The Steel Industry Seizure , The seizure of the giant steel in-1 dustry by the United States Govern ment poses several serious problems for the average American. The most publicized question is that concern ing Presidential authority to take over private business. The (President seized the industry on .the contention that the interests of the United 'States defense efforts, were at stake, in a national emergency, and ibhat Govern ment sefzure was the only way to prevent a shutdown in the industry. Other industries' have been seized by President , Truman and President Roosevelt, in the last decade, when a national emergency had been pro claimed and when the President con cluded that Government action was necessary to prevent a cessation of op erations. Had steel production been allowed to cease, plants in the Unit ed States building tanks, planes and other defense weapons would have soon been starved for this necessary metal. .)';.. The effect of such a shutdown on the defense effort can well be imagin ed and, for this reason, the Presi dent's action has been supported by many. On the other hand, his action has been attacked by others, jnclud- ing some members of the Congress, on .the, ground that it is an unwar ranted invasion of the rights of pri vate business. Director of Price Stabilization Ellis Arnall, called to explain the. seizure before a Congressional Committee, at tacked the steel industry and called the current - fight a , fight between i the steel people and the public. ; He charged: 1 the steel companies . could absorb, a billion dollars in cost increases and still not be eligible for a price increase under the earnings standard of the stabilization program. 2 The industry was asking more than twice as much as the recom mended wage increase would cost it. If what Arnall says is true, many ' Americans will side with .the Govern ment against the steel companies. Arnall claims that companies produc ing more than seventy-five per cent of the country's steel earned 843,000 000 in the 1947-49 base period. He points out that actual 1951 earnings were $1,918,000,000. It is obvious that there are two sides to the steel industry dispute and that an intelligent opinion cannot be formed by merely pursuing one line of protest or investigation. If what Mr. Arnall says is true, the majority of citizens will probably support Gov ernment seizure : ' ll.

Extbiic:oii Services Aid VogI Prcuuccrs Again this year, with the F. C. X. Extension Service and the Division of Markets cooperating, a program has been worked out to assist wool pro ducers in finding a market for their wool, it was reported by I. C. Yagel, County Agent. It is the opinion of the cooperating agencies that the pro gram this year will 'be a marked im provement over the ones offered in the. past. t ', A , y:: On May 27 and 28 growers may take their wool to any F. C. X. store where it will be weighed and a' re- ceipt given for It It will toe shipped to Washington or Winston Salem to1 be graded. . Grading will be done at Washington on June 3 and .4 'and at Winston Salem June 10 and IV , ! As soon as the wool has been grad-' ed and sold, full settlement, will fee made as it is humanly possible, to do so. Members of the Division of Markets arid the Extension Servies will be. present to cooperate in the process of grading. . ) 1 ; The following suggestions if follow ed by sheep men should 'insure more money .for wool: . 1. Have shearing equipment in good order well ahead of shearing time. For repairs send equipment to factory. Also send old qombs and cutters to. factory for sharpening. For new : equipment see your-local detuer. - 2. Never shear when wool la wet. If 'wool gets damp, spread it 'out to dry . before bagging it; damp wool will rot. 3. Shear on clean floor or a canvas to avoid getting straw, manure or trash of any kind in the wool. . 4. Avoid second cuts.' Cut close and keep fleece unbroken. 5. Tie each fleece with paper twine flesh side out. There may be a dis count of 2 cents per pound on all wool not tied with paper twine and when sisal or binder twine is used 10 cents per pound may be deducted. : Bailing wire should never be used. ; - 6. Tag M sheep before shearing. Pack tags and sweepings in a "sepa rate bag, otherwise much of this wool is lost m the process "of grading. 7. Pack Black,', lurry,. Dead Wool or Rejects of anykkindtin separate bags properly marked."' 8. Keep lambs , wool separate from alt other wool. 9. Pack wool in regular wool bags. 10. Store wool in a dry place, nev er in wet basement, on ground, or 'Ce ment floor. : . ' i Lions Convention At Wrightsville Beach' The 1952 N.

Sincerely, ERVIN TURNER I Own Your Own Home i The United States And Newspapers The people of America buy 54,017, 938 daily newspapers, for which they .pay $2,589,000. Thjs represents a high intelligence level and a people who want the complete, news of local, nat- ional and world affairs." The newspaper is an American tra- dition the weekly newspaper "even I more so than the daily about which the above figures relate. Although many people do not realize it, the weekly newspaper today has equally as much influence as the daily. Most of the people of this huge country of 165,000,000 live jn towns of 10,000 or less and, in many cases, in many of these towns, the people sub scribe to only one newspapertheir local weekly bi-weekly or tri-weekly. The smail newspapers of America, which began a great tradition in this country of freedom of the press, reach a grass-roots audience which the huge metropolitan dailies do not touch. The farmers and he small-town inhabi tants of the country read their small town newspaper religiously, from cov er to cover. They are much likely to weigh the thoughts expressed there in more carefully than the average metroTolftan resident or worker, who usually - take' one or two -or .three newspapers daily and who is so push ed for time, he can seldom, examine any of these newspapers thoroughly, On the other" hind, the weekly sub scriber has all week to read his local weekly. Advertisers sometimes forget that some 10,000 weekly papers offer great opportunities and concentrate primarily on the approximately 1,500 dailies in the country. ? Likewise, those who r.iail out various political propaganda sometimes fail to realize the importance of the weekly press which is still the backbone of the . . ... . ..'
