Government officials admit they
are expecting a turbulent year in
labor-management relations, with
labor unions shooting for some big

with a big increase in strikes a
possibility.

Better Cattle
Gets Better Price
Although North Carolina's pure
bred cattle breeders suffered from
declining prices like commercial
cattlemen, they found that quality
was the key to higher prices last
year at 31 auction sales, according
to A. V. Allen, extension animal
husbandry specialist at State Col
lege.
With commercial cattle moving
at prices above a year ago, the
purebred breeders (re looking for
this improvement in price and
quality to be reflected in their
spring sales, Allen added.
He says that the purebred breed
ers, noting the demand for quality
animals, have dug into their herds
ind are offering strictly top qutl
ty in these spring sales which will
te held as follows:
Hereford ? Show Window Sale,
itatesville, February 26: Bull Sale,
taleigh, March 12; and Eastern
V. C. Sale, Rocky Mount, March
!6.
Angus ? Breeders Quality Sale,
Jreensboro, March 9; Bull Sale,
taleigh. March IB; Kinston Angus
Sale, Kiniton, April 23; and Enka i
Angus Sale, Enka, May 18.
Shorthorn? toeky Mount Sale, ]
March 19.
Last year, 24 consignment sales
and' seven private sales were held.
A total of 354 bulls and 1,810 fe
males was sold.

signment sales, with eight State
Association ikies averaging $313,
?nd eight county sales averaging
$184. The State Angus Association

THE GREATEST WEAPON
AGAINST COMMUNISM
A victim of an Iron Curtain Country
escaped and found refuge in the United
States.
In America he worked where he liked.
Ht,went to and from town, or crossed
state lines as he wished. Never was "he
stopped and asked for "papers." Never
were his belongings searched or confis
cated. Never, when he went to bed at
night, was he haunted by the fear of
L being torn ruthlessly from home and
1 loved ones to be 'sent jiway forever.
K Yet these things are happening
? right now in his native country.
"Abroad, there is terror in many
hearts," said this refugee, "that you
Americans cannot understand be
? cause you have never experienced
? it . . . and God forbid you ever shall.
? "This above all you must remem
? ber: The greatest weapon you have
against Communism is your Bible
B and your Religion."
? In other words, American Citi
B zen, "Go to the church of your
A choice this Sunday ? and every
I
ing. It's your mightiest weapon
against the dark devices of Com
munism.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church if the greatest factor on earth for
the building of character and good citizenship.
It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization
can survive. There are four sound reasons why
every person should attend services regularly
and support the Church. They are: (1) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the
sake of his community and nation. (4) For the
sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral
and material support. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.
