C., under the Act of 1870, Common Sense . Robert Kazmayer, who is one of the most popular and stim ulating lecturers on foreign and domestic affai^, recently gave this excellent ad\'ice in one of his talks: ' ^‘War talk, mounting tensions, crises, these will return. You may as well get used to them, take them in stride,‘they’re go- i^' to be with you for a long time. Better learn to live with them. These years demand of the intelligent cituen that he do’everything in his power to strengthen moral jmd spiritual fit)re. of his nation, to sustain its economy and direct its course. .“Ea\dng done that, you may as well relax, enjoy the days of your years, make life as pleasant as possible for. yourself ahd lot those around you. Take the longer look, - keep the o^ill picture in mind. There’s no perwntage in yMting for happier days. They will not come in your lifetime or mine. '’"“If you keep eyes glued to headlines, ears to radio, jump at every alarm, you will not successfully "plan and conduct a business: you’ll join the ranks of the one-in-ten who are al^ ready mental cases.” This isn’t the first world crisis and it won’t be the last. The “war of nerves” is producing too many victims jn the United States. The best medicine for survival lies in calmness and strength, and a determination to stand by our principles. Raleigh Roundup By Eula Nixon Greenwood mews expressed in this colomn are those of the writer and do not necessarily express the opinions •t this newspaper.—Ed. ■the indirect vote of the people. teaderdiip, etc., capp^ rftwioy last Friday vdien he com pared it to Harry Truman’s in famous 80th Congress. But, wfaoeas President Truman was talking sbout 'Republicans in his laman tings and CUTSiSgS, the Governor wsa lambasting mem bers of his ovm party. Even if Scott’s comments are true, they do no good and accomp lish nothing. * SHADES OF 1937 — There is nda^'talk in Raleigh that Governor K4ti' Scott is looking to his 1951 iJ^lature, the thinking being tfikt he had hot hoped for too ihudi from the pro-Charles John- sbh'men who compose the present body. All other North Carolina Gov ernors have had their best days during their first four months in office, with the Legislature right along with them on the honey moon and everything bright' and cheerful. Some of Scott’s brain-trusters are trying to sell him on tb4 |dea of carrying his fight to the peo ple. If this thought jells, Ihe will make a tour of the counties, next year and work for the defeat of tho senators and representatives ■who are refusing to add new tgxes with which to carry the t State onward and upward. Thus, our Governor,' who last week likened his plight to that of Pres ident Trinnan’s, may find him self following in the steps of Franklin D. Roosevelt when in 1937 he worked for the defeat of Senator (“God bless you, Wal ter”) and other senators who would not go along with him on his plan to enlarge the member- ' ship of the U. S. Supreme Court. IfO NEW TAXES — As the Leg islature completes two mo: work, it becomes, more aiid-= apparent that no new taxes will be enacrted! On the other liand, there will be few, if any, rrfuc- tions. Governor ^ott, hir^elf, says now that he probably made a mistake last summer in stibd- ing for the eliminatjpn of the sales tax on meals. The average legislator is not concerned about reductions, feel ing that if he can go home and say “We didn’t put on any new taxes”, he wiU be lucky indeed. END IN VIEW — The 1949 Leg islature this week begins pack ing its bag for the return home. It will require approximately a month for the members to pull together and little items thrown about here and there. Nobody in Raleigh thinks the Legislature will be here later than April 10 and there is some opinion that adjournment may come even earlier than that. Work on the two major bills— finance and appropriations — should be completed by the lat ter* part of next week. HIGHWAY CHAIRMANSHIP — Capus Waynick has told intimates he will accept the position as chairman of the State Highway Commission if it is offered him. Meantime, he is remaining pret ty busy as chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee. Also, he is still interested in be coming one of President Tru man’s ambassadors. If this does n’t pan out, he wants- to run a- gainst Senator Clyde R. Hoey. George Coble, new man on the Highway Commission, is exceed ingly active, and is still* in the running to head this department. Chairman Jordan is not expected to stay in this job for more than a few months. Friends of Coble say he had better look after his milk business, which is still grow ing. He recently bou^t out huge dairy in Lenoir. If Scott wants to push the im provement of dirt roads, it seems, that Chble would be the ideal man to do it. No individual or business in the State is more de pendent upon good secondary roads than Co^le, whose milk lines run over thousands of mUes of dirt roads every day in the year. — Forest Service Out Of Seedlii^s; Had 6 Million Forest tree seedlings at the N. C. Forest Service’s .two i^wseries have been completely exhausted and no more orders are being ac cepted, District Forester L. E. Hicks announced today. Mr. Hicks said orders for one half million trees cannot be filled and the money is being returned to the applicants. The Forest Service’s Clayton and Hendersonville Nurseries pro duced more than 6 million seed lings this year and the entire stock has 'been sent out to more than 1500 cooperators. Because of the tremendous demand for the forest seedlings Hicks urges all landowners planning to plant next year to get their orders in ^ifi# S' 1 Tarheel In ^’Washington : By Lester Baker Excitement has become wide spread itoou^out the country during the past few days be cause of the sudden drop in food, prices and the rise in unemptoy--: meat. (But some , persons are not,, in the least disturbed over thi? sit uation. They believe that infla tion simply has run its course, and that the country is again re turning to the “good ’ole days.” Other persons tell us, however, that the situation is alarming and should be frankly recognized. These persons warn that the in flation picture is manifesting in creasingly dangerous elements which might bring on another 1929 depression. A look at the economic situa tion reveals tha,t the cost of liv ing has decreased two per cent in the past two months. A down ward trend has occurred prin cipally in the cost of food, cloth ing and fuel. The wholesale price of lard has dropped 64 per cent, 50 per cent for corn, 33 per cent ® for cattle, 32 per cent for hogs, 30 per cent for wheat, 30 per cent for butter, and 10 per cent for sugar. A4ditional reductions showed women’s cotton , presses to be down an average of 24.5 per cent, nylon hose down 15.3 per cent, and men’s shats down 7.6 per cent. The cost of living has by no means decreased to anywhere near^'^rmaL In i(act, it is still 74 per cent above.-1980 levels. The apprehension has been, brought on, however, by such a sudden drop in market prices. .. 'As for the employment side of the picture,, 700,000 pei^ns be came jobless from December to January. But this figuxe cannot be taken too seriously. ®dany per sons were employed durinS De cember and January on seasonal employment, a swell as on work especially for the Christmas sea son. And at any rate, actual em ployment stili .is above the first three month level of 104)8. The government is adequately prepared to handle tlie unem ployment situtaion - iinles it be comes much more critical. At present there is a record $7,630,- 000,000 on band in Federal funds for imemplojnment benefits. This fund will cushion, to consider able extent, not only tlie present but any future drop in jobs. In studying the serious factors which threaten our economic se curity, we find that consumer de cent of total output in 1939 to 70 per cent in 1948. Furthermore, shW ' increases have occurred in lighting-imater- ials and home furBishinss„ as well as in metal products, zinc and lead. v - ']/ Another important feature is the fact that since, 1946 vdiolesale farm prices have increased 22 per ceiff and Industrial'# pit cent At he^same time, the iapi- kd^a riiare K»uEp|tar’a.|ol- lar^ has the problem involves the lower ing of die cost plv'liviqg without; driving faxjn income further downward. .

Trees are a growing crop. They should be protected, managed, and harvested when mature the same as corn or cotton. The greatest- damage to the North Carolina. Farmers growing timber crop is i caused by uncon trolled fires. These fires not only destroy the young seedlings, the crop of the future, but retard the growth of the older trees. A tree in a forest protected from fire may reach harvest eke in half the time required by one in a forest that is burned every year. Trees, like cotton or corn, Will grow best if not too crowded. A stand of young timber should be thinneit when“ necessary. Thin ning should reinove the crooked, SCHOOLS AND ROADS — Even in the Governor’s inner circle of advisors, there has been disa greement about the road bonds. At least one of liis friends work ing vidth the (Legislature whisper ed to members last w;eek that he would, be satisfied with $100,- OOOlOdti instead of the original fB|(kO,000,000. Thp Governor nail ed this one quicMy, ^ lapsing into his theme song, “^00,000,000 for roads, $50,000;006 for schools.” The people will probably be ^vex) an opportunity to vote on these *two bond Issues. If the LegifUture does pass these pro- blem9).lRpQg Ah. a final decision ^Qov- ior NO NOT one — A scant two months ago Governor W. Kerr Scott had ambitious plans for virtual rebuilding of North Car olina. He wanted to “go forward” he said, with new taxes piled on by the Legislature. The shocking surprise is that not one of the Governor’s bills has been enacted by the General Assembly. No, not one — not even the little bill which would set up a Personnel Department. It is still in committee. Governor Scotn also wanted an administratice as sistant. This has not been done, though it likely will be. to becom^Oouewor. M he does iMidlO'tg idea) ,qt phigglwg for them, the people will turn theh^'dimn. • It' has been ibown time and time''' ^in ‘ didt ''^tlte greatest strides wfairii North Carolina has made in the past did qpt come a- bout by a direct vote of the peo ple, but through the Legislature— species left for future saw tim ber. ' until it is mature. It tafees as long for a pine tree to grow from seed to 10 inches in diameter as it does to grow from 10 inches to 2 in ches. A 20 inch tree contains al- mbst 5 times the number of board feet as the 10 inch. tree. The value of the 20 inch tree 5s more than 5 times as great due to the a- mount of clear high grade lum ber that may be obtained from- the larger trees. , To receive the greatest return from your timber crop protect it from fire, thin it properly to pro vide adequate growing space arid harvest only the mature trees. A properly managed forest is like a sound savings account^^ you har vest only the interest, or growth and leave the principle to accum ulate more interest.
