Editorial and Opinion Good Idea We want to commend Governor Scott and AB^ Ciiair man Robert W. Winston for their move to bring together the law enforcement officers in North Carolina in an effort to enforce the liquor laws in the dry counties. Under the set up in North Carolina, if a majority of the voters in any county want legalized liquor they can have it and if they do not want it, the law should be enforced to if the law enforcement officers in the dry counties really want to, they can greatly curb the illegal liquor traffic or they will drive the people to vote for legalized liquor. As long as the law is on the books, it should be enforced. In many counties an honest effort U/en force the prohibition laws have never been made. / In Which We Resolve National Newspaper Week is observed for the tenth time this week. The plan for the week was developed m 1940, with the original object of answering attacks and criticisms aimed at weakening the prestige and influence of news Year after year, the place of av free press in a free society has been emphasized. It is just as Well because people very easily take for granted the existence of a free press and the benefits of independence that the journalists of America enioy. , . ~ It is not expected that everybody will recognize the con tribution that great newspapers make to areas in which they circulate. Nov is it even certain that newspaper men them selves will ag7ee~upbn tHe vtrtues of any ;paiticular news paper. Nevertheless, the over all usefulness of newspaper makink lias redounded greatly to the development of intel li"'enrciti7CTTS nwhto the promotion oI their just-ambitions,. ~'()ne of- tlie features of jw U'i-fkr observed every year, is a special day setraside as National Newspaper Boy Day. This yeai, it occurs on October 8th. Subscribers to newspapers who:arc §gr u;d .lb' carrier boss are urged to ap preciate the.earnest efforts of thousands of carrier boys who serve the readers of thousands of daily newspapers through out the land. •” TP7 Many of the great citizens of this nation look back upon the years of service as carrier boys. The business experience, the training and the contact with human beings proved val uable to them in later life. This observation should remind those who deal-with the carrier boys that tiie youngsters are adept judges of human nature and readily respond to the consideration that one should naturally pay to a youngster. National Newspaper Week, like the New Year, is a time for resolutions and our resolution as always, is to bring you a greater and better newspaper, . In North Carolina To live in North Carolina is to know of tobacco market openings and turnip-sowing time; to enjoy the luxury now of roasting ears coyered with golden Guernsey butter, and experience the joy that rushes in with the scent of red sweet potatoes browning in the kitchen oven. To live in North Carolina is oft to think in terms'of mountains, sea and stars, of peanuts and peaches in long "winding .rows; of scupfternongs and muscadines;, of Wilkes courity apples and Watauga cabbager as well as Old Belt bright leaf and the snow of cotton fields. It is to experience the joyful anticipation of the opening of the squirrel season, of possum and fox hunts and to experience directly or vi cariously the chase with Br’er Rabbit on the run., It is the all-night vigil at the tobacco barn, and to relive the memory ! of the almost, lost institution of “corn shuckings,’’ and a mouth-watering at the thought of a well-cooked Brunswick stew.—-The Winston-Salem Journal. Fire Prevention Week During the next twenty-four hours, the chances are that fire; will take 30 lives—and destroy $2,000,000 worth of property. And that will happen during every ensuing day and night, if fire waste continues at the present rate. That is why public officials and civic groups in some 10,000 communities are now organizing in preparation for the 1949 Fire Prevention Week observance, which will take place from October 9 to 15. ' The point is plain and simple. Listen, read,.and learn during the week—and put into constant' practice what you learn. If we do that, fire’s horrible and unnecessary harvest of death and destruction will be sharply reduced.

Victory in this agri cultural competition will go to the State showing the better percentage of increase in “State wide, average per-acre yield over a 10-year base period ending in 1946.” The Richmond paper reports that, according to the U.. S. Department o f Agriculture’s mid-year crop report, Virginia’s 1949 average promises to be 43 bushels per acre, and North Carolina’s 31.5 bushels. Virginia’s 10-year average for the base period ending in 1946 was 27.8 bushels; that of North Carolina 21.8. On the strength of mid-year estimates, there of ore, avers The Times-Dispatch, the increase would be, Virginia, 15.2 bushels; North Carolina, ■ 9.7 bushels. The better showing of the Old Doiftinion, we are told, is due in part to steady increases in acreage planted to hybrid corn. Ten years ago only 9 per cent of Virginia’s acreage was seeded to hybrid; today Sit is 80 per cent. North Carolina_had. only 32 per cent of its acreage seeded to hybrid corn in 1949. . Well, there are the statistics, -'-.as offered by the Virginia paper, ' Buf sfatlsEfST aren't “everything*"' r A -off -thip£■* ran -happen to a corn field between “layin’-by” time and harvest, and Govern ment mid-year statistics and crop - predictions do -not always hit the mark on the nose.

The last, j big belly laugh may come-this Fall from Tar-heelia! —Winston-Salem Journal Won’t Be Popular Highway Patrol Commander Tpny Tolar has let himself in for a barrel of trouble, we sus pect, with his announcement that 100 roadblocks will be thrown .up throughout the state every Wednesday and Thursday night until further notice for the purpose of giving patrolmen an opportunity to check cars for mechanical defects.' We are for Colonel Tolar 100 per cent (as the old clique goes) in his efforts to make the high ways of North Carolina a safer habitat than they have been in the past and are at present. Especially praiseworthy in our opinion is his crackdown on fast traveling trucks and busses. Parenthetically, let us state that there is still a lot of work to be done along his line before the job is complete). — • Caldwell Mews MRS.
