It Pays To
Investigate
The tide of anti-totalitarian action
in 6outh America rises rapidly.
Colombia's alertness in exposing
and suppressing a plot to permeate
the Army , with Nazi-Fascist propa
ganda is only the latest in a series
of strokes from one end of the con
tinent to the other.
Organized labor in Costa Rica has
just demanded a more vigorous stand
against -Nazi influence in that Cen
tral American democracy.
Argentina, hitherto the least con
vinced of American nations , concern
ing the immediacy of Nazi threats,
has swung over suddenly into a posi
tion of leadership against the Fifth
Column. j5ten the most .trustful have
been startled by. ramifications of
Nazi plotting uncovered on a continent-wide
Scale, by .an Argentine -investigating
committee.
German diplomats are disclosed to
have extended their net of intrigue
from Berlin through Buenos Aires to
Bolivia, eru,,jind Ecuador in a se
ries of fomented eruptions. Argen
tina took warning from Bolivia's ex
pulsion of the German Minister,
Ernst Wendler, when documentary.
evidence was, found linking him to a
planned, coupiagainst President Pen
aranda. ThenT in Argentina's own
Parana, apital of Entre Rios Pro
vince, a similar plot was exposed and
suppressed.
Mexico, Cuba, and even Chile, ai-w
speaking up frith increasing boldness.
More mgnifieantly, they are acting
to stamp out Fifth Columns. Latin
Americans evidently are convinced of
two facts: That their own national
freedom is bound up with defeat of
Nazi ism, and that it is now safe to
adopt a more independent line in
view of reverses sustained by the
Nazis in Europe. The Christian Sci
ence Monitor.
A Lesson From
The British
Winston Churchill courageously as
serted his leadership of the British
Empire before the House of Com
mons, refusing to yield to his critics
and challenging the House to repud
iate his government.
The great war Prime Minister ig
nored the bickering of professional
"viewers with alarm" and candidly
warned the British people that they
could not count on Russia and the
United States to win the war for
them.
Mr. Churchill sternly cautioned his
people to be on guard for an inva
sion in September, declaring that it
was not sure that Hitler might not
gamble on the great venture.
Few English-speaking people have
failed to admire the bold, bluff brav
ery of this war leader of an empire,
now beset as she has never been as
(sailed before. Few will forget his
stern promise of desperate and un
ending resistance to the Germans
when France, sworn ally of former
wars, gave up the fight.
In his words to the House of Com
mons, and indirectly to the people of
f is nation, there is a lesson for those
m m who now live under a precari
.us peace in the United gtates..,Like
the British, we are inclined to be
lieve that other peoples will do the
fighting that may. be necessary and
that we will manage to escape the
losses of warfare.
This was the British idea for many
years, as the balance of power in Eu
rope enabled the empire to tip the
scales either way and thai maintain
peace, This may have been the idea
whea, Hitler began his mad career,

THIS BUSINESS
OF
Y
SUSAN THAYfft
THIS AMAZING LAND
They were lined up three deep at
the stockinsr counter clamorinsr for
supplies of silk or nylon stockings
larsre enousrh to last six months or
perhaps longer.
As one woman near me said,
"There's no telling what will happen
and the only way to be sure is to
have plenty on hand."
To be sure of what, I wondered?
Of comfort? There was a time, anc
not so many decades ago, when
women wore cotton stockings to keep
their ankles warm and dry, and
there is no threat of a cotton short
age.
To be sure of smartness : If a
few hundred well-dressed women be
gin wearing cotton stockings this
fall or winter, they'll soon be smart
enough to suit the rest of us. Or if
they should prefer to go bare-legged
or wear socks such as college gityt
do, why this will be "the thing" to
do. Perhaps -iJffifcre long we'll be
looking back on fhe silk stocking era
with that tolerant smile we used
when looking at pictures of hats
worn in our mother's youth!
An acceptable, good looking sub
stitute for silk stockings will be
available if the need for it arises,
just as substitutes for aluminum are
now being used. There's only one
thing that matters these long sunny
August days. To keep ourselves at
maximum efficiency as we concen
trate on defense production as we
build the armaments that will make
America strong enough to resist any
jugated, will do the fighting. Like
the British, in years past, we offer
to provide the munitions, equipment
and supplies that will keep them in
battle.
In this, we deserve no censure and
certainly seek no credit. The geo
graphy of the prasent crisis presents
us the opportunity, just like it helped
the British in former years. Unfor
tunately, we will firid, as the British
discovered, that geography is not
enough and that the hour comes
when every people must strike in its
own defense.
History Turns A Page
France, after straddling the fence
for months, has finally jumped over
into the "greener fields" of the Nazi.
Only historians will write the true
facts marking this definite end to
the Franco-British friendship which
has lasted during the past century.
To our way of "wishful thinking"
France will at some date be sorry,
for not only have the old men at
Vichy caused a final and definite
break between England and France,
they, have placed a breach between
France and the United States.
It may "be 'that after this hell b
over this friendship may be pajfethed
up, but we sincerely dotM II $ve
reaches the point where those two
countries will again, together, hold
the balance of power that will control
Europe.
It seems to us that France has re
verted to form and is again one of
the lesser, squabbling pieces of land
that Europeans call a nation.
BELVIDERE NEWS
Mr. and Mrs. F. C. White returned

Meeting of Friends at Guilford Col

Mrs, Thomas. Forbes end Mrs. An
They wen accompanied by
possibility of attack. If the silk ana
nylon ordinarily used for stockings
are needed for defense production,
there isn't a woman in this country
who wouldn't vote to have them used
for that rather than to have more
silk stockings for herself.
We've been spoiled by the versa
tile, efficient manufacturers of this
country, who have given us such a
wealth of useful and beautiful things
that we have come to believe there
could never be an end to them. No
where in the world have women tak
en luxuries for granted as we have
here. But now we're getting 4own
to brass tacks. We're learning that
it takes raw materials as well as
machines and skill to give us the
things we're used to, such as automo
biles and kitchen utensils and silk
stockings. If those raw materials
are needed. fo something mpranYital
.then we. may have to do . without
some of the things we're used
for a while.
We're also discovering that there
is something more important to us
than our personal appearance some
thing more precious than comfort
that is the strength 'and welfaoe ot
our country. So whether you have
a drawer full of silk stockings or not,
never mind. If you have to wear a
substitute before other women, who
laid in big supplies do, what on earth
does it matter?
America is growing stronger- day
by day . . . and that's what matters!

According to the Agricultural Mais
keting Service of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, North Carolina
farmers expect , to harvest 497,000
bales of cotton this year compared
with 789,000 bales last year and a
ten-year ' (1930-39) average of 629,
000 bales. This is 33 percent less
than produced in 194 and-21 percent
below tie ten-year average produc
tion. August 1st condition of the crop
indicated a yield per acre of 297
pounds, or 130 pounds less than the
record yield: of 427 pounds harvested
last year. . .
July weather was favorable for
boll weevils and light to heavy in
festations were reported throughout
the State on August 1st. Fields are
badly infested in the southeastern
portion of the State, particularly in
Robeson, Scotland, and Richmond
counties. In .Chowan, however, little
damage by boll weevils is reported.
July weather was especially favor
able for rapid, somewhat weedy
growth of cotton. Plants in many
areas of the State are larger than
average for this season of the year.
Of course, serious changes in
weather conditions after August 10th,
may alter the expected yield consid
erably. Seventeen Found To
Be Average Age Man
Starts To Drinking
"The real key to the problem of
whiskey addiction lies in the field of
education," states C. D. Cunning
ham, Director of the Alcoholic Re
search Department of the Keeley In
stitute, in Greensboro, this week.
"This organization has just com
pleted a study of the history of more
than 400,000 Keeley patients who
have taken treatment for whiskey
addiction during the past 50 years.
Among the startling facts revealed
by this study is that the average
man needing treatment started his
drinking at the tender age of seven
teen," Mr. Cunningham continued.
"A thorough training in the ef
fects of alcohol upon the mind and
body, given in the grammar Bchools
of the nation, would' be the greatest
single step toward a logical solution
of the problem that has yet been
made. We who have worked for a
half-century with the treatment of
men addicted to whiskey will be the
first to subscribe to this long-range
program of control." was Mr. Cun
ningham's closing comments.
Committeeman Answers
Questions About
Wheat Insurance
W. Herbert White, Caswell county
grain farmer and member of the
State AAA committee, has listed the
following answers to the question
"how wheat crop insurance helps
the farmer and the business man:"
"In putting in a wheat crop there
are certain fixed charges such as
tractor fuel and oil, seed and fertili
zer, besides, sometimes, labor hire.
All of these mean an outlay of cash
that many of we farmers have to get
on credit. A banker or a merchant
won't hesitate to give credit till har
vest to a fanner who has insurance
on his crop.
"That means sound credit ana
sound credit means a low interest
rate. If the crop is protected by in
surance, the farmer, and the busi
ness man, need not worry about Ioss-
ea
which could occur from such
things
as hail, storm or drought.
There is certainty that, there will be
a cash return from the crop which is
Insured."
The Caswell farmer explained that
the wheat insurance proposition
works on the same plan as fire in
surance on other property: the farm
er can insure up to 50 or 75 pei
cent of his crop.
Premium rates, it was added, are
based, on "less. . post." v Premiums are
paid on so many bushels u of - wheat
and, the farmer jis guaranteed , that
many bushels a(iujr,iiimei.,re!
gardless of the price of the crop, Mr.
White added. -v.
Soybeans Satisfactory
For Pigs During Early
Fattening Period I
j Each year large quantities of soy
beans are left in the fields on North
Carolina farms unused despite their
value as food for young pigs, says
ElSts V. Vestal, swine specialist, says
tjie Extension Service of State Col
lege;-:' r':cwtf.&&.&-,? 'W;
"Some of the soybeans left on the

Since, .soybeans, also produce soft
pork, the 1937 experiment was plan
ned so as to start the pigs at initial
weights of 40 pounds feed them on
soybeans for a gain , of 4$ pounds,
then change them to corn ration
containing 13 percent cottonseed
meal for , the latter part of the fin'
ishing period. The plan was to re
move the pigs from soybeans at an
average weight, of 85 pounds and put
them on t the corn-cottonseed meal
diet until they had attained an aver
age slaughter weight of 226 pounds,
Mr. Vestal continues.
From results to date, it appears
that a basic ration of soybeans, eith
er in the field or dry lot, will pro
duce as good gains when supplement
ed with a mineral mixture as when
fed with a protein-mineral-alfalfa
leaf mixture. A small amount of
ground legume hay seems necessary,
however, when the pigs are kept in a
dry lot.
