THE FIELD OF THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER.

great many weekly editors endeavoring to keep up
with the times attempt to handle stories of national and
ternatona news Such newspapers not interesting and
the editor is missing his chance to get interesting
paper when he ignores the thousand and items of
man interest concerning his folks at home which lie
every hand.
National and world doings have been exploited to the
fullest radio and eevsion and in daily newspapers long
before the weekly off the press The local editor has
nothing he add Unless there unexpected
angle which has to do with local conditions he had best
save the space for something close home.
The things close home important to lot of people,
The at home considers himself important the

has friends well others who may be interested
him and in what he does.
The weekly newspaper has field all its own and the
proof that it has field that through all the changes

they WELD influence than do daily papers, and they
serve need of society that is served through other

TEST FOR HIGHWAY PATROL
Jews & Observer)

A&NS"S N OOoCLNCLJ
The accident Saturday resulting
in the death of one person and the
serious injury of another presents
real test for the State Highway
Patrol.
Published reports of the acct
dent indicate that the accident was
due to the careless and reckless
driving of a Highway Patrolman.
This case should be handled in the
same way as one involving civil
ian. If there is to be any differ
ence in treatment that difference
should represent a higher stand
ard for the officer than would be
set for a civilian.
Ordinarily an arrest would have
followed such an accident mined
lately and automatically. In the
case of the patrolman, a further
investigation was ordered. There
seems to be little to investigate.
The fact that the highway was
obscured by dust should have
prompted care on the part of
every drivel, including patrolmen.
The fact that the patrollnan was
on the way to answer a call does
n, furnish any excuse fof his pro-
ceeding in careless and reckless
manner.
The people of North Carolina in
their opposition to the "whammy''
bill and in their reaction to other
proposed legislation, have shown
that they want the traffic laws
enforced and that they are salts
fled, in general, with the way in
which those laws are being en-
forced.
But the people of this State
want the law enforced in the same

DEMAND FOR LEE
SOYBEANS HIGH

The Lee soybean has caused
quite a stir among soybean grow
ers since its release last spring,
according to Aston Perry, extern
sion agronomy specialist at State
College.
Perry says that because of it's
superiority in the many character
istics that make an outstanding
soybean variety, it has gained
popularity at a fantastic clip.
Farmers who have tried. 1t insist
that it is the best soybean ever
released in this state.
Experiment Station expert
ments and Extension Service DEM
onstrations over the state back
up this enthusiasm of the farmers.
In statewide demonstrations,
the average yield for the Lee soy
bean was 1876 bushels per acre,
while it's nearest competitor, Og-
den, averaged 29.1 bushels per
acre. Roanoke was a distant third
at 25.3 bushels per acre.
Perry claims that if it were
possible for North Cardinals 1855
soybean acreage of around 800,
600 acres to be planted with Lee
soybeans, it would result in an
added three million dollars for
Tar Heel soybean growers.

low can a man get by writing a
letter about our State Senator.
Concerning your State Park on
Deep Greek Lake, | don't think it
would bring much money to Gar
rctt county Only to a few public
cottage renters. This is in my
opinion is what you have in mind.
With the rent so high it would
drive more tourists away than you
could induce to come here by adj
vertising or building State Parks.
| have talked to many tourists
and they complain about the high
prices charged for rents and serv-
ices and have asked if there were
any cottages for reasonable rents,
as they were only laboring class of
people.
I don't think you and a few of
your class should dictate to the
taxpayers what would be the best
for the people along Deep Creek

Structive to work out a better plan
to induce people to come to the
