I To answer this question, J. G. I Allgoiad, a farm management specialist at N. C. State' Col-! I lege, J»ade some comparisons. , Fi«t, he found out that total cash'receipts from all comjjnodi-j ties -sdld were $968,3 lfsoo in | 1959 ’jjL comparison to $710,969,- 000 ih 1949. This increase came 1 abouStjdespite a 26 per cent re-' ductmn in tobacco acreage and, a sd.per cent decrease in cot ton acreage.

I Crane said the back pay- was received by 1,480 workers_after Labor Department inspections had revealed the under-pay ments. The payments were made by 466 employers. The minimum wage law, which! p became effective January 1, | 1960, requires employers to pay| at least 75 cents an hour to cov ered employees. First statute of its kind in the South, the law applies to most workers em ployed in North Carolina retail trade and service industries. Crane said 10,688 minimum wage inspections were made un der the law from Januarf .hrough November this year. About five per cent of the tmployers inspected were found o be violating the •nissioner Crane said. The bulk >f these violations were caused iy carelessness or ignorance con erning application of the stat ite, he added.

Economy Close to One Out of Every Five Persons Move In Year An insight into one of the fundamental characteristics of the American people and its in | vigorating influence on the econ | omy is presented by the U. S. j Bureau of the Census in its most i recent study of the mobility of the population during the post- World War II period. The record is consistent as well as spectacular. Motivated by the urge to better themselves and their standard of living, and stimulated by the broadening of opportunity provided by an ex panding economy, an average of close to one out of every five persons in the population moved yearly in the period, either to a new home, a new area, or ini many-eases a new environment., Over 10 Million Migrants I The total number of movers came to over 32% million per sons of all ages for the year ended in April of 1959, within a I half million of the record of 3314 million established in the pre vious year. The majority of these, some 22 million or about two out of every three, stayed close to their previous surround ings, but the other 10% million qualified as migrants in the Cen sus Bureau definitions by mov ing longer distances or crossing State lines, Some 5 sons Trioved from one Estate to another. One interesting result of this trend is that the person who stays put and continues to live in the old family homestead is apparently becoming a vanishing American. The Census figures show that fewer than one out of CARD OF THANKS I am taking this means to ex press my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the many deeds of kindness and expressions of sympathy during the long illness j and death of my husband, George W.

V ABUNDANT LIFT p| 1 ROBERTS THANKSGIVING IS STRENGTH The Bible says the joy of the Lord is your strength. The Bible also says, "Give unto the Lord glory and strength. . . . Sing aloud unto God our strength.” In the old days the army of King Jehoshaphat faced over whelming odds in battle. The king took his problem to God in prayer and received a surprising answer. He was instructed to select, not the strongest and best-trained soldiers, but the best singers. He was to place them at the head of the army, in advance of his fighters. The singers were to “praise the beauty of holiness, and say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.” What was the result? When the singers began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambush ments against the children of Ammon, Moab and mount Seir, and they were smitten. The army of King Jehoshaphat won a great victory. Praise was their strength. Before supplying the multi tudes with food to eat, Jesus “took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.” Before raising Lazarus from the dead, “Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.” Then Lazarus came forth. Sincere praise moves God to action. ■ every 10 persons in the popula tion has always lived in the same house. The figures and proportion here are heavily weighted by children and teen agers. For the adult population, [ those 20 years old and over, the proportion of those who had 1 never moved is little more than one per cent, or about one per- ' son in every 85. Population movements of such magnitude repeated year after ‘ year are an economic factor of I major significance, and by their ■ very nature impart a dynamic | quality to the entire economy and to our production and dis tribution process. Economic Side of Mobility I But mobility has not been con fined to people alone. It is evi dent in many areas of economic activity, particularly in the de centralization trend in business and industry, and in the flow of capital and investment funds from one part of the country to another in response to the move ment of population and expan sion of economic activity. These influences are ap- j parent in the regional’ trend of life insurance company invest ments in the last decade and their greater - than - average growth rates in the South and in • - ■ wuvwj jwwuw -u-inn-orr i-Lanj-Lru _-_n_rur Classified Ads BAD BREATH LOSES FRIENDS: . . .

W« carry a complete line d i ■ ■ ~ i Sincere thanks moves God to i action. Praise and thanksgiving are ; related. How good God is to be moti vated by our very praise and . thanksgiving, and to decree that , our strength should be our 1 praise and our thanksgiving! So , great is our assurance of the \ goodness of God that we give [ thanks before receiving and the . very thanksgiving sets in motion . God’s power to bring our needs into being. Thanksgiving is an element , of faith, for faith is believing before seeing. Expressing ’ thanks before receiving is be lieving. Yet, it is more than be lieving; it is gratitude of the 1 highest degree. 1 It is significant that some of the greatest miracles performed on earth by Jesus were preceded ’ by his giving praise and thanks giving. 1 The Lord delights in the strength of His children, and where is the strength of His children? Is it not in their praise ’ and in their thanksgiving? Giv | ing thanks after receiving a \ blessing is good, but giving ’ thanks before receiving a bless * ing is strength. It is this strength which is the 1 joy of the Lord. 5 The blessings of God are new c every morning. Let the Lord rejoice in your thanksgiving (your strength) every morning. > Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord. the West. As is to be expected, mobility is a decidedly greater character istic of youth than it is of the older ages. In the 1958-59 pe riod, for example, about one out of every three persons between 20 and 34 moved, a proportion more than twice that of any of the other adult age groups. The search for employment is like wise a significant mobility fac tor. Regionally, the mobility rates were highest in the West and lowest in the Northeast.
