program agree to market their cu
cumbers, peppers and watermelons
through the new Cooperative. By so
doing, the marketing sources can
assure purchasers and various re
tail outlets of not only quantity but
quality.
Farmers are of the opinion that
through this N. C. Coastal Growers
Cooperative they will receive a
higher average price for their pro
duce and at the same time be as
sured of a marketing source.
The reason farmers felt the neeJ
for organizing for a ready market
is when the peak season of any veg
etable came in, prices on the pro
duce auction markets dropped shar
ply. There have been times when
farmers could not, or would not be
cause of the low prices, sell their
produce. It was allowed to stay in
the fields because harvesting would
only mean additional expense.
Often this meant .the farmer went
into debt in order to sell the pro
duce. Purpose of the new Cooperative
organization is to eliminate this
from the production and marketing
picture. The firm handling the vege
tables will know in advance that
quality vegetables are being pro
duced and what quantity to expect
from day to day.

Lions .' 1 1
Jaycees 0 2
The Warsaw Little League Base
ball season got underway last Sat
urday with the Lions defeating the
Joycees 7-0, and the Rotary edging
the Legion 5-4 in extra innings: The
first game was scheduled at 2: p
m. and the second at 4:15. All
games will start as mentioned and
will be played on the Junior High
Field.
Little ( big)- Paul Britt. an all
star catcher last year, turned pit
cher and hurled a "one-hitter at
the young and in-experienced Jay-
cee team. Seaton Matthews, regular
second baseman for the Jaycees got
the only hit in the third. Matthew's
sharp single between second and
third came in the top of the t bird
with score 0-0.
Britt, a fine looking prospect for
James Kenan in years to come, (he
looks good enough to me now
struck out 16 Jaycees and allowed
only one walk. He ajso had a perfect
day at the plate with three-for-three
and drove in four runs. I might add
that Donnie Bradshaw was on the
receiving end for Britt and the Lions
and did a fine job.
Pat Matthis, a first year man with
the Lions played like a veteran down
a first base. Pat, a fine little right
hander looked real good with the
timber. He collected tow hits out of
three trips to the plate and believe
you me that's hard to beat, Little
Ken Minton, a Lion regular also col
lected two hits for the winners.
As for the Jaycees, you could see
a lot of improvement in the club,
but I feel like the Jaycees team
got the short-end of the stick as
per usual. Of course with their very
capable leader Manager Allen Drau
ghan, Sr., the clug will win some
real good games this year.
In the second game played Satur
day the Rotary defeated the champs
of last year . . . Legion 5-4 in extra
innings. This was without a doubt
one of the best games played in
the Little League in a long time.
1 Larry Cooke, an outstanding Little
Leaguer and a fine pitching pro
spect for dear ole Jame3 Kenan
struck out eight and allowed only
four hits in the six innings pitched,
for the Rotary. Ronine Batts came
in in relief in. the seventh with the
Rotary leading 5-4, but virtue of
three walks and a hit baseman and
struck out the side to win for Man
ager Ted Wilson.
Mickey Walker, another fine look
ing pitching prospect allowed only
six Rotary bits. Dick Kennedy, a
first year man with the Legion hit
a triple for the Legions only extra
base hit of the day. " rV
i Lynn Hilton, the LegionV regular
was brought to Duplin General Hos
pital. Both children have been mov
ed to University Hospital at Chapel
Hill. Mrs. Tate wis treated at the
hospital but her injuries were not
serious.
The driver of the truck was Burk
Stamey, white male, age 42, of Rt,
2, Bakersville. N. C. Stamey was
admitted to the hospital with back
injuries.
The Chevrolet car was completely
demolished and about $700 damage
was done to the truck. Mrs. Tate
was charged with failing to yield
right-of-way. The Ttate's were on
their way from Elizabeth City to
visit relatives in Rose Hill.
Patrolman G. R. Stewart investi
gated the accident.
IV
Costin
catcher came in in relief in the sev
enth and was the losing pitcher.
Hilton walked the first two men to
face him and then struck out the
next two, but the next man walked
to load the bases. The next man to
face Hilton was hit by the first pit
ch and forced in the winning run.
In the games played Tuesday of
this week instead of Wednesday the
Rotary sent the weak Jaycee club
down to their second straight de
feat 11-0 in four innings. The Jay
cee club did not even have enough
men on hand tdtart but the man
agers soon cleaJl the bench of re
serves. Ronnie Batts, a real team player
worked the four innings for the
front-running Rotary and allowed
only one hit. Tommy Costin got the
only Jaycee hit in the second inn
ings. Bobby Gavin and Bobby Sloan :
lead the winers with two hit eacrv '
Batts also had two hits for a per
fect day at the plate.
In the second game Tuesday the
Legion team Champions of last sea
son defeated the Lions 6-1, behind
the four hit pitching of Mickey Wal
ker. Walker did not walk a man and
struck out 13 batters and also help
ed his cause with two hits. Ken Mm
ton, the losing pitcher had two of
his team hits.
Wheat Vote Is
Set For Farmers
In N. C. July 21
The main isue at stake in the re
feredum of wheat farmers scheduled
for July 21 will be the parity level
at which the crop will be supported
for complying farmers.
A favorable vote will set the sup
port rate at 75 percent of parity on
the 1961 crop while an unfavorable
vote will drop support on wheat to
50 per cent of parity
In order for a favorable vote to
be registered, at least two-thirds of
those voting on July 21 most give a
positive vote.
The wheat allotment for North
Carolina for 1961 is 292,908 acres.
This compares with North Carolina's
wheat allotment for 1960 of 295,679
acres and is based on a National
allotment of 55 million acres. The
same 55 million acres allotment pre
vailed in 1960 since that is the mini
mum fixed by law.
In addition to the level of support,
growers will be making a choice for
or against marketing quotas and
over-planting penalties. It should be
pointed out that acreage allotments
will remain in effect regardless of
the outcome of the referedum, and
planting within these allotments win
still be rekulrement for eligibility
under the price support program
and the Sou Bank Fsogram.
Second Primary June 25
Platform Of David H.
AGRICULTURE:
The tobacco program must be pre
served. It must be defended against
those who would, through taxes or
otherwise, destroy the croo that is
most vital to the economy of the
Third District and the South. Any
additional taxes put on tobacco
would be that much more money
taken out of the farmers' pockets.
Each year close watch must be
kept over ' agricultural and conser
vation and similar programs to pro
tect them and improve them where
ever possible.
Our program relating to other
crops must be protected and in
some instances improved at the ear
liest possible date. Our farmers, our
ginners and our warehousemen are
particularly concerned over the loss
of cotton acreage to other states.
We need to incorporate in our re
search and development program a
broader study of marketing of farm
produce, including livestock, to im
prove the position of the farmer and
to protect him against the squeeze
of glutted markets.
COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN:
The commercial fishermen in this
district annually harvest millions of
pounds of fish. They are the farmers
of the sea, producing fish and fish
products not only for human con
sumption but also for a great variety
cf commercial uses, including ;er-
tilizer, oil, ground shells, etc. Cn--teret
County alone produces more
salable sea products than any other
county between New Jersey and
Texas. '
The federal government must
move immediately and effectively to
protect our great domestic seaiood
industry, not only through improve
ment of what we have but throrph
protection against unfair competi
tion from foreign countries. It is a
fact that Japanese sea foods
crabs, shrimp and others - are be
ing sold in our own Third District in
competition with our fishermen. To
compete with the lower prices of
the imports, our fishermen would
have to accept a standard of living
equal to that of the clientals. Our
coastal people and their children
must not be asked to make that
sacrifice.
This is one of the most serious
conditions facing our district today.
Your next congressman must move
with all haste to protect the inter
ests of our coastal people. I am pre
pared and determined to fight un
fair imports that are detrimental
not only to our fishermen but to all
American labor as well.
With these conditions prevailing,
I disapprove the policy of taxing
the fishermen's equipment, just as

also will mark the finest sport fish
ing spots off our coast.
RIVERS. HARBORS AND
TRANSPORTATION:
In the Third Congressional District
we have the most natural and stra
tegically located harbor at More
head City. Its development must
not be subordinated to any other
port. The channel must be maintain
ed at .a depth to accommodate deep
draft vessels of all sizes. This is im
portant not only to the port city but
to the entire district. We know that
if we can get the ships, the cargoes
will come. More cargo means more
demand for warehouse space, more
rail and truck traffic and more jobs
all up and down the line. Not to
be overlooked is the influence this
could have on port-generated indus
try that could affect all Eastern
North Carolina.
Stream clearance, with its allied
benefits to moscjuito control, flood
prevention, agriculture, water con
servation and industry, is nr.d must
continue to be an important port of
the program of work for this dis
trict.
TAXATION:
I believe in a sound tax structure
which fairly distributes the cost of
government in proportion to ihe
value of service and the ability to
pay. I favor tax reductions fur ali
through reduction of costs ol gover
nment. Waste and inefficiency in
government must be reduced and
unless it is, our tax burden reaches
the point of bankrupting the nation's
economy and depriving the individ
ual of a just share of his income.
A man making $K0 a week has
withheld from h'S paycheck $11.57
each Saturday, leaving him $48.43 to
provide himself with the necessities
of life. Certainly I would be opposed
to any special concessions to big
business, since this would merely
increase the tax burden of the wag
earner. We must be ever mindful
that any increases in appropriations,
whether justified or not, increase
the tax burden.
LABOR:

mer, the fisherman and the small

titled to a standard of living that
permits him to support his family,
educate his children and enjoy not
only the necessities but many of
the finer things of life.
Labor organizations, like business
organizations such as the Chamber
of Commerce, have a proper and
important place in the economy of
our nation. The federal government
should be ever ready to assist these
organizations in repelling any gan
gster element that puts itself above
the welfare of the individual mem
bers or of the nation.
VETERANS
As a four-year veteran of World
War II, I have found myself consis
tently in favor of those programs
advocated by the veterans organiza
tions which benefit the men and wo
men who served their country. We
must be particularly concerned with
providing better and more available
hospital care for veterans and to
protect the living standards of the
families of the men who did nt
come back from the wars.
SOCIAL SECURITY:
The Social Security Program is
one of the finest ever instituted by
our federal government and it must
be maintained on a sound fiscal bas
is. Improvements should be made
whenever possible without jeapordiz
ing the stability of the program.
The retired worker and the aged
who have paid into this program for
many years arc entitled to the
benefits held out to them while they
were workin1,'. This is a refuge of
security which must be maintained
for our older citizens.
INDUSTRY
I am firmly of the opinion that
new industry is essential to im
prove the economic balance of our
District I shall avail myself of
every opportunity to encourage it,
believing it would be to the best in
terest of our wage earners as well
as provide additional markets for
our products of agriculture and the
sea.
We must recognize the importance
of a friendly atmosphere conductive
to keeping the industry we have
and encouraging others to come.

In this modern scientific era, new
approaches must be made in the
field of education. We must provide

way he keeps a check on the "afety
feature of his car. and he's likely
to let you know in no rncertain
terms that's his own business. Be
sides, "It's always the otner fc-llow
who causes accidents."
The fact is keeping a car in sfe
operating condition is something
tangible that can't he left to the
"other fellow". Each car owner
must recognize and accept a per
sonal responsibility for the condition
of his car whether he drives a e
hide of ancient vintage, a shiny
late model, or simply looks to the
family car for week end jaunts Into
the countryside.
The basic theme here is expressed
by the North Carolina Department
of Motor Vehicles. It's "Safe Habits
and Safe Vehicles."
Safe habits are important because
they help one to do the right thing
first and to do the right thing auto
matically when there's no time to
think.
The safe habit of always driving a
safe car is important because, when
an emergency does arise, your ve
hicle must respond perfecMy and
immediately to save your life . . .
or that of another person
And whether it's safe driving ha
bits or a vehicle in safe operating
condition, the determining factor la
the human factor. Bad brakes, worn
out tires, dim or blind lights, a leak
ing exhaust system, all can be trac
ed right back to the person who ne
glected to keep his car In safe oper
ating condition.
