To The \oters Of Martin County As a candidate tor the office of Judge of Recorder's Court of Martin County. I wish to solicit the support of the Democratic voters in the com ing primary. My friends, including lawyers, have called to my attention the fact that many of the best record ers in the state are not lawyers and that the principal duty in the trial of cases coming before this court is a matter which, in the higher courts, is the duty of the jury. I shall appre ciate any support I may receive and if elected promise to diligently try to justify all confidence reposed in me by being fair, just and impartial to all.

Farmers Affected By U. S. Inflation| Farm people who study President Roosevelt's seven-point program to control the cost of living will rec ognize in it an attempt to prevent the disastrous results which follow ed the upward spiralling of prices during the first World War, says Dean I O. Schaub, director of the State College Extension Service. Every person who farmed from I'll Hthrough the early 1920s will want to avoid inflation of prices, land \ alUes. and other things that led to mortgages which scores of lar mers have never been able to lift," the agricultural leader declared. Dean Schaub said that President Roosevelt's program is designed to, not only control the cost of living, but to (1) Prevent a few from get ling rich at the expense of many; (2) make it possible for the poor and rich to share alike in the products available; (3) help prevent a ser ious depressiu nafter the war, such as paralyzed America following World War I. (41 maintain, insofar as possible, desirable social and ec onomic conditions for our soldiers and sailors to return to after win ning the fight for America's free dom; and (5) cause much of the war debt to be paid as we go. The Extension director listed eight reasons why farmers dread inflation. First, he said, inflation creates a feeling of prosperity which is not sound It tends to get farmers into debt for such things as land and ma chinery. which they cannot pay tor quickly Third, inflation gets farmers into the habit of living above their in come. Inflation increases taxes and public debt. It reduces tendencies to save and discourages thrift. Sixth, it establishes a price level higher than normal to which farmers ad just their level of living and outlook on life, which cannot be maintained. Inflation means higher prices which make it hard for low income farm families to buy what they need. And finally, it makes dlolars cheap er. Therefore, farmers have to bor row?have to mortgage for the fu ture. ?* W m.

Morris, Extension food conserva tionist of N, C. State College. She predicts that 12 to 15 million quarts o fvegetables, meats and fruits will be canned in North Carolina this year. Home Demonstration Club wo men have reported 9,798 pressure canners in use in 1941, Mrs. Morris said. A large number of these can ners belong to County Federations or local clubs and are loaned to per sons who do not own canners. Still others were bought early in 1942, and the Extension economist thinks there are at least 10,000 canners available now. "Canning records for a number of these pressure canners show an av erage of 1,000 cans per canner put up during the year," Mrs. Morris continued. "From these figures, it is estimated that 10 million cans of non-acid vegetables and meats can be processed, providing that the canners are kept in constant use." The food conservationist said fur ther that facilities for canning to matoes and fruits are practically un limited. A wash boiler, lard tin, or any covered vessel that is large en ough to hold the filled jars can be used for a hot-water canner. Many glass jars that are not suitable for pressure canning may be used sat isfactorily when this method is em ployed. Mrs. Morris reported that 7.250,000 quarts of food were canned in 1941 by 68.182 farm families under the supervision of 87 home demonstra tion agents and 1,767 local leaders. ^ ar Is Bringing Out American Ingenuity ? In both consumer-goods and in dustrial fields, the week brings abundant evidence that good old "American ingenuity," which we Americans have so proudly hailed for many generations?and which the present war is putting to its sternest test?is right in there pitch ing, trading punches with Mars. A specialty shop held an "ingenuity show" that revealed: a wool-like I cloth that's made" of soybeans ... A "victory" electric fan, with blades of masonite, and with sliver instead oi copper in the cord-wire ... A sun lamp bulb which heeds no reflector or metal stand because the reflect or is inside the bulb, which screws into an ordinary electric outlet ... A clothes brush with no bristles at all ?it's made of plastic and cleans by friction. There'll be a lot of that. Ma terials due for a terrific upsurge in just this sort of thing are glass, plas tics and wood. On the industrial front American ingenuity is batting out home runs at a lively rate. One example (name less) is an auto parts company .which, undertaking shell manufac ture, found it had to utilize subcon | tractors in surrounding cities, so or THE RECORD SPEAKS . . . One of the most dastardly, common and lowdown types of accidents?hit-and-run driving? was reported in the county over the week-end. It was the only en try in the wreckord for the past week, but a year ago there were no entries at all. A person who would run down and severely injure or kill his fellowman and drive away without stopping is mean enough to murder in cold blood and should be banned from the highways forever.
