fAGE SIX Tm PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD. N. FRIDAY. DECEMBER it M49 LOOKING AT WASHJNGTON (Continued from Page Four) amid the praise bestowed. We have faint idea of what most of these orators mean by their words, but we are utterly unable to comprehend the idea that present -war production represents private capitalism at its patriotic best The facts of the matter are that, without immense governmental con tributions, the vast production would not be underway. The government has been a partner in practically every industrial accomplishment of the present war. It has contributed the money tad, In mW7 Iwtaneea, has done the ideas. It is entitled to some u oil the basis of a comparison the credit for what has been done, . what occurred during the first World lYice Control Protect Vn j War, its program of price controls The American people are spena- has saved the Government about tog about ninety billion dollars a year seventy billion dollars In the ex tor living .exr wises, according to pense of 'fighting the war.

Charge It To the War In pre-w-i years tlie Lnned States consumed about oo,()t:o urns or' na tural lub i-r a.m..aiiy.

Already there is considerable spec ulation as to the .fate of the syn thetic rubber industry when the war js over and natural rubber becomes again available. So far, the synthetic rubber has not demonstrated competitive qual ities in the tire .and tube market, which normally utilises three-fourths of the rubber infrorted into the United iStates. Apparently, a return to the use of naturaTtnbber for tires and tubes is inevitable, regardless of price. : - There is something of a demand in the country for a subsidy to enable the synthetic product to compete with natural rubber after the war. Even if the nation adopts this doubtful plan, the failure of syn thetic rubber to provide satisfactory material for tires and tubes will limit the use of synthetic rubber. a Mfairb-asserting tlt r;ft TMImp Uftva produce More jvuik An abundant supply of good, le gume hay with 4 reasonable amount of grain is invaluable in milk pro duction, says John A. Arey, in charge of dairy Extension at State College, He points to the record of the Holstein herd of vthe State Hospital at Golds boro, which produced an average of 12,452 pounds of milk per cow in 1942 with an average of 456 pounds of butterfat. This was the highest record in ttie State for twice a day milking as measured in the Dairy Herd Improvement Asso ciation tests. "North State. Bonita 1808540" of the State Hospital farm has just completed a 365-day record, with twice a day milking, and the produc tion was 520,013 '.pounds of miik and 791.9 pounds of "butter fat. The dairy animals at-, trie State 'Hospital were not ''given' 'any special attention and no ;atW,n was made, to set any records) $$K "excellent record of this her ''be , chiefly traced to the fact 'that the' animals i are given plenty , x,Mgn quality legume hay with a returnable amount of grain. At the; present time the farm has 435 tons of tespedeza and other legume hays and" this feed sup-J ply will go a long, way toward maintaining good milk production during the coming year, Arey says. In addition to an abundant supply pf good hay, he urges all dairymen to develop good permanent pastures because over the years it has been shown that they furnish a cheap source of valuable feed. "The 'Food For Freedom' fight is calling for the largest possible sup ply of milk and all growers should seek to produce more home-grown feeds of high quality to help increase milk production," Arey points out Towe Motor Co. SALES AND SERVICE ( 1 Phone 2461 Hertford, N. C. j 18-Hour Work Week Applicable To All Employers Of Eight The 48-hour work week, which was established in the Elizabeth City Area on November 15, 1943, applies to all employers of 8 or more em ployees, according to an announce ment made by P. B. Pollock, Area Director, War Manpower Commission. Therefore, employers in this category should be making plans and arrang ing their schedules so that the 48- hour week can be adopted as quickly as possible. Pursuant to Executive Order No, 2 9301, issued on February 9. 1943. the x 1 President, as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, ordered that, "For the duration of the war, no plant, factory, or other place of em ployment shall be deemed to be mak ing the most effective utilization of its manpower if the minimum work week therein is less than 48 hours." In accordance with this Executive or der, and since the Elizabeth Citv ! Area has been declared critical hv the War Manpower Commission, it is the responsibility of all employers to comply strictly with the order and establish the 48-hour work week in their place of business. The Eliza beth City Area consists of the coun ties of Camden. Chowan. Curritiirfc . JJare, Urates, 1'erquimans, and quobank, and all employers in the seven counties are affected by the requirements of the 48-hour work week. Training School News The N. F.
