J V A Favorite Son For the first time In t number of years, Perquimans County has a resi dent seeking a district political office, and naturally this resident becomes our favorite son for the nomination. With this issue of The Perquimans Weekly, J. Emmett Winslow, former Sheriff and widely known resident of Hertford, announced his candidacy for the office of State Senator, to repre sent the First Senatorial District. With the local announcement, the State Senate race has become a three cornered affair with a candidate from Hertford County and one from Cam den also seeking the office. The Hert ford Countian is a newcomer into the political picture, but the Camden resident 'seeking the pffice has served in the capacity two terms Since Per quimans County has had , Senatorial representation! This in itself, we be lieve, should aid the final selection of the nominees inasmuch as party cir cles desire that the Senatorial offices for this district move around, giving each county in the district opportu nity for representation in the State Senate. We believe it is time for Perquimans to' receive this recogni tion again, and we urge our readers to support the candidate from Per quimans County. We do thi believ ing that J. Emmett Winslow will ably serve all of the counties of the dis trict in the duties of the office. Hate Is Not Enough We agree with Senator Walter F. George, of Georgia, in his' declaration that a "hate Russia" motive isn't enough basis for the Marshall Plan and that greater emphasis should be placed upon the, constructive goal of building up Western Europe with the idea' of establishing unity and stabil ity that would, in time, attract Soviet satellite nations and, eventually, per haps Russia herself. , While this , observation is well taken, one should not overlook the fact that if the plans for European rehabilitation' fail and a third World War1 comes between the nations, with the United States and Russia on op posite sides, the existance of a strong, productive economy in Western Europe would be beneficial to this country. , This is based, of course, upon the theory that the nations of Western I Europe, once their economies arel strengthened, will be able to over-' come the dissatisfaction of their t people and withstand the onslaughts of radical Communists. Since the Commijnists tike advantage of the unrest and dissatisfaction of dis gruntled peoples, it is perfectly ob vious that anything that strengthens the economy of Western nations tends to erect a barrier against the spread of Communism. . : : Four Killers Of Man The four killers of " mankind; des erving priority according to the Com .mission of the United Nations on World Health, are tuberculosis,, ven- ereal disease, malaria and infant and .maternal mortality. ' The Commission- recommends that, fpr. two years, its activities be con- ; centra ted on combatting these men aces to human health and life. Both the United States and the Sov iet Union 'supported the inclusion of : malaria among the priority diseases. The Commission had a report from .;'.:, other . experts, outlining, the ' disas- trous effects of malaria on food prc : duction, and pointing out that in the 1 great food-producing areas,' several; J; S hundred million persons suffer from f-y ''malaria each year during the product 1 . tive months of the agricultural season. In addition, Dr. H. Van Zile Hydei . o ; this country, emphasised that . ; methods used '..- in. . combatting the , ; malaria-bearing' -4 mosquito - produce ' other beneficial effects, wiping out in 5' . sects which carry ' other diseases, vt-; They cited the experience in Egypt ; and Greece,; where DDT campaigns not eniy wipea , out maiana in the treated regions but reduced - diar rhoea! diseases, typhoidt. and ', other firthborne gemuiM'x':M ,y.-iMiK A. Hertes, of Massachusetts, and in- eluding two Republican members and two Democratic members, the report points out that withdrawal of Amerl offn support from Greece would almost certainly result in the establishment of a Communist government. This jwpuld persuade jthoseiri other coun tries, now resisting communist in filtration, that help from the United States is uncertain and , thus weaken their determination. :' The Committee report was not al together condemnatory, pointing out that agricultural production last year increased from thirty 'per cent of pre-war to eighty-five per cent and that industrial production went up from thirty-five, to i seventy per cent. They insisted, however, that the pro gram of UNRRA "created the false impression among the Greeks or an unlimited horn of plenty which could be drawn upon at will" Consequent ly, sudd ties Were used to bolster a collapsing economy and to postpone the initiation of drastic reforms which are essential iff Greece is to become self-supporting. Americans should not lose sight of the necessity, in connection with ell programs of extending assistance to ether peoples, of requiring that val iant efforts be made to become self supporting. Otherwise, there might be something to the epithet of those who call the Emergency European Plan a "rat-hole". Certainly, for a limited number of years, the United States must exert itself in behalf of those who still suffer, from the con sequences of the recent war but no body should be under any impression that the process is to become permanent. Good Breeding Animals Wanted For War Vets The Markets Division of the North Carolina Department ,of Agriculture has developed a state-wide program with vocational schools for the pur pose of locating and purchasing good breeding animals for war veterans who will complete their training in agriculture this year and begin farm ing on their own. A preliminary survey of veterans' requirements, according to Robert S. Curtis, livestock marketing specialist, indicates a need for .1,500 breeding animals beef and dairy cattle, swine and sheep. 'Mr. Curtis is now trying to locate a sufficient number of satis factory animals to meet this need, o The program will get under way abou. March 1, Curtis said. He ad vised veterans wanting additional in formation to cdhtact the Vocational School , of Agriculture, N. C. State College, Raleigh," or the Division of Markets, North Carolina Department of Agriculture Raleigh. , . Chefck Farm Equipment To 'Avoid Accidents The condition and operation of the hundreds of tractors with plows, cul tivators, discs and planters which Tar Heel farmers will be using during the spring planting season will be an im portant factor in determining the 1948 farm work accident toll, accord ing to H. M. Ellis, in charge of agri culture engineering for the State' Col lege Extension Service. Every farmer should make prepara tions for safe and efficient machinery operation, Mr. Ellis said. See that alf farm equipment is thor- FINS CUM FOK MIHRT PU TO HASAh CON9UTWN. SUPPLY KUSHEO HERil Belief tt M im torture 'of tat.

Defective hitches, clutches, wheels, brakes, steering and unguarded gears, ; chains or shafts mean accidents can take freeren.' Equipment that . does not operate properly is irritating and fatiguing to the operator. It ,- helps reduce his alertness and increases the tempta tion to take chances. . Well condition ed machinery saves' time and costly field breakdowns and makes farm work easier, Mr. Ellis declared. 4 ( The National Safety Council points out that careful operators will also take time to equip tractors with fire extinguishers and provide secure holders for. grease guns or other aer- vicing( tools carried , on a Loose accessories on : tractors may cause' falls or other casualties. -Pro vide a secure step or grab bar If it is easy- to ' slip getting on or off your tractor. . Mr. Ellis also advises a careful check of the fuel lines and the fuel servicing equipment : A leaking hose or valve can easily lead, to a costly fire, he said. If the fuel supply is too close to farm buildings for safety, take time to, move it before the start of spring work. . ' workcember 15. 4 . " - seats,' . Indexes in Other commodity crouna reflected.

The ratio of prices received by North Carolina farmers to prices paid by farmers in general throughout the entire country dropped from 112 per cent in December to 109 per cent in January, 10 points lower than a year ' Mid-month -average prices of many individual products sold by Tar Heel farmers made noticeable f changes from December . to January:.; Rye at $2.70 and barley at $f.85 showed $q Index Of Prices Paid Farmers Drops Slightly The January IB index of prices re ceived by North Carolina farmers for all farm products was 273 per cent of the 1909-14 average, representing a drop of one point from a month earlier but an increase of 18 points above the index a year ago, it was reported by the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service. , The slight drop in January was at tributed primarily to lower prices re ceived for poultry and eggs and-type 31 (burley) tobacco." The mid-January burley index at 276 per cent Was 35 points below the previous month and 34 points below the index for a year ago.
