' i oOo PRODUCTION ABOVE PRICE Government price fixing policies are blamed for wide fluctuations in farm income, both as between products and different regions of the country. Income from some products has soared, while income from others has risen only slightly. Costs of producing all farm products have shown large increases. Sut the farmer has worked long hours and kept up production under handicaps and inequalities which would have been considered ruinous to far less essential war activity. The American farmer does not plan his total productive effort on a wage and hour basis ? he still produces as an independent citizen who is trying to save his independent way of living even if he has to work longer and make less than those who produce only, for a "price."

MURPHY AND SON rour Complete Food Market" Cherry Speaks At Statesville Statesvltle, April 28. ? Major Qregg Cherry, of Gastonia, can dlate for Governor, declared in an address to the Statesville High School Parent-Teacher Associa tion tonight that "Those self termed friends of education in North Carolina who would have our citizens believe that we can greatly expand our program of public education, and yet at the same time base our fiscal policies on plans which take no account of the uncertainties of the fu ture, are attempting to persuade our people to take an unmarkecf path strewn with potential pit falls." Major Cherry asserted "The fu ture of public education in North Carolina is bright," and said "The State should and must build on the well-laid, broad foundation of Its present educational system by Improving its structure and making it more complete. "This must be done, and it cannot be done by reckless prom ises nor In connection with the; fiscal program founded on the false premise that a war-genera ted surplus has brought a per manent end to North Car.olina'3 financial problems," Major Cherry said. He warned that "Our citizens would be facing certain disillus ionment if they would proceed to take a view of our public educa tion needs which is not based up on a realistic relation to the revenue needs which accompany the plans for Education w.i.v. we must carry out." The program includes an up ward revision of teachers' salary schedules, with a minimum sal ary of 1126.00 per month for be ginning teachers holding A cer tificates; improvement of the re tirement system; reduction of the pupil load of the clat>sroo:n teach er; amendment of t-ie free text book act to provide free text books at leaft through the eighth grade; vocational education ex pansion; a 10-month pay period for principals; modernization and improvement of the school tra:is portation system; low-interest ( 'loans from a state post-war build- < ling fund to local communities (or [needed improvements; and other | measures for the improvement of public education in North Car olina. Reviewing his record of fight- , ing for public education through ' out his long legislative career I Major Cherry said: "I am pre- 1 seating my public education pro- j gram, not as a fair-weather j iriend of schools ready to makt irresponsible promises, but as a uiend of public education wile ?ies served its cause both in de l pression and prosperity, who has supported increases for schook j .iom $16,000,000.00 in approprUi-i lions in 1933 to $38, 000, 000. Oo ' in 1943, who has led the fioor fight for the state-supported 9 month school term, and who has fought in good times and bad for the public schools." Major Cherry also advocated provision for vocational education ' and other educational opportuni- ! ties for< returning veterans, de claring ''They should have tut fullest chance to continue ant complete their war-interrupted iducatlons."

MAJOR GREGG CHERRY i WAR^' POLITICS Never in the history of our State or Nation have our people faced such a critical period as that which we are now passing through, ?r such uncertainty as to what the future will bring. These are days that truly try the souls of men. Since the founding of this country more than 150 years ago, there has never been a period in our histsory when the task at hand and the job ahead was more important. America today has its primary duty, the successful prosecution of this war until complete victory has been attained, and to this task we have dedicated our all! One frequently hears the expression that war and politics do not mix. that they do not go hand in hand. But they do mix. One of the foundation stones of the American way of life and of our demo cratic processes of government is the right to vote. It is the sacred right of every American to cast his ballot at the polls. / ? , That is one of the rights for which . our boys are fighting idn the far-flung battlefronts today? the freedom of the ballot. Like the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press and the freedom of assembly, it is a privilege which has been lost in the dictator-ridden countries. Can you imagine what America would be like, what North Carolina would be like, if the men and women who are sovereign citizens could not go periodically to the polls to express their wishes as to what men shall lead them and what policies shall affect their destiny? North Carolina voters will go to the polls on May 27 in a primary election which will determine who is to be North Carolina's next Governor. This will be perhaps the most important voting day in our State in half a century or longer. Why? Because the man who occupies the office of Governor of North Carolina in the next four year period will probably be faced with more problems seriously affect ing the future welfare our State than have been faced by any Government in many a decade. The man who can best serve North Carolina in this critical period ahead is Gregg Cherry. There are numerous reasons why he is the man and why you should cast your vote for him. Important Reasons Why You SNould Support Gregg Cherry > <L Gregg Cherry is a self-made man. He came up the hard way. Orphaned early in life, he had to work for what he achieved. He had to work for his education, and therefore knows the true value and importance of education. 2. Gregg Cherry served overseas in World War One as a machine gun company captain. He and his men were under fire many times. He knows first hand many of the problems North Carolina's returning veterans must face, because he faced them himself 25 years ago when he was a returning veteran. No man could be more truly capable of sympathetic ally working to kelp North Carolina'# service men in meet ing their probleac in the trwMftlion period than is Gregg ? Cherry. > . W. .t 3. He is an experienced legislator, having served with dis? tinction in every session of the North Carolina General As sembly since 1931, having held numerous important com mittee assignments and chairmanships and being a former Speaker of the House of the General Assembly (1937). 4. Gregg Cherry is a. friend of the common man ... he understands his problems. As a man and a statesman he has dealt with the problems of our people in all walks of fife. His ability to understand all groups of people, and his record is evidence of his deep-seated interest in the welfare of our State as a whole. Gregg Cherry has the courage of Ins con victions . . . demagog uery and irresponsible promises are completely foreign to his nature. He has in ample measure the qualifications North Carolina expects and deserves m her1 Governor. In The Interest Of Continued Good Government Vote Far Gregg Cherry ? L~. ?? ? ' - s "
