HAYSEED A Country Home By Uncle Sam There may have been a time when it was the part of wisdom to leave the country for the city. The time is here when the city is only for the young and those who have a business, a paying job or have plenty money well in vested. It is no place for the man or woman who is past middle age and is poor. The years tell on the man or woman who is past middle age. One of the first questions asked a person who is seeking work is their age. Only when workmen are sorely needed will workers in the older brackets be employ ed. When unions go out on a icy to erect its own power plants . wherever it builds. • Also along the power front, Carl Sink, former assistant director of the State Advertising Bureau, is 1 the new public relations director j for Tidewater Power Company. In the ad bureau, Sink was [ number one aide to Bill Sharpe, who now is doing public relations for Carolina Power and Light Company. • Speculation is running rife on [the old east-west tradition for se lection of governors. Seasoned observers are prone to question the wisdom of anyone bucking it, because if it ever is broken the Piedmont section will be able to run the State. The less populated east and far west would be out of luck. D. Hiden Ramsey, Asheville publisher, reportedly has gained most in the gubernatorial shuf ! fling with the politicians reaching that decision. Revival Meeting A revival meeting will begin Monday, September 18, at the Church of God located on Horton Avenue, with Rev. Roland Venieo of Durham as evangelist. Special singing and a message will be given each night, with the services beginning at 7:30. Pastor ! T. E. Bowman stated that the pub lic is invited to attend. strike and go back to work if there are any who are not re employed it will be among the older workers. In the city the turn of a spigot, the pressing of a light button, the kindling of a fire, every move costs money. Expenses will not down in the city. A few acres of land in the coun try where there is water and fuel, even though the house is small is an ideal home for the poor. A garden, a cow and a few chick ens will do wonders in helping out with a living. There are millions who ought to leave the noise, the traffic, the tension and the expense of the city for a quiet country home. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, September 12, 1950 Cotton Growers Urged to Utilize Grading Service Free government cotton classing and market news information will be available this season to more than 67,000 North Carolina and Virginia cotton growers who are members of organized cotton im provement groups, David H.

The farmer will receive a green card, usually with in three or four days, showing the grade and staple of each bale. Af ter receiving this information, he should read his newspaper, listen to the radio, or talk with his coun- I ty agent or PMA representative to j see what his particular grade and ! staple of cotton are worth. A Year’s Work In urging that growers have eve ry bale classed and find out • what their particular grade and staple are worth before selling, Stancil said: “A farmer has work-! ed all year to produce his crop. ; He has fought grass and the boll i weevil; he has spent money for • fertilizer, for poison, for labor, and I for ginning: and he has finally pro i duced a bale of cotton after a year’s ! struggle. Why should he sell it to | anyone before he knows what it is j worth?” District Rotary Head Addresses Local Club B. H.
