Iaenhower. North Carolina state director, said today. The credit ia available immediately and can be used to finance current farm and living expenses as well aa the production of next year's crops. The two kinds of operating loans are special livestock loans and reg ular production and subsistence loans. The production and subsis tence loans are made only to oper ators of family-type farms. The livestock loans are made to opera ton of a family-type farms and other farmers and ranches aa well. All of the loans are made only to farmers who are unable to obtain the credit from other sources. The regular production and sub sistence loans help small farmers to Improve their farming opera-, tkma. These loans may be made to buy farm and home equipment, feed, seed, lime and fertilixer, and to pay other farm operating and family living expenaes. There ia a atatutory limit of 17, 000 on each production and aubaia tenet loan and the total outatand Ing debt for these loans cannot ex ceed 110.000. Repayments are baaed on the income to be received each year after reaaonable ex penaes are met. In no caae may the loan run for more than aeven years. When the main purpoae of the production and subsistence loan ia to improve tlM farmer's operations, a limited amount of funds may be include^ to refinance debts se cured by Uens on livestock and farm equipment. Special livestock loans are made to producers and feeders of cattle, sheep, and goats, except commer cial fed lot operators. These loans are made to meet usual expenaes necessary to successful livestock ouonUuua, such as the purchase or IMmUn ?of fMd, and repUc U?J1!25l at repairing farm ma |chinery and equipment. livestock I | loans are not made to expand opcr- ' ations or to pay exisiting debts, ex cept incidental current bills. Livestock loans are made (or periods up to three years. Other creditors are not asked to subordin ate their liens, but are expected to stand by and to agree that a reason able part of the applicant's norm al income from livestock can be | used in repaying the loan. There is no limit set by law on | the amount that a farmer or ranch er can borrow under the special livestock loan program , The amount that can be borrowed under this program is determined by the farmer's needs and his ability to repay. No loan is made unless it appears that an applicant has reas onable prospects for success. For each loan made, the govern ment obtains the best security available Including a first lien on all crops to be produced with the loan and on all livestock and farm machinery purchased with the loan. While special livestock loana | cannot be used to refinance exiat ing debts, the loana include funds to pay for the annual depreciation on chattels serving aa security for their loans. In addition, local bus Inesamen who are creditors bene fit from loan funds used to pur chase loan supplies and services.

School of Journal km Univerrfty of North Carolina The fight for the people's right to know suffered its first defeat 264 years when Publick Occurences both Foreign and Domestic, pub lished on Sept. 25, 1690, was "Suppressed and called in . . /' by the Governor and Council. Tfcanka to the guarantee of a free presa in the First Amend ment to the Constitution the fight for full information for the public continues despite occa sional setbacks by dishonest or short-sighted governmental offi cials. Twenty - nine years ago I was working in Ohio with a serious minded young editor who had set out to clean up a vicious situation in a city. The municipal govern ment and its police department were tied in with and receiving bribes from a well-organized un derworld which controlled boot legging, prostitution, and the nar cotics trade. That editor was Don R. Mellett The newspaper was the Canton (Ohio) Daily News. I was the city editor. City officials and police officers kept a tight lid on news. They re sented attempts of reporters and editors to print the facts so that the citizens of Canton would know what was being done by their of ficials who had sworn to uphold the laws of the state and nation. They blocked access to what ever news they did not want the public to have. When repeated written and tele phoned threats did not deter this courageous editor from his deter mined duty, the underworld, with the connivance of city officials sworn to protect the citizens, assas sinated Don Mellett in cold blood on July 16, 1926. A Basic Right The people's right to know is a basic right. It is fundamental to good government in a democracy. The people must know so that they may intelligently choose their elected officials and continuously judge the performance of those officials. 1 would be the first to admit that Don Mellett's killing represented an extreme act, with which only the most depraved and corrupt gov ernment officials would have co-op erated. Nevertheless, I insist that where access to news ? Icfkt t-toate news to which the public i is entitled ? is shut off or dehiOri there you may find dishonesty or corruption in greater or lesser degree. If an official has nothing to hide, nothing to fear, he has no reason to block access to news at its source. Neuspspers the nation over *r? i constantly fighting for "The Peo- ' pie's Right to Kaow." This fight is ia the public interest. Battles are J lost here and there from time to i time, but the war must be won. I re-emphasize in this 19S4 Na tional (Newspaper Week the im portance of free access to news on all levels of government, consistent with national security, that the people may know what their gov ernment is doing and how it is do ing it. Fireman Seek Donations For Mr*. Hester El Nelson. chief of the Moreheau | -ity Fire Department, said yeater ! ley litM clothes and furniture are | needed by Mrs. Rosalee Heater. 1112 Bay St., Morehead City, to re place the ones she lost when a room in her heme horned last week.
