If yea voted or were properly registered in 1950 and haven't since moved from your precinct, ymi may forget aU atoot regte- tertag. Wnier North CrUn' fvmatomi w$hkmtin law, ya msy rE liter oate fer a liftetltaa provided you &mt move out of year precinct, or your precinct boundaries remain nnchanged, or if yon remain satisfied with your party affiliation, and the board of elections for some rea son does not call for a new re gfctration. A word of caution, however. Every primary and general elec tion people in Forest City, Ruth erfordton and Spindale, present themselves to vote, who voted in a municipal election and did not register for the primary or gene ral election. If you are registered to vote for mayor and board of al dermen in a municipal election, you are not registered to take part m the county and state elections. If you nave moved from one precinct to another, or of yon became a resident of North Ca rolina since the last election, if your old precinct baa been alter ed, or if yea have recently be come of voting age, 21, or If you wish to switch parties, then yon will need to get properly re gistered if yon hope to vole in the General election of Novem ber 4th or the primary of May 31st. The North Carolina laws on eli gibility for voting are fairly sim ple: You must be 21 years old, sane, in possession of your citizen ship, be able to read and write, and must have resided in the State one year and in your precinct four months. !nrlg the Graham Smith campaign of 1959 the attorney general and Stato elections board ruled that a persen fa eli gible to r.",;Iitr and vote in the Icrijuary if tbe minimum resi dence requirements will have been met by Via dt of the ge neral election. Under thut rulsn, you are eli gible to tegUter ud vote In the May SI primary if you have re Fided "in North Carolina since last November 4, and if you now live in U,e precioct in which you ex pct ta vole next November.

' Persons who become eligible to register (mainly those newly turned 21) after the final regis tration date, Slay 17, may regis ter at the polling place on the dsy nf the primary or general etectJaa. If 'you have moved from the North Carolina precinct in which you last voted, you need to obtain a certificate of transfer from the registrar in your former precinct and give it to the registrar in your new precinct She (or he) will au tomatically register you in the book at your new precinct and the registrar in your former voting place will strike your name from the book. Challenge Day' After May 17 the registrars must sit at the respective poll ing places a day, during which they must open the registration books to any voter who wishes to examine them. This is known as "Challenge Day." It will be May 24, the Saturday follow ing the closing of the registra tion period. On "Challenge Day" ny regis tered voter may challenge the registration of any other voter whose name he finds on the regis tration book in hia precinct Baiii for successful challenge, of course, must be evidence of ineligibility. You must be a registered Demo crat in order to vote in the Demo cratic Party primary May 31, and you must be a registered Republi can if you intend to participate in the conventions or primary of the Republican Party. But you don't have to be re gistered as a Democrat or Re publican to bo eligible to vet in the general election next No vember. If yon are registered In dependent neither Democra tic nor Republican yon are just as eligible to vote in No vember as anybody else. Yon may Men veto for either Repu blicans, Democrats, Dixlecrats, or any of your write-in choices. And if you are registered as Republican or as n Democrat, you may vote in the November elec tion on any and all tickets and tal loU. Tie Democratic nominees, ts November, will be arranged on one rids of tbe ballot and the Republicans on tbe ether, and you are perfectly free, no mat ter how yea art registered, to vot for the candidates of your choice en both sides. The registration procedure will ta repeated next October. Pereorj elifiiblo to register then will bavt three successive Saturdays, and the dys intervening, (n which to become properly registered in d- vanc tf the general election. A petted fr rcfcifrirttioa be fare each election if tbe fio;' J CmvUiui ns4o kzi ut sawt j But the recent unsuccessful ef forts of some Democrats to re gister Republican in order to participate in Republican eon venions has led to tbe sugges tion of a change in the law. ' Why, ask some voters, should not a person be permitted to regis ter or change his registration at the election board office any day ui the week, any week of the year? It is done in some states with permanent registration systems. North Carolina does not per mit absentee voting in the pri mary, except to members of the armed servkes. It does permit it in the general election; and if yon are going to bo stent from the Stato Novslier'4 ?a may oii&iit a feaSkt by ayyisg the e Section board of your coun ty. Yea will need to apply SO days in advance of, election day, unless the circumstances of your case come within the scope of few exceptions. Unlike some other states. North Carolina requires a candidate to obtain a majority of votes cast for nomination as well as. for election. Thus the reason for second, or run off, primaries. If none of the Democratic candidates for governor should receive a majority of all votes cast in this contest at the May 31 primary, then the two highest would fight it out in the second primary four weeks later, June eg. This applies to all contests. The candidate must receive a majority to be nominated, no matter wheth er he is running for governor or constable. With its Australian ballot. North Carolina permits Its vot ers to write in the names of per sons not mentioned on tbe offi cial ticket. It is theoretically possible in North Carolina for voters to elect for Governor a man who la neither the Repub Ttacn nor the Democratic nom inee. Republicans claim that the North Carolina ballot is rigged against them in the general election, es pecially against Republican candi dates for Congress. For some reason, the congres sional portion of tbe ballot in this Slate is at tbe bottom of the State ticket It isn't carried on the printed slip with tbe candidates for President and Vice President. Republicans claim that Demo crats wishing to vote for a Repub lican for Congress, after having voted Democartic nationally, have difficulty finding the congression al ballot on -the tail of the State ticket; or they neglect to hunt for it WASHINGTON I have been greatly interested ta tbe letters written to me by thousands of North Carolinians in recent weeks. Our people are demonstrating an inspired interest in their go vernment, as well as a determina tion to do something about many of the things now going on. 1 do my best to answer each letter ful ly, and I appreciate very much the time the people are taking to let me know their views, . I believe we may have a record vote this year in North Carolina, if not throughout the entire na tion. I'd be (blighted to see it Ttdelamta Bill Last week the Senate spent most oi its time on the so-called Tide lands Bill. Finally, last Thursday this matter was set aside until Wednesday of this week, at which time we are supposed to vote on it In short, this matter concerns the question of whether submers ed coastal land shall be taken over by the federal government, or whether they shall continue under the jurisdiction of the lndividaul states. The interest in the tidelands lies in the oil involved,. Senator Lister Hill has introduced an a mendment which would earmark the money from the oil for educa tion. That of course drew imme diate support from educators who could visualize a happy financial situation for the schools and colleges. Among other things, that brings up the question of further aid to education from the federal govern ment But the basic fundamental involves the question of whether we want our national government to move in further on what has al ways previously been the authori ty and jurisdiction of the indivi dual states. In other words, the rights of the individual states. More Poppycock - That "distress area" plan was still being kicked around here last week. That's the proposal, you know, by which the government would disregard the South s tex tile and furniture plants entirely and placa its contracts with Northern ewwas because "the North needs business," It's hard to believe that our go vernment has gone this far. This proposal indicates that the 4gvern ment po longer cares whether it even appears to be spending the taxpayers' money carefully. Simply said, the "distress area" plan is this: The South has reached the point that it can produce textiles and furniture (and many other items) more cheaply than the North. Our prices are lower. Therefore, there is more demand for Southern textiles and furni ture. We're getting more business and the North is getting less. So A short course in grain market ing will be held at N. C. State Col lege from April 21 through 23. At tendance will be limited to the first 50 grain handlers who apply. Fertilizer consumption in the United States has increased from a pro-war average of about 75 mil lion tons to over 20 million tons in 1251. There are more than 100 cficmi eal t'itrogen plants in xim United States and in addition large quanti ties i( nitrate cf soda f.re imported item Cuie. j there's some unemployment in the North. So our government steps in with a proposal to disregard tbe lower prices in the South, and place' its contracts in the North, sa that the people in Massachusetts and else where can get more fcjployment The government tfoesnt seem to care what this Will f ta employ ment in the South nor how much extra this would cost the taxpay ers. . So the Soutb's Congressmen and Senators are having to fight for the South's right ta fre competi tion. A few years g few People dreamed that such a ttEt& of events would ever come 5' bsing in Am erica. It just goes to show you what happens to fteedora under a paternalistic government. Who's lidd&g Whew? Sometime ag I read a state- ragant fittrihtitferl ii fiintninAn( 3nan in our Stgte, who is a known supporter of tijs present Adminis tration. He was pointing to now much money North Carolina had received from the federal govern inent ' But he didn't twist fio&r much North Carolina ))ays to the fede ral government,. , , I've been checking into some tax figures recently. I thought you might be interested in hearing some of them. It might cause you to wonder. ' In 1948, just for example, North Carolinians paid in federal taxes a total of $1,23,W. That same year wa got back in federal grants, aid and otherwise a total of $146,069,821. In other words, for every dollar we received from the federal go vernment we had paid ALMOST TEN DOLLARS IN TAXES. To The Ladies I have just received a few cook books and baby books from the Government Printing Office. They seem to contain some pretty good information. I'll be glad ta send them to any ladies wanting one or both. Just drop me a card or a letter, in care cf the Senate Office Building Washington, D. C. We il nd them as long as th supply lasts. BELLS T1IEATR There is an old saying to the ef fect that when the dogwoods begin te bloom it is time to plant corn. That time will soon be hare and we should have our seed on hand ready to plant In the past, especially in eastern North Carolina, most of the corn planted for roasting ears has been of early field corn varieties, suctt as Tuckers Favorite and Early Adams. In recent years there have been many commercial plantings of sweet corn in the State, and there has been more sweet corn grown in the home gardens. Once you grow true sweet corn you will never go back to the field corn varieties. There is no compar ison in the quality of the two types. Sweet corn has a feign sugar con tent and is very tender. The oo jections to sweet corn have been that the ears are small and that corn ear-worm damage is often severe. There are now many var letii of sweet corn with laree ears and tbe entomologists have deve l oped a fairly good control for the ear-worm. Many excellent hybrid varieties of sweet corn have been develop ed by tbe seed breeders. In order of earliness some of the best var ieties are: North Star, Carmel cross, Hoosier Gold, Seneca Chief, Golden Cross Bantam, Ioana.'Aris togold and Lincoln. For a succes sion of corn early and late varie ties may be planted at the same time, or a desired variety may he planted at two week intervals. It is best to plant two or three rows of a variety at the same time in order to insure proper pollination. Sweet corn may be planted a little closer than field corn because It usually makes ' a smaller stalk growth. ' Sweet corn is of best quality if used as soon as harvested. If it can not be used immediately, it should be kept on ice or in the refrigera tor; otherwise it will lose a large part of its sugar content in a few hours. Gardeners are already becoming dahlia-conscious, probably because the roots are now being extensive ly advertised in the garden maga zines and newspapers and are also being sold by seed stores and chain stores. One of the most frequent ques tions being asked me Li: When will you plant your dahlias? I usually plant more then 200 roots, but I never plant before May 1 here at Raleigh. - My advice would be to plant dur ing early May in the central and western "portions of the State and about May 25 to June 1 in the ex-' fcrera e;-letn portiejt of the State .-' Mf tJjn l,5fi-a xiw-.k.ra tWfilis. er plants today serve American ag- Tbe dahlia is a fall flower and will ricultirrc, home gardeners and oth- give you better blooms in the fall ers efficiently. . . - I if it is not planted too early.
