There' has been a nutireabte hack-turning
;on the masses of “little" State employees,
/■but the 1951 General Assembly has played
tin part of a contortionist in loaning over
•backwards when it came to individuals.
• There was $555 Hamilton handout, and
more recently Senat.oi t'arruthers came for
eword with a proposal 1o increase 11 f?■ salaries
iif the Council of State The senator would
add $4,580 to the attorney general’s $10,080
salarv and increase the pay of the members
of the Council of State from $9,000 to $12,000,
We do not sa\ that Mr McMullan isn’t
’ wort $14,400 annually or more, and if lie is
worth that much then the State employees
ore worth a ere.it deal more than they are
receiving.
Monev is hard to find, but it is indeed
certain that it could bt found much easic r
by the Legislature than the underpaid State
.workers are finding a way to keep body and
soul together

- President Truman has nudged Congress
again about sending wheat, to India, his
earlie r request for two million tons having
been caught in the legislative maze for more
* than three months now.
■tg- -
The Senate has approved the grant, but
the rules committee in the House has proved
a stumbling block.
Meanwhile, the food situation in India
grows worse. A combination of drought,
floods, and locusts has destroyed food crops
in virtually all parts of the country. Real
famine will sweep India between now and
next fall. Observers in southern India re
port families are already mixing sawdust
with their millet, in a pathetic attempt to
avert starvation.
The aid we can give India will provide
no lunge-range answer to tier food problem.
The two million ton wheat grant is strictly
an emergency measure. But with Congress
dilly-dallying, the peak of the emergenev
may be reached before we provide any ef
fective assistance. Des Moines Register
lleloic The Average
Martin County, generally holding to a
point about half way in many fields among
the 100 counties in the State, can well be
proud of its low rating in the number of per
sons killed on the highways and streets
within its borders during the past year.
Only twenty-seven counties had fewer
highway-street fatalities. Good fortune smil
ed on our motorists, for the record shows
more of them were involved in more vehicle
aeidents last year than in any other period.
The curernt year is more than one-fourth
gone, and there hasn't her. a highway fatal
ity in the county. Let’s not gamble with fate, j
We can’t maintain the wreck pace without I
running into death, sooner or later.
Let’s cut down our speed a little more.
Let’s keep our vehicles in good repair. Let's \
remember the other fellow is entitled to hall
the road. Let’s dim our lights for the ap
proaching motorist at night. Let’s not forget
that a little courtesy on our part could save j
lives, including our own.

Highway accidents cost North Carolinians
rip,lit at sixty-four million dollars last year.
Few. it any, businesses in the State deal in
such large figures. It's big business and, at
the same time, bad business.
Despite' the astounding loss in dollars, not
In mention human life and limb involved.
North Carolina's 19M General Assembly
passed it by virtually unnoticed. Maybe, the
proposed . remedies were out of order, but
it is well remembered that those who oppos
ed the proposed remedies offered none ot
their own. Their stand is tantamount to ap
proval of the }f>C>4 million carnage.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
