farm MORTGAGE
REDUCTION Big
IN This area

While food alone may not win the
war and write the peace, |. w. Dug
gan, governor of the Farm Credit
Administration, believes that victory
will not be achieved without food
The Farm Credit governor, here on
an official visit to the 18th district,
comprising the states of Idaho, Mon
tends that food production in 1915
may be more important than in any
year since the war began. He feels,
however, that farmers and ranchers
generally will rise to the challenge
and hang up another good record de-
spite their difficulties. In connection
with 1915 production, Mr.. Duggan
points out, there will be a market at
sustained prices for every ounce of
food farmers can produce, adding that
after the war there also will be plenty
of mouths to feed both here and
abroad.
Although primarily concerned with
the immediate task of food produc-
ton, farmers are keeping their wealth
er eye to postwar problems, in the
opinion of the governor. AS proof of
thi ssound, longtime view taken by
farmers, the national FCA head cites
the reduction in farm mortgage debt
in the Pacific northwest
"The annual farm mortgage interest
bill has been reduced million dol
lars in the 18th Farm Credit district
since 1940," said Mr.. Duggan. RE
duction of the farm mortgage debt in
the past four years has amounted to
% per cent in Washington, 10 per
cent in Oregon, and 81 per cent in
Idaho Montana, the fourth state of
the district, lead the nation by reduc-
ing list outstanding farm mortgage
by 40 per cent from 1910
to 1914. The total farm mortgage
debt in the United States is now only
a little more than 5 billion dollars
or about one-half of what it was in
1923.

PHYSICAL
THERAPIST
Scholarships

A critical shortage of qualified phys
ical therapists which endangers the
proper care of infantile paralysis vic
tins has caused the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis to appro-
pirate $1,267,O for the training of
these vitality needed specialists, Basil
O'Connor, president announced today
Present day medical treatment of
patients with infantile paralysis de-
mands more and more physical Their
apy Mr. O'Connor explained. "a phys
ical therapist is a technician who uses
physical agents such as heat, electric
ity, light, exercise, rest, muscle-train-
ing and similar methods in contrast
to the use of drugs, biological and
surgical technics.
To-day there are only $500 quail
fled physical therapists, Of whom
more than half are in the armed
forces. With earlier and more ex-
tensive use of such methods of treat
ment, so imperative in the treatment
of infantile paralysis, twice the num-
Der already trained could be used for
this disease alone. 1t is estimated
that an additional 5000 could be used
right now, not only for the treatment
of infantile paralysis, but also for
aiding recovery from many other dis
eases and disabilities"
The S1,267, 900 program developed
under the guidance of special COM
mittee established in the field of phys
ical therapy consists of three parts:
% S1,107,000 for scholarships to
train new physical therapists
(2) $4,000 for fellowships to pro-
vide additional teachers and,
90 S7S,6OO for general development
of the field of physical therapy.
I'VE feel" said Mr.. O'Connor, that
this step constitutes one of the out
standing contributions which the
American public has made through
the March of Dimes to the fight
against infantile paralysis.
1.-THE national foundation since 1t !
was organized in 1888 has spent up
to now more than a million dollars in
the development of the fields of phys
ical medicine and physical therapy.
"This new program is designed to
provide urgently needed personnel
necessary to fulfill the national foun-
dation's PLEDGE that complete medi-
cal care wiz be assured, so far as
possible, for infantile paralysis vic
tins, regardless of age, race, creed,
color or lack of financial ability to
pay for services rendered.

Missouri Takes Over

In the good old days before Hoover's
election it was customary to believe and
openly declare another century must
pass before President could be elect
ed from beyond the Mississippi. Then
came Mr.. Hoover's election and another
cherished eastern tradition went over
board. Now, another President from
the region is in the White House, and,
furthermore, being a Missourian, Mis-
souri, has practically taken over in
Washington.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which
is always frank and courageous, and
at times indulging a whimsy, calls at
tention to the situation, with it's usual
forthrightness, saying:
ever since Andrew Jackson start
ed the thing off with bang by turn
ing the rascals out to make room for
political friends, there have been spo-
radio times in our national life when it
has been a great thing to be a Demo-
crat. But never has there been anything
quite like the felicity today in being a
Democrat-from Missouri.
From top to bottom, from recon-
version to export banking, Missourians
are running the country. Washington
is full of them. The thing has got to the
point that every policy difference ne
gotiated among Administration agen-
cies is another Missouri Compromise.
ut is a good thing for the country
that Harry Truman comes from State
so bounteously supplied with superior
talent for statecraft and administra-
ton
There is one question we should like
to have answered. If Hawaii is given
statehood, and a Hawaiian should be
elected President and share MIR. Tru-
mans feeling for the folk back home,
how would we fare if Hawaiians took
over in the National Capital as the
Missourians have done?

World Bank Credits

With the Breton Woods agre>~ nj
ratified in Washington, there is s--le
probability that extensive credit lines
through the international Bank for Re-
construction and Development, set up
under Breton Woods provisions, will
be in operation by the end of 1916.
But it is to be observed that this
new world banking institution, intend
ed to aid war-wrecked nations get back
on their feet, will not supercede the
strictly American Export-Import bank,
which has already extended some bill
lion dollars Of foreign credits and has
a billion, eight hundred million dollars
available for further loans.
The Export-1mport bank proposes
to make loans where they will stimu-
late American foreign trade. A New
York Wall Street comment column
notes: Private banking also is study
ing several important foreign loans, the
Netherlands and Belgian governments
being among the borrowers. Public Of
ferings of foreign securities, whether
carrying a world bank guarantee or
designation or issued directly by the
borrowerer are not expected much be-
fore 1947."
The credits being engineered in this
country for foreign borrowers are in
strong contrast with this government
curtailment of domestic installment
buying when World War II was still a
new adventure.

Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany has noted little change in
availability of materials for the
installation of new customer tele-
phones or repair to those now in
service. during the months since
hostilities ended in the Pacific.
o. G. Balm, general manager OF
the local Southern Bell organiza-
ton, seemed very optimistic about
the future operations of the com
pany and said "within six months
the major problems with which we
are now confronted should be lev
eled out and we should be able to
he"in to give our customers the
service they deserve"
''At this time we are using ev-
cry piece of apparatus we have
and all we can get as fast as it
arrives for those who have had
their orders for telephones placed
some months" the manager con-
tinued.
When asked how his men are
coming along with installations,
Balm said that installations are
up to expectations. Despite
seemingly Overwhelming odds,
we are getting the telephones to
our new subscribers as early as
we expected" He said.

TOP O. THE MORNING
Day For Resolutions

Today offers the last opportunity to
get right with ones bad habits. When
you waken tomorrow they will either be
replaced for the better or have strength
ened their position as masters of the
situation.
New Years resolutions may be more
conspicuous by collapse than obser-
vance, but the individual who quits this
or that unwise practice on the first day
of the year, and sticks to it through
thick and thin, gains more in character
than he can by most other means.
On the other hand, failure to adopt
New Years reform adds strength to
whatever evil remains in ones life.
Laugh as one will at New Years
resolutions, they are great institu-
ton, particularly if one has the cour-
age and fortitude to stick to them.

RALEIGH, Dec. 30.-The mo-
mentous year of 1945 has been one
of good health for the people of
North Carolina. There have been
no serious epidemics such as that
which marked the preceding year,
when we suffered the most severe
infantile paralysis outbreak in our
history, and unless all present in
dications fail, our general death
rate will be the lowest-or as low
as any we have experienced.
The 1914 general death rate in
North Carolina was 7.9 per one
thousand population, and through
October this year 681 fewer of our
people had died than the cores
ponding period last year, when an
all-time low rate was established.
While there has been slight
decline in our birth rate under
1914, this has not been a cause
for any concern, because there
has. so far. been decline also
N the number Of deaths. If we
should suffer a shorp upturn in
deaths and, at the same time, an
appreciate falling off of our birth
rate. this would indicate trouble.
This decline in our birth rate
might have been expected due to
separations naturally resulting
from wartime conditions.

What's new that can be written

asks, and comes closer than most
authors to finding the answer.
With fighting over. his text is a
sorty of quiet reflection, a reflec-
ton from six or eight months
away, of the conflict in the Paci-

planes and white, brown and black
men; about rain that pours side
wise; about sand in your eyes and
mud up to your knees at the same
time; and about the desperate need
of dull logistics, since it's a sub
ject he must treat, for> "a sex

We are just now launching a
great case-finding program in our

ultimate objective being an X-Ray

in diagnosing this disease among
our people in its early and cur
able stages. With the present
knowledge and equipment avail

in due course, as rare as small

can be accomplished-to find the
disease early, and to segregate the
sick from the well.

held the lines in North Carolina,
with results that speak for them

there can be no turning back. We

Editorial Comment
HOUSING AND CRIME

The social economists are citing statistics
to prove that definite relationship exists
between the current housing shortage and
the increased incidence of crime.
For instance, they remark that the influ-
ence of inadequate housing and generally bad
social surroundings is forceably illustrated
by recent study in New Haven, Conn. There
the delinquency ratio in group Of BIT families
was found to be 3.18 delinquents out of every
100 children before the families were taken
into new housing project; since the project
was started the rate has been only 1.64 to
every 100 children.
The lesson to be read in that is too obvious
to require NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Record.

Reference here is to the sharp
increase in diphtheria cases and
deaths. Diphtheria is prevent
able disease, and when the number
of cases and deaths register in
creases of one hundred per cent,
plus, it is high time for us to take
stock of ourselves and wipe out
this stigma. This can be done by
the cooperation of parents and
guardians who make up the citi-
zenry of our state.
Latest available figures show a
decrease of 214 in the number of
deaths among children under
year old in North Carolina, also
an appreciate decrease in ma

for the activities of public health
workers and physicians, also the
interest Of parents.
