THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT And be ye not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your irund, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.—Romans 12:2. Results Are What Count Only recently two Chowan County 4-H boys hung up enviable records which bears out the wisdom of farm practices as recommended by the 4-H program. Wallace Reid l’eele, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raleigh I’eele, recently won the honor of the State’s 4-H peanut growing cham pion, having produced 2,(597 pounds of peanuts to an acre of land. Since then Carl Ober, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ober, was declared winner of a corn growing contest in Chowan County, sponsored by the Lions Club, 'i oung Ober produced 104.4 bushels of corn per acre. Both boys carried out farm practices as recommended by the county agents, and surely the results cannot be considered merely as a streak of good luck. The purpose of 4-H work is not only to develop more scientific farm ers among the youth, but as these boys produce more and better crops, it is the belief that their elders will depart from some of the old-time methods to accept more improved practices which in turn will benefit the farmer, both as to the size of crops as well as the price paid for better quality produced. What has been done by Wallace Reid Peele and Carl Ober can also be done by other boys, as well as farmers with many years of experience but who hesitate to de part from their accustomed methods. It is hard to con vince a farmer that his way is not the best, but when accomplishments such as the above mentioned boys are brought to light, there should be a desire to at least have some respect for the wisdom of the 4-H program. Results are what count, so that the farmer who, like an enterprising business man, keeps abreast of the times, is the one who will benefit most. Will It Be “Boom And Bust?” In a thoughtful article. David Lawrence recently ob served that our economic system is out of balance due to the war—.and has been kept out of balance by the Ad ministration’s floundering policies on wages and prices and by the tendency of labor union ooliticians to be shortsighted. Their increased wage demands without in creased production are backfiring in the form of high prices which, in turn, will backfire because the prices in many instances will be too high for the public to pay. “The vicious circle has to end somehow,” said Mr. Lawrence. “It can end in one of two ways. Either a depression will come which will open the eyes of the people, including shortsighted labor leaders. Or else leadership will arise from government or Congress or the ranks of labor to applv restraints on the arbitrary use of economic power. The policy of encouraging ‘more pay for less work" has been disastrous.” We are hearing much talk of “boom and bust” now. and it is coming from responsible circles. It is reported, as a typical example, that automobile makers are be coming definitely worried that the greatly increased prices for cars will prove to be a strong sales depressant. And these higher car prices like all other prices, are mainly the result of big increases in pay to labor with an actual decrease instead of an increase in labor’s pro ductivity. We’re moving swiftly toward some kind of a climax. Labor should begin to wonder just what its unbridled demands may to do it in the future. The underdog always has our sympathy as long as he behaves like a nice underdog. Have you met people that talk all the time without giving you any idea of what they have in their minds? The world is populated by two classes of people, those who want publicity and those who get it. : ATTENTION j ' Tobacco Growers j McNair’s Yield-Tested Tobacco Seed Dan Now Be j Purchased From Your Local Dealer ’ Gilliam Brothers j , WINDSOR, N.

C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1947. ! Heard & Seen j _____ By-W * I’ve had to do some tall explaining since Christmas all on account of “Fats” Tannei, former Chief of Police in Edenton, who now holds a similar position in Green ville. Jordan Yates, Henry Smith, “Fats” and myself were scheduled to leave Christmas night to spend the remainder of the week in New York City on more or less of a lark. The Edenton trio was all cocked and primed for the trip, but at the last minute “Fats” let it be known that he is having a big argument with high blood pressure and, therefore, felt it advisable not to make the trip. Incidentally, he’s obliged to rest a couple of hours each day, confined to certain kinds of food, and besides advised by his physician that if he wants to stay here he’ll have to get rid of about 50 pounds of avoirdu pois in short order. “Fats" enjoys life, so he decided he better follow the doctor's orders and try to reduce, but if he made the trip to New York there would have been no inducement to cut down on his rations. It would, however, have held down expenses so far as meals are concerned, but who in the dickens wants to go to New York anil lose a couple of hours resting or sleeping? Anyway, we didn’t go. A local colored man had some hard tuck, or maybe it was good luck, just before Chi istmas. He had a quart of whiskey in his pocket and in hustling around, the bottle fell’to the ground and broke. He had a very dis appointed look as he glanced at the stuff and then said. “Well, Chrishnius is done come and gone.” And speaking about Christmas, it was very quietly ob served in Edenton. [n fact on follow told tee he con sumed less than a pint of whiskey over the holidays. “I j had a good supply on hand, too," he said, “but I'm pre serving it, and don't have to put any salt in it, either, j Another fellow develop d a very bad cold over the j holidays and, of course, lvis friends advanced all kinds! of methods to get rid of it, among which was to use j quinine and whiskey, lie went to the drug store and! bought some quinine and an obliging clerk asked what he intended to do with it. “Well,” he said, "I’ve been advised to buy quinine and whiskey to get rid of this cold. I’m going to put the quinine in the cupboard while I drink the whiskey.” o . Maybe Christmas business has been brisk, but one j thing is noticeable this year. Many times in years past , on Christmas eve store windows were practically gutted! and very little Christmas merchandise remained. This | year, however, many store w indow s were just about as j full after Christmas as they were when the stuff was put in to attract shoppers. About the only reason I call i figure out is the ridiculous price put on some items, j which just don’t make sense. Anyhow, maybe people are ! not as foolish after all as some manufacturers think j they are, and the outlandish prices might serve as a i boomerang. The lower end of Broad .street just doesn’t seem the' same since the E. & W. boys have moved “up town” on West Freemason Street. Many have been the times I, as well as a lot of others, dropped in the old power plant at nights to chat with Friend Charlie Russell, as • well as Will Skinner, on the day shift. The change j makes it more convenient for Charlie to go and come ■ from work, but it adds to Mr. Skinner’s w alking. Any-1 way, what I’d like to know is who in the dickens will! use the power plant vacated by the K. & W. The Herald knocked off for just about a week over Christmas, so that it was rather hard to get out the paper this week. In fact, the whole bloomin’ crew acted just about like two-thirders, so here’s one who is slowly recovering from a good dose of laziness. Like a youngs ter, I’m glad to see Christmas come, but on the other hand just about as glad when it’s all over. How about you ? p Well, here we are starting a new year—l 947. My biggest job for a while will be to get used to using 1947 instead of 194(5 when writing letters, or using dates in The Herald. With the starting of a new year, who can tell what lies ahead for each one of us? Some will meet with success, others failure, no doubt. Some will have reason to be sad and others happy. There will be those who will undergo ill health and those who will eniov splendid health. Some will die during the year. It’s a good thing we do not know what we are to f >ce in the future, so let’s not worry and try to cross a bridge before, we get to it, so here’s wishing you all a Happy New Year. Edenton was more like itself for a week or more with the college boys and girls home for the holidays. They’re a fine set of young people, but as many of us grow older its rather disconcerting to see these young people and fail to recognize them. It doesn’t take the youngsters long to grow up, so that it’s very easy for older folks to lose track of them.
