FRIDAY, AUGUST , IMS I." -nt" Carlerei County ir ; : A Merger Of The Beaufort News (est. 1912) ft The Twin City Timet (est. 1936) EDITORIAL PAGE School Bells Will Noi Ring School bells will not ring next Wednesday. By action of the board of health and board of education officials, school opening has been postponed until Oct. 1, unless it is found before this time that there is little danger of additional infantile paralysis cases. ' Disease certainly has ployed hob with "the well laid plans of men" this summer. Vacationists were kept home by quarantine and business at the1 beach took a nose-dive, Beaufort's recreation program stopped dead halfway to completion, and businessmen mopping their brows, wonder whether to attribute the state of affairs to polio or to hopes of hitting the lucky number. Carteret county's number of cases now totals seven, the latest one having just developed within the psst week. And just a jpshort distanc from here, at the air base, stringent measures have . been taken ii control an epidemic the number of cases Ihere . i- being about double those in the whole of this county. Postponing school a whole month seems like a long time. But ' it's a wise step that has been taken. Parents will feel more at ease and here it's a case where losing time may save money and good health. Jind They Lose Their Way . . . A stranger has just ridden Into Beaufort. He's looking for the Western Union office so he can send a wire home to let the lolks know he arrived safely. "Ah," he says happily as he comes to the Turner and Ann street intersex inn. "The Western Union office is on this street," and he turns south on Turner because the little blue and white sign saying "Western Uinon" points that way. I Cruising slowly along and straining his eyes he fails to find the Western Union offire. Luckily, just as he's about to run in to Taylor creek he sees the police station and asks an officer where the telegraph office is. The policeman of course directs him one block east, then a turn to the left on Craven, where lo and behold, on the right hand side of the street he finds the Western Union office. Mopping his brow, he steps out, so glad that at last he's found ff""vhat he was seeking that he forgets the sign was on the wrong I Street. S J Maybe a little talk between the chamber or commerce and jfciilhe telegraph men would help get the Western Union office on Turner street or the sign on Craven.

India-Jtpan Trade Receives Shot in Arm TRICHUR, India (AP) .Trade between Japan and India, virtually at a standstill since 1941, is expected to receive great im petus as the result of a tour of India by a trade mission. The mis sion has just completed its work, after assembling a long, detailed list of what India wants in the way of capital goods and manufac tures from Japan. Official announ cements say the Government of India hopes to receive a reply to its requests soon after the mission returns to Japan. As a result of the mission's visit, the Government of India has made available to Japan 85,000 bales of cotton and 14,000 tons of raw jute Primitive man used atones as ornaments, munitions, tools, cur rency, household equipment and some of his objects of worship. Morehead City, N, C. Beaufort. N. C. of Circulations LOOKING Bv F.ula Nixon Greenwood BAGPIPES .loe Crawford, for mer Winston Salem policeman who carried Forsvth County for Kerr Scott in the May 29 Primary, is now making efforts to have North Carolina's bagpipers particularly the Democratic variety partici pate in the inauguration of Scott here in January. A leading citizen of Wilmington has agreed to foot the bill, Droviding kilts and other Scottish harness, for the event. 1 Crawford feels all this would be in keeping with the bagpiping Uvhich was done over the radio in behalf of the AJamance faimer during the campairM end would lend an uhusual ioucn to the inau guration. This is no doubt true, but Scott himself is thinking only of the election in November nt tins time, and can't see beyond that, for as another gentleman of Scot larf said: "November chill blaws loud wi' angry sough, the snort 'ning winter day is near a close; the miry beasts retreating frae the plough; the black'ning trains o' craws to their repose. . . ." BEYOND THE SCALE Pity the poor butcher. Time was when he could glance casually at his computing scale ns it finished its rolling and tell vou how much your meat cost. No more. No more can he say with an Einstei i eye: ' That will he $1.43." C. D. Baucom, superintendent of the Weights and Measures Division of the State Agriculture Depart ment, reminds you that most meat has gone beyond the- pale of tho scale. In other words, computing, scales go up to about 70 cents per pound. Whe.i there scales were made, nobody hid nry idea that pork chops and sirloins wou'd go beyond this. So, if there is a moment's lull behind the counter after your meat has been weighed, don't fret. It's just your butcher dipping into higher mathematics. And, if you are a penny-watching housewife, you should dip right with him, advises Carson Baucom. HOTEL BATTLE There is a friendly battle goln? on here in Raleigh regarding which hotel will be the Democratic Headquarters for this fall's campaign, which will get under way officially about La bor Day. The Sir Walter, sometimes refer- red to as the political center of North Carolina, has had it for years and has, in a way, built its reputation around this fact. How ever, Scott had his headquarters In the Hotel Carolina, and still maintains an offiej there. All the other candidates were in the Suh Waltuh. Despite all the backstage bickering, Democratic offices will probably open in the Carolina and may be transferred over to the other hotel if the pressure is suf ficient. STATE EMPLOYEES They don't call it that, but there is t union of State employee" being developed here in Raleigh, with branches extending to other sec tions of North Carolina. Referred to as an "association," this (roup has two principal goals: a five-day work week and better pay. The organization, begun rather .quietly two years ago, is now throwing its weight around considerably, and Is PROM EAST TO -sBzzA thought to ha"e some political strength. The leaders s:v they have been promised this promise coming during the rtcent guber natorlal campaign the five-day-week, which coincides with that of the U. S. employees here. As a mitter of fact, little work is done in State offices on Saturday mornings. If it isn't football. Ts a trip to the beach, or some olhei urgent matter. I 1 SOCIAL NOTE L. Y. Ballen tine of Fuquav-Varina and J. M. Broughton of Raleigh, the former 'icing the Democratic Nominee for Agriculture and the latter being ditto U. S. Senate, had dinner the other Suundav with Mr. and Mrs. W. Kerr Scott at their rural estate near Haw River. They talked about the weather. NOTES The new home eco nomics teacher n the Edenton High School is Miss Miriam Scott 1948 graduate of W. C. U. N. C, 8 neice of Kerr Scott, a daughter of Burlington Dairyman Ralph Scott, and a verv goodlooking young lady, which Is to say that she looks like her mother's side of the fa mily. ... It comes nretty straight that J. M. Broughton received a flat fer of $10,000 for defending James R. Creech, Smithfield Wife-killer con victed of first degne murder and sentenced to die. . . . The case will be carried to the State Supreme Court . . . and the new Governor may have the final say-so ns to whether Creech will 70 to the "as chamber . . . Don't forget the name . . . James R. Creech . . . Will he be executed? The papers said that the new sec retary of the State Democratic Executive Committee, Victor Bry ant was a Johnso.i Umstead man . .

Mayne Albright the piomise that their minimum salary would be $2,400 per year . . . Then V K Scctt and n.ailes M. John son solemnly pledged the same, saying that salaries would run from $2,400, for first-year teach ers, up to as high as $3,600 for those with experience. Albright and Johnson were freed of the res ponsibility of making this dream come true. It now falls on the agrarian Bhouders of Scott. Ca:: !n do it? Can he deliver? The school budget this vear will run approximately $62,000,000. Il Scott follows through on his pro mise, this tigu;e will be pushed up about $30.000 000. raisin" the total output to schools to tfcW.000,000, per year. Tins monef must come from the Genen.l Fund . . . unl'es-, they start dipiing 1110 highway money. The General Fund Inccme this year Will run right at $123, 000,000. But lrt NORMAL years (1940 for instance) the General Fund revenue is only around $44, 000,000. t's easy to talk and to have vi sions of sugar plums. But the hard facts are: How can North Carolina pay its teachers from $2,400 to $3. 600 per year? How can the S'ate take from the General Fund $92, 000,000 per year, for schools alone, he this Fund's income is only $44,000,000? Perhaps we can do it for 1949-51, but the 0 Ids are against it. However, it cannot be done for more than two years UN LESS the State's income stays above the $125,000,000 matk . . . unless highways suffer ... or UNLESS we increase the sales tax or go back to a tax on land. ' Forget all these big figures If vou wigh, but just put this down: Scott's promise to teachers cannot and will not be entirely fulfilled ... and it mav fall far Short of fulfillment.
