NAT 10 MA I IDITOIIAl. w J Monday Afternoon, July 10, 1950 More Bad Money In Circulation Of course there are many of us who don't get to keep folding money in our hands long enough to really get a good look at it, but the fact remains that the counterfeiting of Ameri ean dollars is on the increase, and that's some thing that should concern us all. We have the word of U. E. Baughman, chief of the U. S. Secret Service, who de scribes counterfeiters as the cleverest o f criminals. puring the fiscal year 1949, nearly one mil lion dollars in counterfeit bills was confiscat ed. In the first five months of this year, a ( gents have uncovered more than $500,000 in counterfeit notes. Just how much more in bad noney is circulating there is no way to tell. And it should be remembered that people .who innocently accept bad money, only to find it such, are the losers. I The Secret Service chiefwarns that there Is more counterfeit money now in circulation than there has been for ten years. Last year there were 114 new issues of counterfeit notes and so far this year there have been 83 new issues. Because of the elevated value of the Ameri can. dollar in foreign countries, Mr. Baugli man says that the criminal craze of manu facturing counterfeit has spread abroad. Be cause of this situation, in which about one sixth of the bad notes that are detected are of foreign origin, the secret service chief wants to send seme agents abroad. When the office of Price Administration issued ration stamps during the last war, there were those who attempted to counter feit them. Now that the war is over these counterfeiters are said to have gone into the making of illegal bank notes. The upshot of the matter is that every per son should be alert to the possibility of re ceiving counterfeit notes. However, we know how difficult it is to detect such notes, for an expert on such matters who spoke before the Elkin Kiwanis, Club some months ago dis played a number of bad bills and for the life of us wecouldn"t tell them from jthe genuine. Still, in event one is suspicious of a bill, it should be. carried to the bank and submitted to-examination there. Bankers should be able to'tfell whether it is genuine or fake. Elkin Tribune Turn To Livestock In Time t Down in Piedmont North Carolina, the agricultural leader and newspapers are advis-: ing farmers to ke their eyes on livestock ' for the future. This eastern program is more than passing interest to those of us' here in' the mountains. For many, nuthy years we have utilized our hillsides as pastures for 1 some of the best livestock in the South. The natural thought for us up here in the mountains then is to ask, what influence will a heavy livestock program in the Piedmont section do to me? Right off hand, we would think that a pro gram jn the east would create a demand for purebred breeding stock, and the first place the farmers of that area will look is up this way. That means that the livestock people have got to do what has been advised for the egg and milk producers to advertise their products. '. It is in this same frame of mind which The ' Sanford Herald had this editorial, under the same heading as the title used above: "Agriculture is making a greater postwar readjustment in the United States than com monly realized. The Department of Agricul ture reports that some 30,000.000 fewer acres will be planted this year in wheat, corn, cot ton, potatoes, rice, peanuts, and other crops. "The reduction in acreage means a big cut in' war-expanded production. The total acre age in crops is now about the same as before the war, but production is up. Reducing the surplus acreas of these crops also reduces the government payments to farmers. " "The decrease in acreage was caused by plans of the Department of Agriculture for farmers to plant less, and then by two-thirds of the farmers concerned voting by referen dum to accept the proposed reductions. The department took these measures to hold down overproduction. It has this authority over crops operating under the system of acreage allotments to farmers, with attendant govern ment payments to them for unsalable sur pluses. The department was forced to call for acreage cuts when overplanting was so apparent and government losses so high. "Taking the 12.000,000 acres out of wheat, 11,000,000 acres out of corn, and other mil lions of acres out of cotton and other crops this year will bring problems to many farm ers. They will have to find what best to do with the land they had in these crops. "For many farmers the new uses they must devise simply mean a return to old problems with which they long have wrestled, There is really no solution, according to leading farm economists, except to divert more of their production to livestock. "It is especially important that here in the Lee county area, more livestock be added at once. We might add that the same thing ap plies to poultry. Not only will such additions furnish additional sources of income, but add ed production now will do something far more important: it will provide a basis on which quotas will be based if and when pro duction of livestock and poultry is controlled. That day of control is coming; the farmers of this area should be acting now to protect their interests by providing, each farmer for himself, a historical basis of livestock and poultry production."

Capital Letters By EULA NIXON GREENWOOD , Editor's note The views and years back. But now they sit ami opinions expressed in this column ably together around a conference are those of the author, and not necessarily those of this newspaper. Several newspaper publishers from the Eastern part of the state, visiting here Satur day for the first time in about two years, were impressed with the growth and progress of this community. "One can feel the progress of the area the time they get here," one pub lisher commented. It is encouraging to know that our com munity is generating such progress that it can be felt. J INCREASED PUBLIC INTER i EST The voters- on May 27 and June 24 who stood up to be count ed surprised all the amateur Gal lops as to the number who would go to the polls. Also, attendance at the highway safety conference last Tuesday brought more sur prises. Scheduled to meet in the hall of the House here originally . . . and this seats only about 200 the meeting grew so large that it was moved, bag anil baggage, to the State College Textile Building Auditorium, which holds about 500 folks. Chairman John Park and his conferees diverged' widely upon ideas, methods, etc., to accomplish their purpose. But all were to gether in thinking that traffic ac cidents must be decreased. All in all, it was one of the best meet ings ever held here and something good . . . including a watered down version of automobile inspection by the next Legislature . , . may come out of it.

The last way to win or hold anyone's love is to make him ashamed of something that he has done to you at best, the effect of this will b to make him want to get as far away from you as he can.

Many a man has hated his wife because of the remorse he felt at having wronged her; he sees in her the embodi ment of the pain his conscience Do unconscious acts show your real attitudes? Answer: Yes, writes E. T. Hall, Jr.'in the International Journal of Opinion and Attitude Research. The way to learn the real atti tude of someone you are Inter viewing is to notice such facts as whether her keeps you waiting, whether he remembers your name and the time ef the appointment, how much annoyed he seems at being Interrupted, and what "slips ef the tongue," if any,, he makes. This approach was found especially revealing in the case of politicians who tried evade "taking a stand" on controversial .. Issues. table and work for the common good. Credit for fhis miracle should go to the present setup in the Agriculture Department, to legis lators and farmers who realize that more is accomplished through frank discussion and cooperative effort. Voice of the People RECRUITING Capt. Joseph M. Pearson, head of the Raleigh Sta tion Area, and T. Sgt. M. L. Chris tian, stationed at the Army and Air Forces Recruiting Offices here, spent most of their time last week answering questions on the draft, the Army Reserve, and other mili tary matters brought on by the country's participation in the Ko rean conflict. Captain Pearson said most of the calls could not be answered because of military reasons. How ever, as to the draft, he said; "I could resume processing of appli cants on short notice, if I should be ordered to do so."

FAMILY DESERTERS Steps were taken last week by the Do mestic Relations Commission to study a proposed bill for the 1951 Legislature which would make N. C. Laws pertaining to abandon ment effective in other states as well, pending enactment of simi lar reciprocal: laws passed in those states. About a dozen slates now have such legislation. Chairman O. Lee Morion of Mor ganton and other members met in the Justice Building and consid ered amendments and additions to North Carolina laws regarding children in divorce cases, guard ianship, juvenile court ado juris diction, abandonment and non- support. Do you think the United States should keep pouring troops Into rsprca or withdraw all of them? Mrs. Roger Walker: "I think that we should stick by the United Nations in their decision and keep pouring them in."
