Thte TallouV He Fears

Dropi-Out Rate Requires Attention

least temporary arrangements have been made in most communities of North Carolina to take care of the increased enrollment that came with the opening of school this year. In many communities plans already are underway for providing more classrooms to permanently take care of the increased enrollment.

While this particular problem is-being faced, however, there is another problem that should be more effectively coped with this year than in the past. That is the problem of youngsters who will drop out of school, ending their formal education, before this school year ends. Last year in North Carolina there were almost as many youngsters who, permanently dropped out of the public schools as were graduated. Some of these youngsters had another year or two before they would have graduated, while others were only a few months away from the end of their senior year when they made the decision to' quit school.

With the increasing emphasis on a minimum of a high school educatiofi for most jobs in business and industry, it is more important than ever that North Carolina encourage its youngsters to continue their formal education at least through high school level.

As the state seeks to provide a better calibre of education for its young people in public schools, it behooves the state at the same time to strive to get a larger percentage of its young people to take full advantage of educational opportunities which are being offered.

For the most part, the effective work in keeping youngsters in school will be done at the local level. Some civic groups already have voluntered thi^ir services to school officials in helping with the prdbleihr Many local school systems throughout the state are giving more attention to reducing the number of students who drop out of school each year.

As individual citizens through their state and local governments pour more millions annually into providing better education at the public school level, they should likewise take a greater individual interest in encouraging the youngsters with whom they come in contact to take full advantage of the opportunity they have to obtain at least a high school education.

AGRIBUSINESS A new word ootoed iurt a few years so and not yet accepted in full good atancHng In the ticnary ia 'asribusiniees/' the descriptive term for a group of people whoee interests In agriculture and other i^taaea of tnadnees activity overlap. The appropriateness of the work, even though not in good society standing, was illustrated in Raleigh the other day at the imual meetings of the Parmers Cooperative Exchange and the N. C C3otton Orowers CJoopera-ttve Association. A preponderant majority of the more than 3.000 people intending were real farmers, men and women who earn their living (m the farm. But the atteodanti were not limited to dirt farmers.

The cross section was more clearly noted at the breakfast given in honor of Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman than at the fairgrounds assembly. Mr. Freeman was impressed and commented upon the presence of the Governor and most State elective officials, members of the Supreme Court, representatives of banks and supply firms serving the farm Interests of North Carolina.

Tbnes was when local newspapers often referred to groups as ownposed of "farmers and buaineasmen.' That isnt done any more. Farmers are business men and they operate on the same principles as other successful busioesses.

Take a look at the balance sheets of these two big cooperatives. The Cotton Growers has total assets of $1.443.755.65. The FCX had a gross voduiive of $57,363,407.89 business during the past iisoal year ended June SO. 1961. It had on that date a reserve for waking capital in the amount of $1,177,008.83. That does not sound like little business.

OPTIMISTIC - While conceding some rough times ahead both Governor Sanford and Sec-rstary Freeman arc optimistic about the future of agrtoulture. The Oovemor, who has been ebsrged by ImpSeatlon if not direcUy with sidetracking the Interesta of agriculture for to-<kMtrtal promotion, said North Ouolina is la the farming bua-nsss in a big way and is not gdng to get out of it. We are ooDoemed with keeping the iterm alroQg to North Carotina, he aald. , ^

Secretary Freeman noted that

Ibe most speetaeular. almost I. dev^opment to the

mlraottk>uB. _____________ _

untied States has been in agriculture rather than In other ress of scienoe and taduatqr. Tb productivity of the Amerl-ean Sann workers has increased twice as much since World War n as productlvi^ of the indus-trtol worker, he said. Agricul-tore baa tocked a good press gent to get this Ix^ormatton cross to the pitoUe.

Asked at a news cooferenoe

If he thought America could continue to produce more than the Soviet Union, the secretary said the record spe^ for itself. In Russia one farm worker produced enough too feed six people; In America one farm worker produces etxmgh to feed 26

people. .....^ '

The secretary aaiduthe ever tocreaalng "take" of the middleman handler of farm produce constitides a serious problem. Ways and means to reduct the nun^Oer of hands dlpptog Into the deals from held to dinner table are being studied. He rather subtly suggested that coops offer one way to relieve that condition.

The keynote of Secretary Freemans main address at the fairgrounds was "Hope." He said the farmer lives on hope and cant survive without it. For too many years he has been fed a diet of pessimism from Washington. "but as we come to harvest once again I believe we are turning the corner toward hope."

LAWYER TROUBLE - Law practice aint like it used to be, mused former Senator W. S. Smith of Albemarle who was in Raleigh the other day on a bit of legal business. Used to be, he said, most of a lawyers practice was at home, in his own or adjacent counties. Once or twice a year hed have to come to Raleigh to caarry an appeal to the Supreme Court or appear before a State <xn-misston. A trip to Washington on legal business was a real ocoaston.

It isnt that way any more. The multiplicity of regulartory boards and oonurdsaknis based in Raleigh, the complexity of tax laws and the oentrallaation of powers to State government has transferred a lot of law prac-tlee from the eoirtbouse square to captol square. And it Is a rare month when a lawyer with extensive ocxiToratloD practice (toes not have to go to Washington. It (toesnt have to be corporate luacUce to require ir^ to the capitals. All such things are acreage allotments, use of streams, planttng pine trees and a long list of others. fi*e-quently require conferences with officials at Raleigh or Waahing-ton or both. These days a lawyer needs a dispatch (uie as miich as he needs a desk.

Senator Smith recalled an experience when he was first elected to the State senate. His law firm has been representing some railroads and a rahroad man came around to "feel him out* on Ms attitude as a member of the Legislature. Smith said he told him something Uke this: The railroads came along and put the pony express, the covered wagon and the stage coach out of baslnefis. Theres a chance ah* planes may put the buses on the blink. 8o maybe the best pton would be to let everybo(ty regulate Ms competitors.

Activation of the Development Commission'a re-^ cently announced policy of holding its regular monthly meetings in various communities of Pitt County will we believe, prove beneficial both to the Development Commission and to the various communities throughout Pitt.

By rotating its meeting sites, the Commission has said it desires to bring the Development Commission closer to the people of Pitt County. It will provide an opportunity for a greater number of people throughout the county to attend meetings of the Development Commission, and at the same time it will provide the Commission as a body a better opportunity to evaluate Pitts communities, their problems in the development field and their opportunities.

Belgrade Meant Nothing

The new policy, it seems to us, will afford citizens of the communities of the county a better opportunity to bring their development problems to the Commission, and it will likewise afford the Commission a better opportunity to explain its work and its problems to the citizens throughout the county.

What Conaress

Copyright, 1961, King Features Syodicate, Inc.

As one looked at the Belgrade Conference, it was Impossible not to wonder who was there. What (Ud these nations represent to product? What are the standards of living of their people? What military strength do they possess? For Instance, take Mali and Indonesia, the presidents of which came to Washington to tell the President of the United States what he should not do. Actually what is the strength of these two countries? What power do they possess?

The so-called neutral or non-aligned countries have hypnotized themselves into believing that because they are weak and inef

fectual and backward, they possess great moral strength. Is moral strength limited to those who have no other strength?

I am minded of a story of Israel ZangwiUs of the king of the beggars. It ran something like this: The king of beggars came to the Rothschild house in IXMidon and demanded to see Rothschild. The butler turned him away. So the king of the beggars yelled and shouted and his argument was that Rothschild is the richest man in the world and he is the pocHrest man to the world, therefwe they are equal because each is the ultimate in his spbwc.

The neutral nations seem to take that atUtude: they have

By RALPH ROBEY This sesaion of the Congreee is getting ready to adjourn. It is a good time, therefore, to >pralae the reooend and arrive at a judgment as to bow wdl President Kennedy has dtme to getting through his program.

The ald-to-depreesed-aceas bill was passed to the fom requested by the President. In terms of doUsxs the amount was not terribly large, and It will be spent without (totog any particular good. TMs is because this is the wrong way to restore depressed areas.

Extension of unemployment aid also passed to approximately the form desired by Mr. Kennedy. It will be recalled there also was an extension under the previous administration. That earlier bill, however, merely created a fund from which the states could borrow. This year the federal government has giv m the money to the states,.and hopes ultimately to be repaid from higher taxes levied upon employers.

A rise in minimum wages has been enacted into law and is now to force. Upon this it was necessary for the Administration to <x>mpromlse its first suggestion. but it got most of what it wanted.

The most (xwnplicatcd housing bill in our history has been passed. It is a measttre which attempts to do something for everyone, but so far It has had no measurable results to stimu-lating building.

Highway-financing and water-pollutlon bills also have been passed, and the Congress has been most generous to giving the President increased spending authority, both for the mili-tay and for ether purposes.

On the other side have been onve significant defeats.

Over-all farm leglalatton has gone by the boards, and properly so. since the AdministraUon recommendation would have made the Secretary of Agriculture a ddctator in this eld, with Congress having only tbs right of veto.

Foreign aid has been voted to an amount less than the President requested, but his "backdoor finanotog* plan for.toter-

natlonal loans has been killed completely by the House, and such loans as are made will have to oome r<n annual ap-profwiatScns.

There has been some liberally aatton of Social Securiity. but medical care for our elder ciU-aens has been pesaed over for this yeex. The plan was to tie such eld to the Social Security system, and it ran into a terrific amount of opposition.

A bill to continue government payments to federally impacted school areas has been passed, but the broad program of federal aid to educatton. including pay fi* the teachers, has been stopped for this sesston. There were nmny factors Involved in this controversy, but perhaps the one which proved moot Improtant was that it is not possible honestly to show that there is need for such aid. The religious question also was significant.

After many weeks of hearings and cUscuaslon the House Ways and Means Committee decided that it would not report out a general tax bill during this session. The Adnnastraton worked hard on this. It made all kin(is at compromises and used great pressure. The excuse given by the Democratic members of the committee was that there was not enough time to complete a bUl and get it through the Congress, but there is much basis for believing that the real reason was there were not enough votes to clear the bill.

Such has been the record o the more coniroversiai issues before this session of the Congress. Innumeiable other measures have been considered, and many of them have been importad, but the ones listed above provide an adequate basis for decidtog bow well Kennedy has fared.

It ie our Judgment that the President has not made out too well and there can be no question that his greatest success was in the early days of the CongreM. As the sesston has dragged along', more and more oppositions has developed to thfS recommendatl(Mis of Mr. Kennedy and he has bad increasing difficulty getting lus ideas enacted Into law.

Progress BeyondTobacco

(Hertford County Herald)

Tobacco is a wonderful thing for the state. But in a way, Its a curseit has held back the development of other enterprises.

The statement above would seepi somewhat inappropriate not" to say rashcoming in the middle of the tobacco marketing season and when.all farmers hereabouts are well pleased with the prices they are getting.

But it is the considered opinion of cMie North Carolina farmer, a member of the State Board of Apiculture, and ^he opinion , is highly enough rekarded by the Extension Service of State College that it was sent out by its information service to aU newspapers of the state.

And could this curse of concentration on tobacco M>ply to Hertford County? Has tobacco farming and marketing held back development of other agricultural enterprises, and been instrumental in the loss of Jobs and population on the farms of the county? Has the town of Ahoskie been content with the maintenance of its tobacco market and failing in leadership to develop other agricultural potentials? These are questions that rightfully may be posed.

The statement was made by Atwell Alexander, president of the N. C. Poultry Council and one of the top agricultural leaders to the state. And he amplified his statement by adding "that North Carolina has gone about as far as possible with tobacco and it Is time that we worked to develop our othr products. He could certainly say that again without any fear of refutation. For the fact is that we have been going backward

In tobacco, reducing acreage and losing foreign markets to foreign producers. It is a feet that we have gone Just about as far as we can gounless it is backward some more.

As a business ccnnmunlty Ahoskie would do well to consider seriously what this agricultural leader has to say. Windsor is taking the lead in establishing a firm produce market fw potatoes, melons and other products. Murfreesboro has taken the lead to this area as a grain market and processing center, with a budding livestock market growing in importance. Rich Square has its livestock auction market.

Business and agricultural leaders in Ahoskie would do well to take a close look to see if they are not bogged down in complacency and watch that they do not get stuck with the on-crop tobacco curse. They could ponder the further statements of Mr. Alexander who aays: "We need such things as food processing plants, specialty -ops giant vegetable growing areas, expansion of hog and cattle production. We have a Governor who is a friend of agriculture, a School of Agriculture second to none, a wonderful Department of Agriculture and many other things on our side. It Is time we worked to develop other agricultural products."^

When it brings good prices to-" bacco is a wonderful crop as Alexantler says. But It should hot be allowed to become a monopolistic cinse. Other areas are making agricultural progress with tobacco acreage. Encour-agement and promotion of other crops and markets are needful for the continuing growth of this area.

nothing and they amount to nothing; therefore they are morally supreme. But at Belgrade only Nehru had the courage to take a noble moral attitude. Both Tito and Sukarno displayed unbelievable cowardice and the Conference itself dared not pass a resolution condemning Khrushchev for entering upon a new era of bomb frightening.

He is not testing bombs for scientific purposes. He is using the bomb as a child uses fire-<u*acker8, to scare the weak and helpless. He is like the fellow who throws a fire-cracker into a tin can to make a lot of noise. Whatever should have been said, the Belgrade Conference did not say. It watched the clown play with his firecrackers and those iesent showed that they were not afraid. Of whom were they not afraid? They are not afraid of the United States.

But tba United States is not ac^aring them. So why should the Belgrade Conference equate the United States as being as evil as Soviet Russia? The reason: these men of high moral quality have no m<:ality when it ccm-cerns Soviet Russia. They are frightened of the bully. They live in fear of Khrushchev's anger.

Apparently one of the brilliant solutions to all our present troubles is to move the UnltM Nations from New York to Berlin. That would make Berlin a neutral city; it would also solve the problems of those African and Asiatic representatives who have troubles with New York hotl and restaurant managers. This great Idea emanates, one is told, from the totallect of Hugh GaitskiU, laader of the Labour Par^y and prospectiva Prime Minister of Great Britain. Did Oaitsklll ever think of the possibility of the United States declining to go to ihe United Ni-tions in Berlin? Does he realise that it would take a simple act of Congress for the Uidted States to refuse to go to Berlin? Let the Africans run the United Nations and pay its bills.

Then, the highly moralistie waak and backward nations will discover that without the protection of the United States, they would sink to semi-colonies of Soviet Russia, little slaves to the Kremlin, toetructed from day to day.

Aparrently Nehru sees what is ahead and refuses to be led any further by the noee. He stood out at Belgrade, a ooursgeous monumental figure who speaks without fear and whose words were applauded even by those who dared not vote as Nahru would have them vote. In a word, the apfflause for Nehrus speech Is a thennoroeter of what (Oonttoued from Page 6)

tombstones of the prominent families of the first hundred years settlement on Cape Ann. I felt ashamed to find the cemetery is such a condioa and I urge readers who have similar cemeteries to their towns to get iem cleaned iQ> and be sure aJfl the headstones are erect.

GRANITE VERSUS CEMENT When I was a boy. the great business of Oape Ann was granite quarries. Not only did Cape Ann granite pave the streets of large eastern cdties, but the walls of the city halls, banks, and other toruKxrtant buildings had granite facings. The wealthiest families to town were then to the granite business. There was a certain amount of fishing, but not much, as only sailboats were used and the fish were caught by lines and surface nets. Even the keenest businessmen then believed the granite business was good tor a hundred or two hundred years. There oertatoly was granite enough, and even now there must be a million tons left.

But suddenly Portland cement became popular, and quickly took the place of granite. Sidewalk edgestones which heretofore had been made of granite were being made of concrete; walls were built of concrete: and the facings were made of concrete. As petroleum came into use at about the same time, the existing paved roods were covered by either concrete or asphalt. In a few years, the great granite bustoess of Gloucester and Cape Aim came to an end.

This (xnises me lo vonder what other changes may now be going on. It may be that the leadHng industry of every dty to which this column appears will be sitoject to Mmi-lar (toongef. This means that your leadtog toduatrialists, and especially the Secretary of your Chamber of Ootnmerce. muet not be content with present conditions and close their eyes to new toduetrles to the hope of thus protecting the present industries.

INFLATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH US AND PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL BE I have been toterested also in reading the Court Records of the wills of persons who died before 1700. These apprasials would state the value of acreage. of the house, tiiet tools, and of the hogs, cattle,, and horses.especially the mares. These appraisals ratad a "mare" worth one poimd. . .whtoh was equivml^t to $5 to the currency that day. As the price of a good mare today is around $200, it would appear that the currency has been devalued, or the price has increased forty timesi Furthermore, going back several ceuturies, we find that a' country hotel charged only "two pence" for overnight compared with $3.00-$5.00 tociay.

When forecasting prices of the future, we are tocllned to be-Itere that a good mare will edl for several thousand dol-tors. It really seems that in only fifty years the price of most ooromoditlea wEl be ten times their present prices, to short, inflation Is nothtog new. It has always been going on ami I see no reason why H should not continue. R may increase gradually, or it may Increase to'^kpurts ristog raptoly for a while, and than being foltowed by a period of defiation. On the other band, we believe that each period of toftotton wM be greater than the last period of tofiatUm, and tiiat each period of deflation will be shorter than the previous period of deflation. I believe that for the next few years you will see a fatoly rapid increase to tofiattoo.
