Herald, indicate they are thor
oughly enjoying Florida. Mr.. Will
son reports he built and sold his
first house in a real-estate ven
ture. He is also doing some writ
ing his chief delight.
The Rev. w. R. Stevens was
a pleasant visitor in the office
Tuesday and was telling about
cat who it seems is real
Methodist.
During quarterly conference
re e n ly, Betty Ann, young
daughter of the Rev. and Mrs.
Stevens found yellow kitten at
her door one morning and SO
she took him in to mother as
her black kitten had disappear
ed.
When Willis, her brother, saw
it later, he remarked he looked
like the kitten he had seen in
down town Roanoke Rapids at
the Rev. ]. F. Herbert's tn e
Methodist pastor. He called the
Herberts and they said their cat
had been gone for sometime and
that Freddy, their son returned
from school he would be able to
tell for sure if the cat was theirs.
Sure enough he was the Her
bert's pet, and being the good
Methodist he was he went to the
Rosemary Methodist parsonage
when his owners had left for the
conference. Perhaps the little kit
ten had heard the song I'm

Friends of Julia Sykes of Jack
son will be interested in the fof-
lowing edited by Carl Goerch IN
the State Magazine. Among the
North Carolinians in New York
who have made good in big
way is Julia Sykes, head of Unit
ed World Travel Service, Inc |
She got quite a nice plug in
LOOK magazine recently.
Miss Sykes has built up a trav-
el service that is the most COM
plete of its kind in the world. !
When l dropped in to see her,
she was rushing around like a
chicken with its head cut off.
Was planning to leave the follow
ing day on trip to France (ex-
penses paid by the French gov
ernmenD and then on to Scan
dinavia and other points in Eur
ope.
But with all the excitement of
her work, and with all of her
travelling to far and distant
points, she enjoyes nothing more
than coming down to jackson
every five or six weeks on
visit to her folks.
An interesting comment we
heard recently was to this effect.
"We have heard it said more
than once that worry kills more
people than work. l believe the
medical authorities back up that
assertion. Anyhow, one of the
papers read may be on solid
ground when it adds to the
record: The reason worry kills
more people than work is that
more people worry than work"
From the New York papers we
learn that "storekeepers expect
this Christmas season to be the
biggest ever. but for the first !

have to be done to deliver finished
products to the customers, begin

the cooperation of employees. Such
cooperation can be expected on the
basis of fair days pay for fair
days work 1t also involves willing
ness on the part of employees to ac-
cept and use new tools and pro-
cesses. and to qualify for new diff
ferent jobs. 1t requires a clear UNI
derstanding of the rights and re-
sponsibilities of both management
and labor. 1t requires confidence OF
each party in the other.

Employee cooperation" Mr.. Wilson
observed, SIS most important and
the lack of it has been responsible
for the real shortages created by the
lack of production; the high cost

quired to save the peoples of Wes-

high cost of living resulting from
the shortages of all kinds of goods
and from the pressure on foor supply
created by our food exports; the inn
portance of maintaining and inn

cognized as being inflationary as
they create additional shortages"
Where Republicans Are AT
The record of the 80th Congress
furnishes the foundations for the
Republican platform. The Republic
cans claim all the credit for out
having wartime controls to aid
prices, wages and production to find
there own levels That's really very
| truthful statement. Nevertheless
prices, wages and production are
leveling off very fast, 1t is entirely
fair to compare the record of the
Congress with that of the White

taxes and restrictions placed upon
his automobile have pretty near
reached the sky limit. That explains
why millions of motorists are object
ing to high gasoline sales taxes at
the service stations.
All other matters laid aside. the
fact remain that the steady increase
in the volume of traffic has piled
up accidents on the highways at
a terrific rate. That has increased
the necessity of more roads and
highways to lower traffic congestion.
1t is fact that the cost of build
ing highways in 1910 was $4,000
mile while in 1948 the cost has risen
to $4,000 a mile.
To And From The Form
The postwar increase in the farm
population of the United States
slowed down during l947. The num-
Der of people living on farms in
January 1948 was 27,440,0O0, not ap-
preciably different from the number
a year earlier . Net migration of
civilians from farms to nonfarm
places amounted to $4,000 in l947
:. Nearly million persons are
estimated to have moved on to farms
from cities, towns, and villages dur
ing the year, whereas more than a
million and half moved away from
farms.
Electrifying The Forms
Operators of rural power systems
financed by the Rural Identification
Administration purchased at whole
sale the unprecedented total of
1882, 267,051 kilowatt-hours of cleo
trio energy during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1947, the Department
of Agriculture announced. This re-
cord breaking amount of energy
cost $26,909545 or an average of 81
mills per kilowatt-hours.
King Cotton
The Department of Agriculture
announces that the cotton export
program is being continued. The
current export subsidy rate of 10
cents per bale also will remain in eff
feet with respect to notices of sale
received by the New Orleans office
of PIMA after June 80, 1913.
More Money For Taxes
Than For Food
Do you remember old boy and
girl, when Thomas B. Reed, Speaker
of the House of Representatives,
long years ago declared that the rea-
son why the 5lst Congress appro-
priated a billion dollars for the first
time was because "the United States
has become a billion dollar coun-

Weekly Letter
Wostino Time With Russia

Washington, d. c., July-The
United Nations was founded to re-
store peace to the World and out
law war, forever.
Russia was one of the charter
members in framing all the plans
and in organizing the United
Nations.
This Letter challenges any body
and everybody to point out a sim
gle important instance in which
the Russian government has lived
up to the principles of the United
Nation-from the start at Dunbar
ton Oaks in Washington up to the
present time.
None of us have any faith in Rus
STA. From the beginning they have
been waging a cold war" against
the Nations with whom they as
Sociated.
The United States has goine far
beyond its responsibilities and piled
up our liabilities-a condition which
all leads to war-everything but the
shooting.
We ask you: Why doesn't the
United Nations expel Communist
Russia from membership in its or
ganization?
Evidently the United Nations
likes the location on the East River,
New York Ciy. There has been a
good deal of talk in Washington
over the failure of Congress to ap-
prove the sos, 100000 loan to be used
for new housing for the great peace
organization.

are awfully hot under the collar
and they 60 out on the limb to say
that the United Naions have been

The cost of Government this fis-
cal year, despite miles of speeches
advocating so-called reduction Of
the cost of Government" is forty
times the simple billion dollars that
Thomas B. Reed explained in Con-
greSs.
An Illinois Congressman produced
figures in speech the other day
showing that President Humans
budget of $39-billion dollars is tax
ing more out of the pockets of the
people for taxes than they spend
for food. Representative Vursell
passed the buck to Truman at the
same time the President laid all the
ills and evils of extravaganza on the
Republican Congress.
Well, my reader the cause of
all this waste of public money is
traceable to just one word-that
word is WAR. If we ever have sense
enough to sidetrack WAR the peo-
pie of this country will enjoy living
on easy street, without robbing their
savings to get enough money to buy
food and clothes.
Cause And Effect
The security, prosperity and well
being of Americans Importantly de-
pend on the efficient production OF
American industry. There are three
essentials of such efficient produc'
ton, and c. E. Wilson, president OF
General Motors names them in the
following order:

House, even though that would be
tough on Mr.. Truman. The Presi-
dent has vetoed a very large num-
Der of Republican laws, and the De-
nocrats helped the Republicans to
override his vetoes. 1t is fair to COM
pare the rule of the Nation by the
President with that of the second
largest and next important govern
ment which is the State of New
York at the head of which is Cover
nor Dewey. In short. at this stage
of the game the Republicans hold
all the big cards-and Washing
tonians believe Dewey will win with
a landslide.
