It shows the People Os State Urged To Can Every Pound Os Food Possible To Save Dollv DlifitrS Serves. ■a the Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. r BASKERVILL. Raleigh, July 4. —The State of North Carolina which is now garden minded, is soon to become canning minded. through the cooperation of the seven radio stations of the State and the dailies and weeklies of the State. Beglnniing on July 6, the radio and the press will combine in the biggest effort in recent history, with this aim—to get the people of North Carolina to put up in cans and jars, to dry and otherwise save every pound of food possible, for fall and winter us in local communities. Visitors to North Carolina in re cent weeks have been greatly im pressed v(|th the .fact .that the Tar Heel state is plastered with gardens. Some of our towns and cities are lit erally honeycombed with gardens; and the gardens are all larger than those of last year. In mill commun ities especially, there are many gar dens, some on the plots of workers and others on the community pro perty of the mills. The problem now before the state is one of preserving this food, which is being raised. And it is the opinion of men and women, who know the situation, that, if much food is not preserved in each local community, people will not have enough to eat this coining winter. For relief funds hav dwindled and, in many places, have been absolutely used up. In the abaenca of cash, canoed and otherwise -preserved feeds are necessary, if North Carolina is to go through tfie' winter without widespread suffering. Backed b ythe governor of North Carolina and his Council on Unem ployment and Relief, this radio-news paper publicity program has been planned so as to bring to every cit izen of the state the necessity of pre siding food. The agricultural forces of the state are soldily behind the work. County demonstration agents in organized counties are bing loan ed to counties without such workers, so as to instruct volunteers in the work of canning, for the great bulk of canning will have to be carried on hundred percent Christian family. Tbe appeal was for family loyalty, for the strengthening of tbe home ties, and for standing as a family unit for the best in life. It was a ser vice long to be remembered and a most fitting cloee to a real revival of religion.—Reported. —HIMMOW, IN. C.

Red Cross chapter officers, school officials, farm agents, bankers, merchants and oth ers. too numerous to mention, are helping in this movement. The program, to be put on the air, will be definite and accurate direc tions on how to can and otherwise preserve definite articles. The radio programs will run for three weeks, at a definite time of the day for each station, continuously for the three week period. Newspaper publicity will contain the major points for the pub lic to consider. The two —radio and newspaper—will each serve in its pro per place. Governor Gardner, in com menting on the program, said: "I feel that North Carolina Is awake to the problem. And I hope that all of our citizens will extend their ef forts so that all communities will preserve just as much food as pos sible. I know full well that the press and the radio will help greatly in stressing the vital need of storing up food for winter consumption.” Dr. I. H. Hoyle Is Made Member of Board of Health At its last meeting, the VanCe County Board of Health elected Dr. I. H. Hoyle, local dentist, as a mem ber,^.(M,compliance with the statute enacted fcy the 1931 General Assem bly.' It was the first meeting held in some months, and prior to this step, Vance is said to have been the only county in the State in which a dentist resided where a dentist had not been elected to the board of health.

YANKS LOSE TWO: TO THE SENATORS Holiday Double-Header U Featured by Numerous Home Run Clouts Washington. July 5 (AP)—The league-leading New York Yankees were taken for two games yesterday by the Senators. 5 to 3 and 12 to 6. In the first game. Clark Griffith’s charges, verging on the second divi sion broke Vernon Go max's 11-game Winnirtg streak./ FMorib|j3p Cronin batted in two runs with a homer. There were five home runs in the nightcap, with Babe Ruth pounding out his twenty-third of the season l n the fourth lnnlngg, bringing his total to within six of Foxx and one of Chuck Klein; Manush and Hants slugged for the circuit for Washington, and Larry and siamxtffhg the other Yankee homers. Gomez, losing the first, allowed seven hits; Weaver and Mart)eery, moundsmen for Washington ; were touched collectively for 10 by the Yanks.

"How little the public likes the idea of such a program,” said the senator, pulling open a drawer in his de„k and revealing it filled to the brim with letters and telegrams, “may be judged from this drawerful of protests against the possibility of It." Could not the president accomplish much the same result, even without the wartime law, through the setting up of one of his famous commisions? “An extm-legal commission,’’ re joined the senator, “probably would hardly command the popular support needed to compel obedience of its mandates. “For example, the bankers’ pool of about a jrear ago was purely a presi dential suggestion. It gave some brief promise of serving its purpose, but as soon_as bankers generally real ized that it was not compulsory upon them to enter It. they stayed or drop ped out, and the administration had to await the formation of the con gressional Reconstru#ftiop Finance corporation. “Executive resumption of the oper ation of an abandoned piece of ma chinery, already legislatively-provided as one thing.

In spite of tlje corrupt practices act and ail its various regulations, it is re garded 'hare as a.'coftperv^tive ( esti mate that fully $500,000 was spent In the two recent primaries by the va rious candidates or their friends, both county and State. In former cam paigns; it is agreed, expenditures have frequently besn much greater. Ln the content for the nomination to a coun ty office here in Wake county bhly a few years ago, It Is supposed that fully >530,000 urns spent ln the in terest.. of only one candidate. Because of the excessive cost of the primary aystanj, it, is believed by many .that Its abolition would save the taxpayers of the State fully sl,- 000,000 over a period of ten years, and that it 4rouid not make necessary the expenditure of the tremendous sums of money now required of those who seek nomination to office. It is now-readily agreed that no man of moderate means can run for a nomination in North Carolina. But the cost of the primary sys tem. while tremendous, is by no means -the chief argument against it, according to those who have become so dissatisfied with it. The biggest ob jection to it is that it really thwarts the will and power of the people to select their own candidates. For un der the primary system, the candi dates select themselves and the pub lic gnertolly can only select one from among a number of self-appointed candidates, it Is pointed out.

(TO BK CONTINUED) It is ndt believed by any one that all crookedness could be eliminated by abolishing the primary system, since there would inevitably be some elenients that would seek to get con trol of the conventions. But it is main tained that it would be more difficult to control a couk'Yy or State convention either . .by propaganda, money, predjudice hr* mud-stinging Ithan' it would be to fool an electorate by similar out that, under.the convention system |he convention oelects the candidates instead ofVhte' 'candidates selecting themselves, and that much mrire at tention Would be given their witness ao<t, qualifications than under the pre sent system. Jf the primary system actually re flected the will of the people. It would be a good thing. It Is agreed. But it is generally admitted that only a small portion of the people actually care or know much about the candi dates and that they vote carelessly and without thinking much about the qualifications of the candidates.
