Bundy, of Green ville. Mr. Abernethy, who is the son and former law partner of Charles L. Abernethy, Sr., former con gressman from the third Congres sional district and solicitor in the fifth judicial. district from 1906 to 1918, said in an interview re cently, "I have thoroughly enjoyed go ing over Carteret county and meet ing childhood friends and making new friends. I feel very confident hf winning bv a substantial ma jority in the district. We have not j had a Carteret man or any solici tor from this section since the Hon. Jesse H. Davis. "My unanimous endorsement by the Craven County Bar association came as a complete surprise to me as I had always actively supported Mr. Davis and after him the Hon. D. M. Clark, and had not had any thought of running for solicitor. My father, at 76. is in rather feeble health, but he is keenly interested in my campaign. "This is the first time there has ever been an enori 10 Keep me solicitor's office in one county all the time. After 21 years Pitt county should share this honor with the lower section of our Fifth Judicial district. The principle of rotation in office is more import ant than the personal ambition of anv candidate." Mr. Abernethy was born and reared in Carteret and moved to New Bern at the age of 14. He has been in active law practice in this section for 24 years. Mr. Bundy in February was ap pointed by Gov. R. Gregg Cherry to fill the office of solicitor, left vacant when David M. Clark, for merly of Greenville, died. The Cartrt County Bar asso ciation recommended to the gover nor that this appointment 'e made. In accepting the office, the incum bent announced his Intention to run as a candidate for the solici tor's post in the primary this Sat urday. Mr. Bundy's first experience as solicitor in this district was in Carteret county superior court in March.

COASTWISE (Notes: After one has been writ ing a daily column for weeks, months and even years, he always likes to relieve the readers of same by throwing in a guest writer oc casionally. I am always on the lookout for such relief for my loyal readers and I think they will cash in on the Honorary Tar Heel con vention held down at Hatteras last week.

He was once an editor on Rye Page's Wilmington N7WS and while on the southeast coast of North Carolina did more to pro mote and publicize the sportsfish ing than any other person. If he happens to mention my name ill the guest column today it is purely a coincidence, but what he may say about Bill Sharpe is far more 'truth than poetry. A. B.) By Jack Cowie HATTERAS, N. C. It is good to be back in the Tar Heel State and better than that to do a guest column for the one-man-chamber of commerce of the Outer Banks Aycock Baown. The present trip has been one full of surprises, ranging from an enjoyable weekend in The Caro linian at Nags Head, to the new facilities offered by Scotty Gibson here at the Atlantic View Hotel. The well being of these estab lishments, and hundreds of others stretching from the Virginia-North Carolina line to Morehead-Beaufort are in the hands of the mustached Outer Banker. - Couple the work done by Brown, and others like him. with th nro gram of the State News Bureau handled by Bill Shame and one finds a perfect publicity machine i machine which has meant dol lars in -the pockets of North Caro linism( "... . For a continuation of that flow of monies the people of North Ca rlina would be protecting the goose that lays the golden egg if they would start a boom for both Sharpe and Brown and in future years place, those estimable gentle men in Raleigh under the dome of the capital building. Shanv as gov ernor and Brown as his able assis tantsay as secretary of publicity a department which could be created by an act of the General Assembly. - ,, All Joking aside enough people in the Tar Heel State know those two gentlemen to elect them to any offic If they had political am bitions. It is rood to know how ever, that their ambitions are not political but are just plain "Tar Heeling." , I ... Word is that visitors to Belhav in -By Aycock Brown en are to be rewarded with new accomodations leased and operated by Axson Smith. (Here Cowie b referring to Mattamuskeet Lodge at New Holland, near Belhaven, where Smith owns the River Fo rest Manor.) Smith, so the story goes, is the lad who had a chance to remain in Ohio, but likes my self he prefers North Carolina. Last Sunday morning I ate four breakfasts at The Carolinian. The reason was not a "lack of food" but en the contrary, was due to the excellence of the meals. My near est runner-up was Ray Trullinger, the outdoor columnist for New York World Telegram. He put away four broiled and basted blue fish that had been enjoying life the previous afternoon in the wa ters of Oreson Inlet not to men tion hot biscuits, a basket filled with them. A week with the Honorary Tar Heels is week to be remembered, and as this, my second trip, draws to an end, I want to thank the people ot North Carolina for both myself and my Honorary Tar Heel companions, for a week of pleasure spent on the Outer Banks of a great state. Until several months aeo I was employed on a Wilmington news paper (not the one which folded recently) and during my interim of employment in that city I tried to impress on the peoples of that area the importance of the ocean as a medium of development of the area. Any promotion With that aim in mind seemed to fall on deafened ears. In, the meantime the State appointed a. State Ports' Authority and placed. R. B. Page, Wilming ton publisher, in charge of the commission as chairman, Probably, now that an office of th commission has been estab lished, the southeastern city will listen to its executive secretary, Colonel Gillette, and realize that its future lies in its water proxi mity and not in industrial deve lopment. -, v Wilmington' should take a. leaf from he book followed by hose 0'iter Bankers who have develop ed the wilds of Dare County into a paying propositions."

In answer to this question, Mr. Ball states that the county, state and national, farm bureau organ ization is a non-political farm group which does not propose to take an active part toward sup porting the candidate for any of fice. "Our farm bureau membership is made up of members of both political parties whose political in terest vary," he said. It is very individual's privilege to support the candidate of his or her own choice and certainly not a part of the function of the county, state, or national farm bureau to shape the thinking of any individual re garding the exercise of his own right with reference to politics. The farm bureau's chief objec tive is stated in section II of the constitution and by-laws as fol lows: 'The object of the Federa tion shall be to effectively orga nize, and improve, in every way possible, the agricultural interests of the great commonwealth of North Carolina; economically, edu cationally, and socially, through the united efforts of the County Farm Bureaus of the State."

I. 1 - COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh Artificial cattle breeding has made such rapid progress in North Car olina in recent years that more than 20,000 cows will be bred un der the program this year, accord ing to J. F. Brown, Extension dairy specialist at State college. , At present there are 23 organ ized artificial breeding associations in the State with a total member ship in excess of 2,500, Mr. Brown said. Reports show that in January and February 2,258 cows were bred by 21 associations. Two associa tions began operating in March, and all others except those in For sytn, Yaasin, ana uavie counties began in January. Despite the fact that most of the technicians are. new, reports as of April 1 indicate that' the non-return percentage by technicians on January 1 services will average a round 44 per cent, which is con sidered a fairly good figure with so many new men on the job. Re ports already indicate improve ment in the percentage for Feb ruary 1 services. All counties doing artificial breeding have been contacted by one or more Extension dairymen and given detailed assistance with the overall program.

UIUUU1 Ul lite I ' Alcohol, Prostitution Head Agenda on Social Reform By Daniel Da Luce 1 BOMBAY (AP) Mothei India is acting today like a Pu ritan. Aitnougn pessimists say yof can t change human nature wit! law books on this old sub-conti nent, the trend is' toward national prohibition and the abatement oj prostitution. Alcohol and legalized vice are now ranked as public enemies b; the highest statesman of th young Indian Dominion. Social reformers, comforted b: the saintly teachings of MahaB ma Gandhi, are already writin; more stringent legislation. Control Started The most direct blows have fall en on the sale of intcTxicantij. Traffic in women is proving hard er to control. Test mcnts tubes for social experj are India's largest, cities. Bombay and Calcutta. Two dry days are enforced each week in Bombay, including the pay day for mill hands in the big textile industry. Calcutta goes tlrinkles3 on Saturdays. , "It's only a small "beginning, said a young Brahmin reporter on the police beat here. "But anyone can notice the change in the moral climate since the British Raj gave up the ghost and wc Indians took over political authority last Aug ust. i Britiah Attitude "The British were not too con cerned. They let things slide." Foes of white slavery are han dicapped by religious tradition as well as the enormous profits madM from vice. Hinduism accords a recognized position to the prostitute class. Basavis (temple girls) still cater to pilrims in backward states, al though it is now generally for bidden to allow superstitious fa milies to dedicate a daughter to temple service. ' In Southern India, where ma,r triarchal systems flourish, it ia common to find prostitutes whose female ancestors, as far back as any records exist, belonged to the "oldest profession." Vice Thrives . Vice is big business in Bombay. The red-light district which spreads over several principal thoroughfares, is perhaps the, most infamous in the East. There are streets lined with cages in which blotched-faced girls behind iron bars solicit for 12 annas 25 cents. i(, Rich banias (merchants) fre quent a cluster of apartment houses further uptown where silk--gowned singers and dancers, with golden bangles hanging from nose and ear, entertain nightly at private parties which may cost 300 rupees ($100) or more. THe girls are usually attended by Vna sicians who are their male rela tives, including husbands. ' i The Bombay provincial govern ment recently publicly confessed that the last anti prostitution act, adopted 24 years ago, had "failed to achieve its objectives." It is Sued a new decree which is some thing less than half a loaf of de termined leaders of a purity carrt paign here. Under terms of the new act, prostitution is forbidden "within 150 yards of a place of public re ligious Worship, educational in stitution, park, playground, cfj nema, railway slartion or tram line.' In 1944 the U. S. Air Transport Command had ten times as many miles of air routes as were op erated by all the world s airlines before World War II. , At very low temperatures he;.
