(Slje Bamn Sworii Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES, Editor ? 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 A Good Time Of Year Warren County Is still a farming county and summer remains the season of greatest toil. No air conditioning except that of evaporat ing sweat makes more bearable the heat of a broiling sun and no 40 hour week marks the length of the farmer's days. He gambles against blue mold, too much water, too little water, wilt, insects, hail and wind, and finally gambles his year's work against fire in the tobacco barn. In contrast, summer with its long days, its slowing down of the busi ness pace, its vacations, its hours of play, holds much charm for those who make their living off the farm, but man is a creature of labor and in labor he finds most of his plea sure. Thus as summer wanes both townsmen and farmers find them selves looking forward to the har vest season- the farmer as a time of reward for his summer's labor and the promise of a slackened pace when he too can enjoy the recrea tion tKat is so necessary to happi ness; the business man as a period of work as well as a season of opportunity for accomplishment. The big event in the year is the opening of the tobacco market when the farmer finds himself a part of the increased tempo of business life and the merchant as a result finds his cashregiste beginning to jingle. It has been so as far as the memory of most of us reaches backward, and this fall is no exception. The anticipation and the fulfill ment always depend on two factors, the state of the tobacco crop and the price of the golden weed. This year Warren County has a good tobacco crop and indications from the mar kets that have already opened are that prices are going to be ex ceptionally good. Thus farmers and townsmen face the prospect of a good fall. Why Are We In Viet Nam? A policy statement by secfelafy~oJ Stale Dean Rusk in the just-issued pamphlet Why Viet Nam. Let us be clear about our commitment In Viet Nam. It began with the Southeast Asia Treaty, which was negotiated and signed after the Geneva agreements and the cease-ftre in Indo-Chlna In 1954 and was approved by the United States Senate by a vote of 82 to 1 In February 1955. That treaty protects against Communist agression not only Its members but any of the three non-Communist states growing out of former French Indo-Chlna which asks for protection. Late In 1954 President Elsenhower, with bipartisan support, decided to extend aid to South Viet Nam, both economic and aid In training its armed forces. His purpose, as he said was to "assist the government of Viet Nam In developing and maintaining a strong, viable state, capable of resisting attempted subversion or aggression through military means." Viet Nam became a Republic in 1955, was recognized as an independent nation by Uncovering Secrets Of Gulf Stream The Durham Sun The watei that warms North Carolina's beaches, the Gulf Stream, Is undergoing in tensive, scientific study these days. Long discussed and frequently studied, the Stream plays an important role, not only to the Tar Heel coast, but on the nation's fishing industry and on Europe's weather. Ben Franklin made the first reported scientific study of the Gulf Stream nearly 200 years ago but seawlse captains had made use of the Stream to speed their return to European ports for centuries before then. The Stream follows the southeastern U. S. coastline until it reaches Cape Hatteras. Off Hatteras, it meets the cold Arctic currents and curves northeastward to Europe. It is that clash of Arctic waters with the currents out of the Gulf of Mexico which breed many of the fierce storms that sud denly swirl In on the Outer Banks. The collision of. the two currents also la credited with creating the Diamond Shoals of Hatteras, those hazards to ships which five the area the name, the Garveyard of the Atlantic. The scientific team studying the Stream la concentrating on a large segment of It off Cape Hatteras along with sections in three other areas. What aecreta are being unlocked by the study have not yet been reported But North Carolinians, like the scieotista conducting the study, remain curious about the Stream which pushes tropical water aero as the ocean to murm northwestern Europe.

Beginning tn 1955, the Congress has each year approved overall economic and military assistance programs in which In continuation of major aid to South Viet Nam has been specifically considered. During the next five years, South Viet Nam made remarkable economic and social progress ? what some observers describe as a "miracle." Nearly a million refugees from the North were settled. These were the stout-hearted people of whom the late Dr. Tom Dooley wrote so eloquently In his first book, "De liver Us From Evil," and who led him to devote the rest of his all to brief life to helping the people of Viet Nam and Laos. A land reform program was launched. A comprehensive system of agricultural credit was set up. Thousands of new schools and more than 3,500 village health stations were built. Rail transportation was restored and roads were repaired and Improved. South Viet Nam not only fed itself but re sumed rice exports. Production of rubber and sugar rose sharply. New industries were started. Per capita income rose by twenty per cent. By contrast, North Viet Nam suffered a drop of ten per cent In food production and disappointments in industrial produc tion. In 1954, Hanoi almost certainly had ex pected to take over South Viet Nam within a few years. But by 1959 Its hopes had withered and the South was far outstripping the heralded "Communist paradise." These almost certainly were the factors which led Hanoi to organize and launch the assault on the South. NEWS OF FTVE.
