RUMoU War hysteria some times spreads silly rumors. There is one circulating around Rahigh now about the nurses which were on Bataan when it wag taken over by the Japs. The rumor came straight from Washington last week that 75 nurses have just been returned to this country from a Jap prison camp. They are now at a hospital in the vicinity of Des Moines, Iowa. The story has it that their hands were all ampu tated at the wrist. This tale was brought down from Washington by a stenographer there who had a good friend who is a WAC, and this WAC "got it straight." And so it goes . CONTRAST A comparison be tween the Jackson Day Dinner held here a few weeks ago and the re cent teachers' convention is inter esting. It is generally conceded that the McDonald forcts were conspicuous by their absence at the Jackson affair. Joe Blythe, Mecklenburg senator, and good friend of Cher ry's, was in charge of the event and it's a fact that everything was Cherry, whether Blythe intended it that way or not. At the teachers' conclave it was apparent that about 70 per cent of those present were McDonald votes. Now you have the contrast. Now who will control the show come primary time? Offhand, this seems a rather fair and pertinent question to raise at this time. Will the teachers be out on primary day hauling in voters for Dr. McDon ald or will they be working with their lesson plans for the following Monday? The teachers were terribly again st Clyde R. Hoey, in his race for governor. But they did not fair badly under his administration. Free textbooks were provided for the elementary children and num- Cold Frames Aid In Growing Plants For Victory Garden Earliness is of very great impor- I tance with a number of transplant ed crops like tomatoes, p:ppers. lettuce and cabbage. Considerable time can often be gained by start ing the plants in the house, using a window box. The window box can sometimes be supplemented by the use of a small coldframe. By the combination of the window box and the coldframe all of the early plants required for planting in the garden can be grown and ready , to set out by the time the weather is warm enougn. II the gardener i is compelled to wait until the plants I can be grown outdoors much valu able time will be lost in getting the crops ready for use. A box or tray in which to start early seedlings should be about 3 inches deep and of the right size to fit into a south window of the living room or kitchen. Any good, light soil will do for starting the plants, but it should be sifted and enough old-rotted manure mixed with it to make it hold moisture and be rich enough to insure a good growth. The seeds may be sown erous other improvements in edu cation were provided. This cannot be successfully refuted. The biggest advance made by education in the past 10 years was the addition of the ninth month. Well, who wrote the bill and whose name does it bear? John Umstead, brother of Rill Umstead, Cherry's manager, and representative from Orange county, wrote the bill and introduced it on the first day of the legislature last year. It be came known as the Umstead Bill. Nobody has a corner on good wishes for education in North Caro lina. Cherry's camp says it can show as many ardent supporters for education in its flock as Mc Donald's forces can present on their side, for Cherry backers also brought the eighth month over 10 years ago. Of course, education has never had a better friend than Dr. Ralph McDonald. But it takes more than mere friendship and good wishes to effect real progress in educa tion in North Carolina. Sister and Brother In the Service SYMPHONY If at any time you get an opportunity to hear the North Carolina Symphony Orches tra, don't miss it. Mrs. J. M. Broughton is of the opinion that it is one of the best in the nation. You really ought to try to get it somewhere in your setion of the country. MR. AND MRS. LESLIE L. MOODY, of Waynesville, have a daughter and a son in the service. The former is Mrs. Hilda Moody Leatherwood, yeoman third class, wife of Staff Sgt. Leonard L. I.eath erwood, who has been overseas for nearly two years. Yeoman Leath erwood is now on duty in Washington, 1). C. After she entered the WAVES she was sent to Hunter College, New York, for t raining and from there to Cedar Falls, Iowa, and then to her present post. At the time she entered the service in November, 1943, she was a senior clerk in the War Department in Washington, prior to which she had been secretary to the Haywood County Home Demonstration Agent here. Leslie L. Moody, Jr., seaman second class, entered the service n September 23, 1943. He took his boot training at Bainbi idge. Md., and from there was sent to the Naval Training base at Norfolk, where he is now stationed. Seaman Moody is a gunner on a destroyer. in rows, and they should be covered , just deep enough to insure the proper amount of moisture to make them germinate. Care must be taken that the little seedlings are not overwatered, as an excess of water will often cause the appear ance of a disease known as "damp ing off" which causes the plants to rot off at the surface of the ground. Careful watering and plenty of air and sunshine will ward off this disease. When the plants have formed about one leaf in addition to their two seed leaves they should be transplanted to other boxes of soil or to the coldframe where they will have more room to spread out and develop plenty of roots. Coldframes are constructed like hotbeds, except that no manure or other heating material is used. Coldframes consisting of a frame work of boards from 18 to 24 inches in height at the back or north side, and 8 to 12 inches at the front or south side, are generally built di rectly on top of the ground. They are covered with ordinary hotbed sash, but cotton cloth may be sub stituted for the sash. In the South Arrives In England Hats off 3 1 What Is the Charles A. Coffin Foundation? THE PURPOSE of the Chrlcs A. Coffin Foundation is to encounrge and reward distinguished achievement in the electrical field by "prizes to employees; by recognition to light ing, power, and railway companies for improve ment in service to the public; by fellowships to deserving graduate students; and by the grant of funds for research work at technical schools and colleges." Establishment of the awards was announced twenty-two years ago in a statement issued by President Swope and dated December a, loll: "On hUj t6, t)22, Charks A. Coffin in hi$ 7& year retired from ike active leader ship of the General Electric Company. Mr. Coffin hat teen identified with the development of the electrical industry since 1882. He toot the founder and creator of the General Electric Company, of which he has teen the in-, spiration and leader for thirty years.

Coffin Foundation confers a special citation for distinguished wartime achievement on the ELECTRIC LIGHT and POWER INDUSTRY "Faced with unprecedented demands, the Electric Light and Power Industry has met every war-production requirement without delay and without impairment of its peacetime services to the public. This achievement merits the appreciation not only of American industry but of the entire nation. " FROM THE CITATION THIS CITATION is richly merited for here is a branch of industry that has done 'a remarkable war job that has not been generally recognized. If electric power should fail, or if it be too little or too late, the disastrous effects would startle all America. Vital machines would be motionless. Millions of homes would be cold and an eerie blackout would descend over the land. . 1 But, electricity has not failed. Rather, in 1943 twice as much power was produced as in the year before the warw',th the minimum of new facilities and despite large losses of skilled employees to the Armed Services. In the words of J. A. Krug, Director, Office of War Utilities of W.P.B., "Power men public and private should be proud of the job that has been done in provid llf :ttsvM.f' Power has never been too little or too IoIr ' . ., . """We" of General Electric, who have built a large part of the electric equipment which generates, distributes, and uses the electric power of America, take pride m the way this equipment is standing up under the strain of "forced draft" wartime operation. , Many of the men and women responsible for this remarkable record are your neighbors the manager, or meter reader who lives across the street, the girl in the accounting department who is in your bridge club, the lineman with whom you bowled last night. A word of appreciation from you to them will lend added sig-j nificance to this well deserved citation. Gtneral Electric' Company, Schenectady, New York., 1 GENERAL ELECTRIC Khar Tfc M AM oM MmmM M ?

To the Voters ot North Carolina: TliE candidacy of Honorable Cameron Morrison lot the nomina tion for United States Senator in the Democratic primary on May '-'7, lil-U, affords the Democratic party of North Carolina an opportunity to nominate for that high office a slaU-sman of the highest order. And now as never before we mvd such a man. 7'tc ),ro)U .1 .V01 (A Carolina know Camsrun Morrigon. Hi life mm mcii i.iic of hrilluitit , di'fotrd. unnnltinh gervirr to the State and her ;...... He htm filled the office of SUUe Senator, Governor, United Stolen Senator and Member of the lover house of Congreti, and in each rdKicif; hon made a record of which North Carolina i jimtly )rond. Who can forget the progress made by North Carolina while hi' was governor, 111 121 -I'J'J.S? We romcmbor how he inaugurated and carried forward during his administration a great program of progress and began an era of prosperity that continued during the great depression and on down to the present day. Space does not permit a recital of the many notable achievements of his ad ministration. A few of them may be recalled. Under him the great State highway system was built, not by political henchmen or by those who worked for political gain, but by a commission selected by him from among the best anil ablest business men that could be found in North Carolina, regardless of their political affiliation, who spent the millions appropriated for the purpose without extravagance or the misappropriation of a penny a record probably without parallel in any state or country anywhere at any time. His contrdiutioiis to the State' educational system were notable. Greatly increased apjrrojrriation were made to the University, tho Woman's College at Grensboro, State College at Raleigh, Teacher Training Schools at Greensboro, Fayetteville, Winston-Salem, and other Stnte educational institutions. The whole school system, from the primary schools to the University, was standardized and 8yn tematized, ami greatly improved in effioutnry and effectiveness. During his administration the charitable institutions were improved, enlarged and brought up to date, so as to more ade quately meet the needs of the people of North Carolina. In 1!),'U Mr. Morrison was appointed to till the vacancy in the United SUites Senate caused bv the death of Senator Overman. In that great legislative body his ability waa soon recognized. He was assigned to some of its most Important committees, among others, the Appropriations Committer and the Banking and Cur rency Committee, where he helped to shape some of the most beneficial legislation of the period, including the Home Loan Hank Hill, which brought about the Home Owners Loan ( orpora Hon, that saved so many homes of tho people from foreclosure and loss, and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act, that saved thousands of businesses, large and small, from bankruptcy and destruction, and stabilized businesses throughout the country. In 11112 the voters o f the Tenth Congressional District of North Carolina elected Mr. Morrison a member of Congress. By virtue of his forceful personality and his known record an a statesman he immediately took rank as one of the dominant figures in that body. Ho was appointed to membership on the Naval Affairs Committee where he has rendered signal service in mat ters relating to the prosecution of the war. However, his activities have not been limited to the work of that committee. Me nas taken part in the consideration of and debate upon all important matters that have been before ( (ingress, and it is a well-Known fact that hp is heard on anv measure he sees fit to discuss with a degree of attention rarely accorded a new member. While he was Governor, Mr. Morrison's policUs as between camtal and labor were impartial. He was fair to both. The same is true of his record in the United State Senate and as a member of the lower house of Congress. Mr. Momson u wot only ante; he to irraetical, forceful and effective. All his life he has been a deep student, especially of govern rnent, finances, business and agriculture, and his wide knowledge combined with practical experience, enables him to aeeompUsn results. In Congress he has shown that he is able to debate force fully and effectively and from a practical standpoint any in portant questions that come up. Having known hardships himself, he has always been inter ested in social welfare, and has sought to improve the conditions and protect the rights of those who labor; yet, realizing that our happiness and prosperity depend upon both labor and capital, he has never been unfair to either. Mr, Morrison is a lawyer by profession, but since his retire ment from the office of Governor in 1925 he has engaged in farm ing. He has developed in Mecklenburg County one of the finest farms in the country. He has employed graduates of State Cflllege to direct his operations along scientific lines. He has practiced sou conservation, rotation of crops and other approved methods. His farm animals are of purebred stock, and have been used to improve the breeds of animals in this and other states. He has set an example in modem farming that has been of untold benefit to the farmers of North Carolina. Mr. Morrison's devotion to the Democratic party has been a passion, yet his partizenshp has never led him to espouse a cause or promote a measure that he did not believe to be for the common good. We are asking the voters of North Carolina to support Mr. Morrison for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator, not only because he is a great Democrat, but because we believe his recognized qualifications and his ripe experience will assure his election and will give our State and the nation a wise, true and faithful servant in the critical times that lie ahead.
