1 THE BEAUFORT NEWS BEAUFORT. N. C. Thursday, July 24th, 194 TAGE TWO Mcrry-Go-Round (Continued from Page'l) r. octween lu.vns m o.-lr to give tr.e President extra sleep. More Gold Braid. Roosevelt's contacts thus are lim ited by remaining in Washington, ai-.d in Washington also, he is more circumscribed than ever. He does not see nearly as many members of congress and men from many walks of '.'o as formerly. This is because he is concentrating so much time on r.f'ional defense and foreign ailairs. AU important decisions in the state department come across his desk. The freezing of Axis funds, the closing of German-Italian consu lates, the speeches of Secretary K.wx. have to get the President's O. K. Important decisions regard ing the army and navy come to him. and a constant stream of ques tions regarding OPM and aid Britain confronts him daily. So the President sees far less of the men who helped to build up the New Deal, far more uf army-navy officials, One Dollar Men and dip lomats. Much of this is unavoid- j atx though part of it could be j c'.'T.inated by more diversification 1 cf control. However, this change in the Pres ident's mode of operation is not as important as the change which grad ually lias crept over his general out look. On the surface, and in press conference, he is the same old wise-cracking, fun-loving Roosevelt. K'.-t underneath he is not. N 1 longer does he have the same zest for what he is doing. In the eld days when he was building PWA bridges and WPA schoolhouses, writing labor laws, crusading for so cial security, fighting the big utili ties, he loved every minute of it. Ke was building up, crusading for htm. an needs and human rights. And his enthusiasm was boundless. No War Enthusiasm. K v, however, he knows that ev ery step he takes in foreign policy, every dollar he spends for the navy, every man he inducts into the army, may be a step toward tearing down rather than building up. He believes the steps he is taking are absolutely necessary. But he has no enthusi asm for them. In other words, he has no enthusiasm for war. Most of the men around Roose volt believe that war is inevitable, and it may be that he does, too though he has not admitted that publicly. But judging by his hang ing back in opposition to his more vigorous military-foreign policy ad visers, the President hates and dreads the idea of this nation going into war. He hates the reactioi.s and after maths cf war, and he hates the idea of having history record him as a War President. At the same time he believes that this country will have to move fast, and if it does not move now it may be too late. For the best definition of an isolationist, Roosevelt firmly believes, is one who by procrastina tion wants to see his women and children in the thick of the fighting here at home. MERRY-GO ROr.ND Een Welles, sun of Undersecre tary of State Sumner Welles, is working as a newsman in Panama. Nelson Rockefeller, government worker, gets up at five in the morn ing, shuns parties, goes to bed at ten. The Rockefeller office has been flooded with requests from movie stars who want to tour Latin Amer ica.

Pins and People Let's come to the point. A ."faijrht p'n is a plain enough :...u.-eiuM oliji-ct, but it would ! a good idea for us to follow its ex ample. I:i the first place, it exists for n ice to others. It stays quietly in it.s place until called to duty, hut it can do many things. A bent pin is useless so is a misdirected life. But as long as it remains straight and true, a pin cannot out live its usefulness. "Some pins re rusty," you say. That is true. They've lain idle so knsr. And it's the same way with people. We may become rusty and useless. Theie's no trimmings on a pin. It ht.s )i 0 p.it-on. It's level-headed too, md never "loses its head." It would be hard to get along with out the pin; and we will have led a worth-while life if we can become necessary as it is. Uncle P. F., in The Progressive Farmer.

Don't miss this amusing feature in the August 3rd issue of The American Weekly The Big Magazine Distributed with the BALTIMORE SUNDAY AMERICAN On Sale At AH Newsstands TOPPS Irish Potatoes Go To 22 States Raleigh, July 17. North Caro lina potato producers have already shipped 4,704 commercial carloads of potatoes into 252 cities and towns in 22 states, the District of Columbia and Canada, A. B. Har less, marketing specialist of the State Department of Agriculture reported today. Shipping point prices during the 1941 season were higher than in l'.MO," Harless said. "The seas onal range (June 4 to July t) was $1.15 to $l.i0 for KMi-pound sacks as compared with the 1940 price range of $1 to ? l.'JO. Incidental ly, during this season most of the tiauing was at prices above $1.35 compared with the bulk at $1 to $l.o0 last season." Harless said "that washed potatoes during the season sold at prices 10 to 15 cents per 100-pound sack higher than for unwashed potatoes," explain ing however, that "fewer shed were equipped for washing this year." The U. S. Surplus Marketing Administration purchased many cars of U. S. No. 1, size B, potatoes for relief purposes at 70 cents per hundred at various North Caroli- J r.a po.n: to aid growers whose whose crops were small sized as a' result of the early season dry weather." The North Carolina Irish potato crop this year was estimated at 2, l'54,0v0 bushels, approximately 40 per cent under last year. Yields were reported "unusually light due to the spring drought. Late in the season, however, diggings and shipments were delayed following a series of heavy rains." "Quality of the cobbler variety was only fair, running heavily to smma'.l sizes in many fields," Har less said. "During the late har vesting season the rains caused many potatoes to go to market showing dirty and the shipping quality was not exceptionally good because of rot or t:eak down." "Carlot movement commenced on Jute 4, six days later than for 1140, il days later than in 1030, and about A weeks behind 1 '.. shipments uurmg me imru weeK totaling 1.412 cars were the heav iest for the seasun For Beautiful Iris Next Spring Iris should be planted in July or by mid-August for perfect bloom ing next spring:. In this connec tion Mina B. Hoffman, writing in The Progressive Farmer, offers this timely advice : "An old guide.for iris planting says let each plant have three fans on one rhizome and 'plant it like a 1 uuck on water nan in, ana nan out.' But one inch of soil over each rhizome when planted will settle down to the right depth by the first sprinsr. "There are b uttwo requirements for this, old bearded, or C-or man iris: sun and sood drainage. Plants grow well in almost any kind --if s.iil, but when soil is too v'xh, root rot is very likely to set in. In preparing a spot for iris I 1 usually mix with the soil very old, crumbly barnyard manure and compost for body, and allow it to settle through one rain, or else give it a good soaking with the hose. "If you would like the most beautiful iris combination at all, use together a pale blue and deep yellow It is breath-taking in splendor!"

'Steve." j Ingersoll intoned, "those Russians are holding my passport." j "They are?" responded Steve, j "And they want us to give them a i hundred million dollars worth of , machinery!" j Steve then called the State Dep't : and, before Ingersoll knew it, he was on his way to Moscow. ; Eyebrow Lifter: Mr. Ingersoll was saying before he left that he had just learned the hardest thing to find in Russia was a Communist. "How's that?" he was asked. "Because," he explained, "the population of Russia is 160.000.000. and there are only 5,000.000 party members." Despite the rigid censorship in Germany, the underground manages to circulate the latest news picked up via short-wave from England and America. When they want to dis cuss in public what they heard on BBC, the favorite method is to say, "Do you know what I dreamed""' and then proceed to relay the news picked up on the foreign station . . . Another popular method is to tell about a speech heard on the Nazi station and praise it and then add how a foreign station cut in with a "lot of lies." The speaker repeats the "lies" he heard, and his listen ers get the drift . . . Since meetings are verboten in Germany, the anti Nazis have become great funeral goers. When a funeral is announced, a mob shows up at the cemetery and, as they walk behind the hearse, they trade information.

Snap bean growers in western North Caroli na expect to harvest a crop two pe cernt larger than in lt40, Rus sell P. Handy, junior statistician of the State Department of Agricul ture, announced today. "Snap bean production of 270, UUO bushels, or about ,000 bush els above a year ago, was indicated on July l."'llandy said, basing his information on a U. S. Agricultu ral Marketing summary. "The crop this year will be harvested from an estimated 3,000 acres or nine per cent under the 3,300 acre harvested in 1'.'40." An estimated snap bear, yield of i'O hu-hels per acre, 10 bushels above a jear ago, 'nut 10 bushel under the average of recent years was reported. Handv explained that Hendor- son o unty leads all other western counties in tlie production of snap beans. Western North Carolina farmer.- last year received an average price of oO cent per bushel for their snap bean crop, or a total return of $141,000. "The crop in Western Nor Carolina was only partially plant- i Oil July 1 and none ot the acre age is ready for harvest," Handy sai.l. "A few beans have been picked in the Southwest section of Virginia, but the main crop will be harvested during the latter part of July and the first part of August. Recent rains have been very bene ficial to late plantings". Subscribe to The Beaufort News.
