shrubs, trees and flowers, and the
balmiest of weather, it does seem
a shame that most all our efforts
must be devoted, not toward build
ing roads and school houses, and
hospitals for the uplift and pro
gress of our people, but toward the
building of mighty engines and
munitions of war for the purpose
of defending our country from
conquest by mad aggressor na
tions of people whose whole aim
seems to be to accomplish the de
struction of all countries except
their own.
What a ptiy it is that the four
teen nations of free people who
have fallen as victims to the greed
anc * hist of war mad Germany.
could not have joined togethei
from the first in their resistance,
-
May God give us the vision and
wisdom to devise some means af
^ er Ibis bitter struggle ends to
prevent the recurrence of such
wars. —Right now it seems that
fbe only way to prevent them is
to be sufficiently armed. We in
tend to do that, and when this
program on which we have started
is completed America w'ill be the
strongest and mightiest in the
world.
We did turn aside from the de
tense program two days this week
to lake up a joint resolution re
lating to marketing quotas and
loans under the Agricultural Ad
justment Act. The resolution as
finally passed by the House pro
vides a mandatory loan by the
Commodity Credit Corporation
equal to seventy-five per cent of
the parity price of the four major
agricultural commodities of this
country, to-wit—cotton, wheat,
corn and tobacco. As the parity
price on cotton is approximately
sixteen cents per pound, the res
olution as passed by the House
will enable our farmers to receive
loans of from 11 1-2 to 12 cents
per pound. When this resolution
reaches the Senate it is hoped that
this loan value will be increased
to 85 per cent of parity .
Let me urge all our farmers tc
pay strict attention to their cot
ton acreage allotments this yeai
as I sincerely hope that each and
every one of them will be able
to receive this loan on their cot
ton. If the market price is lower
than the loan of course all of us
will desire the loan, but unless
we have complied strictly with the
rule? and regulations of the Ag
nculiurnl Adjustment Act in con
nection v. itb our acreage allot
ments these loans will not be
available tc us.
I was glad we were able to dr
something for the farmers, al
though I am not satisfied with
what we did. Under the circum
stances now the loan on agricul
tural commodities should not be
less than one hundred per cent
of parity.
We lost another valuable Mem
ber of Congress this week, Repre
sentative Alonzo D. Floger of
North Carolina, who was killed
in an automobile collision in his
home town of Mount Airy the
evening of April 30th. Mr. Folgej
had been in Congress since Jan
uary 3. 1939 and was a member oi
the Committee on Banking and
Currency.

Burro Ball Game
AtP’dale Tonight
Today is Burro Ball day in
Porterdale. Those unpredictable
burrors, the snooty cousins of the
lowly donkey, will be the center
of attraction at the ball park to
night. as they do their darndest t
show the most prominent citizens
ball shouldn’t be played,
of the community just how soft
Each burro in the game is
thoroughly trained in the same
manner as a polo pony and theit
training is the humane equivalent
of drilling a hole in the top of
their skulls and stuffing in Spald
ing’s latest rule book
Those in« attendance -are urged
to take particular notice of Dyna
mite. the leader of the herd. Dyn
a mite has been called more name?
than the Japs at a Chinese picnic,
but he is the leader and unless he
is on the field kicking up his us
ual rumpus, the other burros don't
like to go through their paces
Dynamite kicks and bucks and.
like a true showman, looks up tc
the crowd and laughs heartily as
only burros can, whenever he dis- *
lodges a rider. Dynamite's mate,
who is called Gracie Allen, ’is !
quick Dynamite to join in the fun as soon j
as leads the way.
With men trying to play softball
and donkeys doing everything tc
discourage their efforts, there is |
only one thing htat can result, and
that is a game of the most hilari
ous fun that the otherwise peace
ful community of Porterdale has
ever seen.
