Farm Market Important The Department of Commerce em phasizes the importance of the farm market for industrial goods, saying it should play an important part in our post-war economy. Tha survey points out that some 6,000,000 persons left the farms dur ing 1940-45, but thafthe net income of farmers rose from $5,600,000,000 to $14,800,000 in those years. Farm prosperity, it predicts, should continue at least until well into 1948. For Motor Car Inspection One of the best ways to prevent accidents' is to provide for the inspec tion of motor vehicles, with especial attention to the brakes. Such an in spection program is not apt to be popular with some operators of worn out, dangerous and defective auto mobiles and trucks. Nevertheless, in the interest of the public.it is nec essary to provide -rigorous inspection in order to eliminate unsafe cars from the traffic. We should not overlook, in con nection with the accidents on our streets and highways, that it is not always the culpable individual who suffers serious injury or death. Very often, innocent individuals, either passengers or pedestrians, lose their lives or receive severe bodily injuries through the carelessness of others. They are entitled to protection. Time To Show Russia The suggestion that the United States and Great Britain may link their zones of occupation in Germany, despite the objection of Russia, em phasizes the failure of the Big Four nations to cooperate. Mr. Byrnes has pointed out that this country made every effort to se cure cooperation in the management of the four zones of operation and stated that if this proves impossible, it will be necessary to adopt a policy of three-zone or twoione unity as being better than no unity at all. We are among those who hope for peace between the Communistic state of Russia and the Capitalistic demo cracies of the West, but we do not believe that this will be brought about by any policy of appeasing the Russians. It is necessary for the United States, Great Britain and France to get together in the mana gement of the sections of Germany occupied by their forces and, if nec essary, to consider the possibility of putting into effect fair and just long range policies for the German people. If the Russians do not care to see this happen, they have the opportun ity to exhibit some of the cooperation that their officials so often demand. It is inconceivable that the Russian leaders do not understand the neces sity of cooperating with the Allies, but it is apparent that the present policy of the Kremlin is to stand firm for everything that the Russians de sire. To meet such a policy, it is essential that the other Allies join in a demonstration to convince the Moscow statesmen that the policy adopted will not prove profitable to Russia in the long run. . No One Betrayed America There have been from the outset two distjnet, though related, questions before the Congressional Pearl Har bor Investigating Committee: First, did the Army and Navy, from: the top down to the local command ers, do all that experienced officers could be expected to do toward keep ing the Hawaiian defenses in a state of alert preparedness, ' within the resources of men and equipment, directives from above, and pertinent information available to them ? Second, was the Administration's Japanese policy so unwise, the diplo macy eo inept, and-the liaison with the War and Navy Departments so inadequate, that such a state of pre paredness could not have been ex pected from the armed forces ? In placing the weight of responsi bility on the Army and 'Navy and in .particular on the local -commanders, Admiral Khnrnel and General Short, the committees majority report agrees substantially with the findings of ,all - previous Inquiries, The fact Scouting Around f. Li,By 1' ,i - PETER CARLTON Good - to Get Back Being . away two weeks for a vacation'in Alabama was like a "busman's ; holiday". Couldn't resist visiting camps and the like. Troop 156, Edenton is off to Dar den Scout Reservation with . almost 100 attendance. Scoutmaster Char lie Overman went with his boys. The boya ought to come back with some honors. Last year several won the "gold nuggett" award. And who knows, maybe some will be sporting the special insignia for "The Order of the Arrow". Scouters Training Certificates: We have On hand certificates for the fol lowing Scouters who completed the recent Scoutmasters' Training Course given in Edenton in the Scout Cabin. Instructors Certificates will be issued to H. A. Campen, Ernest Kehayes, Dr. W4 S. Griffin, Irving Leigh, Philip McMullan, C. W. Overman, G. B. Potter and Frank McGoogan. Cer tificates for completing the course will be issued to the foregoing and also to: Scoutmaster O. C. Long, West Leary and Tex Lindsay. These Scouters will receive also a beauti ful engraved wall certificate with spaces provided for gold seals which will mark their progress towards their Scouters' and Scoutmasters' Keys. A dinner is being- planned now for presentation of these certi ficates and it is expected that many Scouters, their wives, and friends, will turn out for the occasion. Health and Safety Course Scout master Charles Overman also com pleted the Health and Safety Course given in the East Albemarle. Accord ing to reliable reports Charlie is just about ready to receive his Scout masters' Key, one of the highest awards a Scoutmaster can earn. Camporee ' Emblems These em blems and streamers for those troops and patrols earning standard or pro ficiency ratings are on hand. They really look good, too. Troop 158, Sunbury Will hold its committeemen and Scout meeting this coming Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock at the Agricultural Building in Sunbury. Flans will be made for a trip to Kitty Hawk. All Scouts are urged to turn out. Lost Colony On the way to the site had a chance to visit with the Rev. Vance Lewis, Scoutmaster of Troop 160 in Wanchese. Also Scout master Dan Cannady. It was good to see Eagle Scout Dan Cannady, Jr., taking part in the pageant. There were other Scouts and Cubs taking part in the activities. Darden Reservation Over 100 Scouts from the Tidewater Council will be at camp this week. New ones come in each week. It s a great camping year. Troop 163, Elizabeth City, went with almost 60 per cent of its troop. South Mills is 'getting ready to go now. Come on in, fel lows, the water's fine! Moyock Ruritans A now" troop is in the making in Moyock. A funda mentals course was given to over 50 people recently and in addition to a committee, a Scoutmaster is chosen, Billy West. Enlisted Reserves Form Organization In State Sgt. Fisher of the Army recruiting team in Edenton each Tuesday, re leases the information that an En listed Reserve Association was con stituted in Raleigh on June 25, the Charter extending membership to members of the enlisted reserves of any branch of the armed forces of the United States. Members of Nat ional Cuard units not in Federal ser vice are considered reservists. , Patrick H. Greene, student at N. C. State College and a sergeant in the Army Air Reserve, was elected presi dent. Chapters have been formed in Ral eigh, Winston-Salem and Asheville. Members of any enlisted reserve component who are interested in that two Republicans 'joined six Dem ocrats in a verdict which largely ab-. solves the late President Roosevelt, relieves this report somewhat from charges of partisanship. The contrary fact that the only dis senters, Senators Ferguson of Michi gan and Brewster of Maine, are both Republicans weakens their minority report inescapably, regardless of how sincere and ably argued it jmay be. So far, only ari "unofficial", preview of the committee's findings is avail able. The full texts may alter the picture, but only in detail. The .ma jor outlines of the two, reports and the division of the committee could have been predicted pretty accu rately. w Y'r h tf. On an issue so fraught with po-'; litical implications una centering about so controversial a figure, no committee could be expected to pro- ouce a unanimous report or one com pletely free "from partisanship'. ; Tak ing ' this ' into account,' Americans should know by now what led to the disastrous surprise at Pearl Harbor: that - there was confusion, lack" of contact, and lack of foresight; but that ' no ' one betrayed .

Record Crowd Of Pans Though the Albemarle League all star game attracted a record crowd of fans in' Hertford Thursday night of last week, the game was uninter esting aa the Northern group easily defeated the Southern half by a score of 14-6. The attendance was es timated at 1,800. y i :.. The Northern team was composed of players from Elizabeth City, Cam den and Hertford, while Edenton, Colerain and Camden players com prised the ' Southern team. HEALTH FOR ALL SUNTAN OR SUNBURNT Many people think of summer in terms of suntan. Unfortunately, in their enthusiasm for a healthy tan, they sometimes forget that an over dose of anything, even of surf, may be dangerous. Children need sunshine and fresh air to grow up sturdy and strong. Men llMkH lfirlif unA Biinoliino frt IrAan healthy. But too much sunshine at one time can be dangerous and .should be avoided. Suntan may' look healthy and it may enhance one s looks but don't rush nature in getting it. Too much exposure to the sun over a short per iod of time can have painful conse quences. The sun can burn as seve rely as a man-made fire. No one would deliberately burn himself with a hot coal. Why, then, expose oneself to being burned by the sun ? During vacation or weekend trips to the shore, the sun should be taken in small doses, at least until the skin has become accustomed to the heat of the sun's rays. It should be re membered, too, that some types of fllcin hurn mimh mn ..aortiKr fhovi others. People whose skin burns easily should be very careful to avoid direct exposure to the sun. Sunburn can be as dangerous as an ordinary burn. It may cause the skin to blister, or may brine on a headache, nausea and fever. It catls I for treatment just as a burn from a fire does. If one knocks his hand against a hot stove and is severely burned, it is unfortunate, but it is an accident. If one hurries to the beach the first warm day of summer and deliberately lies in the sun for hours, it is no ac cident if he is burned. The burn is WE ; 1 IX J ' t An f X , VISIT THE T i 1 1; M jr - aw 1P I Iff HI I : 4 .. V V . ' .'X. ..

Gradual exposure to the sun is more apt w lead to suntan instead of blisters. The person who la careless or for getful and is beguiled into loitering in the sun for a long stretch on the first) day of his outing must expect to suffer- a burn. , He should Ipemenv ber, then, that the burn must be treat) ed as any other type of burn, " Ap plications of plain baking soda and wate or of a. greasy salve will pro vide relief. A burn is not Just' a local affair, it may Upset the entire system. The patient should rest, in a coo place, ; and drink plenty 1 of liquids and eat only light foods. -Rather than go through the agony of healing a burn, why not avoid it? Good Practices Give Record Crop Of Pigs A record of spring pigs were saved this year, reports Jack Kelley, Ex tension swine specialist of State Col lege, and because of this the pig Crop is larger than last year. , 1 An average of 6.5 pigs per litter for the entire state is a great im Provement over ten years ago and is encouraging to swine men. The cause for this . remarkably good record in volves several factors: first, excep tionally good weather during farrow ing time; second, wider use of clean er, tighter houses with sloping floor and guard rail; third, more rigid cul ling of breeding hogs and the saving of sows wth good farrowing records in numbers of pigs raised past wean ing age; fourth, general increase in knowledge of how to cope with dis eases and the use of practices pro moting herd health. The tendency is to wait for . the corn crop by using pasture and ! f ougha?e instad,of pushing the pigs to market on full rations. This fits well with the support price program. Fewer but healthier pigs that grow pa,y 18 a requirement now that feeds are dree. j "In general farmers are exerting more than usual precautions to keep their herds healthy, with consequent ly more pigs saved and greater profit realized", says Dr. C. D. Grinnells, State College experiment station vet erinarian. For one thing, the use of sodium floride in eliminating intes tinal worms is increasing this season. "Darling," mother anxiously in quired, "what can I do to induce yon to ' 10 bed now ':" "You can let me sit up a little while longer," was the innocent reply.
