The
For
Desire
Yes-Men
No one can dispute the assertion
of Senator Paul H. Douglas, of Il
linois, that there is a "deplorable
tendency for Che leaders of groups,
as they grow powerful, to want only
yes-men in their organization."
This statement applies not only to
politics, but to practically every field
of human cooperation. The organi
zation which begins as a democratic
mechanism finds that its leaders, once
established in positions of power, re
sent suggestions from the rank and
file and attempt to set themselves up
. as the last word in connection with
decisions to be made by the organi
zation.; ' ' '
Such a process represents the ne
gation of democracy. . I stulif ies the
expression of individual opinion,
tramples on the freedom of individ
uals and, eventually, defeats the pur
pose of the organization itself. :
Something Wrong
We are not expert when it comes to
tax matters, especially the devices in
the income tax laws affecting cor
porations. Nevertheless, it is interesting to
read that a certified public account
ant in the State of New York, testi
fying in a criminal case, said that the
company concerned had losses , of
$607,000 in 1945 but that it "amount
ed to a net gain of $47,000 because,
by the carry-back: -feature of the tax
law. the losses "wiped out tne con
cern's liability on past profits and
entitled it to a refund of taxes paid.".
This should be interesting to little
people trying to pay income taxes out
of their salaries and earnings. When
a $607,000 loss, suffered by a com
pany in one year, becomes a profit
of $47,000 through the operation of
the provisions of the income tax law,
there must be something wrong with
the statute.

On the last Monday each month
from 1:00 to 4:00 P. It," the four
health offices in thk district will lie
host to the general public. This plan
arises from the fact that a great
many people have never been to their
health office, and have little idea as
to what is actually' being done thew
to protect the health of all the people; 1
Many have the idea that only the in
digent benefit from the program. ;
"Through communicable disease
control, tuberculosis control, cancer
detection, school health service, su
pervision " of eatinir ; and . fodarinar
places, milk, and other food super
vision, waste disposal, and in fact the
whole public health program affects
the health of all of us whether we
realize it or not," says Dr. B. B. Mc-
Guire, District Health Officer. We
feel, therefore, that the public has a
right to know how their tax dollar
is being used. ys:;J--, v::;'
After schools open, by previous ar
rangement, the senior high school
students in all four counties may visit
their county health office, or prefer
ably the Health Center, Elizabeth
City, where much more public health
may be learned than at the cither
three offices. ..
Many people come to the office for
some service but have not been shown
through the office nor had explained
to them the various activities of the
department. This is .the first oppor
tunity citizens have had to be shown
through the offices, and to learn more
about the practical side of public
health.
Some member or members of the
staff will be on duty to explain the
services Ito all visitors during, the
hours of 1:00 to 8:00 P. M., the last
Monday each month. "If your health
is important, then public health is
important to you," says Dr. McGuire.

Farm Population
At New Low
In 1916, the farm population.of this
country reached its highest peak, 32,
530,000 individuals. "
The figure for 1950, recently an
nounced by the Census Bureau, is 24,
335,000, which is the lowest since the
Government began keeping figures on
farm populatios in 1910.
Between these two years, there has
not been a steady decline, however.
The previous low figure was 24,342,
009 in April, 1945, but there was an
upsurge after that, which pushed the
farm population to 24,147,000 in 1947.
The people of the nation should not
overlook the dwindling farm popula
tion. It is true that mechanical prog
ress in farm machinery, together
with improved methods of agricul
ture, now enables the present farm
population to produce more abundant
ly than the larger number on the
farms in previous years. Neverthe
less, life on the farm must be made
profitable and attractive enough to re
tain a sufficient number of farmers
to take care of the basic needs of the
country's population.
Negro Ag. Teacher
Conducting T Survey
A survey of farming programs
among .Negro adult, young farmers
and all-day boys has been. drawn up
by King A. Williams, Agriculture
Teacher at Perquimans Training
School, in order to get a clearer -picture
of their farming situations per
taining to machinery, and. equipment,
livestock and other farm enterprises.
This Survey has as its objective the
determination of the needs that might
contribute to a more balanced farm'
ing program. In order that this may
be accomplished' adequately, it is re-
quested that all farmers give their
fullest cooperation in filling in these
survey forms and return to .the agri
culture teacher at the earliest possible
date. ' -

Like Selling
Brooklyn Bridge
Something new in "influence ped
" dling" is reported from Washington,
where a Senate committee is investi
gating an alleged swindle of hundreds
of thousands of dollars, obtained from
persons who thought they could get
help in obtaining : leases . on major
government buildings in the capital.
The story that the fast-talking
swindler developed was that the Gov
ernment would abandon its buildings
t and go underground to escape the
anger of an atomic bomb. The money
was paid to get his "influence" in ob
taining leases on the governmental
buildings, when they were abandoned.
This is an astonishing story, de
picting not only- the crooked shrewd
ness of the manipulator but also the
almost unbelievable gullibility of
those who are willing to spend some
money to get something at a bargain
rate. Of course, the swindler could
not have succeeded in his promotion-
.' al stunt if there had been no indi
viduals ready to pay him for an
"inside position" in connection with
leasing the Government buildings.
Mrs. D. R. Trueblood, Mrs. Harry
Barber and Mrs. Durwood Barber, Sr.,
of Winfall were joint hostesses Fri
day night at a miscellaneous shower,
honoring Mrs. Durwood Barber, Jr.,
who before her recent marriage was
Miss Pearl Halsey of Edenton.
Four contests were enjoyed by the
group with Mrs. Maude Lane, Mrs.
Ruth Stanton, Mrs. ' Arthur Chappell
and Miss Amy Van Roach winning
prizes. After the many gifts were
opened refreshments of cold drinks.
cookies and salted nuts were served.
