We do not believe that the theory hag been thoroughly established but, in view of the active campaign being waged throughout the country to mo- ' bilize scientific methods against it, the hope appears reasonable that, in -time, it will be .mastered and checked by medical experts. Not Spread Abroad President Harry S. Truman calls upon the people of this' country to present "workable planB which will enable the war-devastated countries to face the future with confidence and Success." . He points out that the United States was "largely successful in averting world tragedy through lack of food" and that this country contri buted 71.6 per cent of the tonnage and 68 per celit of the value of sup plies sent into countries receiving relief. This is an item of news. that will not be given wide publicity in coun tries where the governments are in terested in painting the United States as a black-hearted imperialist re gime, attempting to establish its ten tacles throughout the earth. The news will y not be spread by Marshal Tito, although his country received 2,029,394 long tons, of relief supplies, of which more than 1,400, 000 tons represent the generosity of the United States. The Real Super-Power With scientists reported to be on the trail of a new atomic power, which they predict will usher in the super-atomic bomb and the age of super-atomic power, the news comes of a super-deadly poison, which is so powerful that an inch-cube size of it, roughly an ounce, could ' kill every person living in the United States and Canada silently and swiftly. In connection with these items, we remember 'fiat the atom bomb itself has -not revolutionized the processes of the earth and that the super-poison, even if as powerful as described, could not be distributed throughout the two nations in a way to kill everybody. It, is about time that somebody called attention to another power which exists in the world and exer cises dominance over many human beings. It is the power of religion, as practiced in various, forms, by the peoples of the earth. Everywhere in the world there are honest, sincere and kindly human beings, determined to make the earth a better place for better people. The third power, described in the above paragraph, gets very few head lines,' but it will prove more potent than all the explosive forces released by scientists and all the super-poisons developed by man. Despite its great potential power and its effect upon individuals) this 'spiritual force has been hampered by the misguided ef forts of men and women who divide their energy and waste their time upon non-essentials. It may be, some day, men and wo men of good-will throughout the world will have sense enough to work together for their- common good. They can whip atomic bombs and super-poisons. The Conscience The conscience is, a very human trait that apparently has not alto gether been lost in the last few war frenzied years. One large railroad company recently pointed out that letters come in steadily with "con tributions" that range anywhere from S250 to $1.00. The contributions are ) sent in to satisfy that human trait the conscience. Dollar bills come in years after little unpaid debts were ignored. . Railway. persua shading it will sleep better tf night? $ V.-O t ' v " ; Some come in' signed: "A Friend"; others Just say, "I think I .owe yon this.". One letter received merely stated: "I don't no yon and you don't no me so I wilt mention no names. The writer sent one -dollar for, two buckets of coal taken in 1910. , , ' - Most of the letters are sent to re pay debts that have' been standing for many decades.. One man in Georgia sent this note "For cotton lost in transit at Flowery Branch, Georgia, In 1905." He included a check for 250. But that much money is the exception. Usually the letters contain only a dollar or two. 4" Most of the, voluntary repayments are .made for fares that were never, collected. ' Though they outmaneuv ered conductors, these persons send ing in money think they will feel bet ter about it if they pay back the money and let their memories rest. One 'man sent $25 and said that 40 years ago he hummed a 700 mile ride and the enclosed sum was payment at 3.6 cents per mile. 1 Some 38 years ago, a passenger was missed by the conductor in the, regular ticket-taking walk. He cash ed in the unpunched ticket and used the money for something else. To square himself, he later mailed in $20 for the $6 borrowed and good in- terest. Since he didn't sign his name the company couldn't return, the in terest. The conscience fund contributions come in to railway agents all along the line. They might have detailed explanations, or as was the ease with one, $50 bill, came folded in a scrap of unmarked tissue paper. When 'it can, the railroad acknowledges con tributions with a warm letter of ap preciation a personal letter written to bring peace of mind to those who admitted a mistake. WHO KNOWS V.

I State College Trio Study MecliLTid Peanut Harvesting Express Belief Present Diggers Can Be Im proved Upon , " Dr. N. C. Brady, Dr. W. C, Gregory and W. G. Giles from N. a State Col lege spent Friday afternoon in Cho wan. County studying mechanical pea nut diggers . and observing their op eration. These engineer' believe that the present diggers can ge greatly improved upon, but they also believe that a machine can be constructed to pick the peanuts as they are dug. By picking peanuts as they are dug the loni,s to t. f 0 v in prsctl, . .vii. o. The farmers contact.... interested in the idea , of hay. . very much seeing such Engineers are a machine developed making a careful study and are plan ning the development of such a pea nut harvesting- machine, ' A , 1 . ' Mechanival harvesting of peanuts has met with considerable success in the use of labor-saving equipment among Chowan County, peanut grow-J era. - remaps, ouvo; or more ui crop is now being dug by mechanical diggers. These machines are either tractor drawn or tractor " mounted. While all of the machines are rend ering considerable efficiency in labor saving, they are not perfect They are doing a good job at present, but all farmers believe that considerable Improvement can be rnade. Agriculture B&rd Planning WW Peanuts :Occupy: No. 1 Place on New Year's Program, The Chowan County Board of Ag riculture held its. September, meeting at County Agent C. W. Overman s office last week, the meeting having been postponed from the preceding week. Ten of the 12 members were present After Mr. Overman and Robert Marsh, assistant agent, presented re ports of their work, quite a discus sion followed having to do, with a plan of work for 1947. The group recommended to the agents that peanuts occupy number one place in .the program of work with particular effort placed on im proved seed, earlier planting) sulphur dusting to control leafspot and im proved methods of mechanical har vesting. Cotton' was given second place of importance with - the request that particular attention be paid to bring ing in improved seed, fertilization, harvesting and ginning. Due to the fact that some farmers are not inter planting hybrid corn with" soybeans as formerly practiced with their lo cal corn variety, the group recom mended looking for something to take the place of soybeans for soil con servation. In program planning it was decid ed that 4-H club work should be giv- J en major importance along with any other phase of Extension work. The agents suggested the idea of having a simple set of requirements or sug gestions set up for each 4-H project offered so that the project activity would result in a definite teaching program for the club members as well as a demonstration to others. This, was practiced in 4-H corn and pea nut projects this year and is meet ing with a Very good degree of sue cess. f ile a TaI Troing Required Vet Administration Of- ficial Says Incorrect Reports Received Information concerning submission of wage reports by veterans engaged in institutional and on-the-job train ing is released by Warren G. Knight, local VA -Contact Representative,, as follows: '4' Responsibilities of North Carolina veterans taking institutional and On-the-job training, in so far as report: ing wages w concerned, were Oyt-4 lined today by the Veterans Admin istration. Veterans getting subsistence al lowance checks from the government for August, September and October are also receiving notices asking them to report wages for each of those months. E. C. Hemingway, Regional V A Chief of vocational re habilitation and education, stated that many incorrect reports are being received. "The monthly, report should show all wages, commissions and bonuses received by a veteran as result of productive labor during that monjh," Hemingway explained. "It must show the wages received both with in the training v-; establishment and from other employment." , The report of wages should not in-, elude subsistence allowance, nor earn ings from Voluntary, overtime. The information on earnings must be furnished by" veterans by the 10th day of the month following the month fn which . the income was .received.; After October, i however, reports will be made at the' end of four-month periods, instead of monthly, on forms to be supplied by.
