C, PHONES: EDENTON 2688 ELIZABETH CITY 7813 | fore-runner of ahsolute socialism. | i The word subsidy has a deroga- j tory meaning and connotation;! I the prefix “sub” means below normal, sub-standard; the root t “sidere” means to sit down, so l that the Word literally means a . payment for sitting down on the • job and letting some one else pay i the bill or support. The purport ed purpose of the subsidy is to : equalize the difference between what the farmer gets for his crops and the price he has to pay for other than farm commodities, par ticularly the cost of machinery, resulting in the so-called farm price support, acreage allotment and what have you. Generally the honest farmer does not want it and actually those who do not need any help get most of it and the small farmer is left on the edge of the field looking at his crops. Then there is a great deal of so-called bamboozling of the government. For instance, it has been reported that the grains the government has bought on a pari ty basis and stored in the grain elevators gradually disappears; that wheat from Canada has been 1 imported and used as collateral THE CHOWAIt HERALD, EDENrON. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY DECEMBER It. IBM. , I for the price support program and ; the government is left holding the . j bag. Then there is the tremerr-1 ' 1 dous cost of storage for all of the commodities the government buys' ’ in; a great deal of it rots, a great! i deal of it disappears into the i night air and the government ! tremendous storage charges on all • of the commodities it has taken ■ in. Then there is the moral side i of the question. For years the i farmer has been the backbone of : the country, with a firmly de ■ veloped conservative character, in fact, the farms have furnished , this country with many an out standing forcible leader. The . subsidy program, in the opinion of your counselor, is debasing and weakening this character and un-1 dermining his independent per sonality. The two men who jn -1 fluenced your counselor more : than any other men, was a farm er and a fisherman. In the old days when the farmer followed i the plow, the harrow or hay rake, 1 or rode on a load of hay behind a ■ pair of oxen, he had time to think i and he really thought things out ; on a sound basis regardless of the i amount of schooling he may have had. The same with the old fashioned fisherman, who had time to think while waiting for the fish to bite. In the opinion of your counselor any subsidy program is morally corrupt; that subsidies create more evil and inequities than the inequity it was designed to correct. If the farmer needs help, give it to him in a normal way, such as unemployment re lief for the unemployed, and do not permit the richer to become richer and the poor poorer as a result of the subsidy, and prevent the trend toward socialism. Dear Three P’s: We have some friends who have done considerable traveling in the last year or two. They have taken a great many pictures on their travels and every oppor tunity they have these slides are shown. Is there any way of get-! ting out of looking at these pic- • tures without hurting our friends? Mr. and Mrs. K. Dear Mr. and Mrs. K.: This is really a question for Emily Post to answer, but I sym | pathize with you for I have been I For FrM Inspection Call 'Otto* HwOrkin Man ORKIN EXTERMINATING CO* lac. 3223 j WORLD'S LARGEST^ the victim of such entertainment ■ myself. Like all problems it has |an answer; bring it out in the . open, analyze it and do something about it. Undoubtedly your ;| friends had a good time on theif travels and enjoyed taking the , pictures; they also had in mind sharing some of their pleasures with their friends at home by ■ taking the pictures. In their en -1 thusiasm they overlook the fact : that pictures are not as interest irlfe to others as to 'themselves and i thus become a bore when they really think they are doing some| good. So the next time yourj : friends invite you to view their J pictures you take the bull by the j horns and invite your host for a | walk in the woods and then gent ly explain to him how much you have already enjoyed his pictures : but you have seen enough of them and how about going fishing. Af ter your host realizes the signifi ; cance of your remarks he will thank you.

In a study of last year’s ,fatal motor smash-ups, the department said that 539 of the 1,236 death-car drivers had behind the wheel experience of !11 or more years. Thus it is rea j sonable to believe that many of ! those victims died in “their first accident.” (Minutes Os Board 1 [ Os Public Works] Edenton, N.
