There has always been the support by parents, teachers, and pupils themselves but there was lack of the proper type of leadership. This bears out the fact discovered in a recent survey by the vAmerican Music conference that American people, in general, are overwhelmingly in favor of musical instrument instruction offered In tho schools. It was learned that the average adult believes that children should start faking music lessons at the age of 7 years. How ever, it was iilso discovered that among children 9 years of a;;e and under only 3.5 per cei of the boys and 5.6 per cent of tho girls are studying music. ChHdren were found to be most active musically in the lff-li bracket.-. Full support of the school campaign for adult band mem berships means that more children will have the opportunity to play in the band and those who do wake the grade cm be better equipped. Contrary to popular belief, it w learned in the American Music conference survey that we are not ja mad. Uoogy-wooay and jive arc least popular throughout the Jpopulation as a whole and church music and hymns are like! better than any other typo of music. Between these two in order of preference, air popular dance music, old favorites and folk tunes, semi classical, cowboy and hillbilly, and classical. ' The church was also napied as the most important factor out side the home in stimulating an Interest in music Tied for sec ond place were movies and musical shows and the schools. According to the poll, 40 pep cent of American children want to learn to play a musical Instrument, and only 10 per cent are actually opposed to the idea. This constitutes a vast number o( future musicians, not prod igies, perhaps, but youngsters who iika music, who can appre ciate it, and in spite of frequent 'and disonant practice sessions, become able to entertain the family on their sax or clarinet. On the Water in the Dark of the Noon Not only humans who walk abroad Sunday night should wear an armor of courage but mariners on the deep at the dark of the moon on this Hallows Eve may act weird and frightening appari tions, too. For as it is with men who have departed from this life, so it is with ships that have gone down. On one night of the year their spirits return. Then these craft, incapable of sailing in the earthly world, rise to the surface and once more, wrecked and battered though they may be, ply the waves, ghostly trawlers, grey subma rines, and hulking ships, the makings of a gruesome .fleet. A few mariners have seen this spme-chilling armada, and describe movements of the ships upon the water as elusive as wisps of wind. But regardless of routes the boats may, haunt, the smug glers route from the Caribbean or the wall-known channels of fishermen, dawn finds them once more below the waves, with naught but a bewildered seagull crying his distress to the rising sun as the last ripple closes over the spirit fleet, Thoughts for an open mind... And who are you that thinks the gods shall shrive you from the debt you owe? Or leave unshed a single tear by which the unexpurgated sheet of time shall have it's record of unworthiness effaced? Constant application to work will eliminate constant application FOR work. ; Every man owes something to the upbuilding of the profession to which he belongs. Happiness is thinking straight and seeing clear and having a true perception of the value of things. Belief in magic did not cease when coarser forms of superstitious practice ceased. The principal of magic is found whenever it is hoped to get results without intelligent control.

Chaperones were Mrs. Pritchard Lewis and Mrs. Claud Guthrie. Mrs. Gerry Beveridge is club ad visor. i Members of the FHA wrote a 500 word theme on the vocational home economics exhibits at the fair. LET'S PUT ound up jimrar Bv Eula Nixon Greenwood NICE FACE Harry Truman visited Raleigh last week, but as you heard him and saw him it was very difficult to realize that there stood the President of the greatest country on earth talking to you. What kind of impressio.i did he make? Well, Mrs. Norma Davis, Raleigh housewife, uttered the general feelings of most of the thousands who saw President Tru man during his 22-hour stay in the Capital:, "I thought Mr. Truman was a very pleasant man. I liked his looks, He had one of the friendliest smiles 1 have ever seen. He looked as though he might be a next-door neighbor instead of the President of the United States. "I believe that the majority of the people who saw him liked liim . . . His family made as good an impression on ne as the president did. I think they are line people." NOTES Mrs. Harry Truman is just as homely as the newsreels and the magazines and the news papers picture her. However, Mar garet Truman is pretty, is much taller than her mother, has nice teeth, nice eyes, and is possessed of a rather good figure in the long stemmed, tomboyish manner. Her face is much more mobile and ac tive than either her mother's or her father's. Each time her es teemed father lifted his eyes and departed from the written speech in front of him Daughter Mar garet seemed to wince, to frown just a little, as much as to say: "Well, I wonder what he's going to pull this time." As Truman uttered one of his off-the-cuff remarks at the State Fair speech, Margaret gave her mother a vigorous elbow nudge in the ribs The President had not intended speaking at the Fair in his origi nal plan to visit Raleigh. Agri culture Commissioner D. S. Col trane ramrodded this when he found that Jonathan Daniels had persuaded Truman to come to Ra leigh for the dedication of the Three Presidents statue. HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS Although nobody knows with any certainty who will compose the NOTICE TO If you vote lor Charlie Krouse on the Deuocratic Party, write his name under the last name on the ballot and MARK A CROSS TO THE LEFT OF HS NAME. If you vote on the Republican or Progres sive ticket, simply write in the name of C M. Krouse. Ton may vote any ticket and still vote for Charlie Krouse for Constable of Morehead City Township. Vote Any Ticket And VOTE FOR CHARLIE KROUSE IT WILL EE APPRECIATED THE FRO T OJI THIS FU.'APKIN new State Highway and Public Works Commission, you can nail this up as something to hang your hat on: The majority of the members of the new body will come from rural areas. If Kerr Scott can find good men who live on rural roads and who know what it is to churn through mud everv winter and in hale dust during the dry season, thesi gentlemen will get the edge oveirny others. It begins to look as if W. B. Austin, who lives in the outskirts of Jefferson, in Ashe County, can be one of the commissioners if he wants to leave the State Board of Agriculture. Another good bet is Dr. R. E. Earp, who lives out from Idfliua ill juiuiaiuu vuuuiy. Scott has said repeatedly during recent weeks, in private conversa tion and-in public speeches, that he is going to be dead sure his highway commissioners see eye-to-eye with him on the needs of rural roads. So, the best thing you can do all of you folks is to find a good solid rural citizen, who lives on a dirt road and who went down the line for Scott, and start promoting him through Scott sup porters in your district. FOR SCHOOLS Although the State Board of Education has re fused to make public its appropria tion request (decided upon a month ago) for the next fiscal year, the fjgure is $111,000,000! We are getting so that we deal in millions of dollars to snch an extent in this State that they have ceased to have much meaning. Per haps this will help you. This year -July 1, 1948 to July 1, 1949 apnropriations to schools total only $63,000,000. Here's something else that should aid you in yqur fiscal thinking. All expenditures from the General Fund (that's where the school system gets its money) amounted to only $48,417,123 in 1937-38. TO BURLINGTON John Har den started it. Following the de feat of Sen. W. B. Umstead, Har den's friends around Raleigh were saying, "Poor John. What in the world will he do." They knew that Harden had resigned his job ALL VOTERS as secretary to Gov. R. G. Cherry to handle Umstead's publicity. Before the official vote had been tabulated, out came the announce ment that John Harden was be coming public relations chief with Burlington Mills. The salary was not disclosed, but Raleigh hears it is in the neighborhood of $12,000 per year. If you recall, Ed Ran kin had resigned his position as publicist for the State Highway people to go with Sen.

The cry went up for Rankin. He went with Burlington Mills. Tom Wagstaff succeeded Rankin with the High way Commission. He resigned a few days ago. He is joining Rankin and Harden at Burlington Mills. The rumor now is that Bill Snyder, who took over Hardens old job with Cherry, will go with Burlington Mills in January. THAT CAR Early this year when it' looked as if Charles M. Johnson would certainly be the next Governor, an order was placed for a new Cadillac to replace in January the low-slung Packard bought for Gov. Cherry in 1944. The Cadillac pame through, it is understood, compleje with the of ficial North Carolina seal on the hub caps. You know what hap pened in the second Primary. New caps were, put on the wheels and the ear was put un for sale through the regular channels. Now Kerr Scott savs he will not put the State to the expense (around $4,000) of a new Govern or's car, adding that the present Packard is good enough for him. Incidentally, the Packard has been just a little too ostentatious for Plain Citizen Cherry, and it is seldom seen out of the Garage. He prefers the little Chevrolet. If Scott docs agree to a rrw limousine, chances arait will be a Lincoln. For years he has driven nothing but Mercuiys and Fords.

P. McLendon and Ca pus Waynick. If this occurs, you will find J. M. Broughton siding with Wayniek and the W. B. Umstead following going with Mc Lendon. Where will Scott be? They were both for him. Also, the enthusiasm which the Democratic rallies brought out for Umstead has many of his friends already talking him as a candidate for Governor in 1952. They point that this East-West business is now strictly out-of-date. However, they are afraid that Durham County's adjacency to Alamance Dees Your Hair Have "IT"?

RADIO If the Legislature gives Kerr Scott too much trouble, he contemplates .taking his case lo the people via regular weekly radio broadcasts similar to FDR's famous "fireside chats." It may be that, Scott being Governor and not a candidate, they can be broadcast without cost. Anyway, the story is that a substantial fund is being held in readiness for the chats if they cannot be carried gratis.

The Earl, a leading British agriculturist and an exponent oft immigration from crowded Britain, said he would divide his time between Africa and his estate in England. HOW! 1
