light offerings to sell.

IA a bushel was another 25-year
peak price and only about 20 cents

1920.
With all other grains at Or near
government-fixed ceilings, the de.
mand conferred on May rye follow
ing word that the grain shortage is
UP for presidential attention at a
cabinet meeting next Tuesday.
Reports from Washington said
the light grain supply might force
a downward revision of export
quotas during the next five months
and perhaps a return OF meat ra'
tioning. Secretary Of Agriculture
Anderson appealed to farmers to
reduce hog, cattle and poultry
feeding in ordr to conserve grain
supplies for adequate dairy use.

Negro Opinion
Swings Against
Army Training

Despite the fact that Negroes
are reenlisting in the army in
greater proportion than whites,
more Negroes are now opposed to
compulsory military training
than during the war, the Negro
Digest Poll for April reveals.
Jim Crow in the armed SER
vices is the reason given for most
opposition.
Although sampling of Negro
opinion on the question SHOULD
Negroes Favor Compulsory Army
Training?" taken last October
showed about 8 per cent in fav-
or, the current poll finds that only
about 5 per cent now are in favor

me some advice. | have a child
the age of two. His father is in
service. He always asked me
to marry him until the baby was
born and now he never speaks
of it. / have met several nice
friends since he has been away
and one in particular l car for.
But l worry as l don't think it
would be fair to the child's faith
er to marry while he is away but

penses. Tell me what to do.
Ans: The boy in service of
fered you marriage before the
child came but you refused so
often that he finally took it for
granted that you did not want
the security he could give you.
He is the father Of your child and
deserves some consideration.
Write him that you want mar
riage now and try to find out his
present views on the subject. If
he is still willing. then you would
certainly want to wait and give
him a chance for the child's sake
as well as your own. If not, then
you may as well feel free to seek
your happiness with someone else.

Z. S. B.-I am a woman, very
much in love with a man but he
isn't like he used to be. When
he comes around me now he is
always bringing up woman's
name who he goes with and |
know she is married. He knows
that | don't like her and he teas
es me all of the time. He says
that he loves me but he doesn't
act like he did. Give me some
advice?
Ans: It's folly to sit idly by
and let him have all the fun. j..
why not turn the tables and give
him a little stiff competition and
see his reaction. The chances are
he'll see red, but it will force
decision. Choose some attractive
single man and be seen frequent
ly with him. If he cares at all
for you, your going with another
man won't be so pleasant for
him. If you manage to get him
back again, take him back under
the condition that he discontinue
his friendship with married wo-
men.

another week or so then left. Be-
fore ne left, heard some bad re-
ports about him and when he ask
ed had | heard anything about
him, told him yes. He told me
that he had planned to tell me
himself but wanted to wait until
later. He begged me to write
him when he left. | told him |
would if he would write me first
but he didn't want to do this. So
he has been gone quite some time
now and he hasn't written and |
want to know if | should write
him first? His brother is telling
me now that he is married.
Ans: That alone should be
reason enough for you not to
write the fellow at all, =. neither
answer his letters were he to
write you. You found him at
tractive and charming but 1t is
definitely not true love. There is
one factor that you are overlook
ing. if this young man were
single and very interested in you,
he would not need any coaxing at
all to write you first, second or
otherwise. Don't worry your
pretty head any longer about this
fellow. get out and make new
friends and be sure they are
single.

tourist scene is the fact that many of the
less publicized areas like that of the superb
Northwest North Carolina section are be-
ginning to come into their own. The Ashe-
vile area is of course, world famous and
always draws Ia &c tourist trade in nor
NAL years. but there are many sections in
Western North Carolina which have re-
markable scenic and Summer living and
recreatio lal &C 1antages which until recent
years seldom Grew many tourists. These
areas have much to offer tourists and va
cationists and should be given more pub
icity. Enterprising businessmen in those
sections should in the meantime provide
more hotels, inns, and recreational faciE-
ties for increased tourist business.
Resumption of work on the Blue Ridge
Parkway at a comparatively early date
means that within a few years all the
mountain section of the State from the
Virginia line south and westward into the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
will be thrown open to thousands of tour
lists from the North and East as well as
those from this and other Southern states.
A great future is thus assured this para
disc for vacationists and wisdom dictates
that the mountain counties get ready for it
by providing the facilities needed by the
visitors.-(The Winston-Salem JournaD.

Improving Our Town

We congratulate the town officials on
several initial steps taken toward the i'm
provement of our town. One of the big
gest improvements was cleaning up and
keeping the streets marked off to facii-
tate parking. Further limitations on park
ing will also be a help.
Since West Jefferson is enjoying a nat
ural period of growth we believe it is time
to enforce some zoning regulations, not
only for business, but residential property.
Properly worked out and enforced, such
regulations not only mean real protection
to property owners, but will greatly en-
nance the beauty and safety of our town.
If property owner builds $4,000 resi-
dence and next to this another is allowed
to build $4,000 job, the effect is OBJ
vious. Let's work out and carry out some
zoning regulations in our town.
