AMP BEAUFORT, C; .J FRIDAY, AUGUST 131948 Carterel County Ilews-Times f'' - A Merger Of The Beaufort New 1912) The Twin City Time (est. 1936) EDITORIAL PAGE FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1948 Dnr Pari in U. S. Economy While housewives boycott butchers in attempts to knock down rising prices, a less sensational but just as effective means is being employed constantly to check inflation purchase of United States Savings bonds. Carteret county's bill of sale in the recent security loan drive totaled close to $138,000, nearly $8,000 more than the quota set by the state director for this county. This indicates that some of us, at least, realize that the more money in circulation, the higher " prices will go, and the higher prices go, the more money is re 'Tquired, thus continuing the never-ending cycle that shrinks our dollar bills to the size of pre-war 50 cent pieces in purchasing "power. The war may be over, the 1948 security loan drive may be 'over, but it's still a smart thing to do to salt away savings regu larly. Money is plentiful now in comparison to the early 1930's when a dollar went a long way on the family grocery bill. Getting some wealth while it's to be had is like taking fish when they're running. The advantage to getting money, though, is that it can be kept years, if necessary, and will always be in a readily negotiable state as long as there's a U. S. A. We should be proud of the part Carteret county has played in the security loan drive. We've helped ourselves by purchasing H'bonds but we've also stuck our finger in the dike to hold back the waves of inflation. sfied Means Slop There were complaints about the signal light at Mulberry and Live Oak streets at Beaufort high school parents claimed it didn't do any good insofar as protecting children at the intersection is concerned. There were complaints too, about the signal light at Ann and Live Oak streets. Few people could give particular reasons why they didn't want the light there. As far as could be ascertained, there had .simply been no signal there when Beaufort was founded and they didn't see any reason to put one there now. I"" There has been complaint too, of course, about the light re cently placed at Ann and Turner streets. But this looks as though it will be the one effective means of stopping speeders passing through Beaufort on the highway. For those motorists leaving the biidge and planning on making the green light several blocks away, there is still the 35 mile and hour speed limit to be remembered. Even with their decrepit patrol car, police can enforce speed laws. And when the new police car arrives any motorist who decides to take the law in his own hands may as well prepare for a session in court. : These signal lights, whether we "like" them or not, have i been put there for our protection. They will serve that pur pose only as long as we drive the way we want the other fellow to drive and groundless complaints, thank goodness, aren't going " ' to remove them. - Thoughts for an open mind..

Total ex pense of the plant food -was $89; labor, $15. So, if his 300 bushels bring even $1.50 per bushel he will have a net profit of $350 oa the acre-and-a-half plot. That's farming in the modern method. G-R-R! Lion Wants Mflk! . "MOSCOW (AP) There's a lion cub at the Moscow zoo who prefers milk to raw meat. The tdckly cub was taken home by the manager of the "Beasts of Prey" gjction. ' It has now regained - its health. At first, it was fed from a baby's bottle..

Yet the S&W Cafeteria in Raleigh feeds 3,000 per day ... or about equal the edded, that to do so would injure the Democratic cause here at home. Meantime, the Republicans have set up housekeeping, have discov ered a good radio voice in Senator ial Candidate John A. Wilkinson of Washington. E. A. Parker, at torney of Benson, is in charge of Eastern Headquarters here in the Insurance Building. Due to the terrific fight which will be made on J. M. Broughton, the belief is that he will trail the Stale Demo cratic ticket. He has a worthy adversary in Wilkinson. Due to the fact that many Republicans will vote for Scott, he will likely lead the ticket. The happiness we receive from ourselves is greater than that which we obtain from our surroundings. And it is an obvious fact, which cannot be called into question, that the principal element in a man's being, in the whole tenor of his existence, is what he is made of, his constitution. For this is the immediate source of that inward satisfaction result ing from the sum total of his sensations, desires and thoughts; while his surroundings, on the other hand, exert only an indirect influence upon him. This is why the same external events or circumstances effect no two people alike; even with similar surroundings every one lives In a world of his own. For a man has immediate apprehension only of his own self. The outer world can influence him only so far as it brings this to life. Jim Morrill In view of JtlWfc.

' Well, it may be consoling for the Democrats of the State to know that J. M. Broughton, De mocratic nominee for the U. S. Senate, is very friendly with the two men who are likely to be your next President and Vice President. When he was in California with the Farm Bureau folks on conven tion two years ago, Mr. Broughton was royally entertained by Gov. Earl Warren, and the reports reaching here indicated that they hit it off well right from the start. On the day following Broughton's defeat of Senator W. B. Umstead, Gov. Warren sent him a congra tulatory wire. Also, a short while ago, J. M. Broughton, who has gained a na tional reputation as an able and fluent speaker, addressed some important trades group in New York City. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey had him to come over to the Man sion or whatever they call the Governor's residence up there in Albany to eat and sleep. You know, Mr. Broughton can make himself at home almost anywhere, Is readily conversant on almost any subject, and the mustache and the rye were soon calling each other Tom and Melville. When he was through Raleigh this spring, Dew ey had Broughton up in his suite ?l the Sir Walter and they renew ed acquaintances v'cr i Some tobacco warehouses have had as hleh as 1,500 people milling pbout in them in the Border Belt . . . . indoors, too ... . children, too, black and white, according to pictures in the papers.

THE STRATEGY Don't look for ell-out support of Truman when the Dixieqrats start their battle to keep North Carolina out of the. hands of the Republicans.
