A GOOD RECORD

It was with regret that we

find as good man to succeed
him.
Barlow was not one to seek
glory for himself while serving
the community and although he
did not herald his accomplish

on his service in Tabor City.

AT HOME ON
THE FARM
With
The City Cousin

With nearly everyone suffer-
ing from a mild "cost-of-living
nerves." it is encouraging to see
so many people coming to the
defense of the farmer.
L. c. Laney, assistant Meek
lenburg County farm agent for
the State College Agricultural
Extension Service, was tellin'
me last week:
"Lots of people have been lay
ing the responsibility for present
high prices on the farmer. But
he is being pinched just as much
as anyone else" Then he went
on to explain.
Dairy feeds, he said, jumped
SIT ton in a recent five-weeks
period, but milk prices held their
own. Laying mash, essential for
egg production, is up $40 a ton.
Due to the world shortage of
grain, wreat and oats are up SIS
a ton, and soybean meal up to
$2l.50.
In this respect, farmers who
produce such commodities as
meat, poultry products, and
milk, are also consumers, for
they often rely heavily on the
selling market for their chicken
and livestock feeds. They must
pay farm labor bills, too, Agent
Laney reasoned, and this cost
has increased three-fold since
before the war.
| According to figures released
in June, prices that farmers have

and plnching sacrifice. For every
man serving at the front was a
woman serving at home IN sup
port Of his endeayor.
After the war had been won
and the men of the armed forces
had banded together in the Am,
erican Legion to carry FORWARD
their service to country in the
DAYS of peace, it was only nat
ural that the women OF their
families should desire to con-
tinue serving with them. me
result of this desire is the Am

largest and most influential or

stepped out of their chauffeured car and
headed toward the glittering theater lobby
with a certain amount of aplomb.

and broke through the lines in mad dash to
demonstrate its affection Before the cops
could intervene, Gene had been rather badly

Howard Tierney is an executive for large

but even his own. Nothing irrtates him more.

HE Tierneys are a close-knit family and
Gene is fercely loyal to them. Most movie
stars keep family in the background 1t has
to be so, not only for glamour's sake, but also
if the star is to have any private life at all.
Gene however, has managed to involve her
family, one way or another, in all the tangled
affairs of Hollywood star.

AS press agent, Mrs. Tierney is not as

She cannot see why one daughter, even
though movie star, should be more impor

Tierneys.
The family was quite wealthy before the
depression. When the crash came, they sold
their large home in Connecticut and moved
into the coach house, which they have since
enlarged as their affairs have improved.
Anyone soon finds out the Tierneys are
chatty folks, and the family relationship
is a free and easy one. Howard, by general

keep them from looking standard
and it is done with amazing skill by
pulling each nights dialogue out OF
the day's-end headlines.
Candidate Matthews is everlast-
ingly on top of the news, and so, OF
course, are his wife, the lady of his
peccadillos, and all the others. It
is like being under his bed-only
more con1fortable-when Matthews
speaks of tax programs designed to
make the rich richer, Big Labor's
responsibilities, union control by
union members, and the blindly
foolish political chicanery which
divides class against class in a
democracy.
1t is an intimacy far beyond the
normal illusory power of the theater

a movie, it is dramatic quality
that should keep state of the

politics become sane and democracy
