PAUL DICKSON Editor and Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Raeford, N. C., under the Act of March 3, J870. lUUei^ RoundiQip By Eula Nixon Greenwood .Doctors Under Burecmcrats MARCEL DUPRE ■t •T« According to an AP dispatch from London, “Britain’s na tional health service^the world’s biggest experiment in socialized medicine—is undergong a strain.” That strain, in the view of Health Minister Bevan, results from the fact that “too many are demanding too much.” In other words, people are working on the theory that they may as well visit the doctor whether they are sick or not, because “free” medical service is coming to them. This situation has reached so ex treme a point that Mr. Bevan issued a public statement in which he said: “Don’t let us become a nation of hypochon driacs. I ask the public to use their doctors wisely and only wh^ they really heed them.” . ' It is also evident that the cost of providing allegedly “free” health service for all is approaching a critical point. The government’s original forecast was that the bill would run to 150,000,000 pounds a year. But the actual cost, according to the British Medical Association, will exceed 250,000,00^ pounds. The most important thing, of course, is just what Britain’s socialistic experiment is dong to the standards of medical care. And here, too, some significant and authoriative information is available. Lord Horder, physician in ordinary to the royal family, has this to say: “Medicine in Britain has become a branch of the civil setvice. We are no longer medical experts; we sit and sign forms. We have no time to diagnose our pa tients’diseases; but pass them on to other persons and in situation, knowing full well that they cannot dispense the health benefits which may or may not be needed.” So there is the latest example of socialized medicine— overworked doctors, soaring costs, poorer treatment, and bu reaucracy rampant. Shall the United States follow that sorry example? There are definite statements that an all-out effort will be made to force Congress to take this step' along the socialization route.

Upchurch School News ■ \ A state Colored dentist is at the Upchurch school this week and will be in some of the other Colored schools for the next two weeks. A dentist for the white schools is scheduled to be in Hoke County later in the spring. Two graduates of the Upchurch High school, John C. Kelley and Thomas Butke of A & T College, Greensboro, W. C., are doing their practice teaching at Upchurch at the present time. The school is glad to welcome its graduates back for this type of work. The Upchurch High school glee club broadcasted over the facilities of Fayetteville station WFLV last week. Their program was enjoyed by all who heard it.

Organ Recital At Flora Macdonald Monday, January 31 Wide spread interest has been created by the announcement of th coming organ recital by Marcel Dupre, French organist of inter national fame, in the Flora Mac donald college auditorium on Monday evening, January ai, at 8:15. No organist of this generation has won so many honors as Dupre. At the age of 12. he was /appointed organist of the Chiurch of St. Vincent in Rouen, his na tive city. At nineteen, he won the first prize in counter-point; at twenty-three, the first prize in organ while j^upil of Guilmant, Widor, and' Vierne. At twenty- eight he won the highest prize of- ferld by the French Government, the coveted GRAND PRIX .DE ROME, with a cantata for mi^ed voices and orchestra, entitled “Psyche”. During the past fifteen years, Dupre has been appointed to the highest organ post in France—^Head of the Organ at the Paris Conservatoire, the Ecole Normale de Musique, the Amer ican Fountainebleau Conservatory, and upon the great Widor’s death, was appointed organiot of the fam ous St. Sulpice Cath.%al in Paris. Every Sunday and on religious holidays, Dupre plays to thou sands of organ lovers who come to hear him "play on one of the world’s greatest and most famous organs. No living organ master has ever gained such popularity as has Dupre in America. This phemoninal organist has promised to include one of his wonderful improvisations in hj^ programs at Flora Macdonald, and at the close of the program, Mr Dupre will give an improvisation on a theme which will be handed him just foeforfe he goes on stage. At his New York debut in the Wanamaker Auditorium in 1921, he amazed and dumbfounded mu sicians, critics, and public alike, by improvising an entire sympho ny of four movements, upon themes submitted to him by six prominent organists only five min utes before the recital. H. T. Finck, veteran music critic of the New York Evening Post, described this feat as a ‘^musical miracle”, say ing “it was one of the most j en joyable half hours I have spent in forty years of critical exper ience.” No lover of music should miss the opportunity of hearing the man who has left behind him only en thusiastic praise wherever he has played. It will be remembered that„ Marcel Dupre played the musical program at the wedding of the former King of England, the Duke of Windsor. His recital at Flora Macdonald will be his last appearance in America be fore returning to Paris. , 0 State Newsmen Plan Meeting The 24th aiinual North Carolina Newspaper Institute will open at Chapel Hill tonight. Drew Pear son, Washington columnist and radio commentator, will address the opening session. The institute is sponsored by the North Casolina Press associ ation with the co-operation of North Carolina and Duke imiver- sities. Chancellor Robert B. House will introduce Pearson. Frank A. Dan iels. general manager of the Ra leigh News, and Observer and president of the state association, will preside. . ■ Morning and afternoon sessions Friday will be held at the. Uni versity, and the bahquet session Friday night wUl be at Duke uni versity. ^ PRESIDENT . ; . He may denyj it but C. A. Edwards of Hookerton, in Greene County, is all set to become the new president of the North Carolina Farm Bureau Fed eration when this 75,0(M)-memtoer agricultural organization holds its annual meeting in Asheville early next month. A ^ veteran legislator and one of the leaders in the Farm Bureau for many years Edwards will succeed Cap Eagles of Macclesfield, according to re- liaible information reaching this column. THE JdHNSON FAMILY . Everybody around Raleigh is ask ing questions about “that job” Charles Johnson, former State Treasurer, has been expected to take. Last summer and fall the talk was that be was considering foree or four positions. Thi Bank of Charlotte, it is understood, held a place open for him several months, and then finally took the man who handled his publicity in his bid for governor. For wedcs now, newspapermen have been awfaplting the announcement of' “that job”, but so far nothing has materialized. ^ As for Cousin Robert Grady, the feeling here 'is that his days '^ith the Utilities Commission are num bered, definitely. Neither of these memibers of tthe Johnson fomily went to the Scott inaugurmion ceremonies. They preferred td sit at a little table 'in the Capital Drug Store here at the corner of Salis bury and Hillsboro streets and listen, in silence, to it over the radio. culture Department, is one of the wheels in the Scott organization. He paid Scott’s filihg fee and was for him, all out, when almost everybody else here in Raleigh, and elsewhere, was afraid to men tion his name in a gubernatorial breath. Now, if a referendum' is not forthcoming-this corner thinks it is as dead as last week-Hed- rick is the man being regarded as the next head of . the ADC board. He is one of the original Scott-for- Governor men." Carl Williamson, former Raleigh postmaster and a political power until a heart ail ment slowed him down, ■will con fine his activities to farming when he leaves the ABC post. He succeeded Robert Grady Johnson of Pender County when Johnson went with the Utilities Commis sion. Johnson succeeded Cutler M'oore, Clyde R. Hoey righthander from' Lumberton. BAISE OUT . .. Vance Baise, chief engineer with the State Highway and Public Works Commission, received a letter from Kerr Scott late last fall asking him to give up his position. Also receiving a letter of, this type was Charles Flack, clerk of the Utilities Commission. Flack cleared out of Raleigh as the new Governor marched in. Baise decided to hang aroimd a- while, but now he finds it ibest to move along. This he will do some time ithis week. Will Rogers, as sistant, is Jooked on as the man most likely to succeed him. Tha't^s the way it looks from here. NEXT MONDAY ... The man ■who cries when it rains’ and snows and shows his uppers when the sun shines will bring an lend to these peculiar habits as of the close of day next 'Monday. At that time, Sandy Graham, chairman of the State Highway and Publfo Works Commission for'foujr years, will pack his bag and baggage and move back to bis Hillsboro law practice with DuMont Eskridge, native of Jonesville in Yadkin County. He can leave with the firm knowledge that he has been-^if the amount of work done on North Carolina roads is "any criterion— the best highway chairman in the history-of the State. IN and IUT . .. You can put this down: Mrs. Sue Ferguson of Alexander County will not be re appointed to the State Board if Education. There has been some fast political footwork here, but she’s out. When Mrs. Ferguson became a Presidential’ elector, she automatically vacated her po sition on the board. Scott will not do, anything to place her back on the board. However, don’t count Alexander out of the State political picture, for W. P. Hedrick, tobacco market ing specialist with the N. C. Agri- FROM N. C. . . . Two of the lead ers in book sales, “Tomorrow Will Be Better” and ‘^Roanoke Hun. dred”, have their authors living right here in North Carolina. They are, respectively Betty Smith of Chapel Hill and Inklis Fletcher of Edenton. SUCCESSOR . . . Gov. Scott likes to puU surprises, and he may come up with ‘one when he names a man to succeed Graham. Milker GeoJTge Coble is still in the run ning, but not as much so as a few weeks ago. Capus Waynick may be drafted for the position. When he 'became Scott’s campaign man ager, he said he was not inter ested in a State job and would not accept one. That’s why the word “drafted” is used here. If Scott has not been able to decide on a man by this week-end, Dr. Henry Jordan of Saxapahaw will be called in. A hint was thrown out last Saturday that a man who hasn’t been considered at all by outsiders is definitely ibeing con sidered 'by the governor. 0-^ It Pay^^To Advertise ****** ******* VNR Hnniup. siuuui HIPS HUtHi KHl *** ***** Choosing Leaf Variety Is Big Problem For Grower' j .... ' “What tobacco variety shall I plant?” is a question which many North Carolina farmers' are ^ ask ing them'selves nowadays. Their problem is complicated by many factors—diffirences in soil, culti vation and cropping methods, and disease infestation on the land. There is added trouble, even, in the very fact that so many different varieties qre now available to growers. (For the puzzled grower, Dr. W. G. Woltz of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station has some timely advice: If you don’t know which variety to use, see your, county agent. This state ment applies particularly to grow ers who have disease problems. The disease problem has been e^ecially troublesome to some growers, the tobacco research scientists point out. Wilt-resistant varieties have been planted on shank-infested land, and ^vice versa.- Unaware of their error, growers have sbmetimes blamed their crop failures on the variety planted. ^ t According to Colwell and Woltz, varieties are now available -which are resistant to jone of the follow ing diseases: black shank, Gran ville wilt, or black root rot. How ever, there is no comipercial vari ety at present which carries high resistance to Fusarium wilt or the root knot organism. In general, Oxford 1 and some of the Vesta strains are recom mended for shank-infested soil. The exact choice depends on sev eral factors. For areas in which wilt is prevalent, the groiwer has 0^ choice—p^ord 26; and for soils infested with black rot, Yel-.>i;’^. low Special and.400 are the best '?-'"- varieties, to use. - ‘%'V* Raeford THEATRE Open At ^ P.
