ERVIN Sami J. Ervin'g recent
votes with the Republicans in the
VS.. Senate r may result in more
formidable opposition in the 1956
primary than; some thought few
weeks "ago;- It '.'could; be that the
Umstead administration would be
come so engrossed with winning the
senatorial nomination for Ervin in
'56, that they would pass up an ac
tive part in the gubernatorial con
test. .This was what happened in the
Cherry administration in 1948. It
Went all 'out for Umstead in the
Senate race against Broughton but
took, but little part tat the Scott
Johnson gubernatorial race.
CHERRY This column will
"guess"' that former Governor Cher
ry can have the post as democratic
National Committeeman if he
wants It. Could be that the tobacco
Chewing former governor has not
gotten sufficiently over missing the
senatorial "appointment and would
decline the post.
ROSS George R. Ross, Direc

Ross is a man with a lot of home

Carolina.

enacted legislation requiring that
four other counties be placed en.

December 1954, the clerk of sup.

the clerk of superior court and the
sheriff in Richmond County will be
placed on salaries. Effective Dec

The salary of sheriffs in North

the lieutenant governor, his com

the legal duties and responsibilities

and will not conflict with that of an

We Get What
We Deserve
Rowland R. Hughes has one of the
toughest and most responsible jobs
in the country Director, Bureau
of the Budget. He recently said:
"A point I wish strongly to empha
size is that this fiscal and budget
task is one which requires team
work. There are thrje distinct par
ties to it: the administration, of
course; the Congress, definitely; but
the public the citizen is eq
ually important. How much can be
done by the administration and the
Congress is primarily dependent
upon the support of public opinion."
Most men in political life keep
their ears to the ground. They try
to give their constituents and the
voters at large what they think is
wanted. To a very great extent, it
is the people who lead and their
representatives in government who
follow.
That is certainly true of our fin
ancial affairs as a nation. If we
really want economical government,
we will get it if we want waste-,
ful, paternalistic government, we
will get that. It is true, of course,
that everyone pays lip service to
the cause of governmental economy.
It is equally true that, when the
chips are down, we too often want
all the economy confined to the
other fellow not to us. This
"take it out of his pocket, not mine"
attitude is largely the reason why
it is so enormously difficult to even
moderately reduce nonessential
spending.
Here an old axiom applies with
full force: We get the kind of gov
ernment we deserve.
YOUR KITCHEN
AND FARM MACHINERY
The modern American kitchen is
a miracle of labor-saving conven
ience. Electric ranges, refrigerators,
washers and all manner of other ap
pliances have transformed both the
urban and rural home.
That kitchen, strange as the idea
may seem, wouldn't be possible if
it w eren't for farm machinery
S,".-lJ.':.;vfi"1V.;4r'.' lr ' '' v-
Phone 2250
tractors and harvesters and all the
rest! ,r
Here's the reason.. In this nation's
early days, it took 83 farm workers
to produce enough food for them,
selves and 15 others now IS farm.
ers produce enough for themselves
and 89 other, To come down to
modern times, in the. past 40 years
farm output has doubled. while
the number of manhoura needed to
achieve the -' enormous production
has Weadily declined. That means
that vast armies of people have been
able to take jobs In industry. They
produce automobiles, stoves, TV sets
and all the thousand and one other
things that make for better living.
To take 'one example, e modem
combine saves in a single day, en
ough manpower to manufacture a
refrigerator. There would be only
a comparative 1 ; handful of people
available to man the factories if we
were : still s dependent on . human
and animal labor to do the jobs of
the . f ana; t'''c,f0M':
Farm output must be much great
er still lit the future our soaring
population makes that certain. And
again machinery will make the task
possible and at the same" time leave
plenty of workers for our other
needs. -. . . .. . .' ;:,"...
DOGS
SELF FEEDING -
Want to be away for the week
end and need someone, to feed the
dog? .
Don't worry about it. Just leave
the hose running slowly to furnisft
fresh water and provide him with
enough food and go ahead and
have your fun.
And don't worry about the food
spoiling, the dog over-eating or
getting insufficient nourishment.
For researchers in the Swift Nu
tritional Research Kennels have sol
ved the problem for many dog own
ers who occasionally have to leave
their pets on a run for a full day
or longer.
The answer lies in the develop
ment of a new meal type dog food
and subsequent tests that prove that
it is still palatable when fed ab
solutely dry.
The new dog food was brought
out a few years ago, making use of
discoveries that had been made in
research on a bland lard one
that wouldn't rancid when not re
frigerated. Up until then, dry dog
foods had lacked both the neces
sary ingredients to completely nour
ish a dog and the palatability that
would make him . willing to eat it I

Ouflookl For Tohaccol Is
Greenville, North Car",
At
Weather conditions prevailing
over that section of Eastern North
Carolina from which the Greenville
Tobacco Market draws tobacco for
its auction sales, during the month
qf July have been as follows: '
A relatively dry June was follow
ed by abundant ' rains during the
month of July. Intermittent showers
during the first part of July were
without water or milk being added.
Of course you can't just buy a
bag of meal, dump it in a feeder.
and go off for the week end. Dogs,
unlike humans, actually don't need
variety in their diets and a dog that
has been on one type of feed for
a period of time may not like to
change to another in fact he may
refuse to eat it for a while. Add to
this the fact that if you have been
feeding only once a day your dog
may be inclined to eat all of every
thing put in front of him.
So try feeding the dry meal for a
while when you 'can keep an eye
on results before leaving him. And
naturally, dogs being dogs, you will
probably find that he' tips over his
feed dish, just for fun. A heavy
dish 'will take care of this, or just
attach a light dish to the floor.
