Senator Says De feat Will Be a Step Backward “A defeat of the marketing quo tas on cotton and peanuts in the ref erendum of December would be a backward step and could endanger the entire farm program,” Senator Alton Lennon said recently. ■" “I would like to emphasize that these referendums are a vote on mar keting quotas and are not a vote on acreage allotments. Acreage allot ments will be in effect regardless of the way the vote goes on December 15th,” he said, “but if marketing quo tas are defeated price supports for cotton and peanuts will probably drop to 50 per cent of parity price for co operators and no support for non-co operators. Senator Lennon also said, “This means, in effect, that the vote on De cember 15th is whether or not we want 90 per cent support or 50 per cent support.” “We in North Carolina cannot af-| ford to vote against any marketing quota program,” Senator Lennon said, ■“as most of you know, the farm pro gram as now authorized, provides many benefits to North Carolina farmers. In fact, North Carolina de rives more from our present farm programs than any other state in the Union. For example, let’s stop and think just what North Carolina would be without a tobacco program. To bacco contributes around 60 per cent of our total farm income but this per centage would be reduced substantial ly if there were no program in exist ence. Even though we do not pro duce tobacco in all parts of the state, anything that affects the tobacco grower affects the total economy of the state. We must retain our tobac co program, and to retain that pro gram we must endeavor to have a well-rounded program for all types of commodities. There is a definite dan ger if we fail to support agricultural programs on other commodities 1 ,” the Senator declared. Senator Lennon pointed out that the vote on December 15th would be for one year on cotton and for three years on peanuts. “As an example,” Senator said, “Failure to approve this would, in the case of cotton, mean the difference between a guaranteed support _ COLORED SCHOOL I i NEWS I j The Hornet Staff of Edenton High I School accepted an invitation from j St. Augustine’s College to participate .in the organization of a press confer jencc.

Safety ResDonsibility Law Is To Reduce Accident Toll North Carolina’s new Safety Re sponsibility Law should aid material ly in reducing the traffic accident toll in this State, according to George S. Twiddy, local representative of the Northwest Casualty Company. Mr. Twiddy pointed out that the av erage motorist does not fully realize the tremendous number of people that are killed oi injured each year on North C"volina highways. He cited some figures derived from nationwide accident statistics, to illustrate the gravity of the problem: “Last year on the highways there was an automobile accident every 18 minutes: each 95 minutes someone was THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, fc C., THPfIffDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1953. injured; and each 33 oo- ' 51 some per son lost his life in an automobile ac cident. Remember, this record went on around the clock—24 hours a day [ —365 days a year.” . 1 The new Safety Responsibility Law ! will remove from our highways mar/ , of the careless, irresponsible motor ists who cause accident after accident; and who never have made any effort to assume their rightful responsibility to reimburse the victims of their j gross negligence.
