Washington. D. C.? From ev?y
financial and business quarter the
bcvi for Um business man is good
That doc* not mean that every
segment of business la to prosper
but it doea mean that the total
economy la expected to move
ahead and that the grou national
product and total profits will be
higher in the next year than they
have been In the Past.
Of course, the trend upward is
natural, since the country's popu
lation is ever increasing and there
fore the demand for goods is in
creasing alao. Added to this arc
the pay raise* granted this year
and one haa a natural momentum
for higher sale* totals and larger
profits.
The general idea among most
economists is that business is cer
tain to be good until June or July
of 1097. The economists have been
wrong before, and could be this
time, but they agree, generally,
that business is sure to be good
for another nine months and that
after this no bust is to follow.
These forecaats add impetus to
'.he already-certain price .spiral,
affecting more and more consum
er goods each day. That the cost
of living is definitely headed up
is no longer just a prediction but
a budgetary fact to most Amer
icans. Just where the end is to the
current plane of prosperity and
high sale* ? is not apparent at this
stage.
There are rumors floating
around Europe that Egyptian rul
er Gamel Nasser is on his way
out. The reason is .supposed to be
discontent cropping up among
merchants, industrialists and busi
ness men who now, find that nor
mal commercial relations with the
democracies are shattered beyond
repair.
The impact of this rupture is
Just beginning to make itself felt.

most British and French ships to
bypass the Suez Canal, taking the
long route below the southern tip
of Africa, revenue from the canal

homeroom teacher, Mrs. Kathy
Wallace, who is a newcomer to the
high school faculty.

will drqp sharply and Nasser not
only will bt unable to' finance a
dam project but probably will
find himself confronted with a
desperate problem of balancing
the canal's books, aa between In
come and maintenance.
If the problem becomes acute,
and the average Egyptian begins
to feel the pinch, Nasser might be
faced with a choice of starting a
war against Israel or risking loss
of power. That might again bring
the Middle East to the brink of
war. ,
The victories of Democratic can
I dictates in several states recently
have convinced the G. O. P. high
j command that a hard race must
I be run this fall. Not that these
events were needed to spur Presi
dent Eisenhower on. Already, be
fore the Republican convention,
Ike had made up his mind to run
| a hard race, despite his heart at
j tack.
The President will not take it
easy to such an extent that his
critics can make an issue of It.
The President will do considerable
| traveling and he will make more
speeches than he first planned to
make, when he announced his de
cision- to be the candidate again in
March.
Moreover, the Eisenhower tone
(and the Republican tone) in this
year's campaign will not be the
quiet, ultimate confidence of
Thomas Dewey in 1948. It will be
a mood of getting out and hustling
votes in a race that is expected to
be no pushover. '
Naturally, the Democrats are
cheered by recent elections, es
pecially in Maine, and they are
more than ever convinced that
their strategy ? carrying the South
and enough big key states and
farm states ? will put Adlai Stev
enson in the White House in his
sccond race against Ike.
The odds takers are still confi
dent the Republican candidate
will win. The odds have narrowed
but you still have to put tip more
money to take Ike than to take
Adlai. The pollsters are now about
ready to begin springing their
canvass results, however, and this
will have a definite affect on the
odds ? especially if the Eisenhow
er margin is very large.
French Foreign Minister Pineau
declared his country did not wish
to use force in the crisis, but
neither would it bow to force.

WEST KING STREET BOONE, NORTH CA?OUNA
Garden Time
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
With the com In* of the fall sea
son, we begin to think of lawn*
and lawn gra**e* for both tempor
ary winter lawn* and for perman
ent one*. In moct of North Caro
lina the fall month* are the beat
time of the year to build perman
ent law** became the young grass
e? have a chance to become well
eatablUbed before next summer'*
heat and dry weather. If you are
interested in building a new lawn
this fall ask your county agent for
John Harris' Extension Circular
on "Carolina Lawns".
In our mountain areas a good
lawn can be established easily
and maintained by using Kentucky
bluegrass or Merion biuegress. In
Piedmont and eastern North Caro
lina it is much more difficult to
maintain a good lawn because of
the long hot summers. There are
a number of good grasses avail
able for these areas including the
bluegrasses, the strains of Zoysia
grass, Centipede, Tall Fescue" and
Bermuda. The bluegraues and
Tall Feicue will remain green
during the winter.
Zoyiia, Centipede and Bermuda
should be planted in late spring,
not in'thfc fall. Root* are common
ly u*ed to start all three of these
grasses; however, seeds are avail
able for Centipede and Bermuda.
I should like to say a few words
about winter lawns. Host estab
lished lawns in the eastern por
tion of this state are of Bermuda
grass, crabgrass, Dallas grass, blue
grass or a mixture of these and
others. All except bluegrass will
turn brown at the first hard frost.
We are blessed with mild winters
over most of the state, and it is
very desirable to keep our lawns
green the year around.
This is possible by sowing Ital
ian ryegrass in the established sod
during late September or early
October. If your permanent sod is
heavy it may require five pounds
of ryegrass seed per 1,000 square
feet of lawn. If the sod is not
heavy, two to three- pound* per
1,000 square feet should be suffi
cient. Italian ryegrass is an an
nual and will die out next June.
By that time the permanent grass
es should take over again. Since
bluegras* remain* fairly green in
winter, it is not recommended
that ryegrass be planted in a good
bluegraas lawn. The spring grow
th of ryegraaa if often very heavy g
and may kill out the bluegraaa. Ia ?
order to give a good dark green g
color to the ryegriM, it should be
fertilized before planting. About
two poupdi of an M4 or other b
nod tardea fertilizer per 100
quare feet of bwt should five
ood results.
Industry chalks up record first
islf year earnings.
In epite of the progress that ha*
been made la controlling Ineerti,
tt if estimated that In the United
State* loss from insect damage and
cast of their control amount to ''
four billien dollar* annually.

?a kind of elegance never before seen in
the low-price field. lb make a car truly
elegant, you must start deep-down inside.
TlwNtwIiiMrftnl
The Inner Ford? the car you cannot see?
is a very remarkable structure. Its frame
is actually a cradle. Side members extend
almost the full body width; they serve not
only as supporting members but as con
cealed side bumpers of immense strength.
Tit* N?w Ford My
7 he new Ford body is a triumph of engi
neering in steel. The doors cloae with the
solid finality of /bank vault. Even the
door-lock button has been moved up

the children's reach. 0
All these features were engineered to
give you a solid new kind of comfort.
TK* N*w Ford Rid*
The New Kind of Ford sits six people, as
me other krw-priccd car has ever sat them
? six elbows wide in each teat, with deep
?pace around each one of six knee*. Ana
above all that space, there's hat room to
spare for all six pauengerv
The 1957 Ford ride? low, solid, with a
firm, deep road-holding (cel. Yet it't a
light-hearted, flight hearted ride? thii car
is responsive, nimble, agile, with a proud
easy movement.
Tt? N?w Ford Choka
Ford offers not only one, but two sin of
cars . . . each on its own extended wheel
base . . . each with in own body shell . . .
each with its own styling.
First, the two Fairlane Series on a 1 1S
inth wheelbase. The Fairlane 500'i come
in 5 body types, a four -door sedan, a two
door sedan, a two- and four-door Victoria
with no center pillars, and a convertible
coupe. The same body types (except for
the convertible) are available in the Fair
lane Series.
Second, two Custom Series mounted on
the 116-inch wheelhase chassis. In the
Custom MO Series, a four-door and a two
door sedan are distinguished from the
Custom models by more luxuriosis inte
riore and elaborate trim. The Custom
Strict also includes a Business Sedan.
Beyond all these, you also have your
choice ofrfive Station Wagons? the famous
glamour cruisers that are the champions
in this field!

That low, low cradle-span frame means a
low, low car. The Fairlane 500 is only four
feet eight inches from road to roof! The
Custom is just over four feet nine inchcsl
The new Ford is not only km? but long.
Ford gives you more than 17 feet of ele
gant length in the Fairlane Series, a shade
