Tht Louisburg Chamber of Commerce might become
interested in the suggestion of adding more safety to
"Main Street traffic by widening the street on each side
of the Monument.
0O0 . ' '
Wouldn't it be well for Louisburg Merchants to put
on a cooperative dollar day, or some other inducement
to bring folks to town on a day that can be valuable to
both the merchants and the visiting public.

It may seem strange but now that the Armory is about
completed the Guardsmen will have to leave on a twelve
? .months service expedition. Almost a realization of the
prediction of some that "by the time we get the Armory
we will lose the Battery."
oOo
The acts of the ones who destroyed the tent and organ
of the Holiness preachers near Piney Grove last week;,
i was very much uncalled for let alone the fact that it
was unlawful. If conditions were such as to justify the
removal of the tent then it should have been by recog
nized legal action. ,
oOo
The^Chamllfer of Commerce would do well to put its
"shoulder to the wheel" in the movement to extend the
City Mail service on route one. This is a project that
will add a permanent pay roll of at least $2,000 a year
and should not cost the town $200 to get started. It is
at least worth a little effort on the part of the Chamber.
oOo
I ??- , f .
What the Louisburg Chamber of Commerce should be
mostly interested in is some enterprise that will pro
duce a permanent and steady pay roll, and to promote,
protect and encourage the pay rolls already in our
midst. It's the permanent pay rolls that build a town.
Look at Rocky Mount, Raleigh and other like cities that
a few years ago were small towns.
oOo
The argument that if Louisburg opens Cedar Street
through to Halifax road it will have to go to the expense
to put in water, sewerage and lights, can be answered
two ways. First, isn't it wise to offer some inducement
to increase the population and taxable property of the
town; and second, why is it' the town has not put in
these conveniences and necessities on other streets in
;town that have been here these many years.
"A bureaucracy, with its indirect control over legis
lators, its vast spending power, its access to the avenues
of public opinion, its multitudinous means of rewarding
and punishing, is the real threat to our democratic pro
cesses. . "Personalities will be important in this
I campaign, but government, not by the will of the gov
I ernors but by the consent of the governed, will be the
issue at "stake. And, despite the growth of bureau
cracy's power, the public is still free to make its choice."
j ;': ? Raymond Moley.
oOo
Why is it go many drivers who approach a traffic
light at a street crossing allow their engine to come to
a complete stop, and monopolizing all the time between
light changes for them to clear, thereby blocking other
drivers who wish to proceed. These happenings are of
ten in Louiaburg and many canbe seen to drive up to a
traffic light' -with the green Go signal in. plain view and
stop their ear, causing them and others to lose the chance
to pass before another light change. Lots of drivers need
to learn the signals better and to observe them more co
operative to relieve inconvenience and traffic jam.
oOo '
Marshal Petain's, of France, advice that the United
States should begin to teach its citizens discipline, to
save them defeat in time of conflict is no doubt sound,
i It seems to us that if more stress was placed upon dis
cipline through Military training, and less through reg
imentation or business, and organizations, the country
would be a great deal better off and in a much safer
shape to defend and protect itself, both forcibly arid
financially. The present attitude of the general public
towards governmental interference with business is
appalling.
oOo
Now that traffic is and has increased so much on the
I streets in Louisburg we would suggest to the "City
Fathers" to widen Main Street about fifteen feet on
each side of the Monument and lengthen the approaches
to these drives thirty or forty feet on each side. At
present with the addition of the twelve or more buses
added to the ever increasing traffic and especially the
transportation of the school children makes it very haz
ardous to pass through the present narrow and short
curved drives around the Monument. There would
hardly be any trouble getting the necessary right of way,
The College authorities -would no doubt cooperate and
the town could easily use the space on the Graced School
side. The TIMES is in position to say itiwotila mefet
the happy approval of the State Highway Commission.

THE COUNTRY COMES FIRST
A strike in one of the country's major aircraft fac
tories was recently averted by a narrow margin. The
factory plays a key role in the new arms program.
One wonders when malcontents will realize that the
people will 110 longer stand for industrial disputes which
menace national security. If labor and management
earit'get together and settle their troubles without dis
rupting production, the authority of government will of
necessity be used to control them.
Labor and industry have a chance today to show the
stuff they are made of. When the nation dictates the
policy that will take men for national defense, it cannot
allow labor or industry to dictate term* of employment
or production.

Questions ; I

Answered at State College \
QUESTION : What in the most {
economical and satisfactory ra- j
tion for swine? s
ANSWER: There is no one best* t
ration for it is possible to in- j
crease the net returns by select
ing carefully each season the par
ticular combination of feeds that .
will make a well balanced, efflc- 1
lent ration at> the minimum cost.
A more or less standard ration 1
that produces good results con- '
slsts of corn, tankage or fish
meal, and a mineral mixture.
This ration can often be made
more economical by substituting 1
a cheaper source of protein sup
plement for part of the tankage.
Barley or wheat, when cheap 1
enough, can also replace corn and
10 per cent of finely ground,
bright green leafy legume hay ad- .
ded to the protein supplement I
win Improve the ration if there is I
a Vitamin "A" deficiency. |
QUESTION: What causes the
milk from my row to separate in
to three parts after It is churned
? the clabber at the bottom, the
water in the middle, and the
cream on top with not much but
ter at all,
ANSWER: Such difficulty in
handling milk often happens in
extremely hot weather. It is usual
ly no fault of the cow or her feed.
If you will place the milk imme
diately after milking in the cold
est water available and keep the
milk and cream cold by changing
the water occasionally, it should
help to remedy this trouble. It
is best not to place it in a refrig
erator or Ice box until after cool
ing the milk in water. It is also
important to give the milk uten
sils an extra good scalding, using
baking soda in the hot water, to
kill bacteria in warm weather.
QUESTION: How can I "save"
my hay if it happens to rain on it
while in the field?
ANSWER: If rain falls on
freshly cut hay, there will be lit
le damage, provided good curing!,
leather follows. Half-cured or
veil-cured bay will be discolored, |
>ut will not mold If rain comes;
>efore it is' raked up. The great

)iles. Such hay should be spread I
>ut as soon as the weather will
permit. Well cocked hay will

ihould it be wet through, spread
