Being a fair-minded fellow whether he agrees with you or not, Langston is qf the definite opinion that those who gave the money should certainly have a large voice in the final disposition of the re mainder. Note: Don’t be surprised if the whole thing ends up in the courts before final settlement. SOUTHERN PRESIDENT . . . The current issue of “We The Peo ple,” official publication of the N. C. Citizens Association, in pro moting a Southerner for the Presi dency, says: “The most amazing feature of this political dictum that the South should not expect the Democratic nomination, is that the South, itself, has accepted it. That attitude in the past is understand able. “The South, after the close of the war, had enough of its own prob lems to solve to prevent its lead ers giving too much attention to the larger problems of the nation. Ac tually, however, the Southern prob lem was a national one, and the progress the South itself has made economically and socially, has con tributed more to the welfare of the nation than any other domestic development that has faced Ameri ca during these more than three quarters of a century.” That’s a good statement. How ever the South must ultimately stand together on one candidate. If the present trend continues, you are likely to find North Carolina going with Senator Richard Russell of Georgia, while Tennessee of course swings along with Native Son Estes Kefauver. An interesting point: Kefauver is much stronger out of the South, his homeland, than in it._ ORGANIZATIONS ... The Olive Headquarters here say that their man will come up very soon now with organizations in about half the counties. Well, they have a pretty long row to hoe in that, respect, but may be talking gospel. So far, they have announced managers in only a mere handful of counties; and here it is* only about five weeks until the primary. HIGHWAYS » . . Groundbreaking and tree-cutting have already begun on a four-lane highway from Ra leigh to Durham.

Other big highway projects m the Piedmont: Charlotte-to-Salis Oontinued On Page 2 I Red Cross Goal b Exceeded b County Drive Hillsboro—The Orange County Red Cross Chapter has exceeded its annual membership goal and the| additional tornado relief quota as signed it by the National Head quarters, it was revealed here yes terday by Tom E. Bivins, chapter chairman. The report to Bivins was made by Fund Campaign Chairman Sim Efland who said the campaign net ted $2,420. The original goal for the county chapter was $2,200 and an other $200 was added for relief nec essitated by the disastrous tornado in the mid-west recently. Now, with the rampaging floods in the middle west taking terrific toll, the National office in attempt ing to raise another 10 million for this work. Bivins asked that any one desiring to contribute to this 'fund send contributions at once and emphasized that the need for funds continues great to finance existing flood and tornado opera tions to meet the grave threats still confronting the unfortunate victims.

Blue Mold Here Now Hillsboro—Blue mold has made its appearance in Orange County. County Agent Don S. Matheson. said the disease had been noted on1 several tobacco beds in the Cedar' Grove section this week. At the present time it is too early' to tell what the damage will be, but Mr. Matheson urged all county farmers to treat their plant beds with fermate or other recommended blue mold control chemical and to keep this material on the plants at all times. After a rain, the plant bed should be re-sprayed. Blue mold is the type of disease that spreads rapidly. Once it at tacks a plant there is no cure. Matheson states that weather condi tions during the last few days have been ideal for blue mold, and under similar conditions the disease would lose little time in spreading. Single spores of blue mold are as tiny as the smallest dust particle and cannot be seen tvith the naked eye. However, when they ure mass ed together in countless thousands Ibcw.riijn be seen as n ipolfly, bluish mass. Tlrbt ls'vhe "fflutf mold” that is seen on the underside of diseased leaves. When ripe or mature these thousands of spores drift like smoke in air currents to healthy plants nearby, or even miles away. Once blue mold strikes, as long as the infected leaf remains alive, a new crop of these spores is ma tused about sunsise every morning. If weather conditions are favorable for blue mold to develop, few un protected beds will escape the di sease because the spores are produc ed in an enomopsauantCtyvand^are. blown freely by the wind. ITINERARY CHANGE Hillsboro—Effective May 6, the representative of the Employment Security Commission will be at the courthouse on Tuesdays from jl to 12 a.m. and 1 to 2 p.m. rather than on Fridays. All job applicants and claimants should Teport at the new hours. Farming Business Too, Says Grange L eader New Hope—The case for con* tinued government assistance to the! American farmer was presented here last week at the annual Fami lv Night program of the New Hope Orange by State Orange Master! Harry B. Caldwell, who said that only 15 percent of payments now being made by the government to various segments of U. S. business goes to the farmers. Describing how big business, la bor and other groups were early in the field of government aid, Caldwell in a ringing address said agriculture had to have comparable devices to survive. “American Agri culture can give up its subsidies and protections whenever organized labor and business give up their similar devices to fix prices,” he said. Caldwell was introduced by Coun ty Agent Don Matheson. Grange Master Johnny Lockhart presided and Miss Dorothy Parrish sang a solo during the preliminary phases of the program. Labeling agriculture just as much of a business operation as many industries, Caldwell pointed out that more capital is required to give a man his job on the farm than in an industry. Government studies have shown that more than $11,600 is required on the average to provide farm employment for one man, whereas the general out lay for this same purpose in busi ness is $10,000, he saicL " Further illustrating ctH financial problem facing farmers, Caldwell said the average fanner last year received 80 cents an hour for his labor and nothing for his manage, ment duties. On the other hand, the laborer in industry received an! overage of $1.42 an hour, he de-‘ dared. * - ' Turning to North Carolina’s rank in the nationwide agricultural pic ture, Caldwell cited the followed: While this state is number one in the nation in farm population, it is I fourth in cash income from crops, 113th in total farm income, and 39th | in its per capita income from agri culture. Orange County, he added, is slightly below the state’s per capita farm income average of $660 a year. On the other hand, Caldwell commented the County for its Ru ral Progress Program, started last year with the obpective of increas ing the annual income of each farm family by $1,000. About 176 persons attended the banquet. AT SPEAKER'S TABLE at the recent family night banquet of the New Hone Grange were State Grange Master Harry B. Caldwell, New Hope Master Johnny Lockhart, Miss Dorothy Parrish, assistant home demonstration agent, Mrs. Matheson, and Don S. Matheson, county farm agent. Mrs. Caldwell, also at the speaker’s.table, was not included in the above picture. * ' — Hillsboro—Harry P. Breeze of Efland has told friends there he , will continue ns a member of the Orange County Board of Educa tion. . Breeze, who during the past four or five months has been unable to attend regular Board meetings because of the press of duties at the Western Electric Corporation plant in Burlington, had previously indicated he would prboably resign the post. This week, however, he is reported to have advised officials the pressure of his private employ ment has been altered so as to permit him to once again attend meetings of th£ Board. This development eliminates the possibility of two vacancies on the Board of Education in the im mediate future and the subsequent appointment of one of ^he five aspirants to ti«e poet held by Breeze, who is now completing his first year of membership on the Board to which he was nominated following an election victory over Zeb C. Burton of Cedar Grove. ! Four candidates from Chapel Hill and one one from 'Hillsboro have filed for nomination to the vacan cy to be left when incumbent Kemp S. Cate completes his present term of office.

W. Richmond, co-chairman of the Orange County Cancer Crusade for the Hillsboro area, yesterday issued a strong npptal for contributions in order for the county to meet the $2,400 quota.
