we'll as commissioners will be
made welcome at both.
Highlight of the day will be the
evening address by Rev. Dan Ora
ham, of Blountville, Tennessee,
and Holston Presbytery. Mr.. Ora
ham is to address the Presbytery
on the subject of evangelism, and
many friends and admirers of this
well-known revivalist are expect

session.
Prominent features of business
on the docket for Presbytery's
consideration and action will in
clude the petition of the Young

the employment of a full-time
Young Peoples and Sunday
School worker. Also slated for dis
cussion are proposed overtures to
the Synod Of North Carolina,
which is scheduled to meet the
following week.

Congratulations Are In Order

Harvey Laffoon, publisher of the Elkin
Tribune, was last week named president of
the North Carolina Press Association and
on this occasion we want to congratulate
both the organization and the man.
President Laffoon richly deserves this
honor, for he has been very active in the
association and through his interest and
work has made real contribution to the
association. He has long published not only
one of the outstanding weekly newspapers
in North Carolina, but in the country, hav-
ing won many state as well as national
prizes. Among these awards is community
service, which within itself is an index to
the type of paper he publishes.
We want to offer our congratulations
and best wishes to Publisher Laffoon, for
the honor bestowed on him and to the
North Carolina Press Association for hav-
ing such an able man at it's head.

Let's Build A Hotel

AS it has been pointed out many times
before, there is a definite need here for
building hotel The interest is here and
certainly now is the time to make plans or
rather to 60 ahead with plans. Building
materials will soon be available, the labor
shortage should improve, let's build hotel.
During the past summer hundreds of
tourists had to be turned away, because of
lack of accommodations, to say nothing of
transient and commercial travellers.
This section has many advantages and
the number of people, who visit it would be
greatly increased if adequate hotel facilities
were here.
With travel conditions improving next
summer should be banner season, if there
were adequate hotel facilities. Let's not
delay longer in building hotel.

More Meats To
Be RatiOn-Free

Washington - Hamburger, sau-
sage, and luncheon meats will
become ration-free Oct. l, when
point values on about Is per cent
of the total meat supply will be
reduced to zero, it was disclosed
It also was revealed that house
wives will be given four red points
and four cents a pound for fat
salvage after Sept 80, double the
value in points and cents now
given. The Agriculture Depart
ment recommended the increase
because of the critically short
supply of fats and oils.
The three lower grades of beef
cutter and utility-will
be made ration-free next month,
and red points may not be re-
quired for lower grades of lamb
and veal.

EXTENSIVE STUDY OF
IRISH POTATO MADE

CONTINUED from Page One)
was perfected, 5000 Seeding are
being tested for yield, quality and
insect-resistance.
It is interesting to note that
some of the potatoes are being
studied in tuber units here and
in this way seedlings can be def
nitely segregated and results ac-
counted for.
In discussing the production
of potatoes he pointed out that
many diseases were soil-borne. In
warding off diseases as we'll as
insects he stressed the fact that
growers should make every effort
to keep their stock clean and that
the plants should be busted for
leaf blight and flea beetles.
A number of farmers in this
area have produced certified seed
for some years. DR.. Gardner said
there was very big demand from
Florida for Sequoia seed potatoes
in this area.
The climate and altitude of the
county have been found particu-
larly favorable for the growth and
development of the Irish potato.

Ignorance Isn't Bliss

Somehow, international agreements,
major conferences between chiefs of state,
and the plans for preventing future wars
don't seem to excite the interest of large
group of people.
We realize, in vague sort of way that
the future of our nation and the welfare
of ourselves and our children may depend
upon the agreements which are worked out
during the next year, but many of us are
content to leave the details in the hands of
our government leaders.
A recent survey showed that 100000
adults never heard of the Atlantic Charter,
100000 don't know what a tariff is, and
27OOO,OOO didn't know, in 1914, that the
Japs had taken the Philippines.
To those who do follow the details of
war and the planning to prevent war, these
figures are amazing. But they show, by
and large, that about half of our population
loses interest in news when it gets beyond
their immediate horizon.
1t is dangerous state of affairs, in
democracy, for such a large number of citi-
zens to leave their nations fate entirely in
the hands of the leaders. If we hope to keep
our way of life and maintain peace it is
imperative that more of us, from now on,
take an active interest in the affairs of
nations.

Victory Over Insects

DOT, the famous insect-killer used in
the war; is now available to the public
The stories which have been built up
about the powers of this drug seem fan
tastic, yet the facts indicate that most of
them are true. DOT, put in paint and wall
paper, will bring death to flies and mos
quitoes which touch them for several years
afterward. 1t probably will end the moth
menace. 1t may rid our country of flies and
mosquitoes and other germ-carrying in
sects 1t may be used to get rid of garden
pests and at the same time not destroy
necessary bugs and insects. Perhaps it will
get rid of the termites. It will undoubtedly
be produced in a form which can be used
safely on the body to keep insects away.

Giant Sales Job

From now on we are going to hear
great deal about surplus materials. It is
estimated by some that there will be as
much as 100 billion dollars worth of sur
pluses, made for war and no longer needed
by the government, which must be disposed
of in some way. These SURPRISES include
everything from nuts and bolts to huge
factories and ships
The problem of disposing of this
huge supply of goods is a gigantic one.
1t must be done without competing too
much with the new products of in
dustry. 1t must be done so that it does
not hurt the interests of retailers and
jObbers. And it must be done so that
the taxpayers of the nation get back
as much money as possible from their
huge investment i'm war.
Naturally, in handling sales job of
this scope, some mistakes are going to be
made. Some things will be sold at prices
which might appear scandalous Other
things may be thrown away instead of sold,
in order to avoid conflict with normal bust
ness.
No matter how we'll this huge job is
handled, there will be plenty of opportuni-
ty for politicians and scandal-mongers to
find juicy bits of information which they
can offer to indict whomever they are gun
ming for. But the public would do we'll to
take any scandal stories about SURPRISES
with grain Of SALT realizing that the
worlds biggest sales job, involving thous-
ands of employees, operating with many
severe handicaps, can't be handled without
some slip-ups.

in the organization, as observer
for his section of Comm mortars,
T-Sgt. Witherspoon kept his DID,
servation post with the forward
elements of the company and was
continually under enemy mortar
and small arms fire in order to
better observe and direct the fire
of his weapons. His skill and cour-
age greatly aided in repulsing the
attack. On 20 April, when he saw
that all his experienced mortar
gunners were casualties and that
mortar fire was badly needed.
T-Sgt. Witherspoon personally
manned the one remaining mortar

fire to bear on the enemy positions
in the minimum amount of time.
He continued to man the weapon
while under a heavy concentration

of the situation was outstanding
and resulted in the elimination of
an enemy mortar position that had

siderable trouble. His quick think

Another Battle

The last battle of the Wharf.-The battle to
win the peace-has yet to be won. The win
ming of this battle will require the COM
bined effort of management, labor and gov
eminent, just as these forces cooperated to
win the battles that have brought defeat
to our enemies.
A sound peacetime economy will de-
pend, as Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., chairman OF
General Motors, says upon our ability to
build more and better things for more peo-
ple General Motors and industry as
whole today are blowing millions of capital
back into the establishment of a production
machine to meet the needs of peace. Presi-
dent Truman has indicated clearly his con-
seriousness of the need to reconvert quickly
and effectively.
Thus, we have picture of management
and government working to insure our fu-
ture, while labor leaders give the impress
sion of being interested only in the present.
This is not the teamwork that is required
to win the battle ahead. Strikes at this time
which delay our return to peacetime pro-
duction can be just as damaging as those
which hampered our preparation for war
and the prosecution of the shooting war.
