; Something New
Tor the first time in the history
Of the United States a President has
vetoed a bill passed by Congress -for
- - reduction of taxes. Traditionally, It
' has been considered proper for Con
'gress to hold the purse strings and
determine expenditures. Conse
quently, when Congress has spoken
on the subject the President has al
ways ascepted the verdict with re
- gard to lowering taxes. This time
the bill passed both Houses with a
large majority and still was vetoed
i by the President something new.
- Financial experts are now pre
dicting a considerable surplus in the
budget at the end of the fiscal year.
.jnis nappens Decnuse more income
from taxes is being realized than
was expected. Moreover, Congress
has succeeded in cutting down pro
posed expenditures a great deal.
Consequently, the reduction of four
. billion dollars in taxes could have
been made and at the same time a
large payment on the national debt.
r Soaring Tax Load
The total tax bill of the nation is
now running just about one-third of
the total amount of money earned
by the people of the nation. This
fin earn mat one-uura oi tne a.vor
' age income of the average individ--.
nal is going for taxes. It means thnt
. At1-thrrl et a,mp man's infrrvta Ai-
government in taxes. This Is a dan
gerously high tax rate for peace
time, and if continued can be ruin
ous to the economy of this nation.
In fact, no nation can be expected
to prosper under that kind of tax
., load not for very long.
I President Truman, in comment
ing on the tax bill, said there was
already sufficient cash available for
i"necesary investment and business
expansion." It should be remem-
, bared however, that America didn't
fcecome great by making only what
jthe government considered "nec
essary Investment and business ex
pansion." The government did not
pronounce as "necessary" the de-
-vuupowin ik our great western rail
ways. .'. Neither did government pro
nounce "necessary" the develop
ment of the great automobile indus
jtry. The government did not pro
nounce "necessary" the production
of a cheap automobile made pos
sible by Henry Ford, General Mo
tors and others who had similar
dreams and who made capital in
vestments beyond what the govern
ment announced as "necessary."
' Ne Brakes Needed
, From personal contact with Indus
trialists and financiers I am thor
oughly convinced that new ven
tures are entirely too few. Much
capital Is being held back because
of various discouragements includ
ing high taxes and uncertain Indus
trial relations. Had these brakes
foeen on during preceding genera
tions they would have prevented the
development of the railroads, the
automobile industry, the refrlgera-
is mauscry, ana me airplane In
dustry. . Our nation would have been
much poorer today and e would
have been living on a lower. in
come level.
If we are going to have a pros
perous economy ten years from
now, taxes should be lightened im
mediately and industrial relations
tremendously Improved. We must
look ahead to anticipate our needs.
We can go along making "necessary
Investment and business expansion"
and move into poverty and medio,
erity, slipping gradually backward.
If our nation is to remain great-1

Home Nursing
Classes Completed
The home nursing classes that
have been conducted in the schools
by the American Red Cross have
been completed. Miss August 1
Futch was instructor for these clas
hes and announced the following
number have received certifites
for the course.
Kenansville White School, 25 cer
tificates; Beulaville White School,
20 certificates; and Magnolia Col
ored School, 26 certificates.
By the perhaps painless and ef
fortless method of absorption thru
the pores of the skin, if not through
the openings in my ears, I'm go
ing to-qualify before long as an
Agricultural Expert Maybe even
something more highfalutin-sound-ing
like Horticulturalist or Agronomist.
You see, in helping to get up
the Strawberry Jamboree here in
Wallace I have sat in on enough
meetings with County Agents, Ex
tension Officials, State College
Boys, and the like to get the equi
valent of a four-year course in
Applied Agriculture.
Just look at this list of spec
ialists I've been hob-nobbing with
in the past couple of weeks in
rounding up the program for the
Strawberry Jamboree: Dr. Charles
Dearine. director of the Coastal
Plain Experiment Station; Duplin
Farm Agent Lacy Weeks; State
College Horticulturalist Dr. E. B.
Morrow; Pender Farm Agent R.
R. Rich; Onslow Farm Agent Char
lie Clark; State College Plant Dis
ease Specialist Dr. Howard Gar
ris; State College Plant Specialist
H. M. Covington; Tide Water Pow
er Co. Agriculture Agent Neil
Bolton; State College Specialist
J. Conner; Swine Specialist Turn
ed Farmer Ellis Vestal; Duplin
Farm Bureau President Lewis W.
Outlaw; Pender Farm , Bureau
President J. V. f Whitfield; s New
Hanover Farm Bureau President
Albert Seitter; New Hanover Farm
Agent R. W. Galphin; Melvin Cord
ing, Expert Jersey Cattle Man.
What I've learned from them -or
should have learned from them -should
qualify me to raise prize
Strawberries, tobacco, spinach, and
any number of other crops, plus
the know-how to handle cattle and
pigs and the like.
Now, on top of all that I should
also be able to preserve straw
berries, make dresses, build farm
buildings, and all that sort.
During the same period I've been
absorbing knowledge from the
aforementioned experts, I'.e also
been holding a series of meetings
with Home Demonstration Agents,
Vocational Teachers, etc.
Among these are Tim Fields,
Wallace High School Agriculture
Voacational Teacher; Pender Home
Demonstration Agent Mrs. Fran
ces Register; Duplin Home Dem
onstration Agent Miss Hilda Clontz;
Pender Assistant Home Agent
Miss Mary Lee Burns; Duplin As
sistant Home Agent Miss Alta Law
sou; Duplin Assistant Farm Agent
V. H. Reynolds; Pender Assistant
Farm Agent W. G. Andrews; Miss
Eleanor Chestnutt, Home Econom
ics Teacher at Wallace High; H. E.
Beam, Vocational Agriculture
Teacher at Franklin High; and
perhaps several others.
All these people,- who know
their business, are on committees
which have worked out the details
for the Strawberry Jamboree pro
gram. This program, as you've prob
ably guessed, is given over almost
entirely to the agricultural angles I
of the strawberry and kindled I
products, if you can call dairy
products kindred to strawberries; -
and I do not see why inasmuch as
you ve got to have milk and cream
to have strawberries and straw
berry shortcake. And maybe you
even put butter into the cake. I
do not know about this yet.
You see, one of the main fea
tures of the Jamboree is the Dis
trict F. F. A. Livestock Judging
Contest in which some 300 to 450 !
high school boys from about 15 i
Southeastern counties will part'ei-1
pate. - , . . .
Of course, from the straight-hut
strawberry angle the big horticul
tural booth in charge of Dr. Char
les Dearing will be a top feature,
along with the special auction sale
of prize strawberries to restaurant
men representing leaning estab
lishments in the State. '
Whatever you do, plan to be
in Wallace for the Big Jambjree.
It's an event you won't want to
miss. .
Patrolman Horton
Stops Car With
32 Pints Liquor
The fellows in Clinton are prob
ably catching it tough this week.
Monday Patrolman Horton of Ke
narsville stopped a suspicious car
on the road near town. The driver
was an attractive lady. He ordered
net into town and secured a search
warrant. Inside the car he found
8 pints of whiskey, the legal lim
it, and in the trunk, he found 24
more pints.
The lady, Miss Bernlce Watts of
Clinton, runs a service station Just
out of town on the White Lake
road, reportedly belonging to i
man named Hicks. She was driv
ing his car so the car coull tot
be confiscated. She was not irink
!ng, so her driver's license couldn't
he revoked.
Horton gave her a nearing im
mediately before Magistrate C. B,
Sitterson who bound her over to
Coi.nty Court under $150 bond
Hallie Daughtry of Kenansville
stood her bond after she gave him
a check for $150.00.
Tuesday Miss Watts appeared i
County Court and Judge West
fined her $250.00. Not quite $25
a pint this time.

Wouldn't Take
Warning, So Is
Severely Injured
Dick Oates, a laborer, suffered
two broken legs last week when
the roof of Fred Williams' tenant
house fell on him,
Fred had Oates and some other
men repairing the house. He drove
out to see how it was going and
found the roof to the front porch
supported by only two thin boards
and the men working under it
Fred told them that it was oing
to fall if they didn't reinforce it
In less than two hours the whole
roof fell, catching Oates just '.t
the edge. His left leg was broken
in three places between knee and
ankle and his right leg suffered
a compound fracture between the
hip and knee.
