NEAR THE TOP Business
conditions throughout North Caro-
lima during the next four months
are expected to be about the best
we have ever known them in this
area of the South.
This is the information we get
from agricultural and business
experts who have made a study
of the situation and are watching
it develop with keen interest.
Fear of a prolonged recession
or perhaps a real old-fashioned
depression-caused suppliers last
winter and spring to go slow in
laying in heavy stocks. Now they
are laying in the goods for fall
sales. This should mean that our
hosiery mills, our cloth mills, our
furniture factories, our synthetic
fiber outlets will be humming full
time again.
Another thing. Our crops have
never been better. Tobacco is
beautiful and is bringing beauti-
full prices. The peanut crop is the
only one of our big money plant
ings said to be not up to par. Even
it is looking better than it did a
month ago. Corn, cotton, and truck
crops are great.
So, with what we have on our
own-and what we will get in
North Carolina from the Federal
Government in new and enlarged
service camps and from the soil
bank and other subsidies-this
State should see real prosperity
from now right on through Christ
mas.
We are advised that business
people who wish to get in on it
should already be well along in
their preparations to participate.
Those who are too timid, too fear
full, to cautious, may be left at
the gate. 1t is always good to be
careful, but the advice we get and
pass along is:
Complete your arrangements

His father was 1t. Gov. and ran
for Governor in 1910.
Horton, sharp young attorney,
is the Democratic nominee for the
House from Chatham this time.
Since he is only about So years
of age, his friends are shocked at
his illness.
Incidentally, he is a son-in-law
of Carl Goerch, the husband of
Doris. Another son-in-law of the
publisher and North Carolina ex-
pert was in the 1857 Legislature.
That was Edward Powe of Dur

Powe was first elected to the

run this time, preferring to spend
a little time building up his law
practice.

REJECTION WITHOUT REASON

EVERY NOW AND again the Gordon administra-
ton turns down an opportunity for good public rela-
tons. And what is puzzling to us is why this govern
ment, any government for that matter, should turn its
back on the many seemingly little things which would
SO easily serve to ingratiate itself with the people.
THE ACT TO which we make reference is the Gov
ernor's rejection Of the name of Attorney James A.
Bough as a Virgin Islands representative on the Com
mlttee on Revision of the Caribbean Commission. Even
without having had that name suggested to him the
Governor, Of his own accord, should have made the ap-
pointment. But to make matters worse he even went SO
far as to reject the suggestion.
LET US PUT this thing in its proper perspective.
A most important phase Of the work Of any administra-
ton is the relations it has with the people in general.
Regardless of how big, and how wonderful, and how
influential may be its moves and counter moves, the
bald, simple fact remains that the respect, support, CO.
operation and goodwill Of the people will depend in
large part upon the way that administration deals with
the masses.
WHILE THERE is no set pattern for good rela-
tons, it is clear that much of the goodwill can come
only fromthe many little, and seemingly insignificant,
things which made up daily life of peoples and nations.
The greater the number OF people taking part in public
functions the greater the influence which any admins
tration can exercise generally. In relation to this num-
Der also is the degree of education. and information
which reaches all segments of the population.
THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR appointments are
limited, and that makes it all the more imperative that
the few available ones be spread out so as to touch the
greatest number and therefore win the greatest good.
THIS IS o a battle on behalf Of Mr.. Bough. He
may not need anyone to fight his battles, and none may

Free Mental
Center Opens
At Denver

DENVER-The first patients are
being admitted on a nationwide ba-
sis to the newly-established, free,
non-sectarian, Jewish sponsored
National Mental Health Center.
The medical policy of the ma
TONS first free mental hospital has
been set to admit patients for
whom 6 to 18 months of intensive
treatment in an open-door setting
can make the difference between
a progressive downhin course or
eventual recovery, said John Strelt-
ger, center president.
Patients being admitted, he said,
are unbeatable as outpatients, yet
well enough to adjust to an open
hospital situation. Tfie<new mental
hospital has no locked wards or
rooms, and patients are free to
move about the hospital and its
spacious grounds. Intensive care at
MIMIC includes group and individ-
ual psychotherapy, milieu, occupa-
tional thereapy, and recreational
therapy.
The staff consists of two psychia-
trists, a psychologist, social work.
er, psychiatric nurses and aides,
and an occupational therapist.

aged to hang on. Joe Ginsberg is
still in the majors but apparently
will never be any better than ne
is now, which isn't too good.
Only Sandy Koufax of the Dod-
gers, the swift lefthander, has be-
come regular pitcher of real mer-
it for a team which, for at least half
a season, was in the National
League basement. Where are the
real big stars, like the Hank Green
bergs, Al RoSens and Sid GordonS!
They are absent. And in the minor
leagues there are no really prom
ising Jewish ball players, either.
BASKETBALL, which once was
called Jewish sport because OF
the predominance of Jewish stars
and teams, has only Dolph SchayeS
as a professional star and Lenny
Rosenbluth as conner. In the col
lege headlines, there will be a
Jewish player once in a while, but
not frequently. The new stars are
huge, 7-foot Negro boys or farm
lads from the Mid or Far West.
Jews don't seem to grow that tall,
and as a result, basketball has be-
come a minor, instead of major,
Jewish game.
Tennis, a Social sport which
never had many Jewish players,
did boast, few years ago, of Dick
Savitt and Herb Flam, both of the
top grade. Now Savitt is retired
he plays only intermittently if bril-
liantly-and Flam, after break
down, has not been heard from.
The other Jews in the game, Sam
Match, ETC., are okay, but of the
second or third rank.
THE ONLY important emerg-
ence of the last year has been that
of a star in chess; at the same
time, for the first time in memory,
there is no outstanding Jewish box
er in the ring in this country-al-
though Alphonse Halimi, the North
Jew, is a cham
pion.
The new chess star is, of course,
