THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Martin County motorists di
rected a certain attack against
property, but. fortunately, took
no toll of life or even maimed or
crippled anyone There were sev
eral daring escapades including
a wild drive on Smithwick Street
near the high school, and anoth
er on Main Street in Wilham
ston. The number of accidents
was increased by four and the
property damage figure was
Jumped by $250 A year ago
there were four accidents and a
property damage placed at $250
At least the motorists are no
more reckless than they were a
year ago. but it is quite apparent
that safety is hardly more than
omething everyone talks about
does

Proposal To Control
1941 Peanut Acreage
(Continued from page one) ,
F
(intendment would mrun an increase
in the national peanut acreage al- ' o
lotment from 1.610.000 acres as now !)
proposed to 1.655.000 This extra 45.- |o
000 acres would take care of all dis | r
criminations against older producing 1
states, he believes. J p
Cuoley stated that the amendment I a
is being offered in accordance with
views expressed by North Carolina
peanut growers who attended hear
ings in Washington last week before
an agriculture subcommittee, and is
also in keeping with information re
ceived from other growers and or
ganizations in North Carolina. It is
hoped this amendment will gain the
support of Congressmen from other
peanut-pruducing states, since it
will not necessitate a reduction of
their quotas to remedy the situation
confronting older producing states
like North Carolina. The agriculture
committee hopes to receive a report
on the Pace bill from the agriculture
department within several days, af
ter which the full committee will
act on the measure.
Phis Week In
Defense
President Roosevelt signed emer
gency?legislation authorizing the
Navy to spend $909,000,000 to build
400 auxiliary vessels and to expand
shipyard, gun and armor production
facilities. The President also signed
a $313,500,000 appropriation bill to
finance the immediate construction
of 200 cargo ships. Maritime Com
mission Chairman Land announced
awards of contracts totaling $6,462,
500 for building 10 shipways to be
used in construction of these cargo
ships. The North Carolina Ship
building Company will build 6 ship
ways; the Alabama Dry Dock and
Shipbuilding Company, four.
Selective Service
The President issued an Executive
Order authorizing Selective Service
Director Dykestra to prescribe "work
of national importance" for conscien
itous objectors. The War Department
announced Private Ogden Delmar
Pinkerton has become^ the first sol
dier entering mliitary~service under

Price Increases
Commissioner Lubin, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, reported retail
costs of food increased 0.5 per cent
in large cities between December
17 and January 14. The advance was
"fuirly?general." Lubin said, for
meats, fruits and vegetables, sugar,
coffee and flour The effect of these
advances on wage earners' food pur
chases. however, was largely offset
by seasonally lower prices for eggs,
butter and oranges, Lubin said.

ae enjoyment of good sweet foods
r in other words chiefly party
aids.
For years it has been said, "Am
rican people average more than one
undred pounds of sugar per person
nnually" The greatest difficulty
bout this taste for sweets is that
instant vigilance is needed to keep
from playing havoc with looks
id health. The danger is not so
lUch in liking sweets as an over

ir them in our diet. Here are some
