Collins, chairman of Alleghany AAA committee, urges all farmers who have ob tained conservation materials un der the 1945 program, to exercise every possible effort to use these materials in accordance with good farming practices before the deadline, December 31. “Conservation materials in the form of superphosphate is still available to all farmers in the county who have not yet taken their full allowance in materials for 1945,” he said, “and this ma terial may be applied to winter cover crops and pastures through December 31.” Upon using all materials, a re port should be made at the Alle ghany AAA Office by the farm operator. “If all the farm allow ance has not been taken up in conservation materials and pro ducers are eligible to receive pay ments, applicants for payment may be signed at the same time,” tie explained.

Jjkkuf^nd's Umovuhv j by Don Robinson j RADIO .... letdown Radio newscasters have had a terrific letdown since the war ended. The other night I listened to one of the most explosive orators of the air—a man who had put the excitement of an atomic bomb at tack into every broadcast for four long years of war—and I felt sor ry for him. For he was still try ing to keep that wartime pitch. He still had the same quiver in his voice, the same excited tone, but the news he was- trying; to present as of world-shaking importance just didn’t fit into that category. A friend of mine described this man’s broadcasts with a phrase which is really a mounthful, but which aptly sums up this type of broadcast under peacetime con ditions, when he said that this commentator had become “in toxicated with the exhuberance of his own verbosity.” I suppose, as with everything else, that it will take a number of months for broadcasters to con vert their voices to peacetime conditions. But sometimes I think many of them are apt to do serious harm by making moun tains out of molehills, so far as the news is concerned, in order to keep us tuned to their station. DRAMA .. . . danger A good many of the news broadcasters seem to be about ready to declare war on Russia. When I talk to people who get their news from the radio, I find that they are much more worked up over our problems with Rus sia than are those who get their news from the newspapers. The newspaper columnists report the news accurately regarding diffi culties with Russia, but they are, in general, optimistic about the eventual solution of those diffi Ole Man Winter Is Just Around The Corner - - - And You’ll Be Needing To Have Your Car Winter Serviced— For Expert Workmanship We’re Talking Turkey Came To The Serviceman’s Service Station ALL OUR EMPLOYEES ARE EX-SERVICEMEN Joe Doughton Andy Cleary Bill Collins Ketchel Duncan Shell Gas and Oil Colvard Service Station Joe Dough ton, Mgr. SPARTA, N. CAROLINA Iculties. The radio analysts, however, seem to find that pessimism lends itself more readily to their role. By uncovering threats to our na tion on all sides they are better able to utilize their histrionic abilities. Danger, friction, and sword-rattling appeal to their sense of drama—and drama is apparently an essential for keep ing a radio audience “tuned in.” i It is believed by many people | in this country that the Spanish- j American war could have been; avoided if certain newspapers had not aroused the populace with sensational, anger-provok- , ing headlines and stories. Since ! then the newspapers have become a lot more careul how they handle ' news. Sensationalism seems to have been transferred to the ra dio department of communica-1 tions. It seems to me that a lot i of radio news commentators: j would do well to “count ten” be fore they start talking. NEWS . , . entertainment Radio, as a medium for sup plying the people with news, | came into its own during war time. All of u* wanted to get reports of the progress of the war in the quickest possible time—and we found that radio had a slight jump on newspapers. But now that we are less con cerned with getting news the mo- ] ment it happens, we wonder if news reporting won’t gradually become a very minor function of radio. Some of the commenta tors who have a large following, will survive, because we have I learned to respect and look for-! ward to their opinions, but for straight news it would seem to me that the tendency already is to concentrate on the newspaper where we can read the news we want, skip that which doesn’t in terest us, and avoid being sub jected to a barrage of artificial excitement. Many of the radio news pro-| grams should perhaps be con-1 sidered war equipment which j now falls into the classification of “surplus property.” If the■ voices which wfere trained for war work are permitted to con- | tinue without revision, and if stirring up the populace, they We Have Just Received Carload Of SALT 100 pound bag_$1.10 50 pound bag_ .60 25 pound bag__ .38 10 pound bag_ .19 4 pound bag_ .10 BLOCK SALT: plain___ .60 sulphur__ .70 ^ Buy Yours While It Lasts—It Has Been A Scarce Item.
