THE drought is the hinge On

There's ample hay more IN

A good general rain could start it

In Southwest little or none has
been moving. mostly because the

These prices are now near the

Than now.

the dairyman will have to decide
for himself whether he can come

COP is NOW ADOPTING
STEVENSON'S SUGGESTIONS
(Hertford County Herald)

Adlai Stevenson was supposed to
be the Democratic Party candidate
for President twice. He was. But
apparently he is also the top archi-
tect of Republican policies.
Latest Stevenson contribution to
the COP program is the idea of a
year-long ban on manufacture of
atomic weapons, recently proposed
as start for world disarmament
by the Republican administration.
The Eisenhower administration
has for the past several years been
adopting Stevenson ideas as its
own with regularity that can on
" be said to be complimentary.
Which proves once again that
the words of Stevenson spoke the
true directions of America much
more so than those of his success
full opponent. He is the flea in the
brain of American government, and
while he will never sit in the
White House he will have served
the country better than some who
have.

FISHERMAN'S OVERHEAD
BECOMES EXPENSIVE
DAILY Reflector, Greenville, N. c.

The average Tar Heel sportsman
who figures every bird he ever shot
cost him about $15.37 and every
fish he ever landed cost slightly
less is going to have to make an
upward revision of his overhead
before another year rolls around.
Come January every hunter and
fisherman in the state is going to
have to fork over to the Wildlife
Commission an extra dollar for the
privilege of enjoying his favorite
pastime. That is unless he's fool
ish enough to risk run-in with
the game warden and the JP for
not having a proper license. Such
AN alternative could run the cost
of hunting or fishing up consider
ably.
This business of overhead for
the sportsmen has become prob
lem almost as serious as that of
business. Not many years ago a
guy figured he could hunt or fish
for little or nothing. And many did
For the fisherman it was a matter
of cane pole, length of Irvine
and a fish hook that cost in the
neighborhood of a penny. There
were enough nearby creeks and
streams with plenty of fish to make
the cost of transportation negli-
gible. AS for bait, worms were
plentiful and the fish seemed sat
isfied with them.
Not so now!
The fisherman has to have a
fancy rod and reel outfit that costs
more than an entire lifetime of
fishing years ago. He begrudgingly
forks over few bucks for the
necessary license, pays by the
month for an expensive boat and
cupboard motor, and acquires a
store-bought trailer for the boat.
With all this he needs a new high
powered automobile to haul all the
stuff and feels like fledgling if
he doesn't travel at least a hun
bred miles from home before, he
vets a hook.
On top of that the tastes of fish
have changed and the fieherman's
got to have a bait box fitted out
like a French chefs pantry if he
expects to get a nibble.
Once he gets fish on the hook
it doesn't cost anything to haul it
in. It's the overhead that's so ex-
pensive.

for such terrible crimes from tele-
vision programs, however, is a
clear indication that more atten-
ton needs to be given to the pro-
grams which are sent out over the
air.
1t is inexcusable for those plan
ming the programs to permit ma
terial to go out over the air which
will teach boys and girls in their
formative years how to commit
crimes and escape detection. So
long as the television industry does
not do a better job of self-disci-
pline it will be open to criticism
and will be inviting the ire of
these who would use regulatory
means of keeping it's standards
high.
1t will be much better if the in
dustry leaders will take steps to
improve their standards than to
have outsiders dictate the terms of
the censorship.

TIMBER BRINGS HIGHER
PRICES IN THE FALL

Timber growers who sell their
sawtimber in the fall receive more
than those who sell at other times
of the year.
This is the conclusion reached by
Walter C. Anderson of the South
eastern Forest Experiment Station
at ,Asheville from study of an
eight-year record of prices received
for market timber in the Carolinas'
timber-growing areas.
Just why the prices are highest
in the fall is not entirely clear,
since number of factors influence
log markets. The number of saw
millers competing for timber at
any given time, for example, de-
ponds primarily upon farming ac-
tivity, rainfall, and the condition
of the timber market.
Since many small operators also
farm, sawmilling activity generally
increases in the fall after crops
have been harvested. This is nor
mally the driest season of the year
as well as an active period in the
lumber market.
While no particular fall month
was consistently the ''best month"
to sell timber, those people who
sell between August and November
will have the best chance of receiv-
ing top dollar for their woods prod
ucts.

MURDER BY TELEvISION
News & Press, Albemarle, N. C.)

The blood-curdling story of how
two young boys, ages IL and 10
killed their father, after the fash
ion of television murders, was
spread throughout the nation re
Gently.
The boys admitted that they got
the idea for killing their father
and disposing of his body from
watching television.
That admission is indeed an in
dictment Of the television industry.
It is not the first crime we have
heard of among juveniles which
was said to be traceable to tele-
vision drama.
We do not mean to infer that
television, itself, is bad. Just like
ado, newspapers, motion pic
ures and other mass commanica-
ion media, it is good in itself and

youngster has only a few months
to live.
Like any parent facing a SINH
lar situation, Red is hurt and yet
with it all he wants to see that
little boy live the balance of his
life to the fullest. So the Skeletons
are taking a trip around the world
SO that the "little boy can see
and enjoy the sights while he
cam"
This is surely heart-warmning
journey. And with each passing
hour there is the certainty that
death is nearer. 1t won't be a
pleasure trip in the normal sense
of the word for the Skeletons, 1t
will be a trip to allow son the
opportunity to discover life and
the world while he is still alive
and able to do so.
Here is case where a man has
lot of money. But all the money
in the world apparently can't save
the life of his precious little boy.
The father and mother realize
that full we'll.
While the Shelton family is on
this trip, people over the world
will be following the journey with
admiring eyes. We hope the little
fellow in particular has wonder-
full time. We hope he finds real
enjoyment and many thrills in
seeing the sights of this world.
And more than all that we wish
that somehow science could come
up with cure for this disease
before this youngster and thou
sands like him fall victim to a
vicious killer.

Ever feel older than you really
are? Ever feel like you just can't
face another day of the same old
routine.
Fourteen 'brain-stormers" got
together the other day to tell
you just what you should do
if you want to stay young.
The session was staged by
the advertising firm of Bat
ten, Barton, Durstine and Os-
born and the participants ranged
from 20 to IS years old. Each per-
son let ideas fly while his brain
stormed around the the subject of
"How To Feel Young" Out of the
session came 143 suggestions,
which This Week Magazine then
presented to the public.
First two suggestions were
Throw your diary away and get
plan book" and BUY yourself a
puppy" i
Here are some of the other rec
concentrations:
Do something you always wanted
to do and didn't have the cour-
age.
Use bubble bath and put pink
light bulbs throughout the house.
Next time you plan on saying
"no" to something, say Eyes in
stead and see what happens.
Buy yourself birthday pres
ent.
Form Curiosity Club in which
you explore something new every
week.
Clean out your desk or your
clothes closet.
Buy your kids an ice cream cone
and sit on the curb and eat it with
them.
If these expert transformers
can find 143 ways to stay young,
you ought to be able to think up at
least dozen yourself. 1t all boils
down to one thing: get out of the
rut you are in. Try doing things
Observation-Disclosures it's what you
eat, what you wear, what you think,
whom you see, where you go.
Youth is willing to try something
new; age gets stuck in it's own rut.
Maybe it's time for a change!

TRAINING" DOES NOT
PRODUCE FULL NAN
(Smithfield, N. c., Herald)

A man stood before a group of
educators in New York City the
other day and said that the ulti-
mate test of education is not
whether it has succeeded in help
ing business and industry, but
whether it has helped to develop
better more rational human be-
ings.
The man went on to say: Gan
educational system that turns out
for example, large numbers of
highly trained engineers without
teaching them how to reason and
come to logical conclusions on per-
sonal, community, national, and
world problems; federation of right
of others in the working out of
particular problems; and the ac-
ceptance of the outcome of a logi-
cal conclusion is not education
but training Mere training
does not produce a full man; it
may even produce little more than
mechanical, unthinking man I.

or "dealist" who was "not prac-
teal" He was a successful execu-
tive of big corporation-Frank

WHO FEARS THE. BIG, BAD
SUBSIDY FOR THE BIG BOYS?
Northampton County News)

A subsidy is subsidy, whether
it is paid to the operator of steam
ships, air lines or farms.
Consequently, it is passing
strange that many Americans fear
a Government payment to farmers
will destroy their character and
self-reliance, but have no qualms
about the character and self-reli-
ance of those who run the steam
ship lines, the air lines and other
businesses which receive financial
favors from the Federal Govern
ment.
Farmers, in connection with the
money they receive as 4 result Of
Federal legislation, should NOT
overlook the fact that this is SUBJ
sidy, regardless of the manner in
which it is paid. Manufacturers
who sell their goods on protected
market, due to the tariff, receive
a similar subsidy.
AS far as we have observed, no
prominent business man has ex-
pressed any fear, in public at least,
that the tariff subsidy destroy the
character and self-reliance of man
ufacturers. Since the tariff subsidy
has been operating for many dec
