I Nickel a Bale War Chest For Cotton Cotton firms and cotton farmers of , Hertford, and surrounding area are: called on' by President Oscar John-1 ston of the National Cotton Council for "100 per cent allegiance in j cotton's total war for increased con-i sumption."

Strikes Cut Deeply Into WHEN Myron C IftJUt, former chairman of the board ot the , United States Steel Corporation, signed up with die new steel workers' union in 1937, he remarked, "The cost of a striketo the corporation, to the public, and to the men would have been incal culable." Mr. Taylor could not have summed up the whole question of strikes more briefly or intelligently. Stuart Chagc Because we live in such an inter locked, interdependent world, the effects of a strike in a major industry are felt In every state in the union, damaging many innocent bystanders. As an example, the noted economist, Stuart Chase brings to liht in the August Cosmopolitan Magazine the figures on the fifty-four day strike in the Chrysler Corporation in 1939. Pifty-thousand men lost their work directly: 70(000 other employes of the company in accessory plants were thrown out of jobs or had working time reduced; 57,000 em ployes in companies furnishing materials to Chrysler had work curtailed or stopped. The total, tutes, surpflus, and foreign compe-. tition." j The message came simultaneously with the National Cotton Council's announcement of a "universal ser vice" plan to provide funds with which to carry on the fight during the coming year. The new plan, to go into effect August 1, calls for a defense fund of five cents on every bale of lint and three cents on every ton of seed, mobilized with the help of each of the five primary raw 1 cotton interests. Under the new plan, arrangements have been perfected enabling the producer to make his nickefl-a-bale contribution at the first point of sale, either to the cotton merchant, large or small, or the ginner or ware houseman acting as merchant. This contribution is carried on from mer chant to compressor, who remits the accumulated funds to the Council when the bale is first compressed, or from merchant to textile mill which Burial That Properly Expresses Your AFFECTION What a satisfaction it is to know your departed loved ones are buried in a way that insures complete protection against time and elements. A sepulchre carved in the heart of the living rock could not more securely shield its occupant than does the Concrete Automatic Sealing Vault. What better expression of your affection for those who have passed on, than this modern, safe, cfleanly method of interment ? Hermetically sealed in the CONCRETE AUTOMATIC SEALING VAULT, the mortal remains of your loved ones are safe throughout the ages.

O.ie hundred and sixty-eight thou, and cars would have been the normal output in the time elrpsed. Three million dollars a day was the esti mate of purchasing power lor.i to the nation as a whole, and this, at the rate of more than $l,000,0;;u,00i) a year. Any strike, Mr. Chase empha sizes, is a source ef great expense to workers, employers, and tax payers. Through loss of wapes, workers and their families are forced to suffer hardships. The pos sibility of physical injury is created, morale is weakened, and community ill-will stirred up. Besides loss of profits, employers encounter set backs on business lost to competi tors; on damaged property, and on the break-up of routine. To the general public, a strike is serious because of loss in buying power; because relief roles swell while revenue to pay for it decrc se-; and because the total effect is to generate intolerance and hate. Despite recent walk-outs, Mr. Chase concludes his article on a note of hope. Though 1,800,000 workers were involved in strikes in 1937, the number had been cut ir. half by 1938, he says, and there is a chance that 1937 may have marked the crest of the labor struejrlc.

Similarly, contributions on seed, which are made by the ginner and crusher, are assembled and remitted to the war chest by the oil mills. "For fifty years we cotton farm ers have been balking about an or ganization like the National Cotton Council to defend our markets and find new ones through judicious ad vertising, intelligent research, and organized opposition to restrictive in two years, equipped with modern legislation. At last we have it, an weapons, it has accomplished more than any of us thought was possible in so short a period. "Domestic consumption has been brought back virtually to the alll time high, with every indication that a new record can be set in 1941. Plans are ready for a vigorous at tack on the acute problem of foreign trade. Council scientists are on the trail of new uses. A united, cotton industry has gone to war." , V; vEdenton.lt 1 Vi6, t "i
