TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE
Those who own their own homes in this period
of inflated values and housing shortage, are very
fortunate. But a large percentage of them have
become overly complacent. They own their homes,
yes. Yet they neglect to adequately protect them
selves in case of fire. The fire insurance industry is
making a concerted effort to impress upon all home
owners that fire insurance policies should be checked
periodically to see if they reflect current values. In
the last few years property values have risen 30 to
60 per cent or more. A home that was fully insured
ten years ago is probably not much more than half
insured today. If it is destroyed by fire, the owner
would awaken to the sickening realization that re
placement on the strength of his outdated insurance
would be impossible.
So don't procrastinate. Appraise your insurance
policies immediately. Don't jeopardize the most im
portant element of security for yourself and your
family your home.
People buy insurance for protection. Fire insur
ance companies would be subject to criticism if they
did not warn the public when inflation undermines
that protection.

HEADED FOR TROUBLE
In spite of this country's great wealth of men, ma
chines, natural resources and technical ability, we
are headed for trouble. The principle reason for
the trouble is that in the wake of the war there is a
crying need for everybody to work harder and longer
than ever before and perhaps suffer a decline in liv
ing standards to boot, but nobody seems willing to
do so. The theme song is shorter hours, higher wages,
lower taxes.
However, unless more work and higher production
accompanies wage raises, nothing has been gained.
As Mr. Bernard Baruch said, "To make the take- home
worth while, more things at lower prices must be pro
duced. That is up to labor more than management.
Unless each man produces more for what he receives,
increases his output, there will be less for him and all
the others. Each one will receive more money but have
fewer things. . . .Who gets any advantage if goods are
not produced faster than wages are advanced and mon
ey printed?"
What has been happening in the coal industry gives
point to Baruch's warning. Mine operators, knowing
they were bucking an irresistible trend, offered the
miners wage increases and shorter hours in conform
ity with settlements in the steel and automotive indus
tries. This was before the latest coal strike. The offer
would have added between 100 and 150 million dollars
to the cost of producing bituminous coal in the course
of 12 months, all of which would have been added onto
the nation's fuel bill because the profit margin in coal
can be squeezed no thinner. However, the strike went
on for even higher stakes. The union now demands a
10 cents royalty or excise tax on every ton of coal,
which would also have to be paid by the consumer.
The royalty would put fifty million dollars annually
into the hands of the union - more money than the
bituminous coal industry netted after taxes, in 1943,
the most recent year for which he figures are available.
Thus there will probably be less coal at a higher
price, when all that stands between the country and
uncontrolled inflation is high production at a minimum
price. This probability of less goods at higher and
higher prices will become a certainty in all lines of
industry if steps are not taken to curb the monopolis
tic power of the modern labor union.

Avery Develops New
Seed Potato Trade
The Avery County Potato
Growers Association already
this year has shipped 5,000
bags of certified Sequoia va
riety seed potatoes for $7,
200 and has rejected orders
for three additional carloads
because of insufficient sup
ply, it was reported by C. B.
Baird of the State College
Extension Service, Avery
County Agent.
Many other Avery grow
ers also have sold certified
potato seed in independent
transactions. Baird declar
ed that opportunity for ex
pansion of the potatao seed
business is 'almost limitless.'
The growers association
sacks its product in labeled
bags bearing the woven out
line of the state and its
rminHfvc: Onlv neennintinn
mpmhP,; riding t
to use the labeled bags, the
county agent said.
Most of the seed stock for
sale are bagged and graded
at a central warehouse in
jewiand. smaller growers
use hand potato graders and
bag the certified seed on the
farm
Some of the county's grow
ers have reported incomes
from the Sequoia variety
seed as fellows: John Cal
houn, $1,967 from four acres;
H. D. Horney, $3,000 from
six acres, and T. H. Tillman,
$2,000 from four acres.
Tillman and Colhoun last
year adopted the practice
of improving their product
through the tuber "unit"
method of careful seed se
lection. Other growers al
so are planning to make seed
plots this year in order to
improve home-saved seed.
Horner's Supporters
Optimistic
Sanford, May 4 (Special)
Developments at the State
Democratic convention in
Raleigh on Thursday have
added renewed confidence
to the hopes of supporters
of W. E. (Bill) Horner, Lee
county's candidate for Con
gress from the Eighth Dis
trict in the Democratic pri
mary, May 25.
Newsmen commen'ed on
the fact that ITorncr wvs the
only Congressional candidate
present who had a headquar
ters at the convention, and
regarded it as significant of
the thorough organization
the Lee legislative veteran
has built up in his district.
Impartial political analy
sis at the convention, aftei
talking to delegates from
Eighth District counties, es
timated that Horner is lead
ing in eight of the 12 coun
ties, is about even in two
others, and has a good chance
to capture another.

Bread Saved
ATLANTA, Ga., May 8. A

ner slices and cutting each
slice in two with a resul
tant waste reduction and by
