Most Americans Think Russian War Bound To Come, U. S. Poll Reports By Kenneth Fink, Director Princeton Research Service PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY —A United States Poll nation wide survey completed within the past ten days shows that a solid majority — nearly 3 out of every 5 of all those questioned — are of the opinion that a major war with Russia is bound to come sooner or later. On the other hand, nearly 3 in each 10 believe that the Western Nations can continue to live more or less peacefully with the Rus sians. In other words, those who think that there is bound to be a major war with Russia sooner or' later outnumber by a margin of just about 2 to 1 those who think that we can continue to live more or less peacefully with the Russians. When United States Poll staff reporters put the following ques tion to a representative cross section of the nation’s voters: “Do you think the United States and her Allies can continue to live more or less peacefully with the Russians or do you think there is bound to be a major war sooner or later?” mese were tne nauonwiae re sults: Major war likely 59% Can live peacefully 29 Series of little wars but no major war 1 No opinion 11 Highlighting today’s survey findings is the fact that in every population group, examined, the majority opinion is that there is bound to be a major war with Russia sooner or later. This holds true for men and women and for people in all city sizes, occupations, educational levels, political parties, and sec tions of the country. While opinion on the question is relatively uniform among the various segments of the nation’s adult population, survey findings show that people who have at tended college are somewhat more inclined to believe that we can continue to live more or less peacefully with the Russians than are those who have had less for mal education.

Major war likely 55% 61% * 58% Live peacefully 38 28 27 Series of little wars but no major war 110 No opinion 6 10 15 Worthy of particular mention, too, is that virtually no differ ence of opinion on the question was found between rank and file Republicans on the one hand and Democrats on the other. Today’s survey findings would indicate that American citizens at the present time are not inclined to put too much faith in the peace offensive that the Kremlin has waged since the death of Stalin. The Herald presents the re ports of the United States Poll exclusively in this area. Pvt. lonn Adams In Anny Exercise FORT LEWIS, WASH. — Pvt. John Adams, 22, son of Will Adams, 310 E.

This observation grew out of an analysis by the Farmer Co operative Service of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture of loss and damage to livestock delivered by a number of cooperative ship ping associations to three mar kets. Most producers seek to protect themselves from losses by insur ing their animals for the haul from farm to market, the FCS re port states. But faulty practices in handling animals result in un necessarily high charges for in surance protection. Producers also lose money through lower prices at the mar ket. Bruise damage not detected until after slaughter represents a loss to the processor, and buyers often discount stock from a pro ducer with a poor record on brui se losses. A producer with such a record may find himself “a last resort” source, to be used only when meat supplies cannot be ob tained elsewhere, i The report suggests that trail sit damages and losses could be cut substantially if livestock pro ducers would: (1) avoid exciting animals before shipment, if pos sible sorting and assembling a day in advance, (2) prevent live stock from over-eating or drink ing immediately prior to ship ment, (3) lead animals carefully j and unhurriedly, using good load ing equipment and avoiding use of clubs, whips, or caines, and (4) choose a trucker with a low loss record and insist upon chreful handling.

Because we know that many folks still don’t realize how little a Buick really costs—that the dollar difference between this big Buick Special and the leading smaller cars has virtually disappeared. Bulote Sales Are Soaring As Never Before But more and more of them are finding it out. And that’s a major reason why Buick production and Buick sales are soaring to all-time highs today—and why Buick again is outselling all other cars, regardless of price range, except two of the well-known smaller cars. Big reason, too, for this soaring popularity is Buick’s full line of automobiles, giving you a choice in any price class—the rock-bottom priced Special, the high-powered Century, the supremely spacious Super, and the custom-built Roadmaster. -Dut above all, more and more people are discovering that the price you pay for a Buick buys more sheer automobile than the same money buys elsewhere. More advanced styling, more deep-down comfort, more pure power thrill, more ride steadiness and handling ease and solidity of structure. More spectacular performance, too, from the modest extra cost of Buick’s automatic transmission. For here you get Variable Pitch Dynaflowf —the new wonder drive born of modern aeronautics to give you instant full-power getaway and acceleration when needed—and far better gas mileage when cruising. Why not come see us this week, for sure? We’ll be happy to have you test-pilot a new Buick, just for the sheer thrill of it—and show you quite clearly that if you can afford any new car, you can afford a Buick. fDynaflow Drive is standard on Roadmaster, optional at extra cost on other Series.

Telephone 380 This Is The Law By Robert E. Lee (For the N. C. Bor Association) TIMBER CONTRACTS Batts has several acres of standing timber on his land. He wants to sell to the King Lumber Company the right to cut and re move all the trees in excess of a given size. Must this contract be in writing? Yes. Standing timber is a part of the land. Hence, a contract to sell or convey growing trees or any interest in or concerning them must be in writing and exe cuted with the same formalities as required in the transfer of real property. In order to be en forceable against creditors of the landowner and purchasers for valuable consideration, it must be probated and registered in the court house as required by sta tute. A contract to sell growing trees to be cut and removed by the purchaser necessarily invol ves a right in him to enter the land for that purpose. As a conse quence, it must be in writing. Is a written contract to convey standing timber valid between the parties without a registration in the county court house? Yes. As between the parties themselves, a written contract to convey standing timber is valid without registration. It can be specifically enforced or sued up on. It is to the interest of the buyer of the timber rights to see that it is properly registered in the court house of the county in which the land is situated. If he doesn’t, and the landowner sells his land to a purchaser for value, the buyer of the timber has lost his right to cut and remove the timber. How long does a buyer of grow ing trees have within which to cut and remove the trees? If no time is specified, the courts usually allow a reasonable time. Where a contract conveys the timber on land and specifies that it is to be removed within a specified time, it has been held in North Carolina that the trees cannot be removed after the ex piration of the specified time. Hill has several acres of stand ing timber on his land. He orally agrees to cut and deliver all of the trees on these acres to the Rush Lumber Company for an agreed price. Is the oral contract valid? Yes. Hill has made a contract to deliver cut trees or logs to the Rush Lumber Company. Such are items of personal property. Contracts concerning personal property are not required to be in writing. The contract of an owner of land to sell at a stipulated price all the trees or logs on a tract of land is not a contract affecting an interest in the land, since the cutting and delivery of the logs by the owner would constitute a conversion of the standing tim ber from real property into per PRESCRIPTION SERVICE We Fill any Doctors' Pre scriptions promptly and accurately at reasonable prices with the confidence of your physician.

It is not contem plated by the parties that there should be a transfer of title to or interest in the trees as they stood upon the land.

And with this extra power you also get extra econ omy—more miles per gallon. i i The reason for these benefits is that today’s engines are high compression engines and make more complete use of the power available in today’s higher octane gasolines. But did you know that the kind of driving most people do most of the time — local driving—can, in a short time, create a condition that offsets the extra power and economy that these engines should get from high octane gasoline. Why? Because this kind of driving increases the build-up of certain com bustion chamber deposits—the root of most power, and gasoline waste. And to overcome these deposits you need a gasoline with a special kind of additive. What happens is this: As your engine warms up, these de posits warm up, too—glow red hot. And these glowing particles act like hot coals —ignite the gasoline mixture ahead of time ... before the pistons reach proper i firing position. This is called pre-firing and means that power works against \ you instead of for you. In addition, these same deposits have another power-wasting effect: They foul spark plugs, causing your engine to miss. 0 Engineers will tell you there’s nothing / more wasteful of power and gasoline than pre-firing and spark plug “miss.” But there is an answer—there’s one high octane gasoline that gives you all the advantages of high octane without the power-crippling effects of these de posits—Shell Premium Gasoline with TCP*. TCP, the Shell-developed additive, fireproofs the deposits so that they no longer cause pre-firing. No longer can they glow red hot and ignite the gaso line mixture. And TCP stops spark plug “miss,” too. Your spark plugs do the job they are supposed to do. Start getting the full power built into your engine. Get Shell Premium with TCP. It’s the most powerful gasoline your car Can use! •Shell's Trademark for this unique gasoline additive developed by Shell Research. Patent applied for.
