Portal Pay

While the Senate bill dealing with
portal pay is more sweeping than the
measure previously passed by the
House, and conference committee con-
sideration may become necessary. it is
faily apparent hat the Sc, OOO, 900 900
suits filed in the country's courts are
to be set aside and industry be saved
this huge amount of unearned money
sought by workers.
There is no sound reason why
workers should be paid for time spent
in crossing plant yards or changing
from street to work clothes before
going on shift or afterwards. To have
approved legislation granting this pay
would have been c%onfiscatory and en-
couraged idleness. If an employe was
to draw pay for all time within plant
property, what is to prevent him from
going to work an hour or more before
the whistle blows and dwadling over
the above changes in raiment or ira
verslng the ground from entrance gate
to locker room?
The laborer is worthy of his hire
and should draw a living wage, but we
cannot condone the proposal to COM
pensate him for this so-called portal
time. The Senate and the House are
to be expected to get together on the
differences in their separate bills and
work out legislation both can adopt.
And most %assuredly the President is to
be expected to sign the legislation once
it is passed.

Plain Spoken Monty

Field Marshal Lord Montgomery,
head Of the British Army, is a peppery,
p%laln-spoken soul, whose military judy
ment is better than his political. Now
be is in a peck of trouble for turning an
address he was making before a group
OF London engineers into a political
harangue. At least this is how Brit
aims Prime Minister, Clement Attlee,
i%nterprets it.
And it may have been just that, too,
for the indomitable Monty got so far
off his subject as to say that Britain
Is in sore need of leadership in it's
present economic crisis.
Such talk is to be expected from Mr..
Churchill, OF Sir Anthony Eden, or anv
other leader Of the opposition. 1t may
even be true. Mr.. Attlee's govern
ment has not exhibited a high type of
leadership in this crisis, but criticism
from the Army's No. l man is verv
much on a level with similar criticism
from General Eisenhower, if Ike should
70 far forget himself as to find fault
with the Truman administration -
which he is not likely to do.
1T is highly undesirable Mr.. Att
lee told the Commons, "that anyone
holding such a position should make q
political speech" Right. But at the
same time, Monty, though apologize
cannot have failed to bring comfort tc

atmosphere, according to the
sound-pattern. The vibrations are
sent out through a horn, and we
hear the writing on the record.
In one type OF electrical phono-
graph the needle moving along the
tone groove, gives rise to tiny
electric currents which are ampli-
fled and sent to a loudspeaker.
Scientists have known for a long
time that it was possible to make
a record of the vibrations of sound;
but the first practical instrument
to do this was invented by Thomas
A. Edison in 1877. BY simply re-
versing this machine, it was found
that you could make it talk"
Early records were shaped like
cylinders and covered with tin
foil. Then Alexander Graham Bell
and others developed a wax cylin-
der record.
Meanwhile, a good motor had to
be developed to make the talking
machine operate. Originally. cleo
trio motors operated by storage
batteries were used. The spring
motor. Or clockwork motor, then
came into use.
The next development was the
flat disc, the kind Of record we
know today. At first. only n side
was used. but today both sides
generally have recordings.
Many inventors have worked to
improve the talking machine, and
every item Of its construction has
been re-designed again and again.
The early talking machines had
a large horn, somewhat like 4
megaphone. Later the horn was
built into the body of the machine
cabinet. Electrically driven mo
tors. operated by house current,
were perfected.
There have been great improve
ments also in methods of record
ing in recent years. Reproduced
sounds have become SO realistic
that it often is practically impos-
sible to tell them from the original.
The early machines had a harsh
metallic sound. and sometimes I'M
usual noises would be heard in
the recordings. Such unWelcome
sounds have been done away with,
and the tone of the instrument has
been greatly improved.

Sounds are vibrations, or waves,

A talking machine makes waves

Think Of it in this way-sounds
can be written, and then, instead
OF reading them, we hear them
by means Of the talking machine.
How do men 90 about writing
sound-waves? AT first the inventors
used a disc Uhey called it a dla-
phragm) which trembled when
sound vibrations struck it. A little
needle, called a recording stylus,
was attached to me diaphragm,
and as the diaphragm trembled the
needle moved also. As it moved,
the needle point traced lines upon
a record: in this way the pattern
Of the air vibrations was written
on the record. This old method
is called acoustical recording, from
the word meaning to hear.
In modern recording, the sound
waves enter a radio microphone
and are changed to impulses OF
electricity. The impulses are am
plified (made stronger). The cur
rent, still carrying the sound-pat-
tern, passes through coils which
affect an electromagnet. The cleo
tromagnet controls a stylus, ana
the stylus writes the sound-pattera
on the record. This is called cleo
trical recording, and it produces
far clearer, truer records than the
older method.
A soft wax-like disc is usually
rotated on the recording machine
in contact with the stylus. AS the
stylus is moved by the electro
magnets attraction. it cuts into the
soft material of the disc and traces
on the surface a spiral line called
the tone groove. A magnifylns
glass shows that this spiral line

It shows that of North Cardinals
fifty-five institutions of higher learn
ing - Junior and senior colleges-not
one exists in southeastern North Caro-
lima. Pupils from this section of the
state intent upon continuing their edu-
cation above high school level must
20 away from home, at great expense
to their parents and household lncon-
venience. The money they must spend,
not only for actual school costs but for
everything else, go into the merchants
tills of other cities, into transportation,
entertainment and other normal ex-
penditures.
Aside from its educational advant-
age a junior college here would be
worth tens of thousands Of dollars to
the community's business. With the
gift of land and buildings at Blue
thenthal for a college plant already in
hand voters registered for the special
election tomorrow ought to cast their
ballots for the school if only for self
ish reasons.
These two years of training the col
lege would offer above high school
will be invaluable. According to re-
cent exhaustive studies they are found
the most important. A survey by the
American Association of Junior Col
leges on a nationwide basis, just prior
to the dislocation of normal occupa-
tional and educational conditions re-
sulting from the war, shows that three
quarters of the young people who en-
ter the more than six hundred junior
colleges of the country do not continue
their formal education beyond junior
college. Similar though less exhaust
i've studies in the senior colleges and
universities have also shown that a
large proportion of the entering fresh.
men in these institutions do not con-
tinue beyond the sophomore year.
The junior colleges and the senior
colleges and universities increasingly
are recognizing their obligation and are
endeavoring to cooperate more effec-
lively in the common educational task
of giving the best possible general edu-
cation to young people of both sexes
before the majority of them enter the
industrial, the commercial, the civic,
and the home life of the nation, under
normal conditions at about twenty or
twenty-one years of age.
Southeastern North Carolina should
not longer prevent the young people
of its population from securing the
educational advantages available at a
junior college in their midst. Let the
voters of this city and county tomor-
row see to it that these ADVANTAGES
are offered at home.

blood from steak from a steer
fed on grasses and grain from
soils devoid of protein building
minerals and iron. All this
leads one to understand the
Importance of soil conserva-
ton, not only in my commun-
ity. Thus we can readily see
that deficient soils produce de-
ficient men.
My community is definitely a
farming community. AS such,
everyone is or should be vitality
interested in soil conservation.
There are many problems to be
solved and we should all work
together, shoulder to shoulder
with the farmer, to solve these
problems of erosion and soil
exhaustion. We have in our
community a vast number of
responsible farmers who work
constantly toward soil conser-
walton by land leveling, crop
rotation, fertilization, irrigation,
drainage and shelter betting.
They take great pride in the
development and improvement
of their farms. But there are
some who are quite shiftless
and irresponsible, and as a
consequence, their land goes
from sheet erosion to rill euo-
sion and gully erosion or waste
land thus endangering the
farm of his neighbor. Therefore
I feel that soil conservation in
such cases should be compul-
sorry because it is of such vast
Importance in building a fertile
farming community.
DR.. Hugh Hammond Ben
nett, chief of the U. S. Soil
Conservation service has de-
clared, 1.-THE plain truth is that
Americans, as a people, have
never learned to love the land
and regard it as an enduring
resource. They have seen it
only as a field for exploitation
and a source of immediate fl
nancial return.
Yes, no matter what Our &C.
cupation or mine may be, we
must not forget that man is
utterly dependent upon the
soil. His body is derived from
the soil and goes back to the
soil when he lays it down in
death, and during the span of
his life the soil sustains it. Soil
conservation, therefore, in my
community as we'll as the
world over is vastly important
for what greater responsibility
does man have than conserva-
ton of that which sustains life
itself.

endurance and longer lives

The same thing applies to
humans. We can plant seed of
the highest quality, but it will
be of no avail if that seed can
not find the necessary stuff in
the soil with which it can
flourish. In other words, Pop
