01 Mr. Barker, who addressed the
Morchead Cily Junior Chamber of

problems, rather than co-cier-ite
with other Southern states
to establish regional, post graduate
'schools for negroes.

' Mr. Johnson, accused by other

of by someone not so encumbered,

rftld has the experience and the
Will to do it
ln streamlining the government
for true progress, he says that the
Hate's tax structure should be the
subject of constant study with a
ilew to revision, that North Caro
lina should provide educational op
pertunies for Negroes in its own
Negro colleges, that the cities and
towns should have financial relief,
tUat there should be better farm to

Congress Considers Legislation
To Increase Ilaiion's Libraries
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON The first trav
eling library was a horsedrawn
bockwagon used in Washington
county, Maryland, in 1905. Today
3onie 378 bookmobiles or "librar
ies on wheels" travel the high
ways and by-ways of America, tak
ing their precious store to folks
beyond the reach of a public li
brary. Yet 35,000,000 people in the
United States today still have no
public libraries within reach. Of
these 32.000,000 live in small vil
lages or in the open country. Hav
ing few books of their own, they
are deprived of a basic means of
education. To show these people
without library service what good
service is and how they can have
it, the American Library associa
tion, working with 4 state com
mittees, is behind legislation to
stimulate state and local interest
in the project.
The Library Demonstration Bill,
as this legislation is known, was
introduced in the Senate oy bena-
tors Lister Hill (D-Ala.) and
George D. Aiken (R.-Vt.) and in
the House by Rep. Thomas A.
Jenkins (A.-O.). It is not the pur
pose of the bill to provide library
service to all areas without it, or
those which are inadequately serv
ed but to demonstrate what can
be done to establish permanent li
brary service for those areas.
The bill provides for state sup
ervision. The federal government
makes grants to states to assist
them in conducting the demonstra
tions of library service, but its
schools and higher teachers sala
ries. '
He said while here that he felt
the people needed a change and
are tired of the machine and ma
chine politics.

sponsors say there is no interfer
ence with state and local initiative
and responsibility in carrying out
the program. Vehicles used as
bookmobiles range from motor
cycles to 20foot trailer-trucks
station wagons, small panel trucks,
trailers attached to passenger
cars, school buses, army ambu
lances and trucks, a city bus and
a jeep.
The bookmobiles generally make
their rounds once or twice a
month. Some leave books at reg
ular distributing stations post of
fices, filling stations,, country
stores, homes or churches where
patrons select their reading mater
ial. Others give aoor-io-aoor ser
Lvice to homes or schools along the
route.
Librarians say that rural people,
like others, want to use good books
for many reasons. ; They want to
learn new things, to follow current
events intelligently, to find relax
ation or to develop their under
standing generally.
" Rural schools need many more
books than they can afford to buy.
People in remote regions who have
been reached by traveling libraries
count on the service as much as on
the other ties that link them with
the world outside. The American
Library association says that only
600 counties in the United States
have county-wide library service.
EDUCATION BY MOTOR
OSIO (AP) Norweign mo
torists are not exactly in love with
the secretary of finance, Erik Bro
foss. Because of his rigid .regula
tions he has been called "Motor

Recently a motorist suggested
that the bike-riding minister
should be given a car. The sug

proval, and the motorists already
have started contributing.

SAVE THE SOIL
By Roy R. Beck
Soil Conservationist
At a meeting held May 14, the
stockholders of Deep Creek, Canal
corporation voted in favor of a
$5 per acre assessment for funds
to dig a pew outlet from Newport
River past Bob Garner's farm in
to the swamo as far as the present
canal is maintained.
A 'committee was appointed to
obtain this new right-of-way from
the" land owners and to contact
State Highway department person
nel for assistance in getting the
canal dug across the Mill Creek
Road. The Soil Conservation Ser
vice was requested to prepare bids
for digging the new canal outlet
and to stake out the right-of-way.
During the past week your Coun
ty Soil Conservationist has made
topographic surveys of farms own
ed by Lynn Garner, Neal Campen,
D. S. Oglesby, Bernice A. Mann,
and Joe C. Barnes. These surveys
along with soil surveys are neces
sary where drainage and irrigation
are under consideration. 1
Last week Archie Hardesty cut
seventy five bales of sericea hay
from three acres of his permanent
meadow. Mr. Hardesty plans to
cut the rest of his field this week.
This meadow, now three years old,
is expected to yield either three
cuttings of hay or two crops of
hay and a seed crop this year. The
primary need for sericea in Car
teret County is on sloping land
with a yellow sandy clay subsoil
where erosion is a major problem.

The threadbare young Russian
stood before the desk in the Tols
tov Foundation in New York, six
months after he first reached there
from a displaced persons camp in
Italy. He was one of millions of
Soviets who had been seized as
prisoners of war or forced labor
and who neither wanted to nor
dared go back borne. He was one
of several hundred whom the Tols
tov Foundation has helped to reach
the United States.
On that first day in the Founda
tion office his face had shone with
happiness. Today tears coursed
slowly down his face; his rough
hands knotted beneath his skimpy
sleeves.
"They wouldn't let me into the
I American army, because of my
eyes," he was saying in swift Rus

To The
People Of
Carteret
County
During ihe past lwo
months il has been my
privilege to travel over
Carteret County in be
half of my candidacy
for Solicitor of the Fifth
Judicial District. I shall
always be grateful for
the cordial way in
which I have been re
ceived and the many
courtesies extended to
me. Il is not an empty
statement when I say '
, that the renewing of
eld friendships and the
making of new, friends
means as much to me
as any public office.
I was born and rear
ed in Carteret County
and I have been among
people I respect and
love, and the people of
Carteret County know
me and can have con
fidence that I will serve
them honestly and
faithfully.
We have not. had a
Carteret County man
for Solicitor since Hon
orable Jesse H. Davis,
more than .21 years
ago. Il is certainly fair
that this section of the
ruth Judicial District
now have a chance to
share the solicitor's of
fice. It will not work to
the benefit of this Ju
dicial District to keep
the solicitor's Green
ville, Pitt County, all
the lime. .
I sincerely believe
my background, train
' ing and experience of
24 years as an active
practicing attorney
qualify me for the of- v
Uce of Solicitor. I want
to be chosen for my
qualiicatidns for 'office
and for the more im
portant reason of pre
serving the principle of
rotation in office.
If, honored by nomi

shall serve all ihe peo
