. f?. v '
UNITED STATES SENATOR
******
As Federal reports and studies |
dealing with national affairs during
the last few years are given to the
Congress as a basis for considering
new government programs and pol
icies, ample evidence is found that .
North Carolina has an underlying '■
stability equaled by only a compar- (
atively small number of states. Sup
port of this statement is available in
volumes of Federal statistics and
data regarding the state's industry i
commerce and agriculture. They tell '
a graphic story of how well North
Carolina weat'hered the storms of the
depression and how well the state
is prepared to move forward during
the fairer economic weather ahead.
One reason the state enjoys such
a favorable position is because of the
diversity of its agriculture and indus
try. Farmers are not forced to depend
on a single commodity nor industrial ;
workers on a single branch nf indus- j
try. And along the seaboard, in the
Piedmont region and in the moun- ,
tains are found many indications
that the economic stability in North
Carolina is well-founded.
Naturally, the fine standing of the
s'.'ate, reflected in the reports and
studies sent to Congress, is a source
of much gratification to the members
of the delegation in Congress. It
should also bring pride to all citi
zens, particularly at this commence- 
ment season for schools and colleges,
when so many of our younger gener
ation prepare to face the problems
of life, economic and social.
On numerous occasions, my eo! |
leagues in Congress who have visited ,
North Carolina or passed through the |
state on route 10 and from other des-i
filiations, have been loud in their 1
praise of the physical appearance of
| the state/THGy have referred to the
I skyline of smoke belching from fac-
I tory chimneys and the hum of busy
j machinery. They have referred to tho
well-painted and well-kept homes
that line the highways. They have re
ferred to the busy communities re
flecting ,»he active life of North Car
olinians—all indicating that people
are noticing the way in which our
state is quietly going about solving
its problems tto the advantage of ail
citizens.
Hardly a day passes in Washington
that some member of Congress docs
not pass along to North Carolina col
leagues a favorable reaction to some
activity within the state. As those
who have their eyes on North Caro
lina come from every far-flung sec
tion of the United Sitates, here is in-',
deed evidence that the people tlir>-'
ughout the country arc favorably at
tracted to ttoe state.
It has been said on many occasions
that a steady flow of visitors to the
state means new revenue for our peo
ple without undermining our soil, de
nuding our forcs.S, depleting our mi
nes or interfering with basic means
of income. It is gratifying to know
that the state is preparing to launch
an aggressive program to increase
the flow of visitors, many of whom
will remain as residents. Many see
,Hons of the state have been develop
ed by the capital of the people who
visited the state, became attracted
by its possibilities, and have become
North Carolinians in spirit and in
deed.
These observa.Hons lead to one im
portant conclusion. It is that North
Carolinians should find iu the int
erest of others refreshing evidence
of what their state offers. S udents
should have full knowledge of the
opportunities to be found. Tours of
the state for and by North Carolin
ians should be encouraged. The fish
erman at Nag's Head should know
the woodsman in the mountains and
vice versa. In this way a greater dc-1
gree of state pride and civic cons
ciousness will be developed and tho
high standing of North Carolina
among the states will draw even more
favorable attention.

Aerial Map To
Be Made Of Farms
In Edgecombe
Bids hav e been opened on the
aerial mapping of nearly one-fourtli
of North Carolina as a part of the
Agricultural Conservation program
for 1937.
Terial photography as a method
of mapping large sections of land
accurately has been used for some
time, both by private and govern
ment agencies, declared E. Y. Floyd
of State coilege.
Photographs of the land to bo
mapped are made from the air and
enlarged to a specific scale. The en
largement. serves not only as a pic
ture but also as a map of the area.
Front the enlargement, which
shows several square miles of land
boundaries of each farm and of pac'i
field on the farm ar e determined.
In addition to making available the
i xact number of acre 3, the enlarge
ments also show all prominent ground
fea.ures, such as trees, buildings,
roads, and streams.
Cheeking compliance with the con
servation program will be made
cheaper, more accurate, and faster
with the aerial surveys, Floyd said.
I A great number of the methods of
measuring used in th e pust were un-
I satisfactory because the land had
to be remeasured year after year.
| Aerial mapping, in addition to be
ing more accurate and cheaper than
I other methods, will provide a record
that can be used from year to year
for a laige number of farms, thus
eliminating expense and delay inci
dent to measuring these farms each
year.
Thirty-four North Carolina coun
ties will be mapped either wholly
or in part. They are: Anson, Beau
fort, Bertie, Bladen, Cabarrus,
Cleveland, Columbus, Davidson, Ed
gecombe, Forsyth, Lincoln, Martin,
: Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Moore,
\ Nosh, northampton, Pitt, Randolph,
Richmond, Robeson, Sco'.land, Stan
ly, Union, Wayne and Wilson.
Twin Babes Arrive at Same Instant
' \
The most unusual birth within the memory of Los Angeles physicians
occurred in Doctor's hospital, Los Angeles. Calif., when Mrs. Mildred
Reubin bore identical twins described by attending physicians as "in
terloculary twins." It is said such a delivery occurred only about once
in 50,000 cases of childbirth. Photograph shows Nurse Florence Jones
holding the twin girls weighing 6 and pounds, respectively, who were
born at the same instant.
Still Royal and Gallant Edward
The marriage of former King Edward VIII, of the Brit
ish Empire, now Duke of Windsor, to Mrs. Wallis War
field of Baltimore, Maryland, now a citizen of England,
will take place 011 June 3rd in France at the Chateau De
Cande Gates, residence of Mr. and Mrs. Herman L. Rog
ers of New York and friends of Mrs. Warfield, according
to announcement of Mr. Rogers, spokesman for the dis
tinguished couple. It is to be a very quiet ceremony with
only the closest friends of the King and Mrs. Warfield.
present. None of the reigning family will attend, although
it is said some desire to be present is apparent. It is sug
gested that they probably relinquished this desire in or
der to be in haßHTony with the present government of
Great Britian.
Regardless of the views of the government of England
or the thoughts of any private person of any country, as
to whether the charming and gracious personality of Mrs.
Warfield and Edward's love for her should justify his abdi
cation; this distinguished couple is entitled to the greatest
consideration and dignified treatment from the public and
the international press.
When the conflict between the government and the for
mer king arose. Edward chose to quietly and with the ut
most dignity to lay down the exalted duties as king, in
stead of enforcing his will upon the Empire. He turned
over the "burden of the empire" and renounced his throne
for himself and his descendants, taking oath of allegiance
and fealty to his brother, King George, without revolution
or visible bitterness. And, he is now seeking to renew life
and work out his future happiness with Mrs. Wallis War
field, princess of Baltimore, who will be Her Royal High
ness, the Duchess of Windsor.
CROSS ROADS NEED LIGHT AND BLINKERS
The Highway Commission should spend more on erect
ing lights and blinkers at dangerous crosswords and in
tersections. This would do more to lessen accidents than
most any thing that could be done with no heavy cost.
We witnessed a serious collision on the Norfolk road in
the Town of Leggetts, in which a big truck came in contact
with an automobile occupied by four ladies. Both the car
and the truck were turned over and by the Grace of God
no one was badly injured, but the car and truck were
practically demolished. Although some of them may have
been negligent, we believe if the cross road had been mark
ed with a blinker, the accident would not have taken place.
Mr. Brockwell of Raleigh ran off the highway, not far
froim this same town and ran into a creek, drowning him.
While the barrier might not have saved him, yet it might
have given him notice.
Something must be done at these dangerous crossroads
to protect the public, especially where the view is parti
ally obstructed and the cost would be little in comparison
to the benefits.
DOCTOR MCREYNOLDS TO BE COMMENDED
The Secretary of the State Board of Health, Dr. Mcßfey
iiolds, should be commended and given all reasonable co
operation in his lead to stamp out and relieve society of
this plague of social diseases, which has come to be a great
menace, not only to the ones infected but to Society gen
erally.

MAYOR DIES
Dan W. Perry, 40, Dies in Rocky
Mount; Funeral at Oriental
Reelected as mayor of Nashville
while he lay dangerously ill in a local
hospital, Dan W. Perry, 40, well
known Nash County lawyer, died
here.
Funeral services were conducted
from the home in Nashville, after
which the body was sent to Oriental
where burial services were conducted
at two o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Perry was brought to the hos
pital uere three weeks ago for an
operation. Complications set in and
caused his death*
Born near New Bern in Craven
County, Mr. Perry moved to Nash
vill in 1915. He had served there
as assistant to the clerk of Superior
Court, as vice-recorder and later had
just entered his second term as may
or of Nashville. He took no part

his friends. His first term as mayor
expired May 5.
Mr. Perry studied law at the Uni
versity of North Carolina and re
ceived his license in 1922.
Master of the Morning Star Lodge

Grocery Basket
Costs Soaring
Chicago, May IB. —The cost of fil-1
ling the housewife's grocery basket
is now the highest in six years, re-1
fleeting tho tribute levied against
the consumer's pocketbook by the
193> drought, a study of food prices
in Chicago wholesale and re ail mar
kets disclosed today.
Prices have risen gradually in the |
past few weeks to surpass the Aug
ust, 1936, peak, the previous liign
level since early in 1931. An au-t
thorative compiliation indicated the'
market baskets cost is now about 10.
per cent higher than a year ago andj
50 per cent higher than the low
point of early 1933.
While a number of food items,
including butter, eggs, cheese, lard !
and some poultry, are lower than!
they were last Augus , these declines;
have been offset elsewhere in the
grocery list. Higher prices of many
items have accompanied increased
distribution costs to enlarge the dai
ly shopping bill, market observers
said. At the same time, wage in
creases, they said, have helped
maintain consumer demand, which
also has strengthened food prices.
In the /closing months of 1936
food costs declined about 4 per
cent under the mid-August peak be
fore many items had rcflec.'ed the
drought's effect. Since January 1,
however, the advance has been
steady and federal food experts re
cently predicted the average family
will need a little more money to
pay ihe grocer, butcher and baker.
Aid For Elderly
