AN ENCOURAGING PRICE
It was encouraging information that the Marketing
Company passed out regarding yams averaging $3.64 at
this early stage of the selling season. Yams averaged a
fancy $3.86 last season for the whole season but through
the first few weeks of the season, the average was some
40 cents per bushel less than it is this year.
It is generally believed that more potatoes were planted I
this year than last and if the price holds good throughout j
the year, as we believe that it will, and if the volume isj
up a consequential amount, perhaps the farmer revenue'
loss through a short tobacco crop, will be made up by the'
income from the famed yams.
There's no doubt that the sweet potato business is going!
to keep right on growing for a few years and with Tabor)
City getting the jump in the business several years earlier ι
than most communities, we should be able to continue our
position as "Yam Capital of the World."
ME PARENTS
DELINQUENT TOO? !
There are about 1300 children attending the Tabor City.
Schools (white) today and all of them have parents or.
guardian^ who should take an interest in the Parent
Teachers Association—an organization that exists solely!
to take such action as will benefit those children, the
teachers and the school in general. j
Yet, only a handful shows up at meetings and makes it
a rather difficult job for leaders of the group who are
constantly trying to do something. Last year the P-TA
was successful in sponsoring the project that resulted in
the fence around the school grounds. That fence might
well have saved the life of your child. That project alone
is noteworthy enough to merit your interest in the organi
zation.
We fully realize that there's some kind of meeting just
about every night and that you can't go to all of them.
But let's not make the habit of putting the P-TA at the
bottom of the list. Let's give it some genuine considera
tion which it deserves.
When you get real tired of going, going, going to this
and that public meeting, just think a little and see if per-j
haps you weren't doing your bit toward building a better |
place to live. If we succeed in doing that, we will have
left more on this earth than we could have left any other
way.
Carter's Column \
By W. Horace Carter .
When elections roll around, as
they do either city, State of Na
tional just about every year, peo
ple constantly get after us as to
where we stand as a newspaper.
And you know, that in the past
we have stuck our neck out in the
open and said we were either for
this person or that person and if
you were on our side fine, and if
you weren't fine. You see, people
can rightly ask for a newspaper
to come out in the open even when
they don't care to personally say
which side of the fense they are
on. It seems to us, that newspapers
just kind of owe its readers the
right to know whether what they
read is slanted for one candidate
er the other.
Well now in the past, which
ever candidate we said we were
for was just l:ke saying that the
other fellow was sure to win.
Makes it just about a certainty for
the fellow that we oppose to get
elected. Hasn't been but one devi
ation from that pattern in the last
three years. So, it would seem
that we should say here just the
opposite from what we hope will
happen in regard to the president
ial election coming up November
3.
But, we would not have a clear
conscience if we openly advocate
ed a continued Democratic ad
ministration. Remember, we are
registered Democrats. But we feel
that the 20 years in public office
has put so many professional poli
ticians into positions of power
that we are slowly losing the last
semblance of democracy, and that
the present administration is the
most incompetent in the history
of government in this councry.
We cannot with a clear face
accept the phony prosperity of
today at face value and say "we|
never had it so good." We can't |
honestly feci that a nation with a
public debt equal to $1700 for
every man woman and child is in
good condition. Especially when
we stop to think that just 20 years
ago this figure was only $116.10
for each man. woman and child.
I We can't honestly support aa
administration that has entangled
us in a war that they say is no
war in which over 100,000 casual
ties have already been felt. A
war in which not even Congress
declared. A war in which we make
no effort to win but only to allow
Americans to remain month after
month in dangerous, unwholesome t
conditions. A penalty for blunders!
made by men in government. We
say at the same time, we have
never opposed the war itself in
Korea. We have opposed the
white - gloved, pussy - footing a
round that the administration has
carried on there. It has never been
a real effort to halt communism
but rather a move to bolster our
ι sagging economy and keep us in
the good graces of neighboring
nations who would like to see the
United States bankrupt. We be
lieve in action designed to win
the war and get the boys back
home or else call it quits and come
on back anyhow. And you would
too if you were tramping through
the mud of a Korean rice paddy.
Thus ws go on record as per
sonally favoring a change of ad
ministration and the election of
General Eisenhower. We say at
the same time that we dobut seri
ously that Eisenhower will be
elected. The big labor unions of
the nation are behind Governor
Stevenson, and he will still get
the vote of the "solid South." But
you and I will iive to regret it.
You can paint a pretty picture
of today's prosperity if you are so
inclined. You can paint a dreary
picture of the Hoover era if you
are so inclined. But you as an
American owe it to the future gen
erations to thing a little before
blindly marking an "X" on a bal
lot. Your children already have a
$1700 mortgage hanging over their
heads. And did you ever hear of
a mortgage holder not getting his
just payment one way or another?
And with these remarks, we
can expect our usual number of
"cussing outs" but such is the oc
cupational hazards of newsparing.

Hcmemarkers—Planning meals
that are balanced in nutrients is |
not enough for you to do. We must!
plan food combinations that are
not only good to eat, nutritionally
right, but our food must look ap- ι
petitizing as well. Food must have!
not only taste appeal but eye ap- |
peal.
All this goes towards making'
meal planning, preparations, and j
serving an interesting part of;
homemaking rather than a labori
ous chore.
People have established certain
principles through practicing cus
toms which we consider to be es
sential for correct table service
and good table manners. It's im
portant nowadays for every one to
know what customs say we must
do in the way of meal time eti
quette.
Take advantage oflfell the differ
ent ways to cook vegetables to add
texture and flavor to your menus.
Why cook in the same way, day in
and day out, vegetables, meats,
salads, desserts?
Fingernail polish on shoe strings
—sometimes metal tips come off
of shoe strings. Try dipping the
end of shoe string in clear finger
nail polish. Two heavy dips would
last a good long time. Of course,
the polish must dry thoroughly
between each dip.
Use kerosene to remove letter
ing on feed bags. It doesn't al
ways work—most times it does.
Lettering on flour or feed bags
will come right out when kerosene
has been poured on the letters and
then rolled up for a day or two,
jr less time.
Minute Sennen
Good people are found every
where-sometime in unexpected
places. One of the high privileges
3f a minister is that he gets to
Icnow people in many different
ivalks of life, in many varying
»conomic conditions, with many
distinctive traditions. Yet they all
have accepted the grace and love
of God for themselves and are
trying earnestly to live lives as
they believe God would have
them. A man who cleared the
land and built his own farmhouse
with his own hands, the president
of a railroad, a sailor for thirty
years, a man who ships a carload
of beans to New York every two
weeks, a man who inherited a
seed company from his grand
father, a former professional box
er—in recent years the writer has
been entertained in the home of
each of these people. They kept
the preacher who was to speak in
their churches the next morning:
"And they shall come from the
east and the west, and from the
north and south, and shall set
down in the kingdom of God."
Luke 13:29.
