S. Route 17 in the manner in which it is 1 beinr donr. Editor Haskett says, "Whatever the composition that is being put on the smooth concrete surface of the road, it is evident now that it is go ing to create a headache and a per manent repair job for the highway forces. Only part of the highway has been resurfaced . . . yet on Monday afternoon of this week the editor of this newspaper, riding over the high way noticed in numerous places where the material being used has already broken up, leaving small holes all the way down to the original pavement. The facts are plain. Surely if the average motorist using this highway now detects faulty work, then it should be seen by the highway engi neers, who should realize the waste of money and the serious results that will be lasting if the present project is carried through. We do not like the word pressure or what the word implies politically, but it seems that pressure is the only term politicians understand when it comes to situations such as this. We think it is now time for the public and public officials of this county and our neighbors in Pasquo tank to apply the pressure on the Highway Commission to either stop this project entirely or do a repair job on the highway that will result in a lasting improvement instead of a patched up secondary road. Other counties of North Carolina have some excellent highways, Mr. Commissioners. Why isn't something done for the Albemarle area?

The award is the second issued to this newspaper for public service. ing that it is the best measure of the balance between agriculture and our entire economy. He asserts that the farmers should have a fair share of the national income, proportionate to j the percentage of the national popula-l tion on farms, adjusted for the rela- tive cost of producing and living on the farm under modern conditions. j oise Jackson, of Elizabeth City, Mrs. Worthington and Miss Irene Worth ington of Winterville and Mrs. C. E. Winslow of Roanoke, Va. Physical Education Needed In Schools A publication of the National Edu cation Association tells us that "ade quate school health programs are im perative," which is about what we have tried to tell our readers for some years. One out of every three men called into service after Pearl Harbor was unfit for duty. This applies to those between the ages of 18-37, but even among the 18-19 group the rejections were one out of four. In the 18-19 ages rejections among the whites were 23.8 per cent and among Negroes 46.5 per cent. For farm youth the rejections were 41 per cent compared to 25 per cent for all occupational groups. This evidence of physical disability Is not onlv a challenge to the nation but a condemnation. Parents, schools, public health services, doctors and lawmakers share the blame. Every individual is partly responsible inso far as he, or she, did not do anything to remedy the appalling lack of proper physical education and development. There are some signs of physical education in Perquimans County but the truth of the matter is that what has been attempted is woefully inade quate. Even the programs of our schools is but a feeble start upon the great task of insuring proper physi cal growth for boys and girls. Authorities suggest that adequate school programs are imperative. They are right in this suggestion, even if the program costs money. School years are critical for physical growth and most students need more than ever a sensible routine of health, physical education and proper recreation. Depression, Then Boom While there is no way of ascertain ing the correctness of the prediction made by economists, and the record shows that they are wrong about as often as anybody else, the public is usually interested in what a so-called expert thinks about future trends. This leads to the views of General Leonard C. Ayres, Cleveland banker, who, in a recent address, declared that business is entering a primary post war depression, evidenced by increas ing unemployment, declining produc tion and falling national incomes, but added that this is to be expected after a great war and coincides with the transition into peace-time economy. The economist does not consiaer the condition alarming and predicts that the national income will begin to rise as early as the middle of 1946. While reconversion may be retarded and pro duction curtailed by labor strikes and price controls, the Cleveland man sees a boom of great intensity and of prob ably considerable duration in the na tion. He points out that the people have "shortages of everything except money," that many debts have been paid, that savings have accumulated and that the public now has about four times as much actual and poten tial purchasing power as it possessed in 1929.
