ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS • Happenings That Affect the Future of Every Individ ual Nation and International Problems Insepar able From Local Welfare. • On Wednesday, July 21, newspapers and radio commentators noted that for the first time in 23 years there had been a cessation of fighting all over the world. But the peace is an uneasy one in deed, and there are many who wonder just how large a price has been paid for it. Whether the Indo-China truce was a great victory, a stunning defeat, or something in between those extremes depends on where you sit. According to an AP dispatch, Europe and Asia greeted it “with mingled relief, distaste and optimism.’’ The relief is caused by the end of the bloodletting, the distaste comes from the concessions France was forced to make at Geneva—concessions that would have seem ed absolutely inconceivable even a year or two ago. The optimism is felt in two camps—by the com munists, who gained a huge, rice-rich area in which some 13,000,000 people live, and by those who be live that the communist and non-communist worlds can honestly settle their differences at council tables, eventually end the cold war, and prevent future hot wars. A view held by many informed Americans, both in and out of the government, was expressed in these words by John M. Hightower of the AP: “The United States and its allies lost a great battle ... in the long range conflict with communism. They lost because they could not command the united will and the power to win the fight for Northern Indo-China.” That “will to win” element was the heart of the matter. Our military people felt and feel that France had the necessary resources. It is true that she had suffered terrible losses in the prolonged Indo-China war, as we did in Korea—but at the same time she had tough well-trained troops backed with virtually all-out American support so far as materials and sup plies were concerned. France was simply weary to death of war and Mendes-France peace at any price policy undoubtedly reflected the feeling of the na tion. Conversely to quote Mr. Hightower again “There was no apparent lack of will on the part of the Com munists who had been fighting for an equally long time.” At the White House press conference following the truce President Eisenhower made a very signi ficant statement. He said that this settlement makes it necessary for the free world to look at' the facts in the face and decide what must be done to assure its survival. That means of course that American policy is undergoing rigorous examination and over haul. The apparently insoluble differences that were displayed at Geneva between the United States. Britain and France certainly proved to be among the greatest assets the Communist bargainers had. There were no differences over policy on their side. It is certainly clear that if Indo-China is to be the end of Communist aggression—and the President intimated that it must be—the wide rift in free world thinking and acting must be mended. No one minimizes the difficulties this involves. But it is as essential a task as the nations concerned have ever faced. v News For Veterans Veterans have repaid in full 684,623 GI loans, for homes, farms, and businesses, totalling more than S3 billion in the past decade of the GI loan program, Veterans Ad ministration announced. The 684,623 loans repaid as of June 25, 1954, represents nearly 19 per cent of the 3,632,518 loans made totalling $23.9 billion. This high rate of repayment is matched by the low rate of claims VA has paid on foreclosed loans— 32,574, or less than one per cent, of the total number of loans made.

Although the majority of the loans repaid are for homes, more business loans have been paid off percentage-wise. More than 135,714 business loans, or 63 per cent of the 214, 544 loans made, have been paid back in full. Total amount of the business loans repaid is more than $332.9 million out of $577.7 million bor rowed by veterans.

Fifteen percent, or 512,090 of the 3,351,643 home loans made since 1944 have been repaid in full. Money-wise, nearly $2 7 bil lion has been repaid out of $23.1 billion borrowed. GI home loans are usually written with 15 to 30 year terms. As for farm loans, veteran-farm ers have repaid 36,819 loans total ling $108 million out of 66,331 farm loans totalling $257 million that have been closed since 1944.

This happened in Northern Siberia on June 30, 1908. It was the most destructive visitor to strike the earth in modern times. It struck near the Stony Tungusta river in a sparsely settled region of North ern Russia. inis was one oi our visitors from outer space and it had the people who watched the seismo graphs, an instrument for record ing earthquakes, in a tizzie. They knew something had happened i somewhere on or in the earth. Their instruments had acted up in such a way that they were con vinced it was not an earthquake. The disturbance was recorded in St. Petersburg, London, Paris, Ber lin and other places throughout the world 'including San Francisco. This castastrophe was a meteor ana was seen by a man who lived to tell the story. This writer had the privilege of seeing and hearing this little, swiveled-up emaciated Russian peasant tell his story. Some investigators and scientists had in terviewed him and made a film strip fend recording of this visit. This was shown in the Morehead Planetarium at Chapel Hill. In passing let me say this is a wonderful show. They give replicas of how they think this meteor look ed as it hit Siberia. The meteor appears so sudden that you are not prepared for it and you will most likely jump out of your seat. Most people who see it will let out a yell and scream. It’s worth a trip up there to see it and they also have a fine display of fairly large and small meteorites that have hit the earth in times past. This little Russian spoke in brok en English but you could under Rones Chapel (By Mrs. A. H. Carter) Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Aycock of Fremont, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Fields and daughter Mary Janet of Goldsboro visited Mr. and Mrs. Russell Whitfield Sunday. Miss Mamie King of Faison spent the weekend with Miss Iris Under hill. Miss Mary Katherine Edwards and Mr. Thigpen of Beulaville visited Miss Alma Jean Whitfield Sunday. Mrs. Gaynell Smith of Goldsboro and Mrs. Theria McPhail of Mount Olive spent Monday with Mr. and Mrs. Aldine Whitfield. Mr. and Mrs. Aldine Whitfield and Miss Susan Abbott visited Mrs. Louise Bullock and Roy Keith Whitfield at McCain Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Carter spent Tuesday at Lake Waccamaw. stand him as he talked very slow and described what happend in this lonely far-off land.. • He was sitting on his porch when all of a sudden there was a fierce sudden light, brighter than the sun, then a wave of hot sear ing wind that knocked him to the ground, seared his face and set his clothes afire. It almost demolished his little house. Then a terrible crash came. All this happened 150 miles from his place and was a terrible destruction. a picture was maue later Dy ex plorers and scientists. They de scribed the scene as a site of a terrible explosion. All the trees were laid flat for miles and miles and they all pointed toward a com mon center. One man lost a herd of reindeer. If this thing had occurred later it would have hit the center of the great city of Moscow. It is not pleasant to imagine what would happen if such a missile fnom the skies should score a bulls-eye on a big city. Fortunately, the celestial artillery has very few such bolts in its arsenal and big cities are small dots on the earth’s broad face and therefore hard to hit. We have shooting stars, falling stars, big ones and little ones. They all come from outer space. The big spectacular fire balls are some of these. They come through our at mosphere by the millions, but a layer of protection surrounding the earth is all that protects us from sudden and immediate death. We should be thankful for this 200 miles of celestial armor plate. These visitors make pretty good time—probably 30 or 40 miles per second. When they reach the 100 mile earth covering they immedi ately burn up due to the atmospher ic friction they encounter. In the years past it has been calulated that tremendous large meteors hit the earth from every direction. There is no doubt that some of our lakes in Eastern North Carolina were formed after giant meteors had hit the earth with terrific force. Some day we may de cide to dig down hundreds of feet below these lakes and find the bur ied meteor. A peculiar thing about meteors is that they have always hit in isolated, non-inhabited areas. No person has ever been recored as being killed by one. A man in Pennsylvania had one to burst through the hood of his car, but he was not injured. The car was wrecked and the meteor was found near the accident. Meteorites of unknown size—ex ploding as they fell—have left great scars on the earth. One in Arizona, another in South West Africa, one was recently discovered in Northern Quebec and also one in Greenland. ‘Time to stop Yes. it is time to stop, the wasting away oi precious topsoil on farmlands. Why lose income and see land values go down when so many lead* lng farmers have proved—time and again—that proper conservation practices mean more profit It's often the difference between profit and loss from farming. Mark Twain said. "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything."
