SECTION ONE PAGE SIX Improvement Os Gr?en Again Woman’s Qub Principal Topic At the February meeting of the Edenton Woman’s Club held Wednesday of last week, a most worthwhile, timely and in formative talk on stocks and bonds was presented by Joe Thigpen, sales representative for First Securities Investment Cor poration of Williamston, N, C, He touched on all phases of buying and selling stock and bonds and described in detail how one can make money in buying stock 95 per cent of the time. An art show will be presented April 23-24 through the schools, both local and county. The art show has proven very helpful for promising art students in the past and it is hoped that many entries will be submitted again this year. A bicycle safety campaign is scheduled for the last week in February. This, too. will be presented through the schools in order to contact most of the bi cycle riders and to put before them the many rules for safety that may never reach them oth erwise. All members of the club were again urged to vote on Tuesday, February 16, for the bond issue which will be used for the sew age disposal system. The club has endorsed this bond issue, worked toward having this sew age disposal system installed for several years and has shown every willingness in seeing this project successfully completed. The community planning com mittee of the Edenton Foman's Club again discussed the pro posed improvements for the Green and at the end of Broad Street. This committee has spent many hours, much money and enlisted many talents in their continuous effort to pro mote for Edenton a long range program of restoration and pre servation and to enlist an out standing landscape architect for a long range program of beauti fication. The Green and the site at the end of Broad Street was picked as the proposed sites of improvement. The commit tee further proposed the moving of one of the monuments and placing it at the south end of Broad Street. This monument will be placed in an area 30 feel by 162 , 'i feet and will lie in keeping with many historical and beautiful shrines which iavc been preserved and re stored in Edenton for which we are so famous. It was not their proposal to destroy anything, neither to deface the value nor the beauty of Edenton. This committee is made up of inter ested Edentonians whom we all know and trust and their deri sions have been reached after much discussion. The Edenton Woman's Club has spent over $12,000 for resto ration over a period of 10 years. This money was made on the historical tours which the club has conducted in Edenton and adjoining countryside.

The National Outlook | “Shared Responsibility” By Ralph Robey Under the Employment Act of 1946 the President is required o make an economic report to he Congress shortly after the ,'irst of each year. The report prepared largely by the Council >f Economic Advisers, always eviews the developments of he previous year and indicates vhat is ahead and what the 1 •overnment plans to do about it. The council is composed of three uembers and under it is a small j troup of research experts. Chairman of the present council s Dr. Raymond J. Saulnier. Just as the State of the Un-j on and the Budget messages.! he Economic Report is. by its* lature, a political document and his must be kept in mind in -eading and appraising it How ver, the report is more nearly i political showcase than a po ’itical platform. In the 1960 report the term ‘shared responsibility" is used .ime after time to describe our conomic system. It clearly re lects the conviction of the Ad ninistration that government an not, and must not be ex acted to. carry the full respon ubility for our progress and >rosperity. This, obviously, is a sound ihilosophy and it is regrettable hat it did not become control ng long ago. At present gov rnment is spending an incredi >le amount of the nation's in ome. The federal budget itself s just short of SBO billion, rhet does not include the trust unds. When these are added he total is $96 billion. Those ire expenditures. Total receipts ire over $lO2 billion. State and local expenditures ire about S4O billion. For the nation as a whole, therefore, i :overnment at all levels is con- 1 ruling about Sl4O billion of spending. Our national income s a shade over S4OC billion This means that federal, state ind local government is direct ng the spending of approxi mately one-third of our national income. * It is said that nothing can be done about this volume of spending, and there is a large, irticulate group which main-1 Bridge - Turn Service Station Under New Management This is to notify the public that I have purchased the Bridge Turn Service Station from Paul Partin, effective Friday, February 5.

There is no justification for increasing total spending, and the only signifi cant argument for insisting that the total can not be reduced is that the public is demanding all the services and present activi ties of government. We all know that the public] is demanding nothing of the 1 kind: Many of the services and activities of government are the result of pressure groups and they can be cut back anytime the public decides that we have gone too far in turning respon sibility and functions over to government. This is one of the reasons why it is so encouraging to have the Economic Reoort place such emphasis upon "shared respon sibility.’’ The drawback is that the budget and proposed pro gram do not fo’low through on "shared responsibility.” Almost very major item in the federal budget shows 19G1 spending higher than 1960. and the aggre gate increase is $1.4 billion. And President Eisenhower in his letter of transmittal savs: "We are confident that our changing and increasing needs in the fu ture can be met ...” There is no doubt that we can meet any needs that are neces sary. but we can not go ahead COMPRESSED AIR USED TO REMOVE HAIR WITHOUT V THE USE OF POWDER!

This effect is likely to be unfavorable. | The time has arrived when we should call a halt to increased spending. It can be done if the public lets the Congress and state and local government units know that it wants and demands a reversal of the cur rent upward trend of spending. Marine Corps Is Seeking Seniors Marine Recruiter Gene Wilson says high school seniors are be ing advised to enlist in the Ma rine Corps before graduation, and that he expects no reper cussions from or school authorities. The seniors will not be ordered to active dutyi until after graduation. t I Sgt. Wilson said the delayed active duty program allows him. to guarantee qualified young men a place in the Marine Corps. Otherwise, lowered recruiting! quotas make it necessary to' place an applicant’s name on aj waiting list until .there is an| opening. The delayed active duty pro gram permits those accepted to remain home up to 120 days before being ordered to recruit, training. “Buddies” who enlist together l will be assigned .to the samej unit for recruit training.

CH°w#jv News By HARRY VENTERS Assistant County Agent The school 4-H Clubs at Cho wan, John A. Holmes and Eden ton Elementary schools have met this week. Miss Catherine Aman gave the girls a demonstration on “How to Give a Method Demonstra tion”. As you probably know, this is an important part of the 4-H program, and a part Cho wan 4-H’ers have been very successful with, over the years. It’s quite a while before the district demonstration contests, 'but it’s not too soon for 4-H’ers i to start thinking about and I planning a demonstration.

A new farm tractor with proper maintenance and care will last for many, many years and give very little trouble. A new farm tractor with poor maintenance and poor care may be ruined and became useless within two or three years and, in addition to this, it may be giving trouble during the busy season.
