pose progress and a change in living
conditions which naturally come with
inventions and greater enlighten

and old are living too much in automo
biles and not enough in the home. We
must get back to the hearthstone and
there spend more time in teaching
our children those old virtues which
are so essential to the building of
character, HONESTY, MORALITY.
SOBRIETY, INDUSTRY AND GOD

which made George Washington the
"Father of his country." He com

Revolution, BUT MARY WASHING

When Henry Clay lay dying his pas

High Meat Prices
Due For Decline
Housewives who have been howl
ing about the high cost of meat had
the- word of government experts this
week that prices had reached a peak
and declines would follow shortly.
Charts on retail meat prices at the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
showed they had touched seven-year
highs recentlyespecially for tender
juicy steaks and savory pork chops.
The economists said high prices
were caused by droughts and business
recovery.
The American Federation of Labor,
stating living costs in July were' 4.3
per cent higher than during the same
month last year declared workers will
be' forced to a lower living standard
this fall unless their pay checks' are
at least 5 per cent larger than in lD.'SU.
PEACH CROP IN N. C.
WAS 921 CARLOADS
New Yorkers have consumed more
than half of the 921 cars of peaches
shipped from North Carolina through
August 9, Harry T. Westcott, asso
ciate marketing specialist of the
North Carolina Department of Agri
culture, announced.
"North Carolina growers have had
a decided advantage in the marketing
of their peaches this season in view
of the fact that Georgia had an ex
ceedingly small crop as compared with
previous years," the markets division
specialist add.
Car Plates To Change
Color To Black On Orange
North Carolina automobile license
plates next year will have black fig
ures on an orange background.
Motor vehicle officers announced
that tags made at Central prison al
ready were being shipped to district
sales offices,' where the plates will be
stored until they go on sale December
1.
To date this year, 547,954 tags
have been sold, compared with fi()ti,72li
last year. Total sales of 550.07:1 dur
ing 19.'i set an all-time high mark.

New Cruiser Launched;
Warship Is Honolulu
At the Brooklyn Navy Yard last
week the new light cruiser Honolulu,
first warship to be so named, slid
down the ways. As East River tugs
whistled salutes, Miss Helen Poindex
ter, daughter of Hawaii's governor,
smashed a bottle of champagne across
the ship's bow, saying, "I christen
you Honolulu. God bless you and keep
you safe."
