Eastern seaboard. One such sta
ton is located in New Hanover
County across the Cape Fear River
from Wilmington.
The workers have stopped dig
ging because, as an official said,
potatoes just can't be Sold" All
labor camps in that section are
full of workers, waiting for the gov
eminent to offer parity price OF
$3.50 per hundred pounds. Many
thousands of pounds lie in the
ground.
Light Digging
In Pamlico there Is only light dig
ging of potatoes. In Carteret most
of the growers got their potatoes
out of the ground, graded and sold
while the market was good, the Of
Ificial said.
Neither growers nor workers
know when the government agency
will offer parity for just the grad
ed potatoes or those still in the
ground. Last year the potatoes
bought were sold to distilleries and
made into whiskey while some
were destroyed.
ALI but one of the seven labor
camps in the state, set up by the
government are full Of workers
who migrate each year from the
southern states to dig potatoes, II
Twas learned yesterday from the mi.
Igrant labor station across the river.
The lone camp is Castle Hayne,
where only a few workers are liv.
ling Other camps are in Bayboro,
Aurora, Morehead City, Weeksville,
CRANKY, and Columbia.
Workers Not Needed
North Carolina is not urging
workers to come here to work,
officials at the labor station said,
Other labor stations, which do sim
liar work to the one here, ri al
the Georgia-Florida line and al
Little Creek, Va.
The migrant workers stop at
these stations and are advised
where there Is work, about hous-
ing and crop conditions.
Most of the workers travel up the
highway along the Cape Fear. Since
the local station opened on May
IA about four or five thousand
workers have passed up the road,
looking for work and receiving ad-
vice. The station stays open 18
hours a day, seven days a week.
In charge are N. B. Boddie OF
Rocky Mount, j. r. Baucomb, Ra-
leigh and S. D. Smithwick Of Wash
Iington. All are with the unem-
ployment offices there and are

|ment division Of the extension farm
labor program.
Big Business
These men look on the migratory
labor business as one Of the big
|gest things in the country. With.
out them the market would never
be safe, they said. Some laborers
travel by bus, some by car, some
by train and truck, they said.
They talk with crew leaders, find
the number of workers, usually
Negroes, in an outfit and if they
have no agreement with a farmer
to work for him, they try to
place them on a job. So tar they
have been successful in placing
all the workers this season.
Some of the workers go on be-
You'd North Carolina and Virginia
to work. Many move on into Con-
necticut where they work in can
neries until about November l
then they begin moving South
lagain.
And next year they begin the
trip North again with the season.
Many Of the workers have made
the trip many times, the labor sta
ton officials said.

Two Time Systems
| Starring Next Week
By the Associated Press

Next Sunday will be a "D-day'
for Maryland, calling for daylight
saving time and an unorganized as
sault on synchronization of the
States clocks.
In absence Of a Statewide plan,
clocks in Maryland's large cities
were due to move ahead one hour
while the rest Of the State sticks to
standard time Not only will there
be two time zones throughout the
State, but clocks within some coun-
ties won't even agree.
Ready to push their clocks ahead
are Baltimore City, Baltimore
County, Anne Arundel County,
Hagerstown, Cumberland. Frederick
and Westminster. Baltimore and
Anne Arundel are the only two to
take countrywide action. This meant
many small towns will stand fast
come next Sunday, while their
county seats go on fast time.
Frederick Confusion Cited.
This was the situation in Allie
Igany, Washington and Frederick
Counties. In Frederick, the con-
fusion reached a climax when the
school board decided to compromise
the time problem by opening the
city schools a. half hour later than
usual and county schools half an
hour earlier.
Thus, the city schools will open at
$50 am. daylight time and the
Frederick County. schools at $50
am. standard time.
The time differences posed a prob
lem for industries and railroads as
well as retail establishments. All
the railroads serving Maryland
planned timetable adjustments, in
some cases operating on both stand
ard and daylight hours.
The Baltimore & Ohio will add
trains to its Washington-Jersey City
and Baltimore Washington sched-
ules. The Pennsylvania will operate
all its Washington-New York and
Baltimore Philadelphia trains ac-
cording to daylight time.
The Western Maryland also was
readying changes in its Baltimore
Hagerstown service.
Some industries planned to push
ahead clocks while others in the
same city don't. The indecision was
due to the fact that some employees
would be living on standard time
while others would be on fast time
Some sections still haven't faced
the issue. Montgomery County, one
of the counties authorized by the
State Legislature to change, passed
the question when opposition de-
veloped. Montgomery and Prince
Georges County residents are being
influenced largely by the District
of Columbia which has not yet de-
cided whether or not to stay on
standard time.

Prompting a Reader to Consider
His Ideas With Fresh Interest

| reader will remember, above all else.
the two essays addressed to future
historian. Particularly will he re-
call the thought of an Enghshman,
returning into the country in the
autumn of 1914 after the war in
France had become "a war of move
ment," and five years Of London
bombing were behind him, that:
"All permanence was astonishing.
But only reading can do justice to
the essays because each calls for its
especial appreciation. There is no
space in a brief review to indicate,
with as much graciousness as Mr..
Morgan extends the invitation to do
so, the points at which one might
differ with him. For example, he
says beautifully that the rlanifesta-
tions of nature are messages from
preserved order" but seems unwill-
ing to accept the logical conse-
quences of that thought. Again,
there are times when the novelist
shoulders the essayist aside, as when
he speaks of life Though it must be
admitted without capitalizing the
wordD "as though compassionate
for our predicament, tempers its
harshness with glorious consistency
of mercy, as men with systems do
not"
It is fair to say that the essays
do what he announces as their in
tention to do. They prompt
reader =. to consider his own
ideas with fresh interest. ."
And that end is, no doubt, implicit
in the definition of an essay.

The idea of longer season with
DR.. Kinder conducting would be
pleasing to the musicians, but some
times they wonder if they coule
take the extra work as we'll as the
extra income.
1t would mean even more variety
both In concerts and under more
conductors, and there is also tn,
possibility that an incident which
occurred last year might occur
again.
The musicians had worked fol
weeks during DR.. Kindler's vaca'

Did he think they had been taking
it easy under guest conductors?
DR.. Kinder, full of pep, picked III
his baton. He clapped his hands
