BENSON BUREAU ~. On the
same day last week that L. Y.
Ballentine. North Cardinals able
Commissioner of Agriculture, tes-
titled in Raleigh before a special
Congressional Committee, tn e
American Farm Bureau Federation
made peculiar sounds in its Chica-
go convention. E. T. Benson sounds.
Commissioner Ballentine stated
that farmers could not get along
without help from Uncle Sans
agencies and agents. They are hav-
ing hard enough time even with it.
Alonzo Edwards knows this, too.
TO COP Although they re-
fuse to be quoted, some North
Carolinians feel that the national
organization leaned too heavily to
the Republican administration in
its convention behavior. The Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation call
ed for less government interior
ence with agriculture.
With Tarheels pleading for
sharper controls, you can see at a
glance the wide difference of opin-
ion between Farm Bureaus ma
tionaI leaders and it's North Caro-
lima leaders. This has been true for
years.
u. s. Aid. Well the National
Farm Bureau can resolute as it
likes, but any Tarheel farmer keep

ing up with things at all will tell
you that farmers. without govern
mental assistance, regulation, and
Interference, would soon face star
walton. And this goes for the air
lines, the railroads and a long list
of other businesses heavily sub
sidized by Uncle Sam.
Commissioner B allentine is
right. Farm Bureau is wrong.
NOTE During the 1957-59
biennium, various Federal-State-
County projects operating in North
Carolina will use only $261,117,687
in Uncle Sam grants-in-aid funds
That is more than the entire
North Carolina budget was a short
rs years ago and most of it to
agriculture for 1957-59.
CLUB PROGRAM You civic
clubs having such hard time COM
ing up with good programs might
want to get in touch with the State
Advertising Division, Box 2719,
Raleigh, and get it's film entitled
Unusual Hunting in North Caro-
lima"
It's in color, runs for about 10
minutes, and tells about wild boar
hunting in the Great Smokes, fox
hunting on the Outer Banks, and
goose shooting on Lake Mattamus-
keet.
ON BROADWAY :. One of the
plays getting rave notices in New
York is "Look Homeward, Angel"
from Thomas Wolfe's book by the
same name.
Although he's been dead now
about twenty years, Wolfe's books
continue to sell at a good clip. Of
course, he will never be known as
a best-seller or even in the

men and the parent N. C. Dept. of
Motor Vehicles.

your '58 registration card!
COBLE -. Although we see al
most daily the name Coble in con-
nection with milk, we hadn't heard
much lately about the man who
started it all-and the Dairy
Foundation at State College-un-
til last week.
In looking over names of organ
izers of new firm set up to fl
nance the purchase of house trail
ers in the South, we noted that one
of the incorporators was George
Coble. Another was L. L. Ray, who
is assistant to the president-or
chancellor-at State College and in
charge of its foundations. Another
was Walker Martin, whose bust
ness is in Raleigh but who, like
Coble, is a Lexingtonian and an
outstanding citizen and business
man. Manager is Harold Pitser,
former Ford man here.
This house trailer, or mobile
home, business is booming. People
who have given up hope of ever
owning cottage at the beach or
a home in Florida are finding they
can do both with $4,000 trailer.
A LITTLE LATE The story
going the rounds is that Santa
Claus might be little late this
year at least in North Carolina.
He will be operating on only
seven cylinders, so to speak-seven
RENDERS, that is.
The Baptists have decided to
fire Dancer.
FOREST CORPORATION? i.
1t is still only in the planning
stage, but a group of foresters
and bankers are giving thought to
setting up a corporation to pre-
serve and cultivate North Carolina
forests.
If this is done, idea will be to
fix it so that anybody with a few
dollars to invest might become
part-owner of tree farms through
out the State. Basic plan as out
lined to us by a State College for
estry expert would call for setting
up the program, selling shares,
employing manager, and buying
cut-over farmland available for
less than $50 per acre in all sec
lions of North Carolina. Makes
sense.

ranks with that other North Caro-
linian, o. Henry, in the popularity
field. That honor goes to another
Southerner, Erskine Caldwell of
Georgia, whose books have sold
over forty million copies to date.
Still living and happy, Erskine
Caldwell is the most widely read
author in the world. But some few
folks still prefer Bible.
SUGAR PLUMS ;. "While Wis
ions of sugar plums danced in
their heads"
Not so with Luther Hodges, your
Governor. Before leaving for a
Christmas vacation in Florida, the
Governor went hunting at a game
reserve in Randolph County. He
hunted, but his mind was else
where.
He had fair luck, admitted he
should have done better, and then
said that game preserves, such as
the one he hunted on could mean
ga very great deal for tourists"
When he fishes, it's for tourists;
when he hunts, it's for industry;
and when he dreams, it's of smoke
stacks and lower taxes.
And so he is now down in Flori-
da resting-and seeing what we
can do to compete with that eli
mate. Fine thing for tourists, you
know.
GREAT LOSS We won't at
tempt to name them all here, but
North Carolina has lost some out
standing newspapermen this year,
among them:
Roy Parker, Ahoskie; Sanford
Martin, Winston-Salem; L. j..
Hampton, Hamptonville; Neal Ca
dieu, Rockingham; and Norman
McCulloch, Elizabethtown.
Some of them were nationally
known, all were strong individuals,
and each did his part over the
past 40 years to make North Caro-
lima newspaperdom truly outstand-
ing. We knew and liked all of them.
PERFECT REFLECTION" :.
Kay Kyser, famous for his Kollege
of Musical knowledge, for so many
years throughout America, is now
devoting much of his time to
spreading the doctrine of Christian
Science.
Kay lives with his beautiful
wife and children at Chapel Hill.
Always a good boy and an enter
tainer who saved his money and in
vested it wisely, Kyser came home
to retirement several years ago
now.
Officially, he is chairman of the
Christian Science publicity COM
mittee in North Carolina and APP
parently believes very, very deeply
in Christian Science. His lectures,
however, are not confined to Chris
tian Science groups. The former

full time.
Our Endowment Losses
AS of last year, we have a
new category which shall
drain heavily on our men,
bership losses more and more
with each passing year il
something is not done TO COM
bat the problem. This is the
matter of 20 Year EndoW-
ment maturities.
In 1856, 122 such cer-
tificates matured, and 230
in the first six months Of
this year. OF this total, we
lost completely by cash pay
ments 80 in 1856, and 60
members i'm the first 6
months of 1857. These are
prospects which we should
keep on our books at all
costs, as they are members
of 20 years standing with
the highest investment.
We have encountered quite
a number of such members
whose certificates matured
and who requested cash pay
ments in full.
In every case, lack of know
ledge on their part as to their
rights provided by the cer-
tificate was given for re-
questing a full cash payment.
Keep 1t Constructive!
There you have but a few
Of the facts with which We
are confronted today, and on
which facts l base my feel
ings for the necessity of hav-
ing Field Men in our Society.
We urge each and every
member to carefully study
the figures presented in
these few paragraphs and
submit your comments or
suggestions to our Editors
for publication, or to the
attention of the Supreme
Board for its September
meeting, be you for or a
gainst the idea of Field
Men.
Only with your assistance
can we settle this matter in
a sensible manner. But please,
let's keep our ideas on a con-
structive basis.
These are the facts. Let us
know what you think.

pect our secretaries, and
others, to know the insurance
business as we'll as trained
agents. Therefore, wouldn't it
be logical and sensible to send
trained men into our COM
munities to assist our work
ers, to at least put them on
an even keel with our COM
petitors?
If we all gave this some
serious consideration, an d
weigh it without bias, I'm sure
that we will agree that such
is so.
Campaigns The Answer:
| could ramble on and on
with reasons as to why a
Field Man program should be
adopted by our Society for
its good and future welfare.
But let's get down to the cold
facts and figures | promised
earlier.
Before I begin, let me make
the point clear that our Juve-
nile Department has been pro-
crossing steadily. But you
cannot judge the progress of
a Society by sections, but as
a whole.
Now then, on December
81, 1858, only 3 and one
half years ago. our adult
membership tOtaIed 1902
members, whereas on June
80, 1857, our total number
ed 71,798, or PA less.
This may be considered
progress by some people, but
in my books something is
drastically wrong, and this in
spite Of the fact that we have
had success full campaigns
through the years for which
we have paid huge sums of
money to our proposers.
Last year, we lost a total
Of 1929 members in the adult
and juvenile e departments
through terminations, sur
renders, lapses and maturi-
ties.
If we concentrated our eff.
forts on these prospects alone
which were in our midst, anC
required no loss of time ir

Field Men would pay for
themselves if they succeeded
in saving one-fourth of our
examinations, which / feel GER
