With all the beautiful things
Nature affords, there are as
many things that affect us
adversely, w cause us extra
worry.
Squirrels are awfully pretty
and amusing, but cause so
much damage to basements,
attics and trees each year. They
know exactly what to do to

cause you trouble.
Did you ever get bitten by a
squirrel: Did you ever catch a
squirrel eating your most
vuuable bulbs: The Sudbury
Laboratory, Inc., has a product
to prevent all this.
The odor from the
Chaperone Squirrel
Repellrat” will cause ttie frisky
little fellows to seek other
quarters..It will not harm the
squirrels, or any of your pets. It
will only curb their harmful
activity. Inquire at your seed
store for this.
The same company offers
deer and rabbit repeUants. If
you live by a creek, or near a
large wooded area, you may
have need for this protection.
What a pity we can’t explain the
problem to our animal neigh
bors.
If you haven’t visited a feed
and seed store lately, you
should do so. There are many
new and interesting items this
season. It’s a wond^ul place to
look around, to your heart’s
content.
Don’t be depressed by the loss
of trees, shrubs and flowers
during the severe weather we
had during a portion of the
winter. Grow something else,
and maybe ihake some im-
(vovement. Anyway, garden,
it’s excellent therapy.
This week’s Buds and
Blossoms poem, titled Days Too
Short, was peimed by W. H.
Davies.
When primroses are out in
Spring,
And small, blue violets come
between;
AVhen merry birds sing on
boughs green,
And rills, as soon as bom,
must sing;
When butterflies will make side-
leaps.
As though escaped from
Nature’s hand
Ere perfect quite; and bees will
stand
Upon their heads in fragrant
deeps;
When small clouds are so
silvery white
Each seems a broken rimmed
moon-
When such things are, this
w(Hrld too soon,
For me, doth wear the veil of
Night.
The future of a country is safe
only in the hands of those to
whom her past is dear.—
William Ralph Inge.
Every man is an original and
solitary character. None can
either understand or feel the
book of his own life like him
self.—Cecil.
Faith, like light, should
always be simple and un-
bencUng; while love, like
warmth, should beam forth on
every side and bend to every
necessity of our brethren.—
Luther.
Poetry is in itself strength and
joy, whether it be crowned by
all mankind, or left alone in its
own magic hermitage.—
Sterling.
While reason is puzzling itself
about mystery, faith is turning
it to daily bread, and feeding on
it thankfully.—F, D. Hunt-
in^on.
Mankind in the gross is a
gaping monster, that loves to be
deceived, and has seldom been
dsappointed.—Mackenzie.
An orator or author is never
successful till he has learned to
make his words smaller than
his ideas.—Emerson.
Even the best must own that
patience and resignation are the
pillars of human peace on
earth.—Young.
The proper way to increase
the love we bear for our country
is to reside some time in a
foreign one.—Shenstone.
Mistake not. Those pleasures
are not pleasures that trouble
the quiet and tranquility of thy
life.—Jeremy Taylor.

It’s Tine To Chaige Thiogs
As an automobile owner, you have good reason to resent the unfairness
in North Carolina’s present insurance rates. Having been in the insurance
business for a number of years, I have become increasingly concerned
about th inequities in the present rate system over which none of us have
any control. This matter, a touchy subject among those seeking to serve
in the next General Assembly, should and will confront members of the
State Senate.
You are entitled to more than double talk and evasive answers from
any and a|l candidates when you ask, "What about automobile insurance?”
When the citizens of Craven, Carteret, and Pamlico Counties elect me
to the State Senate, correcting insurance inequities will be a prime objec
tive. I have no quarrel with those who recommend a thorough study of our
insurance rating system, but exhaustive studies without change won’t help
YOU.
The existing situation, delayed by hearings and feet dragging tactics
on the part of those who are opposed to alterations could remain in effect
for years.
There is something wrong with a rating system that enables a convicted
drunken driver to get automobile insurance at a lower premium than a
careful, law abiding driver whose only crime is being young. Nor should
the Senior Citizen with an excellent record and driving habits above re
proach be forced into the assigned risk pool.
Recklessness is not confined to youthful drivers. You don’t have to
travel very far on the highway to determine this fact. Whatever a driver’s
age may be, he or she should be Judged Individually, and rated accordingly.
This is just one glaring example of the unfairness in our present
method of determining insurance premiums, and the driver is forced to
accept it.
When i go to the State Senate, representing Carteret, Craven, and
Pamlico Counties, it will be with the expectation of remaining in Raleigh
until legislation is enacted that will give YOU relief from this arbitrary
oppression.
This is my answer to "What about automobile insurance?” Any an
swer from any candidate seeking to serve you should be equally clear cut.
I will not hedge, and I will not straddle the issue. THE TIME FOR DECISIVE
ACTION IS NOW.
