For the past several months we
have been writing this column for
our weekly puper under the above
tide. Several times friends have
suggested that the name of the
column is unsuited to the many
different subjects we attempt to
cover. So this week we are
(searching for a new name and the
name we select will win some
body a theatre coupon book worth
$1.60. .lust send suggested
names for this column t?ime at
Box 59, in Louisburg. YJu may
be the one to win the ^/coupon
book.

The succfSH of b'rankliii
County's first Com Show held
last Saturday in the Armory
luui assured the sponsors that
it should be made a yearly
event. There were many pleas
ed 4-H boys and many proud
papas as the useful and valua
ble prizes were handed out.
This show is an inspiration to
Ihooe who didn't place first to
try to do so next year. . . An all
around effect of an annual Corn
Show would not only tend to
improve the quality of the crop
but would bring about more
cordial and friendly relations
between the town and the ru
ral residents. Another ^ fact
worth mentioning is that such
( show as this is emblematic of
our system of competitive en
ferprise which lias established
keen competition as the icreat
fst stimulant of all to produce
(he better product whether it
lie a farm crop or a manufac
tured article.

Several people who own
farms around the county have
been feeling indirectly the ef
fect of Uncle Sam's defense
program inasmuch as several
of their tenants who are jack
leg carpenters have migrated
to Fort IJrngg and immediate
ly secured jobs on the many
buildings being built there.

There is a very interesting ar
ticle concerning football in this
month's Reader's I)igest> written
by a prominent educator. This
man calls on schools to openly
subsidize football players by
pointing out the evils of secret
subsidization as practiced by tihe
leading universities all over the
country. This man states his be
lief that in the long run this open
and above-board subsidaUon
would place college football on at
least as honest a level as pro
footbal. Pointing oat the fact
that t>he way leading players are
recruited now In onr leading col
leges is a stain upon the high
academic ideals these college* are
supposed to stand for and teach,
he requests the opening bo heal
ing light the shady and secret
ways that star football players
are paid. The writer remarked
rhati as a whole the college presi
dents were ignorant or claimed
ignorance of these practices and

bombs and anti-Italian tract*
dropped leave no doubt of the
nationality of the attackers,"
the story said.
The French government pro

attack, llavas said, and asked
London for au apology and full

New York, Nov. 24.? The

was known in London of the re
ported Vichy government's pro

meit-ed butter.
