Editorial And Opinion The Last Of Summer The last full month of summer is upon us. The thought brings many considerations to mind. For the young, who go to school, August is the last month of vacation. It is the last month of ocean houseparties and vacations, mountain hikes and various pleasure and vacation .trips to lakes and parks and other facilities throughout the country. Many a youngster will slot forget that August is the last month ol vacation ort even One day .ol the month, bitterly fighting against time, losing battle though it is, the youngster who hates school will live every minute ol August. „ Fdt others, the arrival ol the last month of summer brings about thoughts of hurricanes, fall, fool ball and many other • reflect ?»hs. By the end of August, the days will he consider ably shorter than they were in June, and the falT ecpiiiiox will only be about three weeks away. In the northern latitudes ol this country, die first told snaps will havejxissiblv vAhisilod in through die drying leaves of the trees, although in the southern .latitudes. the weather wifi still be hru and:oppressive,, in typical summer fashion. ' Blit it Ml? b(e die’Iasi stub moiirli, even in most southern, latitudes. • '• Professional football begins late in August, and August has now become the last full moth ol. major league baseball, although (he season runs well into the last days^of Septem lier. .' -''' " I lie first hurricanes of the yeai usually come in August, and. bv the time you read this, the first warnings ol tremble spots in the Caribbean have been reported. Bin today s prob lems. arid longings, are not as serious as those just a few years ago, and all Americans led a'littlc better when they consider tfie fact that Ipnneen yc^rs^gu; TtrrAngust, the Japanese ad vance in the south (antral Pacific luiytl not vet been checked, and japanese troops were just abend thirty miles fnoin Port Moresby, w hic h \vas only an hour's flying distanc e'from Au stralia. t/ In that month also, Hitler's armies .were bidding for v ic - tors in Russia, driv ing towards Stalingrad, and Rommel stood ajt F.l Alamein, where lie would remain before being defeated by Field Marshall Montgomery. <> . Better Tq Float Contentment We wisly to announce that the. "River of Health" wide ly comment'd on in the nation's press, and composed of the f,fi billion quarts of milk provided last year by Ameri ca’s g¥.4o6.ooo«*milk cows, would more than fill the Suez Canal. It would also float the U. S. Mediterranean fleet, and ^veral more fleets besides. ~* What it actually did, however, seems even more spec tac - ular. It supported and advanced the health of the nation— the healthiest nation in the world. It sold foV nine times the estimated cost of the that controversial, yet -mythical, Aswan High D m. Roughly half of this River of Health was converted into butter, cheese, evaporatecT milk, ice creafn etc. The otliok hull Americans consumed as fresh, fluid milk. IFcnstTbein an average tfHfcveri minutes work per quart— as compared with tmipiites in 1929. The milk in in bought TFTii st from :!»-.■ farmer, pasteurized it,*h<). io/cd it.-fortitied*it (hr whatever), bottled it and deKvcoo it to bis c ustonier in order to make half-a-c ent plus t ,2 too of_a cent) profit on a quart.

The Male Models ■/ One profession which- the editor admits an inabilttv to "see. ” Is That of moeielling tor men. Just as we had little ad miration lor>vflule ballet dancers during wartime, we find ourselves without, a proper apprec iation of the talents of male mcxfels in both,war and pease. The gentle art of posing, ancfgrinning just light for the camera,.or batting one s eyebrows, and assuming both the affec ted and uiiajfec ted look, leaves us stric tly chilly. We are country bumpkin enough to feel that the "darl ing" nude models of the* drygoods business would do well to get themselves a real job.-We are aWSre^the jact that most of them probably make more money than heritors, but, ne\ ertheless, they are. pursuing an effeminate wafNrl life which is not conducive of very much that is manly. AncK worst «>[ all. nijHtivol these male models seem to be following ip the fwnlc.a£.ihf liean|x>le set—the female modelling clan—whose fKoorv vt*pms tO he that the thinner a mocWI can he without, having to be carried off on a stretcher, the better it is for, me advertiser. . In other words, we have seen too many spindlv-leggecl hollow-c hested, sissiifed male models. Take them awtiyrMe 11 take the fellow with ohe eye, or with the red beard and his quinine water. _» __ fEtje j?eto£» of derange Count?

TWENTY ... The word we get is that the State will be request ed to raise the salaries of State employees 20 per cent—straight across the board. They deserve it. Now. whether this 20 per cent increase includes teachers, we do not know as yet. But—as a rule — teachers have done better on pay raises within the1 past 15 years than have the other State employees. Of. course, there was much more room for improvement in the pay going to our teachers. VISITOR ... Speaking of sal aries, teachers, and what-have you. we had as guests at the Bfewer home a recent evening Dr. and Mrs. Ralph McDonald. As you know. Dr. McDonald is president of Bowling Green State University in Ohio. He looks well and happy. ^ He has a lifetime contract which provides that he can re tire any time he wishes on one half his regular salary—which is nearly twice'"the $15,000' paid the pirexy of the University of North Carolina * For a man who was washed up 20 years ago in his bid ToF'GdVeWftTr ificktfd am of his job, and then knocked out again in 1944 by Gregg Cherry and a siege of tuberculosis, Dr. McDonald is doing all right. BILL AND BILl. . . It seems as if the Young Democrats are determined to elect a Bill as their national! . committeeman when they hold their State pow wow. Running for the'office are Bill Smith of Raleigh and Bill. Wood of Winston-Salem. Bill Wod is an attorney: Bill Smith, formerly with the State Automobile Club,'attended Need ham High School while living in Raleigh. He knows his way around politically, is a born salesman. He is now with Phillips 66. If he can sell himself as well as he sells other stuff. Bill Wood had better get moving. NOTES ....

Either the crabgrass is choking the plants out or dry weather is killing them. For that reason many of our home gardeners are resort ing to fall plantings. However, the market gardener is concern ed with low costs and high pro duction and therefore must con tinue to practice spring planting and the development of a matted row bed. , You probably have ^observed that as soon as the spring crop was harvested the old plants be gan to send out many runners which produced runner plants which caught root in the soil along the row. In the heat of late summer not many runners are produced but in September and October the runner forma tion is heavy again. However, our scientists have found that run ner plants rooted- in early sum mer will produce about twice as many berries as plants rooted in the fill. For that reason you should make an extra effort to save the early runner plants and ■ keep them growing-.

Orange County Farm Agent's Column By Don Matheson & Ed Barnes , TIME TO SEED Abundance of alfalfa and perm anent pasture grass is essential to any good livestock program. Seed ing on both of these crops should begin the last of August and should be completed by the middle of September. Early seeding will get better stands and will prevent winter killing. A. K. McAdams, Office Manager of the ASC, has just received a small additional amount of money which can be used to help farm ers seed pastures and alfalfa. He says tb?t any farmer who has not already received ASC assistance will be eligible for help with the purchase of lime, seed, and ferti lizer from this ft^d. Most people are planning to sow a mixture of 2 pounds Ladino clover and 12 pounds Ofchard grass with from 600 to 1000 pounds of M2-42 fertilizer per acre. In alfalfa, the' majority of- people are planning to use 29 pounds per acre of the Atlantic variety. They are .following the soil test recom mendations for the amount and kind of lime and fertilizer to use.

I he Ghersinichs are rite‘first of-75, Italian farm families to be brought to America by Catholic Relief Services of the National Catholic Welfare Conference for resettlement in Rock Hill, S.C."There, they are preseiuly settled on 40 acres of the 2,000 ac re trac t of the York County Farm Produce Co. along the Broad River. » •n dtis unique and ambitious project, worthy and land less Italian TamiTies wiTf I wye full opportunity to improve their economic, 'social and spiritual lives through the sweat ol their own brows The refugees find the company.prepared lartu ready to get ". f.quipment. livestock and oj>e rating capi tal, as well as land, are available to each new farm family, and balanced against the full use of existing family labor. As returns from their efforts exceed operating costs, these families are expp ted to start buying ihoir land, and may ex pand their holdings where their needs, abilities and ambitions outgrow the basic 40 acre units. f inis, there is nothing Utopian or communal about this operation, which is a pavt of the Hicktlf y Grove project of the farm and Family Foundation, the*$atter made possible by the donations of interested 'Americans, and which is un der the direction of Very Rev. Maurice Shean, C.O., Provost of the Oratorian Fathers and of this hew community. Chris tian charity provides the way, supplies the initial needs, pur chasing and marketing systems. These advantages, must he earned by the selec ted families through their own good char acter and refutation for industry. From there on, their des tiny is in their own keeping. Here, it would seem is the epitome of what America means: Give a man a c hance—and expec t him to jpake good on it. Bajancecl against their blessings, the Ghersinichs, and those Jvhp will follow them, have the responsibility of living up to the tradition of frefcdom. y f horned, first-calf heifers. The County Agent .has a cata logue and can give detailed infor mation. LIGHTNING DESTROYS BARNS The large dairy barn of W. I Suitt in the Orange Grove Com munity was completely destroyed by fire caused by lightning last Friday afternoon as was a small general purpose barn ' south of Mebane belonging to Mrs. Charles Ray the following Sunday after noon. Mr Suitt was milking his 60 cow herd in the building when it was struck and succeeded in get ting all cows out except one and three calves. The loft was filled with hay. Neighbors and two fire trucks prevented the fire from spreading to nearby out-buildings. With volunteer help Mr. Suitt was able to complete*his milking in a nearby shed by S’ o’etoclr the~fol-* lowing morning. Mr. Suitt’s' barn had lightning rods, Mrs. 'Ray’s did not. Accord ing to a technical study by the U. S, Department of Agriculture and reported in USDA bulletin No. 1512 experiments show' that properly installed lightning rods greatly reduce the hazard of the ‘recent Hre they are not or.e lightning, but as illustrated by hundred per cent effective.

This column was written be fore the writer joined other members of the Tar Heel delega tion on Saturday lor the train trip to the Windy City. This marks the first time we have eyer at tended a national political con vehtion—and also our first trip to Chicago, so there will be at , least one delegate from the coun try participating in a pfeat po litical convention with eyes wide open trying to learn and see as much as he can. A good many people have ask ed us if the Democratic party pays the expenses of the dele gates* to the national convention. The answer is, “no.” The dele gates have do pay their individ ual. expensed without any party help whatsoever. SUPREME COURT We re gard Wm. B. Rodman, Jr., as one of North Carolina’s -ablest and finest lawyers. We think Rod man a fine’ man for the State Supreme Court, but to our way of thinking, for the next few years he could have served- the - state probably better as Attorney General. In recent months the segregation issue in this state has hung heavy on the shoulders of our Attorney General and it is for this reason that we regret to see Mr, Rodman step out, even to the higher and more exalted position as a justice of th$ North Carolina Supreme Court. We say this without any knowledge , as to who Governor Hodges may appoint to succeed Rodman as At torney General. APPOINTMENT ... Rodman’s appointment to the Supreme Court again demonstrates that while membership on the State’s highest judicial tribunal is elec tive. the most likely way to get there is via appointment. Only of them topped low and are get tirflr af'rtch tfflofed leaf with good body and aroma. Dairy farmers are harvesting Sudan grass and soybeans for sil age and » few -have-begun putting up earn silage. Tpere is a lot of preparation for seeding alfalfa and pasture grass.
