C. at set-end claaa mall matter. Don't foil to go out ami vote oil' the Crop Control bill Saturday. . The only reason we. don't run the.pietmvs.-ot' all >u di gested or possible candidates is we don't have their pictures in printable form. Regardless of whether you are for or against the < lop Control Hill you should go out and vote Ssitur.lay. It's your duty to yourself and your neighbor. Among those who have been suggested the past wvek other than as mentioned previously or elst. \vh.iiv are W. E. Beddingtield for SheritY. and Carey C. IViry for Cor oner. Both of these are among Franklin's best citizens and would, no doubt, make splendid oftkials. The TIMES has Won requested to eall attention to the necessity of a Ball Park for Loilisburg. As, it now is the smaller boys of ihe town have no place to play ball, and naturally the larger ones have no plaee. It seems this would be a splendid .means to furnish good healthful amusement and exercise for our growing boys and our "grown" boys. This eould easily be accom plished by converting the graded sehool' grove into a park. In addition to this feature converting this grove into a park would furnish amusement to our entire pop ulation. it would assure its being kept clean, would build an interest and contact in the school, serve to protect the school property and be the means of eliminating a lot of immorality practiced on the grounds during the night hours. Lets make it a park, give the boys a place to play ball, furnish a wholesome place of amusement for others and improve our town. HIGHWAY SAFETY Assistant director Konald Hocutt. of tlie Highway Safety Division, who was in Louisburg tin- weefcin the interest of Highway Safety Week, stated that ini 1037 there were 1J23 killed in highway accidents, a large per centage of this number being pedestrians, and T.WMi in juries. These figures are entirely too high and can be reduced, and almost eliminated by the proper precau tion of both drivers and pedestrian*. Let's make our highways safer. RECKLESS Tin* editor saw, on Sunday afternoon al the intersec tion of Halifax road and Main Street, a roadster auto mobile pass at an exceedingly high rate of speed. This was especially dangerous and reckless at any point much les> at a street intersection, as it would have been al most impossible ior the two~ young men driving the ear to have stopped it in an emergency. And it-is usually an emergency when a wreck and a death or injury oc curs. A slower speed and, more regard for the safety of themselves and others would be much better. IS THE CUSTOM MISPLACED ? Recently we overheard a citizen preparing to pay a compliment to a friend who had done something well preface his compliment with the statement, "1 don't like to compliment one to their face." In this instance the speaker was seriously sincere, but wasn't his posi tion misplaced? It is a habit we all have fallen into, and used too many times. The reason of this posi tion in most cases is good, but doesn't it represent a misconception in life, is^'t it bad policy. When one has done his best and has done well enough for others to take notice alid make favorable comment, isn't it best to go to him, slap him on the shoulder and say "Good for you old boy, you have done so and so well, I congrat ulate you.'' Wouldn't it make him feel better and wouldn't it be an incentive to better efforts in the fu ture. Life at best is only too strenuous and contains top many heaftaches and blues. Isn't it better to put thje flowers in one's pathway while He is living than to wait for his mound and then say "What a good fellow he was 1" THE NEW BUILDING BOOM With the Government at Washington using all the means at its command to stimulate home building, it seems to be on the cards that the long-looked-fer build ing boom will soon be under way. Indeed, it has start ed now in many parts of the nation. Government stimulation of building takes four differ ent forms. There is the construction of Federal build ings* which has been going on for several years at a tre mendous pace. There is building by states and munici palities with the aid of P.WJL loans. But those are pnblie or Mmi-publio structures, and in their, entirety they cannot take op all the slack in building trade un employment or production in the building supply indue li ies. Only building enough new homes to provide moti on) housing tor everybody can do that. The two Federal bureaus engaged in promoting home building operate on different lines, though they are of ten contused in the public mind. The l\ S. Housing Administration is concerned with providing better homes tor the very poor, on a semi-philanthropic basis, with states and municipalities cooperating with the Fed eral Government in supplying the funds. This is often referred to as the "slum-clearance" program. The Federal Housing Administration, 011 the other hand, does not give or lend any Government money, but provides a means of "insuring private capital against Loss if it lends money on long and easy terms to individ uals who want to buy or build new homes. Under the enlarged F.H.A. plan, anyone with $500 in cash or land can borrow from his bank or building asso ciation enough to pay for a $5,000 home and lot, and have as long as 25 years to repay the loan at ,5 per cent interest. This ought to start a new wave of home build ing and home owning.

That's ^hat it cost C. T. Webb. Durham. North Carolina, per day to produce 159 gallons of sweet milk. 200 gallons of buttermilk * and 190 pounds of butter for his | family from one cow last year, j These products had a total mar- ? ket value of $175. In addition, be ' sold S4S 31 wortt of milk and butter, a grand total of $223.31 from the one animal. The expense .in keeping the cow was $51.9!*, j lost S3. 63 more than the value of milk and butter sold. Thus the ar- : t uRl cost of ^he cow to the famllv for 3?5 days was ?J.?3. t. , This is concrete proof that more Southern farm families can afford t? keep milk cow*.
