Farm Income Some Higher Than Previous Year Farmers received about 4.5 bil lion dollars in the first 2 months of 1957, slightly more than in the same months last year.' Prices averaged 4 percent higher than a year ago), but the volume of mar ketings was down a little. Receipts From livestock and products of 2.6 billion dollars were 6 percent above last year because of higher average prices. Receipts from cat tle, hogs, and wholesale milk con tributed most to the increase. Crop receipts were about 1.9 bil lion dollars, 4 percent below a year ago, mostly because of smaller re ceipts from cotton. Total receipts in February are tentatively estimated at 2.0 billion dollars, slightly above last year. Average prices were up 3 percent but total marketings were down slightly. Receipts from livestock and products of 1.2 billion dollars were 4 percent above a year ago, with hog prices up substantially. Crop receipts of 0.8 billion dollars were about the same as last year.

There are millions of people to ask. Over 40,000,000 working Americans own U. S. Savings Bonds? more than 41 billion dollars worth. Most of them have done it by saving small amounts reg ularly through the Payroll Savings Plan. It's the easiest, surest way to save ? a good way fair you. And here's another thing to remember. Savings Bonds are one of the world's soundest savings ? plans. The U. S. Government, most powerful in the world, guarantees your principal in Bonds safe up to any amount ? guarantees sure the rate of interest you receive.

FARM FILLERS QUESTION : What's the best way to protect against bloat and off flavors in milk? ANSWER: For the safety of the cows and the taste of the milk, dairymen should not let their cows go out on the lush green pastures at the beginning of spring without first having been fed some kind of roughage ? either hay or silage. If the cows are not completely empty when turned on the pasture, it stands to reason that they will not eat as much and as fast. QUESTION : 4 How has North Car olina's changing agriculture af fected the family-operated farm? ANSWER: Even though farms are becoming larger, most still remain as "family" farms. It is becomng apparent fewer and larg er farms do not mean a trend to ward large-scale farming with farms being operated primarily with hired labor. Some 96 per cent of all commercial farms are still family-operated farms - a figure Reasons For Mass Murder On State Highways Given BILL CROWELL Department of Motor Vehicle* Raleigh, N. C. Since 1937 nearly 20,000 persons have been killed on our North Car olina streets and highways. ^ In two short decades we have decimated the population of a fair sized city with the automobile. Naturally the question arises "Why?" Why does a supposedly civilized society try to commit slow genocide? That's tne big question. Until it's answered this state will continue to liquidate its driving and walk ing citizens at an alarming rate. Certainly one of the reasons for the mass murder on our streets and highways is the split morality Cherokee Couty Bond Sales In Mareh 92 1,660.25 During the first quarter of 1957, purchases of Series E and H Sav ings Bonds in North Carolina were $12,502,568. This amount is 23 per cent of the state's annual goal of $54,400,000. This report of Savings Bonds sales was released today by W. D. Whitaker, Cherokee County Chair man, who pointed out that the current sales performance as com pared to that of a year ago is im proving. The latest available re ports show that during January and February, purchases of $50-de nomination Series E Bonds hit a 12-year high and $25-denomination Series E Bonds registered an 11 year high. In Cherokee County, sales dur- , ing March were $21,660.25 and for the first three months, $74,011.63. ON OUR STREET By SALLY DAVIDSON "Young couple" from Georgia, shaking hands, and "chewing the rag", with old friends on our street Early every morning same time, same gal, with same package un der arm, and "something" in a small paper bag, wonder who? After a chqrrie, "good morning" and asking a lady, "How are you?" "O, just barely making it." Small girl running from moth er, pony tail flying in the breeze. which has remained constant for years. so prevalent among drivers today. What is this split morality? It's the queer sense of values that per mits a person to live by one code when he's outside his car ? and a completely different one as soon as he -slips behind the wheel. People suffering from this men tal malady usually have extremely high standards for their business, domestic, and general social be havior. But on the street or high way, their one norm is "Can 1 get away with it?" This type of split thinking must go! It can go, and quickly, if every driver get behind the Governor's Traffic Safety Council, the- Motor Vehicles Department, local safety groups and does his part. Every driver, ot course, includes you and the writer. Hit and run drivers, drunk drivers, and ticket fixers aren't {he only victims of split morality. Anyone who sneaks through on the yellow light, jumps the gun at a traffic signal or com mits any other so-called "minor" infraction is infected with it' to some extent. So is the person who is careful to observe all the rules himself, but who won't give an inch to rec tify another driver's or a pedes trian's unsafe action. The person who drives by the moral code follows all the rules and he also drives defensively. He drives in such a manner as to a void accidents by anticipating and allowii;g for hazards created by the unsafe acts of others and adverse weather and traffic condi tions. ' This is the only type of driver who can call himself a safe driver. The fellow who isn't willing to bend over backwards to protect himself and others isn't fit to drive. He should be forbidden to use the roads by an aroused public opin ion. But part of that aroused opinion is our own private opinion. Before we train our private opinion os all those other drivers, maybe ire ought to focus it mercilessly on our own traffic conduct. Our own driving must measure up to the strictest standards, either that or we become part of the annual traffic death toll that averages 1000 a year.

Anew age of automobiles begins with this car Touch a button? in less than a minute the steel top disappears magically into the trunk? and you're in a supremely elegant convertible. It's two cars in one! The FORD SKYLINER ? world's only Hide -Away hardtop Once in a long, long while a car comes along that people remember and talk about (or years, after its introduction. The first model "A" Ford teas such a car... The first Ford V-8 was such a car . . . The first Ford Thunderbird uias such a car. Today Ford Division is proud to an nounce still another car that many say is destined to become the most famous Ford of all: The Skyliner ? world's only hide-away hardtop. If you plan to buy a new Ford, or al ready own one, the fact that Ford cre ated this car is important to you. For all the exhaustive research, planning and testing that went into the Skyliner is evidence of the engineering skill you get in every Ford model. The Ford SKYLINER, the only aU-steel hide-away hardtop, is a car for history. This is an old dream of Detroit, a dream of two generations of motorists. And today Ford has made that dream come true? in steel. But the story behind this dream is a story of men who refused to accept "no"* for an answer. In the Ford tradition they kept striving toward the goal long after others had given up the chase. To understand this Ford spirit you must go back to 1908. That was the year when many Detroiters smiled smugly as Henry Ford announced, "We will build a motor car for the great multitude . . . so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one." And they did. Today, nearly a half century later, Ford continues to cause the "experts" to change their tune. When you see this all-steel hardtop that retracts into a con vertible, youH be seeing a car that many said would never be mass-produced. But Ford did it. It was December 1956 ? after eight years of research, planning, experiment ing and testing? when Ford unveiled this masterpiece . . . unveiled it amid all the pomp and splendor of the New York Automobile Show. And now this history-making car, this prototype of a whole future generation of cars, is ready for your own personal inspection in the showrooms of many Ford Dealers. Plan to see it soon. And ask your Dealer to show you the exciting advances in all models of the new Ford line for '57. iL.. It's the newest new kind of L U's an all ste#4 hardtop with sktk Victoria styhnf . 2.
