It has l.ved through the years by laboring for the best interests of the North Carolina ^coastland. It has been a medium through which attention has 'been called to our many advantages as well as the problems iof our people. It is not boasting to say that its friends consider it .as playing a large part m the accomplishment of things ■worth while. There has been great progress to come to the ■ North Carolina coastland in the past nine years, and a most effective aid to progress is a live newspaper single minded ■ta its purpose to serve its section. A newspaper can do much to promote the unity of its readers. It can keep constantly before them the most im portant things to work on. It can attract outsiders to develop ^Js advantages. A paper cannot please everybody all the time '■ «ny more than a teacher, a preacher, or a politician. But it ..can constantly keep alive important things; it can present a ..^mirror of the life and progress of the community and enable ■iit to see itself as others see it. We are thankful to those firms who have given us their . patronage. To them most of the credit for the accomplishments of the paper is due. We are thankful also to the readers and ‘ jBubscribers who are on the increase. The paper has reached a point in circulation and influence that deserves further effort and investment that it may do still more for its peo- \f0^ I - llvp?!? rw \ /iCToay ONTHE FARM FROHTj OUR DEMOCRACY- -by Mat t .

The mam 'problem in those war days is adequate labor. Bad luck dogs us occasionally. First a valued employee becomes ill and un able, to work. He is replaced 'by one who unfortunately meets , death by accidental drowning. But we hope to keep a stiff upper lip, find more help, and continue to make progress. In the days to come we envision a great coastal weekly news- paper, giving the home news of home folks. When the boys return from the war there will be great stories to tell of bexcism, of hardship, of noble sacrifice. We hope to be able ■ ^ to keep alive these memories, and to perpetuate the stories of the great deeds of our homefolks. eryone of the villagers had also resolved, “My bit will not be missed.” Too often right here in our owm to\vn and county we ob serve the attitude on the part of many, sometimes including prominent people, of “letting the other fellow carry the load.” Progress and growth does not come in that way. It takes co operation and work on the part of all. If no effort is made, nothing is accomplished. I Feed supplies have become a (limiting factor in egg and poultry production, and strict culling of flocks is an absolute necessity at this time, says Clifton Parrish, in charge of Extension poultry at State^ College. Egg production has expanded 49 per cent in the United States since pre-war years and other livestock has^ increased tremen dously. resulting in a feed short- ' age. The broiler production goal for 1944 was set at 84 per cent of I last year but thus far considerably more broilers than this have been produced. ' f •• WM)XJGHT0N for VICE-PRESIDENT (The Chapel Hill Weekly) Since the Civil War only one Southerner has become Vice- President of the United States: John Nance Garner of Texas. But one instance ■is enough to prove that the thing is not im- i, possible. If the Democrats chose Garner as their nominee in - 1932 and 1936, why should they not choose our North Caro- i liTw Governor, Joseph Melville Broughton, in 1944? By the measure of capacity—we are not speaking of what the politicians call “availability,” of advantages that might ^ attach to a man because of his wide acquaintance among ^members of Congress and other pubic men in Washington, but of intellect, education, and all-around potentialities for public service—'by that measure, certainly nobody could say that Broughton is not as well fitted for the post as Garner. His formal education has been augmented by wide reading jaid continued study; he has attained eminence in the legal profession; he speaks clearly and forcibly, for the most part with gravity but with enough humor to spice the message; . ffid he is a competent executive. Altogether, he is well quali- , #ied ■for high national office. j ^ere can be cited reasons in plenty why Broughton does . jw>t have a good chance for the nomination. But the proceed ings at a political convention do not always follow the pat- - lem laid out in advance by the persons who assume to be political experts. Often, as with the veteran sports experts who foretell the results of prizefights and football games, the event leaves these gentlemen looking rather foolish. NOW IS THE TI.ME TO START There are many great things to be done on the North Caro lina coast. Among them are more roads and bridges, long needed, delayed by the war but pledged publicly by present officials and those will later take office. We do not want to wait until later to begin working for these improvements. We should begin now, so the ground work will be laid when means are found to finance and build them. Governor-Nominate Cherry has pledged his influence to ward building a road to Hatteras. This should be one of our very first projects, for the people in this area are in great est need of road improvements. Theirs is a section that is des tined for great things. He has also pledged his support for bridges over Alligator River and Croatan Sound. We should also work hard for these before other sections more active and perhaps influential, by greater efforts attract support and influence ahead of us. Another road badly needed is one to conect Corolla in Currituck with Dare County. Let us all get busy now and put our shoulders to the wheel for these great things. United we will stand; divided we wil rail. The problem now is one of sup- ! pl.v, proper distribution, and: conservation of the available feed on hand and in prospect. i Parrish points out that the sit uation caUs for continuous cull ing of poultry flocks so as to re move all low-producing -hens, broody hens, overly fat hens, hens that are beginning to moult, and all roosters that are not used in breeding, A balance must be maintained between production and available ! feed supplies. In addition to con tinuous culling, an adjustment in broiler production is also need ed. Both of these programs will result in a saving of feed and will help to achieve the feed balance. The records clearly indicate that there are more than enough hens on American farms to pro duce the eggs needed.

THE WAR GOES WELL FOR ALLIES The fighting on all fronts of this global war shows United Nations forces going steadily forward. American troops were within two and one half miles of St. Lo and their advance there was imperilling the German western flank in Nor mandy early this week, and the Russians were advancing eastward toward the Prussian frontier at a rapid pace. Am erican forces in the Pacific were attacking Guam with naval and air forces indicating that they might invade that island to protect their flank on newly-conquered Saipan, adminis trative seat of the Marianas. But despite the continued successes of United Nations men of war which prompted Prime Minister Winston Church ill of Great Britain to predict that Germany might be de feated this year, Americans are cautioned by their Supreme Commander on the Western front against too-rosy optimism on the part of the Allies. Gen.’ Dwight D. Eisenhower stated that long and bitter figthing must be expected around the European battle perimeter. However, he expressed confi dence in a United Nations victory. In his goings-around in the last two or three years, at Gov ernors’ Conferences and at other gatherings. Governor Broughton has won the liking and respect of important men ■ in the Democratic national counsels. Among these are men who will wield great influence among the delegates m Chica go next week, and if the contest for the Vice-Presidential nom ination becomes a free-for-all, with the convention deadlock ed in ballot after ballot, with the hot and weary delegates in -the mood to accept a “compromise candidate” and get the business over with—in a situation like that the good opinion *that these leaders have formed of Broughton may tip the scales and make him the winner. We earnestly hope that, by some turn or other, he will get the nomination. ■ PROGRESS COMES FROM COOPERATION s R1-' [r/j?v • The progress of a community depends on the cooperation Tof every cit.zen. Everyone must pitch in behind comjietent r^^^^Cle'aders and work if there is to be growth and advancement. ^ Many communities remain small and backward because everyone depends on everyone else, and good leadership is tiot accepted and supported. '"The following story entitled “Water Is Not Wane” told at a ■ Botary meeting in England is a good illustration of what we mean: Many years ago a medieval village in France decided to ilhoid a feast. To insure its success a huge cask was built, into | Vwhich all participating were asked to pour a bottle of wine. pp%«If I fill my bottle with water,” thought one, “and empty it the barrel with the others, it will not be noticed.” The day arrived and when all the villagers had assembled, fithe great cask w’as tapped, but only water flowed forth. Ev- HATS OFF TO THE JACKSON NEWS Last week’s edition of the Jackson News entitled “North- ampton-At-War” edition, is a credit to Northampton County and the publishers, Parker Brothers, of Ahoskie. It was a thick 44 page paper and contained beween 325 and 350 pic tures of Jackson and Northampton men who are serving in the armed forces. It is a big job getting out the usual run of papers every week, but to get oui such an/edition as the one put out by the Roanoke-Chowan publishers take much more effort. They are to be congratulated on producing such an edition in times when help is so scarce. We take our hats off to them. gests that growers examine their fields closely. Some growers of ten think that the trouble is due; to dry weather. He recommends that from 20 to 35 pounds of granulated borax per acre be applied and that it be distributed uniformily so as not to get too much in one place, which may cause damage to the crop. A good method for getting uni form distribution is to mix the borax with sand, lime, or fertiliz er and put it in with a fertilizer! drill. A cyclone seeder can be us- j ed in putting out the straight ma terial. I The borax can be applied any time during the year but the sooner the boron deficiency Is corrected the greater will be the yields and the more vigorous the plants. Stands can be maintained! for a much longer period of time if the boron deficiency is correct ed. It is not necessary to apply the boron every year. The crop should be checked from time to time and, when the deficiency symptoms appear, borax may be added to the soil. Recently one grower applied 300 pounds of bor ax per acre, about ten times too much, and ruined his field of al falfa. siq)pllM cm UmltDdl Subsolb* noir to mak* «»• ol gaWaq twnspapt emd knroiit* mogozinM — btnvdn pgio«| — bofer* popw thortagM 164 BlfilSSIES $9 FOR ONLY O' OUR LUCKY SEVEN OFFER 50 ALL SEVEN FOR ONLY WANCHESE PERSONALS VINE TUKNEB SAVES LABOR ON YAM CROP About seven-eighths of the la comes to them, turning the vines at the same time with just one trip througft tne middle.
