H. Blue announced yesterday. Poole's Medley BY D. SCOTT POOLE L The North was able to mani pulate business, so they bought cotton cheap and had low priced cotton and cheap labor to manu facture goods, protected by law against imported goods. The South might have had lower prices. This country is better off now than it has been and is paying its war debt. If the country is not ruined by the Cotton Exchange it will soon be over its worst troubles. President Roosevelt came near stopping the manipulation of farm produce prices, or the govern ment did for some years, but they have broken loose, this fall for gains. More roguery is practiced in cotton price tumbles then In any other business. Drunkenness is on the Increase. The number convicted for driv ing drunk In the state shows this. Highway accidents also show an increase In drinking In toxicants. Would that people would all take leave of intoxi cants. People are organizing against buying on the markets of the high priced meats, pork, and es pecially beef. I think a reduc tion of about 25 per cent in the price of all meats would be near common sense. "Blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called the chil dren of God." Uriah Keep spoke PIANIST AT FMC I tf'u 5 -A J ; fri vrC' I ' , , f , ROSALYN TURECK, brilliant young American pianist, who will appear at Flora Macdonald College on Monday evening, No vember the 18th, at 8:15, as the first number of the 1946-47 con cert lecture series. Miss Tureck has risen at the age of 31 to the very peak of piano achievement, and is listed as "one of the greatest living interpreters of Bach." The fact that Miss Tu reck knows and plays every composition of Bach with im peccable technique would be a re.-narkable achievement at any age, but for one of Tureck's youth it is phenominal. Teen-Age Group Enjoys Dance With the following hostesses the high school teen-age boys and girls were entertained at a square dance at the gymnasium last Friday evening: .Mesdames R. A. Matheson, R. B. Lewis, K. A. MacDonald, I. Mann, W. T. Gibson, L. M. Upchurch and Dwight Brown. Approximately ' 100 boys and girls were present and enjoyed the music furnished by W. W. McLean, Dan Mclnnis and D. H. Yarborough. John Parker cal led the figures and Clara Gib son, Mrs. Kate McPhaul and Bill Jones acted as instructors. This was the first square dance for many of the boys and girls and they are anxious for another one. a mouthful when he said "It takes two to make a quarrell, and I'll not be a party to it." Treat with absolute indifference any man who would insult you, for he is not a gentleman. No one but a gentleman is worthy of notice, and no GENTLEMAN ever of fers an insult. No man has any spare time In fact most men have insuf ficient time in which to do all they feel called upon to do. Lost time is lost forever. All the time you have lived is now in the eternity behind you, end you can not recall a single moment of it. Habit is a tearfully strong force and may be established for your great benefit or to your painful detriment Forty, fifty, or more years, I lay abed only five hours each night, and for the past fifteen I desire to re main in bed longer, but I find I cannot sleep, although sleepy. His owner will appreciate you more if you are kind to his dog, which shows that very little things help to raise you in the estimation of your neighbors. It is a pity if a man is not apprecia ted in his neighborhood. A calf a day old will not go near a well without a curb, but a year old baby will walk or crawl into the ugliest dungeon. There came a football team here from Red Oak in Wayne county and played a game.

He was one of the drivers on the hunt, and as he walked along between some woods and field he ran across enough tracks to have been made by a whole herd of deer. Be ginning to get excited and having no dog McGoogan took off on the trail himself. He soon had to give this up. Jjbut happened to run into onej j Dave Jones, who, luckily, had ! j a pair of deer hounds with j; him. The two of them went ;; Bback to where the tracks werej! J: thickest and, after some coa-( j xing, got the dogs to at least j leave the spot, apparently!; i tracking the herd of deer. I !

Governor Puis Okay On Good Health Program NORTH CAROLINA STARS ON BROADCAST SATURDAY Enthusiastic approval of the proposed good health program for North Carolina has been voiced by Governor R. Gregg Cherry. "The time is now ripe for tackling this big problem of health," Cherry taid Saturday night in a state-wide radio ad dress opening the Good Health Association's educational pub licity campaign. 'Certainly, in the past and under less oppor tune conditions we have met the challenge. In our poverty we built a great school system. In spite of our debts and deficits we built a great public highway system. Now we should com plete the triangle and build a great health system." Observing that the foundation for "a balanced and more hu mane program for more adequate medical care was laid at the 1945 session of the General As sembly," Cherry said that the next Legislature meeting in Jan uary "will face the responsibili ty of developing the program." The Good Health broadcast on which the Governor appeared originated in Hollywood and featured all North Carolina stars there. Kay Kyser, of Rocky Mount, served as master of cere monies. An estimated million listeners throughout the state comprised the radio audience. Kyser lauded the efforts of Good Health leaders in the drive for a program of better health for North Carolina. "A beacon light is being lit," he said, "which will lead the way for other states to follow a pre cedent in American history is being established." For the remarks of Governor Cherry, the program was swit ched from Hollywood to Raleigh where a number of Good Health leaders met with civic and state government heads to listen to the broadcast. Dr. I. G. Greer, of Thomas ville, superintendent of the Bap tist Orphanage there and nresi- dent of the Good Health Associ ation, introduced Gov. Cherry. "North Carolina's number one need is good health," Dr. Greer stated. "And the state is going to do something about it. Big people, little people, rich people, poor people all are Join ing hands together and nothing can stop this progressive march." 1 KIWANIANS TO SEE FILM Captain L. R. Robinson, U. S.
