Beginning freedom from State Influence . it simply means that State suprem acy will be exercised only with re gard to matters of Statewide con cern." However, the State should exercise control over the creation of local debt he said. When there Was no State control many of the local governments went far be yond their ability to"pay.H "There la a tremendous volume of local legislation of the General Assembly most of it of Insuffi cient Importance to warrant the attention of the highest law-making body of the State, and it is usually adopted without study or deliberation or even knowledge on the part of the Legislature con cerning Its contents." -' He said 1 sense a growing hys teria for public borrowing and spending to the limit of safety.

He said that' the states had gradually been paying off debts, while the Federal debt had been mounting. "With the Impoverished condition of the Fcderaf Treasury before us and the very splendid condition of our - State treasury and that of other states, what sort of philosophy of government is it which continually sends del egates from other states to Wash ington seeking further Federal funds to be spent In the stateat" he asked.

"Let ua preserve a reservior ot common sense and stability of government which seeks to serve as a guide to those who advance as free men, a government which seeks to 'provide an open field and a fair f!;ht for all its people." lAmplSfylng1 a statement he Is sued last week in Raleigh, John son said that the tartrer and white FRIDAY, MARCH, 8th., 1946 County Planning Repairs School FROM SORATA Bv Jake INTENDED FOR LAST WEEK A 8lgn of the Times Last week a truck driver was unloading his merchandise at a warehouse in Wilmington. Work was proceeding well, and about completed, when a big strong lodking colored man walked up. He Inquired very earnestly, "Need shy -help; boss?" About the time the driver- had finished telling him "no", a young white boy well dressed and apparently able to work walked up to the driver and asked the same question that the tint man had asked. Then was a time when a truck er had no trouble picking up help to load and unload. Also there were applicants 'for, most, jobs. This has not been the case in the Immediate past however. Possibly the -; time Is approaching - .again when workers will be looking for work, instead of the work going undone because no hands : were available. A Duplin citizen reported, to his friends, a few days ago that his wife had been visited recently by I twb different women seeking work as maids. The lady had kept' some one to help her for a number of yean but for more than two years now has had no help at all. What Guides Tour Baying f It would be interesting to know what facton prompt people to choose the special item which they buy after looking at several, either of which would fill the need. Do we pick the one that costs the most and buy that because we have the money and think that the higher price makes the item bet ter t Sometimes, of course, U does; Perhaps the color of a thing is the deciding factor. Doubtless we would besurprised to know just how much influence the pack aging of an article has on the pur chaser. Famous brands, attractive labels, a good salesman, recom-, mehdatioiu by friends, custom, habit an acquaintance or friend who works in a store, all have their Influence upon a prospective customer. The question is: How many people know how to recog nize quality? That, it seems should be the factor that should be most Influential in our purchases. Yet very few people know how to tell quality in shoes, fabrics, or other things, and make no effort to find out how to recognize the best. Un der' present conditions there is little choice In buying many things and we buy what is offered re gardless of quality or price. This situation will likely change too, some day, and we will be shop ping to get value In exchange for money paid out Then it will be an advantage to know how to rec ognize quality. V We heard something the other day which makes one wonder if most people don't buy by price alone. A merchant said that re cently the price of blackeyed peas had advanced. Since the rise in price he was selling two bags per week. Before the price advanced he was selling one bag every two weeks. You figure that out we're busy looking for a shirt any kind, "i ;,.

The County Board of Commiss ioners at the request of the Coun- 1 ty Board of Education is setting machinery In action to provide " $115,000 (over and above insur ance collected from fire losses) for school buildings and . additions to school buildings next fiscal year. - This is as much as can be provid- . ed in one year, and is in addition 1o any amount budgeted for re- : pain and maintenance of schorl property. All necessary additions, etc., oan not be made in one year, but the program and plan which has been discussed with state off- iclals and approved by them pro- . vides that all necessary additions will be made within the next two or three years, which is as early as ample funds can be supplied. The inability to secure necessary materials, etc., has greatly re tarded plans for required addl- tions. i 92 cents (over 68 per cent) of our present tax rate of $L35 is for Debt Service.
