Veterans Receive
Insurance Checks

Payment of the second special
dividend on National Service Life
Insurance ploicies has passed the
halfway mark, Veterans Admin
istration said. with more than
100000 checks mailed to eligi-
BILE policy holders, out of an esti-
mated total of slightly over g.
100000.
The total amount payable in
| the second dividend is estimated
at approximately S6S5,O00,00O.
The checks already mailed total
Slightly more than S300,00O,0O0
With the dividend checks going
out approximately on schedule
VA predicts that the last checks
will go into the mails by April,
1852. This would mean the pay
ments would cover a period of
one year, as originally planned.
The dividend is payable to vet
Grams who had National Service
Life Insurance policies in force
with premium payments for
three months ore longer between
the anniversary date in 1913 and
the corresponding date in 1850
It is not necessary for veterans
to make application for the divid-
ends.
Where veterans held more than
one policy during the three-year
period, VA cautioned, dividend
payments will be made separate
ly on each policy, usually on diff
ferent oates. When a NSLI policy
expired during the period an6
was renewed, the veteran would
thus receive two checks, if prem
iums were paid for three months
or more on each policy.
If veterans have changed their
addresses, VA said, the dividend
check will be forwarded under
instructions of the Treasury De
partment to the Post Office De-
partment, provided the veteran
has left his new address with his
former Post Office.

The Columbus County Farm
Bureau Monday launched its ann
nua membership campaign ana
announced acceptance Of a 2,7OO
quota.
Directors in each of the various
communities in the county Will
head the drive.
Joe P. Quinerly is general chair
man and has asked that soil
citors make their contacts with
members as early as possible so
that the major part of the mem
bership campaign may be COM
pleted by November 1.
Membership this year IS 81
but an additional so cents is kept
in the county treasury to carry
on the work of the organization
on the local level.
The campaign is little later
than the campaigns in several
counties. many of which have
been completed. However, leaders
of the Farm Bureau expressed
confidence that the response
would be highly satisfactory and
that the drive could be completed
early next month.
Plans for the membership roll
call were made Friday night
when community leaders of Farm
Bureau gathered to hear R. Flake
Shaw, veteran Farm Bureau
spokesman. and Carl T. Hicks.
president of the Flue-Cured To-
bacco Sterilization Corporation.
Shaw said other groups think
farmers are rolling in riches and
warned that tillers of the soil
face a big task in holding the
modest gains.
"We are working against ire
mendous odds in Congress" he
said in reference to farm legisla-
ton.
In connection with the 81 men,
bership fee. Shaw said the aver
age in the country was SO and
that only two states-Alabama
and Georgia-have dues as low
as North Carolina.
Hicks declared that "our tobac-
co program is the result of farm
ers getting together in an effort
to keep and improve it" and as
serted that without the F. c..
Sterilization Corporation. no one
could hope to get present prices
for tobacco.
He said the flue-cured tobacco
picture is about as bright as any
one could ask for and credited
Farm Bureau with providing the
leadership in the program.
The speaker asserted that it
was to the interest of every to-
bacco grower and farmer of any
kind to keep his membership in
Farm Bureau and to foster the
growth of the organization, which
he said. has helped to fight for a
decent farm income.

In 1857 Horace Greeley arranged

has been eaten, especially when

T axe My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

most often rhymes with "hour
sour" This is a quite natural and
logical pronunciation based on
analogy with such words as flour,
hour, our, scour, SOUR, etc.
A friend of mine, who is inclined
to be too much of purist in mat
ters of pronunciation, chides me
thus: "Dour to rhyme with sour?
Oh, no! No Scotsman would even
consent to that illiterate pronuncia-
tion."
Well. perhaps not. But this is
America, not Scotland, and Ameri-
can speech is not influenced by
Scottish, or even British, usage.
My friend errs seriously in stat
ing that dour to rhyme with sou1
is illiterate. Dour to rhyme with
sour is now sanctioned by the newest
editions of our best dictionaries
Webster's New Collegiate d949), the
American College Dictionary (1949)
Kenyon g. Knott's Pronouncing
Dictionary (1944), Words: The New
Dictionary (1949).

only pronunciation listed by Burgess
Johnson's splendid Rhyming Die
tionary. And, I may add modestly,
dour to rhyme with sour is the
pronunciation recommended by my
own dictionary.
If you prefer to rhyme dour with
sour, do SO by all means, and do
not allow any one to accuse you of
using an improper or ignorant
pronunciation. On the other hand
if you prefer to rhyme dour with
boor, do so by all means. It Is
simply matter of choice.

Sorghum Grain.

Sorghum, the companion Of buck.

lieved to have originated in Africa
During the centuries 1t became
highly appreciated In Assyria. Or
the walls of the palace built ir
TOO BE-, the home of King Sen
nacherib Of Nineveh, there was
carved a f1ourishing ripe field o1
grain sorghum in which several fat
hogs reveled.
John H. Martin, one of Americas
leading authorities on this plan
said, "A MOSAIC was found in 1915
in the ruins Of a palace In Tmgad
North Africa, showing a man re-
clining on couch grasping large
head of grain sorghum that woule
take first prize at any county faiI
today"
Sorghum has been. called the
camel Of the plant world. It can
withstand hot weather and droughts
that wipe out other crops. Sorghum
has developed many roots that
capably absorb water and the mar
row leaves are wax-coated. These
absorb water to the limit, but the
waxy surface prevents rapid evap-
grafton.
Some Is million acres are planted
to sorghum in Texas, Kansas, Okla
homa, Colorado, Nebraska, New
Mexico and South Dakota.
In general we find that SORGHUM
is thought of as falling into two
classes: Grain-producing sorghum,
usually called sorgo, or sweet sor-
ghum or grain sorghum. Sorghum
seeds are believed to have been
brought to this country by slave
ships from Africa. The two varie-
ties introduced at that time were
known as Guinea kafir and chicken
corn. Sorghum flourished over the
South, chicken corn reverted to a
mere weed.

HATES TO PROSECUTE

The Attorney Generals human re- actions are the best. He likes people They like him. He hates to prose- cute. That may be why his Justice Department has frittered around fol almost a year regarding prosecu- tion of certain witnesses referred to it by the Senate after they gave perjured testimony in the Anna Rosenberg and the Maryland elec- ton cases.
 Though the Senate went to some pains to refer these cases to jus- tice, the Attorney General has not acted and probably will not act He just has too many friends.
 Tip-off to McGrath's friendly character is his own record as a joiner. Not since the days of "Pud- dler Jim" Davis, Secretary of Labor under Calvin Coolidge, has there been such notable joiner in the cabinet.
 Here is Towards record of good fellowship; Elk, Eagle, Ancient Or der of Hibernians, Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, the Grange, Knights of Columbus, Patrons of Husbandry Independent Order of Foresters, Xii wanis, Irish Historical Society, Rhode Island Historical Society, New England Association of Chiefs of Police, National Association of Insurance Agents, Royal Arcanum.
 So you really can't blame Howard McGrath. He was never cast for the role of Attorney General-a role where friendships must play second fiddle to prosecutions.

Attorney General took a definite stand against deporting gambling King Frankie Costello when fraud was discovered in his natur- alization papers.
 McGrath has other varied activi- ties which tend to give him a firm root in the rocky soil of New Eng land business and make him-next tp Wall Street Banker Bob Lovett, Mhe Secretary of Defense-the veal thiest member of the cabinet
 For instance, Howard has a pros- porous Chrysler-Flymouth automo- bile agency and has been consider ate enough to put his auto partner, G.

NOTABLE RELIGIOUS PROGRESS

The recent formation of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. s. A., has been hailed as the most important religious event since the Reformation of the 1500s in Europe. One may disagree with this appraisal but nevertheless recog nize that the cooperation of twenty-five Protestant and four Eastern Orthodox denominations, with near ly 32OO0OOO members, means something in the re- ligious world.
 Bishop Henry Knox Sherr, of the Episcopal Church think that the organization will give voice to those represented in the council He feels that the church should speak out in the modern world
 Those promoting the Council feel that 1t gives unified voice and collective prestige to a majority segment of American religious adherents Neverthe- less Dr. Samuel McCrea Cavert, the top administra- tive officer points that "the basic thing IS where it has always been-in the heart of the individual
 Encouraging statistics about religious progress ln this country are given by Dr. Harry s. Myers, Sec
