EFFERSONS PRINCIPLE THE KEYSTONE OF OEMOCRACy IN WHICH DIFFERENT OPINIONS ARE HEARD BEFORE ISSUES ARE DECIDED. This Guy's Idea Is Not A New One Raleigh, Oct. 21. Malcom Mc Deimott, member of the Duke uni versity law faculty, told building and loan officials here tonight that the construction of bomb shelters in every dwelling had become es sential. Speaking at a meeting of the of ficials from the central portion ol North Carolina, McDermott said: "The name of your institutions may be changed from building and loan to excavating and loan associ ations. It is a sad commentary on modern civilization that man is thus driving himself under ground, but such seems to be the case. "Our general type of architec ture must change. It must gi down instead of up. What I am saying is not so fanciful as it sounds. Think what it would mean to the British today if every home and building were provided with adequate quarters undei ground. "It is no exaggeration to , say that modern warfare changes our building dcsgins. "I know you are thinking all of this rather absurd. My reply is that man has made it so." Stamps During August $4,500,000 worth of blue surplus food stamps were distributed through the Food Stamp Plan in the 125 areas throughout the United State where the plan is in operation. A new body type in the 1941 Ford line is the Super DeLuxe se dan coupe. It combines the ad vantage of a compact coupe with seat room for six passengers. WeWill Allow $10 For Your Old RADIO ON ANY MODEL IN STOCK Over $55.00 OR $5.00 ON Models From $30 to $55 Also F H E E JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES Opinions of Tom Bot In Greensboro Daily News Nothing couid have been done, even by the mo?t elaborate plan ning, to give the religious sect, "Jehovah s Witnesses ', import ance, that will half-way match the Wallace mayor's effort at suppres sion. Evidently the mayor does noi know Jehovah's Witnesses, hasn't heard these yapping records ot judge Kuthertord played from sound trucks, hasn't looked the "Witnesses" over, hasn't heard their screeching about the Second Coming of Jesus; in fact, Wallace's mayor doesn't appear to know Jehovah s Witnesses at all. Anybody who does will come to doubt that the Great Jehovah Himself r.eedi any such witness es. If He does, religion in this country is as badly off as it is in Russia and Germany. Instead of putting these bugs in a jug, there should be opened each Sunday in this country the big gest stadium in each locality, loud, speakers should be install ed, Judge Rutherford should be imported to the biggest one and allowed to bellow under com-. plete police protection. Expression, not suppression, is what Jehovah's Witnesses need. And Uncle Sam needs it too. He needs every bit of testimony that can be gathered that here in Amer ica one nut, or one million nuts, can bellow his bull head off for any religious lunacy that may be used, even by smart rascals to get money from industrious fools. All that Jehovah's Witnesses need to do to destroy themselves, is to pa rade their putrid piety and thei'1 more putrescent patriotism. Let it be exposed to intelligence every where in the land. It will perish in 15 minutes. But force these innocuous nit wits to propagate their gospel un der darkness; make them sneak in to our towns between suns, then sneak out and even they will have sense enough to perceive that somebody regards them seriously. In the Monday Morning papers it 'a recorded one of the pamphlets pioclaimed that the "Roman Cath olic hierarchy is seeking to make the United States go totalitarian." Bless your soul, there are plenty people in this country, outside the insane asylums who are saying things like that every day. One who reads the Christian Century religiously, finds in the highest- browed religious publication in the land sentiments very akin to these. And we pay preachers to write that for us. Jehovah's Witnesses think the Christian Century should be issued from hell, and probably is. But the Witnesses and some of the super intellectuals are pretty near ly together in the Roman Catholic phobias. The Christian Centurv just a few days ago wrote about some important American, calling him an "Anglophile". And some body one of these days will write of that paper as an "Italophobe". Anyway, what Jehovah's Wit nesses arc saying about all the rival religiooists, can be dupli cated anywhere in the land. The campaign of 1928 was just about as full of that sort of sol emn nonsense as anything that has happened in this country. But there are tens of thousands of men and women of high Christian character and intelli gence, who still are proud of what they did that year in re sistance to Al Smith's election. Jehovah's Witnesses, made up of the most unintelligent, the most poverty-ridden people in the land, might rate our pity and even our philanthrophy, but po lice aggression, never. The jabber of Jehovah's Wit nesses is familiar to anvbody who knows any theology. The Duplin deists cannot tolerate these Jeho vistic jousters. Too bad: for oe of these mornings you will awake and finding them ouoting David for the proof, that "they have driv en me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go serve other gods." Jehovah's Witnesses are the sanctified bunk, the pre-millenna-rian poppycock; but put policemen on their trail, and you have made them somebody, a feat that the Great Jehovah could not accom plish. Shingl es If fully developed, the usage of cotton for a new cement-cotton roofing shingle might reouire one million hales annually, a U. S. De partment of Agriculture official estimates. Posts Tests conducted at Oregon State College show that fence posts with the butts charred do not last as well as untreated posts, but green posts treated with a salt combina tion last almost indefinitely. Improvement made IN Farm Progrem An important improvement in the Agri. ult'jra! Conservation Pro gram, effective in 1941, has been announce,' by G. T. SjoU, John- ... V m,. tuu, , '"' """"'' o u,e i. p:ov.lcs for more emphasis on the,' consei vr.tion piloses of the pro gram, makes the AAA program more adaptable to all farms in the State, encourages the production of food and feed crops, and should greatly reduce the cost of compli-i ance. "General soil-depleting allot ments will be discontinued with tht 1941 program and payments will be based upon the amount of soil- building accomplished," Scott sta ted. "The farmer who tarns i soil-building units will earn his maximum payments for planting 't'pin special allotments, such as tobacco, cotton, peanuts, and com mercial wheat, potatoes, and veg etables in designated counties." As an example of how the new nlnn works, Scott said: "Suppose Farmer Jones had set up for his farm a total farm payment of $100 made up Of $50 for planting with in special crop allotments and $50 to be earned for carrying out prac tices, such as seeding legumes and grasses, winter cover crops and green manure crops, terracing, contour strip-cropping, forestry practices, home gardening, applica tion of liming materials, and the like. "If Farmer Jones only carries out enough soil-building practices to earn $40 of his soil-building al lowance, then he would only get! $40 of his special allotment pay ments, giving Farmer Jones a final total payment of $80 instead of $100. That's because he earned only 80 per cent of his soil-building goal. Of course, if he carried outenough practice to earn his en tire $50 in soil-building allowance, he would receive his full $50 for planting within special crop allot ments." Market Offered For Walnut Products Americans consume fifty mil lion dollars worth of nuts each year, and about one-fifth of these are from wild trees in the forests, In other words, ten million dollars picked from the ground, not in cluding the nuts consumed by thousands of farm families who have their own. With this in view, R. W. Graeber Extention forester at N. C. State College, suggests that North Caro lina farm families, especially 4-H Club boys and girls, add the grow ing of black walnut trees as a side line to their agricultural enterpris es. "No less that $150,000 worth of nuts are sold in North Carolina each year," he declared, "and th possibilities for growing black wal nut, both for nuts and lumber, aiv good. The market is far from saturated." This is only one of the angles of "tree faj minor" stressed by Graeb er in his forestry educational pro gram. Continuing, he says "eacn year eight hundred million dollars are brought into the American bank account through the sale of forest p' od'icts makirg this one of the chief sources of our income. Six million people are directly or indirectly employed in our for ests, and if it was not for wood, another 122 million or more would have a hard time making a satis factory living. "The house we live in is usu ally made of wood, as well as the bed we sleep in, the chair we relax in, the table we eat at; and the stove we cook with consumes a lot of wood. Even when the newspa per arrives, it is printed on paper made of wood. Our shoes would be so stiff we couldn't bend them if they were not treated with tan nic acid, which is extracted from chestnut, h?mloek or oak bark. "There are more than 4,500 dif ferent uses of wood. This counts plastic as one use and paper a one use. but thero are thousands for each of these." Subscribe to The Beaufort Newt MR. MERCHANT SEE THAT SHE READS YOUR AD IN THESE COLUMNS before She goes SHOPPING Answers To Timely Farm Questions Sft 9ft fift ft $ rft rft QUESTION: How rau:.h wheat j ect under nor. ANSWER: When properly grown, on good land, wheat should yield at least 20 bushels per acre, says E. C. Blair, Extension agro nomist of N. C. State College. In view of conditions caused by the European war, he advises that three acres of wheat be planted for 'every farm family this fall, or ten acres for every farm, whichever is larger. I QUESTION: When should spring-flcwe ing bulbs be planted? ! ANSWER: The sooner they can be planted, the better they wii! bloom, says J. G. Weaver, State College floriculturist. They should be planted in October, at least. i Prepare the soil well before plant- ing any bulbs. The soil should be pulverized and wirked to a depth of at least 10 inches. Commercial fertilize at a rate of three pounds per 100 -square feet may be used if mixed well with the soil. A complete fertilizer high in potash is recommended. A twoinch lay er of well-rotted manure may be used if it is worked thoroughly into the soil. Cover each bulb with twice its own depth of soil.
