Do We Want Tourists?
One of the nation's leading auth
orities on travel by automobile pre
dicts that motorists will move more
than 20,000,000 miles this year and
spend around $10,000,000,060.
If this estimate is correct, the
motor-travel business is one of the
largest in the nation. It behooves
th)b people of Perquimans to take a
look-see in order to discover if there
are possibilities in connection with
ttfe habit of Americans to travel by
automobile.
The conscious and intelligent effort
to! attract tourists must be based on
providing what the travelers desire.
AS most of them are on vacation, the
chief ingredient is amusement, re
laxation and pleasant places in which
tot stay. If Hertford wants tourists
to; come to stay, there must be a de
liberate effort to provide the things
that tourists desire.
It would be silly to expect a mir
acje to happen overnight, but by ex
ecution of intelligent plans, it ought
to', be possible for us to present at
tractive lures to automobile tourists.
The idea is to gt them to come to
Hertford and then to make it so at
tractive that they will enjoy their
visit j;

Many Accidents;
The idea that you can tell a gent
leman, or a lady, behind the steering
wheel is emphasized bfr Professor
Carl G. Seashore, of ths 'University
of Pennsylvania, who recently told a
school of drivers at Tulane Univer
sity that "defensive driving" can cut
down the number of accidents.
What Mr. Seashore had in mind
is that most drivers, Convinced that
they are good: behind the wheel, do
not realize the danger that comes
from bucking traffic. He says that
offensive drivers try to take advan
tage of others $y getting ahead, rac
ing with a red light, passing other
cars on hills and trying . to crowd
other drivers out of parking spaces.
On the other hand, the defensive
driver "never permits others to in
volve him in an accident" because
"he. lets the other fellow go ahead
so there won't be a collision."
We call attention to the theory
expounded by the professor because
we have pointed out before that there
is no law against courtesy, even if
one is driving an automobile. Many
accidents ran be avoided if the driver
.of an a itomobile will practice the
same courtesy to others, whether
pedestrians or other motorists, that
he, or
home.

Our No. 1 Disease
' Dr. lioward A,
kusk, calling heart

disease the nation's No. 1 killer, says
that during World War II natural
deaths approximated 325,000 but,
during the same period, more than
,2,000,000 men, women and children
on the home front were killed by dis-
' eases of the heart and Mood vessels.
, " . The doctor tells us that heart dis-
' ease takes a greater death toll than
the five other leading causes of death
combined. It causes three times as
'.many deaths as cancer, six times as
' many as accidents, seven times as
.many as pneumonia and ten times
as, many as tuberculosis. Nearly
one out of every two deaths after the
" age of forty-five is due to heart djs
ease, but Dr. Rsk points out that
it causes more deaths among children
. between the ages' of ten snd sixteen
than any other disease.
Without going into the various
" types of heart djsease, we call at
tention to the degeneratiye which is
usually related v advancing years.
The causative factors are not known
but .they are . aggravated by over
work, over-weigWi and over-worry.

Supply For Country In
1947 Still Doubtful
Says Executive.
There will be no special home can
ning sugar stamps this year and use
of sugar from the new 10-pound
stamps to be validated'effective April
1 must be so planned as to fill all
needs, A.'D. Simpson, Jr., OPA reg
ional sugar executive, says.
"Changing the value of ration
stamps from five pounds to 10
pounds does not mean that consumers
will get twije as much sugar, he de
clared, it simply means tnat in or
der to make our present supply of ra
tion stamps last longer, the rest of
this year's supply will be available
lOspounds at a time instead of five
pounds at a time.
"We must emphasize," Simpson
continued, "that no one yet knows
exactly how much sugar will be
available to this country for use in
1947. This will depend on decisions
made by the International Food and
Economic Council which allocates
each country a-share out of the total
world supply. Department of Agri
culture spokesmen have said they ex
pect our 1947 allocation to be a little
larger than in 1946. But no one yet
knows exactly what it will be."

The market for good farmers' stock

WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE SUARY
This is the fifth in a series of
weekly summaries of the work of
the 1947 session of the General
Assembly of North Carolina.
These summaries are not intend
ed as a report upon all legisla
tion, but are confined to discus
sions of matters of general inter
est er of major importance.
Monday through Friday of the fifth
full week of the 1947 session saw Che
Introduction of 99 new bills, for a to
tal to date of 484, as against 152 bills
introduced during the corresponding
period of the 1945 session and that
session's total at the end of the same,
legislative day of 521. At the close
of the 33rd legislative day, the -House
was running practically even with the
1945 House in terms of the number
of bills introduced, with 343 bills in
the hopper as against 1945's 342 The
Senate, however, was somewhat be
hind, with only 141 bills as against
179 in 1945

should stir up some excitement in the
same camps already stirred un hy the
introduction last week of ITP 2?0,
which is designed to "make vml-m-f ui

ciationg ' condition of employ-
ment,"
(Having learned the power
of slogans from the propagandists of
totalitarian governments, opponents
of this bill are callim? ft -an -"antiunion"
or "anti-labor" bill, while pro
ponents prefer the term "rijrbM o
work" bill). Both hills at the end of
the week were In their respective
committees on Manufactures ' and
Labor.
Another bill.which might be paired
off against one previously introduced
is SB 111, which: would "create within
the Department of Conservation and
Development the North" Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission." This
bill would set wwithfar thejn"-,
ment of Conservation .and .develop
ment a 9-member commission, with a
commissioner and " personnel of its
own, to manage and - promote the
wildlife resources ef the State with
the exception of commercial fisheries
and Ash. The bill seems to be some
thing of a compromise toward meet
ing the objective of the "bill of di
vorcement." introduced in the Senate
as SB 66 and in the House as HB 133,
which seeks completely to remove con
trol over wildlife (game fish and anf
mala) from the- Department of Con
servation and Development and place
it in an independent commission com
posed of persons wholwould ore- v
ably-bend every "effort toward maWnc
for better hunting and fishing in the
State., This ' compromise J
seems not noticeably to haw di i
the enthusiasm Of the aeoaratists nor
separation bill (at which members of
the Senate Committee on Conserva
tion and Development found them
selves occupying the role of guests,
although actively participating), the
pros and antis attended in such num
bers that it was necessary to move
the hearing' to a larger chamber.
Among other bills of general in
terest introduced during the week,
HB 287 would submit to the voters of
the State at the next general election
a Constitutional amendment which
would "fix the salaries of members
and presiding officers of the General
Assembly at (900 and L0O0 respec
tively and provide additional per diem
pay for extra sessions not exceeding
20 days at S13 per day for members
and $15 per day for presiding officers
"of the General Assembly; HB 291
would "establish a standard rule of
