the free ends. They
were doing this between scenes

In the Mountains

Chief interest centers naturally in the out
come of Tuesdays election in the nation as
whole But there is interest, too, in the out
come in North Cardinals mountain district
Both Democrats and Republicans are hard at
work to roll up majority there.
For the last eight years it has gone demo-
cratic. But there is strong republican tradi-
ton, dating back to the War Between the
States. The mountain folk, descendants of
Eastern emigrants, were stern Unionists then
people in the single Mississippi county which
refused to go with their state into the Con-
federacy.
But that tradition was blasted eight years
ago, and again four years ago. The Republ-
cans are determined to win back this mountain
vote in the present campaign if it is humanity
possible. By Republican standards the noun
taineers who vote the democratic ticket are
|deserters.
Probably there is no keener contest in the
country than the one now going on in this
particular section of North Carolina. The re-
suits of the campaigning will be watched with
deep interest.
