Editorial And Opinion "With our present knowledge, there is little excuse or justification for dumping raw sewage in any stream today.""—IF, E.

School hoards, superintendants and principals have heen viewing with consternation the possible el'lect ol young fe males in lev is. shorts, pedal-pushers and toreador pants on classroom discipline and general concentration on the three Rs. As a result, edic ts have been promulgated in many com munities dec laiing.that the gent lei sex must answer the school belt in dresses and ;or sk ii rs. Stic It compulsion, we feel, is rather unlikely to a- hieve either decorum or application to studies. While we do.not think that the.great American Nehoolroom. should present the appearance of a Broadwav chorus at a rehearsal session, there mUjSf Ae a Sounder approach than the ultimatum.

A Negro Looks At Integration At this time when hare-brained white molts at Clinton, Term., and Sturgis, Kv.. have required restraint by the Na tional Guard, and much c5l the country lias gained the im pression that racial-mingling is the universal ambition ol Negroes, we- would like -to quote Davis t ee.

' You Can't Fat In tegration ”: “This integration-segregation issue'has stirred up bitter ness. hatred, prejudices, and has destroyed long-standing friendships. But, strange as it may seem. Fifty percent of the Negroes are not concerned about it either way. “The liberals are frothing .at the mouth and shedding. crocodile tears over the plight of the poor Negro in the South, will gladly give him integration, but won’t give him a job or provide his family with clothing or bread. “The Southerners don't want to have integration, but they will gladh give him a job and help clothe and feed his family. “The liberals will open their schools to Negro c hildren, but they won’t hire many Negroes as teachers. The South won’t admit Negro children totits schools, but they will give the Negro’his own school manned by teachers of his own race. And all of this is given to him without cost. “There are forms ol segregation that are degrading and humiliating, hut to have one’s own school and teachers is not one of them. GivitW lb- Nj,egm his own school and teachers is more in keep c* with that concept'ol freedom, justice and equal e; r t;nit> that the founding fathers had in mond that! : i an integrated system of Education.” .Mr. Lee pleads for "ample time" for adjustment. He points out that the South lias never attempted to tell the rest the nation how to run its affairs, "and in no section of the country does the Negro enjoy the educational, employment and economic opportunities which be enjoys in the South. “,The ia'ho'r unions,” he notes, “are pouring thousands of dollars into this integration movement, yet Southern Ne groes are working at jolts thatvNorthern Negroes can not get, l>ecaii.se the unions will not accept them as members. There aye, more Negro carpenters.. l»i itk-lasers and building, cott ' traitors in North and South olma-than there are in the 'A integrated states. “Negroes can't eat integration. They need .jobs.-They need the opportunity to develop their talents ... .... I he South is the only section ol this -nation that oilers .such.opportuni ties. II these liberals and agitators are the Negro’s It tends and Southern w hites are his enemies’, then someone needs'to pro tect him from his friends." — —■ ■' Something To Remember There must he places where a well-beaten path through a thicker leads to a bend in a stream ... where the hank on one side is just right lor div ing . . . .where the water is deep and eool . . . where small boys still swim in the nude, hav ing shed then shirts and overalls on the rnn .**. . where the last one in is a v el low dog. There is something elemental and unalloyed in the name, ‘.'Old Swimmin' Hole," hut many of our greatest men have known and loved these places. Boys-of swimming-hole age are quite sure that all nature—the hills, streams land woods—are part of their team. . ■ Yes, there must be, places where swimmin' holes are still being discovered. It s just that we old-timers have not been exploring real places lately—that we have deserted them for mundane things of the turbulent, confused world of grown-ups. We tan still hope albeit, if one were to go re con noi ter mg along the bank ol most any wobdsy stream on a summer day, in a secluded, tree-shaded spot he might sud denly conte upon several little piles of shirts and jeans, and then—that otue-familiar sound of splashing and laughter! ®be J2eto£S of (Grange Count?

From Chicago to Wilmington by jet two years ago showed everybody we had a bird in our hands. .JL would be. interesting to know just how many thousand mile.,- Governor Hodges has flown since that time—in almost every type of plane going. He relaxes completely while in the air. In other words, he isn’t like the old colored gentleman who took one of the over - town nights—paid for by his friends. He really didn’t want to go, was afraid* of flying—this was many years ago — but told them he would go if they would put up the $5.00. When he got down, they ask ed him how he liked it. , ‘‘Well, I don't rightly know”, he said, "for I never did let my full weight down.” Those who fly with Governor Hodges say he puts his full weight down, lets go, ajid has been known to nod a little. Incidentally, last Sunday morn ing—despite the strongest head ’ wind.- we; have had in these parts since last winter—Governor Hod ges and the missus, with several friends, took off zinging to the Southern Governors'Conference at luxurious White Sulphur Springs in West Virginia. He flew back home on Wed nesday. On Thursday: press conference .. and that evening To Asheville,’ by air, for the N.-C. Motor Car riers convention. He returns to Raleigh Saturday. _ SUGAR CREDIT ...

I *'• • « A Farewell To Farms ,*>• ■ • . i mil niniii im ii—iiiien run irn rr pfvot A Senator So«ak« Out Let's Save The Family-Size Farm' (In an article written espec ially for The Breeder - Stock man. a leading farm Senator describes the plight of our .small fanners, and advances a proposal to save their way of life.) , By W. KERR SCOTT Falling farm prices are not go ing fo stop at the city limits. We are seeing living proof of this to day in the automobile and steel industries. Strife ha.? menaced the steel industry as a result of etw ee rd over wage increases for some half million workers. A general downward trend in sale.-.- during the past few months has forced many thousands of auto workers out of'jobs. 'These events, are more than coincidence . Fewer customers for car and truck.; have forced aufomohile manufacturers to cut production. - The- steel, workers say they must have higher wages, but the producers claim the in dustry cannot afford it. In short, both the steel, and''automobile in dustries are feeling the pinch of a general tightening of bu.-iness condition—a logical and necess-. arv result When any major seg ment of our overall economy is diseased with sub-standard in come. Whatever t h e complicated charts and graphs of the econo mist might show in the case of - these industries, we cannot avoid the fact that the continuous de cline in farm income is begin- . ning to have its effects, on the rest of our economy. This year alone, farm income is over three billion dollars yhort of what it should be for a healthy^ farm economy. This means, sim ply. that farmers have three billion dollars less with which to buy new cars, tractors, combiner, ploys, appliances and the other fruits of industry that are necess ary for modern farming opera tions. Families Suffer Most In addition'*'to the bitter fact that our overall farm economy is three billion dollars below par, statistics gathered by the U S. Department of Agriculture show very clearly that farm income is lowest in those areaj of the na tion where small family-size farmers make up the bulk of rural population. The family-size farmer is one of. our best citizens. For the most pa'rt, he owns his farm,‘and he live.- and works on his farm. His children work with him c.n the farm and make the whole operation a family project. The family-size farmer takes pride in home and his farm; He • takes pride in the schools and churches of his community and0works to improve them. And from our family-size farms come many of our leaders in business and the professions. In every sense of the word, our family-size farms produce the raw material for a better way of life for all of us So, basically, our farm prob lems are problems of the small family-.ize farm. If we cart once again make the family-size farm a profitable business enterprise. . then we 'will have a •strong, vigor-' “ ous agricultural economy. For this reason. I think it is mandatory to attack our farm”' problems at the family-size farm level. Now Legislation With the_‘3 thoughts in mind, I recently introduced legislation that would set up a system of graduated price supports. It is a Circus Under Canvas Not Dead The Circus Fans Association of America is anxious to destroy the idea prevalent since the an nouncement of the closing of Ringling Brothers and Barrnum & Bailey Circus that the tented cirrcu.> is \\ thing of thevpast. Its public relations director has made, the following appeal as reported in the, circus fans magazine, The White Top: “We have many excellent cir cuses under canvas across the country. We feel that children of all ages- will have "an oppor tunity to see the circus under canvas for a great many years to come. The youngsters will still be able to help put up the tents, etc., although the circus in most * . cases- will arrive by truck. They offer a more intimate perform-^ a.nce—^ith circus all the way! “One of the outstanding truck shows is Hunt Brothers Circus, now on thefr 64th annual tour and Stitt headed by the founder —Charles T. Hunt, £r. Other truck showo- include the A1 G. Kelly & Miller Brothers .Circus; Mills Brothers Circus; Cristiani Brothers Circus; Hagen Brothers Circus; and Beer.* Barnes Circus. “The Clyde Beatty Circus, which cancelled it’s tour some weeks go, will return to tha road-by rail under new manage ment. They plan an opening un der canvas at Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Augu.-t 30th—with a revamped performance which will include Clyde Beatty and his wild animal act. Following the close of the show late in November, it will set up winter quarters in Sarasota, Florida. Frank McClosky will be general manager. “Early in 1967 a new circus under canvas will take to- the road—the performance will be presented in one ring with two side stages, European style. It is being framed by Sk John Ter rell -of Lambertville, N. Jv “Yes! the circus under "Tan vas is still, and will be, a part of the American scene.” system ' that is patterned along the lines of our income tax laws. Under our income tax laws, people pay according to their ability to pay. The larger the in come. the more the income tax. • Under a system of graduate 1 price supports, the larggr the farmer, the less price support benefits he receives. In other words, a farmer who produced 1,000 bales of cotton would get less price* support benefits than a. farmer who produced 50 bales, or 25 bales. The bill I introduced sets- up specific schedules ”of graduated price-supports for cotton and wheat. I think similar schedules could be worked out for ■ other basic commodities if it is deter mined that this is the aeeeptab’e course to take. —• The graduated supports would work-as follows in respect to wheat: . For the first 1.000 bushels, 100 per cent of parity. On.th? nekt. 500 bushels, 95 per cent: on the nekt 500 bushels. 90 per cent; on the next. 500 bushels, 85 per- cent; oh the next 500 bushel.-. 80 per cent; on the next 500 bushels, 75 per cent; !on the next 500 bushels, 70 per cent; on the next 500 bushels, 65 per cent: and all over 4.500 bushels, 60 per cent. Two Main Benefits There are two things,' I think, such a system of graduated price supports would do .that neither a system of flexible supports nor a system of rigid supports have done. i iro-t of all. the small family size farmer would receive 100 per cent of parity .for the large part of his production. This would put badly needed purchas ing power into the hands of thousands of small, family-size farmers. Secondly, such a system of sup ports would discourage large cor poration farmers from producing strictly for the purpose of selling to the government. Mainly, a system of graduated price supports would put addition al prop.- under the smaller farm ers, the place they are needed most. AvtrWe Incomas In 19?l, the realized net in come of farms throughout the United States averaged $2,316. Net farm income ranged from an average of $941 in West Virginia to $15,380 in Arizona. Of the 16 states in the South Atlantic and South Central reg mns, oniy three-Texas, Florida and Delaware—ha«t average net farm income above the national average. The remaining 13 states —Maryland, Virginia, West Vir ginia, Ndrth Carolina, South ear °lina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennes see, Alabama, Mississippi, Ark anf«n v?'8*8"3, and OUahoma -Ml below the national aver These figures clearly show .«» - -II,, - - -- _ ^ ■ Tar Heel PEOPLE & ISSUES u By Cliff Blue [_ - - Jl '.I-™*—— 25th ANNIVERSARY . . .

In the Journ al building is Ike London, editor of the Rockingham Post-Dispatch, which the Cadieus bought from London in 1953 London started the Post-Dispatch in 1917 and he told us that they planned a whop ping 40th anniversary celebration in December 1957. Ike is old tim ey. hut edits a most interesting newspaper. He is unique in many way. In his head, and in his small office he has a tremendous amout of valuable data and infor mation concerning Richmond County and the people therein. In his 39 years in Rockingham he has developed into a personal in stitution. ELECTIONS . . Ike London handles the election news from Richmond County for the state newspapers.
