His eggs were uniform in size, color, weight, and did not contain blood spots, meat spots, or bloody yolks.

If Governor Cherry would measure up to the full stature of the Chief Execu tive fashioned in the minds of his friends, he must go all-out for the Hos pital and Medical Service Bill now be ginning to languish in the General As sembly. This hospital and medical care bill em braces the greatest constructive legisla tion in the history of the State. The Governor jeopardized the fate of the bill when he went before the commit tee and delivered himself as follows: We quote from the Associated Press: "Reminded that teachers had a priori ty on any surplus. Too, he said, many of the incorporated proposals must be post poned until some future date." This sentiment of the Governor to stay on tiie inside of the budget with refer ence to the Hospital and medical service bill, almost insures its non-realization. It is a disparagement which will inevit ably influence law-makers' minds ad versely. North Carolina has had its great War governors in Vance and Bickett; its magnificent educational governor in Ay cock; its outstanding good roads gover nor in Morrison. The next greatest Governorship op portunity is open for Governor Cherry —that of Health Governor. Will he accept it? Health is even more important than education and good roads. North Carolina cannot afford longer to stay so close to the bottom in its service to its unfortunates. People are now 011 fire from one end of the State to the oth er over the health situation, when we have counties like Stokes with no hospi tal nor health center and only one doc tor to four or five thousand people. It is fine and good for Governor Cherry to be a stickler for economy and balanc ed budgets as long as the citizens do not suffer from a parsimonious policy of.the State. States with balanced budgets do not always stand for the ideal service to their citizenships. North Carolina cannot afford to fall down on this health program, and our Governor cannot afford to let it fail— budget or no budget. When the poor colonists of 1775 felt the hand on their throats clenching tighter, they did not ask for a balanced 6udget before appropriating money to fight the war. When Pearl Harbor shocked the souls of the nation, President Roosevelt and the leaders of the government did not wait to balance the budget. Is the nlirht of the sick and afflicted of counties like Stokes much less urgent than those national emergencies? Thinking men like .Tosenhus Danie'-. Dr. Clarence Poe, Dr. W. C. Davidson of Duke University, and hundreds of oth- of the mo?t eminent citizens of the State think the health situation is very s prions and should be taken care of by +he State at any cost. It is hierh time Governor and the legislators should act —all out. n ON'T FENCE NORTH CAROLINA IN!
