TIUIllSDAY, AUGUST 1, bHO THE SCHOOL BOND ISSUE It should bo sufflctent for The News to say that It favors the Issu ance of bonds for school improve ment and expansion in Harnett comity because this newspaper has always advocated progress in' all things that perta.n to the welfare of our people. But there is one thing outstanding among many roa.sons why the money Is needed now in order to make our schools function comparably with other schools In the Stale. It Is this; With a renewal of peace, follow ing the world’s greatest war, the urgent needs of our people are more pressing than ever. And it Is but natural that everyone will look to our educational system for making a better Jab of pre.parlng our youth for life’s' battles than ever before. Every parent, Of whatever condition In life, is now wishing for his and her children an education that will lift them a bit above the IntoUoctual status heretofore prevailing. This Is only natural, and it Is right. ■Every state, every county and every community, stands at the cro,ss- roads in meeting this obligation. It means that wo must go forward, for even the shortest backward step will mean a let-down and a loss—a loss to the children who must bo the men and women of tomorrow who will assume the obligation of maintain ing a high and oven higher standard of intelligent living. The News believes that Harnett citizens win In this case rise to their full stature and measure up to the full responsibility which the chil dren have a right to expect ,ot them. BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR FARMERS While our tobacco growers were afforded somewhat of a spTrlted feel ing of security regarding the prices of their product when the Georgia- Florlda markets opened last Wednes day with bids about five cents above the price on opening d.ay last year, most of them will keep their fingers crossed at least till after the Border Bell markets show what they will do. Harnett farmers are not Inclined to he governed in their estimate of prices b> what the Georgla-Plorlda markets do. They have come to think of prices at the first openings as “top bids for first offerings.’’ iBveu though the first market.s hold up well in prices, our farmers prefer to wait till they see what Is going to happen to their own tobacco w^toii It Is placed on sale. First bids on Harnett tobacco will be made today as the Border Bell opens Its sales In Upper South Caro lina and Lower North Carolina. Many thousands of pounds of Tarheel to bacco, and perhaps a good quantity of Harnett tobacco, will bo sold on the Border Belt today, Even tho prices paid at the first opening of these markets, however, will not bo rtgarded as a truc^lndox of what can be expected throughout tho selling season. Tobacco farmers arc entitled to a rood price for their product this year, because tho iproductlon cost them more than It over has before. And even though they get a higher price, they will not be more money in pocket, because when they come to buy their needs they will find prices sky high. And so. all in all, the farmer must keep his fingers crossed always. Is it not so? WHO BLUNDERED AT PEARL HARBOR? Now that tho Congressional Inves tigating Committee’s report on Pearl Harbor is made public, and no blame Is attached to any others than the Army and Naval commanders at the ■post, it will bo Interesting to. watch for critics of the Roosevelt Adminis tration to lash out with “blames” from now until tho national election In 1948. • 'It was Indeed the desire of critics to fasten tho fault on Roosevelt, even to the point of claiming that he de sired and fostered unfriendly rela tions with Japan. What a charge! But rfober-thlnklng Americans have already placed the blame for the Pearl Harbor attack and what followed. They know who blundered in the attack. Tho Japanese war lords were the ones who blundered, and what a blunder! EUGENE TALMADGE WINS AGAIN There were probably very few people outside tho 5iato of Georgia who entertained even the least Idea that Eugene .Talmadgo could ever bo elected Governor of Georgia again. The average political obsoiwer thought that "once is enough” of Talmadge or his kind for Georgia or any othor State. But that is whore your average political observer falls down on hi.s calculations, as is so often the case. In attempting to “size up” a polltlca’ situation, moat observers presume to figure it out tho way they think it ought to be, and according to their thinking no largo group will think othorwlso. The faulty part of that sort of Judging is that Judgment is passed and opinion given'" without first “getting the lay of tho land” and the attitude of the people directly In volved. You remombor, don’t you, a man by tho name of Cole Bleaso who ruled South Carolina for many years and staged some comebacks? After Bloase was elected Governor of the Palmetto Slate and had ruled for one term, It was easy to hoar and read predictions that "this will bo his last,” and that tho Sandlappors had learned their lesson. Truth Is, they had their lesson the first time. There was a political condition ex isting In South Carolina when iBloaso was elected and re-elected, and wc may be sure there was at least a somewhat similar situation lu Geor gia that caused Talmadge to bo able to stage a comeback. Those in political authority, as well as those aspiring to such, should take note and govern themselves ac cordingly. This writer knows whoro- of ho speaks, for ho saw tho whole thing through In (South Carolina. Can It happen here? Surely, It has, al most, hasn’t It? PRINCIPLE OF OPA SHOULD REjMAIN ■Whether or not tho much-dlscuss- ed and muchicussed OPA comes to life again, and It seems now that an effort will bo meUo to bring It life in one form or another, tho iprlnclplo of tho program should remain with us. The laborer Is worthy of his hire, so is tho manufacturer and dealer en titled to a profit, and, no falr-mlndod per.sou will disagree, dt was claimed that tho OPA was not allowing a fair profit on some items, and that It was imposing restrictions that were n'Ot Just and right. These things willed up in the minds of so many pooplo that a clamor was raised for tho dis continuance of tho rationing and prlco-fixliig plan. The OPA was killed. Now It Is likely that, the recent efforts of Con gress and the President will result in a strenuous effort to so revive the program that it will work, at least in some sort of way to prevent what is commonly called inflation. There are predictions that the OPA will not be able to make Its rules and regulations obeyed again, now .that the people have become accustomed, even for a short while, to freedom from ro8tricllon.s. Whether the OPA can come back In strength again Is doubtful. Jf a serious attempt is made to enforce even tho most lenient rules, the viola tions will be so numerous and fla grant that very little If any real bone- ■fit will be derived. Wo iiavo seen what has taken place without OPA, and Perhaps tho inflation of prices will go on for some time yet. Perhaps, too, we will see tho workers begin striking for further increases In wages. It is safe to say that the renewal of OPA will not stop this inflationary trend.’ But It is nevertheless important right now, because wc have what wo are pleased to term “Hush times,” to keep in mind that conditions will not, cannot, remain as they are for any groat length of time. We should look forward to the day of “lovolling off” and return the principle of OPA whether we like or not. GI, THINK TWICE ABOUV YOUR INSURANCE! The News has boon Informed that an alarming number of former ser vicemen are allowing their "govern ment”'Insurance to lapse. The reason for this attitude on the part of tho GI Is probably that he wanted the In surance for the benefit of his home folks white he was In the service but that now ho is free he has a sort of “uulneumbored” fooling and no longer needs tho insurance. This feeling can -easily come to a person at times when lu* thinks he is able and has an opportunity to look out for himself and all those who may look to him for protection. It Is not a feeling, however, that sticks to a man who looks into tho fqturo and seeks to provide for that futuHO, not only for himself as he Is now or may bo then, but for a last ing benefit that more often than not comes In very handy when tho need arises. And 80 far as the Insurance carried by the GI in service Is concerned, it Is Just as good today, and will bo In the years to come, as it was when written. All Ql's should think twice (before allowing their insurance to lapse. Here's a rule you "orter” follow: learn to swim, or water swallow. OBSERVATIONS BY A COUNTEY SCRIBE BERRIES UP TOO. -- A local housekeeper, who knows a lot about high prices and now Is wllling’to bo- llovo that everything “has gone up,” relates a recent .(xporlonce In buying .some blackberries. She said an under- toon-ago lad appeared at her door In quiring If she wanted to buy sonu^ berries. She asked the price. “Thirty cent a quawt.” replied tho little fol low. “Why, I’ve been buying tlu'in at fifteen cents a quart,” she said. “But, lady, berries has gone up,” said the small salesman. And she couldn’t resist buying. * * * OREEN BUT UP.—Folks will buy anything nowadays, It seems, regard- Usd of price or condition of article. Last week on the streets of Lilllngton was a huge truck loaded to the rim Willi peach08~greon as grass and two dollars and fifty cents a bushoU The hard fruit was not liard to sell, howev r. ’Die trucker was doing a hiudofflee business, dealing them out as fast as ho could fill the bas kets, and calling on customers to Jump into ihe truck and 'Till your own.” They did. One tamper (who conld and .slfould grow all tho peaclie.s he wants and then some) ■bought six bu.shols, « * « NO CO.MPLAINTS.—Just received by this omporlum a double-volume of connly-byHCounly ‘"Basic Statistics’/ which gives us plenty of information about Harnett county, which we al ready knew, but loaves out a whole lot wo know. This column simply can’t SCO Us way clear to toss any compliments to the State Planning Board on this edition for the one big reason that 11 lists Harnett’s “major towns” as Dunn and Angler. They arc major towns, alright, but wft have a lot of major towns in this county, and therefore wo can’t accept ,tho edition’s list as authentic, .* «r ^ ENVY,—.Right now this Scribe is In tho midst of a' big whirl of envy toward Hoover Adams, Dunn scribe, who is touring the once' great and glorious West. Not having been able to get more than a few slops from Ihls post for the past four years, we rind oursolv.es wondering whether wo would really know how to act were we fortunate enough to take a tour like Hoover Is taking. And not being given to fishing on Sundays, wo haven’t even, had a peep at Little River for years, By tho way, when a fellow gets a nibble, must ho pull up or push down? Oh-ho, maybe we’ll have to learn all o\;or again how to take a vacation, * « * MORE ENVY.-—Now lliere’s Bus- boo Pope, down at 'Dunn, who has either grown tired or rich, turned over The Dispatch to his sons and Hoover Adams, and retired to his farm. Years ago wc heard our boss- man say one day that If a rich uncle would dlo and leave him forty dollars and a mule ho would' go to fanning. Don’t know how many dollars nor how many mujes Busboe has, but first and foremost and most Import ant of all, ho has a farm. Some people are so lucky! ■• * * AND MORE UPPING.—A rosoar- cher Into antiquities inquired of Neill Atkins tho olher day: “What has be come of the oldtime flvo-cent wator- molon?” .Nolll was prompt, a.s usual, with an nnsv/cr: “Why, Bud, It’s'on tlio market right now, but It’s got a. nought tacked right after tho five, and it’s a fifty-center.” » l$t « SOUTH OP THE (BORDER,—Many of tho wnrohousomon of tho Middle Bolt nro doing business in the Border Bolt today, iBob Barbour, Tom Proc tor, and Buddy Campbell of the Fu- quay-Varlna market are operating two warehouses lu Dllllon, S. C.— the Big Tin and Farmers. Like all other wanderers, however, they’ll come back home and declare “Ihoro’s nothing down there to compare with what’s up here.” , * * .« “EVERY 'PISHERMAN,” ETC.— Of course you’vo hoard the old say ing that "(Every fisherman has a right to toll his own lie in his own way.” Well, as we started to say, David Jones, dow^n at Carl .Kelly’s drug store, was telling about tho big one that got aw'ay. "Ho Broke my hook,” declared Daylc, in softening up his excuse for lotting the big on© got away. "I just flipped over where I thought he was, and sure enough ho (Jumped on It, I pulled and pulled, and ho Jumped and he Jumped, and finally—” That’.s where the story ended, as Davie told again about his hook being broken. (Davie has an excellent reputation for tolling the truth.) « *■ « PUBLICITY PLUS—Says R. P, Beasley in the Moore County News; “Wore one to Judge (by the activity of the boys who do publicity work for tho (Stale Department of Publicity and Conservation, ho would think that hunting and fishing were the chief pursuits in (North Carolina. Tons of matter are sent out to the newspapers about hunting and fish ing. Great care is taken to give ail information about bear hunting, wild boar hunting and suclT tike. On© and spori hasn’ gr sum wonders why old Teddy Roosevelt went to Africa for big game hunting when he could have found such good sport in North Carolina'. .All this so’unds good on'paper and hunters fishermen who can take their t purely In, Iniaglnary fields* -no doubt enjoy U, But to one who i’t had a bite since fishing worms ew scarce and hasn’t treed a pos- since tiio first world war, It sounds a little strained.” But, (Brother Beasley, didn't you make a slight mistake In the title of the Department? Seems that we've heard or seen it “State Department Oonver.sation and PubUcity.” • * » ■PATBACK. — Housewives report The News that they are paying as as 45 cents a pound for fatbaek —when they,can gel it. It will be generally agrftsd that this Is rather high in comparison to what that de licacy has been bringing In former years. But folks with oldfashion ap petites will silil say that “the heat breakfast meat In the world” is worth more than 46c—especially when pig Hed is $5 per bag. of to high Letters To The Editor To the Editor; In answer to a statement from the Harnett County News by Mr. J. W. Sauls that 1 was fined $25.00 and cost about $06.00,and if Mr. Sauls ■pays this much for me he will get cheated. I will give you the right amount If you want, to know .so bad. Pino $25.00, Cost $17.78, total nmount$42.7S. 1 will admit that this was a high price for brandy $42,78 per gallon. Some smart follow has killed the OPA and I guess that is why br.in(ly Is so high. For every thing else Is going up, and I, noticed that h©,ha,s left the impression that ■I have been boating my ration board out O'f sugar to make strong drink out of, but I never did use, one grain of sugar that was allotted to me to make strong drink. I never did buy any from the' black market. 1 re spected our boys over sens' too much to do so. My wine is Just ns legal as my corn in my crib, or the meat In my smoke house, and If sugar is plo:itlful the Insti of Septomber I will ferment with sugar In place of Bob Cola. ] was accused of taking can ned grapes out o$ the hou.se to make brandy out of, and I did not. Anyone that cannot tell canned grapes from wine caii’.t tell a five gallon copper brandy still'from a fifty gallon cast Iron wash pot. I haven’t any .strong drinks for sale to anyone for love or money. I try not to violate the laws of our country no more than the other fellow, but sometimes we all have It to do. Violation of the law to throw explosives In water to kill fish, and violation of the law to kill a red (bird for desivoying j your corn, violation of the law to kill a rabbit when destroying your beans in' the field, but it is being done every year and It Is belter in Iho sight of God for him to make a gallon of grape brandy than to kill a mothor rabbit with a np.st -full of young ones. I bave been here for many, many years and this community which I live I.s in the land of love with the :mng birds. Everybody here at work, everybody In peace except we have two hypocrites and, they have a nick' name as Harrington and Miller. Yours respectfully, Walter (Reardon. N. C. Top* Nation In Employment North Carolina tops every state In the Nation in employment during the ,rocouvei;3lon period, as Indicated by tho small number of workers filing claims for-unemployment benefits In relation to tho number of workers covered toy the Unemployment .Com pensation Laws, Chairman Henry E. Kendall, of the State Unemployment Compensation Commission, announ ces. Only the District of Columbia, of the 49 Jurisdictions Included in tho mainland of tho Unltotl States, show ed a smaller proportion of Its cover ed labor force as claiming benefits during unemployment. North Carolina, In Sepiomber 1946',‘ with an .average covered employment of 524,000, had only 1,6 per cent of this employment to file claims for compensation, which is only 37.6 per cent of the figure for tho entire na tion, in which 4 per cent of the 28,- OOO.OOOi covered workers filed 'claims for Ixmefits, For both October and November, tho North Carolina ratio was 1.7 per. coin, against a national average of 5,3 per cent. The* December aver age in North Carolina was 1.9 .per cint, against the national average of 6.8 per cent. During the first three months of 1946 tho N'orth Carolina average was 1.6, 1.7 and 1.9 per cent, respectively, as compared with a national average of '6.6, 8.7 and 6.8 per ctnt. Records maintained (by the Bureau of Research and statistics of the Un employment Compensatlbn Commis sion and the Employment Service covering the last tvn years indicate that prior to the war, unemployment in North Carolina remained consist ently at about. 20 :per cent below the average for the county. In these post war months it is shown that unem ployment in North Carolina has been about one-third of the national aver age. 'This indicates a wholesome trend HOME BREW BY MRS.

BEHIND THE SCENES III AMERICAN BUSINESS By JOHN CBAIIOOCE , While government officials and a majority of people are concerned about how much higher the price level may go, a small bat growing number of Wall Streeters are vrond- ering whether prices of food, cloth ing and other commodities may fce lower six months from now. These people (base their opinion on the ac tion of the stock market which tht-y consider a harometor 'Which fore.casts tho business conditions ^x months In advance. The stock market reach'^ od a high around the first of June and has moved. Irregularly lower since then. It Is still too early to soy that the market has reversed its long hold upward trend, but its ac tion over the past couple of months’ has brought a note of caution to some who,fellow il closely. This dis- oHssion of the slock market is not in tended to predict a change in tho price trend, but to -give an Idea of what the olher fellow thinks. There are m.any who think that ,the slock market will-, set another'now, high. It is difficult to say who is right, but one thing is certain, the first in dication that the trend has changed will ho shown in the slock market, unless all past performances arc wrong.
