THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY JUNE , 1M1 PAGE SEVEN If? "-- a Jk Kyes ROGER fA KYESf National fan Youth foundation DEMOCRACY Democracy, which we have taken for granted and have been neglecting, has suddenly grown very dear to us. As a united na tipn we are most concerned about .the survival of our democratic institutions. Many of us do not know exactly what we are trying to save. There hp ve been many hazy no t i o ns and warped ex planations of dsf-iocracy. It y is not a complex thing that re quires the learned philosophy of a renowned professor. Democ- - racy is a simple process which draws its strength from the fact thajt it is easy to understand and reasonable. - Democracy, in the American sense of the word, is simply that - the individual decides of his own free will to join with his fellows in a collective effort. While tak : . in part in this effort, it is under stood that every individual re serves the right to withdraw from , this collective endeavor if he so s chooses. In other words, democ ' racy is based upon individualism, .' successfully blended through com- riJon consent of individuals to ac cept a combined point of view for the benefit of a whole nation. ' Our people have decided that democracy is worth defending, so we must consider the task. The " most apparent fact is that we must j accept a lower standard of living as a part of our defense obligation. We must submit to heavy taxa . lion.. Many things must be fore gone. In spite of government ef forts at control, prices will rise. The result will be that many will not be able to afford things to which they are now accustomed. Income will lag behind prices, making the lot of all of us more dij&cult. Much can be done through our own efforts to help ourselves. Food is the main essential which ; we all need. Unless we do some- thing about growing more food weT will find ourselves in a diffi- cult position. The hungry people of other nations look to the Unit ed States for food, i The world demand upon this country for foods of high nutri tion will be greater than any of us dream. This demand will cause , a shortage in the supply of many j foods. The price will jump, mak '. ing it more difficult for people of .' low income to secure the foods they need to maintain adequate diets. Soon the health of the na tii will be at stake. No greater 1, permanent damage can be done to democracy than sacrificing the ji health of the democratic people f as a result of inadequate prepara- tion to insure an abundant and ,f: lasting supply of foodstuffs. The maintenance of democracy f requires strong men and women. 1;A coward can rule with gun and f sword, but it takes courage housed In a healthy body to be a worth ; while citizen of democracy. To safeguard democracy we injosf turn to America's greatest " democratic institution the fam i ily farm. Here vegetables, poul vtry, fruit, livestock and dairy ; products are best produced. Besl of all, we can rebuild democracy I while we are fighting for it. Com " tnercial agriculture has ruthlessly .-destroyed the happiness of many farm families, but its day has ; passed; its surpluses are of little '(i value. All America is returning tc i the realization that the strength of this country lies in those small plots of land upon which the fam ily toils, sharing joys and sorrows, but, more than that, sharing th( knowledge that the land will re turn all you put into it. Such families- made America and such families are now necessary tc ; safeguard our people, i No defense effort can pay great er return than the efforts we make to re-establish the rural families of America on farms which thej ban call their own. Children borr to these families will be the divi dends of democracy. THIS DUSINESS OF fuiwti tUSAR THAYIft I . I' Jill SUPPOSE YOU DO DISAGREE The argument between the ladies1 of the Garden Club had been heated. So heated, in fact, that when Mrs Jones got home she was still hot and bothered. "The very idea!" she sputtered to her husband, whom she found smok ing a pipe peacefully on the porch behind the wild cucumber vines, "To say things like that when things are in the state they are today!" and then, "I tell you, Henry, there ought to be a law against people talking like that . . ." "Now, now, Martha," her husband said gently . . . "You sit right down there and relax, while I bring you a nice drink of cold water . . ." She fanned herself with the brim of her hat and was able to smile as she reached for the water her hus band brought her a moment later. "How would you like it if there were a law that kept you from hav ing your say?" he asked her. "But what I say makes sense! It needs to be said," she announced. "I wonder if Mrs. Brown would agree with you about that?" "Of course not, Henry! 6he thinks she's right and I'm wrong. But of course . . . ," "Of course you both have a right to your own opinions and what's more you have a right to express them, even if it does get you all riled up. This is a Democracy, my dear, and in a Democracy the citizens have the privilege of saying what they think about everything under the sun. Usually we don't think much about this right, but at a time like this when emotions run high and people disagree violently we begin to wonder if the other fellow should have the right to express his opinions. We begin to suggest that perhaps certain meetings be prohibited . . ." "And shouldn't they? Didn't it make you fighting mad to hear the things they said at the Municipal Building the other night?" "Of course it did. But not so much I couldn't remember that the kind of liberty we have in this country couldn't exist if it weren't for free speech. The citizens of the United States have said what they thought about things from Colonial days on down. And out of discussion, dis agreement and more discussion has come the whole fabric of our repre sentative democracy. "We're building a great army and producing quantities of armaments in order to defend what we call The American Way of Life. Wouldn't it be plain silly to go to all this effort and sacrifice and then lose our es sential liberty by throwing away one of our most important heritages the right to say what we think when and where and to whom we please?"

BURGESS NEWS Quite a few of the garden crops that are grown in North Carolina produce seed that can be saved if precautions are taken to prevent dis eases from carrying over from year-to-year, says L. P. Watson, Extension horticulturist of N. a State Col lege. "By saving your own seed, you have an opportunity to select those plants which seem to do particularly well under local conditions," Watson said to farmers. "However, many diseases of vegetable crops are seed borne," he added. Beans and peas are among the best crops from which to save seed. Seed can be obtained by marking a few of the finest plants with a bit of cloth at the beginning of the harvesting season. When ripened until the pods are dry, these plants should, be pulled in the early morning to avoid shatter ing. They should then be hung or spread in any airy, dry place until the seed harden. Then the seed should be shelled and spread out, not more than two or three grains deep, and when dry, stored for the winter in a cool, dry place. The best sweet corn seed can be obtained by allowing it to ripen on the plant. Select the best and ear liest ears by stripping down the husks to examine the grain and to remove any worms that may be found. Then carefully fold the husks back and hold them in place by an elastic band or a string. A conven ient way to store sweet corn is by the ear. A single ear will plant a small garden. The same general practices are used in saving other seed, Watson said. Full information on seed-saving may be obtained by writing to the Department of Horticulture, State College Station, Raleigh. 8 PRINTS YOI R FILM 25i Developed and Printed No Fade Quality Pictures Finest Workmanship EIGHT PICTURES 25c LOUIS SELIF ELIZABETH CITY, N.
