The Birthplace of Ameri ca," which is to be shown here during the week of May 2^. Forty-five other communities have also arranged to show the picture during the week of June 4. W. K. Mauney, Jr., who has been named chairman of the Jay cee film project here, has request ed that organizations interested in viewing the movie contact him immediately to assure themselves of a date on the calendar.' ; These presentations will be un der the sponsorship of the local Jaycee organizations. The University Extension Divi sion at Chapel Hill is in charge of the distribution of the film. Paul Green, Charlie Justice and A. W. -Drlnkwater, the Mahteo telegraph operator who flashed to the world the first news of the first airplane flight, were pre sented in the television premiere of the production on Station WFMYrTV in Greertsboro recent ly, and again on Station WBT-TV, Charlotte. The- production is a very lively and entertaining historical pic ture depicting the dramatic story birthplace of America. The film was. produced by the University of North Carolina and dramatizes realistically the rus tic scenes when the first settlers set foot on the shores of Roanoke Island. It also includes some thing of the present day life there, contrasting the zestful living of the people with their heroic ancestors of almost four centuries ago. The film has been acclaimed by leaders from many organiza tions in the state who have seen previews at tlie University. A mong the groups which have praised it as "A must for every man, woman and child in the State and nation" were the Fed eration of Women's Clubs, 4-H Clubs, all major service clubs, the American Legion, high school principals, and many newspaper men and radio commentators. Liberty Life Tops Hall-Billion Mark I Liberty Life Insurance Com 'pany, one of the Southest's lead ing financial institutions, has further increased Its position by attaining the $500,000,000 mark in total insurance in force, accord ing to Francis M. Hipp, president. The company has been engaged in a "Half-A-Biilion" campaign during the past nine months, the goal being reached at the end of April. Total insurance in force now stands at approximately $500,800,000. Participating in the campaign was Liberty Life's field organi zation of more than 1,000 repre sentatives of the Combination Division, Ordinary Division, Sav ings and Loan Insurance Depart ment, and Group Department. Highest percentage of campaign quota was made by the Savings and Loan Insurance Department. Founded in 1905, Liberty Life has doubled its insurance in force in a little more than six years. Assets total over $59,000. 000, and the company's 93 branch offices serve nine Southeastern states and the District of Colum bia. Save AND Earn .? . .

The lead article of the May issue of North Carolina, Educa tion, official Journal of the NCEA, is based on replies to a questionnaire sent in late March by the NCEA to the candidates for the two offices. All candi dates replied. The questionnaire asked the hopefuls to state their position on the following goals: 1. A re duction of class size from 32 to 30 pupils per classroom; 2 A sal ary schedule for A-certificate teachers of $2600 to $4100; 3. Appropriations tq provide atten dance wo ';ors in all school units; 4. Increased appropriations for current expense items; and 5. Completion of the school build ing program by state bond issue. The replies indicate that, in the main, the candidates endorse this program. William B. Unstead favors all items of the program if they can be provided from available reve nues. Hubert E, Olive gave a flat "yes" in favor of all items ex cept that dealing. with school .building aid. On this matter OliVe says; "I favor more State funds for aiding local units to construct school buildings, the financing to be worked out." Umstead's stand on school buildings is: "If such a building program cannot be otherwise fi nanced, then I shall favor sub mitting a bond issue to the peo ple of North Carolina in order that adequate school facilities may be provided and that segre gation may be maintained, which is essential for the preservation of our school system, and I favor <r . ? . ,J - ? . the distribution of said funds on the basis of need and ability to pay." Manley R. Dunaway votes 0 straight'"y??s" for all items. Her bert F. Seawell favors all except the provision of attendance workers. ' How do the candidates for the office of Lieutenant Governor stand? Roye Rowe favors the program right down the line. So do Ben J. McDonald and Warren H. Pritchard. Marshall C. Kur fees has doubts only on the im mediate reduction of class size. He would favor cutting class size from 32 to 31 and working for further reduction as quali fied teachers become available. William C. I^ohew would like to see a merit, system for teachers. Luther H. Hodges declined to reply to the specific questions but states in a letter that in: general the goals of the program seem reasonable and that he would be inclined to approve, them in principle.

Kings Mountain Drug Company THE REXALL STORE Phones 41 ? 81 We Call For dnd Deliver Chicken-Eating Rate Going Up In United States Americans are now consuming poultry products at a faster rate than ever before. In 1946, for example, the aver age American consume^ 371 eggs. 25.4 pounds of chickens, and 4.5 pounds of turkey. The 1952 rates are estimated at 409 eggsv 31.?. pounds of chicken, and 6.0 pounds of turkey To meet this Increasing de mand. Tar Jleei farmers have greatly expanded their produc tion of eggs, turkeys, broilers, and farm chickens, says It. S, Dearstyne, head of North Caro jlina State College's" Poultry Do partment. According to Dearstyne, a re. cent report by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture's Economics shows that the gross income of North Carolina farmers from poultry hit a record-breaking $99. 383,000 in 1951. . Eggs accounted for $54,237,000 of the total; turkeys, $5,30^.000 broilers, $25,472,000; and farm chickens, $14,366,000. These figures include products consumed at home. Cash fd^m receipts, totaling $7.\475, 000. were divided as follows: eggs. $41,119, 000; turkeys, $5,204,000; broilers, $25,472,000; and farm chickens, $6,680,000. Commercial broiler production in the Tar Heel State jumped from 28,109,000 birds in 1950 to 32,606,000 in 1951. Poundage fig ures for the two years were 7S, 705,000 and 91.297.000. The price per pound was 26.3 cents in 1950 and 27.9 cents in 1951. Gross in come from this source increased by nearly $5,000,000 during this period. ifit the facts prove the vsIliqI DONT DELAY!

It gives this old familiar sign^ new meaning Would you be interested in getting one gallon free with each tankful of gasoline you buy? Then we can tell you this: It will cer tainly be worth your while to read this brief story of Buick's new Airpower carburetor. Truth is? a skillful driver can just about double the bonus we mention, if he makes the most of what this year's Roadmastpr has to offer. The reason you can get such a bonus traces to a pair of simple facts: (1) It's a mixture of gasoline and air that gives you power. (2) Buick engineers have come up with a four-barrel automatic carburetor that lets you use more gallons of air per gallon of fuel. Most of the time, only two of these barrels are needed? ami they feed such a thrifty mixture that you use less gaso line at 40 mph than you'd formerly use at 30. . , But ? when you want a quick burst of eager power ? you can double the air supply as well as the gasoline feed? and come up with the highest horsepower that Buick's Fireball 8 Engine ever delivered. Of course, any man who's buying a car as fine as a Roadmaster wants a lot more than extra miles from a tank ful of gas. He wants the distinction of extra room, extra comfort, richer fabrics and all the other refinements that make a car truly fine. He wants to ride with solid security, confident poise and lordly silence. And, while he may not admit it, he yearns for a cap that's full of fun. All this, we promise you, and more will he yours when you take the responsive wheel of a Roadmastkr. How about doing that ? soon?
