FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER
? This is to state that I have filed for County Com
missioner on the Republican ticket, subject to the will
of the voters in the May Primary Election.
In this primary I go before the people as a candi
date free from obligations to any group or fraction. I
am out for the best interest of our county as a whole,
and not for the honor of the office. If you think that the
others are more capable than I am, then cast your vote
for the best.

Keep a Farmer
with National Legislative
experience on the job!
Senator William B. Umstead is the
only man with adult "dirt farming"
experience to serve North Carolina in
the U. S. Senate since Hon. F. M. Sim*
mons.
Born on a farm in Durham County,
the Senator spent the first 21 years
actively engaged in growing tobacco
and other farm crops.
He Knows Farmers And
Farmers' Problems
And ? He DOES something about
them. As a member of Congress he
voted for the Agricultural Adjustment
Act, the Rural Elecrification Act, the
Farm Tenant Purchase Program, the
Soil Conservation Act, and the Tobac
co Control Act.
Senator Umstead
"BiH" Umstead Is The Only North Carolina
Senatorial Candidate In This Election With
Any Personal Farm Experience.
With critical farm legislation facing the Congress, North
Carolina farmers cannot take chances on changing.

(united States Senator.
I It appeared debatable today (
(whether there would be more In
terest in local races or in the
State campaign. It was perfectly
obvious, however, that the four
races to be settled strictly with-;
in the confines of the county j
would occupy their share of the
spotlight.
No major enthusiasm has de-j
veloyed thus far in the State |
races except for U. S. Senator,
Governor and Congress. Friends j
of both Uinstead and Broughton i
are active, while political observ
ers believe the Gubernatorial con-j
test is largely a two-man affair!
in this county. There will be
scattered ballots for Barker and
Albright, but Johnson and Scott1
appear to hold a long lead. The j
Bellamy-Carlyle-Young fight for
Clark's House seat may prove <
hardest to judge. Only the most j
ardent supporters of this or that
aspirant believes that sentiment j
has crystallized sufficiently to
make a prediction of the outcome
any more than a mere wild guess,

Schools Facing
Heavy Increase
Associate Professor Of Ru
ral Sociology Computes
Estimates On Enrollment
Prospects
There are busy years ahead
for North Carolina's little red
school house, says Dr. Selz C.
Mayo, associate professor of
rural sociology at the North Car
I olina Agricultural Experiment
j Station.
I Dr. Mayo recently computed
! estimates of the number of new j
| first graders that white and non
I white schools might expect dur
I ing the next six years. He con
j eludes that in 1954 first grader
I enrollment in white schools will
; be half again as large as it was
? in 1946. In non-white schools
| there will be a third more new
first graders In 1954 than in
1946.
The sociologist bases his esti
mates on the birthrates from
1939 through 1947, correcting
each for infant deaths. He as
sumes that babies born in a
given year will be ready for
school about seven years later.
Using 1946 enrollment as 100
per cent, Dr. Mayo says the
percentage of white first graders
should be 107.6 in 1948, 117,4 in
1949, 125.4 in 1950 118.5 in 1951,
113.0 in 1902, 134.6 In 1953, and
151.4 in 1954.
In other words, for every 100
white children born in 1939 and
starting school in 1946, there j
will be 151 startih* school In
1954. Foi- every 100 non-white
children born in 1939 and start
ing school in 1946 there will be
about 134 starting sdhool in 1954. j
