Miss Myrom Clinard of Ball Brothers
Co., will give a canning demonstra
tion which will Include fruits, yyld
and non-acid vegetables. A number
of women in the coUnty remember
very pleasantly Miss Clinard’s meat
calming demonstration which idle
gave in February. Her combination
of sound, scientific training, a rural
background, and experience in teach
ing women and girls hows to preserve
their food so that it will keep,
qualifies her for effective public
work. She expresses herself clearly,
has a pleasing personality, and works
with deft, sure movements.
All homemakers in the county are
invited to see the demonstration but
all food preservation leaders from
home demonstration clubs, 4-H club
girls, homemakers from tenant pur
chase families, county supervisors of
W. P. A., who have charge of school
lunches and the N. Y. A. supervisors
are urged to attend the training
school.
It is hoped that a large audience
will be present for the demonstration
as we are sure that it will be very
helpful to all those who attend.

New York probably has more sales
men per square foot than any other
city in the world. In addition to the
thousands of salesmen regularly at
tached to manufacturing and whole
sale houses, there are over 7,000
men and women engaged in inde
pendent street selling. The street is
their place, of business and the pass
ers by are their customers. Their
activities include every type of sell-
ipg from that of licensed and respect
able street peddlers with their push
cart store-on-wheels to the glib-
tongued elusive “pitch” men who
make a circus midway but of New
York streets at times.
Street peddling is big business in
new York. Down at the Department
of Markets, where licenses are is
sued, they estimate that the' side
walk sellers do a total business of
over $18,000,000 a year. Earnings
of an individual may run from $5
to $50 per week. The big earning
group is teat of the pushcart ped
dlers who are practically always at
the same stand. Certain streets are
lined with pushcarts and the pro
prietors are practically as well known
as the merchants who operate stores
on the other side of the sidewalk.
The Department of Markets estimates
that the pushcart merchants sales
volume totals around $13,000,000 a
year. The other $5,000,000 in sales
is made by the “wanderers” who
roam the streets with wagon, push
cart or basket, Stopping long enough
to make a sale but no longer.
So widespread is street peddling in
New York that it is almost impossible
to go anywhere by street, subway,
•bridge, or tunnel without running the
sales gauntlet. Most cities have the
newspaper sellers and a scattering of
sidewalk salesmen but in New York
one may buy practically any neces
sity of life without once entering the
store. Street sellers will supply the
man with razor and soap for the
morning shave, neckties, scarf, gloves,
flowers or books for his best girl,
tricks and gadgets wh^eby to amaze
his friends, static remover for his
radio, toys for his nephews and
nieces, shoe polish and shoe lace?,
words to the latest popular songs and
an endless variety of novelties. For
the lady there is food for the house
hold, aprons, curlers, kitchen equip
ment, potted plants, pictures for the
wall and practically everything but
pianos.
If a citizen of New York walks'
abroad in the rain, he may buy a
raincoat or an umbrella from a side
walk salesman. If the sun is bright,
a few steps bring him to a seller of
sun glasses. If he trudges through
the snow, overshoes, gloves and ear
muffs are available at the curb.
Unlicensed, uncounted and unreg
imented are the members of the
third division of New York’s street
sellers—the “pitch” men. The origin
of the term is not definitely known
but it is generally thought that it
comes from the carnival booth wh^e
hoops and rings are pitched at prizes.
In New York it denotes a street
salesmM who sells an article of a
novel or tricky nature. He has no
repeat customers. Today he sells
hwe, tomorrow he catches a newj
crowd of customers at a spot two
miles away. His chief characteris
tics are quick wits, leather lungs and
^oat, and a firm belief in the old
idea that there’s a sucker born every
minute, pe stands firm in support
of every man’s right tb ^ve his
money for nothing when he thinks he
is going to get something for nothing.
Inquiries among my New York
leridS te'&'eal that an afeazihg num
ber have bought articles from the
sidewalk pitch men at one time or
another—juice extractors, lettering
charts, little dogs that bark when
demonstrated on the sidewalk and
become stranglely silent when you
get them home, even “five dollar
bills for a nickel.” And you should
see my “pencil trimmer.” It will
break the lead of any pencil right
down to the eraser in one continuous
motion.

DO YOU KNOW:
That the county maangers of one
of the candidates for governor are
saying that their candidate has been
in the service of the State as a
State Officer for 41 years and that
that means efficiency; but that the
managers of the opposing candidates
are saying that that is long enough
for one man to remain on the State
pay-roll and that their candidate
should have the office for governor.
The people will decide the matter
May the 25th.
That March was the 6th consecu
tive month in which the number
deaths by auto accidents were greater
than in the corresponding months of
the previous year. In March alone,.
2,440 deaths occurred by autos.
That That there seem to be a close
relation between the sale of whiskey
and auto accidents; a chart of both
will show that as liquor sales go up
au]to accidents increase.
Those who expected to see the
ABC Liquor system enforce its laws
and do away with bootlegging will
be disappointed to see that this week
a man was arrested for attempting
to haul on a truck 81 cases of federal
liquor from one ABC section into an
other ABC county.
That the United States has 68 per
cent of the automobiles of the world,
or one motor vehicle to every four
persons. This compares with an av
erage of one motor vehicle to every

That Johnston county that adopt

vote of 4074 to 3768, has by a pe
tition of 5,914 voters called for an
other vote to attempt to drive out the
ABC sores. The elecion will likely
come in June, and the election wiU
likely throw the ABC stores out,
since more are calling for this second
vote than voted for the stores in 1937.
