HGL To Drop -American consumers may expect a drop of about ten per cent in the cost of living daring the present year, ac cording to Dr. Ewan Clague, U. S. Commissioner of Labor, who says that statistics do not lead to the expecta tion of a greater increase. A ten per cent decrease in the cost of tiring would be welcome, of course, oil there are many Americana who look for a more substantial reduc tion. However, the welfare of the national economy as a whole must be considered and it is probable that more than ten per cent reduction in the course of tide year might cause severe dislocations in the economic machinery upon which all of us de pend for our income. More People For U. a The population growth of the Unit ed States continues to confound the experts, who predicted, during the I930s, diet a falling birth rate would lead to an equilibrium between birth and death rates by 1960. Last year, the population of this country increased nearly 2,500,000. , mh enav ANQ THE FAMOUS ci;ta ORCHESTRA Edenton Armory fX'QAY, APRIL 29 Show at High School Auditorium 7:30 P. M. . ' - vi r The increase waa largely due to the number of births, 8,650,000, which exceeded the lowest death rate in the history of the nation fey about 200, 000. The other part oz the increase came through immigration. , An increase in population, coming about by the increase of births inside th country, is much better than a similar increase through Immigration. It is natural to expect - that native born citizens will have a better com prehension of American ideals than those born ,dn foreign countries who nmA to the United States in, later yearsl ;.'.:." w ---A-', The extent of the' increase in the number of births is indicated by the fact that in the eight years, 1941 1948. more than 25,000,000 babies horn in the United States. This compares with a little more than 19,- 000.000 in l31-l3. It should be noted in this connection that there are now 48 persons per milA of land area in the Unit- .j ctoio Thi eomnares with 25 W uwvw. s iano. While there have been con siderable shifts of population, it is interesting to note that the ten most densely populated states in 1947 were amImf. lh same as in UIKUjr, , ionn. fOtnAn Island. Massachusetts, v .Traev. Connecticut. New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Dela ware and Illinois.

Llultijile (nsurace men in ponnnmois One out of every five eligible farm ers has applied for multiple crop in surance in Perquimans uranty tnis year, according to Julian E. Mann, State director of the Federal Crop Insurance Program. The county is the first in the South to offer this new type of insurance, which covers more than one 'crop on the same farm. The program is openj to farm owners, tenants and share croppers. The closing date for appli cations this year was March 81. ' "I am particularly gratified," Mr. Mann said, "by the fine response of Perquimans farmers to the new idea of protecting their investment on ans have already reduced their risks by greatly diversifying their crops, and now those who are taking advant age oi multiple insurance are going one step further and assuring them' selves that they will get the return of their cash investment Of approximately 1,200 .eligible farmers in the county, incomplete re ports indicate that 225 have applied for multiple insurance. Mr. Mann slated that the success of the program was due to the splendid cooperation received from County Agent, I. C. forces of the Soviet Union consti tute a dominant power, at present un balanced by any group of nations, v In the world at large the strength of the United States is dominant, out side of the land areas of Europe and Asia, and the possession of the atomic bomb makes this , country almost ir resistible in warfare for a limited period of years. . The impasse in Europe constitutes something . of a deadlock between Eastern and Western. Europe, which could be broken, no doubt by the use of Soviet force. That Russia does not attempt to solve these problems by force, as she did in Eastern Europe, is due entirely to our possession of the atomic bomb, in the opinion of Mr. Winston Churchill, who is a man with great knowledge of world af fairs. ': ' ' ... The burden of the United, States in international affairs will be great ly lightened, when the nations of Eu rope, outside the- Communist orbit become strong enough to balance the preponderance of might that now be longs to Russia. When this happens, the United States, separated by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, will be the decisive factor in world affairs. We will occupy the position that Great Britain held for many centuries in Europe and if we use the position intelligently, we can Jargely determ ine the course of world affairs. We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, ana sne pattern wmcn was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning. Henry ward JJeecner.
