was a good thing for us; it saved
us a lot of trouble. / remember,
four decades later, a friend of
mine, who was Supervisor Of
one of the hill towns in western
New York. Except in its great
cities, the State Of New York is
baSically governed by such
Townships in which the Super
visor is the principal Of
ficer. Not only is he the ad-
ministrator Of the town but he
is the towns representative in
the county legislature, known as
the Board of Supervisors. My old
friend, the Supervisor, was one
Of the most useful public officers
| have ever known. He conduct
ed most governmental affairs of
about six thousand people from
an office in the front parlor of
his farm house, with equipment
consisting of a steel filing cab
met and an old fashioned tele-
phone. Like almost all human
beings, he was profoundly con.
servative, in that he wished to
see continued the formulas Of
life to which he was personally
accustomed. He was willing to
change only those things which,
of course, ought to be changed.
He was also a man of somewhat
local views. remember one
time his denouncing to me the
intrusion into our county Of what
he described as foreign corpo-
rations." Our conversation went
on for quite a while before real
lied that he was talking about
business entities having their
principal Office outside the boun-
daries of the County!
For generations our County'S
principal medical facility had
been its Memorial Hospital. This
had been founded generations
earlier; for its original estab-
liShment and subsequent support
we were indebted to the generos-
ity Of charitably-minded old lad
les, who died leaving their COM

and to the bounty of local bus
inessmen. who came to the end
Of long lives in which they had
risen if not to the rank Of cap
tains of industry, perhaps at any
rate, to very honorable grades
as second heutenants. BY the
time am talking about, in the
1905, the Memorial Hospital
had fallen on sad days Inheri-
tance taxation had been unkind
to the settled fortunes or our
county families. The old ladies
were no longer as well to do as
they used to be. Graduated in
come tax had somewhat impair
ed the capabiIity of our local
magnates to accumulate funds
for the hospital. The many other
services required for unfortunate
people, not only from govern
ment but from multiplying pri-
vate organizations, competed
severely for the shrinking funds
of the weIl-to-do. The h0spital
looked a little shabby. It's build
ings dated from the 1905. The
diet kitchens were archaic. The
Pathological equipment was suit
ed to a museum of science; and
the roof of the nurses cottage
had begun to leak. My friend,

aware of the needs of people in
our part of the State, and Of the

By ARTHUR E. SUTHERLAND
A peculiar virtue of our politi-
cal tradition is absence of any
felt necessity to give it a doc
trinal name. In this respect we
live fortunately apart from a
world overdominated by political
theories. Wisely, and to our
good fortune, we ascribe our
selves only an American way
of life' without stopping to ana
lyze its elements. On balance
this has been a good way of life;
it has had its sorry parts, but
it has had its splendors; it gives
us as good hope for a future as
man in his uncertain existence
may reasonably require of fate.
To surprising extent we have
deferred ourselves against the
tyranny of labels. On the con-
trary, we make political and So
cial changes quite lighthearted-
ly, continuing to call new inSti-
tutions by the old familiar names
we used for the discarded institu-
tions of the past, SO saving our
tSelves the discomfort of ac-
knowledged change, and SO the
necessity of apology for it.
Indeed we are more afraid OF
labels than we are Of substance.
in that remarkable paper, Law
and the Court" which Holmes
read at a dinner OF the Harvard
Law School Association in 1918,

hospital services, gladly took ov-
er the chairTnanship Of a COM
mittee Of the Board Of Supervis-
ors charged with matters Of pub
lie health.
He showed energy and imagi-
nation on behalf Of the hospital.
If l had expostulated with him,
quoting Herbert Spencer's super
cilious chapter about the limits
on the duty of the state to adopt
measures for protecting the health
of its subjects, he would quite
rightly have said l was heart
less and unrealistic. My friends
County Board, under his active
leadership, appropriated County
funds and rebuilt a better and
brighter hospital. He brought in
new equipment and subsidized
new doctors with public funds.
He saw to it that people in need
of health services, not only in
his town and our County, but in
adjacent counties for whom the
Memorial Hospital was most
convenient, had medical services
when they needed them, and had
those services whether or not
they had means to pay.
Now this was in time when
the British National Health Serv-
ices were coming under heavy
criticism in the papers Of our
country. England had a LabOur
Government which the Conservas
tives always took pains to de-
nominate the "socialistic" govern
ment. Something called Social
lied medicine was going on
there at a great rate. ! do not
think my friend the Supervisor
was widely read in philosophy of
government, or in the comparative
political theory of England and
the United States. do not think
he knew very much about what
was going on in ENGLAND. But !
am quite sure he viewed what
ever it was with decided aver
sion. If | had suggested to him
in our rock-ribbed County he was
a leader in the substitution of
public medicine for private en-
terpriSe; that he was indeed in
PRODUCING socialiStic practices in
to our polity, which had long
been and continued to be dis
tinguished for fidelity to quite
opposite political slogans, am
sure he would have reacted with
his infrequent and selective pro-
family and ended up calling me
certain kind Of fool. And, on
the whole, / think that my friend
in this would have been entirely
correct.
In our time, II has become
fashionable, even among those
who speak well Of Holmes gen.
eral philosophy, to say that his
views of economics we're back
ward and naive. Here | discreet
ly express no judgment of these
criticisms, for the vocabulary
and the quantitative mathematics
of the economic science is quite
beyond my limited competence.
Nevertheless, am impressed
with the wisdom Of some things

Get Out Of Pickle. BY Getting
Into Pickles. Says BuIIentine

RALEIGH - Many North
Carolina farmers could get out
of a pickle by getting into the
pickles.
This is the gist of a state
ment released today by Agri-
culture Commissioner L. Y.
Balentine, calling attention to
the fact that farmers in the
state could have grown at
least 10000 more acres of Gu
cumbers in 1868 than have
been contracted for.
Under such contracts the
farmer is guaranteed a market
for his crop at a specified
price before he even plants a
seed" the commissioner ex-
planned. Yet not only did sew
eral companies who have been
contracting in the state fail 10
get anywhere near the acreage
they wanted, but a number of
new firms would have made
contracts here for the first
time if they could have found
the farmers to produce.
Buyers are increasingly
pleased with the quality of
North Carolina cucumbers.
While the acreage of cucumb-
ers under contract increased
sharply this year to a total of
between 10000 and $4,000
acres, contracts for another
10000 acres were readily av-
ailable for 1868 and the cur
rent total represents only a.
bout quarter of the future
potential"
Farmers average a gross of
$3.50 per acre of cucumbers.
he said, although a number Of
them gross up to 5000 an acre.
while production expenses up
TO the time of harvest average
only $50 an acre.
Cucumber production is
peculiarly suited TO our small
family FARMS" he continued.
1T is a crop which is easy to
raise and to harvest. While the
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1963-04-17

cucumbers should be picked at
least every other day to real
ize the most from the crop,
there is nothing complicated
about the task and il can pro-
vide profitable employment
for every member of the fam
lily from small children on up.
In this way all the receipts
except the small expense fo-
seed and fertilizer are kept in
the family and represent net
profit.
Under contracts this year,
farmers will receive Sc per
hundredweight for No. l Gu
cumbers Chose up to l-l/l6
inches in diameter), SIPS for
No. 2'S (l-l/l6 to lh2 inches)
and 81 for No. 3's (from lia to
2 incheS). The farmer with
sufficient family labor can, by
picking every day, have a
much larger percentage of his
crop in the No. category and
realize prOportionately great
er return.
Currently, all of the states

cucumber contract acreage is
east of the Piedmont. l we
could get farmers and con-
tractors together for contract
acreage in the western part of
the state we could keep in
North Carolina income going
to states north of us after our
eastern producing season is
over. AT a conservative eSti-
mate the 10000 acres that
slipped through our fingers
this year would have meant an
additional S2i2 million in farm
income for eastern North Car
DINA farmers. Increasing 20
our full potential in all areas
of the state could mean adding
al least $50 million a year 20
North Cardinals cash farm i'll
come"
The commissioner pointed
out, however. that expanding
contract cucumber acreage,
particularly into near areas,
VIII require group action on
the part of farmers.
Buyers will not make con-
tracts unless they can get ut
least 100 acres Of cucumbers
in n receiving area. Many far
merS contract for only one
acre, some even less, as
source of supplementary in
come. Therefore, il is neceSS-
airy for farmers TO get togeth-
er and plan for this additional
source of assured income. Gu
cumberS can be grown suc-
ceSSfully on farm in any
part of the state that has some
acreage Of rich sandy loan.
We expect that in 1863
North Carolina will move from
second To first place among
the states in production Of
picking cuCumbcrs. This is
gratifying but certainly not
satisfying while such large
potential source of farm in
come Is left untapped.
Contract production of GU
cumberS and other vegetables
is one of the many new lines
which could make the differ
erencc between survival and
extension for many of our
small family farms. BY law.
all such contracts must DC
carefully checked by the State
Department of Agriculture.
which must also require bond
or other evidence of the con-
tractors financial ability tu
pay for the contracted produce
ton. Thus the farmer is aSsur-
ed in advance of a market fDr
his production at fair price"

Advanced TB

Discovery of an advanced

Intimate contacts of the
student, he said, have been
placed on drugs as a pre-
cautiOnary measure and, eX-
cept where parents object,
all students are geing given
the tuberculin test to ascer-
tain if they may have be-
come infected.
Testing was completed this
week, DIR. Ford said, but will
be repeated for those who
showed mildly positive re-
suits or more positive reac-
tons, he said, to see wheth-
er there is any increase in
the degree of reaction.
Students whose tests were
at all positive were X-rayed
at Loris Community Hospit-
al using hospital equipment
and Health Department film.
No additional cases have
been positively identified at
this time, DIR. Ford said.
