Earlier Market Opening For The Piedmont Belt Is Imperative The Reporter does not know what extent it would be practicable for the Piedmont North Carolina and Virginia tobacco belt markets to recede from the Tobacco Association of the Uni ted States, and establish an association of their own independently of the arbitrary rulings of the national association. But we are entirely convinced that if such a move were practicable, it would save the ware house interests and the tobacco dealers of the old belt many millions of pounds of tobacco yeaily gravitating east to the earlier openings of the middle belt, as well as inconvenience and often loss to many farmers. This trend away from our home markets is in creasing every year. The present year it will doubtless assume serious proportions, as our farmers wilt be ready for sales nearly a month earlier than usual. Good roads, motor transpor - tation and quick money are the factors that are sbwly but surely weakening our home markets, and undermining the valuable service ar.d the costly investments established by our warehou l - for the farmer's interest. The Corn Field. What is more beautiful than a great field of dark green waving corn, tasseled like a division of ptumed knights? And probably never before has Stokes county been blessed with such a swell crop of it. Thanks to the agricultural courses, the county agents, the 4-H eiubs, etc., the farmers are learning to grow it the scientific way, with yields per acre larger and larger every year. Corn may be the bulwark of a nation. You can't starve a country that makes corn to sell. It laughs at famine and blockade. It establishes international trade balances, builds battleships, feeds armies, and whitttes down national debts and deficits. You can't eat tobacco but you can oat com, fresh or dried. It mages blood, bone and sinew. It fattens the swine in the pen and makes the old cow snug and satisfied with her forage. And the mules pull the plow merrily when you let them chomp all night on the ears and the fod der. Its proceeds buy school books and little shoes, and a dress for mama and a suit for daddy. It is clean and honest and pure, and proud may be he or she whose sweat and toil produce it. It is a gift from heaven. . t»~ Was His Honor Unfair To The Kids? We do not believe that Judge Bivens was inten tionally unfair to the kids when he smashed their pet gambling machines. These slot rackets were open and above board in the stoi cafes, filling stations, etc. Thev were always visible. He smashed the only gamb ling racket in sight—that of the kids. He had no means of getting at their daddies who play their poker behind closed doors at night or on Sunday evenings when the rattle of the coin is drowned by the church organ or piano. Neither had the Judge before him any vociferous complaints about their mammies playing bridge for interesting prizes. The fine art of gambling is a very fascinating vice, but its trail may often be followed further *han the slot machines. Thanks To Our Sister Counties The splendid vote driven in Surry. Rockin.orharr. end Caswell hst Saturday to the Stokes candi date for solicitor, is highly appreciated by the people of Stokes county. It was not only a fine tribute to Mr. Scott, but was a generous gesture of friendship, consideration and fairness toward their sister county whose ctaims for this honor were recognized and rewarded. THE DANBURY REPORTER The Housing Problem Of The County-Seat Danbury urgently needs quite a number of new homes. Several families would remove here it* houses were available, or if lots could be obtained on which to build. Many men and women who have positions here with governmental or State agencies, commute daily from distances of 10 to 20 miles because there are no places to live con veniently with their work. A moderate size bote! or boarding house for the accommodation of regu lar boarders and transients—to say nothing of suinmer visitor; who would come and remain in definitely—would certainly pay good dividends, if properly managed. The county consolidation idea is tremendously enhanced by the inability or refusal of county seat towns to provide adequate accommodation for visitors and patrons. Under the liberal administration of government financial assistance it is compartively easy now to finance the building of homes where the ground is available. Your Old-Age Insurance WHAT OLD-AGE INSURANCE MEANS TO WOMEN Winston-Salem, N. C. July 4. Many girls who have jobs in stores, offices, laundries, restauranfs, hotels, will continue to work five or six ye»r:; then they will marry and leave the business world for awhile, maybe forever. What will become of their old-age insurance benefits ? Such benefits, as may accrue, will be waiting for them in the Trea sury of the United States, whe.i those women reach the age of 65. Whether a woman marries or not has nothing whatever to do with the matter of her old-age in surance. Quite often marriage takes a woman out of the wag«; | earning class, or interrupts her employment. But during all the time—between the last day of 1936 and her 65th birthday—that she is employed in any line of bus iness or industry, which comes un der the old-age insurance law, her wages will be credited to her so cial security account. Even though she changes jobs, often, and is employed by many different firms, that will not alter an insured worker's right to old age insurance protection. Old-age insurance will be paid to workers who are entitled to such payment, regardless of prop- American Nitrate Souths Progress | (Jrowth in Past Decade Exceeds All Previous Records "Keep All Your Bets oo Dixie" i advint'H a recent editorial in the Progressive Farmer, which calls at- j tention to a report by the U.

The amount of old-age insur-' ; ance each insured wage-earner I will receive depends upon the total amount of wages paid her between i the last day o f 1936 and her 65th birthday. The amount of th e payment will be 3 1-2 percent of all wages shown on her social. security account. There is no chance for the wo-' man who participates in the old age insurance plan to lope.
