Hoey, North Carolina's s-ni<>r semimv, removes t'rom the scene one of the last of the old fashioned" politicians. His froek-iaiied. coat, striped trousers, broad-bi! ved hat and the inevitable red carnation in his label were familiar sights throughout N. Ch rv’ir... in \\ ashling ton, and else .'.ere. gu • -a,, - • mstandshg thing about Senator Hoey was his brilliant .oratorical prowess. , , . Scintillating oratory is almost a thing of the oast, eh on anvuig politicians. Senator Hoey’s soft but powerful voice, his almost musical flow of words, were known and had their influence tar and wide. One could sit and listen to him tirelessly just to enjoy the boundless beauty of his oratorv. We never saw Senator Hoey use a note when he was speaking, but he could talk for an hour without ever hesitating over a single syllable, without ever cnee deviating from his trend of thought. Clyde Hoey’s career w.»s one of the most outstanding in the annals of North C aro iina political history. Growing up - in thpoverty of recon struction days, he wn a printer s cle% il at 12, a newspaper publisher at 16. a member of the North Carolina House of Represen tatives before he was 21 (even before he had been licensed to practice law), a mem ber of the State'Senate. U. S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina m Woodrow Wilson’s administration, U. S. Congressman from the Ninth North Caio lina District from 1919 to 1921. Governor of North Carolina from 1936 to 1940. and United States Senator from North Carolina from 1944 to the time of his death. The word “politician" often carries with it some tint of stigmna. But not so in the case of Clyde Hoey. A Christian, a gentleman and a scholar, Clyde Hoey’s integrity and sincerity were never questioned. All of the public offices he filled during his lifetime he filled with an honesty ol purpose and a sense of duty that always held him head and shoulders above the general run of politicians and office-hold ers. In spite of his heavy schedule ot public duties throughout his life, he found time to work tirelessly as one of the leading Methodist laymen in North Carolina, and to give freely of his talents to other causes he held dear. North Carolina and the nation have lost a great man. a good man in the death of Clyde Hoey. Yet even in mourning his death, we can not help but feel happy for him that he died as he had often said he hoped to— with his boots on.—Gazette. CHEMISTRY and MODERN LIVING The week beginning May 17th has been designated as Chemical Progress Week. Its purpose is to better acquaint the people with a science and an industry which touches our lives directly from the moment the alarm clock rings iin the morning until we switch off the last light at night. This is literally true. Almost everythiing we use each day has been created, improv ed, o riin some beneficial way affected by chemistry. The all-but-endless list ranges from shaving creams, face creams, tooth brushes and hair brushes through water, soap, clothing, food, automobiles, news papers and magazines, furnitiure ahd so greater part of all this chemical progress on ad infinitum. And surprisingly, the has been accomplished since World War I but a moment in time, as history goes. The lifeblood of the chemical industry is research—the day-in-and-day out work of the scientists in search of new products, new ways to do things, new horizons of knowledge. At the moment, the chemical industry is conducting annually some $275, 000,000 worth of privately-financed re search—more than any other of the na tion’s industries. The results are found in every facet of living—in better health, lon ger life, more jobs and opportunities. Perhaps chemistry’s most salient a chievements have been in the fields of med icine and agriculture. In the one, it is re sponsible for gigantic strides in the eradi cation of diseases which once plagued mankind. In the other, it has immensely increased soil fertility and supplied potent weapons with which to fight the ravages of insects and plant disease. No industry has brought mankind more benefits in the space of one short lifetime. MACHINES AND SMALL FARMS Among the many change's that have tak en piac-e ;ii the world of farming in the last generation or so. there has been a sub stantial increase :r. the size of the average One of the most important reasons for I this ;.- the great progress made in the use of farm equipment. Machinery, which gets ! mere efficient and mere durable all the j time, has ramie it possible for each farmer : to. develop and till far Vnore acreage tit;.' | Used to oe the case, with much less phy , But that doesn't mean that the age of 1 the small, family farm is coming to an ; end—or that this kind of farm is unable ' to qualify for the benefits of mechaniza ' rio'h. While.'the small farmer can't buy ai 1 1 the mechanized equipment that we see on : the large farms, by cooperating with- his la ighbors. he can achieve a high degree *f mechanization. One farmer .buys one kind of machine, another buys another, ' and so on. Then they pool these invaluable and indefatigable mechanical laborers and get the work clone—swiftly, and at mini mum c1 st in money and-human energy. This is the age of the machine in farm ing fust as it is in industry. And that is true I nf aii modern-farms, not just the larger ■nos NATURE S LAW IN ACTION •Ever/ r.c has heard f rhe old natural l:.v >.f supply and demand—a law which .•an work with full effectiveness tally in a rret. competitive ecsuch as ours. 1 But is probable that many of us have ' only .. vague idea of just how ami why the law ■■ perates. If you're interested, you can literally i ste the law ,at work next time you visit a butcher shop and replenish your meat sup ' ply. Total meat production today is about ! the same as it was a year ago. Blit there are more of some meats on the market } and less of others. j For example, beef production is up a ! bout 10 per cent—and retail beef prices i are generally lower. There is also much | more veal available—and again prices are ! down. There has been little or no change in the lamb supply—and that also goes for retail lamb prices. That pattern has been established, not | by human decision, but by the law of sup 1 ply and demand. Under this law, prices tend to drop when the supply of anything | increases—and tend to rise when the sup , ply oof anything decreases. In other words the relationship between the available i quantity of any commodity and the number | of people who want it arid are shopping ! for it in the market is the big factor in de j t.i rmiiring the price. Over the years, this i system gives all concerned, from producer j to consumer, the best possible break. ROOM AT Tor AND BOTTOM Some seem to think that when a busi i ness becomes big, it has things all its own ' way—and that it can adopt a "like it or • lump it" policy toward consumers and the j rest of the business community, i A Brookings Institution report tells a I very different story. Of the nation's 100 I largest industrial corporations in 1909. only 36 were on that select list in 1948. | The report observes that our economic system “has its own actions and reactions and its own methods of punishing the com pany that ceases to be competitive." There's plenty of room at the top for concerns which give good service and please the public—and plenty of room at the bottom for those which fail to do that. "Recognition of the fact that freedom is close to home led the founding fathers to put strict limits on the powers vested in the proposed central governments, and to place all unspecified powers in the hands of the state governments.” Frank Chod orov.

Under the plan travelers can 1 make savings of up to one-third, I or even more, on their fares.

Southwest ; ern and Pacific Coast territories, and to Canadian stations west of Winnipeg. Also for the first time, the plan has been broadened so that the second person in a family group travels at a major saving.

For I this reason the factor’s fee, cus tomarily a small percentage of the sales handled, is not charged to credit costs by many manufac turers and distributors who rely on factors for their working cap ital and expansion funds. I Instead, these companies regard factoring services as an aid to selling, because the funds provid ed keep working capital on the job, and the factor’s marketing' counsel helps his clients make more goods that people want. . Return of a buyer’s market has I accented interest in factoring, both as financing and as a sales tool. Today old-line factoring firms serve hundreds of companies in more than 50 industries, in cluding textiles, furniture, hard ware, rubber goods and toys. PEACEFUL ATOMS—Industry spokesmen, encouraged by recent loosenings of government restric tions on production of electricity from atomic materials, have been asking Joint Congressional Commitc. t- on Atomic Energy to lot thorn own the potent by product.' of atomic fission.
