Senator
Sam Erwin
Says....
Washington - There appears
w be Increasing evidence that
the people of this country are
being Jolted Into the reali
zation that there Is a limit
ation on the amount of money
that we can continue to pour
overseas. The hue and cry Is
now going up to save the dol
lar.
Sanity Needed - In the rush
to spend overseas, the country
I almost lost Its sanity as the
result of great pressures
built up to justify the need
for ever -increasing foreign
aid spending. This 1 have wit
nessed on numerous votes in
the Senate where It was un
popular to call a check on
?foreign aid spending. Now It
is generally to the point that
the dollar crisis Is very real.
We need the courage and san
ity to stand up on this Issue
and demand that others help
? share the cost of the burden.
While we were supporting
freedom around the world -
a noble goal - It created a
threat of great proportion to
_ our domestic economy. We
have, when the truth is known,
done far more than our share.
Moreover, it Is time that we
faced the problem squarely
and quit being led into pov
erty by some who fall to
realize that there is a limit
to the amount of dollars
available.
Trade Barriers - While this
nation has been lowering its
trade barriers, many nations
that have been the beneficiary
of our spending have been e
.. rectlng higher barriers. So It
is with encouragement that 1
look upon recent developments
which indicate thatour country
Is now alert to the problem
and that our friends abroad
are understanding our pro
blem. We should be able to
save a good deal of money by
cutting down our share of the
burden forthwith.

ASC NEWS
By L. L. Klsselburg
ASC County Office Manager
There was never a better
time to make a small forest
pay
That Is the first answer
every private and government
forrester give those who ask
about opportunities in wood
land. But the big question Is
whether timber prices will
still be favorable when your
trees are ready to sell. Tim
ber is scarce in almost every
part of the world. High qua
lity timber supplies are par
ticularly short, and forestry
experts say the situation will
become even tighter during the
next 10 to 20 years.
Trees grow slowly, but pop
ulation is soaring and average
Incomes are rising. The need
for new houses and other tim
ber uses is increasing rapidly.
Economists predict the de
mand for timber will double
by the year 2000. Tree prices
should be favorable at lease
that long, and likely longer.
State andUSDAStudles show
(he average farm wood lot
could return 2 to 3 times as
much Income, with proper
management. Your goal should
be to sell the maximum num
ber of trees and degree of
quality. That takes, proper
thinning, replanting, disease
and Insect control, marketing
and fire protection. It is ad
visable m plant trees on land
that Is subject to errosionand
areas that are hard to work,
such as gullies, and corners
in the field. Trees generally
should not be planted on level
land unless you know that you
?re no longer going to pro- ?
duce crops such as vegetables,
corn. etc.
The value of good dmber
land Increases faster than
bare land. Government aid to
small woodland owners comes
through furnishing technical
advice and planting stock and
through sharing forestry work
coat. Your local forrester Is
trained to give free, on the
farm recommendations for th<
moat profitable type products,
?elections of trees for cutting,
aales practices, improvement
of remaining atand and etc.
The Cherokee County ASC
Committee have the tree
planting practice among their
ACP practices that coat shar
ing is approved for. If you de
cide that you are going to
plant trees in 1961 and will
want the ASC Oiflce to help
share in the cost, you should
Inquire at the office and let
the county office personnel ad -
vise you before you plant.

Minimum Wage
Brings $45,368 Back
Pay To NC Workers
Raleigh - Back wages tot
aling $45,368.03 were paid to
Tar Heel workers under the
State's new Minimum Wage
Law during the first eleven
months of 1960, State Labor
Commissioner Frank Crane
reported.
Crane said the back pay was
received by 1,480 workers
after Labor Department in
spections had revealed the
under - payments. The pay
ments were made by 466 em
ployers.
TTie Minimum Wage Law, <
which became effective Jan.
1, 1960, requires employers to
pay at least 75 cents an hour
to covered employees. First
statute of its kind in the South,
the law applies to most work
ers employed in North Car
olina retail trade and service
industries.
Crane said 10,688 minimum
wage inspections were made
under the law from Jaiuary
through November this year.
About five percent of "the
employers inspected were
found oi be wolating the law.
Commissioner Crane said.
The bulk of these violations
were caused by carelessness
or ignorance concerning ap
plication of die statute, be
added.
Ninety-five percent of all
Inspected employers were
found in full compliance with
the minimum wage. Crane
stated.
"Such a record of nearly
total observance of the law
during its first year of opera
tion is a heartening tribute
to the good will and good sense
of most North Carolina em
ployers," declared Crane.
"At the time this law was
cnactad, I voiced my confi
dence that the alert and fair
minded employers of North
Carolina would adjust to its
requirements without serious
difficulty. Our experience with
the law this year baa proven
(hat confidence to hare been
well fowled."
