Sands said, "the farmer never
loses. His national income
amounts to some $4,000, 900, 900
annually. He is enjoying greater
profits than wholesalers, re-
tailers and all other agencies
concerned with production and
distribution of foods"
He said the programs were un-
fair because they legislated "for
one group-in this case the farm
ers-at the expense of Others"
Benti said uncontrolled infla-
ton" has impaired the nations
standard of living"
We have waited long enough
for businessmen to heed the call
for voluntary restraint" he said.
There is only one effective way
to control initiation: The govern
ment must control prices and ra-
ton. scarce commodities"
Subcommittee members asked
Benti whether he believed it
would be possible to control black
market operations and whether
if rationing and price controls
were restored, it wouldn't also
be necessary to control wages,
profits and other factors in the
price structure.
Benti said he believed the black
market could be controlled. He
said price control and rationing
would be sufficient to halt infla-
ton without enactment of legis-
lation controlling wages and pro-
fits.
One housewife, who frankly
admitted she was unable to deter
mine the principle factors causing
rising prices said:
"All I know is that a dollar
used to get me pretty fair bas-
ket of groceries. Now it gets me

Providence was selected as the

from Hatteras to Manteo, Main

guard at Elizabeth City high

Burnsville, Fayetteville Road in
Raleigh, the North Carolina
State College experimental
farm, Salem College, tobacco
warehouses at Wilson, the mills
at Cramerton, and Lake Lure,
formed by a dam across the
Broad river.
Richest Asset
The Piedmont is described as
North Cardinals richest asset.
Noting that the tobacco fac
tories and cotton mills of this
area pushed their value up to
the two billion dollar mark last
year, Daniels adds: ''In its
banks it has enough home re-
sources to rebuild it's entire pre-
sent industrial plant without
any outside help"
Among its tobacco towns
Winston-Salem is recommended
to Holiday readers as "the best
place to see cigarettes pouring
from machines in huge brick
buildings which almost make it
tobacco's capital"
Citing the absence of any
dominating city on the North
Carolina scene, Daniels points
out that its industrialization has
developed town clusters like
that of Raleigh-D Durham Chapel
Hill.
He continues: "Within Is
miles of each other, these towns
contain the capital of the State,
in Durham some of the most
important manufacturing, the
States three biggest colleges,
the leading medical center OF
the south at Duke University,
with another like it authorized
for the University of North Car
olina at Chape1Hill The library
facilities in the three towns are
probably unsurpassed in the
south. In music, the theeter,
and sports, they possess the ad-
vantages of much larger
cities"
Rich In Game
Eastern North Carolina, tn e
States third portion, is rich in
fish and game as well as his
tory, says Holiday in it's review.
"It happens to be place
where more history happened
among fewer people than at any
other point on the Atlantic
coast" says Daniels.
In a list of historic "firsts"
which took place in this region
the magazine includes the birth
in 1887 of Virginia Dare, first
child of English parents born in
America, and the first airplane
flight by the Wright brothers in
1903.
Continuing it's roundup Of tfie
States coast attractions, the
magazine refers its readers to
New Bern, where North Caro-
lima ladies are planning the re-
stroation of a governore
palace; Tarboro Common.
where the town green is with
out equal anywhere outside Of
New England; and the famous
nautical reference points at
Cape Hatteras, Cape Fear, and
