9Hp Barren Sri Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES. Editor ? DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN V/ARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER TI1E LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year. $3.00; Six Months $1.50 I J Statistics Misleading We doubt that the farmer is getting his fair share of the food dollar or for that matter of the national in come in the face of rising produc tion costs, but at the same time we realize that statistics in this re gard can be very misleading. A few days ago we opened a small can of fried potatoes and noted the weight was slightly over 3 ounces and the price 10$. At this figure the housewife is buying potatoes at the rate of around 50 cents a pound or $27 per bushel. Since the farm er probably received less than $2 a bushel for his potatoes, his percent age of the consumer dollar is very small. But the housewife bought more than potatoes; she bought cook ing, packing, convenience and the saving of time, all of which are no part of the farmer's contribution. Watching consumers at the check out point of grocery markets, one much be impressed by the amount of prepared foods sold. One sees chickens already cooked, only need ing to be heated; TV dinners, rolls in cans and in packages, needing only to be slipped in an oven; dress ed chicken, ready-prepared sea foods ? a boon to the working housewife, but all charged to the cost of food, when the real cost is in the preparation and packing of food. So when one measures the price paid for food?plus services?and compares it with the amount re ceived by farmers for the basic ingredients, statistics can be very misleading. It is like trying to fig ure the cost of steel by the price charged for a watch spring. Selling Seeds Of Destruction "We will either end the arms race or the human race"? quoted by Dr. Frank Porter Graham at commence ment exercises at John Graham High School Tuesday night. In an assessment of relative : strengths of Middle East nations : televised this week as the Arab : Israeli war intensified, a competent military analyist and respected : author, S. L. A. Marshall, noted that the nation of Israel, supplied jj largely with U. S. and English arma ??- ments, faced a formidable oppon ent in the tank squadrons of neigh y boring Jordan. The Arab Legions of Jordan, Gen ?- eral Marshall pointed out, are arm ed with American-made Pattpn r: tanks. Thus one can accurately surmise ;?? that although the United States has ? steered clear of actual military I involvement in the MiddleEast i War, much of the death and degtruc y. tion in the area is traceable to i American firepower. This country has not been guil ? ty of unilateral arms sales. Most of the large powers have been supplying their favorite camps with every imaginable device of war for p years. The avowed purpose is to f: perpetuate the balance of power in * all corners of the earth. The end % result has been a growing arms & race which has brought profit to the ? arms manufacturers and awesome k distinctive powers to nations whose | populations would be dwarfed by f North Carolina's. ? Unfortunately, as the world has f; found on more than one occasion, g but seemingly has learned on none, fe; the hand that sells the gun seldom * controls the trigger. It hasn't been too long ago that f. Americans learned that Pakistan's | forces were fighting Indian soldiers in a conflict that conceivably could have ignited an Asian holocaust. Each side was blowing the other i to pieces with weapons made in the United States. ? " M ml ? Anatole France's succinct obser vation that men do not die for their country, but for the Industrialists, will be valid as long as there is profit in war or in arms stock |P? piling. - Among the super powers, the arms race has built-in restraints; each side knows full well that the other, armed impressively from its own nuclear arsenal, can destroy this arms race among the small rers does not carry this re Somebow, the big powers convinced that by restrict restrict the area This is foolish logic. It is the same kind of reasoning which holds that our national security is strengthened by making our surplus weapons available to the highest friendly bidder. I Apparently the notion that guns bearing a "Made L. America" label kill only tyrants persisted after the war between India and Pakistan. If the conflict in the Middle East is terminated before it grows into a global slugfest, the great powers of this earth might do well to ponder why they continue to feverishly go about selling the seeds of their own destruction.

Howard Daniel, town dark and tax ad lector, has resigned Ms duties with the town Dr. Morgan WritePR A Tragic Shock In Ministry By DR. S. L. MORGAN I think tt was rather late In my 3 1/2 years In Little ton that an event occurred Hvar shook the quiet community from center to circumference and will go down in the his tory of the town. The Rev. Raymond Browning has been mentioned as an able and dy namic young minister, as principal of Central Academy, subject to the same board of trustees as Littleton College. It was understood that a part of his duty would be to col lect funds for the schools. He told President Rhodes, "Na turally, when I solicit funds, the givos will want to know 'Who wiU own the school pro perty?' What shall 1 say?" President Rhodes had stated widely that he had willed the property to an undenomina tional board of trustees. Pressed for further details, he confessed he had not had the wul recorded. He held it him self. Pressed further, he said frankly, "really that leaves the property mine; legally it's mine, morally it belongs to the board of trustees." And there it stood. The keen mind and con science of Browning de cided he could not continue his duty of collecting money in that situation. He stated these facts to faculty and students, declaring, "I'm forced to give up my place as academy prin cipal. Already I've Joined the faculty of the Bagley Baptist academy. I'm committed to helping some of my students fin anclally and otherwise. If any of them want to go with me to the Bagley academy, I offer them my help." It was a sensation, the more because he was able and mag netic. I have it in my diary that 37 boys left Immediately with him, leaving but a handful. Undeniably it was a cruel blow. It brought bitter feeling, and hard words on both sides. I hesitated to tell the sad story, even after 60 years. I tell the story in the hope that all bitterness has passed long since, and hoping even to help heal any wounds that may lin ger. une Knows that all the facts could not have been stat ed by one side without bias. And I declare my unshaken confidence in both Pres. Rhodes and In Browning. Through all the 60 years since I have believed firmly in the Integrity and the religion of each, both alike sincere, honest and godly. Pres. Rhodes made the deed (will) in good faith, with the firm intention of recording it and expected people to trust his good intention. And we can easily believe the astute Browning could feel rea sonably shocked into action: might not Rhodes die with the will unrecorded?or possibly change his mind? And those giving money were entitled to know beyond all doubt whose property they were giving to. I believe both "meant well." This statement seems worthwhile In the hope that it rfcay even after 60 years help some to believe in both Rhodes and Browning, and to plead tor charity and love "in spite of everything." Prof, and Mrs. Rhodes were really among the "builders" of a higher culture over a wide area, fruits of which are still in evidence, and will be for generations. Browning likely became a strong force for high Christian living, almost certainly helped to ward It by reflecting that there was a "more excellent way" than the way he took, which left a community embittered. The high type of godliness he preached almost proves tome he "had his lesson.*' ' I later attended two of his revival series, and his preaching impressed me deeply for the grasp he had of the doctrine of entire sur render and living without sin, really a high-grade doctrine or lioly living. As I listened to his pleading for alife above all sin, 1 could not but think of his hard act of attracting the boys away from the Meth odist academy and taking them with him to the Bagley aca demy, however strong his sense of duty in the matter. Doubtless he, too, often thought of it. Remembering how he and I had often sung together, he once tried to get me to help him as singer in one of his revivals. I regretted that I was not free to go. For I have known few men equal to him for a magnetism that was almost fascinating. Often we rise toward godliness and greatness because of blunders and sins that drive us in shameful recoil upward. I fancy this was true of his hard experience in Littleton, however he felt forced to do as he did. I valued his warm dynamic friendship. One day in my room, he stood looking at my books in the book case and said, "Morgan you have something I like." I was sure he meant some book; but he explained; "you love your peo ple, that's what I like." He couldn't have pleased me more. I left my dear Little ton and my people in the three churches, and after many years returned on a visit. I entered the Littleton church and walked down the aisle to ward the front, as I had done hundreds of times, the church filled with the people I had loved dearly; and athrill came to me: "H reunion In heaven is much greater than this, what glory it will be!" And I always pity the pas tor who doesn't really love his people and delight in their love in return.

"Earlier and more frequent resort to the procedures of the United Nations In certain crucial cases for (1) a cease fire; (2) withdrawal of outside military forces; (3) prepara tion for, and effectuation of, the self-determination of ap propriate people; (4) well planned large programs of technical assistance,eco nomic development, educa tion, health and welfare; and (5) the cease-fire, the with drawal of forces, the self determination of people and the humane programs, all to be under the auspices and supervision of the United Nations. "We desperately need to substitute 'the moral equiva lent of war' against mass miseries for the wars of killings and destruction which may lead to the end of the human race. We need to re turn more vigorously and hopefully to the concept of the one world of Woodrow Wilson, Cordell Hull, Lord Robert Cecil, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Wendell Wilkle. The one world became two worlds, then there develops a third world of uncommitted nations, and now a fourth world of the Southern Hemisphere of poverty and hunger. "It is true that the idea of one world begins at home, but without one world there may be no home In which to begin.

Harrison (Continued from page 1) found on the floor of the home1 by the victims. Chemical fertilizers and cleaning agents are also responsible for the peak number of accidental poisonings noted eacli spring. Each year there are near ly three thousand fatal and nonfatal poisonings caused by insecticides and pesticides * alone, Dr. Harrison said. Thirty percent of these occur In the one-to-five age group, with the most dangerous time being from one to two when the child is first able to get around the house and Into un locked storage areas, as In most other types of childhood accidents, boys are more oft en victims than girls. Dr. Harrison suggests the following rules be followed to prevent such accidents: 1. Use a locked cabinet or shed for storing poisonous materials. 2. Keep Insecticides and pesticides in original contain ers rather than in several small bottles in various parts of the home. 3. Don't put rat, moleor go pher poisons around a lawn or house where children could possibly get to them. 4. Make sure children old enough to understand are told of the danger In putting unknown substances in their mouths. 5. If a child should eat or drink a poisonous substance, phone your nearest hospital emergency room or poison control center immediately. Be ready to tell them what the child lias taken. . Dr. Harrison also suggest ed writing down the phone number of the emergency room, physician and poison control center serving your community and keeping them near the phone In case such an emergency should arise.
