IHHIHTlTlTm i'vn'jT'i'fT.TiTiTr) rrrrrrrm zg’mzrQsrmm: Indirect Attack “We are tired of this New Deal stuff and we are now ready to talk turkey with the reaction aries," the boys who have learned to walk alone since Hooverism are shouting throughout the country. It is not quite clear just what they mean, for the New Deal has long since been gone. The Civilian Conservation Corps was de serted. The Works Progress Administration was abandoned. The National Youth Administration was packed away. F’arm Security is hopping along on a crutch. The old farm program is about on its last legs, and other New Deal agen cies have just about been shot. Possibly most of them have served their purpose, and it is well that they have been shelved. And that being the case, what are the reac tionaries talking about when they say “That Old New Deal”? There is little doubt but what that crowd has forgotten the New Deal that pulled them out of the mire in the early thir ties. It is their privilege to turn against the helping hand—so many of us do that even when long friendships are involved. But it would appear that the bellyachers now are advanc ing republicanism and greed. They are talking about a square deal just as if they meant that is what would follow if the Republicans were returned to power. They talk against the New Deal when in truth they are attacking the Dem ocratic party and advancing republicanism. They associate the New Deal with war emer gencies. They would have us believe that the OPA, the War Food Administration and the other agencies growing out of the war are New Deal agencies, that the New Deal and not the war is hindering them from piling up more profits. They would have the public believe that the New Deal is responsible for rationing, that the New Deal is responsible for everything we do not like. Few of them ever admit that these are abnormal times, that there is a war to be won, and that we cannot expect business to go on as usual. With the possible exception of a few isolated cases such as the dairy industry, some white collared workers and some few others, the home front is maintaining a better balance than it did during the last war. But despite that fact, there is more hard bellyaching now than there was then. It is apparent that some think they are having a trying and hard time amidst friends and luxury at home, that they should : be given fame and fortune for remaining at home while others go out and fight. Apparently the reactionaries want to run the government in a manner best suited for their selfish and political interests regardless of war and those doing the actual fighting, and the best way they can launch the attack against the administration is through the defunct New Deal, they think. Doing The Other Fellotc's Job ■ -It -is* litfc short of-a disgrace that the Array is having to establish In this enlightened nation schools for the training of thousands of illiter ates. The schools and leaders in public educa tion will have a hard time explaining why the Army has to set up schools for teaching young men their ABC’s. It is to be admitted, however, that the schools are not responsible for such a sad state of affairs. Indifference on the part of parents has made it possible for many children to frown upon an education even in its basic form. Right here in Martin County landlords, industrialists, shops and others have not en couraged youths to take advantage of even lim ited educational opportunities. A quarter of a century ago, many thought it was more econom ical to keep a young’un out of school to handle a job than it was to employ an older person at a higher cost to do the same job. The prac tice is not as wide spread today as it was then, but it is returning on an ever-increasing scale. Some would justify it under the war emergen cy, and possibly that is an acceptable excuse. j But the time is not far distant when an educa tion, even the elementary rules, will be more important than it is now. ‘ As for the saving effected a quarter of a cen- i tury ago, we can now see that it was false econ- ( omy. Thousands have been refused by the mili- ! tary services because they could neither read 1 nor write. Thousands are now fighting in places j that should have been filled by the illiterates 1 who were excused. In addition to that deplorable fact, millions of dollars are being spent by the Army to teach i illiterates to read and write. There are twenty- • three special training units now in operation in ! this country, doing nothing but teaching illit erates a few fundamentals they failed to get < back in civilian life from the public schools. At 1 Fort Bragg, 4,500 grown men have been accept- i ed by the training unit since the middle of last June. And that is a heck of a state of affairs j when the Army has to stop and teach its men ( Lo read and write before it can teach them how s to fight. j i Regulation Not The l$»ue « -•—— ( Sew* and Observer. £ In a speech to a group of State Insurance Com missioners at Harrisburg, Penna., last night, i Governor Broughton made an eloquent plea •' for State rather than Federal regulation of in- 4 surance companies. , Although the Governor did not mention the t bill now pending in Congress to exempt insur- 1 ince companies from the anti-trust laws, the s speech will no doubt be construed and cited as e support of that bill. I Such a construction would be unwarranted, j Federal regulation of insurance companies is § lot an issue. No one has proposed to substitute Federal for State regulation, although there may be some dissenters to the picture of per fection which the Governor paints for State regulation as it has been applied in the past. The only issue raised by the pending bill of mixed House and Senate parentage is whether rr not insurance companies shall be exempted from a criminal statute applying not alone to them but to all citizens of the United States, corporate and individual. Such exemption vould constitute class legislation of the worst >ort. The bill should not be given serious con iideration.

Garriss, Extension >lant pathologist at N. C. State Col ege. He says that there are no known 'arieties of tobacco which are re istant to sore shin or “rotten stalk,” ind that growers should not order (lack shank resistant seed with the xpectation of getting resistance to rotten stalk.” He points out that the symptoms f the two diseases, at certain stages, re somewhat similar but that grow rs can distinguish between them by :eepmg certain facts in mind. Black shank kills roots quickly and he entire lower part of the stalk iecomes blackened up to a point sev ral inches above the ground. Sore hin, or rotten stalk, differs from his in that the base of the stalk and he roots usually remain healthy for i longer time, thus confining the dis ase primarily to a blackened section f the stalk at and for some distance bove the ground. Black shank usually kills out Tactically all the plants in contam nated spots in the field, while sore hin kills out scattered plants hroughout the field. Stalks killed by black shank us lally remain standing while those [iseased with sore shin have a char cterislic habit of breaking near the oil line and falling over. The black shank disease is confin d primarily to counties in the Old lelt and to Pitt County in the New lelt while sore shin occurs common V throughout the entire tobacco rowing area. Relief At Last For Your Cough Creomuls'on relieves promptly be cause it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel Wrm laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, in flamed bronchial mucous mem bnsnes. Tell your druggist to sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with the un derstanding you must like the way it quickly allays the cough or you are to have your money back. CREOMULSION for Coughs, Chest Colds. Bronchitis Cotton Since most cotton warehouses arc practically full of cotton and there is little demand for it, except at low prices, growers should store theii :rop on the farm and make applica tion for loans through the local AAA office, says D.
