Ladies First" Is Ru e
When You Introduce
Friends or Relatives

(Q) Dear Nancy: I have a
problem that has confused me
several times. How should you
introduce a friend to your mo-
Their? Should you present the
person to your mother, or vice
versa?"
(A) Mother, this is Bob Jo-
mes Cor Mary Smith"( is the best
form. Although it's not neces-
sary, you might add Mary, this
is my mother, Mrs. Doe" Should
both parents be there introduce
them to your mother first then
your father. And if you bring
more than one friend to meet
them the girls are presented
first then the boys.
90 Dear Nancy: Some time
ago l broke up with a fellow.
But the girl he began dating
steadily broke up with him
about a month ago and since
then we've been back togeth-
er again. However he told me
he can't forget her and that
he thinks of her often. He
wants to continue dating me
though and since l care for
him l want it that way too.
But on the other hand my
pride is involved and I'd like
to know whether l should date
him knowing that he still likes
her or try to ignore the fact?"
(A) A month isn't a very long
time and it's not unusual to re-
member a steady friend that
long. 1t could be because she
did the breaking up and as yet
he might not have forgiven or
forgotten. In time it's possible

Watch Over
Slain Master

Wadesboro, Sept. Is -(AP)-
How an aged hound dog kept a
lonely 3O-hour vigil over the

leading searchers to the spot Of
the killing, was told today,
The story of the dogs faithful

related by Sheriff Ben M, Riv-
ers.
The State Bureau of Investi-
cation today joined Rivers in
seeking the person or persons
who shot Began down with two
blasts from a shotgun Sunday.
Rivers said they knew the
motive. He said he was firmly
convinced that "moonshiners
we're the Killers He said Bog
gan had wandered into the
woods, looking for whiskey stills
after saying he was opposed to
"moonshining operations on his
land"
When a searching party look

tracted by the whimper of
dog. The followed the sound to
the body.
II believe he would have stay
ed there until he starved to

Let me congratulate the town
of Roanoke Rapids in the pro
gress it has made in recent
years. Nothing could happen to
community such as yours

will cooperate with you see
no reason why it should not be
a success for both you and the
community.
The Inauguration Of a d;ily
newspaper service Will do
something for your city in the
way of progress, and Develop
ment that would otherwise be
impossible.
Wishing you much success

And TOO many traffic acct
dents by teen-age drivers ave
giving our younger drivers
black eye, according to S. L.

the Highway Safety Division,
Department of Motor Vehicles.
Our youngsters throughout
the country are having more
than their share of traffic acct

about five per cent of all drivers
are in the teen-age group. But
for the country as a whole, they
have eight per cent or more of
all the accidents. And based on
miles driven. they have the
highest accident rate of any
group.

these in North Carolina. They
seem to have more telephones
and less electricity but, he said,
every farm he visited had a
wireless (raido)
( Many of them he said, still
like a horse better than trac-
tor.
Shackleford said the war has
caused the Eng ish farmer to
convert many pastures into
cropland and small grains such
as wheat oats and barley,
grown on this converted soil is
bountiful in yield because of
the fertility from livestock for
hundreds of years
He said that wheat, for ex-
ample, averaged between so and
95 bushels per acre, and pota-
toes from to IA tons per acre.
This compares with U. S. Ma
tional average of II to Is bush
els of wheat per acre and of
about IL tons Of potatoes per
acre.
n. G. Weather Better
He said the North Carolina
farmer seems to have better
crop weather than the British.
He did not see as many. run
down farm houses among the
poorer farmers of England as
he's seen in his own state but
he was amazed at the number
OF homes which still hang meat
in the farm house and cook over
the open fireplace with a rod
to swing the pot around.
He found English farmers
have many wrong ideas about
American farmers which he
blamed on the movies, especial
ly the idea that every American
farm wife has a deluxe kitchen
and every farmer can buy
new automobile any old time.
So he is going to enjoy telling
the folks back home about the
British farming as he saw it
and he will start with little
talk" in Goldsboro, N. c., Tues
day night. He knows they'll
raise their eyebrows over the
English habit of stopping for
tea in the field three times a
day in addition to regular meals.
But he thinks they'll be inter-
ested in the fact that the more
he sees and studies farming
Che is an agricultural student at
State College, Raleigh the high
er regard he has for it. He used
to say he'd never be a farmer
but through All projects he
made enough money to send
himself to high school and for
year of college.
He's beginning to think farm
ing is one of the best jobs.

90 Dear Nancy: When l
went out with boy last
spring we always had a Won
derful time on dates. We Of
ten used to double or triple
date with his friends and ev-
eryone got along very well.
But we stopped going out and
I met someone new. This fell
low and l have absolutely no
thing in common and I've ne
yer had the fun on dates that
I used to have. The first boy
has asked me out again and l
want to accept. Would it be
fair to the boy I'm dating?
What should l do?"
CAY There's no point in going
out with a boy when you don't
really want to. If you don't en-
joy datees with him it's wiser to
break them off instead of making
it hard for both of you. It's not
fair to you or the boy you're
going with if you just suffer"
through an evening with him. In
the long run everyone will be
happier if you tactfully stop see
ing him and begin spending your
time with someone you'd rather
date.
If you have a problem at
school or at home write Miss
Mottram for her help.

Reports British
&on't Repay
Marshall Funds

Washington, Sept. Is ZAP
"A young North Carolina tobac-
CO farmer says that British
farmers frankly told him that
funds the United States is fur
.nishing under the Marshall
sFPlan will never be paid back.
William Shackelford, of Wayne
County, N. c., made his report
to the U. S. Department OF Agri-
culture Extension Service after
trip to British farms. He and
Russell G. Mawby. of Grand
Rapids, Mich, were the first of
II All Club members whose
farming records gave them a
trip abroad on a plan of eX-
change with the Young Farmers
Federation of England. They
left early in June and landed in
New York Sunday. British farm
'ers are expected to come over
here next year.
= The British farmers, he said,
talk about the Marshall Plan a
lot, They say it's a wonderful
help in getting established but
they come right out and say
they can't keep enough that they
raise for themselves, They feel
Nike they're exporting every
,hing. They wonder if govern
ment control will nationalize
farming.
They can't quite understand
why they should be required to
sell all the milk and keep only
a pig or two.
Shakelford said they ask
themselves if the American aid
to Europe is creating a scarcity
for the British farmers as far
as exporting is concerned.
- Shackleford told a reporter
that he was something OF Gu
riosity in England because am
a Tobacco farmer and cigarettes
are so difficult to get over
there"
Often, he said, 81 saw Is or
20 tobacco plants on a farm
where the farmer thought he
could make cigarettes without
curing the plants. Almost every
farmer who has been able to
get some seed has a few tJkac-
co plants growing. They are
anxious to know how it may be
raised.
Women Smoke More
mo wonder they want to plant
tobacco, he added, "since
cigarettes are selling for 70
tents a package and the Eng
'lish, especially the women,
seem to smoke more than Amer
leans even at today's high
prices. They stand in long lines
for their cigarettes or pay high
er prices TO get them under the
counter.
- For the most part Shackelford
found British farms, farmhomes
and farm incomes much like

shouldn't the Herald change too?
remember once when l was
in the presence of the late Mr..
Tucker Stainback, the former
publisher of the Herald, when it
first started out. He was asked
why he didn't turn it into a
daily paper. He answered that
he would never do that. Ee
wouldn't work at it as daily
for 500 a day. But, think that
if Mr.. Stainback could be here
now and see the wonderful job
that the people turning out the
new daily Herald are doing; l
believe he would change his
mind"

MODIFY Stains present and
former agents in these areas
Tito in Yugo-, Togliatti in Italy
Gomulka in Poland recognize
these differences, and have tried
to modify classic Communism
so as to fit local conditions.
They have also tried to temper
Stalin's demands so that they
would not antagonize a class OF
small, proud, land-holding pea
SAINTS. But these attempts have
cost than their standing at the
Kremlin.
Despite these chinks in the
Red armor, Allied generals
simos have made no move to
capitalize on them by direct

NATIONALISM

NATIONALISM The drive of
patriotism or economic national
ism, based on economic, geogra-
phical and cultural differences
from the Russian program of
complete state control, is held
responsible for the recent anti
Communist movements in Yugo-
slavia, Poland and the Ukraine.
The mountainous farms of
the Balkans, for instance, can
not be operated in the same way
as the collectively organized
plains of Russia. To less degree
this is true in Poland, parts of
the Ukraine and other iron
curtain" countries. No more
could a small rocky tract in
New England be farmed like
the vast acres of Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska.
