GARDEN TIME Mj M. E. GABDNBB N. C. State OdOtft . -How would you like to buy Ken tucky Wonder pole bean seed which tested only eight-per, cent germi nation? A sample was brought to me a short time ago with the explana tion that "three plantings have been made with no results." I sent a sample to the Seed Laboratory and received the report mentioned above. I was given the seed source and immediately called the president of the company. Hte thanked me and stated, "I will remove alt seed from sale and send a simple to the Seed Laboratory for official test". He did this becausc the sample I sent in was considered a "service test" rather than an ''of ficial test". The attitude of th<s seedsman is EXPERT RADIO ft TV REPAIR Harper's Radio ft TV Repair S ml.

I do not know of any phase of agriculture which requires as mjch care in product ion and handling than does the seed industry. So many things can happen: m'xtures, disease, improp er cleaning and storage, and rough handling. You would be surprised how rough handling of snap and pole beans affect the germination of Uie seed. This brings up the question of saving your own seed of some of the vegetable crops. If you have been successful, then I would cot want to influence you one way or the other but you are taking a chance of getting in trouble. I would prefer to buy fresh seed each year from a Reputable seeds man because cf the protection yo i are assured. Every now and then your seedman may get a bad lot back to the producer of the seed and at the same time protect you on your purchase. Buy the best! Cheap seed'is always the most ex pensive. The highest egg money states are those that produce more than they eat in the state. Good farmers always plan ahead.

MURPHY ELECTRIC POWER BOARD ^ / (tollman's Views Editor's Note? This is the eigh teenth in a series of articles by Hienz Rollman, industrialist, Way aesville, N. C. Our technological progress in the last 50 years has certainly been much more drastic and dramatic than has been our men+al progress and our mental evolution. Where in the life of a person, or even in the lives of a family, can you tee in one generation s ich a vast men tal progress or such a tremendous change for better understanding, and such a complete inner change as you see it around you in the technical field every minute. Let's looir at just a fe-v samples: Look o n c e at what the >nven tion of steam niis done to our way of 1 i f e. It was a revolution. a technical revolution of major im portance. It has changed every thing around us practically over night. But there is nothing in our mental, in our inner and in our moral life, that has ever made such a vast change so fast. Or take the inventio-i of television cr radio, or the electric light bulb. These have been dramatic advan ces. They have chined our lives in a way which we hardly realize, but we, as people, even though we might have reasons also to change, naturally cannot poss:bly change at such speeds, nor can we change so violently. I believe that we have to realize lh> t even though the technical charges which hivo come about in the last 100 years have been abso lutely incredibic, ihey will rot <?.' ft mankind as well as they could and should unless we, the people, also start to change with them. By our very nature as hu man beings, we are lagging behind in our inner evolutions, compared to the technical revolution. We have been unusually fortu nate in our country to absorb the technical progress in a very good way by balancing things out, by making the poor people richer, and the rich people not much poorer; by distributing the wealth in a fair way; by giving medical atten tion and, therefore, better health to all people in our country. We have this gift and, naturally, we are grateful and we are thankful. But there is one aspect of our life where we have lagged behind in a bad way, and that is in our rela tionship with the rest of the world. Granted, a world whicn, not under standing us, is only too ready to envy and .to reject us, but that doesn't mean we should stop mak ing an effort, for many lives are at stake one of these days if we don't get the rest of the world around to our thinking. We, as people, must make it our business to see to it that we have a Congress in Wash ington which will put enough em phasis on our relations with the rest of the world; a Congress which has sufficient knowledge and backgroun to accomplish this.

HUGHES & SON Vorpfcy, N. a Pfcooe V* 7-971t Alcohol and Wheels Still Don't Mix < By 'BILL CROWELL The old drinking song with the line In It that goes "Show me the way to go home," is advice pretty well ignored each month by a boat of drivers smitten with too many nips. At least that's the picture Indi cated by Motor Vehicles Depart ment records of license revokahle traffic offenses. They are always top-heavy with drunk driving con vicltions, an offense that rates a mandatory surrender of legal driv ing privileges. Last month for example, 789 drivers found themselves foot-pro pelled after failing to convince the judge they had had "only two beers." Repeaters, with convic tions ranging up to six and even seven offenses, ususally swell the monthly total to over 1000. The driver's license of such offenders is permanently withdrawn, incident ally. Other records show that drinking at the wheel has serious conse quences other than loss of driving privileges. It leads too often to ac cidents, many of them fatal. In fact, of the 960 death-dealing highway mishaps last year, 358 of them were attributed to drivers "obviously under the influence." Even distillers and distributors of potables agree tin the admoni. tion "Don't drive and drink!" State troopers, who have ar rested nearly 5000 drunk drivers so far this year, are even more em phatic. "However, it's not the falling down drunk who creates the great est hazard," says Col. James R. Smith, patrol commander. "It's the fringe drinker, the social drinker, who is by far a bigger menace to traffic safety than the ordinary drunk." In most cases pedestrians and other motorists are forewarned by the obvious symptoms displayed by heavy-handed drinkers. But, on the other Hand the social drinker may go undetected until he makes a miscaluclation at the wheel. "Unfortunately, too few people realize that just one drink can be enough to noticably impair judg ment," Col. Smith said. "Alcohol even in small quantities cuts down on vision, judgment, muscular ef ficiency, and reduces the accuracy and speed on normal reaction. And all of these factors are vital In the safe operation of an automobile." In addition, alcohol produces that familiar "glow" which, in turn, often lures drivers into tak iing spectacular chances in traffic. If a drinking driver is taken off the road before he causes an ac cident, troopers say a life is us ually saved. Col. Smith has a three-point pro gram for protecting lawful drivers against the drinking driver. His standing orders for the 581 troop ers of the highway patrol are to "dectect, arrest and jail" imbib ing drivers Who are obviously cre ating a hazard as they go. Wanted Experienced WAITRESSES NO PHONE CALLS Tracy's Restaurant MUSTARD SEEDS By KEV. JAMES J. WILKES "The smallest of all seeds; bat when it grows, it is larger *?? any herb!" (Mt. 13,31) BLESSED FAILURE An ancient Chinese philosopher, Vang Ming, once said, "The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is a blessing. They be lieve,- rather, that the great virtue of man lies in his ability to correct his mistake and continually to make a new man of himself". Was not this also the mind of the greatest Sage, Jesus Christ? Even tho' Peter had denied him, with an oath yet, despite the special prayer of Christ for him (Lk. 22, 31), still Jesus after rising from the dead, singled him out, sent a message to "the disciples and Peter" (Mk. 16, 7); and after Peter's threefold pro fession of love, entrusted him with the souls for whom He had died: "Feed my sheep". Jo. 21, 17. Most people have a mortal fear of making a mistake. But more often than not, the reason is not a very noble one. It is usually based n human respect: the fear of be ing misunderstood or ridiculed by others. Those who are dominated by such a fear seldom do anything ef cept take care of themselves? and frequently they fail at that. This latter was well expressed by a far mer who was being pestered by a book salesman. The boring sale talk ended with: "There never was such a book printed with as much on farming and you can buy it for only $4. 95. Do you want it". "Nope." Replied the farmer. "But why not?-' asked the sales man. "I don't need no book because I ain't farming half as good as I know how right now!" If we are honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we are not making use of the talent God gave us. Why do we not fear the Lord's judgment. "Take away, therefore, the talent from him." (Mt. 25, 28) Let us resolve never to reject a challenge to do good or help another: if we succed, let us thank God for the knowledge that we possess a talent we never re cognized; ilj we fail, we can join Jesus in Gethsemani with His words, "Father, let this cross pass; but not my will but thine be done." As His failure was turned into victory, so will ours be by grace; and our example will help others who have made bigger mis takes. "Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me." I Cor. 12 9. This is the critical time for con trolling weeds and grasses in strawberry beds.
