PAGE FOUR Employment And Wages In State At Highest Point Average Weekly Wage In Chowan County $31.69 Both total employment and aver age weekly wages reached the high est point in history of North Caro lina during the last quarter of 1947, exceeding even the war-time peak reached in 1942, it is shown in a com pilation made by S. F. Campbell, di rector of Research and Statistics, for Chairman Henry E. Kendall, of the State’s Employment Security Com mission. The average employment for that quarter, subject to the Employment Security Law, was 649,307, or 11 per cent above the average for 1946, 23.4 per cent above 1945, and 9.8 per cent above the peak war year of 1942. The average weekly wages in the fourth quarter of last year are not comparable with wages in other quar ters, due to the practice of including bonuses in the last month’s wages on earnings during the entire year. The average weekly wage in the fourth quarter was $42.03, as compared with $37.81 for the third quarter, which is nearer an accurate measure of wages. The compilation shows that aver age weekly wages in North Carolina increased more than 100 per cent since 1939, yet, when compared with the national averages, the relative position of North Carolina has been VOTE FO R Donald Boone Sherrill Democratic Candidate —for N.

COHOON WILL APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE AND SUPPORT FOR IS YEARS EXPERIENCE AS A__ PROSECUTING ATTORNEY Public Office Belongs to the People And Is a Public Trust • No candidate, whether elected or appointed to fill a va cancy, has any other rightful claim to succeed himself, except that, first, he shall have adequately discharged the duties of that office, and, secondly, that he shall have mer ited the continued esteem and approval of the people to whom the office belongs. Any assertion to the contrary, whether based upon the plea of precedent or otherwise, is not only mere political argument but disputes the prin ciple that public office belongs to the people.

MELVILLE BROUGHTON . ' CANDIDATE FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE / As Governor, Legislator and Public Servant, Former Governor Broughton Took An Active Part in the Accomplishment of These Progressive Measures for the Farmer: V * m Former Governor Broughton has been engaged actively in farming for over twenty-five years and is himself a flue-cured tobacco grower. 2 Mr. Broughton hat been active in securing better prlcee for tobacco. In October, 1943, while he was """ Governor when the price for tobacco collapsed, he declared a marketing holiday and kept the mar kets closed until he was successful in working out plans for bettor prices and a stabilized market. In 1945 he personally appeared before officials of the Office of Price Administration insisting on an increase in the ceiling price for tobacco. The increase was granted which meant more than 10 million dollars to the growers of tobafcco. In 1946 he appeared before the proper government agencies insisting that ceil- ' ing prices and allocations on tobacco be abolished. This was done and meant millions of dollars to the > growers. 2 He has long been a member of the Farm Bureau and State Grange and has probably spoken to more farmers in farm meetings than any person in the State. He delivered one of the principal addresses at the annual meeting of the National Grange at Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1944. He appeared on the program of the National Farm Bureau meeting at San Francisco in December, 1946. A Mr. Broughton was instrumental in establishing the Flue-Cured Tobacco Stabilization Corporation which, has meant many millions of dollars in increased income to farmers. He prepared the charter and by-laws for this organization and has worked closely with the organization since its establishment B Mr. Broughton in 1947 drafted the legislation authorizing the establishment of Tobacco Associates, Inc., and prepared the charter and by-laws for the organization. Tobacco Associates is proving to be of great benefit to tobacco growers in the European Recovery Program and the continuation of satisfactory Fed * eral farm legislation for tobacco. C Mr. Broughton has been actively connected with the dairy industry of the State. While he was Gov * ernor he approved the program and procured the allocation of funds to set up at State College the best dairy equipment for institutional purposes to be found in any institution of the South. wm Mr. Broughton has shown great interest in other agricultural crops produced in North Carolina, such ■■ as cotton, peanuts, and fruits and vegetables. He collaborated with State Marketing Specialists in draft ing the Commodity Referendum Act passed 6$ the 1947 General Assembly under which farmers may act jointly with dealers and processors in promoting the sale, distribution and consumption of farm prod ucts. At the present time he is advocating the establishment of processing plants for Irish potatoes to place potato-growing on a sounder and more profitable basis in North Carolina. • i •. . , ' . ■■ _. *' *. • V •/; ON THE BASIS OF THIS RECORD J.
