II Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York City Bntered at the Poatottiee at LomUburg, N. C. a* second dan (Mall natter. Quite a bit of complaint is being expressed by the public at tne School authorities for not maintaining com fortable temperatures and considerate rules in governing the children in the bad and cold days during the winter. This is a matter that should be looked after both by a proper state official and the Health Department, as im proper Conditions in and around the school rooms is the best possible place for the contraction and spread of dis ease. Lets hope a full investigation will be made and if the complaints are true have corrections ^nade at once in the interest of the protection of the health of the children. This complaint seems to be general and not confined to any one school. OOO ' It seems that the State Highway officials have a mis taken, or at least not an unconservative, understanding of the intersection of highways 59 and 56 as they enter Lou isbnrg. They created a little stir the past week by pro secuting several for not stopping as the two highways meet when they were entering from Route 59. As a matter of fact this highway is the straight one and is a North-South route, while Route 56 at this point has quite a big and dangerous curve. It seems to us that the Stop signs should be on Route 56 instead of 59, and believe if the higher highway officials would give this ?erious consideration they%rould agree and change their signs. ? OOO With the interest manifested by both the Atlantic Greyhound Bus Lines and the Carolina Coach Co., over the franchise over route 59 it looks like Louisburg and vicinity ought to get better service than ever before. It has developed to a point there is no question about a north and south line being established. The big ques tion to decide now is which Company will serve the people best and is most entitled to the franchise. ? In making this decision it is to be hoped that the Utilities Commission will take into consideration a little more ?ervice than just a North-South bus route or service. Franklin and Nash Counties need an east and west route from Rocky Mount to Durham by way of Casta lia and Louisburg. A bus line of this kind could serve both for passenger and mail service, and according to informa tion received by the TIMES would not necessitate any additional expenditures for equipment or force, and it is believed that a mail contract could be secured. A line of this kind would serve one of the best sections in the State, and serve as a transportation connection between State University, Duke University, Wake Forest Col lege and East Carolina Teachers College. With the peo ple of Louisburg we believe they will be willing to ac cept either line that will assure the east and west con nection and give full assistance to securing mail service over the route outlined. Louisburg is asking these Com panies to amend their proposals to include the route from Rocky Mount to Louisburg, thence to Durham, by Creed moor e, Wake Forest, Bunn or Henderson. February 1 will be a big day for many an elderly Amer ican. For on that day the United States Treasury will make its first old age retirement payments, under the terms of the social security act. To be eligible for the the benefits you must be 65 (by January 1), must have forked in six different calendar quarters since the end of 1936, and must have earned $50 or more during each of them. Persons of 65 who can't Qualify may work on tiiitil they have gained sufficient wage credits. And pensioners may continue to work after qualifying pro viding they don't earn over $15 a month. Maximum benefit at this time is $82.40 ? for a worker with a wife over 65 and one or more dependent children. So government "social security" is now a going en deavor. But that doesn't mean the problem has been settled. The present system^ in the view of most econo mists, is unwieldy and may prove unworkable. Inas much as the sums paid in by the workers of the country must be invested in government bonds, and the money goes into the Treasury where it can be spent for any purpose Congress desires, there is no absolute guarantee that the future benefits will be paid as contracted. Un der any circumstances, unless the law is. changed, the program will increase the Federal debt by tens of bil lions. Many officials of both parties are convinced that the system must be revised. On top of that, the present law makes no provision for the millions of farm and domestic workers, or for people who own their own little business and make smaller in comes than many salaried workers. Persons in these categories are exerting pressure on Congress to extend (the program to cover them. ^ ' Police Captain Frank Rose or Omaha reported that liis new hat disappeared in church during choir practice. ? qOo It is hinted that there are a good many yellow soldiers In Stalin's Bed Army. , ? oOo? ? ? ? ? <* When enemies bury the hatchet they usually keep a 9MP of the spot . THE FARMER KNOWS '.'.VT American agricuture seems to have thoroughly awak ened to the danger of any and all legislation which dis turbs orderly, competitive retail distribution. The Vegetable Growers Association of Ameriea^ re presenting sqlne 200,000 growers recently said: "We oppose and condemn discriminatory taxes Resigned to favor or penalize any selected group. Such ^necessary taxes increase cost distribution and increase cost 'to con sumers, thereby reducing consumption." ? i The American Butter Institute, at about the same time, passed a formal resolution opposing taxation and legis lation of discriminatory and punitive nature. ' ' Resolutions similar in effect were recently passed by the Northeast Vegetable and Potato Council, the Vir ginia State Horticultural Society, and#the Florida State Chamber of Commerce. r> Modern retailers have cooperated to the full in help ing solve agriculture's marketing problems. And agri culture, like the consumer, is among the hardest hit by any law, any tax, or any policy which throws a monkey wrench in today's highly efficient retail distribution machme. \ ? 0O0 WHEN THE HISTORIANS WRITE Thore'll probably be a gpod deal of talk about the agricultural problem in this session of Congress. And no one can deny that the farmers have their troubles* the same" as all other businesses ? and that it is the duty of government to attempt to alleviate them. At the same time, going by the experience of farm-aid legislation of the past, it looks like a safe bet that mere political action won't do much to solve the problem. In late years, about the olily really significant and perman ent farm progress has come from the work of fanners themselves through their marketing cooperatives. These marketing cooperatives haven't been able to do the impossible. But they have helped steady prices, broaden markets? and improve the general efficiency of the craft of fanning. They are a potent and ever grow ing influence. And the odds favor them being given a far larger chapter, when the history of agriculture in this century is written, than the farm relief schemes devised by the politicians. 1 But It's True f Toar*o*CM'f* ?m*f* <* T>*t r*4. mrtot* *MD WHJHif, foJt rmm*ct.
