Editorial
GREETINGS FROM THE TRIBUNE

''In the beginning, God Created
and so goes the Bible.
And here is the beginning OF
newspaper designed to live and serve
the peoples of all races and colors Nv
ing in the area surrounding Tabor City
with special emphasis upon Clumbus
county, y. c.. and Horny county, 5. Z.
Here is a newspaper for you and
your family. A newspaper planned
for the whole age group making up
our society, from the grammar grade
student to the community's Oldest
mother.
A newspaper with no political OBJ
legations, no pledges to any pressure
groups, no motives other than honor
able, and no plans contrary to the gen
eral wishes of the people it serves.
A newspaper pledged to do It's ut
most for the betterment OF the churches,
the schools, the communities and all or
carnations aimed at raising our living
standard and our civilization.
Yes, this is a little newspaper point
ing out big detectives. Perhaps our
sights are on the stars and we will hit
only the chimney tops but we are on
the way up.
We will not lie dormant while a
timely editorial might prompt some
official into community action for the
betterment of all. Perhaps we will make
an enemy Of few individuals in doing
so but at tire same time, perhaps many
others will be served.
We say again, this is your news
paper. Make it just that. Call on its
editor when YOU are in town. Write it
the news when YOU know it. And know
the paper as a person, friend, ser
vant--your friend, your servant, yes,
your helper. Your efforts will be APP
preciated.

pE1NTT INDUSTRY TURNS CORNER

The Nations peanut problem is a
far cry from the problems Of yesteryear.
Today peanuts rank as one Of the ten
most valuable field crops in the Z. s.
Farmers have been selling their crop
for more than one hundred and fifty
million dollars year. And OF course
a good many million dollars worth never
60 to market they're used for seed and
eaten by the people who produce them
and by their livestock. But aside from
what stays on the farm, the peanut
growers have been realizing four times
as much cash for their crop as they were
getting before the war. The cash re-
turns in recent years have been ten times
as much as in 1882. Between 1872 and
the beginning Of the wal, the improve
ment was gradual.

LET'S PROMOTE SAFETY

Too much can not be said in prals-
ing the civic clubs in Tabor City and
neighboring towns. One of the fore
most tokens of community's desire
to grew in character as we'll as physical
ly burst into the limelight with hard
working, conscientious civic clubs.
1t seems to us that one of the great
est goals that the local groups should
set their sights upon, is the increase
in highway safety measures, thus IN
ereasing protection for the citlzenry.
1t is all but safe to be upon the high
WAYS with current reckless drivers rum
ming rampant. The screech Of tires and
brakes, the prolonged blowing OF horns,
and whiz Of speeding, traffic puts life
and limb III jeopardy.
The local Civilian club at recent
meeting set as one of its goals for the
coming year, the increase in efforts to
bring about greater safety IN the area.
It seems to us that all the organizations
might do we'll to endorse this pledge.

c. D. Raper Finds
Tobacco Worms
In MOlie Area

Charles D. Raper, Columbus county
farm agent, was looking over the
tobacco situation in the Mollie area
last week in connection with the al
legged new king of tobacco worm
which is working the crop this year.
"I found IA tobacco worms on one
stalk of tobacco on Mr.. Hinson's
farm there. There is no doubt that
they have tobacco worms and they
are little different color perhaps from
the ordinary worm but any usual
stomach poison Wi kill them," Mr..
Raper said.
Among the best types of stomach
poisons which will take care of the
kind of worms I saw are Cryolite and
Krycide," MIR. Raper continued.

MILK IMPROVED
FLIERS' VISION

Schenectady, June Canadian
fliers during the war improved their
vision by drinking milk, Kenneth F.
Fee of Albany, director of the milk
control division of the New York
State Department Of Agriculture and
Markets, declared in General
Electric Farm Paper of the Air ad-
dress here over WGY.
Experiments conducted by the
nutritional division of the Royal
Canadian Air Force conclusively DEM
onstrated that the vision of their
airmen could be materially improved
by feeding them asubstanae known
to scientists as riboflavin," MIR. Fee
pointed out. IAN adequate amount
of this substance could not be furn-
ished without feeding milk.
GAS a result of the work of the nu-
tritional division, the amount OF
milk allowed per day per man was
increased from single ounce sup
piled at the beginning of the war,
first to 10 ounces and later to "a
ounces per day. The feeding Of such
amounts of milk to Canadian airmen

AGENT SAYS
VACCINATE FOR POX
(By Charles D. Raper)

The late Matched pullets as we'll
as the early pullets, should be vac
cinated for fowl pox. There is a
tendency for many poultry producers
to over look vaccinating the late
Matched pullets. This neglect often
costs heavily in lost egg production
during the fall and winter. Be sure
to vaccinate the pullets by the time
they are 16 weeks old. 1t takes as
much as 80 days after vaccination
for the birds to become immune
to pox. Pox vaccination may be
done any time between 8 and 10
weeks of age. It should be done
early enough for the birds to get
over it and have immunity establish
ed before they start laying. An
outbreak of pox as result of neg
lect to vaccinate the flock can easily
cost enough in lost egg production
to vaccinate the flock for Is to ~
years.

OUR GREATEST NEED

A speaker in Tabor City once re-
marked that your town is growing
in every way except culturally' and
in that statement is philosophy
yes a kind of neWsy editorial.
Business in Tabor has multiplied
and expanded, apparently unable to
reach a peak. Some persons contend
that there is more business carried
on in this town than in any other
town of equal size in the United
States" That might very well be
true.
Yet, the town lacks the cultural
spark necessary for its future well
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1946-07-05

being. That spark needs little to
ignite. THE TRIBUNE believes
that a public library, more than any
ether one thing, has the power of
broadening the community culturally
Where there is business there is
money and where there is money
there is a way of building a munich
pal, public library. This town Is in
dire need of that library.
THE TRIBUNE knows of no great
err service to this community that any
public spirited citizen might perform
than that of building such an insti-
tuition.

CHECK AGAIN FOR
LICE AND MITES:

Don't take chances with lice and
mites. Check the birds often for lice
and the roost for the mites during
hot weather. Better treat the roostS,
for mites anyway to prevent them
from getting a start even though
they are not found on inspection.
It is easier to prevent mite infesta-
ton than it is to eradicate an in
festation.

WATCH EFFECTS OF NEW
GRAIN ON THE FLOCK:

When you start feeding new grain
to the flock, start gradually by mix
ing a little of the new grain with
the old and gradually increase the
proportion of new grain if no bad
effects on the flock are noticed. Be
sure the new grain is thoroughly dry
before you start feeding it to the
youllry.

PROVIDE ARTIFICIAL SHADE
FCt. BULLETS ON RANGE:

FCt. PULLETS ON RANGE:
If there is natural shade on the
range provide some shelters for the
pullets. These shelters may be
made W stretching feed bags over
a frame, or by placing bushes on
frame. Keep the feed troughs and
water founts in the shade. Do not
expose the feed to the sun, as 1t
kills the vitamins. Temporary shade
such as a shelter is more satisfactory
than trees, grape vines, buildings,
etc. on account of diseases and para
sites.

DrauD Line on
Soviet Expansion

There have been a long series of
books by experts and others, telling
just what is wrong with our foreign
policy and what might have been
done or might be done to improve
it. William Bullitt tried in a book
(already mentioned in these col
umns) to show that Russia's dreams
Of empire are nothing new, that
the Soviets are merely taking up
where the Cars left off. More
recently Louis Fischer has come
along with his "Great Challenge"
Edgar Ansel Mowrer, reviewing
this book in the Saturday Review of
Literature, says that eff Henry Wal
lace had read and understood this
book, he would not "push a
completely unrealistic policy of ap-
peasement of Soviet Russia" Now
rer probably would be the last per-
son to claim that he was prejudiced
in favor of the Soviet rule but he
is certainly familiar with his SUBJ
ject and his comment is worth con-
sideration. AS for Fischer, he laughs
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1946-11-22

at the idea put forth by the Russo
philes that all we have to do is to
assure Russia of her security, re-
move her suspicious and fears of
democracy, and then she will march
shoulder to shoulder with the rest
of us. Fischer says Russia's be-
havior is explained not by fear of
attack but by certainty that she will
not be attacked. This belief seems
to be back of the American action
here today. 1t is to be hoped that
during the negotiations at Lake Sue
cess, Russia's more specific objec-
tives will be revealed as they were
in Paris. Fischer claims that
Russia is not afraid and not sus-
picious for two clear reasons: The
British empire is in decline and on
the defensive; America rushed from
victory to headlong psychological
and military rehabilitation" If
that is true then it must be made
very clear to the Soviets that re-
CARELESS of what we may think
about the decline of the British en-
pire and Americas sharp reaction
against military activity, there is
nevertheless line beyond which
Russian expansion will not be al
lowed to 60. 1t is to be hoped
that line already has been reached.
The necessity, however, is to make
it very clear to both the American
public and the Russian government
that this point has been reached.
Since it is admitted that Russia can
not and does not want to fight, it is
not question of war.
1t is expected that the pin-prick-
ing policy by Yugoslavia will con-
tinue. At this writing further eff
forts to obtain control of the OAR
danelles are limited to name-call-
ing in the Russian press. It must
also be remembered that when the
United States put its foot down and
Russia saw that it would not pay
to 60 farther, Tito could 60 into re-
verse.

diately blocked. The question now
remains as to what line of approach
the Russians have decided upon, if
any. In the meeting of the assem-
bly, they tried to continue their
obstructionist tactics.
The real test will come in the for
eign ministers conclave at New
York.
There is a considerable element
in the United States, by no means
entirely composed of convinced
Communists or their more hesitant
fellow-travelers, which believes with
former Secretary of Commerce
Wallace that the United States can
pursue some middle-of-the-road pol
icy and that East and West can thus
move together without friction. There
is no question, however, that the
task that Secretary Byrnes has set
out for himself admits of no ap-
peasement.

ginning that Russia had one mega
tive purpose and that was to pre-
vent any conclusive action regard
ing the situation in Europe which
she could not dictate. Chaos, if not
time, fought on her side.
AS the negotiations continued,
however, slowly out of the mists
along the Volga another shape be-
came visible. 1t was the materializa-
ton of one phase of the divide and
conquer principle. In this case it
was the open bid for German SYM
pathy which Russia hoped would
turn the Germans in the American,
British and French zones away
from those countries and toward
Russia. Although it was Russia it.
self which prevented the economic
unification of Germany (plus Com
muniStic influences in France and
French fears) it was Russia which
suddenly offered the grandiose plan
of a unified Germany with a hint
at rectification of the eastern from
tier at the expense of Poland. This
sensational suggestion burst over
Europe and the conference like a
thunderbolt, but thanks to the quick
action of Byrnes it proved a boom
erang. Byrnes knew what to shoot
at and he shot.
The Wallace incident which for
"a hours threatened to cut Byrnes'
support from under him fortu.
nately had just the opposite effect.
Byrnes insisted on reputation Of
Wallace by the President and got
it. Then Byrnes took the stump,
showed that American policy would
give Germany everything that the
Russian plan would give her and
made it clear that the question Of
the eastern frontier might well be
