While serious domestic issues - require at: tention, the? impact of foreign, com plications is being felt in Washing ton where national defense becomes a paramount issue, with excellent pros .vects of exceeding the vast outlay suggested by the President. The foreign affairs of the United States will be in the limelight and public attention will be focused upon subsidy program, be cut by Con jitwo outstanding- areas of the world ' gross means little or nothing.

Are defeated, no one knows just where- this country will ' stand nor what Germany, Italy, Rus- -sia and Japan might attempt.

Many members of Congress will see the fortification of Guam as an aggres sive preparation," regardless of the fact that the United States sur rendered the right to fortify the Is land in a treaty which Japan subse quently abrogated. In return for its promise, the United States got an agreement from Japan to limit her navy. Since Japan is no longer bound by the naval ratios and the United States finds itself forced to enlarge its fleet, the argument is that this country should not hesitate to fortify any island which will in crease the efficiency of its war ships. ' The President's recommendation that agricultural appropriations, in cluding the crop control and farm any effort to reduce appropriations aci.h benefit until im provement in farm conditions is more pronounced. The fate of the President's recommendation in this respect will illustrate, once again, that the Chief Executive can lead but cannot dictate to Congress, even when controlled by his own Party. of the anti-lynching bill by the House was expected but the ing and that the best elements of j people in the South unreservedly de nounce lynching, the proposition contains too much political dynamite to be forgotten. By his nomination of Attorney General Frank Murphy to become a Justice of the Supreme Court, Pres- ident Roosevelt raises the number of his appointees to five, which iB a majority of the Court. This record has been equalled only by Presidents Appointees of the President include Hugo Black, Stanley Reed, Felix Frankfurter and William O. Douglas, Thus the : highest tribunal of the country nas passed into the control of appointees sharing the political philosophy of the President.

Marine Corps Keary Lee Lane, 18 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Lane, of Eden ton Road Street, enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps on January 12. Young Lane, together with another recruit, was sent to a Marine Train ing Center at Parris Island, S. C, where he will be stationed for a per iod of at least one month.

Harrill, 4-H Olubjeader at State College, has announced that an enrollment goal of 65,000 farm boys and girls has been set for 1940. During the year just closed, slight ly more than 49,000 were enrolled in ' North Carolina Clubs. The organi zation stretched from seacoast to mountains, and rural youth received instruction and guidance in 1,529 clubs. This figure included both white and Negro members. In outlining the program for 1940, Harrill andMiss Frances McGregor, assistant club leader, have urged farm and home agents, the club ad visers, to plan the year carefully so that an even greater interest will be taken in projects and in the club meetings. Likewise, they have suggested that more local adult leaders be used in furthering the work. The local lead er is generally acknowledged as the person on whom depends the success or failure of an individual club. In some cases, local leaders are brought to the county seat where they undergo a training period to ac quaint them more fully with the purposes and aims fif , 4-H Qub work as well as to givetbem new ideas for conducting cluib meetings. It has also been suggested by the State 4-H leaders that agents plan a full year's program in advance. This Will enable them to get a broadei view of the work, and at the same time the club members will know their monthly assignments well in Advance. Likewise, the leaders advised more personal contacts with club boys end girls. This will enable the agents to Know more' definitely what pro jects the members are capable of carrying out Who Knows? 1. Is the sun closer to the earth in the summer? 2.

The Youth In Buttnest By C. E. Johnston Dean, Schools of Buttntti International Correspondent Schools YOUNG persons about to enter business fall Into two broad classes: Those who have a definite aptitude for a particular field ot work and should If at all possible find positions in this or related fields; and those who are adaptable and who may within certain limits fill a variety ot positions equally well. The latter type of man or woman should consider fields ot en deavor which are not well known and in which there Is, therefore, a rela tive scarcity of well trained workera. Before a person seriously considers 8UcUaflftid, however, he should . make sure that there are sources of training available to supplement the instruction which will be re ceived on the job. Traffic manage ment may be jnentfoned aS an ex ample of this type of work. Industrial and commercial organi zations ot all kinds employ traffic men to deal with transportation companies and to assure that ade quate transportation services are available at rates that are reason able and technically correct. These traffic men must know the kinds of services rendered by all types of carriers. Traffic men are also employed by transportation companies to obtain shipments of goods to be trans ported, to deal with rate and traffio problems, and to attend to traffic matters that are brought before state regulatory commissions, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and other federal administrative bodies engaged In transportation regulation. LOSS OF LIFE IS ONLY A PART OF AUTO TOLL THE serious elects of motor accidents cannot be gauged by casualties alone, horrifying at these ate, J. C Furnas reports in an ankle entitled, "Daily Occur rence," in the August issue of Good Housekeeping Magazine. Fur nas traces the disastrous after effects of a collision between two automobiles in the lives ,of partici pating persons 'who escaped with their lives. These include mental disorder, shock, poverty, increased tax burdens due to the dependency of victims' families, broken careers, curtailed love affairs, wrecked homes, fatherless families and all the depression and mental anguish on the part f relatives, which ac company the maiming of normal, healthy individuals. "The cold Statistics of motoring death rates have shown marked im provement in the last eighteen months. But it isn't statistics which get mashed and battered," Furnas states. "Human individuals, each with his personal relationship to dozens of other individuals, are the victims." One of the most unfortunate things about accidents, Furnas goes on to say, is that they occur where everything has been done to pre vent them. Intersections are marked. Stop signs are plainly set up at crossroads. Roadways are divided by glaring white lines. But drivers con tinue to approach intersections too fast and drivers on crossroads, in stead of coming to a full stop at an , intersection, merely drop into eecoiiu gear,' reopie will cross ine glaring wane line, swing out from ehind other cars on hills and make the curve too wide when they turn. Drivers themselves must make the safety effort before it can be really accomplished.' Sagging Prices Seen Fora940 Leaf Crop The infant tobacco crop, now be-! ginning its first growth m plant beds, is expected to find a rough reception-when' it finally reaches ware house floors next fall, believes J. B. TT..1 !A . . . 1 . 1 numun, BSBiatanc aanuiupiroior oil the Triple-A, Its preceding' brother; the 1JJ39 crop, turned out to be the largest on - record, totaling 1,100,000,000 pounds1 of flue-cured v leaf. It was larger I j than 19S7' record crop by one-fourth and is 825,000,000 pounds more than will be used during the current year. This means, Hutson explained, that world stocks will be 326,000,000 pounds greater at the beginning or the next marketing season than at the beginning of the past season. ; Am fan at thutJ nnMutnfc fadfoatftnui re that exDortn 1 will ha anriroxi- toatelv- 150.000.000-less than asual. In. effect, this situation : sets the'.Z atase o tfcat stocks in the United 475,000,000 pound's larger than at the beginning of the 1939 marketing season. , "Actually," Hutson said, "we need less than half a crop of flue-cured tobacco this year. According to our acreage allotments, growers should produce between 600,000,000 and 675,000,000 pounds of leaf in 1940. "But," he continued, "present in dications are that it will be extreme ly diflicult to market at reasonable prices this much tobacco next fall." To meet this situation, the AAA executive urged that North Carolina growers, the largest producers of flue-cured leaf in the country, par ticipate and qualify for maximum payments under the Agricultural Conservation program, keep well within their tobacco allotments, and grow plenty of food for the familj and feed for the livestock.
