Monday, May 22, 1950 Form Tours Are Good Educotion On Friday, June 2, an educatoinal farm tour will be conducted in Wilkes county. The Extension Service, PMA, Soil Conservation Service and other farm agencies will cooperate with the Agricultural committee of the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce in staging this event. ' # Today the P. M. A. conducted a tour, viewing demonstrations of P. M. A. benefits and enjoying a program of entertainment. * These farm tours are of much benefit i from an educational standpoint. The demonstrations show what has been accomplished. It will not be second-hand information because "Seeing is beleiving." The farmers on the tour will have the opportunity to find out what other farmers in their own county are doing. The business men will get a clear view of progress being made on farms of Wilkes, and will have a better understanding of the tremendous importance of continuing progress in agriculture. In the tour June 2 will be farmers, chamber of commerce members, civic leaders, business and professional men, and extension specialists to explain results and show others what has been accomplished on the farms to be visited. It is easy to talk to people about something, but it is far more convincing to h&ve something to show while talking. Demonstrations are visual education of the most effective type. All who want to enjoy a day of fellowship and education should make it a point to be in the farm tour June 2. I* _— o —:—* Bond Fund Drive On Here This Week This week The North Wilkesboro highschool band Boosters Club is accepting contributions for the band fund for the coming year. It has been estimated that the band will need in the coming year about $4,000 for uniforms, instruments, equipment and supplies. A band, is a splendid advertisement for any community. A good band makes a good and lasting impression at every appearance. It typifies community pride and progress. During the pa"§t year the band made 26 public appearances, which represents much activity. A band has no source of income other than from public spirited citizens who wish to see it progress. o — SATAN THE IMITATOR 1. King Alcohol is my Shepherd; I shall always want! 2.

(Isa. 41:13). From England comes the story of a three-year-old boy who had to undergo an operation to save him from becoming totally blind. The father was allowed to accompany his child to the operating room. The little fellow wa§ extremely nervous and his body was quivering as he laid on the table. He called out tq his father, "Daddy! Daddy! Won't you stand beside me? Will you hold my hand?" ^ Then the father took the child's hand and the quivering ceased, tjie nervousness abated. "Daddy," he said, "I'm not afraid now." Then turning to the doctor he said, "Doctor, go on now. I am not afraid!" The future of all of us is uncertain. Our minds may be filled with forebodings and fears. Extreme difficulties may actually be facing us. But if we can get hold of that old promise given us by the prophet long ago, and make it our own, and htear our Heavenly Father say to us, "I the Lord will hold thy right hand, saying uAto thee, Fear not; I will help thee," then, like this child, we can say to whatever faces us, "Go ahead, I'm not afriad!" There is comfort in these lines by an unknown writer: "It isn't that I cling to Him and struggle to be blessed, He simply takes my hand in His, And there I let it rest. "We lift our hands in wonderment when unlikely things come true, But would it seem so wonderful if our Father's heart we knew?" If we could only get it into our heads that God has great plans for us if we will accept Him as our LoiM and follow those plans. Another old prophet gave us this promise from God, "For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end (a future and a hope). Then shall you call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. Ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, said the Lord." (Jeremiah 29.) And now, before you go to sleep tonight reach out your hand and place it in that of your Heavenly Father. o : LIFE'S BETTER WHY J WALTER E. ISENHOUR High Point, N. C., Route 4 AN UNFAIR DEAL So many people seem to think They've had in life an unfair deal, And that's the reason why they sink Where failure seems so very real; Therefore they fold their puny hands And cross their feeble knees and sigh, And never think of noble plans By which to live, achieve and die. No doubt the mighty men of earth Who've climbed to highest peaks <Jf fame, Were only men of common birth, Who didn't any greatness claim, And as they journeyed through the years Were dealt some hard and heavy blowd, But they resolved, though faced by fears, They'd forge ahead in spite of foes. What if somebody's done you wrong, Or laid across your path a stone? Gross over with a prayer and song . And don't lay down to weep and moan; For therp's a place you ought to fill, A height in life you ought to reach; Then be a man of dauntless will And set examples that will teach, v You may have had an unfair deal At home, in church, or in the school, But if to God you'll humbly kneel, And measure to His Golden Rule, And set your soul for higher tilings Than those who geek to hold you down, You'll climb far higher up than kings Who only wear an earthly crown.

At the eloee «f the meeting the hostesses served tempting refreshments.—Reported by Mrs. J. M. Bentley. O T Water Wasters Must Pay Heavy Fines Elm City, May 11—It's now against the law to waste water in water-short Elm City. The three wells which supplied this town of 1,000 persons went dry several days ago. Last night the board of aldermen passed an ordinance making it illegal to waste the precious liquid. For 'a first offense the fine would be $10, for a second $15, : — £ , , Jtene-w Concert Membership, . . ■ ; — ' » i, ' ' ■■ 1 ■ - ' "il ■ i a — according to » a study recently completed by the [Experiment Station and I ' — eprinted From The Charlotte News, April 17, 1950 ; The Homers don't waste a minute in their campaign to let all the people of the Eighth Congressional District know that the Sanford publisher is in the race. This picture of Mr. and Mrs. Horner was taken as they sat in their basement campaign headquarters preparing political information for mailing^, . Profile Of A Candidate BILL HORNER AND MISSUS WORK HARD IN THEIR 8TH DISTRICT FIGHT By ASHLEY SMITH State Editor, The News S AN FORD.—W. E. Horner expects to, emerge victorious in his race to become Representative from the North Carolina Eighth Congressional District. He expects that victory to be pulled from his basement, not from his hat. Spurred by a 353-vote defeat by incumbent Rep. C.-r B. Deane of Rockingham in the 1946 Democratic primary, the Sanford publisher is taking his politicking seriously. And if he does win, his wife is going t o be the unsung heroine of the campaign. Because in her way Mrs. Horner is matching her 48year-old husband step for step in his fight to go to Congress. TROJAN HORSE The Trojan Horse which houses that effort is the basement of their home in Sanford. The clatter of typewriters and the ringing of a telephone have replaced? the usual carefree noises of 'the basement. For it is here that Mrs. Horner does the homework while her campaigning husband is out doing the leg work. Mrs. Horner directs the activities of from three to five typists and letter-folders each day. Together they put out more than 1,000 circulars and 300 individually written letters each eight hours. This is a job that has been going on a month, while Mr. Horner canvasses the 12 counties of the District making personal contacts. In many places he uses a string band to get attention, draw the crowd. After I get them there it's up to me to do the rest," he says. "I give it to them in easy doses— between the musical numbers." One of the first things "Bill" Horner will tell at one of his meetings is the reason he is running for Congress. He says it simply: "I believe that the people of the Eighth District are.desirous of a Representative who vill vote differently on some of the important issues other than the way the man they have is doing." Then he'll talk on the things he'll be out to accomplish if *elected to Congress: , 1. Aii end to deficit spending. 2. Holding the line against the Federal Government going further into the socialistic field. 3. Defeat of the Brannan Farm Plan, but adequate farm controls to insure the farmers getting their fair share of the national income; 4. Defeat of the FEPC; 5. Bring about fair labor'practices. When Mr. Horner levels his sights on the mounting Federal debt, he has only one thing ih mind —cutting it down. This he proposes to do by decreasing expenditures, not by increased taxation. He says he is not presumptuous enough to claim he can balance the budget, but he will "carry to .Wash-1 ington the attitude that Federal ex-j penditures can be cut without increasing the already confiscatory tax load." The arguments Mr. Horner presents in support of his ideas all tie in together. His attack on deficit spending is directly related to his offense against "socialistic trends" in the government which in turn includes his denunciation of the Brannan Plan and socialized medicine. He speaks of them categorically wherThe say£ What I want is for the people to come to realize that this stripedstick candy business of going: to Washington, a place from ^vhich all financial blessings are supposed to flow, can't go on forever. CANT LAST "The people must realize that all the money that goes to Washington comes from the individual citizens. This enormous deficit spending obviously can't last forever. "If we keep on going like we're going nothing but a financial bust can help but come. And when it does, then who can we, being the last free nation on the face of the earth, turn to for help as England has turned to us?" He values the "American system of private initiative and individual enterprise" highly. Mr. Horner hangs the "Socialistic" label on the Brannan Plan. He believes too much regimentation, too many regulations are involved. WIPE CONTROL The Brannan Plan, he says, not only would control the amount of each crop the farmer could grow, but also control the amount of poultry, swine and cattle the farmer could produce. To him the present parity plan— which controls acreage of only such major crops as tobacco, cotton and wheat—is a more satisfactory solution. Continuation of parity plus "the Government calling in the best farm brains" obtainable to work out other solutions to the perplexing farm problem of hot? the farmer can get his share of the national income" is "Bill" Horner's idea of a farm program. Mr. Horner disposes of FEPC with a fleeting sentence: "I wouldn't vote for it under any conditions." Mr. Horner describes himself as a "middle of the road liberal who doesn't believe in going too far— either way." . SOLVE ITSELF That defhition carries over to socialized medicine and labor. He thinks the medical care problem will do a great deal toward solving itself. He doesn't believe a showdown is in the offing here. Similarly about labor: "I am in favor of the working man and my record in six terms in the State Legislature proves I am his friend. However if I go to Washington it definitely will not be as the tool of the CIO or other labor organizzations, nor yet as the too] bf industry. "I am not in favor of labor racketeers coming down to North Carolina and telling our people what do to and what not to do. "I am against the monopoly powers of labor leaders like John L. Lewis. I believe, in the end, the coal miner himself will come to the same conclusion since Lewis and his tactics have wrecked what was once a great industry by driving away coal consumers to other industries, thus destroying the means of livelihood of the miners themselves." '' 7" VET NEWSPAPERMAN "Bill'' Horner is a Durham County native, and a University of North Carolina graduate. Since he was 12 he has carried the stain of printer's ink in his veins, first as as delivery boy and later mail room work, proof desk jobs, cub reporter and telegraph editor. He has built The Sanford Herald's circulation from 50 to almost 5,000 and given it the reputation of being one of the'best non-daily papers in the state. He broke into politics by being elected to the State House of Representatives in November, 1936. He has attended two special sessions and four regular onea. With the exception of the 1939 term, he served continuously from '36 through 1946. In 1946 Mr. Horner ran for CongTess against Mr. Deane. He suffered defeat by a margin of 353 votes. Mr. Deane polled 18,649; he had 18,296. His only connection with politics since then has been as chairman of the Lee County Democratic Executive Committee, and writing about them' as a newspaperman.
