This would 1)0 duo to the fact that he Is much hoitor known tlian the other two, has hoeii campaigning longer, and h.is maintained his contacts with tlio right people, .\lthough it is true, as you have probably hc,ird, that Senator W. B. Umstead is gaining on .1. M. I'rougliton, the latter would win with little difficulty. Umstoad has done some gaining—but thoie is plenty of room for greater gains if iio hopes to give Broughton real trouble. However you won’t find two mon move evenly matched as re gards to ability, integrity, experi ence, and tho fall confidence of the people who know them. With either man, you will have an excellent U. S. Senator, * « « WITH UMSTEAD--Govornor R. Cregg Cherry continuofl to go str,light down tlie line for Umstoad. In many sections of tho State this may do tho Junior senator more htinn than good. In other ureas, it will iirovc of great help. The be lief liere is that Governor Cherry is not too greatly Intorosted in the Gov ernor’s race, the Ijt. Gov.-'s campaign, tile tieasiirer’s race. Consensus is (hat- so far tit least —lie is putting STRICTLY NEUTRAL—J. B. Vog- ' ler of Charlotte is the only announ- j ced candidate for State Treasurer, Will someone please send him this clipping. He is neutral in the other races. He is not plugging for Broughton, us repo'i'ted here u few . weeks ago (and sent to him imme- i diately by one of his thousands of supporters), but la staying In the middle of the road . . . for nobody in particular: against nobody in par ticular. Looks now as If he will have smooth sailing in his campaign ' —and deserves it. - •>; OPEN FOR BUSINESS ! COMING ALONG—North Carolina is certainly getting up in the world. I Figures just released by the Na- I tional Distiller Association reveal | ' tlial the Old North State was in .sixth place last year in the per eapl- ' til pnrJhuse of legal liquor. This is very good when you consider that I only ono-fourth of tho counties in North Carolina are legally wet.

ALWAY.S WANTED TO—Kenneth Royall, Secretary of the Army, hand led himself very well with the news paper men and women when he was in North Carolina a tew days ago. ' Raid lie. when asked if he would be a candidate for tho big house on Blount Street “Well, always wanted to be Governor of North Carolina.’’ That left a good taste in the mouths of most people, but that’s about all he said regarding ills plans. At this time, he really doesn’t know what he will do. There la some outside chance that Forrestal may not accept the new position as Secretary of Defense—there is some thing he likes better hanging in tho air—and Royall is waiting to soo what happens on that score. If he can become Secretary of Defense, ho will not run for Governor. Inci dentally, General of the Army Dwight D. Elsenhower put in some good words for Royall when he spoke in Raleigh last week, • ♦ t WOULDN’T DO IT—Bob Hanne- gan, Postmaster General, and chair man of tho Democratic National Committee is In bad health, suffer ing from .stomach ulcers, among other things, and he has been on va cation nearly six weeks now trying (o recuperate. He is expected to re sign from one or both of these posi tions. If he does. Agriculture Sec retary Anderson is in lino for the ehuinnanshlp, There is some t.alk' to tho effect that President Harry Tru man might nominate N. C. Agricul ture Commissioner Kerr Scott ns Secretary of Agriculture if Anderson leaves. Scott, you know, is president of the National Association of Commis sioners, Secretaries, and Directors of /\grleulture. He is very close to tho administration. Those in the know do not think that Truman would name Scott. They believe he would choose a man from an area of the country which is of doubtful Democratic character.

He run into trouble throe miles south of Lumborton. The plane crashed, killing pilot and passenger,. Dr. Carl Tow’nsend, pastor of Hayes Barton Baptist C'hurch, preached the Nash funeral a few hours inter.

Dr. Town send, also 44, was back of his home 12 feet from tho ground picking pears. He became dizzy, fell, broke his buck, and died a day-and-a-half thereafter. A few hours prior to the death of Rowland Nash, Mrs. Mary McCabe Godfrey, secretary of the Tarboro Merchants .Association, was sitting at her desk working. She was 43. would have been 44 the next day. hD-s, Godfrey died of a heart attack. They were all three wonderful per sons, each in his own way. Each was In the prime of life.

At his funeral, Mrs, Townsend gave the hundreds who saw her u lesson in faith and courage with the angelic smile which she wore throughout the whole try ing occurance. At his funeral, the choir' gang “Lead on, O King Eter nal” and “.More Love to Thee.’’ Over 100> people from Raleigh— church members and friends drove the 130 miles' to Fair Bluff in Col umbus county 'iox the graveside ser vices. All tho stores and business places there were closed. The women of the community cooked supper for “Carl's friends from Raleigh.’* This 'meaL^vwas served cafeteria fashion at Dr.' Tpw/isend’s sister’s home lust Food conservation has become in creasingly important in the past few years... Nutritional experts predict that it will become more important in the future. Approximately five years ago the agricultural leaders Tor North Carolina diagnosed the need for greater information about the Improved practices in food con servation. In order to meet this need, the agriculture department began community cannerys, These can- nerys are educational and are usu ally located on the school grounds. Erwin, Boone Trail, and Buie’s Creek are the only schools In this county without cannerys. The home economics and agricul- tuie teachers share J'vintly in the supervision of the work in the can nery. The home economics teacher checks the products to be canned for spoilage possibilities due to bruised or bad spot:) in the foods. She sees that the correct method of prepara tion is used; that the food is cor rectly packed in the cans: and, that precooking and temperatures meet requirements before sealing. The ag riculture teacher supervises the seal ing of the can, the processing method and time required ior the processing of the particular food. He is respon sible for the management of the can nery, Often, trained assistants will lid In this work. Canning days are Tuesdays and Thursdays of every week during the canning season, and if necessary, the cannerys will be open some of the other week days. The canning is done in tin cans only; the cost is«six cents for the pint size and seven cents for the quart size can. These prices are county-wide for Harnett county. Soine^of the advantages for do ing your canning in the cannery are as follows: 1. Expert supervision in prepar ing your food for canning. 2. The knowledge that you are using the correct and up-to-date method. 3. Correct equipment and enough equipment are present for canning large or small amounts of food. 4. There is usually less spoilagb^ through the use of tin cans. 5. Every food native to this sec tion is canned: beaus, corn, butter- beaus, tomatoes, soup mixture, okra, peas, peaclies. fried chicken, other meats, et cetera. 1 did not receive reports from all the canner.vs in the county, but from those which have been report ed, 12,000 cans is the average num ber of cans canned per cannery this season. This does not include the cans canned for (he various lunch- I rooms. You are invited to bring your foods to the cannery to be canned. The managers are sure that once you have tried it, you will come again. The Home Economic Teachers, By Mrs. Wilma M. White, Coats.
