SECTION THREE The National Outlook Political Prospects By Ralph Robey It is still too early for definite fortcasts on the outcome of .next elections, but there is almost <fAd)es discussion about the political prospects. Consen sus 'at present is that, unless something is done, Conservatives will suffer one of the worst de feats in many years. Note that we say “Conserva tives”, not Republicans or Demo crats- The reason for this termin ology isjvthat some of the best! Conservatives are Democrats, and some of the more extreme so called liberals are Republicans. Among reasons for this pessi mism on the Conservative out look, first place probably must be given to the recession. Among the New-Fair Dealers no oppoi;-1 tunity is missed to blame the] current business downturn upon l the Eisenhower Administration. | The “liberal”' Republicans are 1 not quite so outspoken in this re gard, but many of them have lit tle good to say for the Adminis traion and especially for the manner in which it handled recession problems. The same song is being sung by many others. Leon Keyserling, President Truman’s Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Robert Nathan, of the Ameri cans for Democratic Action, are two cases in point. Many labor leaders, of whom Walter Reuther is one example, are joining in the refrain. Apparently a substan tial proportion of the public be lieves this story. The fact is that the Eisenhower Administration did not cause the recession. Neither did the Fed eral Reserve Board, which fre quently is charged with having brought on the downturn by its money policy. And neither can be justly criticized for having failed to try to meet the problems caused by the recession. If any criticism is due it is on the basis that both the Administratipn and the Reserve Board have been too prone to take action. A second reason for the Con servative pessimism is that labor leaders, left-wingers, and the Democratic National Committee smell a great victory and are working the highways and by ways to assure it. On the other hand, the more conservative ele ment is inclined to take it easy and there has been a considerable number of Conservative members of the Congress who have an nounced they will not run for re election. The reasons given for th' ,< =e withdrawals have ranged over a wide area, but in quite a f WITH THE FARM WOMEN By VIRGINIA M. NANCE.

A third reason is along the same line. It is the belief, wide ly held, that the trend is definite ly away from conservatism and no one who does not support the liberal program has a chance from here on. There is no real basis for this belief, but it is exerting an enormous influence on current thinking. A fourth reason is the current primary in California. It had been widely recognized that Knowland would not have an easy walk away in that election, but it had not been expected that the Demo crats would show anything like the strength i they did. Certainly there are various explanations for the Democrat showing. Among these are that the Republican par ty was badly split, that labor went all out for knowland’s op ponent, and so forth. These ex planations, however, do not change the result. Neither do they provide too much ground for hope in the November election. A final reason needs to be men tioned. American business man agers as a whole are on the con servative side. Over the past two or three years they have become ( more and more disturbed by the policies being followed in Wash ington. The concern may not have been justified, but it has been real nevertheless. Does this mean that the Con servative cause is lost and that it is inevitable that the next Con gress be more tq the left than the present one? At present those taking the af firmative side of this question ap pear to have the better of the ar gument. But it still is a fairly long time until November, and if the believers in the conservative point of view will get out and work—work in politics as labor leaders are working—there is no reason for the complexion of Jhe next Congress to shift further to the left. Money will not do the job, although that is essential, and business firms, under the law. cannot do the job. This is a task for individuals thousands and thousands of them. There is plen ty to do, and plenty who know what needs to be done. The out come will depend upon whether there is enough determination to keep this nation on a path which is sound politically, economically, and ideologically. Home Agent Tennielean (Hill. Four-H members are helping in giving dairy foods demonstra tions at home demonstration clubs and civic organizations, while 4-H girls can be seen in uniform operating milk dispens ers on Mount Airy streets on Sat urdays. These energetic 4-H’ers are also helping stage a milking contest in Elkin and Mount Airy . . . Annabel T. Powers, Chat ham assistant home agent, re ports that 4-H club members are showing a great deal of interest in learning how to arrange flow ers for their homes and church es, and how to select the best containers and condition the flowers.

Fifteen Columbus Coun ty home demonstration club members certainly feel they know just about everything about first aid—all as a result! of earning cert ; ficates for the Red Cross First Aid courses taught by Home Agent Earline Gibson.

April was a busy month for the home dem onstration seamstresses in Samp son County, and their handiwork is much in evidence, according to Mrs. Virginia Evins, Home Agent. Each home demonstration club has had a dress revue, and re-1 cently they held a county-wide] dress revue at their county coun cil meeting where 27 winners from the clubs modeled their garments. Prizes were donated by five local stores in Clinton and one in Salemburg . , . 4-H club members in Pamlico County certainly know whether or not they’re healthy, especially since Home Agent Thelma McCotter has worked with the Health De partment to provide physical ex aminations for club members de siring them. On the basis of this physical and their health im provement records, the county health kings and au»ens have been named. 1 £/•$? jp/ 4#?

McCREADY «• r Jack Miller was up against it. Two years of college were be hind him. Two years were be sere him only if he could finance them. His father had suffered i a serious illness and could no longer aid him. Jack was to try | his hand at summer book-selling | in a rural section of his native county. He would soon start. Yet here he was, deliberately making a decision which might reduce his sales. An uncle of his was a bank president who enjoyed the 'friendship of a multitude of the i farm people. He had promised | Jack a letter of introduction. His nephew, sitting with him in .his spacious home, had just read 1 * the letter. j “Is it all right?” asked his un- I cle. ;l “It's fine—almost too good,” Jack answered. "There's one sentence I believe I’d rather have left out.” “Well, bring it by the bank in the morning and we’ll change ;' it.” •i Two days later the college boy i set out. Tne revised letter he carried in the prospectus of the large volume he had to sell. The weeks of the summer slip- 1 ped by. Jack trudged many ■ miles, and had some memorable expediences. In a remote and run-down region he was invitedi one afternoon to act as a “wait-! er” at a wedding about to take! place. As he sat in the shack | which the bride called home,! battling the flies while the prep-! arations for the ceremony were completed, he learnd what the duties of a waiter were—to act as a sort of extra best man for the groom. He attended one night a 1 real country revival, and slept on another night in a garret where numerous smoked hams hung above his head. He rested peace-1 fully until morning, when he I suddenly heard steps on the stairs, and then saw a man com-! ing toward him with a large! knife to cut down a ham for [ breakfast. The people were. kindly and hospitable and bought j his book in sufficient numbers to make his efforts worth while. By the end of the summer he had earned five hundred dollars and enjoyed much fresh air and! exercise. Back home, he ex- j pressed his thanks to his uncle for the helpful letter and gave j him a first-hand account of his experience. j The older man listened with much interest. Then he asked a | question. “Jack," he said quizzically, “why did you want that one sen-1 tence omitted from the letter I j first wrote for you; the sentence iu which I stated that you were 1 studying for the ministry?” ( “It was for this reason," Jack replied; “there are some people who feel that ministerial students 0 0 O ..DU weed « dentlete ml ***«4»rf«f’ • • • *b««t I't* ew ased” ... •best tooth paste ea the market* “THE PEOPLE’S bank i 3% Interest Paid On Savings Accounts j (Compounded Semi-annually) I i EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA j Formerly The Bank of Edenton n i MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION DEPOSITS INSURED TO SIO,OOO LISTEN TO PEOPLES PROFILE EACH MORNING AT 8:20 O'CLOCK OVER THE LOCAL RADIO STATION , PROFILE FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 9. 1958 MRS.
