In the three months "since it has opened 12,968 persons have gone through its doors , and. 43 organizations have held affairs there, drawing crowds from 10 in number to nearly a thousand. : The Tony Pastor dance, sponsored by the Morehetfd City Jun ior Chamber of Commerce, drew the largest crowd, 975. Spon sored there also have been numerous other dances, boxing matches "(th three of these drew a total of 1,025), a fashion show, Leap "Year party, game night, climax of the Lions' club talent hunt, , ; and the Tidewater League baseball dance. : Among the different organizations which have used the club's facilities, WHICH ARE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE, are the Baptist Sunday school of Morehead City, Hi V girls and boys, : Boy Scouts, Future Homemakers of America, Chamber of Com merce, Girl Scouts, and many individual hosts and hostesses for private parties. Perhaps the most important purpose the recreation building serves is as a headquarters for the Morehead City Teen-Age club to which any teen-ager may belong, whether hit home is in Greens boro or Stacy, Miami, Fla., or Morehead City. The Teen-Agers have exclusive ase of the building two nights a week, but during afternoons and other evenings, almost any ' jtime decided upon with Mrs. Harold Sampson, director, the coun ty recreational building may be used by other organizations. There are facilities now for serving light lunches and in the very ' Bear future the kitchen will be equipped to serve dinners. Membership in the Teen-Age club consists of 650 seniors and 119 juniors. Attendance at Teen Age functions in March, April, and May totaled 7,346. Youth must be served. The recreational club is doing Just that, and the benefits will return ten-fold and a hundred-fold in " the coming years. For those who have passed their youth, the recreational ; building stands ready to serve them too. It has been, in the short period of its existence a setting for many pleasant occa sions. And there are many more happy times to be had there. P " Ik .

For strangely enough youngsters exhaust their own play resources several times a day. This summer Beaufort civic organizations have undertaken daytime supervised recreation program headed by Bill Kittrell, v .0 Greenville, who has had experience in supervising rcreation activities in his home town. This is a new undertaking and the success of this summer's work will determine to a large extent whether the program con ; tlnues in summers to come. .Supervised play, games requiring cooperation with other fel - tews, on the team, help to build the type of character wanted in a ood citizen.

Kerr Scott, candidate for Governor, was accused of indulg ing in mud slinging. He replied that he was only eiving the "facts in the case and if that be mud slinging, I'm sorry." But, he was informed, nnlv the lnsino rnnrii- date ever slings mud. Candidate Charles Johnson . . . who- is also State Treasurer (and a good one) . . . did not resort to mud slineine. seldom if ever mentioned Kerr Scott by name., always referring to him simply as "my opponent '. But so far . . . at least as this is written . . . Scott has done no mud-slinging for the Second Pri mary. It's Ml being done by Char les Johnson and his supporters. Scott is being accused of being a "machine man", of not living in Raleieh while he was Commission er of Agriculture, of this, that, and tne other. Johnson men arc cer tainly tearing into him. As the second week in the ser- ond campaign came to nn pnrl last Saturday night Scott was using Johnson's First Primary strategy and Johnson was using Scolt's. ATTACK With Scott doine the lambasting during April and May, Johnson was on the defen sive. Now the shoe is on the other foot. Johnson is attacking and Scott is on the defensive. Which is the better campaign strategy? Only the voters know . . . and they can't talk until June 26. Before that date rolls around you will find both Scott and Johnson sling ing at each other with all the am munition they can mustej. ; ; CA3TC2T tCrSTT lS-TinES .

MYSTERY POP-As a Father's Day advertising project, Lewis', Inc., here in Raleigh, has been running a "Mystery Pop" contest on a local radio station. It attract ed quite a bit of attention, for Wade Lewis, Sr. and Jr. were giv ing away approximately $2,500 worth of fine clothing ... nine suits, three hats, topcoats, etc. Who won? Nine-year-old Parker Jlod- ges, son of your State Insurance Commissioner William P. Hodges. So, the best-dressed State official for several years to come should be Bill Hodges. And who was the mystery pop? Jim Kilgore, presid ent of Pine State Creamery and the son of the late agriculturalist, Dr. B. W. Kilgore. It was a fine piece of advertising which paid its way in increased trade many times over. YOU CAN'T ESCAPE The N. C. Dairy Products Association, led by Able L. L. Ray of Alamance County, and the Dairy Council and N. C. Milk Producers associa tion are now pushing June Dairy Month. This week's salute poes to this worthwhile program which is making North Carolinians more conscious of the value of Dairy products. Ray has appeared before several civic groups with in the past three weeks telling them, of this State's goal to make North Carolina the Dairy State of the South. He's appeared on several radio programs from one end of the State to the other. There is money in tobacco and in cotton. However, the real need for a Strong agricultural program in North Carolina Is more coWs, more corn and legume crops to support them, and a yeararound income for the 300,000 farmers. GETTING HIS SHARE Al though R. Mayne Albright who ran third in the Governor's race, came out in the runoff as a neu tral. Charles Johnson' seems to be getting his full share of Albright supporters. Scott, as was to be expected, is winning over the pre ponderance Of the Albright Strength, but the way many for mer Albright managers and com mittee members are swinging to Johnson is causing quite a bit of surprise around Raleigh. WHO WILL WIN? The $64. 000 . . . or possibly the $164,000 question . . . Is: "Who is going to jwln out for Governor? "Well, brother and sister, : your guess is Just as good cs anybody else's. This question Is being asked all over North Carolina. Nobody knows the answer. PRAY TELL US! Men through out the State, men who r sun posed to know , . . or think they know . . . more about political trends than the average citizen, have been wiring friends In Ra leigh and making'trips to Raleigh within the past two or three weeks to find who the Winner is going to be. Why? So they can go along with the winner! They want to be with the winner! Thit winner business . . . the desire to be with the winner . . . is doing more than anything eke to cripple democracy and it seriously damaging the De mocratic Party right here in North Carolina.. .v:.,, .' . FREE? you vote for a man mainly because you think he will win, then yon aren't a true be liever in democracy. - Thatt the way Hitler went into power. What the man stands for, what he be lieves in, the type of -citizen he is ... as you see him . . .are the things that count. Don't sacrifice principles, ideas, ideals, and What you in your heart think is right, merely to be with the man you think will win. Are you a free ci tizen? Then you vote as you wish. Don't let anybody tell you how to vote! You have just as much right to your opinion as anybody else. Go down fighting for the man you think is best fitted for Governor. If it's Johnson stay with him. If it's Scott, vote for him. NOTES Jim Folger of Char lotte, head of the N. C. Food Deal ers association and defeated candi date for State Treasurer, is sup porting Scott in the runoff,-while', Brandon Hodges, the winner, it for Johnson, iohnson men "got the move on Scott in the second cam paign and have already flooded the State with new Johnson posters 7, Nell tattle Lewis, who has been doing a column for. the Raleigh News and Observer for 26 years, is the new associate editor of the Raleigh Timet . . . 'will also write a column there. . . . Horton Dough ton, prominent Statesvllle mer chant, Was reported last week to be for Scott . . . E. B. Jeffress, president of the Greensboro Daily News-Record Co., visited Scott headquarters for a long chat last Wednesday . . . Of course, for every big name entering. Scott's camp, you will find a half-dozen visiting Johnson. . . . Gov: R. Gregg Cherry took some wind out of the Scott sails last week when he made it financially; possible for State College to complete Its hand some coliseum. . . . Scott had al ready assured State alumni this would he done immediately upon his becoming Governor, . . . John son has already had one State Ren al or, Rivers Johntota of Warsaw (no kin), on the air in hit behalf. . . . Others are expected. . . . The road contractors are now said to be all-out for Johnson . .. . This alto goes for virtually all the lead ing manufacturer! in North Carolina. IN AN ENVIABLE POSITION Charles JaV Johnson it in an en viable position, and that's putting H mildly. Although J. M. Brough ton it regarded at neutral, many of his most ardent followers are faaeking Johnson. Congressman Monroe Redden is doing Charlie a lot of goad in the Henderson vflle - Brevard - Waynesville -Asjie-ville section. Oscar Pitts, Brough ton friend also, who certainly has the political know-how is now liv ing in Asheville and" doing tome adroit auctioneering for Johnson. One of the best public relations men in the business, Claude Ram sey of Asheville, is turning out some neat publicity handiwork for Johnson. On the other hand.. . . and this is important . . . rumor has Sen. .Umstead doing nothing for Scott, and his home county of Durham is said to be swinging to Johnson. FROM HERE Looking at it from here, it is difficult to see how Johnson can lose1. He has abi lity, money, makes a good speech, and has smart and astute politicians in his corner. But Umstead had SAVE THE SOU ; - By Roy R. Beck Soil Conservationist .Soil conservation has aptly beep defined as the conservation . and utilization of soli and water in such a way as to give maximum yields without depleting the pro duction of land. Three Carteret county farmers have practiced conservation and maximum utilization of water to "produce record Irish potato yields this year, using a system of pump ing water into open ditches de veloped by the Ball brothers of Harlowe. Raymond Ball has made an early estimate of yield by the cobbler potato as 200 bags per acre and his new red potato has these things, too, and he lost. How ever, Scott is not a Broughton, and there's the difference. So, if the pattern set in 1932 (against Dick Fountain) and followed in 1936, '40, and '44 holds this time, John son will win. If not, Scott will be the next Governor. yielded 242 bags per acre. K. W. Wright made 203 bags of U. S. number ones on 18 acres un der irrigation. Mr. Wright says the "yield on similar land not under, irrigation was under 100 bags per acre. . Roland Salter averaged 1974 bags on his entire crop. Mr. Sal ter dug his crop early thereby getting a high price at the sac rifice of maximum yield. These farmers repeatedly stress the need for adequate drainage of these poorly-drained soils. Ray mond Ball says "this type of land can't really be formed until it is properly drained." At present, the Soil Conserva tion service can advise farmers cooperating with the Lower Neuse Soil Conservation district about the soil type, rate water will move through the soil, and the lay of the land in determining the possibility of using this system of water man agement for growing Irish potatoes. Sixty percent of the saw timber in the United States is privately owned. Forty percent is publicly owned.
