there's some unemployment in the
North.
So our government steps In with
a proposal to disregard the lower
prices in the South, and place its
contracts in the Ncfth, So that the
people in Massachusetts and else
where can get more employment.
The government doesn't seem to
care what this will do to employ
lment in the South nor how much
extra this would cost the taxpay-

So the South's Congressman and

GARDEN TIME
BY

There is an old saying to the ef
feet that when the dogwoods begin
to bloom It is time TO plant corn.
That time will soon be here and we
should have our seed on hand
ready to plant.
III the past, especially in eastern
North Carolina, most of the corn
planted for roasting ears has been
Of early field corn varieties, such
as fuckers Favorite and Early
Adams. In recent years there have
been many commercial paintings of
sweet corn in the State, and there
has been more sweet corn grown in
the home gardens.
Once you grow true sweet corn
vol will never 60 back to the field
com varieties. There is no compar-
isGIn in the quality Of the two types.
Sweet corn has a high sugar con-
tent and is very tender The OBJ
| jections to sweet corn have been
| that the ears are small and that
corn ear-w0rm damage is often
severe. There are now many var
lieties Of sweet corn with large ears
and the entomologists have devel-
| oped a fairly good control for the
ear-worm.
Many excellent hybrid varieties
Of sweet corn have been develop
| ed by the seed breeders. In order
| Of earliness some Of the best var
ieties are: North Star, Carmel
cross, Hoosier Gold, Seneca Chief,
Golden Cross Bantam, I0ana, Aris-
\ togold and Lincoln. For success
sion Of corn early and late varie-
| ties may be planted at the same
time, or a desired variety may be
planted at two week Intervals. It
| is best to plant two or three rows
Of variety at the same time in
order to insure proper pollination.
Sweet corn may be planted a Little
closer than field corn because it
usually makes smaller stalk
growth.
Sweet corn is of best quality if
used as soon as harvested. If it can
not be used Immediately, it should
be kept on ice or in the refrigera-
tor; otherwise it will lose large
part Of its sugar content in few
hours,
| Gardeners are already becoming
dahlia-conscious, probably because
the roots are now being extensive
ly advertised in the garden maga-
zines and newspapers and are also
being sold by seed stores and
chain stores.
| One of the most frequent ques-
tions being asked me is: When will
you plant your dahlias? ! usually
plant more than 200 roots, but !
never plant before May here at
| Raleigh.
My advice would be to plant dur
ing early May in the central and
| western portions Of the State and
about May rs to June ! in the ex-
/ treme eastern portion Of the State.
The dahlia is a fall flower and will
give you better blooms in the fall
J If it is not planted too early.

Tidelands Bill
Last week the Senate spent most
of its time on the so-called Tide
lands Bill. Finally, last Thursday
this matter was set aside until
Wednesday of this week, at which
time we are supposed to vote on
lit.
IN short, this matter concerns
| tie question Of whether submerg
ed coastal land shall be taken over
| by the federal government, o.
whether they shall continue under
the jurisdiction Of the individual
states.
The interest in the tidelands
lies in the oil involved, Senator
Lister Hill has introduced an q
mendment which would earmarl
the moEey from the oil for educa
tion. That Of course drew imme
diate support from educators wht
could visualize a happy financia
situation for the schools and col
leges.
Among other things, that brings
Iup the question Of further aid t
education from the federal govern
ment. But the basic Fundamental
involves the question Of whether
we want our national government
to move in further on what has al
ways previously been the authori
Ity and jurisdiction Of the indivi
dual states.
In other words, the rights of tht
individual states.

North Carolina does not per-

Mysterious Cure
Follows Accident

London, -LPp-A Man w o
often said I'D give my right
arm" to see his ailing daughter
cured lost the arm in car crash
and she was mysteriously heal
ed.
The odd case, with the names
withheld, was described by DR.. j.
M. II. Smellie of Liverpool in the
British Medical Journal.
DR.. Smellie said the girl was
crippled by arthritis and disfigur-
ed by a skin disease associated
with il. Her devoted father tried
all kinds of treatment but she
did not respond.
One day he set off on a motor
trip with the girl and his wife.
The car was wrecked and the
fathers right arm was torn off.
Before his wound had healed,
the daughters skin trouble and
arthritis had vanished.
DR.. Smellie offered two pos
sible explanations-the cure might
have been due to Psychological
factors or to cortisone liberated
from the girls adrenal glands by
the shock of the accident.

Don't Be Sentimental
When Hiring Disabled

NEW YORK--"When you hire
handicapped people, sentiment
won't work any more than it
would when you plan produc-
ton line"
That's Henry Viscardi talking
He was top personnel man be-
fore he became boss of the y. 0.
B." job office for New York Uni
versity-Bellevue Medical Center.
There he finds jobs for the dis
abled
During World War II, one firm
decided to hire blind people. So
if you were blind you could get
a job in that plant. That's absurd.
Suppose they had started to hire
all red-haired people, regardless
of other qualifications? They
could see that would be silly, but
they got sentimental about the
poor blind people who needed
jobs"
Viscardi is also a member of
the task force" which has re-
ported to the Office of Defense
Mobilization (ODM) on disabled
defense workers. That report tells
of unframed handicapped people
hired during the war. They often
had low production and most of
them lost their jobs after the war.
Rehabilitation was neglected.
Job Operations Simpiified
The report also goes into
changes of work of today. Jobs
have been broken down into
Operations. In some the worker
does not use his legs. In others
he does not have to see or hear
Today's employer can hire people
who might have been useless
years ago. But he should hire
them, says Viscardi, because he
expects them to do a full days
work and get full days pay.
To do SO, he must have trained
workers. But handicapped people
have special training problems
Community help is needed for
this.
The ODM report also touches
on the problems of hiring habits
Employers often rule out workers
because of "handicaps' which
would not be handicaps to doing
good work. Arbitrary hiring rules
based on age, physical "disabili-
ties" or any other fixed form are
wrong, it says. The same physi-
cal standards for a typist and a
warehouse man are absurd.
