tacz crx J THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N, C., FRIDAY. MAY 16, 1641, Okectoc National Fan Yom FounderiM ' . ... ITI, . Si P m Kyes SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL It is time for America to will ingly take off its coat, roll up it" sleeves, and get down to the busi ness of defense. Too few of u realize the seriousness of the teas ' and the imme diate need for action. The for eign policy of our government has committed the American people to the fight for de m o c r a c y. Therefore it be comes our duty to prepare our selves for any eventuality which may occur as a result of such action. The nations of Europe wert caught napping. America is still asleep, dreaming blissfully in com fort, but headed for a terrific shock unless there is an immedi ate awakening to the gravity oi our present situation. Should we get to our task im mediately, there need be no fear of the outcome. This country has the brains, brawn and tools neces sary to arm against any aggression or group of aggressors that may attempt to violate our territories. To arm America for total de fense, i is necessary for every red-blooded American to put his shoulder to the wheel. The entire defense program is falling down today because it lacks direction. In order to accomplish a great task, it is first necessary to out line what is to be accomplished. A plan is like a compass; it makes it possible for all of us to go in the same direction. Such a plan should be open and frankly stated. People get nervous when they keep finding out things after they have happened. Dictators thrive on confusion. Our best safeguard against bewilderment is to have a plan everybody understands, and to execute it quickly and accu rately. . ' In such an emergency" govern ment must take the leadership. Its policies should be dear-cut and accurate policies that will create confidence; policies that will give this great nation the will to re vitalize itself and be ready to take on whatever responsibilities are necessary to let the rest of the world know that we are proud of Americanism and the institutions upon which this nation was founded. Once government has accurately laid down the task, it then be comes the responsibility of every one of us to do our part. As indi viduals we must be prepared to make sacrifices and give up our comforts in order to carry the burden before us. Management must be prepared to make courageous decisions. It must be willing to forego all prof its if necessary. It is now con fronted with the most difficult problems ever put up to manage ment. It must be equal to the task. Labor must purge its ranks of those who are not sincerely in ac cord with the program for the de fense of American institutions. The task of labor will be long in hours. Machines are helpless with out skilled men to operate them. Side by side labor and manage ment must cast aside their differ ences in favor of the common wel fare of a great people. The efforts of industry must be sustained by an adequate food supply. This task falls into the hands of the farmer. He, too, must be prepared to make every sacri fice. Fortunately, the type of food needed is such that farmers turn ing their fields and farm opera tion to defense foods will be more prosperous than present cash crop farmers, for there are no surpluses in these much needed foods. America must be aroused to the occasion. This can be started by laying the defense problems and requirements frankly before the people. Once this is done, every man and woman will understand clearly why and how we must put our shoulders to the wheel. Once an American knows what's ex pected of him, you can count on his "delivering the goods." CENTER HILL NEWS rum spent Sunday in Norfolk, Va., as guests of Mr. and, Mrs. 0. J. Parker.

Safety Talks- "The price a farmer may receive for his produce is of no consequence in comparison with the price he may pay for his carelessness in hauling that produce to market," Ronald Hocutt, Director of the Highway .Safety Division, said this week in pointing out traffic hazards connect ed with the marketing of early crops. With the strawberry and May pea markets already open and the mar keting of Irish potatoes and, other truck crops scheduled to begin short ly, the safety director issued a time ly warning to North Carolina truck fanners. "The movement of truck crops to market always creates out-of-the ordinary traffic dangers, but the ex traordinary conditions now existing on North Carolia highways will make the .marketing of spring produce an even greater traffic hazard than usu al," he said.. 'Especially in the sections around Wilmington, Elizabeth City and Fort Bragg, all of which are truck farm ing centers as well as centers of de fense activity in the state, farmers should take every precaution to avoid accidents in connection with their trips from the farm to the markets where they sell their crops. Amonir the precautions Hocutt list ed were: (1) Have the tires, brakes, lights and runninsr eear of vour trucks and trailers checked and cor rected if found defective; (2) see that your hauling vehicles are not overloaded, and distribute the weight as evenly as possible; (3) don't send drivers to market who are verv sleepy or very tired; (4) know some thing about your driver's ability to drive, his attitude as a driver, and his record as a driver; (5) ,if driving a horse-drawn vehicle, give faster moving traffic as much of the road as possible and carrv a lisrht for driving after dark. "I appeal to North Carolina truck farmers tb follow these suggestions lest crushed bodies, broken bones and smashed vehicles be a part ofhe price they pay for having their crops hauled to market," Hocutt added. Three Step Necessary To Revive 'Sick' Trees of N. C. State College,', says "sick" shade trees usually need fertilizer, water and 11 a protective leaf ; mulch. He suggests: .f, i 1. A first-year fertilizer treat ment of cotton seed, meal, sulphate of ammonia and bone meal, applied on soaked ground or watered-in well after the application. ; In. succeeding years the fertilizer treatment should be mostly sulphate of ammonia. 2. Water the trees regularly dur ing the growing season from early spring to mid-summer. .Watering the surface is not enough; in fact it is useless and wasteful. Enough wa ter should be applied to wet the soil thoroughly for a foot in depth. Al lowing a small stream to run all night and changing the location on successive nights Nis an excellent method. 3. Restore Nature's protective mulch by covering the surface with a "blanket" of leaves, woods mulch, "or other decaying organic matter to a depth of several inches, ' and for a distance of at least two-thirds of the branch-spread of the tree. To keep the material .from blowing or wash ing away, a 12-inch light wire fesh fence surrounding the mulched area will "provide a good guard. Graeber said that detailed infor mation on care of ornamental trees and shrubs can be obtained by writ ing to the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, for Farmers' Bulletin No. 1826. fli!!os of Hi3 Cod It On Dimming Lights Section 94,' Motors Vehicle Laws of North Carolina: "The head lamps of motor vehicles shall be so con structed, arranged and adjusted that . . . they will at all times . . . and under normal atmospheric conditions and on a level road prodnce a driv ing light sufficient to render clearly discernible a person two hundred feet a head, but any person operat ing a motor vehicle upon the high ways when meeting another vehicle, shall so control the lights of the ve hicle operated by him by shifting, depressing, deflecting, tilting or dim ming the head light beams in such manner as shall not project a glar ing or dazzling light to persons in front of such head lamp." In other words, dim your head lights when meeting another car on the highway at night. The law re quires it, courtesy suggests it, safety demands it.
