"(Pur" Hub Repri'ient* Hitb Robert Kkv Reynolds. disgustingly referred to just a short time ago as "Our Bob. turns out to be his own Bob. While he is not to be denied his personal rights even in opposing legislation contrary to the wishes of a vast majority of his constituency, he has no right to act contrary to the views of the people wiio pay his salary. It is apparent that "Our" Bob is representing few others but himself. Robert Rice Reynolds has proved himself un worthy to be called a United States Senator. Just as Representative Withrow said in the North Carolina General Assembly last Satur day, Robert R Reynolds has disgraced the peo ple of this State When the poor candidate came to this county in his first campaign, he held nothing but mock an old worn-out automobile while luxury was provided in his Asheville home, Reynolds came t< this county an 1 while an innocent mob pack ed the courthouse, he purposely delayed his ap pearance Reliable reports state that he stop ped to chat with personal friends and to take a drink, behind a door that separated him from his unsuspecting admirers. Never before have the voters of Martin County and North Caro lina had the wool pulled so completely over their eyes. Today, very few people will admit that they fell for the cheap "stuff" Bob Rey nolds pulled in this county and in"other coun ties during that campaign. They will admit, however, that they are without representation in the United States Shnate, the actions of Bob Reynolds reflecting upon the good people of North Carolina While drawing a big salary from the com mon treasury he is preparing and distributing a propaganda sheet called "The Vindicator." Identifying his brazen picture in the sheet, numbers of local people subjected to free sam ple copies last week-end cluttered the waste basket m the postoffice-with the paper While it may be possible but not likely in the face of the facts that the people of North Car olina are wrong in urging all aid for Britain, it is a well "established fact that they do favor aid to the British and Bob Reynolds or no other representative has a right to act contrary to those wishes. Bob Reynolds, not to mention his last brazen stand, has done enough in times gone by for the people to pick him up by the nape of the neck and kick him out of the Sen ate, yes, even out of this country into the lap of his barbarian friend. Adolf Hitler. Rational Debt The National Debt limit has been arbitrarily fixed at sixty-five billion dollars?for the pres ent. at hast. Strange as it may seem, the new limit was fixed and there was little howling about it. Just a few months ago when the na tional debt was being increased to feed the hungry and down-trodden millions, there was much said about the debt. Debt, debt is going to gobble us up. And maybe it will. But a debt created in ttie- name of suffering humanity will not gobble us up any quicker than one create'd to prosecute war. It has been' reliably pointed out that a 200 billion dollar debt will cause no greater strain on our economy than Britain has suffered un der her fifty billion dollar debt. Even though this may be true, we are still against debt. But NOT when debt is necessary to feed suffering humanity or when it is necessary to head off such mad men as Hitler and Mussolini. Could it he that those who opposed the crea tion ol debt for suffering humanity were against it because they were not suffering and are now 111 favor of going deeper into debt because they too are in the direct or indirect path of barbar ism. Those who are still opposed to an increasing debt won't find any consolation in reading the news now coming out of France. The French could have built thousands of tanks and bomb ers for a much smaller sum than the 144 bil lion francs they will have paid for German oc cupation But France was slow in getting ap propriations. slow in turning appropriations in to production and slow in turning production into action. And that is about what the United whinning about the national debt and block ing progress there. 4 tool IUIIinn lor Amusements Americans speut more than one billion dol lars in 1929 for amusement. Add to that the enormous crime cost, the many millions spent for liquors, pleasure cars and other items and one wonders how the worth-while things in life are financed. The figures recently released do not include money spent in night clubs, on golf courses and for toys and gadgets that clut ter up the house. Americans spend almost $41, 000,000 on horse racing, nearly $39,000,000 for pool and $14,000,000 in dance halls, to mention a few of the outlets. In the South Atlantic States more money is spent each year than the amount required to operate the State of North Carolina Little wonder it is that the church, the civic organizations and even general business have to repeat their appeals for support, for it is quite apparent that after we finance our amuse ment programs, keep up our pleasure cars, gam ble, and partake of the spirits and finance oth er questionable habits there is little left for the more worth-while things in life. We arc spending too everlastingly much Tor the things we could well do without and not spending en ough for the things we really need. ONLY One more river to cross ??? y Over Million Dollars Worth Of Food Was Canned During 1940 There's no danger of most farm families going hungr>' this winter, says Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris, Ex tension economist of N. C. State College in food conservation and marketing. She reports that 7,621, 702 containers of fruits, vegetables, meats and jellies were canned last year by farm families who were as sisted with their food conservation problem by home demonstration j agents These products were valued at $1,141.513 40. A few more than 13. 000 families filled a canned foods , budget, and 2,000 other families l made a canned food budget and succeeded in partially filling it. Mrs. Morris savs that 1940 wan one of the most successful years in J the history of home canning work in North Carolina. Only ip 1933. at the peak of the depression when 11, 570,950 containers of food were put up, and in 1917, the World War year when 8,778,262 containers were can- j ned, were more cans of food products , put in storage at the beginning of j the winter. In 1912, when canning work with organized groups of farm women began, only 33.019 containers of food were conserved. The gain has been steady with periods of world unrest and economic disturbance natural ly promoting the greatest amount of food conservation. The extension specialist further re ported that 1,105 pressure canners 1 were bought by Home Pemonstra tion Club women last year, to add to 6,428 already in use at the start of 1940. This makes 7,533 of these useful canning devices in the homes Chanient In AAA Expected To hie ream* En roll ecu Changes in the 1941 A,AA farm program art* expected t<* cause more Bladen County farmers to enroll in j the program than ever before, says j R.
