The Automatic Machine Is Growing Up Automation is found on every hand these days, and according to reports of a recent convention of food dealers, "you ain't seen nothing yet." With a hand full of small change, a person can go shopping and never open his mouth. Take for example right here in the hall of the courthouse. Through automatic ma chines, one can buy soft drinks, coffee, candy and in many places cigarettes. The machines not only deliver the goods,- but makes accur ate change. JjfM At a food retailers' cohvention in Cleve land some startling glimpses of thingq to .come were on display. Machines are avail able which can do practically all of the man ual tasks in a food store. An automatic wrapping machine operated by one attend ant can wrap forty packages of meat a min ute. An automatic molding machine makes hamburger patties, sausages, mock chicken legs, or boneless veal chops right in the store,? and it 'can turn out 2,100 hamburger patties an hour in almost any thickness or shape de sired. 1 Automatic scales print the exact weight, price and type of meat for self-ser vice operation marking. There are automatic baggers which weigh out and bag any desir ed ampunt of produce. The bad check artists are being taken care of by a new machine which photographs the casher of a check from the waist up while simultaneously microfilming the check. Automat food centers in large cities have been in business many years, and a lot of people prefer to eat at such places because of the time saved and convenience. Ytye are looking fbrward to the day when a machine will be invented to sell women their hats. It will perhaps be a gadget that will rave and rant about every hat the customer tries on ? or are there that many ways of raving and ranting in a complimentary vein about women's hats ? And how about selling women's shoes ? by what manner of mechanization can a ma chine reach into the shelves and take out half the stock and patiently try on shoe af ter shoe for the undecided customer ? smyway, we are not among those who have the nerve to say it can't be done. if' ^ I Cheery One ? I believe that "for evert single thing(you give away, two come back to you. Pessimist ? that's my experience. Last February I gave away my daughter, and she and her husband came back in August?Greeneville (Tenn.) Sun. Summer camps will soon be opening so the kids can be sent away for their parents' vacation. ? 1 ?

ITtaiiitSW 1 ~\ \ SHOWS- JI ACTORS AFOR TtiE <X*S~J United Fund Plan Gets Serious Consideration Here Plans are being completed by scores of towns and cities in the Carolines for the an nual United Fund campaign this fall. Yesterday a regional meeting was held in Hickory, and as a matter of interest, the di rectors of the Chamber of Commerce sent their executive vice president Ned Tucker down to get additional facts and figures on the project which has become so i>opular in raising money for so many worthy projects. Our neighbors at Canton have found the plan very practical for the juist two years, as have the citizens of Hendersonyille, and many, many other places. It now appears that the moie study that is given the matter here in this community, the more the citizens begin to realize the im portance of having one drive to raise all the money at one time. As it is now, there is almost a continuous drive for funds from early January through ' May, and in many instances one campaign begins before the last one has ended. While no definite decisions have been made for having a United Fund here, the trend of thinking certainly leans favorably in that direction. The Mountaineer has been favorably im pressed with the many advantages of a United Fund plan, and believe that the citi zens here will be happier by such a program, than continuing to follow the multiple of drives which now face us each year. We feel too, that the varidus agencies for whom drives are made will be happier ? and "wealthier" by the United .Fund plan. It all adds up for the affirmative, and nothing for the negative side. Thus it ap pears the time has arrived to go modern ? to go practical in our fund raising methods here in this community. % A Push Toward Prosperity Governor Hodges has announced a project, called "The Small Industries Pian," which holds hope for North Carolina. Sponsored by a foundation and headed by Capus Waynick of High Point, the project will include as the Governor says, "a practical demonstra tion of the use of raw materials and capital, under local management, in developing small industries which will provide new incomes iA the selected areas and furnish new jobs." North Carolina's average income is rela tively high in the industrialized Piedmont, low in the mountain, coastal plain and coast areas. Our per capita state income is low and we are making extensive efforts to raise it by bringing in more industry from outside the state. But that is working on a tough problem with only one hand. The other hand which we will put to work is this "Small Business Plan." It can do a great deal. Unused oppor tunities for money-making are lying around. For instance, eastern North Carolina raises a lot of peanuts but makes no peanut candy or peanut batter. It makes some of the best country hams, barbecue and sausages in the world, but falls flat on marketing them. The coast is a tremendous producer of seafood, but ships it out in bulk and Tar Heels buy it back nicely packaged or processed. In brief we lazily persist in practicing a raw material economy in which we get the little money and the other follow gets the big money. What we need to make more money is a combination of vision, initiative, energy, marketing know-how and a moderate amount of industrialization in the under-developed ureas of the state. The "Small Industries Plan" can supply the push that is needed. It has a most impor tant tasjt cut out for it. ?Greensboro Daily News.

June 11 ? marked the first anniversary of my service in the Senate. I can now say that I am a "qualified" Senator in the sense in which my friend, the late Mr. Francis Garrou, once said he was the "qualified Mayor" of Val dese; Mr. Francis Garrou, the lead ing citizen of Valdese, and one of the leading citizens of North Caro lina, was a very remarkable man. He was the General Manager of the Valdese Manufacturing Com pany, a textile plant at Valdese. On one occasion, his fellow citizens had his name printed upon the Municipal ballot as a candidate for Mayor of Valdese without having obtained his consent to do so. Mr. Francis, as he was called, was somewhat irritated by this action and threatened not to qualify as Mayor in the event of his election. Mr. Francis made this threat on , numerous occasions in the presence i of many persons, one of them be , insr a traveling cotton broker who visited the Valdese Manufacturing Company every few" weeks. When the election was held. Mr. Francis received virtually all of the ballots cast. Being a public-sDirit *d citizen, he accepted this call to duty and entered upon the dis charge of the duties of the office of Mayor. Some days later, the travel ing cotton broker returned to the Valdese Manufacturing Comoanv. i He recalled the threat which Mr. Francis had made at the time of his 'ast visit not to qualify as Mayor in the event of his election. He ask ed Mr. Francis how the election came out. Mr. Francis informed ? he broker that he had been elect ed. The broker then inauired of Mr. Francis whether he had quali fied as Mavor of Valdese. Mr. Francis replied in his characteris tic way: "Yes. I'm the qualified Mayor of Valdese. I have been sworn in and cussed out. and if that doesn't qualify a man for pub lic office, I don't know what does." AN EXAMPLE When my predecessor the belov ed Clyde R. Hoey, died. Senator Walter F. George said that Sen ator lfoev always voted for what he thooeht was rleht under exist ing conditions and in the light of all the information at his com mand During the year I have been privileged to represent North Car olina in the United States Senate. ! have endeavored to the best of mv ability to emulate Senator Hoev*s cxamnle in this resoeet. I exoect to continue to do so aa long as I remain in the Senate. The oast week seas exceedingly busv. The Senate Passed and sent to the House for Ks consideration a number of Important nieces of lertsMkwi. including the Homing Pill and the Amendment to the ? Minimum Wage Law. My three Committees, namely, the Armed Services Committee, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Government Operations Committee, and the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, were in practically continuous session. DRAFT EXTENSION The Armed Services Committee had under consideration the bill to extend the Selective Service Law for an additional four years. Inas much as I consider my member ship on this Committee my most important Committee assignment. I spent most of the week hearing the testimony of officials from the Defense Department and of the representatives of the various or ganiiations either favoring or op posing the proposed extension. Since the evidence tended to show that the extension of the Selective Service Law is absolutely essential to an adequate national defense, I expect to vote for the extension. BRIBES T spent a portion of the week with the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which has un earthed much evidence indicating that unscrunulous manufacturers of certain military and naval goods obtained contracts for furnishing such good* by bribing certain con tracting officers who had been en trusted with the dutv of obtaining such goods fbr the Armed Forces. In mv Judgment, the investigation conducted bv the Permanent Sub committee on Investigations is llke 1v to result in orison sentences for the guiltv parties I hooe to have an oooortunitv in some fu ?uee renort to descrihp how this In vestigation has been conducted. The Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce has been con Highland Flings . . While some eight or ten employ ees of the Town of Waynesville work six days a week to keep the town clean, several hundred oth er persons work seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to keep it dirty. Actually, these latter individu als don't strew trash around with raalie aforethought. It's just that they havent been taught any bet ter and hence, carry on like pigs more often than they do like peo ple. To such persons, pleas of "Keep Waynesville Clean" are just so much breath wasted. Therefore, any hope of cleaning up this town ; lies in arousing the responsible 'citizens to take some action to halt the littering of streets, sidewalks, and yards. Because of the fact that the planned cleanup campaign in April went over like an iron balloon, the accumulation of winter trash?with some spring additions?is still with us. As we have said umpteen tiihes before, something should be done But nothing is being done and probably won'f be if we keep'com plaining on this typewriter until it falls apart. Therefore, we have decided to cease this chatter and try to ge* a little action. Don't go 'way; we may have some real news soon on the litterbug front. o An old-timer is a peraafc who can remember when people were mar* concerned in Jane abeat rettin* sunburned than a bent being frost V; ducting bearings on the bills to ex empt producers of natural gas from regulation by the Federal Power Commission. 1 have attended ai many of these hearings as possible THE OLD HOME TOWN ??By STANLEY zw! rt_l scnd a pswt t*> kach or) y^nbuy" .mywirajs relattvb* - WHBN < B*UTTLjsAAajj tm*y cifowpec^wg i? sww&Tme summik wrw 73 ^OQ?
