A 4-cent postage stamp salu
ting progress in soil conserva
tion in the United States will be
Aug. 26. It will go on sale the
fice Department, the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture announ
ced today.
The Nation's first soil conser
vation stamp will be formally
released at the annual meeting
of the Soil Conservation Society
of America at Rapid City, S. D.,
Aug. 26. t will go on sale the
following day at post offices
throughout, the country.
The stamp, which was deve
loped in cooperation with the
N. S. Department of Agricul
ture, portrays a modern farm
land setting signifying that con
servation farming brings beauty
as well as bounty to rural living.
Soil conservation practices por
trayed include contour stripcrop
ping, terracing, pasture improve
ment, tree planting, and a farm
:pond. In addition, the silhouette
of a city in the background sym
bolizes that urban as well as
rural people are highly depen
dent upon the care and wise use
of land as a principal source of
food water, shelter and clothing.
The stamp will be printed in
three colors, yellow, green and
blue.
A total of 120 million stamps
has been ordered. The artist is
Walter Hortens of New Yorft,
a native of Vienna.
Issuance of the stamp, officials
of the Department of Agricul
ture said, is a tribute to far
mers and ranchers, their local
soil conservation districts and
to the professional conservation
ists and other agricultural wor
kers who have helped make the
United States a world leader in
soil conservation.
Observances are planned, in
most of the Nation's 2,840 soil
conservation districts in coopera
tion with various agricultural,
industrial, civic and conserva
tion groups.
First-day "covers" Containing
the stamp are available through
the Postmaster at Rapid City, S.
D. Upon request and receipt of
addressed envelopes and a re
mittance to cover the cost of the
stamps, the post office at Rapid
City will place the new stamp
on the envelopes, cancel them
with a special cancellation mark
used only on that day and at
that place, and mail the envelo
pes on the first day of issue.

Four hospital administrators re

Hospital Association and four
physicians representing the Me

of Directors of the Hospital Core
Association.
The problem of greater health
protection for senior citizens is
not restricted to North Carolina.
Recent statistics from the Duke
University Regional Center for
the Study of Aging revealed that
the proportion of the nation's
population over age 65 has dou
bled during the past half century
and by 1975 the number of eld
erly persons is expected to have
increased from the. present 14
million to almost 21 million.
Medical advances and impro
ved standards of living have
teen largely responsible for the
increasing average life span.
"We know that people 65 and
over require more hospitaliza
tion than do the younger mem
bers of the community," Hern
don said. "They also stay in
the hospital longer. The need
for adequate prepayment pro
tection for these people is evi
dent. "Blue Cross offers the best
protection at the lowest possible
cost. Since Blue Cross is nonpro
fit, every penny received from
subscribers is used to provide
subscriber benefits and services.
And, because Blue Cross bene
fits are based on the actual cast
of the hospital services to which
a subscriber is entitled, and not
on a limited dollar allowance
that shrinks in value as costs
go up, Blue Cross protection is
worth more today than ever be
fore. "The American Hospital As
sociation, and the American Me
dical Association, have urged an
increase in the availability f

improved voluntary health insu
rance coverage for older people.
We feel our new Senior Citizen
certificate is an important step
in this direction and we intend
to do everything we can to en
roll all eligible persons in North
Carolina in this progra.n.' '

TROUBLE AT HOME . . . Whi
le cocky Sam Burrow of Ran
dolph County was courting li
berals in the recent Legislature
with his $1.00 minimum wage
bill (the House finally compro
mised on the 75-cents-an-hour
minimum and the Senate went
along), he apparently got into
trouble with the folks back home,
They say "a bomb blew up in
his face."
Burrow got a bill through per
mitting jury trials in recorder's
court. Anybody knowing much
about courts can tell you about
the expense of jury trials. So,
the opposition is after Bre'r Bur
row, charging extravagance, etc.,
and may make a dent in Repre
sentative Burrow's avowed poli
tical ambitions.

YOUTH VS. AGE . . . Rumors
petsist that veteran Congress
man Carl Durham may have op
position for his Sixth District
seat in the person of Bob Scott
Alamance County farm son of
the late W. Kerr.
Ralph, brother of Kerr Scott,
tried it a fewtyears back but got
absolutely nowhere despite the
fact that had made some politi
cal name for himself as State
Senator.
Should young Scott, about 30,
run against Durham who will be
a young 67 on August 28, he
will no doubt have good help
from labor as did his uncle when
he made the run. Durham is re
garded as a middle-of-the-roader.

When Second District Con
gressman L. H. Fountain was
running against the late John
Kerr in 1952, the name nearly
caused trouble for Fountain. Ed
Lewis, now executive secretary
of the N. C. Motel Association,
was talking last week about how
he and some others were getting
up a big motorcade for L. H.
It was to be a terrific thing to
uring the whole district. It was
well organized, news release
were ready, a lot of money had
been spent on placecards. But
just before they were ready to
go with the big signs, etc., some
body saw that a serious mistake
had been made.
In an effort to be fancy, or at
least different, the placecards,
the big signs, the news releases,
etc., referred to the giant motor
cade as "carcade."
"Lordamercy", yelled a suppor
ter for Fountain, "we've got to
destroy all this stuff and use the
word motorcade. Everybody hea
ring about it will say it's a stunt
for John Kerr. They'll say it's
a Kerr-cade". Thus it was that
thecarcade had to become a mo
torcade almost overnight.

He's not dishonest or doing anything illegal. But present federal laws give
him and many ether people an unfair advantage ever you and most Ameri
cans as far as some of your taxes are concerned. '
Here's how:
More then 20 cent out of every dollar you pay for electricity goes for
taxes. But under present tax laws, several million families and businesses
escape paying most of the taxes m their electric bills that yon pay in yours.
They are people whose eleotricity comes from federal government electric
systems, Unlike'you, these people ply no federal taxes at aD and little or
no state or local taxes in their electric bills.
What's more, the taxes they escape have to be made up by other people
including you!
Most Americans believe everyone should pay his own fair share of
taxes. How do you feel about it ;
