A thousand small, wild horses,
known as "banker ponies," still
roam along the sand banks that
skirt the coast of North Carolina.
Pony pennings held two or three
times a summer attract numerous
visitors. For, they form this state's
chief representations of the more
famous western rodeos.
Although the ponies run wild
over the sand dunes, they all have
wners, and it is the attempt to
brand the young colts that occa
sions the periodic roundups. Some
times, too, the animals are offer
ed for sale, and bidders come' from
far and wide.
Once tamed- the horses are noted
for their docility and endurance.
But it is difficult at the outset to
teach them to obey or to eat prop
erly. '
Stunted in growth, though
larger than Shetland ponies, these
wild horses graze on the coarse
grasses of the sand banks, support
ing themselves almost wholly on
salt foods. Accordingly, it is hard
to get them accustomed to dry hay
or the mainland feeds.
oo mucn grass and so many
plants are consumed by these van-
dais and other coastal animals
that they are held largely respon
sible for the alarming lack of vege
tation on the banks, leading to
erosion dangers on the narrow
peninsulas between sounds and
sea. But, when it was suggested
that the ponies and cattle be killed,
in order to save the beach grasses
and shrubs being planted in brush
panel fences to hold back the en
croaching , ocean and anchor the
sand dunes, stout defenders of the
banker ponies raised so much op
position to the murder plot that
it was abandoned.
There are said to be more ponies
along the banks today than there
were a decade or more ago, when
another furore was caused by the
state law requiring all ponies and
attle to be dipped in special dip
ping vats in the effort to rid the
section of Texas fever ticks.
Rather than go to the trouble
and expense of catching and dip
ping these elusive animals many
owners sold their ponies. In some
areas vats were blown up as fiery
protests against the legislation.
After "the contraversal law went
out- of effect, when the tick danger
was past, the ponies grew more
numerous on the banks. But they
still fall far short of the many
thousands that . were there years
ago.
Where the banker ponies came
from originally, how they got on
the Carolina banks and what their
pedigree may be constitute some
of the great enigmas of the coastal
regions, '
Some persons assert that their
Fourteen-Pound Baby
Price control or inflation? If
one or the other is inevitable, price
control seems to be the logical
choice. ! But what kind of price
control? In the current Rotarian
magazine, Leon Henderson, U. S.
price administrator, and Bernard
M. Baruch, chairman of the war
industries board during World War
I, debate the choice of methods to
keep pricea down,
Mr. Henderson states the prob
lem for both arguments, when he
writes that soon two billion dollars
a month will be pouring into de
fense production. "Most of those .
dollars wind up in somebody's I
pocketbook . . , are itching to be
spent," he says, "but the goods
whose production they symbolize
never qome on the consumers' goods
market. Instead they go to our
army or navy, to Britain, to Rus
sia, or to China . . . Some of those
dollars are saved and invested in
government bonds, some are drain
ed off through higher taxes . . .
The residue of those dollars left
over is estimated to be four to
seven billions a year. Price con
trol is the only method left to off
set the (inflationary) pressure of
those remaining billions."
With this, Mr. Baruch is in full
agreement, for he writes, "Because
of delay in coming to grips with
the price problem, prices have ad
vanced and inflation looms before
us . . . Prompt enactment of a
price-control law is the greatest
single necessity of the current
crisis."
But here their agreement ends,
for Mr. Henderson holds for dis
cretionary power to establish ceil
ings, while Mr. Baruch argues for
all-out price control. Writes Price
Administrator Henderson, "If the
basic raw materials are held in
?heck, then prices in the subse
quent along-the-line manufactur
ing processes also ought to stay
put'. But Mr. Baruch, who held
a very similar position during the
last war, supports the principle
of the Gore bill, "that a ceiling be
put over all prices, rents, wages,
'ommissipn fees, interest rates as
if some date. Prices would not be
frozen, but would fluctuate freely
below this ceiling, although not
above it.".
As to wages, Mr. Henderson ad
mits, "Neither does the (Steagall-
Inss) bill attempt to fix wages.
There is a good deal of legislation
on the books designed to bring
about a system of fair wages . . .
I believe wages like every other
cost must be kept in bounds. It is
significant that in England . . .
the precious right to bargain on
wages has been retained". . But
Mr. Baruch finds the Gore bill's
