Must We Have Another Scott
Many people living today owe their lives,
without a doubt, to the person who first
thought of putting a center-line down high
. ways as an aid to driving. You seldom think
of how much help the center-line is, most
,■ probably, unless you happen to hit a streak
of road which doesn’t have it.
A good many of the secondary roads pav
■. ^Id in the past few years have no such driv
| ing aids. We were on one the other night
| where it was impossible to tell where the
f pavement stopped and the dirt shoulder be
? gan. In the headlights, both shoulder and
I pavement had a gray color much the same.
5 I The difficulty in driving on such a road is
> * greatly enlarged when lights from approach*
ing cars hamper vision.
I Center-lines may have been left off these
ft I secondary roads as a matter of economy. If,
I that be the case, somebody is indulging in
I the falsest kind. Economy in measures is to
f protect human life just, doesn’t pay. People
■ ‘ are going to drive just as fast on these paved
roads as on the main highways, and most of
them need the center-line worse. v
Here’s hoping we don’t have to elect a Mr.
Scott back as governor to get a stripe put
down on his roads.—E.B.
Anybody Got A Match?
The speculative controversy on the cigar*
; ette-lung cancer connection which filled the -
„ daily papers and radio a few weeks back has*
% apparently died down with nobody getting
completely out os a limb either way. it’s just
as well. The greatest effect it could have la
determining .whether a man smokes with a
worried mind or peacefully believing it does
n’t hurt him. He’ll smoke either way.
If he wouldn’t, a definite report from
scientists that smoking caused lung cancer
would have drastic economic consequences in
our section, where production of cigarette to
bacco is the main farm activity.
But we don’t have to worry too much,
because: man’s Vanity is involved! It’s prob
ably a safe bet that about nine and a half out
of every 10 persons who smoke used their first
cigarettes because they thought it made them
look older, more sophisticated, more interest
ing, or like somebody they admired. As long
as beginners will weather the sick-dizziness
which inhaling tobacco smoke gives them
immediately, what chance is there that prom
ise of possible future sickness will make them
stop after the habit is established? Men do
things every day for vanity, or pleasure, which
kill many every year, without holding back.
We have a funny way of looking at those
things, too—it’s always the other fellow who
has the bad hick. Or, “If I can’t do a little
something I want to, I might as well be dead.”
If it’s ever proved cigarettes are killing
us, there’s little hope for saving us from our
selves. About the only people who might take
a stab at it are insurance companies who have
a dollar-and-cents interest in how long we
live. Their only hope lies in hitting at the
vanity angle. -*
Maybe they could pull a switch on the
beautiful women and famous men seen con
stantly in cigarette ads and commercials. Per
haps, portray that dark brown taste in the
morning with the resulting frown and grouch.
Or, show somebody enjoying his morning
coughing and hacking spell. A set of evenly
browned teeth on some otherwise pretty
lady might be effective. Anything to show
smoking as a filthy, unattractive, de-glamoriz
ing pastime.
It can be argued that it would be best if
science is never able, to prove we’re fumigat
ing ourselves to death. Since it wouldn’t stop
us, it might worry us, as we smoked on our
way, to the point we were changed from an
optimistic nation to a pessimistic people.

A Kind Deed Done
Mrs. Annie Lucas, 66-year-old seamstress
of Stone Harbor, N. J., had taken in sewing
for some time to accumulate the money to visit
her sister in England. Recently, she boarded
the Queen Mary and headed for Southhamp
ton.
, As the Queen Mary neared the end of the
voyage,. Mrs. Lucas still had $850 in her small
pocketbook, and things seemed to be proceed
ing normally. But she went on deck' on. a
very windy day, and didn’t figure on the
tricks the wind plays.,
To her horror, a gust of wind suddenly
blew her little pocketbook into the ocean as
she stood at the rail. As the wind carried her
purse into the ocean, the savings that had
been earned to bring her to England to see
her sister disappeared beneath the green
water. -
It looked as if Mrs. Lucas’ trip might be
at an early end. Her savings had come hard,
and the dress-making business had not been
an easy one for a woman with an invalid hus
band. However, passengers aboard the Queen
Mary heard her story. They succeeded in col
lecting almost $500 for Mrs. Lucas.
When she stepped off the ship in Eng
land, she had .that much money donated from
the passengers in her new purse. It was not
$850, but it allow her to see her sister, whom
she had not seen for forty-four years. All of
which proves that people do have a heart, and
that the world is not such a had place to Hve
in,afteralL

CRESTED IRIS '

Crested Iris '
Is Beautifuls
Pale Violet
From late April through : May
and sometimes into June rich
woodlands, bluffs and bottomlands
of southeastern United States may
boast a beautiful iris that' may
to some rival the Blue Flai of
the wetter marshlands. Thg range
of this attractive? flower extends
from the District of Columbia west
to Indiana and Missouri and south
to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missjasip
---- " frit-'
pi, Alabama and North Carolina.
While the possibly better-known
Blue flag may reach a height of
3 feet or more, oar subject, the
Crested Dwarf Iris, rarely exceeds
6 inches in height It is therefore
most appropriately named as a
dwarf iris. The flowers of the
Crested Iris are daintily colored
and rather fragile in appearance;
The flowers are pale violet. The
crested character which appears
in the name stems from the na
ture of the broader outer divisions
of the flowers.
The leaves of this splendid plant
may be up to 1 inches long and
about 1/2 inch wide. They are
flat, pointed with unbroken mar
gins and instead of standing erect
may spread somewhat, thus reduc
ing the total height of the plant.
They may sheath the flowering
stems which are themselves only
up to about 3 inches long and bear
1 or 2 flowers.
The fruit, which is formed dur
ing early summer, is pointed at
each end, definitely triangular in
cross section, about 1/2 inch thick
and to 9/4 of an inch long. It bears
many flattened crowded seeds. '
The matter of cross pollination
is effected by a rather intricate
News of the Negrtf
Population
(By Mrs. Maud* Komegay)
Mrs. Delia Kilpatrick of Alexan
dria, Va:, came Tuesday to attend
the graduation of her sister. Miss
Bettie Joyce Hunter, at Carver
i school.
[ The Rev. G. W. Todd, pastor of
Mount Calvary Baptist church at
Goldsboro, visited here Thursday.
Prof. S. B. Simmons of the ag
riculture department' of AAT col
lege, Greensboro, visited here last
Monday and Tuesday.
Mrs. Essie Pearl Rogers of
Washington has been visiting here
for several days.
News was received Friday of
the death of Sam Carr in Norwood,
Conn., Thursday night. He was the
son of the late Mrs. Lucy Carr.
The body arrived Sunday morning
and the funeral service was con
ducted Sunday evening from Saint
Mark Free Will Baptist church with
the Rev. Moses Kornegay officiat
ing. Burial followed in the Benevo
lent eemetery. Surviving him is
one sister, Miss Maggie Carr.
I C. F. Grady went to N. C. col
lege, Durham, Thursday to ac
company his daughter, Lavon-De,
home. *
Miss Mary Brite Johnson, a re
cent graduate of Carver, left Sun
day night for .Wasaic, N. Y., to
spend the summer.
The senior missionary circle of

i arrangement whereby the stamens
, are hidden under the spreading
tips of the pistil. Insects probing
to the base of the pistil for .food
find themselves dusted with pol
len which they rub off on the pistil
as they leave but more likely when
they visit another flower and con
tinue their search for a meal. It
should be easier to investigate the
pollination story of an irirs' by us
ing the common Blue Flag or even
some garden iris. Besides it seems
a shame to destroy an atractive
wild iris to learn a lesson which
may be mastered for the most
| part by using grosser, more abun
dant flowers to be found in almost
| any garden in early summer,
j As is the case w[th most irises,
the underground part of the Crest
ed Dwarf Iris is a substantial hori
zontal structure swollen at the end
of a year’s growth. This portion
of the plant of course lives v from
year to year. It is relatively
slender when compared with' simi
lar structures of other irises but
this may be in keeping with the
dwarfed character of the whole
plant
