A Happy Hello

They say, too. that boats are now much
cheaper, better, safer and easier to handle; that
people have more free time and more free
money, and that trick at the tilIer satisfies the
urge to do things instead Of sitting back and
watching.
These are all sound reasons, but the more
cruise on open water the more certain become
that there is another overriding answer. Let
me begin explaining it this way:

pants Of both, strangers until that moment,

LIKE FARM LIVING

In these days when the number of
farms and the number of farmers is
on the decline, it must take 4 special
kind of courage for 4 young man to
go into farming.
Chances are that he has to assume
a big financial obligation for his farm
and equipment. He has to worry about
getting a satisfactory price for his
crop. He has to wreStle with the prob
lem of income received at irregular
intervals.
But young farm families don't dis
courage easily, reports the Institute
of Life Insurance. Not long ago the
Ohio Experiment Station talked to $50
beginning farm couples and found
that most not only liked living on a
farm but definitely wanted to con-
tinue. In fact, the majority said they'd
like to have their children accept
farming as a career, too.
Nearly all of the husbands in this
group had farm backgrounds. On the
other hand, about 40 per cent of the
wives had never lived on 4 farm be-
fore. This suggests that many farm
wives have a tough row to hoe at
first, and they deserve credit for ad-
juSting so we'll to an entirely new
way OF life.

The response last week to the

Gated . healthy situation in a rural
area.
Much Of the interest in school uc-
tNltIes has been created by CLAYTON
Lewis. youthful looking principal of
the school, who spares nothing in at
tanning the best public relations be-
tween the school and parents.
He gets through his message that
the school belongs to the community
and invites parents to participate in
its activities.
several weeks ago he sent uues-
uonnaireS to learn the feelings of
parents on such school phases as the
Iunchroom, grades earned by students
and the attitudes of parents toward
bus drivers on their route. 1t struck
responsive chord.
As long as men such as Lewis strive
to make parents conscious that the
school belongs to them, rural schools
VII! remain on the progressive track.
Many city school officials could
take few lessons from their rural
associates.
We doubt that there are many sec.
tons Of North Carolina blessed with
rural schools as progressive as those
in Columbus County.

CHICKEN BUSINESS

A story last week extolled the
merits of the egg and chicken bust
ness by two local men. These are men
who saw the tobacco hand writing on
the wall and shifted to other cash
revenue crops before the real
squeeze hit them.
There's a lesson in their business
for everyone. We can not all raise
chickens and eggs but certainly more
than are currently in that business can
get in it. And those who don't like
the chicken business, have host of
other possibilities.
Hogs and cattle can be turned into
cash. Tomatoes, okra, peppers, butter
beans. cucumbers and strawberries
are money makers if planted, cult
waited and marketed properly. And of
course our old standby sweet potatoes
can still make the difference in profit
and loss
We know that farmers get tired of
hearing that the sweet potato quality
must improve. And we will go along
with them that the quality isn't the
only thing wrong with the sweet
potato business here. But we do know
that better price will result if farm
ers will plant better seed. decrease
the disease in the potatoes and pack
a better basket
Tobacco will continue to be a first
money crop for few years and GER
tainly we hope that it will always be
profitable. But we honestly believe
we can shift some emphasis to other
commodities while tobacco is decreas-
ing and maintain a farmer income as
high as that of past good seasons.
Some one has said that when the
turpentine business here petered out
many years ago. that long faces were
seen all over the place. Many believed
that their real cash crop was
through and famin" was unavoidable.
As it turned out. the loss of the tur
pentine business was blessing.
The same may be said for tobacco
IN the years to come. 1t is a matter of
changing world and to maintain our
standard Of living, We must adapt
new ideas and new methods wicr-
ever necessity dictates.

He emphasized that the $10t

out of the overall appropriation

said, if Congress in any future

economic aid, no legal liability
would exist in that year for pay

commitments.
Mr.. Hoover was the first wit
ness as the House committee

dents $40 billion foreign aid

State calls a conspiracy to hinder

have used cars in a motor pool
which has provided transporta-

colt.
Tells of Mass Meetings
Mrs. Dungee also testified she
saw Mr.. King at many of the
mass meetings held at Negro
churches twice a week since the
boycott started, and that the 81
Iyear-old Baptist minister spoke
at some of the rallies. But she
said she couldn't recall what he
said except that he discussed
1.-THE protest." which is the Ne
groes' term for the dispute.
The financial secretary also
said collections of money were
taken up at every mass meeting
she remembered and that I'm
sure" some of the money went
to the improvement Associa-
ton"
/ Mrs. Dungee said the organ
Iization has performed no direct
function besides supporting the
bus boycott and has spent no
money directly" for any other
purpose. She said the associa-
Ition helped out with baskets for
needy Negroes, but she did not
recall spending any of the or
foundations money for that pur-
pose.

stand and told of the organiza-
