4', THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HBMTTOBP, N. C, FHIPAY. JULY 9, 1943 - 1 i 1 11 LOOS AT WASHINGTON By Ha jg, Sims, Washington CotrespMMlent De Gaulle A Poor Ally. Seeks Absolute Control. We have always been of the opinion that the United States and Great Britain were too much concerned over the opinions and actions of General Charles De Gaulle. The activity of the leader of the Free French, since the Fall of France, has been possibly largely be cause the British permitted him vo use a radio and provided funds to finance his organization. In repayment, General De Gaulle has displayed a disconcerting ambi tion for political control of Frencn fortunes and, it appears, demanded complete control of the military forces of France. General Giraud, somewhat older, has been no match for De Gaulle in the effective use of political propa ganda. His position in North Africa has been saved bv the intervention of the United States and Great Britain lh advising De Gaulle that Giraud must remain in command of French armed forces in North Africa. A Washington dispatch by Harold Callender explains that General De Gaulle has gained support among the youths of North Africa, telling tnem that General Giraud is a puppet of ' the Allies, that France is treated worse than Luxembourg because, al though her army fights with the Allies, there is no French flag among those of the United Nations, no French government represented in their councils and not even full French sovereignty in North Africa. The General, apparently, seeks to convince the French people that "France is being humiliated by the Allies as well as bv the Germans." The unwillingness of De fianll to cooperate fully with Giraud in North Ainca, together with these revela tions of his propaganda to the French population, coniirms previous suspi cions and convinces us that it would be a mistake to nut too much eonfi dence in the Fighting French leader. Preparing To Blast Japan U. S. Plana An Offensive. Bearing in mind the long supply lines tnat stretch across the Pacific and the fact that Japan is an island empire, destined to live or die on the sea, it is interesting to read the statement of the Secretary of the Navy, Frank. Knox, that the United aiaies is not building up its bases, us troop strength and its air power in the South Pacific for defensive purposes. Mr. Knox savs that carrier production nrojrxamwhich is iw.-uiariy viiai w we South Pacific offensive in making good progress. The United States will soon have "several times the number" f riers that were with the fleet in 1942 ment; (3) Heavy damage inflicted upon German submarine-building plants and operational bases by bombing; and, (4) The phenomenal record of 4-H Clubs! Give Army Ambulance North Carolina 4-H Club boys and girls celebrated Independence Day this year on July 3, by giving the U. S. Army a completely equipped ambu lance for overseas service, says L. R. Han-ill, State Club leader for the Extension Service at N. C. Statu College. The ambulance was presented to a selves. "Fourteen enlisted men invited fourteen officers to be their 'Dads for a day' at this party. In all, more than 300 enlisted men 'adopted' English and American fathers at Father's Day celebrations in London." PAGE THREE ship-building in this country, where!

Now Has Become Greatest Fighting Pwer In World's History Ihe United States has now be come the world's first militarv Dower. with Army, Navy and Air Force of the first magnitude, backed by an in dustrial plant which simply over whelms the world in production. In the air, there is no match for the fighting machine created by this country. The Armv Air Force wir? soon equal the full air strength of our enemy nations, with ten fighting forces overseas develoninar aerial war fare on a scale hitherto undreamed of. The Army air strength is supple mented by the planes, carriers and bases of the Navy which, for many years, enjoyed recognized over other nations. In addition, the strength of the Navy in fighting ships cannot be ap proached by Great Hritai few months, our fiirhtinir fw't ,.,.ti probably be three times as larEe as uiai oi japan. The Army is not yet as big as other armies, but it challenges the fighting men of any other country, including Russia and Germany, and carries a lire power that is greater than similar" organizations. It is be ing rapidly trained and conditioned for offensive action wherever needed. There are other factors in the fighting power of a nation. In the present warfare, nothing exceeds in importance our fleet of cargo ships. In 1942. we had nhnnt - - uv fll III 11- lion tons of ocean-going shipping.

The proceedings were broadcast over Radio Station WPTF. On the same day, Miss Frances Banks, president of the North Caro lina 4-H Club Council and a member from Pasquotank County, appeared on the National Farm and Home Hour program from Washington in Dre- senting another 4-H ambulance to the Army. She represented the Southern States and wa. accompanied to Washington by Miss Celeste Soivev. home demonstration of the Extensr.m Service in I'a.squotank County. Through a salvage program in North Carolina club members collect ed $1,741.66 for the ambulance fund and came second on the honor roil among all the states in the L'. S. The variety of ways in which this money was accumulated is a real tri bute to the ingenuity and resource fulness of the 4-H boys and girls.

In the early days of the war, according to some newspaper corre spondents, ships frequently stayed m ports for months, awaiting unloading.

North Carolina poultry growers must turn to soybeans, cowpeas, les pedeza, and the clovers as a source of proteins, since the supply from animal sources has been greatly re duced because of the war, says K. S. Dearstyne, head of the Poultry De partment at N. C. State College. This means that growers must put their flocks on temporary pastures oi legumes and make use ot range shelters, which may be constructed from scrap materials found about the farm. A cow pasture provides an excellent range for pullets, since cows keep the e-rass well crooned, thus making available a constant supply of young, tender green blades. Commercial fishing has been cur tailed and fish meals are not being imported from other countries, ac cording to Dearstyne. Adequate sup-, plies of bone meal, which supply the necessary phosphorous for poultry foods, are also very small and cannot be depended upon. An effort is be ing made to extract the flourine from rock phosphate, so that this source oi phosphorous can be used to meet the need of poultry growers. Feed manufacturers are doinn the best job possible in mixing feeds un der the present wartime conditions. Dearstyne advises that poultry grow ers supplement these feeds with crops which are easily produced on the farm so that the chickens may be kept in just as healthy a condition as possible. Especially in the care ot late hatched chicks thir ": particular ly important because they are subject to a rather hieh rate of mortality. U. S. Department of Agriculture support prices on Irish potatoes will be continued in North Carolina throughout the entire marketing sea son and it is not necessary for grow ers to dig potatoes prematurely in order to obtain prices set at the sup port level, according to H. A. Patten, State AAA executive assistant. The Department announced earlier this year that it would support the 194JI crop of Irish potatoes at $2.25 per 100 pounds for No. 1 potatoes in carload lots. Potatoes grading at least 85 percent No. 1 will be sup ported at $2.15 per hundred, and U. S. Commercials will be supported at $2.05 per hundred. The support price for potatoes grading No. 2 or U. S. No. 1 size Ii will be supported at .$1.35 per 100 pounds. The ceiling price at which growers may sell po tatoes in North Carolina is $2.70 per hundred. "It is reported in several areas that some producers are speeding digging operations in order to receive higher prices, even though the potatoes they are marketing- are unusual) V Ci all ' Patten said. "iSince arrangements for government buying will bepin as soon as prices go below the sup port levels, many producers will find they can obtain a larger net return for t Vi i ; i ... F""oe.s oy marketing them . a little later in the season." in addition to the price supports. ! growers this year will receive a special payment from the AAA of ou cents per bushel, times the conn iys normal yield, on all potatoes pruuucea on acreages between 90 and jiu percent of individual farm goals, pruvioeo the farm has a goal of at least, iwo acres. were nave been just 26,809 more births than deaths in North Carolina this year, exclusive of June figures, which will be available July 16. Despite the phenomenal increase in the number of births through Mav. I there were only 1,919 deaths reported among babies under a year old, as compared with 1,980 the correspond ing months last year, showing a de crease of 61 in favor of 1943. This is highly gratifying to public health officials, according to Dr. George M. Cooper, Director of the Board of Health's services to moth ers and babies. It shows, he nointeH out, that the 300 maternal and in fancy clinics throughout the State. as well as parents under the care of private practitioners, are doinir a good job. "It is highly important that infancy and childhood be given every protection, if we are to build up a strong post-war race," Doctoi Cooper said. , Only 140 mothers of the 39,653 ba bies born so far this year died in childbirth or as the result of preg nancy, Dr. Cooper pointed out, as compared with 135 who died in con nection with the birth of 35141 through May Last year.
