MANTEO BASKETBALL TEAMS
FACE CONFERENCE FOES

The Manteo Red Skins faced two
conference foes during the past
week with the girls winning one
and losing one and the boys VIM
ming both games.
On Friday night, the Manteo
girls had no difficulty in outscor-
ing the Weeksville girls 1927. Jean
Sears and Mabel Jean Basnight
were high point leaders for the
Manteo girls, scoring 10 each.
The Manteo boys, paced by
Lawrence Swain Jr., placed one of
their best offensive games this
year as they beat the Bulldogs
44-31. Swain had IL points for
Manteo, Lowry had Is for Weeks
vile.
On Tuesday night of this week
the Redskins met the strongest
girls team they will probably face
this season. Both teams played fast
and it was strictly a scoring
battle, although the Manteo defense
was considerably improved from
the games last year with Griggs.
Manteo had point lead several
times, but a great amount of foul
ing by Manteo girls enabled them
to cut down the lead. The GrIggs
girls took the lead late in the 4th
quarter and kept it to win, 4S-41.
The boys game was little on
the dull side, with Manteo coming
up with early lead. The Redskins
won 46-40.
AS of the games on Tuesday,
the Manteo girls now have a 81
record, and the boys also a 81
record. Including a game with
group of Navy Duck boys, The
Redskins have Il G-1 record.
The boys will probably run into
their strongest foe this Friday as
they face the Camden Rebels here
at the home floor. There will be
no game on Tuesday of next week,
but on Friday, the teams will go
to Central, where they will face
two strong teams.

Under Education
For Socialism
BY JOHN T. FLYNN
,tEDITOR'S NOTE: John T.
Flynn is a noted author, lee
turer and radio commentator.)

In addition to being, as we sup
pose, the smartest people on the
face of the globe. Americans may
we'll have a claim to being the
most easily duped. Or perhaps 1t
is because we are so free as a
people, and therefore so trusting,
that we do not keep our guard up
against those highly organized
slicker groups eager to put some
thing over on US. For some years
without being aware of it, we have
been the target for one of the most
dangerous assaults on our minds
in our history. You will recall that
we once had a very active social
ist party in America. 1t was open
and frank about its detectives. 1t
promoted socialism in halls, in
pamphlets, from soapboxes and
through a political party. But it
became clear that you could not
sell socialism as such to Ameri-
cans. And so the party as prac-
tically disappeared as a real force.
But the socialist movement" did
not disappear. Instead of selling
socialism from a soapbox with the
socialist label on it, it is now be-
ing sold, minus the label, and enor-
1noutly more effectively, in our
schools-particularly our public
schools. The socialist revolution
aries have leveled their guns at the
minds of the coming generation.
Our public schools are supported
by taxes and managed by the rep
resentatives of the people. Their
function is to teach the child to
read and write and think and, of
course, to understand the great
principles of government upon
which our free republic is based.
But a wholly new movement has
come into being, supported chiefly
by hooded socialists, communists
and wealthy citizens who are dupes.
Its purpose is to keep from the
students mind the great principles
of our own free system of society
and to expose his mind to the
stream of socialist or communist
ideas. To do this, of course, the
school books must be slanted to
indoctrinate the students unpro-
tected mind. No parent WOULD
dream of sending his child to a
school which frankly advertised it.
self as socialist. But he perhaps
never suspects what is being done
to that child in the public school
which is supported with his taxes.
Americans like to think of them
selves as particularly progressive,

ideas. He is, therefore, easily de-
ceived when he finds that his
child's school-if he thinks about
it at all-has adopted something
called progressive" education.
But the word progressive" in this
label, while utterly fraudulent, has
nevertheless a hidden value. Its
aim is to lead the unsuspecting
child down the dark road to Marx
ian socialism, which now has most
of Europe and Asia trapped in
bankruptcy.
Progressive education is a sys-
tenn not to train the mind to think
and to reason but to under-educate
it. Almost all the root ideas that
make up the substance of our civ
ilization are artfully eliminated
from the school texts and the
classroom teaching. The child's
mind is carefully shielded from
those values essential to a free
society-those bases of decision by
which the students mind, and
later the citizens mind, is guided.
Instead the student is shrewdly
exposed every day to the products
of socialist thinking until he leaves
the classroom with a wholly new
collection of Notwithstanding a
hatred of most of those institu-
lions that have made America so
strong and free. He yields to the
notion that the citizen belongs to
a noble State-which will be his
ruler, his teacher, his employer
and his master.
Stated so simply, as is done here,
it is difficult to get the normal
minded American to believe this.
One can do no more than to alert
citizens to the dangers. Therefore,
find out what goes on in your
school. Find out what your teach
ers are teaching. Find out what
appears in the books they use. l
suggest that you cannot make a
better start in getting acquainted
with this dangerous movement
than by reading and studying a lit

and study to this subject and has

only the facts about this movement
and what is going on in our

to what you may do to protect
your children from this thorough
ly un-American enterprise.

various eastern N. C. counties
show considerable gains in collec-

come many benefits, and our small

WASHINGTON, D.C.-What the ap-
proximate 2 per cent drop in the ma
tional inventory Of cattle means for
the future is prompting a lot Of debate
here among livestock forecasters. Some
think the USDA's New Year count
showing 1.6 million head fewer of cat
tie and calves than a year earlier
points to better price year ahead.
Others disagree; say things will get
worse.
USDA itself takes middle posi-
ton, saying that cattle prices "are
likely to average about the same
as in 1861
Most folks agree that there will be
another reduction in numbers during
the current year of, say, about 2 mil
lion head. Slaughter will hold at about
last years level, according to the de-
partment's livestock people. They look
for replacements in 1857 to drop Off
about 100000 head.
Is the decline in numbers the start of
a long-term downward cycle? That
question can get you some argument,
but everybody expects the inventory to
continue declining as long as there is
severe drought. Most of the reduction
in numbers during Sc occurred in the
droughty areas of the country. There
were relatively sharp declines in New
Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas, Nebraska and the two Da-
kotas. In Montana the drop was
per cent?
If many more farmers in dry areas
are forced to liquidate, USDA con-
cludes, slaughter in 1857 would be
larger than now anticipated and prices
lower

POULTRY INSPECTION

It is now the view of practically
everybody in the poultry business
that compulsory federal inspection
OF fowl sold across state lines will
be a good thing-frOm the point of
view of consumer good will and
future demand.
Some large food chains, as a matter
OF fact, now will buy only birds that
have been examined under the govern
ment's present voluntary inspection pro-
gram. Perhaps One-third and more of
the volume of poultry being shipped
Interstate is already federally inspected
on request Of processing plants them
selves.

agreement of the poultry industry and
other groups that there should be ~

LAXITY CHARGED

Legislation has been introduced by
both Democrats and Republicans to
transfer enforcement of the Packers
& Stockyards Act from USDA to the
Federal Trade Commission. Reason
given by the legislators is that the de-
partment has been lax in enforcing
marketing provisions of the act, with
the result that cattle prices have suf-
fered.
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming, one
of the hackers of the legislation,
charges that USDA has shown a COM
plete lack of interest in antitrust en-
fOrcement.
During hearings conducted last year
by the Wyoming senator, large meat
packers and chain stores were charged
with engaging in monopoly practices
which resulted in lower cattle prices.
Agriculture Secretary Benson is
against the transfer of enforcement
authority out of his department, but
has ordered aides to make a survey
of current activities and problems re-
lated to the investigation and regula-
ton under the Packers and Stockyards
Act of trade practices in livestock buy
ing and meat merchandising.
MARKET COSTS RISE
You can look for middIemen TO
get an increasing share Of the con-
sumner food dollar. This is the con-
clusiOn of USDA market research
ers who predict "a continuation of
the steady rise of recent years in
marketing cOsts.''
Three main reasons are given for
the anticipated trend: % Services pro-
Vlded by the marketing system will
increase compared with those per-
formed by farmers in producing raw
materials; 20 workers in processing
and distribution of food products will
increase relative to the workers and
resources in agriculture; 80 distrubu-
ton and processing costs will 90 up
more than farm production costs.
