DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year. $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 Suggestion For Merchants We believe that Warrentcn mer chants could substantially increase thtir business by keeping their stores open until 9 o'clock on Fri day nights, and we submit this thought to the consideration of the Merchants Association. A few weeks ago we attended the movie, "Mary Poppins," at a Hen derson theatre at 6 o'clock and at shot.ly after 8 o'clock we walked down the streets of Henderson to where our car was parked. We were amazed at 'he amount of traffic on the street and noticed several stores were open. We understand that many towns now keep their stores open on Friday night. Most industrial plants now work five days a week, which means that employees are paid off on Friday afternoon. Many of these, we believe, like to shop on Friday nights, and no doubt some of these are going to Henderson where they can dc so. In addition most of our farmers are busy in the day lin.e "..c btsy season. Many v/oula find it a great convenience >o shop at night. The longer hours might work a hardship on some employees and migh. also cause some employers to piy overtime. Fortunately, this would not be widespread as many of our stores have enough employees to stagger their hours of work. By the same token, while we recognize the worth of Wednesday afternoon closings during the sum mer months, as was once the prac tice here, we have our doubts about whether it should be a year-round practice. We are not merchants just dependent upon the merchants prosperity?but we have the firm conviction that a merchant can not sell goods with his store closed. Let The Democratic Land Refrain' By ROBERT MASON In The Norfolk Virginia Pilot A revival of "sir" and "madame" as forms of address is being discussed, cautiously, In Russia. And in the United States the Supreme Court has upheld, 6-3, a young Negro woman's right to be called "Miss." Thus the world becomes a tiny bit more gracious. Nodelya, the weekly supplement of the Soviet government newspaper Izvestla, is leading the movement for a reintroduction of "sudar" (sir) and "sundarynya" (madame) into the spoken language. They were dropped after the revolution along with other words that had been directed to the privileged. Now Nodelya is suggesting they might be employed without class-consciousness. The revolution Is a long time past. And it would seem more fitting to approach someone in, say, a Moscow restaurant as "sudar" or ?'sudarynya'' than with the solemn' 'tovar lsh" (comrade) or with whatever in Russian means "hey you!" The United States ruling grew out of the young woman's refusal to answer an Ala bama prosecutor who insisted on addressing her during a trial by her first name. She was cited for contempt of court and at pealed her conviction. For this issue to have had to be decided by the nation's highest tribunal is as much a curiosity as the Rus sian dilemma over what is an acceptable term for men and women, especially strang ers, to use in ordinary salutation. If there was a question about the Alabama law, there was none as to common courtesy. Yet the gap in Southern manners Is long standing . In refusing to call a colored person "Mister," "Miss," white persons of many generations have resorted, although not always unkindly, to subterfuge-sometimes ludicrous, occasionally shabby, always cowardly. Children of my day were instructed by their parents to call older Negroes "Uncle" and "Aunt." We were led to believe that these were titles of respect and were ap preciated. Maybe they were appreciated in cases. But not always. I recall the late-summer day I stopped at a tobacco curing barn with a friend of years as tender as my own. Two of his father's tenants, a man and wife, were grading leaf. My friend called them Uncle Bethel and Aunt At a. Wishing to say some thing to the woman, I too addressed her as Aunt Ata. "Don't call me aunt, boy," she said to me in a grumpy voice. "I ain't your mama's sister." I was shocked and pained. And the child shame has come back to me on every occassion since then, though all these years that I have witnessed the denial to a Negro of the simple and, indeed, meaningless title that every other adult takes for granted. Artifice often has been resorted to by whites to avoid calling a Negro "Mister." it makes no difference If the substitute term Is far more exalted or Intimate than the one avoided. "Professor," "Doctor," "Rever end," "Deacon," "Brother" ? anything ex cept the single word that Is precise and suitable; anything to protect the symbol lily A few years ago I attended a public hear ing on race legislation. It was presided over by a high stats official. Hs was dignified, Impartial and rfflclent. Although the topic was sensitive and the speeches emotional, he Eventually a Negro spoke. The state of ficial so stilted him by name bat not with the prefix "Mister". Instead hs callsd him "PrssMeat." The witness, it h^p snarl. was the chief executive officer of a largs and At the time Russia abolishsd "sir" and It banned also all dlptoaiatie and military titles. The pretense of com munism's purity (ailed. Once again Russia has ministers and admirals and generals and marshals and calls them such. If It gets up enough nerve, It may determine that "sir" and "madame" are not evil but merely polite and convenient words for addressing men and women wherever they appear. If it takes a Kremlin pronouncement to put through the reform, let us In the demo cratic land refrain from snickering.

KM Suggestions Are Offered On Applying Sucker Chemicals For the first time In 1965 tobacco growers have three chemicals from which to choose In an effort to control harmful plant suckers. There are the oil emulsions, which have been used for some time. There is the much pub licized MH-30 and there is a new chemical on the market, Penar. For farmers who are ponder ing which of these chemicals to use, if any, tobacco special !?,s at N. C. State University at Raleiu" ' ?? Uned anum ber lelr consld fat'or The following points, the sf>?cialists say, may be helpful in getting best results from the use of MH-30. 1. It is a systemic ma terial. It must be taken Into the plant, but when it is taken in, It is translocated to all parts of the plant-wlth the greatest concentration In growth points. 2. At least one-third of the leaf area should be sprayed preferably the upper one-third. 3. Use at least two nozzles and preferably three per row, one directed down into the up per half of the plant from each side and one down into the top of the plant above the row. 4. The suggested rs.te is one pint of MH-30 per 1,000 plants in 20 to 50 gallons of water per acre. Good coverage in creases absorption and im proves sucker control. 5. Morning applications, starting before the dew is dry, but after large droplets of dew have run off the plants, are best. ?? 6. Applications which stay on about 5TX hourE^before a rain will probably be effective, especially if the humidity In tho air is high and if the soil moisture is favorable for rapid growth. 7. Best sucker control can be expected if application is made when there is and has been suf ficient moisture for good growth. Best absorption can be expected under high humidity conditions. 8. MH-30 can be expected to increase the sugar content, the moisture - holding capacity, body of the upper leaves and yield, and decrease the filling Lambert Named Rural Minister Of Year Rev. James M. Lambert, pas tor of Scott's Creek Baptist Chureh at Sylva, has been named North Carolina's 1965 Rural Minister of the Year by The Progressive Farmer and Emory University. Announce ment of the recognition Is made In the August Issue of the maga zine. Rev. Lambert received the award July 15 at Emory, where he attended the Town and Country Church workshop on a scholarship he received In con nection with the honor. Scott's Creek Church was or ganized In 1830. In 1962 the then modern sanctuary and Sun day School rooms were destroy ed by fire. Under Rev. Lam bert's leadership a new church plant was completed and dedi cated Dec. 15, 1963. Thechurch now has almost 700 members. Rev. Lambert works closely with the young people, and coaches a Little League base ball team. He Instituted a "Dlal a-Prayer" program, a series of recorded devotlonals available by telephone. The son of a Baptist minis ter, he is a gradual* of V/ike Forest College and Southern Baptist Seminary.

WARRENTON. N. C. capacity. The degree of change is influenced by the time of treatment, and to a lesser de gree, the rate of MH-30 used. The earlier applications and heavier rates have caused more change than the later application and lower rate. 9. Best results have been obtained when MH-30 was ap plied in a split application application being made about three to four days apart. The following pofnts, the specialists say, may be help ful In getting best results from the use of Penar: 1. Penar Is a contact-like ma terial. To get satisfactory con trol the material must touch +he?stidter.?This?means the spray material must be direct ed into the top of the plant where the top was removed touching each sucker as It runs down the plant. 2. Penar can kill the suck ers within a few minutes (30 minutes) after application. The kill Is fatlon In warm sunny weather. 3. Use one pint of Penar for each 2,000 plants in 35 to 50gal lons of water per acre. Two ap plications of this mixture is usually sufficient to give satis factory control-one application Immediately after topping and removing any suckers longer than one inch, and another ap plication about ten days later. Excessive dosages may cause burn injury. 4. With tractor mounted spray equipment use three nozzles per row, eight to ten Inches above the plants and directed Into the top of the plant. With hand sprayer, direct-spray lnto~top~ of plant, making a circular mo tion, Ttren sweep ttra nuzzle down the stalk dodging leaves as you go and count to four. 5. Top and make first appli cation when the plants are In the early to full-flower stage. 6. Penar has affected the yield, chemical and physical properties of tobacco In the same direction and to about the same degree as MH-30^7 7. Plants should be standing straight when the material Is applied. The following points, the specialists add, may be helpful in getting best results from the use of oil emulsions. 1. Because, of possible dam age to the tobacco only those oil emulsions made specifical ly for use on tobacco are sug gested. They should be mixed with water In proportions sug gested by the manufacturer. 2. OH emulsions kill tobacco suckers by contact. They are applied to the top of the stalk where the top is removed and run down the stalk, killing the sucker buds ssThey are touch ed. 3. Use about onn half to one teaspbonful per plant. Six thou sand plants per acre will re quire about two gallons of emul siable oil with an equal amount of water. 4. The emulsion can be ap plied with equipment to cut the top out and apply the material at the same time or equipment which only squirts the material on the top of the stalk. 5. If topping is to be done ahead of application, clean up all suckers and apply material immediately. 6. Plants should be topped and treated in the early flower stage. 7. Treat In clear, warm weather, but avoid hot days and especially the hot part of the day when the temperature roaches or exceeds 90degrees. 8. Good sucker control will not be obtained if the plants fare-noT standing upright when the material is applied. y. oil emulsions nave gen erally not affected the physical or chemical properties or yield as much as MH-30 or Penar, but under some conditions there has been some damage to the plants in the form of stalk rot and leaf drop from the use of this material. Ruling (continued from page 1) exists a difference of opinion as to which county should be charged with the administra tion of the school, should a new district be formed. The county l'.ne runs across the school property, with the class rooms being In Warren County and the gym and athletic field being In Halifax County. The population of Littleton Is nearly evenly divided between Warren yid Halifax Counties. Only beginners would be af fected by the ruling for the 1965-66 term, but In future years It could mean the closing of the Littleton school, the board agreed, as there are not enough pupils In the Littleton district 1^ Halifax County or tne Lit tleton district In Warren Coun ty alone to support a high school. Should the redrawing of dis trict lines at Littleton and a change In administrative units require a legislative act, It would be two years before the change could be made. If the change could be made and ap proved by the Stat* Board Of Education, no anoh delay would be necessary, although doubt was expressed that the change could be mada In time for the 1963-66 school year. Board member Ed Harvey of Littleton aald that he did not know which administrative unit would better serve the Little ton school, but the feeling had been expressed that the chance for growth of Ihe school would come about by Including It In the Halifax administrative unit. He said that he would try to find out the wishes of the people of Littleton and report at the August meeting of the board.
