Wood has been listed with alum
inum, copper and steel as an es
sential war material. The war needs
for forest products of all kinds arc
listed as critical materials In fur
thering the war effort. Labor, to
get out wood products. Is the real
bottleneck. Farmers will help most
if, somehow, they and their neigh
bors can manage to get out some
wood after laying by time with the
labor available on the farm. The
demand is great and the price is
good. For further information, con
tact the County Farm Agent or rep
resentative of the Soil Conserva
tion Service. Both agencies ha\e
offices in the county agriculture
building.
The sericea meadow strip which
William Wright of the Oak Grove
community seeded this spring looks
mighty good. Mr. Wright says, "I
wanted sericea and I wanted a good
stand, so I put down plenty seed, in
^act, I sowed about twice the rec
ommended amount per acre.”
The Soil Conservation Service re
cently staked terrace lines for Paul
Allen and D. T. Horn. Mr. Horn
plans to use his farm 'tractor arid
disc plow to construct his terraces.
Mr. Allen will have his built with
heavy terracing equipment.
Several farmers have placed
orders through the local AAA for
their winter cover crop seed. Get
ting seed in the ground early in
the fall will assure a much better
cover during the winter months and
a larger growth to turn under next
spring. "Vegatative cover is the
most important single factor in pre
venting erosion; therefore, the pro
duction and maintenance of a com
plete vegetative cover for the soil is
a practice needed on every farm",

WASHINGTON—It's doubtful 1
five cabinet members ever wer<
named with greater favor fron
Congress than the five Presiden
Truman has just appointed to hi;
wartime roundtable.
In the first place, Secretary o
Agriculture Clinton P. Andersoi
was a popular member of thi
House from New Mexico when hi
was appointed. Secretary of Stati
James F. Byrnes and Sectary o
Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach botl
were popular alumni of Congress
They all talk congressional lan
guage and presumably think aloni
congressional lines.
Attorney General Tom C. Clarl
never served in Congress but Ser
Tom Connally and especial!
Speaker Sam Rayburn, as well a
several other members of the Tex
as delegation have been his pollti
cal godfathers since the day h
left Dallas to work for the gov
ernment. fis a member of th
-'little1 Chbinet” when he was as
sistant attorney genera! tall, gen
ial, drawling Tom Clark wldenei
his following on Capitol Hill con
siderably.
Postmaster General Robert Han
negan has a popularity niche al
his own—but more of that later.
On the other hand, this ver
favor has put the new Cabine
members squarely on the spot. The;
take office under the weight o
great expectations and if they trij
it will be a great disappointmen
to their loudest rooters in Congress
Here are some of the things ex
pected of them:
tl) Anderson has to pull somi
meat other than rabbit out of thi
hat; straighten out our muddlet
food problems; keep consume;
prices down, farm prices and pro
duction up; and do it all quick!
enough to take the public, pro
ducers, and distributors, wholesali
and retail, off congressional necks
Even with the sweeping power
Congress has given him, Andersoi
knows what he’s up against.
<2> Byrnes has to do the mos
thorough house-cleaning the stat,i
department has ever had (Under
secretary Joseph C. Grew and si;
other top members of Edward R
Stattinius’ team already are re
ported to have offered their resig
nations). If Byrnes wants to keej
Congress happy, he'll have to taki
the department out of pink tei
diplomacy and put the administra
tion of our foreign policy on i
two-fisted, hard-headed, forthrigh
basis. Also he will have to confe:
ASSASSIN
Shares , vicious lies with

Windsor Couple
Lost Third Son
In Plane Crash
WINDSOR, July 10 —</P)— Mrs.
Helen Spivey, 48-year-old lifelong
resident of this little eastern North
Carolina town, had three sons of
military age. Two went Into the
army, one Into the navy. All gave
their lives for their country.
Mrs. Spivey told today of re
ceiving word from the War de
partment two weeks ago of the
death of her youngest son in ser
vice—20-year-old Lowell.
She had hoped that Lowell’s life
would be spared. After her two
older sons had lost their lives,
Mrs. Spivey said she appealed to
the War department and that Low
ell was assigned to “nonhazardous
duty.”
He was enroute to this country
for domestic stationing when the
big Superfort "Dauntless Dottle,”
crashed into sea off Kwajalein
Atoll in the Marshall islands, kill
ing 10 of its 13 occupants. From
Saipan came word yesterday of
the loss of "Dauntless Dottie,” first
B-29 to drop bombs on Tokyo,
named and often piloted by Lt.
Col. Robert K. Morgan of Ashe
ville.
"I received word June 13 that
Lowell was missing,” she said.
"And 10 days later came word
that he had been killed.”
“All three of my boys were kill
ed in plane crashes,” she said.
"Joseph, 23, a technical sergeant
was a radio operator on a B-17
shot down Aug. 1, 1943 over the
Rumanian oil fields. James, 22,
an ensign In the navy, was loet
in a plane crash near San Diego,
Calif., March 3, 1944.”
Mrs. Spivey and her husband, J.
B. Spivey, local salesman, have
two married daughters and two
younger sons.
"The other boys aren’t old e
' nough for military service yet,”
: she said.
[ They are Robert 17 and William
19. Both of the daughters, Mrs.
; O. W. Hale, and Mrs. G. S. Spruill,
live in Windsor. Mrs. Hale’s hus
: band is with the navy in the Pa
i cific and Mrs. Spruill’s husband is
! in the Philippines with the army.

DOMINATION
TO BE REFUTED
BY NEW BOOK
By LYNN NISBET
RALEIGH, July 10—Prom time
to time, especially in campaign
years, there are charges and
countercharges of ,‘machine’, do
mination of North Carolina gov
ernment, of too great influence of
the "interests” and similar libels
(?) upon the real democracy of
the state.
Governors, senators and other
political leaders have vigorously
denied these charges but in many
instances have failed (as did the
old negro preacher) to "show
wherein.” Jule B. Warren of the
staff of North Carolina Citizens
Association, Inc., is preparing a
book titled ‘‘The People Govern
North Carolina’’ designed to show
just how state government func
tions.
The book will be illustrated by
charts and graphs as well as by
photos of the last general assem
bly showing that body in action.
It will contain 24 chapters dealing
with almost every phase of rela
tionship between the citizen and
his state government, between the
state and local government units,
and with the federal government.
With a background of many
years experience as a newspaper
reporter, followed by several years
as secretary of the state education
association, and two years research
with the Citizens, associaton, the
author should be well qualified to
handle the subject.

Any City Can Take Pride in Its
Airport Runways of Soil-Cement
Auxiliary and secondary runways need this
new, tested type of surface—low in first cost,
strong, highly weather resistant
Airport runways of secondary or
auxiliary class present a serious
construction problem. How can
they be built strong and durable
—at low first cost? *»«—■» .*».
The solution that is real news
in the engineering world is Soil
Cement :;; simply field or road
way soil plus portland cement
plus moisture••• mixed and com
pacted under scientific control.
Proved Under Traffic
Service on many hundreds of
miles of light-traffic roads and
streets and at numerous airports,
proves that Soil-Cement is strong,
dense and highly resistant to
sun, rain and frost. It is placed
rapidly with simple equipment
and ordinary labor. Precise but
simple methods of laboratory^
control enable the engineer to
be sure of a good job.
Soil-Ceident Is noHnfended
for the main runways of ale*
ports or heavy-duty roads and
streets, which need the strength
and low ultimate cost of potfc
land cement concrete;
But Soil-Cement CAN save
you time and money on second
dary or auxiliary airport surfaces
ana light-traffic roadways. The
complete story will be furnished
on request to engineers, offi
cials and citizens concerned
with airport development.
