Who Is To B|ame?......sypA BY PAT muLlleAn

EDITORS NOTE: Pat MvIlisan, 18yesr-oId vale

Dayton this fall.
In New York. two boys killed man they
had never seen before by knocking him down,
kicking him, and finally jumping on his head
Their explanation of this senseless act was
that they had been drinking beer
In Chevy Chase, Maryland, group of
boys from well-to-do families secretly manu-
factured bombs and tossed them through
windows of homes as they wandered along
the streets at night.
In San Francisco, six boys crashed party
at the home of high school girl, demanded
food and liquor, and beat up the girls father
so severely that he was hospitalized.
At the present time in the United States
there is murder every Al minutes, rape
every 80 minutes robbery every minutes
and auto theft every 2 seconds.
Fifty-one per cent of the auto thefts are
committed by youths under Fl years of age.
Maybe you will be more surprised when |
tell you that one out of eighteen youths in
the United States today is juvenile delin-
quent. Shocking, isn't it? But these are the
actual facts.
The United States today is spending more
millions of dollars on more agencies to pre-
vent Juvenile delinquency than was ever
spent before in the history of the world, yet
teen-age crime rate has gone up 45 per cent
in the last five years. There is an unpre-
cedented total of 100000 youths who came
into conflict with authorities last year. Many
experts in the field predict that the total will
mount to more than 100000 annually by
1860, unless drastic action is taken.
One of the great handicaps in the fight
against juvenile delinquency is the popular
belief that the problem today is the same
as it was when grandfather was boy
In those days, when referring to juvenile
delinquent, person had in mind child who
perhaps was disrespectful to his parents, re-

Cotton Growers
Told Of Penalties

Lincoln county cotton growers
re given this reminder in an ar
ticle in the Lincoln county ASC
office Newsletter in relating to
penalties if they exceed their quo
Gas:
The Cotton Marketing Quota
Referendums held last December
resulted in favorable votes of 80
percent for upland cotton and 90 8
percent for extra long staple.
therefore marketing quotas will
continue in effect for the 1855 cot
ton crops.
Growers who have cotton acres
in excess of their farm acreage
allotments will be assessed a pen
atty for each pound of excess cot
ton.
Those growers who have cotton
acres in excess of their farm acre
age allotment will be ineligible for
price support.
"The exact level of price sup
port has not vet been announced,
but Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son in December announced that
the then-current information on
supplies indicated continuation of
price support at 90 percent of par
ity for the 1865 crop Of upland
cotton. Under the law. the support
may range from 82-1i2 to 80 per-
cent of parity. depending upon the

WASHINGTON. D. c. - Dur
ing the past week. President
Eisenhower made the recommend
alton that the Congress authorize
him Ito employ the Armed Forces
Of the United States as he deems
necessary for the specific purpose
of securing and protecting For
moSa . against armed attack"
at the hands of the Chinese Com
muniStS. While this recommend
alton has aroused much anxiety
throughout the United States. it
does not represent any drastic
change in the policy which our
country has pursued in respect
to FormoSa since June. 1850. when
the Korean war began and the
Seventh Fleet was ordered to de-
fend Formosa from possible in
vaSion from the mainland of
China. 1t merely gives the Chinese
Communists express warning that
the United States will assist the

to defend FormoSa in the event
they attempt TO take FormoSa

UNITY ON FOREIGN POLICY

The spirit in which the House
responded to the Presidents mes
sage was heartening. The resolu-
ton came out of the House For
eign Affairs Committee with a
unanimous "ote of approval and
members from both sides of the
aisle took the floor, in a display of
biPartisanship in its finest form.
TO demonstrate spirit of unity
where foreign policy is concerned
which must have been most i'm
preSSive at home and abroad.
I quote again t he statement
made by Mr. Rayburn on the oc-
casion of his recent election as
Speaker, when he said: "We are
all in this thing together, whether
we be Republican. Democrat. or
What-not.' This statement i'm
pressed me because it is so like
many statements I made myself in
the course Of the campaign. and
that was that politics should end
at our shorel:ne and on interna-
tional affairs we should present a
solid front. 7 further stated that
the world situation is so grave and
the problems so acute that it is 60
ing to take the combined intell-
gence of all OF our leaders-Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike - to
solve them. I still feel that way.

COMMITTEE MEETING

On Monday l attended the first
meeting of the Committee on Gov
ernment Operations. We approved
a resolution extending the author
ity OF the President to submit re-
organization plans until April l.
1858. This is the authorization un-
der which the President is seeking
to reorganize and streamllne the
Executive Departments and Agen-
cies OF the Government, with an
assist from the Hoover Commis-
sion.
Existing authority provides that
reorganization plans. W h n SUB
mitted by the President, shall be-
come law unless rejected by a
Constitutional majority of either
House. Some members OF Congress
feel that this gives the Chief EX-
acutive too much authority, and
efforts have been made to change
the rule to provide that Congress
NAV reject q reorganization plan
by a simple rajority OF those pres
ent and voting. All such efforts IN
the past have failed because It is
generally agreed that the House OF

of 435 different individuals. is too
unwieldy to be effective IN this sort

RALEIGH, This is the time of
year when many drivers get that
sickening and helpless feeling
which comes when they put on
their brakes and the old car just
slides blithely along the ice or
snow-covered street
It's an experience no one likes
and no motories need have, ac-
cording to J. T. Outlaw, Exec,
Vice-Pres. North Carolina Mo-
tor Carriers Association.
IF you have trouble controll-
ing your car on slippery streets,
don't blame the weather." Mr..
Outlaw said. Chances are it is
high time for a reappraisal of
driving habits. Safe driving on
slippery streets requires draSti-
cally reduced speeds. Most people
slow down some, Of course, but
few people slow down enough to
have full control over their We
hicles under all conditions. Maxi
mum safe speeds range from as
low as l0-l5 miles an hour or
even less on ice - to a possible
35 miles an hour on packed snow.
Mr.. Outlaw emphasized that
the control of your car depends
on the traction between the road
surface and your tires. This trac-
ton is greatly reduced by snow,
ice or rain and you can't expect
to be able to control your car
at pavement speeds"

TWO NEW ACP PRACTICES
EOR SPRING
Formerly PMA)

The 1855 ACP Program offers
two mighty good practices for this
spring. One is that of top-dress-
ing your permanent pasture and
alfalfa.
To qualify for this, it is neces-
Sary to have a soil test which
specifies need for top dressing.
You will be given lime and ferti-
lizer according to the need deter
mined by the soil test.
If you haven't already sent in
your soil samples, do so imme-
diately. We are temporarily out of
boxes but clean icecream contain
erS make a good substitute. This
top dressing must be applied be-
fore spring growth begins. SO you
see there is no time to waste.
The second practice you might
be interested is is No. 16 which
permits the seeding of spring
oats and fescue which can be
harvested for hay or grazed.
Those farmers who seeded small
grain for temporary grazing or
hay last fall, can get assistance
on a cover crop Qime, seed and
fertilizer for hay or grazing this
summer.
This is wonderful opportunity
for cattle farmers. You don't have
to have a soil test. however, at
least one ton of lime must be used
and maybe two, depending on
when the field was lined last. A
minimum of 300 pounds of 2-l2-l2
must be used per acre. More fer
tllizer can be furnished, not to
exceed 1000 pounds per acre.
There are other grasses and le-
gumes which will qualify you for
