Tli rci'ori on record as favoring plac in several states. The organization is out to kill all price . controls, declaring controls “have no place in a coordinated attack on the inflation prob lem.” One of the convention’s last acts was to di rect a blast at labor or that group of work ers who form the largest market for farm produce in this country. A final report on the convention is not available .just now, the preliminary reports seem to indicate that the organization has deserted tile millions ol little dirt farmers d ovw into <1 strange camp. Admittedly being on the losing side in the recent national election labor has stated its ’ace ..declaring that it will not stand idle while its hard-earned gains are attacked. Instead of taking the initiative, agriculture has chosen to take a back seat and hold out its hand to those who have placed nothing but debt and rocks there in past years. II <n it lit A I ruzzh■ The old charge that Chiang Kai-shek was sold down the river has been worn to a fraz zle. And every time we hear or see the charge, we can see General Stilwell plead ing with Chiang Kai-shek. We can see Kai shek's brother-in-law rolling in luxuries an nexed at the expense of his fellow country men and American taxpayers. Possibly it was the obstinate record that Kai-shek entered in the books back yonder that caused Washington to hesitate to turn to him as an effective force. Late reports 1 coming from Formosa tell the same old story: "Chiang Kai-shek has the men, but he needs equipment and money.” Kai-shek told that same story to General Stilwell hundreds of times, and according to the General's own letters, most of the fighting done against Japan in World War II was not done by Kai-shek's forces in China. And it is a contemptible charge tp accuse anyone in this country, be he Democrat or Republican, civilian or military man, with turning China over to the Communists. Chiang Kai-shek paved the road foi Com munism when he allowed corruption to strangle the people to death. The earth has grown old with its burden of care. But at Christmas it always is young.

To my mind, it is a most valu able one. It places good litera : lure within easy reach of all who lare interested and without charge This fact should bo advertised i more extensively than heretofoje so that every one should know! and have an opportunity to avail themselves of its benefits.

Says Child Labor Being Exploited The National Child Labor Committee reported recently that more than 100,000 children be I tween fourteen and fifteen years of age are out of school and em ployed. Another 003,000, in the sixteen 'end seventeen year old group, have cut short their I schooling for employment. The Committee warned that excessive work by school children, must ! be brought under stricter regula tion if exploitation of child labor is to be checked. By excessive work, the Com mittee means work which re quires more than off-school hour 1 time and work which requires j children to quit school altogether. The Committee's study shows that about ten percent of 33,000 I establishments investigated by the Federal Wage-Horn Division last year were employing minors in violation of the Federal Child j [ Labor Law The industries which seem to I contain the largest percentage of j violations were the logging and j .agricultural industries. The high- i esl percentage of under-age chil- j ' dren found working were in log : King operations, in which the legal minimum age is If! years. \ The legal age minimum in rhe j 1 agricultural field is US years and there are many indications that; • his law is widely violated. The Committee's report clung j j ed that the “worst child labor abuses occur in agriculture, with the children' of migrant workers suffering most of all." Farm ac cidents, i! is said, are also often i ! caused by the immaturity of children operating heavy mas ! chinerv As- an example, the ' Committee listed fifteen child! deaths in Minnesota, Iowa. I nr) i - j ana, Michigan and Wisconsin in j the last harvesting season all involving farm machinery and children. * The Committee believes one >1 the reason violations are so wide spread is the inadequacy of in spection staffs provided for Ihe enforcement of state laws. Il in dicates that the states must clean up this situation, for the most part, if substantial progress is lo i be made, il was pointed out. Business Picking I j Up A3 Post Office | Simla Claus' assistants, the post office emloyos, arc no busier tit's vrai than they were in 1951 an indication that the volume of Christmas mail will be about the same this year as last. Three temporary carriers and one extra clerk have been placed on duty to help out as the mailed matter mounts for Christmas. Other help will not he necessary, W. E Dunn, postmaster pointed out because two employes who have been in service have recently returned to duty. The Williamston postmaster ex plained that packages go a out ol town .mould have been 'mailed by Monday to assure delivery and that local packages should be in the mail no later than December 21. Air parcel post is recommend ed lor gifts mailed out of town it the deadline was not met. To help procrastinating citizens with theii belated mailing, the post office windows will be kept open all day Saturday, December 20 instead of closing at noon, Mi. Dunn reported tic added that no other special..seryjees^re jdan-. tied during the Christmas rush. "You can help expedite ,r.your ! i ‘ e r vi re. . -i.-i it , . ■ n .. .. 1 .irate those for local delivery from those for out-of-town delivery," Mr. Dunn said. 'Arranging them so the addresses all face one way is another tremendous time-sav er." He added that special labels leading "All for Local Delivery" and "All for Out of Town Deliv ery" are available at tin post of fice and may be placed on top of ••aeh bundle to indicate whether or not local delivery is involved j Mail addressed to Williamston ru , ra! routes is for local delivery, h 1 {explained ! Jaycees Making Ready For Party S;inta Claus has set up at) ex tension division in Williamstnn with the Jaycees as his field rep resentatives. Assuming responsibility for many Christmas activities, mem bers of the civic organization have been busy for a month with back ground work on »hoir annual pro gram which includes a party for Martin County children. Chief M ingum, Worth Mobley, and Edgar Gurganus are elves ii;-. chief of the program that t caches its climax Ft icfcflPWWP d the party at the Woman’s Club for underprivileged children. A to\ collections committee headed by Cecil Li I ley and John Miller aided by Billy Biggs, Cecil Batts, James Bulluck, Ed Row land, James Vann, Buddy Weir, Clarence Forbes, and J. C. Col train has gathered broken and discarded toys to be repaired for distribution at the children’s par ty. Following the toy collection) drives, a repair and assembly committee headed by Harvey) Baggett and Pete Rogers has been working each night in San ta's special workroom set up in the municipal water plant to make necessary repairs, prepare, wrap I and label packages. They also) will provide Bonder and Blitzen service for the packages to the party scene, the Woman’s Club i building, on the night of the . party. Others on this committee are James Wellons, Bernard Harrison, I Benny Goodwin, Bruce Roebuck, | Wheeler M. Manning, Blue Man-j rung, Bill Urquahart, Exum Ward and Frank Weaver. I Jack Sullivan, J D. Baidiee j and A1 Sweatt, the treat commit-1 teemen, arc perparing for the) party and have arranged for all ! refreshments. Santa's personal appearance at 1 the party as well as the music and games will be under the di- | rection of Pete Austin, Edgar) Gurganus, and Hoke Roberson, while decorations will be planned and arranged by Tim Malone, Ban Peele and George Corey. Ernest Mears and John H. Gur ganus are helping Santa check his list of children and are in charge of transportation to and) from the party. Dick Bender and Edgar Gur- j gimus are in charge of the spread - ll^ good-word committee and have kept club and committee members as Well as the public He urged patrorfs to use twine and tie their packages of Christ mas cards both ways. Appealing for help in guardfng against unnecessary waste of time ind money, the postmaster said, “May I urge you to be sure every piece of your mail is udrir< >,sed completely with street and num ber, post office box number, or an al route and box number. Also, i vour complete return address is most important." As for the rest welcomed by mail-weary employes, Mr. Dunn reported the post of fire will be closed*on Christmas day but that lie is waiting for word from Wash ington in regard to any further holiday. Farm Lubricants Causing Disease Crankcase oil. tractor grease and other farm lubi icant.s can cause “X” disease in cattle, rec- j ent experiments have demon- j strafed. Research at the University of j Tennessee has revealed that ] chlorinated naphthalenes are one j source of the disease. The naph- j thaienes are added to lubricants' to improve theii ! art- i.Myir,..,' qualities. A report in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical As sociation regarding the experi known as hyperkeratosis, was produced by chlorinated crankcase oil to the back of a cow. As a result, farmers were cau tioned against using crankcase oil to kill lice and mange on hogs and cattle. Tractors, combines and other farm equipment using lub ricants should be stored where they are inaccessible to cattle, the report said. Oil drippings, grease cans and lubricant buckets also provide a possible source of the disease if precautions are not taken, the re port added. Veterinary medical authorities said hyperkeratosis is a slow, chronic disease marked by a wat ery discharge from the eyes and a discharge from the nostrils. Marked drooling and scours also may appear. The animal gradu ally wastes away and dies. As the disease progresses, parts of the cow’s skin become hard and dry and wrinkles develop along the sides of the neck and withers. The iips and tongue may show wartlike growths. Research veterinarians.also said the disease has been caused by j certain wood preservatives. Egg Production Is Higher This Year —$— Egg production on North Cm olinu farms this year has been greater to date than it was during the same period last year, and production last month showed an increase of a million eggs over November, 1951. The State-Federal Crop Re porting Service says that there were 84 million eggs produced in j the State during last month as compared with 83 million eggs in November of 1951 The figure represents u decrease from the 88 million eggs produced in Oct ober, 1952. For the year (January through November) there were 1.2 million eggs produced this year as compared with 1.1 million ' during the same period of 1951. The Crop Service attributed the increase in November to higher C ction per 100 layers. It i pointed out that there were 8. 898.000 layers on hand in Nov- ■ ember 1951 compared with only 8.809.000 on hand last month but i added that the number of 'ggs I per 100 layers was 954 last month ! compared with 938 last November. Egg production for the United States at 4.5 billion in November followed the same trends as that informed on ■their Christmas ae tivities. for North Carolina and compares with 4.4 billion eggs produced in October of this year and 4.3 bil lion produced in November 1951. Because of rapid picking and ginning, cotton is turning out much better than expected. Growers of Maryland, renrssyi-< vania Seedleaf, and cigar filler and binder tobaccos will not re ceive price supports on their 1952 crops because quotas were disap proved in the referenda held in 1951.
