Objects TO NIr. OrayS views
To the Editor OF The Star:
Harold Gray in his comic strip Orphan
Annie" has gone too far with his not-subtle-
enough technique of influencing his youthful
readers with his own opinions on the Soviet
Union and labor.
It. Is interesting and significant to note that
no one up to now has protested Mr.. Gray's in
jections of personal bias. I am quite certain
that had he even implied the opposite view on
either subject, the reaction" would have been
immediate and vociferous

Did you ever 90 into a Ii
brary for the purpose of get
ting one certain book and sud
denly lind yourself lingering
in front of a shelf of books
for which you had no particu-
lar interest? That happened to
me in the Pascagoula City Ii
brary yesterday and the shelf
of books was on GARDENING.
Thumbing through Garden

mails Preferred" | recalled ear
" childhood memories Of our
garden whose spicy old-fash-
Toned pinks, early %peonies.
scented August lilies and dark
pungent chrySanthemums
marked the passing of seasons.
Although often less handsome,
these rerennials were more
sturdy and fragrant than many
flowers we grow today, but
still loved by children who
played store with Gamma seeds
and made crowns for their
heads with daisies.
Gardens not only afford us
a delightful occupation, but as
time passes our love for gar
dening proves a safeguard
against life. "A Garden For
YOU" and Gardens in Color
show us how we design in
happy years for outside living
and eating, also as backgrounds
for summer parties or settings
for family events such as we'd
dings or anniversary celebra-
tons.
But to all of us comes a
time when a garden may be-
come a fortress where we solve
serious problems or where we
face crisis and sorrow.
If yod are the specialist type
of gardener you may enjoy the
slim little volumes on "Vio-
let Culture" "Gladiolus,' "Aza-
leas and Camelias,," n d
What Every Rose Grower
Should Know" which is pre-
pared by the American Rose
Growers Society.
The amateur will likely
choose 10000 Questions An

complete guide to garden max

us realize that essentially it is
the doing in the garden rath-
er than the seeing which APP
peals to us all. II is the close
preoccupation with the time
less varieties OF seed and soil
which yields both peace and
delight.
Successful coping with pest
and disease seems to be a neces-
sary though completely unap-

But you can lessen the pain
considerably by consulting
Westcott's THE Plant Doctor"
which Is the how and why and
when of disease and insect con-

If these. volumes I've men,

PRICES WORRY u. S.
FIRST LADY, ALSO

Washington - Mrs. Truman is
worried about grocery prices,
along with millions of other
American women, President Tru-
man reported.
The President was asked if
Mrs. Truman had spoken to him
about the high cost of groceries.
Yes, he said, she has. She has
noticed the prices, he continued,
just as every other housewife
has.
A reporter opened the subject
by asking Mr.. Truman if he had
given any thought to grocery
costs.
The President replied that he
had done so only when he had
to pay his bill.
Asked if the high cost of food
for the White House table had
brought any new ideas from
Mrs. Truman on shopping, the
Chief Executive said she has al
ready had good shopping ideas.
But he did not specify what ideas
she had come up with.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach told his news
conference that industry should
recognize that wage increases
must follow price increases.

North CarOlinians To Vote
On Four More Amendments

Raleigh-When North Carolina
voters, go to the polls for the
next general election in No
vember, 1948, they will have a
chance to vote on four constltu-
tional amendments passed by the
1947 General Assembly.
The proposed amendments will
be:
l. Raise the salaries of members
and presiding officers Of the Gen
eral Assembly.
2. Change the provision for de-
termining the result of special
elections.
3. Remove the "debt limita-
ton" clause upon the State, coun-
ties, and municipalities for neces-
sary expense; and,
4. Increase the amount of total
State and county tax which may
be levied on property, by chang
ing the limitation on said tax
from Is cents on the 500 Valua-
ton to Is cents on the $500 valua-
ton"
One Of the amcrdmonts-to
raise legislators pay-Was voted
on by the people last November,
and failed by very slim margin
Most legislators felt the vote was
too close to let the matter die
SO it was revived in a bill by
Repres -ntatiVe Chamber (R) Of
Mcdowell and passed b o h
houses.
If the people vote in favor of
the amendment. salaries of mem
bers and presiding officers of the
General Assembly will be fixed
at $1,000 and $500 respectively
for regular sessions and at $3.50
and $500 respectively for special
sessions.
Members now get $500 a SEES
sion, presiding officers are paid

Feed Pastures
Now for More
Milk Profits

I've been thinking 50 much about
L pastures lately I'm beginning to
wonder if maybe I'm getting to the
age when I'm about due to be
turned out to pasture myself.
We've been talking about pas
lures for the past few months, with
the idea of planning for better pas
lures this year. And now that April's
here, we can stop planning and
start doing.
Any dairyman in the sections
which went through long, hot,
dry spell last summer doesn't
have to be reminded that some
good, supplementary, drought
resisting pastures would have
put money in his pocket in 1916.
And if you were in a more ia
vored, rainy section last sum-
mer, maybe you won't be so
lucky this year.
April is an excellent time to get
fertilizer on your native pasture, to
build more feedvaluelnit and to pro-
long its grazing life. Since fertilizer
is not at all plentiful, | hope you
won tWaSte any of your own supply.

One of the good points about pro-
duCing milk at less cost of production
is that it not only increases profits,
it frees more cash to help out a quail
ity program. And a quality program
insures against loss of milk, bringing
still more money to cuddle up to
