that is alarming many members:
of Congress is the extent of thei
current publicity car paign to]
brain Wash the public into be- j
lieving that Conservatives can
never get anywhere politically j
unless they transfn m themselves
into rabid “liber; s”.
What the ruolic is not told
is the fact t! at virtually all of
the disseminators of this pro
liberal point of view are ardent
New Dealers—and the wish is i
father of the thought.
The members cf Congress who
object to the type of campaign
being waged point out that the
closeness of the recent election
indicates that, the more conserva
tive viewpoint has a real chance:
of victory in the future.
These congressmen applaud
the non-partisan manner with
which a majority of newsmen'
handle political developments.'
They also recognize that edi
torial writers and columnists'
have considerable latitude in in-1
terpreting what has taken place
and in forecasting the future.
But what is objected to is the
tendency of some newsmen and
editors to place undue emphasis (
on news with a liberal tinge
and to play down—or ignore—
developments which place Con
servatives in an attractive light.
There were a number of com
plaints along this line during the
political campaign and some
members of Congress say that
the pro-liberal slanting of news i
could have been an important |
factor in deciding close contests. |
There also have been a num-1
her of post-election complaints,
of this nature —resulting from
undue emphasis on liberalism cs,

the hope; of the future and a
reluctance to present the ad
vantages of the Conservative
point of view.
The Conservatives are con
vinced that there is a trend in
their direction—a trend that can
be stimulated by an effective
campaign reaching the grass
roots.
As part of this campaign, they
are demanding that no discrimi
nation be displayed against news
presenting the Conservative
viewpoint.
They are willing to let the
people decide between Conserva
tives and Liberals—provided the
people are able to obtain the
facts and the arguments.
Ammunition For
Conservatives
Conservatives find support for
their contention in the fact that
Vice President Nioxn carried 228'
congressional districts while Sen-i
ator Kennedy carried only 206.
Political observers say this can;
be construed as indicating that!
the nation as a whole favored [
a more conservative Congress—
and, in fact, elected one.
Republicans picked jjp 22 •
House Seats and two Senate
seats. The new House will be
composed of 261 Democrats and
176 Republicans. The new Sen
ate wili consist of 64 Democrats
and 36 Republicans.
The real test, however, is in
the strength displayed by the j
coalition of Southern Democrats |
and Conservative Republicans.
An analysis of the new House
indicates that there is good rea
son to expect that the coalition
will be able to muster a ma
jority vote on many basis issues.
This analysis is. of course,
based on the assumption that
the Conservatives will vote their
real convictions—and that some,
of them will not be swayed by!
political pressures.
The 228 to 206 congressional
district vote favoring Vice Presi
dent Nixon (the three others
were carried by unpledged elec
tors in Mississippi) was compiled
by the American Good Govern
ment Society.
This organization also esti
mates that, had the electoral col
lege reform advocated bv Sena
tor Mundt (R-S.D.) been in ef
fect. Mr. Nixon would have been
elected with 283 electoral votes
—l3 more than the required 269.
Senator Mundt already has an
nounced that he will re-introduce
his resolution for a constitutional
amendment to bring about the
electoral college reform. Under
it. each state would have two.
electors (one for each Senator)
and an additional one for each
Representative.
Thus, a presidential candidate
would receive two electoral
votes for each state he carried,
plus one each for each congress
ional district in the state he car
ried.
Under the present system, a
presidential candidates receives
all of a state's electoral votes if
he carries the state by even a
margin of one vote.

Bladen Girls Make Own
Christmas Cards
The 4-H girls in Bladen Coun
ty have become more interested
in making their own Christmas
cards since Miss Susan Currie,
assistant home economics agent,
showed an easy way to make
them.
Miss Carrie brought out that
most of the materials used when
making Christmas cards were
found around. home —such as a
box, screen wire, and a tooth
brush. She said, “You can cut
your designs Jrorn old cards or
create your dton designs.”
Angels From Tin Can Tops
Many old l tin cans will be
hanging from Christmas trees in
Dare County this year. How
ever, they wbl be in the form
of angels, bells and other
decorations.
Mrs. Beulah’ Gaylord, home
economics agent, says Mrs. Hu
bert Guthrie is busy teaching
tin can craft to 4-H boys and
girls. Some of the 4-H’ers are
going to use the decorations in
their own homes but the 4-H’ers j
at Kitty Hawk are going to sell
their products to raise money 1
for a class project.

Freezing Fish
Since many families have fish
ponds on their farms now, Mrs.
Annabel Powers, assistant home
economics agent in Chatham
County, has been demonstrating
to 4-H girls the correct way to
freeze fish.
“We discussed the kinds of
fish to freeze, the handling and
dressing of fish, importance of
using parchment paper, the
drug store’ wrap, and the plac
ing of fish in the freezer,” re
ports Mrs. Powers.
Buying Coals And Suits
..“Examine the inside of a coat
or suit before buying,” said Miss
Nancy Lewis, home economics
agent in Wayne County, as she
discussed qualities to look for in
garments.
Miss Lewis showed the Home
Demonstration Club women a
well-made three-piece suit and
coat and then compared it with
a poorly constructed garment.
They compared the garments on
style, color, design, warmth fea
tures, workmanship, material and
cost.

Some Questions About TB
And The Answers
Here are the questions people
most often ask about tubercu
losis, with the answers;
If I get TB, what are my
chances of a cure? Excellent, if
your illness is found early
enough and you complete the
treatment your doctor prescribes.
There are 1,750,000 people living
today who once had active TB.
Can TB be cured at home? In
a few cases, yes. But mast TB
patients should start treatment
in the hospital, where there are
laboratories to make all the ne
cessary tests, a staff of doctors
to plan treatment, and good
nursing care.
How long would I have to stay

DAYS if not pleased. NOW at
MITCHENER'S PHARMACY
in the hospital? There is no
one answer to this question,
since each TB patient is differ
ent. TB cure may take several
months in the hospital and con
tinued treatment at home for a
year or two.
How is TB cured today? TB
is treated mostly with drugs, to
help bring the germs under con
trol. Good food and rest are
also important. Surgery may be
needed to remove part of a dam
aged lung.
Once I am cured of TB, can I
get it again? It’s possible, unless
you are careful to eat the prop
er food, get enough rest, avoid
emotional stress, and keep your
resistance high so you don’t get
frequent infections.
How can I tell if I have TB?
You can’t, because in its early
stages TB causes no symptoms
that anyone could -notice. But
a tuberculin test and if the test
is positive, a chest X-ray, can
tell your doctor if you have TB.
Consult nothing so much upon
every occasion as discretion. It
is more discreet to be silent
than to speak.
