Psige Eight THE PILOT, Southern Pines, No] WHEN IT RAINS IA Scotland County fanner finds comfort in the thought that when it? rains the grass grows. Not grass in the crops, hut green grass in his {features whepe fat cattle feed day by day and put on weight, which means a greater farm in come. So when the rains beat down upon the land, as they did last week. atM farm work is halt ed for a few days, this farmer frnds comfort in the thought that the grass is growing in his pas tures and that the cows are trans it Uting the, grass into cash, a process that has never been im- {troved upon. —Laurinburg Exchange WHAT ABOUT A CHILD? A Goldsboro woman was fined $f*0 and costs with six months {ti obalion after being convicted of violating the prohibition law. She also agreed with the court that her house may be searched tiereafter by law enforcement of ficers without a search warrant. That’s as far as the court went. Nothing was said about her small son who grabbed a pint bottle from a customer with tfee remark, “'Here comes the law,” except that the boy made the statement. Whether the Goldsboro City Court realizes it or not, the boy is being brought up in an environ- iiient' that can later lead to serious tiouble and a useless life. That boy is growing up. If at .3ome future date he should face a judge in Wayne County, he will i*e only partially responsible for any crime that he commits. —Raleigh News and Observer if OUR MOVE, UNCLE Now they’re whipping up a ma chine that will play chess. It isn’t finish^ yet,but we don’t doubt that it will be. It’s expected to beat human op{>onents at the game, and we don’t doubt that it will shame even the most expert, with scarcely a pause to collect its well-oiled wits. We are endlessly credulous. We are willing to believe the new su- irerCalculating machines can do I'Hactically all the things that niortals .do, short of writing a itcetii (a good poem, anyway) or a.sking themselves whether what diey’re doing is worth doing. We are ready to swear on a lie de fector that we welcome pushbut ton progress with an open mind and {joised forefinger. But we’d still rather play chess with Uncle Eustace. Write us down for old fogies. List us among those simple souls who would rather bat a ball around than follow televised home runs at home. • We don’t care. We like chess. And we like Uncle Eustace. Let them make another chess machine to beat the first chess machine, and while the precision parts click fco their predestined triumph we moves of a mere human being. —Christian Science Monitor oak to make way for the growth of more valuable trees. Similar things have happened before. There is always the danger that DDT and other insecticides may kill the bees as well as the des tructive bugs. Some crop dusting poisons have been suspected even in the death of children. We live in an age of poisons. Some of them are very valuable tools in increasing the productiv ity of our fields which might be damaged by a variety of pests. It is increasingly evident, however, that the users of such poisons must be required to know their dangers as well as their virtues. And nobody has a right to use for his own purpose a poison which may create as much menace as it removes. An age which regularly em ploys a variety of poisons must understand their dangers as well as their uses. And in such a time public authorities must be in creasingly vigilant to regulate all use of all poisons which may cause danger to people and ani' mals. Certainly those who use any of these new poisons should be held responsible for dangers to others caused by their use. - ‘—News and Observer. of events, for children and adults. I The word “Junior’ in its title means “unofficial’ and has no ref- .erence to the age or experience of I the exhibitors, according to word from Nick Crotty, Carolina Hotel sports director, who is in charge. I The average yield of late sum- jmer cabbage in North Carolina is estimated at 6.3 tons per acre. About 4,100 acres are being grown. A.GE OF POISONS The unexplained death of hun dreds of deer in forests through out the Southern States may have been caused, one official thinks, ) ty the use of poisons by conserva tion officials in removing scrub mammBmmmmmmmmmammm WEEKS There seems to b4 no limit to what an all-wise and patern2d government will do for its citi zens. We learn now that the Depart ment of Commerce has brought out a list of special “weeks,” to tell us that the number of weeks now being observed in this coun try is 270. The reason stated by the De partment for compiling this list is that it will help merchants to plan their sales campaigns to co incide with the 270 weeks. But, if the general public is as sick of weeks as the comment we hear indicates, the only week they will welcome will be the one celebrated April 1 to April 8, called “Let-us-alone week.” With at least one week set aside for the promotion of prac tically every product of the gar den, orchard, farm, dairy, ranch, and rabbit hutch, and one for every pet idea from posture to youth, one for every manufactur ed . product from juke boxes to washing machines, one for every animal from groundhog to the horse, and one for innumerable articles of clothing and for nearly all forms of business, industry, and the professions—with all these, the Let-us-alone week will be a welcome relief to be observ ed with utter silence and with a total absence of any kind of fan fare, street decorations, fireworks, or sound trucks. —Charlotte Observer Jumor Horse Show Postponed To Sunday The Junior Horse shew sched uled for Monday, the day after Christmas, in the riding ring of the Carolina hotel at Pinehurst was interrupted by rain shortly after it began, and will be held this Sunday instead.
