Some observers declare that conditions are no worse here than fhi?y~ire in other’places. It is to be regretted that conditions are bau in any place', but regardless of how bad they are or how good they are in other places, it is about time that something was done to improve them at home. It is no joking matter when seventeen drunks are counted on the main streets of a town this size in one night. It is really serious when children and adults, too, can’t walk up and down the streets of a town without hearing profanity. It is bad enough for the drunks to wallow in the streets and gutters, but it is worse for them to know that they can square their acts with society by paying a nominal cost fee and occas ionally a small fine. When the drunkard is allowed to go unnotic ed, there is strong evidence that law and order are slipping, for to compromise with crime in any form is to tear down that which is right and decent. Yes, many are willing to overlook these minor infractions of the law, but when bigger things grow out of those infractions, the public looks to the enforcement officers and their employers, wondering why such conditions were ever allowed to exist. Give All A Fair Chance Congress in these next few months is in for a mad scramble. The pressure groups are in there demanding much and shewing little in clination to give anything. One pressure group is demanding a special favor in one breath and in the next breath ex pressing opposition to a similar nSQpest made by another group. There is no room for special favors. All should be given a fair and equal chance. In notltor words, 't give agriculture guaran " teed parity prises,•■a,xil-man-age^neint:;giia2:ariieed' -profits unless iaber i.v grmv consideration. No one can be honestly in favor of paying a work er to remain idle, but how about the man who wants to work and can’t find work? Most of those who are bitterly opposed to unemploy ment benefits could, not meet the bare necessi ties of life if they were denied all but a weekly compensation check. Unanswered Smithfield Herald The current discussion about the full employ ment bill finds opponents lambasting the idea that the government can, or should, do any thing about giving people work and. in the same breath, advancing the idea that if business is given the “green light,” there will be prosperity, not around the corner, but everywhere. The debate moves an interesting citizen to ask some questions. Here they are: 1. With corporate earnings at fabulous heights, there so much unom, 19119? 2. Did government bureaucracy or industrial planning bring on the depression of 1933? 3. Does business, socalled, really want the gov ernment to get out of business and, to be con crete, does the aviation industry want the gov ernment to cease building airports? 4. Does business, socalled, want the govern ment to cease all protection, all subsidies and all legislation that creates and maintains privileges for certain economic operations’ These are fair questions but we have not heard them answered. Cause For Action The fact that five persons have already lost their lives in road accidents in the county so far ttiis year is good cause for action against speed ing, reckless, careless and drunken driving. When the cold facts are considered and the motoring public realizes that transportation is costing just about as much, if not more than war itself in numbers killed and maimed, there will be a greater appreciation and less disregard for speed limits and the laws designed to pro mote safety on the highways. y; t - Love Flames In The Kentucky Hills! * at •(•mental as mountains wh' family figKts family bitter feud I A powerful picture made more com* pelting by natural color! m Adolph Zukor presents SIDNEY rw MacMURRRY 4fa*tM1/ FONDR in " THE TUMI OP THE LONESOME PINE) with Fred Stone, Nigel Bruce, Beulah Bondi, / J / Robert Barrat, Spanky McFarland, Fussy l/v/fy/ Knight • Actually filmed outdoors in Techni* f JO^ ** ® color • Directed by Henry Hathaway • A Walter Wanger Productions A Paramount Picture Sunday, September 16 th - TRIO THEATRE - © Roberson vi lie.

Much Wilt Found In Sweet Potato Fields A large amount of wilt is being found in sweet potato fields this year, says Dr. Landis Bennett, in charge of seed certification at State College and secretary of the N. C. Crop In vestment Association. Wilt occurs in the sweet potato seed stocks. It can also be produced by planting potatoes in soil that is infected with wilt. This wilt has been known to live over for 10 to 15 years in the soil. Disease-free seed planted in disease-free soil is the answer to this problem, says Howard Garriss, Extension plant pathologist at State College. This fall Dr. Bennett will examine certified stocks in storage for any signs of black rat, scurf, soft rot, and other such diseases. Black rot gives the potato a bitter taste. Garriss rec ommends seed treatment and rota tion of soils. For scurf, treat seed and don’t use any stable manure in the fertiliza tion of the crop. For soft rot, clean and disinfect the sweet potato curing house and the storage house. Handle potatoes care fully so as not to skin them. Cure as quickly as possible. J. Y. Lassiter, Extension horticul turist, and Hazel Meachanv, market • ing specialist, say that as competition becomes keener in the sweet potato markets, growers must be more care ful in growing the right kind of po tatoes; properly grade, cure, and store them; and reduce production costs.
