These tours which were inaugurated a couple of years before the war proved of great benefit to the farmers and they serve more than one purpose. They are not only a means of observing farm methods used by others, but are also a vacation that the farm er might not otherwise take, which will be good for him and his family.

Jl'LY 2 !. HI If, In Character The Federal Government, through the Farm Security Administration, which experi mented somewhat elaborately with a home stead project known as Penderlea at Uurgaw. N. C. undertook, among many other things, to (.iterate a hosiery mill in connection with the enterprise. It now is announced that, v.fter having lost $230,043 in the operation of 'his mill, it has sold the plant. This unhappy experience is just about what was to be expected. Government makes a sorry manager of business and industrial enterprises which it ventures to create and operate. That is the usual case. Here and there may be a rare exception. Incidents of this kind, however, are so illustrative of the Government's bungling of private affairs that the American people may well conclude that it will be a tragic day, should it ever come, if the Federal Govern ment should take over, own, and operate bus iness and industry in this country. The Charlotte Observer. ' - THE FIFTH FREEDOM The Band Starts Up Again Like many other things the war took its toll from the high school band. A number of the older and better trained boys left school before they graduated and the ranks of the band began to thin soon after Pearl Harbor of some of its talent that might have remained longer. Now the students are to be organized and work begun so that the group will be ready to take their part in the annual Labor Day parade and program which is staged at Can ton. They will also be in good practice to add their always welcome part to the football season. Here's luck to you, Mr. Isley, in get ting them in good trim for the coming events, for our band is one of our community's great est assets. .j.ujiifron..ni r :-i j VOICE OF THE PEOPLE How do you think is the best way to s about breaking a iove affair?

HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN Bounty and Beef Raising We can't think as pessimistically about the decision of the Commodity Credit Corpo ration to discontinue beef cattle production payments on June 30 as Lenoir Gwyn, state agriculture department marketing specialist seems to believe. He has just said that the discontinuance of this subsidy would be an important factor in discouraging the production of beef cattle in North Carolina. We will never believe that sensible Tar Heel farmers will be deterred from the intelligent and thrifty practice of growing beef cattle by the matter of withholding some 50 cents a hundred royalty on their production. This amounts to practically nothing when compared with the total revenue to be de rived from raising beef cattle, not only in the meat that is marketed but also in the fertility that comes to the soil. Tar Heel farmers do not have to be paid to use common sense. Shelby Star. We almost lost our faith in people last week.

Buying What You Need Now that price controls have had all their teeth pulled and our system of free economy is back out on its own, what is the United States headed for? This is, comparatively, a time of prosperity. There is a larger demand for goods than there is supply, and enough money in circula tion to keep prices high. No one denies that everything is high, wages as well as prices, and there is little prospect that there will not be further increases in the price of goods before production begins flooding all markets and brings the promised stability. Mean while, when you buy your butter, your lum ber, or your new automobile, note that your cost of living is rising. The war brought its shortages and high wages that built up a savings reserve among all segments of the citizenship. Now that production has passed its early outbreak of post-war strikes and is running into high with little price control, many of the items that have been so dear in the past are now "in stock." But the prospective buyer who has wanted so many things and has saved money these past years to enjoy them might think of something else other than his desire to pos sess when he finds himself next in line to buy. He might think of the future. He .might think that he is gambling every time he dips into the reserve; gambling that he is taking out of what he has more than he is getting in return, and taking a chance that the prosperity bubble will burst in a few years and find himself stranded in a depres sion with only second-rate possessions to carry him through. He might remember the adage: "When prices are high, sell; when prices are low, buy." Only if the American public will discipline themselves to demand "getting their money's worth" on what they spend, and buying only what they need, can the present rising costs be kept from spiraling into dangerous infla tion, and the free economy that we have cherished be preserved. We Need Marked Streets Have you tried to direct a stranger to a given point in Waynesville or Hazel wood recently? Taking for granted that the stranger you are trying to direct is a total stranger in the community, you will find yourself groping in the dark trying to find ways and means of giving them instruction. There is only one solution to the problem, and that is for all the streets in both Waynes ville and Ilazelwood to be marked with per manent markers and not just "chalked" on the side of the curb for a tire to rub off the next day. Next to marking the streets with durable overhead signs, would be numbering all houses. We realize this is a big job, but the com munity has outgrown the days when citizens can remember where everyone lives. The pop ulation is increasing so rapidly and so many changes being made by constant maving, that properly marked streets and numbers on houses are our only reasonable solution. Several months ago John Taylor drew a street map of both Hazelwood and Waynes ville, and the Chamber of Commerce had 5,000 copies made. Much time and effort was spent in making the map 'correct in every detail, and this could be used to start the work, instead of having to "wait until we can get a map made" as one official who felt indif ferent to the plan recently stated. This newspaper is of'thefirm opinion that there is no reasonable excuse or cause for delaying the matter. We would hear a motor coming and we would both look hopeful. Trucks went lumbering by. Cars of every description sped on, with never a glance from their owners, who ignored our trouble. The sun was sinking lower. The editor, we knew, was in his office, waiting for his car to go home. It finally dawned on us that Good Samari tans have stopped traveling the highways. After an argument over who was to walk down the road to a nearby house, we won out, but when we arrived the garage was empty, and not a sound in the house. Just as we were retracing our step.s a car came in sight . . . Mr. and Mrs. Noland Pless and their two small sons . . . Noland came along with his tools and in no time he had us ready to travel And our faith in human nature completely restored. He gave us help like it was a pleasure a kind ot pre-war graciousness that is about to go out of fashion. We read with interest an inter view that Louis Graves, editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly, had with the eminent botanist, Dr. W. C Coker, of the University on the subject of honeysuckle.

I remember, I remember, when butter golilen-sweol Would ramble o'er the pancakes we were privileged to eat. They didn't give us margarine or mai tnalade. and say "The grocer says the butter man won't be around today." I remember, I remember, in water-melon time We used to buy a blimp-sized ball, and buy it for it dime. To get one half as big today the missus hocks her rings To find the pulp not fit to eat, in what her money brings. I remember, I remember, when Pa could buy a shirt (A white one, if he wanted to!) and no one would lie lmrl. But now he stands in line a day and sees the last one sold To some one twenty feet away Pa's language can't lie told. I remember, I remember, in times pre-OPA, No ceiling price or stealing price disturbed us night or day. The slaughterhouses bought the steers and dressed l,licm tip for meat That we could buy in butcher shops and take it home to oat . I remember, I remember, the days of auld lang syne When one could spend full half of one's time outside a grocery line; When one could go and quickly buy a loaf of baker's bread Nor stand and gaze an hour upon a row of carts ahead. I remember, I remember, when Yankee folk were free To work without a lot of guys to stand around and see How much they got and make them quit if it was not enough To please the walking delegates who sternly did their stuff.
