one cf t'.e wois i .i fc-...jrs and
navigators and it was. his 'conviction
that the world was round which
brought about the discovery of the
New World just 461 years ago. Most
historians, however, believe other ex
plorers set foot on the North Ameri
can continent many hundreds of years
before Columbus. These explorers and
seamen came across the North Atlan
tic and failed to discover the warmer
area to the South. . And, records of
these voyages were unknown in Co
lumbus' day and had not the Italian
explorer obtained permission from the
Queen of Spain to lead an expedition
to the New World. th rlpwlnnmant nt
this hemisphere would have been con
siderably delayed. ,r, :
Few adventures can match those of
Columbus, on his first crossing.. The
courage required and the conditions
overcome make it one of the great
and inspiration stories of all time.
SOIL CONSERVATION. NOTES
Josiah Smith Tecently cleared some
land with a bulldozer on his farm on
the four-mile Desert Road. Immedi
ately after clearing this land Mr.
Smith" had two ditches constructed
with a dragline to improve the drain
age so that he could plant the field
to crops next "year. :H V! V-'v'":'. v

ence which leads to a greater appre
ciation of the vast and varied scope
of North Carolina's agriculture, indus
try, commerce, as well as our natural
and human resources."
Finally, the;Governer pointed out
that, from the standpoint of attend
ance and the number of participants,
the Fair is the biggest annual event

papers have meant to the people of
the united states since u iuuuum6
of the Colonies.
One of the main reasons the aver
asre American is better, informed on
domestic and international questions
than his counterpart in foreign coun
tries is because of freedom of the
press, and objectivity, observed in the
United States. While our newspapers
contain editorial opinions, in the news
columns they print an unbiased and
non-partison account of the .major
news events, As long as the news
paper reader can follow events ac
curately in the news columns, he is
able to come to his own decisions and
mav or may not agree with the
opinions expressed on the editorial
pages. , , , ' " .
It is interesting to note that even
though various new media have
brought the news to many American
families, the newspaper remains the
primary source of news and provides
readers a permanent record which
may be kept as a source of reference.
It is also interesting to note that
newspaper advertising and ; general
growth has continued, even as radio
and television have taken their places
in the presentation of news. -
It has often been said that the peo
ple in any area are only.informed as
the newspaper, or newspapers, which
serve them. - In our country the press
has the obligation to print inf orma
; tive and accurate news, impartially.
This newspaper has, and will con
tinue, to discharge this obligation
properly and invites all readers to
submit their thoughts, or news items,
for inclusion in these pages.
