One fan has voiced his opinion openly on this sub ject and his statement is published in the next column. . This newspaper heartily concurs with this fan and be- tion will continue. It is based on the idea that some of Che climatic hazards in connection, with farm production have been overcome. 1 ' C. M. Galvin, of Chicago, thinks that the development of better veri ties, which are steadier, more resist ant to drought, pests and other un favorable conditions, will play a major role in .continued production. In ad dition, the growing use of machinery on the "farms is helping farmers to avoid some weather hazards. As Don; othea Kahn points out, a late plant ing season, due to excessive rainfall, can be overcome by machinery which enables a farmer to get his land planted quicker and the same applies to the work of harvesting. The picture of American agricul ture, however, is not altogether fav orable. There is still a tendency to "mine the soil," erosion continues to take an enormous toll of fertile soil and there is a danger) of a surplus, perhaps, When European agriculture gets back into production on its pre war scale. Can "Peoples" Make Peace? An editor writing of the peace con ference in Paris, says that the "great frustration" is that "the people have so little direct voice.'' This is an interesting complaint but if anyone has figured out a meth od Dy which the people can have a direct voice in the work of framing the peace treaties of Europe, we have never heard of it. There are close to 140,000,000 peo ple in the United States.

We hope this is true, and also if certain of our own fans desire to con tinue betting, they will 'arrange to place bets before coming to the field Obviously, there are many members of the American Congress with views on foreign ques tions that have never, been approved by the people of the United States in any direct vote. There is certainly no reason to believe that the selection of a Member of Congress would give the United States a delegate more in line with the views of the people than and doir.z it before the remainder of i. o f... j the fans, to which the action is b-;the pre8ident. It should not be overlooked, in this connection, that there are many coun tries in which the people are not ac customed to participate directly by vote or otherwise in determining grave and important issues. Where there are not free elections, in the fullest sense of the term, no country can name a delegate to represent the people and, where there are elections in the freest sense, an elected dele gate could only represent the views of the majority of the voters. Time For Action The rumor that the Norfolk South ern Railroad is seeking a way to sus pend operation of two passengei trains operating between Norfolk and Raleigh popped up again this week, this time at Elizabeth City, and to our way of thinking there must be some truth in the rumor for it to con tinue to circulate' almost at regular intervals. Whether or not these trains will continue to be operated will be de cided finally by the Interstate Com merce Commission, but we Wall atten tion to our readers that now is the time to forestall possible injury to public service to this community. We urge that residents of this county realize that in the event these trains are suspended, it can mean less mail service as well as travel service. It is our hope that a goodly num ber of residents of this county, all of whom receive benefit from this service one way or another, will take time to write Congressman Herbert C.

Classified and Legals LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Perhaps 1 should keep out of what I am about to get into, but here goes. I firmly belirve that the open gamb ling bi our utveiy Memorial r ieia is Witness Game Thurs day Night In an exhibition all-star game play ed on Hicks Field Thursday night, players from the three teams rep resenting the northern half of the Albemarle . League for the second time easily defeated the southern half of the league 14-6. Players from Elizabeth City, Hertford and Cam den played on the northern team, 'while Edenton, Colerain and Wind isor players composed the southern I outfit. I The northerners scored three runs 'in each of the first and sixth in jnings and 1n the seventh they went on a rampage to score six runs. Two getting more criticism right now than 'more runs were added in the eighth. Ten Good Crop Years Since the time of Joseph in Egypt, many agriculturists have expected seven bad years to follow seven good years. The cycle theory of good and bad crops received something of a jolt by , the experience of the United States . where farmers are now expected to producer bumper crops for the tenth successive year. Corn is expected to set a new record and while other ' crops are not likely to do so, pros - pects are excellent Some experts in the business of forecasting crops do not agree with ' the pessimists who tell us that a bad year is, overdue. Even if the excep ,'tionally good weather does not con tinue, there are some factors which lead to the belief that high produc- anyone who is unconcerned realizes. This ground is sacred and should be kept so. It is not my intention to make any direct criticism to any in dividual of our law enforcement branch, but they are well aware of what is going on and in fact the bet tors seem to ignore their presence, or the presence of ladies or even their small sons and daughters. This in my opinion is the sad case as our children are not to blame for whHt they are. We parents are, and there is no mistaking about it If we show them the wrong way then what else have we to expect when they take over our places in life ? Frankly, Mr. Editor, this matter should be thoroughly stopped. If gambling has to be done, let it be done under cover, as it is in most other places. When North Carolina abolishes the gambline law it will be : a sad plight we find ourselves in. The good citizens of our State, will never let this happen, in my candid opinion. ; Officers of our town and eOnntv. I let's' do something about this dia-1 graceful mess that we are. drifting into.
