THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1940 , Nortt Carolina 4 ^mSS ASMClATiT Should Remoter Now Some people in Wilkes do not under stand that in order to vote in either the primary or election this year they must register regardless of whether or not they have registered and voted in previous pri maries or elections. The 1939 election law called for a new registration or relisting of registration books throughout North Carolina and left the decision to relist or call for a new reg istration with the county boards of elec tions of the 100 counties. Wilkes county board of elections decid ed that a new registration was the proper course to pursue and new registration was called in Wilkes as well as in 67 other counties. Condition of registration books in many counties made new registration ad\’isable. It so happens that the state of North Carolina has been predominantly Demo cratic, and for several decades nomina tion to state office on the Democratic tick et has been the same as being elected. Therefore it is of great importance that the members of the majority party in North Carolina register and vote in the primary when the nominations are to be made. For the first time the Republican party in North Carolina is going to name its can didate for governor in the primary and Re publicans are urged to register in order to vote in the primary May 25. It is the duty of every liberty-loving Am erican to express his wishes by his vote and to preserve his priceless privilege by voting as he or she desires without dicta tion from any individual or group. To sell your vote or to allow someone to intimi date you is to throw away the privilege for which your forefathers fought so valiantly {hat you might have, and he or she who treats a privilege with such di.srespect does ffot deserve to live in a country of freedom. But, getting back to the subject of reg- iitration, the books will be open at the poll ing places on Saturday of this week, and Saturday. May 11, which will bo the la.st date for regi.stering to vote in the primary on May 25. The person who does not vote really can have no kick coming if government i.s not conducted to suit him Vote, and have a voice in the affairs of government. On the subject of regi.stering and voting, the following humorous comment ai)peared in “Pass the Peanuts” column of the Twin- City Sentinel: ” . . .. We should like to take this opportunity to urge all eligible persons in the county to register, no mat ter how many times they have regi.stered before, or how many times they voted dur ing the last election”. A lot of fun is poked at politicians, elec tion methods, etc., but after all, the ballot stands as the one great bulwark of freedom and the one and only method by which people can retain their liberty and have a voice in government. Regi-ster and vote in the primary and election this year. Then if government i.s not conducted to suit you, you will feel like you have a right to raise just as big a .. howl as you want to. is, we shouff never low of that it’s far easier to prevent a fire to extinguish one. One careleM caniper,,oiie careless motorist, can cause fire destruc tion that Nature must spend generations repairing. The law, as it should be, is ex ceedingly strict about the conduct of peo ple visiting our forests. But a forest rang er or a fire warden cannot always be on band to watch every visitor. The law is not enough. Public knowledge, plus pub lic cooperation, is the main thing. Everyone knows the dangers inherent in throwing lighted tobacco from cars—^yet that is done a thousand times a day. Ev eryone knows that a camp fire should nev er be left until every spark has been thor oughly extinguished, with either dirt or water—yet time and again campers take chances. A weakly glowing ember, they reason, will go out before it can do harm'i Most of the time it does. But on those rare occasions when it doesn't, red, flaming havoc is the result. Fires in the forests, fires in homes, fires in factories—practically every one of them can be prevented. Practically every one is 'the consequence of human failure. Yes, the fire problem comes to you, and it is a responsibility that no one can escape. Times Change Times do change. Witness the truly magnificent spectacle of thousands of merchants in virtually every county of the nation striving to dispose of the South’s surplus cotton. This is the kind of Union that Abraham Lincoln visualized over half a century ago amidst the bitterness of the bloodiest civil war in history. Cotton is the life of the South. Cotton is bread and butter to millions of people, both in the South and other sections of the country. A glutted cotton market imperils the welfare of these millions. Cotton ex ports are at dismal lows. The .solution to the cotton problem must be found, in part at least, at home. This, in a nutshell, if the impelling motive behind the cotton “campaign”. Every resource of modern distribution is being called into action. During the week from May 17th through May 25th, shop pers will see store fronts and showcases banked with cotton products and appeal ing posters mutely reminding them that by purchasing a cotton goods article they will be helping their neighbors “down South”. The promotional campaign in behalf of “King Cotton” is far more than merely an other .sales promotion stunt. It is indicative of a new era, an era in which organized Spring hous^cIetoliDg is s duty facing homemaker* at this time of the year, and Mine Ruth Cur rent, State home demonstration agent of the Agricultural Ehcten- slon Service, has several sugges tions to make the Job easier. In the first place, she says housecleaning should he organis ed. Just one room at a time and the job well done la her advice. Then she offers the following hints: Window cleaning may be well done by using paper Instead of a cloth. Choose soft paper that does not lint. Various cleaning preparations may be used with either paper or cloth. Clear wat er with a few drops of ammonia, or clear water with about one tablespoon of washing soda dis solved in the pall make efficient cleansers. On very cold days the cloth may be moistened with al cohol or good kerosene. Windows should be cleaned when the sun Is not shining on them directly, as it causes uneven evaporation of the cleanser and gives a streak ed surfac^. For cleaning of varnished or oiled woodwork, the following mixture Is ‘good: One quart of hot water, three tables’poons of boiled linseed oil, and one table spoon of turpentine. T.Vash the woodwork with a soft cloth wrung out in this mixture, kept warm by setting over hot water. Do not heat directly on the stove (because the turpentine is inflammable. Polish the woodwork dry with a second cloth. Discard the mixture as it becames soiled and mix a fresh supply. Give upholstered furniture a good sun bath at least twice a year. This will prevent moths, especially if the upholstery is kept free of dust or frequent brushing. tat his wtoter foh^ f,^-It Ukes other forms of rofiihaj^ to pro duce ‘shade tree milk,or' milk for the manufacturing plants, on an economical basis. Farmers should 'make plans to produce a good hay crop, if they have not already done so. It is almost too late to plant despedesa, hut cow- peas and soybeans may be seeded for hay.” Pamunsky and Eureka are fav orite varieties of silage corn used it North Carolina, but Mr. Arey sf'.ys numerous farmers prefer euailing their crib varieties be cause of the higher nutritive val ue in the ear than in the stalk. An acre of silage corn will usual ly produce about 10 tons, or enough to feed from three to four cows for 180 days. Information on silage and the trench silo is contained in Ex tension Circular No. 201, which is available free upon request to the Agricultural Editor at State pfilt eMt .344 feet, thence leaving aald road and wdth the outside her line the following cMfaok College, Raleigh. NOTICE OP SALE Arey Recommends Use Of Trench Silo cooperation between producers and retail ers promises to reign supreme, the kind of cooperation that benefits consumers. Ef ficiency, and service at minimum cost, are its bywords. Yes, there is far more than appears to the eye in the promotion of cotton week.. It is a powerful example of Lincoln’s “more perfect Union”. Milk to be sold to manufactur ing plants must be produced largely on roughage to he profit able. says John A. Arey. Exten- i sion dairy specialist of State Col lege, in advice to the hundreds I of North Carolina farmers who I have found a liew source of in come through the establishment of milk routes to condenseries and ice cream plants. He recommends silage as one of the most succulent and eco nomical dairy feeds, and suggests the use of trench silos to preserve the corn or sorghum. “Trench si- '.n'i are the answer to the small dairyman’s most .pressing prob lem,” the specialist stated, adding "one can be built that will hold enough silage to feed four to six cows for six months for $2.50 and the labor of a man and a Borrowed Comment Prevention Better According to a forest service report, a relatively new and successful technique for fighting forest fires has been adopted. Landing fields have been built in the na tional forests, and airplanes are employed to fly in men and equipment. In many cases, fires can be reached in minutes where before it took days to pack crews in over difficult trails. Aerial photogra phy is also being used to scout fires, and has proven a great time saver. Anything which makes the job of bat tling fire in our forests more effective is to he welcomed. But, essential as such work RUSSIA (B.iltimore News-Post) There is overw’helming evidence that Red Russia is preparing to execute a coup to swallow up that part of China which Japan has not yet conquered. A .sensational dispatch to the New York Times from Shanghai say.s that all high ways leading from Siberia and Russian Turkestan to China’s Far Northwest are placarded with posters, printed in Moscow in 1939, bearing the emblem of U. S. S. R., captioned: “The Red Armies for the Toil ers of China”. , That is always the preliminary technique of Stalin’s invasioiii and conquests. He first subverts the toilers” — then comes the terror. The di.spatcb further says: “Most astonishing feature of these post ers is the fact that the dotted line purport ing to show the frontier between China and Soviet Russia boldly includes within Soviet territory a large portion of Sinkiang Prov ince as well as major portions of Ningsia. Suiyuan and Shensi (part of Inner Mon golia). South of this newly created inter national boundary, red coloring, which is supposed to denote the zone of active So’ iet influence, goes clear down almost to the Yangtze river The city of Penan, in Shensi Province, which is the capital and headquarters of the Chinese Communis! armies, is marked with the sign of the hammer and sickle All along this red-col ored zone are shown the figures of Rus sians in military uniform”. The appeal is made as usual, against the “imperialist powers”—when it is evi dent to the dullest mind that despotic Rus- "sia is,the most conscienceless “imperialist ic” power in the world today.
