Speak ' ing of actors, we are glad to see that Jack Paar is making a name for himself on his TV program, “The Morning Show”. Jack is a good boy, a hard worker. We served with him for a iong time in Southern Pacific waters during World War II. Some few years after the war was over we visited him at his "Tioine~in'“C5KfOTSuir Wectfbughf he had plenty of talent—more than many another making ten times as much money—but Jack wasn’t doing much when we savr tiim. * He was having it tough— biit he later did a little pincii hitting for Jack Benny during the summer months.

I didn’t know anything like thkt was left. J did a little checking and found that this- -particular shoe shop has pulled in a lot of busi ness, because of the five-cent shoeshine. The original five cents—plus the tips—is making the operation more profitable than if 15 cents were being charged as most places do in this latter half of the twentieth century.

OVTMon SCHOoi ■Aauj£ E>teRY Scwoou ttTftitt imj* a i Garden Time --Robert Schmidt —-- - Small fruits and berries should have a place in every home gar den because they adapt them selves to the usual methods of garden cufture and they come into production so soon after planting. Of these the dewberry is one. of the easiest to grow. It will succeed on any type of soil and. although it responds: to fer tilization. does not require a great deal of care along that line. Plants may still be set in most parts of the state; The us ual planting distances are five feet apart in the row with rows five to eight feet apart. For gar den culture dewberries are gen erally trained to stakes which ;are five to six feet high. Twentyrfive plants should supply th'e average fa mi 1 y wttfrjrtf -the berriesrthey will 1101.% for fresh fruit and for freezing or canning. Plants set now will produce a full crop of berries in June of. 1956. The red-fruited varieties such as Youngberry, Boysenbejry and Lavacaberry are generally nec ^ofnmended for > home garden planting. Under our conditions the Boysenberry appears to be somewhat larger than the others. # These are claimed to be and ... ■ ■ > now are generally accepted as hybrids between a dewberry * species and the .red raspberry. They have a raspberry flavor and are of exceptionally high dessert quality when allowed to become fully ripe. However, when ripe' they, are qifite Soft and cannot be shipped or kept, fflr any length of time, but must be eaten or processed without delay. Thornless strains of these may be obtained and are recommend ed for home gardens because it is more pleasant to handle the canes and to pick the fruit. Sometimes the thornless plants will revert back, to the thorny.', type. Pmpajationsshtmfd' .al ways be made from the thorn less canes if you wish to retain the thornless * characteristic*. Dewberries are propagated by covering the tips of the canes with soil in early fall. These will root during -fall and winter and mayjye dug up, cut from the par- ' ent plant and set in a new lo cation during February or Match.

The need is for the accumula tion of data on all reserve and active armed forces groups into a handbook to be distributed among high school and college graduates. When our country’s young males •finish, 4h«ir--educations- they - are faced with the problem of wheth ed they should allow the Army to draft them into service or enlist in some other branch. If they choose the latter, they must pick from a lengthy list of ser ~ vice- organizations -and programs:^ The recruitee frequently has no organizatized conception of the requirements and stipula tions of all these numerors voluntary branches of service. He picks his branch haphazardly from a radio recruiting an nouncement, a-street poster, or a tip from a friend that a certain branch is a “good deal.” There is no central agency or become fully informed on the programs into.which he is eligi ble to become enrolled. - So- insteaiL jo£ choosing wisely after a thorough examination of all the possibilities, he plunges blindly into a branch of service which may or may not particu larly suit his individual circum stances,’ but which will take from two to four years out of his life. The Defense Department,, therefore owes it to U. S. youth to compile a handbook including accumulated information on every branch of service, reserve and active, through which a person may complete his selec tive service requirements. Such a book would give detailed in formation on each program and make the prospective recruitee fully aware of the circumstances surrounding his enlistment.

COLONIAL COURT HOUSE The Chowan County Court House, at Edenton, will be seen by visitors to the fourth bien nial Pilgrimage of Colonial Edenton and Countryside April 15-16.

The Business Side Of Farming Wayne Corpening Manager. Agricultural Division Wachovia Bank and Trust System A farmer might say it like this; ‘■When my outgo exceeds my in come, my upkeep will be my downfall." Our farm- income in Norm Carolina is just about $1 billion each year. Just how much is $1 billion? At one dollar per sec ond, 24 hours a day, it would take 33 years to accumulate $1 bil lion. We have made our progress in agriculture by selling more pror ducts at higher prices with more efficiency, During World War ■' tr mis'******* ing as a “fad:" Now they’re los ing money in may’cases. It takes tound management to make a go of farming today. Returns for super-management. are greater now than ever be fore. What’s the difference when one farmer has a 600-pound beef calf at selling time while anoth er has only a 325-pound calf? It’s knowhow' and management to have the„ calf dropped in Jan uary; instead of Mgy. ' Another example of need for all possible know-how is with irrigation. Irrigation won’t make a good tobacco crop—but com bined with other good practices,, it pays off nicely.. As a. result of promotional work, Northwest North Carolina> eggs no bring a premium of five cents per dozen. This is thJ suit of combined eforts of J ious agencies and all massgj We still import $17 million J of eggs annually into North! olina. Dean of Agriculture d j Colvard says we can increase] farnt income 50 per cent iij use all available know-how,] only way to accomplish tU for everyone to get behind! same wheel and push hard. We’ve reached only 57 cent of otfr potential prJ tivev,capacity with corn and! 45 per cent of our NC grJ 'use hybrid seed.

That’s why all the J are so important in telling) story. Farm income changes d five or six times, befare it M the community. Hence, an J creased .farm income has seJ times that increased effect] local business. Our success toward’acli ing a 50 per cent increase] farm income in North Card is limited only by our deternl tion and imagination. SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYS * M received numerous letters and telegrams from constituents giving me their views in respect to the bill to extend excise taxes and corporate ineome taxes at their present rates for an addi tional year. I delay answering these com munications until the Senate act_ ed on this bill because it Was im_ possible for me to tell before • that-time the e*«»t-f©fm4R-whieh* this bill would.be represented to the Senate, for consideration. The tax bill was acted upon In the Senate on last Tuesday, As a member of the Senate, I voted on two proposed amend ments:- ' ■ Basic Convictions • .
