It is little wonder that President Harry Truman’s stock has been in the ascendancy since he reared up on his hind legs and lold the labor leaders where to get off. Also, his firm stand in othef domestic as well as foreign affairs has gained for him 'more favor in the pabllc eye than anything happening before the GOP upset his party’s majority in Con gress, To be frank, howeiror, Truman has a lot of problem.s yet to face, any of which might hrlrg unfavorable reaction should he not be successful in making good on h,if own or throw ing all blame upon GOP leaders. The "swing" has hit the GOP, How can It be thrown back to their advantage? We shall see, If not soon, then certainly*by November of ’48. Wat']i the dale on the label on your paper.

Tobacco farmers, who are now worried over the prospect of lower prices next fall on account of the report from Great Britain that that country will cut down on its pur chases of tobacco from this country. Then where Is our three and a quarter billion dollars we lecently loaned to Britain? That question now bobs into the mind of the tobacco farmer as he rupiinates over the fact that being too frltndly doesn’t always pay. Recent reports from London are truly provo.dng. Is Uncle Sam being taken for a .sucker? Many people In this country are beginning to think so. Why not extend some of "tough ness" ii> our other erstwhile ally. In stead of heaping it all on Russia? LAW.S—WHICH WE HAVE THE MOST OF Many of u.s remember well and favorably the late Oscar Underwood, who served ably in both the House and Senate from Al8.bama. In these days U la refreshing to quote from him the following: "It Is not exaggijiatlng to say that half the laws er acted are ex perimental In their inception and unhappy In their results; that the country Is full of people who do not want to work, but who wish to make others work; who do j ot want to bo good, but who wish to make others good; who do not wont to be gover ned, but who wish to govern every body else." We are reminded of an old friend who, when speaking of laws, aptly asserted; "Laws — which wo have most of." Mr. Underwood was eternally right when he asserted that "It is not an exaggeration to say that half the laws enacted are experimental in their inception luic unhappy In tliolr results.” CONVENIENCES IN RURAL DISTRICTS None of the younger generation can begin to realize what the lack of modern conveniences meant to people in rural areas fifty years ago. It Is Impossible, ot course, for young er people to vision “the country" as being a nice place in which to live without electricity, telephones, imral mall delivery, and many other con veniences, including automobiles. The young.ster, boy or girl, who lives In the country today and en joys practically all of the conveni ences their city cousins have, could appreciate everything more If they hud lived throe-scoVe years ago. Some will say this advanced age Is not as wholesome in bvery way as In bygone days. But as to that, anyone can raise the question, Why? It will probably not be disputed that advantages accruing to country life In recent limes have had a lot to'do with placing the rural dweller on a level with city folks when It oomrs to intelligence, comfort, hap piness and health. Today the programs planned for city folks are extended to the rural areas as well. Health and school progiams are outlined so that all, wJurevtr they may live, can be bene fited. Take, for instance, the clinics be ing publicized by Dr. W. B. Hunter, head of the Harnett County Health Department. A great majority of these clinics will be conducted in m- ral districts. Why? Because ot con venient methods of transportation and communication the rural folks can be reached just as easily as those In the towns. No longer Is it neccs- .sary for country folks to come to town to 'gain benefit from these pub lic health sf^rvices. Right now there Is an electric line being constructed through Harnott county, some 500 or more miles in length, we are told, to afford electri- ciiy for the county homes In the areas through which it runs. Comforts and conveniences too numerous to mention have boon pro vided .ind are being amplified to make rural life more attractive. It’s a great place In which to live—the eountry. HAS THE “SWING»» REALLY HIT THE GOP? Democrats, as well as others, know the fickleness of public opin ion—political opinion, that is. The latest Gallup Polls shows that, if the Presidential election were to be held today, the Democrats would win. Still, mind you, last November, thi people threw the Democrats out of control of Congress. It’s rather a quick right-about- face, If the Gallup Poll Is to be re lied upon. Personally, we liavo never been able to arrive at the’ belief that “polls" are all they pretend to bo. But, of the unfavorable reac tion to Republican control of Con gress there can be no doubt. GOP-er« have been going Into huddles trying to figure It ooit. Chances are they are too jittery to do much figuring. The GOP lead ers know full well that there has been a swing, a decldea swing, back to the tried and trusted Democratic rarty. What will happen before Novem ber 1948, Is anyone’s guess. There’s no way of telling what may happen. But of one thing we may be sure: it Is that the Republicans must be Nation is Obscirving Wildlife Week This week, March 16-22, will bo observed throughout America as Na tional Wildlife Re.stoi‘atlon Week. Spon.sored by the National Wildlife Federation, Wildlife Week first was pioclaimed 10 years .ago by the late President Roosevelt, Theme of this year’s obscivance will be the rela tionship lietwet-n .the wise use of soil, water and plant life and the nulional security. Programs pointed to the observance will place special emphasis on the need for greater protection and management to hv sure adequate supplies of flsU and game to meet the vastly increased hunting and fishing pressure brought on with the close of the war. Each year the Feder.rtlon, a non- pi oflt organization, issues a sheet of wildlife poster stamjis reproduced from paintings by famous AmorJean nature artists. The 1)47 Issue has 40 studies of birds, mammals, fish, llowers and.tre^s In the 64 stamps on the sheet. Since these stamps were first distributed, there have been reproduced 394 separate nature studies which go into making a min- latute outdoor picture gallery in true colors. The stamps sell for one dollar a sheet and proceeds are de voted to the Federal on’s program for the preservation of the nation’s natural resources. Clubs, societies and individuals Interested In obtain-' tug stamps should writi) to the ser vicing division, National Wildlife Fedetallon, 20 Spruce Street, Bos ton 8, Mass. lO-POUND SUGAR STAMP BECOMES VALID APRIL 1 LARGE ALLOTMENTS MUST LAST JXJNGER AND LNCLUDB ALL HOME USES AS . "WELL AS ’ CANNING PURPOSES Housewives were today reminded by OPA that Spare Stamp 63, cur rently good for five pounds of sugar, must bo “spent" In the next few days or not at all, since it expires March 31, one month earlier than ordinari ly Intended. The following day, April 1, OPA begins the use of ten-pound stamps, with Spare Stamp 11 becoming good for that amount, A. D. Simpson, Jr., Regional Sugar Executive, said In Atanta. "While Spare Starfip 11 will be good for ten pounds right on through September 30. we are hoping the sugar supply will make it possible to declare another ten-pound .^tamp good on July 1,’’ Simpson said. He emphasized, however, that those ten-pound stamps are not a “bonus" and that sugar must still he used carefully. He also pointed out that theie will be no special stamp set aside this year for can ning .sugar, as the ten-pound stamps should prove .sufficient to cover all necessary home usqs of sugar.

He served his church for more than 40 years as teacher pf the .Men’s. Bible Class, many years as a devoted deacon and in various other Important places of service. By his loyalty and devotion to his Lord, his church, community and family, he proved himself to be an Inspiration to all who knew and worked with him. His life wa.s a symbol of all that Is high and holy; he constantly strove to Inculcate In his own life and in the lives of others the princi ples of his Lord; now, therefore, he it resolved: First.

MONOPOIiY FATTENS (Smithfield Herald) All the talk about the welfare of small businesses does not erase the fact that there were some IG'O.OOO' fewer buslnessea operating at the be ginning, of l’94^than there .were In 1941. The war emergency did wonders to the growth of the big businessea. Ot $176,000,000 000 of prime war- contract orders to 18,000 corpora tions, two-thirds went to only 100 large companies. Moreover, the 260 largest manufacturing companies, which before the war owned 66 per cent of all productive . facilities, op erated about 80 per cent of ,private' facilities built during the war with federal funds. There Is no choice-.but for the government' to rigidly enforce Its anti-trust laws, break up existing monopolies and prevent the forma tion .of new monopolies.
