After launching on December 16 what is now admitted as a surprise counterofTensi^e which caught the Americans оП guard, Including the'intelligence, Rund- stedt’s offensive has been blunted by Patton’s men. The Germans advanced 50 miles on a 35-mile front be fore they were stopped. Some ground has been regained and there are hopes that the American troops will succeed in trapping large numbers of the Nazis by cutting through the waist of the salient. Meanwhile the Germans are making what appears to be only a series of fierce jabs along the Saar to the Rhine. Military opinion is that the Germanis have been suc cessful in stopping a winter offensive and that they have prolonged the war by at least six months. The American Third army has captured 7,825 prison ers since December 22 when the cpuriterthrust of Patton was launched. The Germans are claiming that American losses since December 16 are more than 60,000 including 24,000 prisoners. , BUDAPEST FIGHTING The Reds are fighting a bitter battle in the streets of BBudapest for possession of that Hungarian capital which has been defendèd street by street by the Nazis. Fall of the city is expected soon and then the Russians are ex pected to turn into Austria. TIGHTENING AT HOME James Byrnes, at the request of selective service, has recommended that steps be taken to induct all men into service between 18 and 26 who hav agricultural deferments. He has also recommended that 4-F’s get into war work or be inducted and that the'^War Labor Board be given legal authority to enforce its orders, treating Averys and Patril- los the same. The new congress met for the first time Wednesday and the leading topic for discussion will be the enactment of a universal service law. The president has said that he favors such a law but in the past he has been lukewarm about i‘, making no effort to get congress to pass such a law. . , Tlie American foreign policy, or jack of one, is drawing much comment abroad and in, this country. Many contend that the country has no foreign policy and urge the presi- , dent to state one, aside from the principles laid dowi^ in the Atlantic Charter. Others think the president is playing a waiting game for congress to decide what the peopje want in order that he might not have any repudiation later of any policy announced. RATION ACTION FOB FAIRER DISTRIBUTION The mounting exactions of a lengthened war and.the failure of past partial rationing to fairly distribute avail able foods to all Americans are reuses reported by the Office of Price Administration for tightening and increasing thO ration system on foods. Cancellation of unspent ration stamps validated prior to December i was done, OPA said, because supplies are just not large enough to permit spend ing both 1945 ration stamps and all those unspent in 1944, Stamps issued for this past December and for January are to provide for current needs. Major facts on the supply situation ar«: SUQAiji^The home canning ration this year is severe ly tighteni^ and coupons for no mjore than 700,000 tons cç^.'gfe'iiuuèO in the 1945 season, compared with 1,150,000 Îàna last seaaan.

Gen. Frederick E. Uhl, commanding g e n e r a l, 'ïtourth Service Command, an nounced here. General Uhl stated, "In addi tion to the original casualty no- tiflcatiori telegram and letter of condolence sent the emergency addressee from the war depart ment in Washington, a letter will be alr-malled directly from the commanding ofllcer of the chaplain of the organization to which the soldier was attached. This letter will be sent within a short while after the casualty occurs and will be specific in de tail relative to the, circumstance of death, funeral arrangements and overseas burial.

N. WARD in mind that from the time of receiving the original notifica tion from the adjutant general until the supplemental infor mation arrives from the overseas theatre, no further word will be available at the war department. ‘Prior to this new procedure, the only information in the war department w as o b ta in e d through the Initial casualty re port sent by code indicating that the soldier had been listed as a casualty on a specific date. This made it impossible for the of fice of the adjutant general to answer the many queries for ad ditional details on deaths. Un der the new program these de tails will be supplied families at the earliest possible date from the soldier’s commanding of ficer." Maj.' James F. Morlson, per sonal affairs officer, headquar ters Fourth Service Command, pointed out, “In addition to sup plying direct information on deaths, a new procedure is being put Into efiect towards supply ing progress reports on wounded and seriously ill. Some of the hospital personnel will write a letter to the emergency addres see immediately following the admission of a seriously wound ed man to the hospital, telling briefly the nature of the wound. Fifteen days later a card will be sent telling of the progress made by the patient which in turn will be followed by a second, letter in another 15 days, provided the wounded man is still on the se riously wounded list. As long as he is in this condition this pro cedure will continue at 16 day intervals. "In the case of soldiers wound ed in combat but not seriously ill a postal card will be sent every 15 days stating the condi tion of the soldier.” General Uhl explained "this new procedure In both instances will naturally be of great com fort to emergency addressees as well of value to the war depart ment. It eliminates the 'middle m an—so to speak—by having the reports made out at the hoe- pltal and mailed immediately to the person concerned, instead of being first transmitted to the adjutant general and thence to the emergency addressee.” General Uhl emphasized that this new plan will In ho way eliminate the "message of cheer” NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By o. w. M cClellan , June GrlHlth, one mile south of County Line, had a rather depleted and eroded farm six years ago. He requested as sistance from the Soil Conserva tion Service to help improve and hold what .soil he had left. A plan was worked out to do this. Before Mr. GrlfTith began his conservation work, his fields were rather low. For Instance lint cotton yields was 300 pounds per acre. Last year he made 500 pounds lint cotton per acre. He used to have around ten acres of corn and seldom made enough to meet his needs; last year he had five acres of corn and at corn harvesting time this year, he had 35 bushels of old corn. His average yield of wheat be fore he did conservation work was 11 bushels, in 1944 it was 25 bushels per acre. He did not save any J.ogume seed before, last year he saved 1,500 bushels of lesped'ezi seed, and 580 pounds of sweet clover. His plan Included crop rota tions. meadow strips, terraclns. Improved pasture and woodland management. He did all of the.se things and liked them fine. By having more feed and pastjire he was able to sell around S30 worth of milk per month list year. This was an added income from conservation work. More income has permitted lights, a water system, arji a painted home. Mr. Orifith would not have the former pon- ditlons returned for the sale price of his farm. "Consirva- tion pays." The Middle Yadkin Dltrict represented by J. G. Cra/ford as supervisor for Davie ¿unty Is willing to help any farm«- just the same as Mr. OrlflithI was which each emergency aldres- see Is encouraged to sem at government expense to a wund- ed'soldier once a month nor will it affect the presentJpolicy whereby a special report s sub mitted to the adjutant eneral in the case of any patlmt who has been hospitalized el ler for wounds, injuries or.illnss and wha takes a dangerous irn for the worse. helped, with no strings tied ot the help given, before or after.

C., as Second- Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879: What of 1945? As we enter 194S it is evident that it will be a grim one, certainly for the first half. ' Most observers now agree that Germany' will not be licked before summer, if then. Some, less optimistic, place the time as autumn or even 1946. It is also agreed that American casualties will be heavy, the heaviest of the war. Already we have suffered heavy lOBses on the western front whete American armies are car- iTing the brunt of the burden. It Is evident that the Qer* man leaders intend to make this country pay as dearly as possible for frustrating their desires and hopes in two wars in the last 25 yeiirs. On the home front we already see the signs of tighten ing the war effort.' One is the increased draft calls and elimination of some draft deferments. It is possible that we may have yet what many people think we should have had at the start of the war: A universal service act which places everybody on, the same footing. Another home front signal is in rationing. Merchan dise is scarce and a lot' of it necessarily a poor substitute. The OPA shocked housewives by cancelling some ration stamps and, rightly or wrongly, made most of them think that the government has cheated them. We will probably have considerable less of many things to eat than in 1944 —but nobody will^ suffer. Yes, in 1945 America appears to be going to war. S O M E F U li!

I like to think about the old Hebrew prophets who did not "adjust" themselves to their times. I would like to follow one who refused to adjust Himself to sunken human ways e ve n whien "unadjustment” meant a cross. I like to hear old St. Paul challenging men across the ages, "Be not conformed (adjusted) to this world (this age) but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds." Louis C.

One of the ladles drew the other’s attention to the armlets bearing the letters M. P. "That’s what I call sensible,” she said. "It’s much better for them to patrol the streets than to waste their breath in the house of commons.” Hold strap One of the persons we often hear about but seldom meet Is the "absent-minded professor” but yesterday In a crowded street car, the “a. m. p” was hanging onto a strap with one-arm and the' other clasped a half dozen bundles. He swayed to and fro. Slowly his face took on a look of apprehension, and the con ductor asked: Conductor: “Can I help you, sir?” Absent-Mhided P ro fe s s o r: Yes, hold on to this strap while I get my fare out.” Ignorane« Is Bliss “Now, dear,” said the fond mother as her son was leaving to Join the navy, “be sure to get up on time every morning, so the captain won’t have to 'wait breakfast for you.” Grand Success Bride: "Yes, I cooked my first meal last night—It was a grand success!” visitor: "How nice!” * Bride: "Yes, he’s going to get me a cook right away.” Encore Comedian: "Look here!

A bomb had demolished one wing of the edifice, and it was evident there was room for only about half of the com pany. "Sergeant.” ordered the cap tain, "tell the men who don’t want to go to church to fail out" More than half of the men eagerly availed themselves of the privilege. "Now, sergeant,” said the cap tain, “dismiss all the men who did not fall out and march the others In—'they need It most.” MOREABOVT f WAR NEWS BUTTER—Civilian creamery stocks are at such a low level that supplies in the hands of wholesalers and retail ers must be increased if a fairer distribution is to be ob tained. The total available for 1945 is expected to be smaller than last year. PROCESSED FOODS—Needs of the armed forces ter canned fruits are expected to remain heavy and militarjr procurement needs and set-aside requirements for canned vegetables from the 1944 pack were bigger than in 1943. The supply now on hand must be made to last until the next canning season. The present stocks of commercielly canned vegetables on December 1, 1944, was about бв per cent of the quantity on hand for civilians 12 month pre vious. MEAT—Prospects at present are for supplies during the first three months of this year are about IS per cent below the last three month of 1944 and also the first quarter of last year. This applies to both rationed and unrationed kinds. Hog production available for slaughter ’ is about 25 per cent below a year ago. a Says OPA: "Food rationing, in effect, must be p laced ^ on a pay-as-you-go basis. During the next few months, and perhaps throughout 1945, ration stamps will be only good on the basis of the supplies that can be made available to civilians with out upsetting the fairest distribution ob tainable'. Shortages in some items, such as butter, may continue. The choice and variety of meats and canned fruits and vegetables may continue to be spotty in some cities, but as closely as possible point values will be nmin- tained to assure the shopper a reasonable choice of ration ed foods.” HOW F.%RMERS CAN GET LUFBER Farmers who need lumber for emergency maintenance and repair of farm dwellings may now apply to the War Food Administration for preference ratings instead of to War Production Board field offices. WPB's Office of CivU- lan Requirements has transferred to WFA 15,000,000 board feet of lumber from its allotment for the first quarter of 1945 to provide lumber for emergency maintenance of farm dv/ellings. IFEWEK TRUCKS TO BE MADE Less than one fourth of the motor trucks estimated as needed to meet essential war and civilian transporta tion requirements during 1945 will be produced and dis tributed to commercial operators, the Office of Defense Transportation announced today. The estimate is based on the 1945 civilian truck program approved by the W ar^ Production Board. Increased demands by the armed ser-^ vices for all tyi^s of motor transport was given as the chief reason for the severe reduction. The total authorised pro gram amounts to 186,792 light, medium, light heavy and heavy heavy trucks, or 24.1 per cent of the ODT stated requirement of 773,935 vehicles. LEND-LEASE FOOD DELIVERIES War Food Administration reports that deliveries of food and other farm products for shipment to the Allies under lend-lease during November totaled 407,500,000 pounds or 251,800,000 less than in October.

The Davie quota this year Is more than trebled that Of last year, $1,347 against $4po, Mr, Sanford states.

The Nips were apparently caught unpre pared. Four beachheads were seized at Lingayen gulf within 120 miles of Manila. Elements of four divisions went ashore from à 800-ship convoy that stretched for 70 miles. Not one of the con voying ships was lost. About 100,000 men landed. The landings were covered by salvos from battleships and bombs of carrier and land planes. Carrier planes also raked Luzon, Formosa and Okinawa in the Ryukyu chain for three days before the landing, destroying 262 Jap planes and sinking or damaging 73 ships. The battle for Luzon, however, is expected to be a hard and bitter one. The Japs are thought to have at least 160,- 000 well-trained men on the island, or three times the num ber of American and Philippine troOps which were defend ing it when the Japs took Liizon. BELGIAN BULGE ; Fighting,In a heavy blizzard with snow as deep as four and five feet in drifts, American troops are making a des perate effort to cut the last main supply and escape high way of the Germans in the Belgian bulge. Observers seem to think that Rundstedt has been stopped; that there Is a possibility that a number of Ger mans may be unable to get out of the bulge without cap- ttire. It is not clear whether Rundstedt is withdrawing to escape being trapped or for the purpose of reforming for another all-out drive. It appears, however, that the Germans have been able to gain ground that will' be hard t^id costly to regain and that something like trench warfare of the last war may be ahead ^ til the weather permits a war of movement. While casualty figures have been withheld, it is gen erally admitted that when they are released pur losess will be very high, perhaps around 100,000 total. RUSSIANS FIGHTING ’The Russians have captured about half of Budapest in bitter fighting and the German counteroffensive striv ing to relieve the encircled garrison appears tp be stalled.

GAITHER SANFORD POLIO DRIVE OPENS JAN. 15 Davie county opens its 1945 in fantile paralysis campaign on January 15 and it will continue for the remainder of the month, it is announced by Gaither San ford, county chairman. The Davie quota this year is more than trebled that of last year, $1,347 against $400, Mr. Sanford states. The increase is due to the fact that 1944 was the second worst outbreak of the disease In the history of this country. Mrs. Charles Tomlinson . Is chairman of the women’s di vision of the drive and chair man for the various centers In the county named by Mr. San ford Include: Cooleemee, Charhe Bahnson; Farmington, Mrs. Vada Johnaon; Smith GroVe, Mrs. S. R. Cornat- zer; Fork, Mrs. G. V. Oreene; Advance, Mrs. Charles Mark- land. Half of the money contrlb uted to this cause remains in Davie county. Last year all of the counties in the state raised 149,378 and because the epidemic in this state was one of the worst in history the National Founda tion sent $329,474 Into the state for hospitalization and treat ment. There were 848 cases re ported to the state board of health and of this number 618 were treated at Hickory, Gas tonia and Charlotte, Hickory treating 435.

General MacArthur landed on Luzon island, largest in the Philippines, last Tuesday morning at 9:30 against light opposition. The Nips were apparently caught unpre pared. Pour beachheads were seized at Lingayen gulf within 120 miles of Manila. Elements of four divisions went ashore from a 800-ship convoy that stretched for 70 miles. Not one of the con voying ships was lost. About 100,000 men landed. The landings were covered by salvos from battleships and bombs of carrier and land planes. Carrier planes Also raked Luzon, Formosa and Okinawa hi the Ryukyu chain for three days before the landing, destroying 262 Jap planes and sinking or damaging 73 ships.

Wlnfton*Bal«a« N. 0. NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By O. W. McCfiELLAN Ivan IJames, colored farmer near Calahaln has a nice acre of improved pasture grasses and clovers he sowed last fall. He Is pleased so far and plans to de velop^ more pasture as time goes on. There are around 1950 farms In Davie county: If one-half of this number were to have prop erly put in one acre of Improved pasture grasses this would be 975 acres of protltable land. The livestock program and the peo ple would be benefltted more the first year than the cost would be and greater returns could be ex pected the next year. With the shortage of labor and the big number of cows In this county greater interest should be put In pastures. Farmers Interested in better pastures should begin now to shrub off the lowlands pasture first and start out ' for more profitable grazing. Your county agent, George Hobson, Vocational Teacher J. W. Davis, or the Middle Yadkin district personnel will be glad to help you plan a practical and profitable pasture program.

Suppose we apply some part of that cost to .the cause of peace, and we shall secure results for peace. One battleship would build and support several hospitals. Think of the schools a half doz en bombers would build. Visualize it all along the line and you will discover how much better the world would be, how much better people could live, if we were sensible enough to spend for peace what we spend for war. And, as history ^hows, unless we do spend for peace, we shall have to spend for war. Certainly, we want free enterprise, but we want free enterprise with a conscience and intelli gence. Free enterprise must know how, why, and by what processes it Is free, and then be faithful to all of its re sponsibillties. Free enterprise must see its primary ob ject to enrich all human life, not to obtain power of control. Aerosol Bombs . More than 13,000,000 aerosol bombs have been pro vided for the armed forces but they are used to kill flies, bugs and insect pests. The boiQb has enabled our armed forces to control mosquiios and entomologists say It will be an effective postwar weapon against flies in homes, restaurants and other public places, it will kill other household pests such as cockroaches, bedbugs, ants, spiders, silverfish, carpet beetle larvae, dog ticks and dog fleas. Tho bomb uses an odorless and nonirritating spray, developed by W. F. Barthel, H. L. Haller and F. B. LaForge, chemists employed by the bureau of Entomology and Plant Quaraiitine, of the Department of Agriculture. The spray has been thoroughly tested by wartime use and will be available for household use after the war ends. ’SORRy.MR.600 K V /IU CALL « YOU BACK! HE^S HELD UP JUSTNOVf!, RATION REMINDER WILKES MAN HANGS SELF IN CEMETERY The Home in Our New World In all of the talk regarding the new order, little has been said about the foundation of all social structure—the home. It is quite true that the physical structure of the home has greatly changed during the past century, wlien people are thrown together in ma.ss living more than in the separate institutions which we used to call the home. We have done a lot of talk, and directed many activities to wards creating something of home ide^s and atmosphere in the large units, but, after all, the home is the primary unit in the social structure. The home is the earliest of all institutions, and it was a thing of Divine ordering, or dained to serve the command to “be fruitful and multiply upon ihe earth;” And, that this institution might fulfill its miiision there were laws and customs to surround it. With the father as the head of the household, there were teachings and ideals of conduct and relationships. Deut. 6-7 is one of the greatest of all laws for making a home, and for us Christians, a Christian home. , But in this modern world little attention is given to the spirituel side of the home; and, that is the most important side of it. We are thinking and planning for the architec tural pattern which these homes shall take, and the cpm- forts and conveniences which shall be built into them, but there ;vill be little happiness in them if prayer, Bible read ing, and Christian teachings are left out. We can’t make a better world unless we start at the beginning, and make the fouMdations strong, and that foundation is a Christian home.

All frozen and dried fruits and vegetables, fruit spreads, lard, soups, baked beans and baby foods—along with fresh fruits and vegetables, cereals, eggs, poultry and fish—are unra tioned. In the meat list no point value Is attached to beef hearts, sweetbreads and beef tongue; Iamb Is unratloned on such cuts as breast and flank, shanks of all grades, pat ties, steaks, chops and roasts in utility grade, hearts, liver, sweetbreads and tongue; all grades of mutton ai« point- free; veal is unrationed in such classes of cuts as breast, flank meat, néck shank and heel meat of all grades In util* ity grade and lower for steaks, chops and roasts, and also hearts, sweetbreads and tongue. No points are needed to buy pork fat backs, clear plates, hocks, jowls, knuckles, regular plates and bacon ends, hearts, liver and tongue. A number of sausage types are also on the no point list. FUEL OIL WARNING ISSUED Cold homes later on this winter, with no extra rations available, will be the inevitable result of present overcon sumption of fuel oil, CPA warns. The request to conserve supplies came from the rationing agency following wide spread indications that many householders have dipped too heavily into their fuel oil rations and are burning oil at a rate considerably in excess of what they should have used up to the present point of the 1944-1945 heating season. BACKGROUND FOR FARM DRAFT Background of the selective service action requesting draft boards to reclassify and induct, to the full extent permitted by law, men in the age group 18 through 25 years who hold agricultural deferments is contained in a letter written to MaJ. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of selec tive service by the Director of War Mobilization and” Re conversion James F. Byrnes. Pointing out that the Tyd- ings amendment to the selective service act does not given the agricultural worker absolute exemption, and was not intended to. Director Byrnes states: “The secretaries of war and navy have advised me jointly that the calls from the army and navy to be met in the coming year will exhaust the eliglbles in the 18 and 25 year age group at an early date. The army and navy believes it essential to the ef fective prosecution of the war to induct more men in, this age group. . . . Other than the men becoming 18 years of age the only remaining substantial sourcc in this age group is in the 364,000 men now deferred because of agricultural occupation. You have further advised me that if this group is not available, you must call into the service occupation ally deferred men in the next age group, 26 years and older, most of whom are fathers. The chairman of the war pro duction board, Mr. Krug, advises me that the loss of these men would make it extremely difficult, if not impossible,, to meet critical war demands. Moreover, these older men would not meet the expressed neds of the army and navy.” Solomon Two ladies in a car disputed concerning the window, and at last called the conductor as ref eree. “If this window Is open," one declared, "I shall catch cold, and will probably die.” "If the window Is shut,” the other announced, I shall certain ly suffocate.” ’The two glared at each other. The conductor was at a loss, but he welcomed the words of a man with a red hose who sat near. These were: yFlrst, open the window, con ductor, That will kill one. Next, shut, it. .That will kill the other. Then we can have peace.” Courtesy The witness was obviously a rustic and quite new to the ways o£ a courtroom. So, the judge directed hhn: “Speak to the jury, sir—the men sitting behind you on the benches.” The witness turned, bowed clumsily and said: “Good morning, gentlemen.” DAVIE COLORED FARM FAMILY SHOWS HOWTO MAKE WORK,MAGHIMERYPAY The IJames family Is one col ored Davie farm family that be lieves In machinery and make It pay.

C. state CoUege Aluminum pressure cannerà will soon be on the market. New aluminum pressure canners will be in retail markets during the coming winter and spring months. Housewives who will need this equipment for their 1045 home canning will do well to keep an eye out for these can ners. Most manufacturers are mak ing the two sizes—the small size holding seven quart jars, andj the large size holding 14 quart pars. The new canners are cast aluminum and most have smooth wooden handles. Each is equip ped with a rack to hold Jars in canning and with inset pans— two half pans and one'full pan. This gives the new canners year- round usefulness in the kitcheii. The small size particularly is convenient lor family cooking and can save considerable time and fuel especially with foods requiring lone; cooking—soups, stews, pot roasts, stewing chick ens, beans, cereals and steamed puddings. Another good use for these canners is sterilizing baby bottles. Sign of a well-nourished child: Nutrition experts can recognize a well-nourished child or a poorly nourished one almost at a glance, without asking what the child cats. Here is a rapid check list of the general charac teristics of a well-nourished child, typijal of those devised by leading child nutritionists: A well-developed body with straight arms and legs; erect posture with stomach in; head and chest up, and shoulder blades flat; a moderate amount of fat with curves rather than angles; Arm; well developed muscles; clear and bright eyes with no «dark hollows or blue circles underneath: glossy hair; sound, well formed teeth; firm and light pink gums with no bleeding; smooth, IJrm skin of good color; a good supply of red blood; good appetite and diges tion; regular elimination; sound and refreshing sleep a good na- tured disposition full of pep; alert and cheerful expression; vigorous general health, aná a low "absentee” record at school.

State College You can help save rubber over shoes by cleaning, drying, and keeping them cold. Never leave overshoes outside the house. Clean them when they are dl^ty, dry them away from heat, and stuff with paper to hold, shape. Put them on and off carefully so as to avoid wear and tear. Take care of your raincoat and umbrella so they will last longer. Don’t drop your raincoat In a wet heap when you come Indoors. That’s a good way to ruin the finish by letting the surface stick together. Wipe it off and hang It up carefully on a wooden hanger. A pleasant way to serve fruit juice in chilly weather is spiced and hot. Cider and grape juice are favorites for spicing. Home economists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture suggest this method of preparing hot spiced cider: to 1 quart of cider, add % cup sugar; «/a teaspoon salt; 8 short sticks cinnamon; 12 whole cloves; 8 whole allspice. Heat to boiling, then cool and let stand a few hours for flavor to blend. Just before serving, reheat and strain out spices. Grape Juice is spiced by the same method but twice as much sugar and no allspice is used, and a little lemon juice Is added Just before serving. Canned grapefruit Juice is an other possibility for spicing. It calls for more sugar and more CALVIN GROCE I KILLED IN ACTION Pvt. Calvin Graham I 6«»f, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

WELL, HERE'S THE ANSWERS (Edltor!s Note: The com prehensive and far-reaching program for good health which the governor’s 50-man com mission Is recommending to ttie new general assembly Is attracting wide and deep in terest among all groups throughout the state. So much , we present herewith, for the Information of Its readers, a «erles of the main queiStions and answers on this vital topic which are of chief Interest to eltlzens.) Q. What is the purpose of tbe proposed state-wide program of hospital and medical care? A. To provide more hospitals, more doctors, and, more Insur ance for all the people, of the state. dReport'of state commis io n on huspllal and medical care.) , Q. Why do we need such a program In this state? A, North Carolina may be "The Fifth State” In many ways, but our rank In health matters is low—42nd In hospital beds, 45th In doctors, 39th In infant deaths and 48th In draft rejections. - Q. Who worked out the pro posed program for North Caro lina? A. A conunission of 50 leading doctors and laymen, appointed by the governor, acting upon the initiative of a group of the fore most physicians in the state, with Editor Clarence Poe of ‘‘The Progressive Farmer" as chair man and six sub-committee chairmen as follows: Dr. Paul P. McCain, Thomas J. Pearsall, Charles A. Cannon, Dr. E. Blackman, Dr James W. Ver non, Dr. W. M. Copprldge and C. Horace Hamilton.- 39 Cents Per Person Q. How much will the pro posed plan cost the state to op erate per year? A. The estimated figure Is $1,422,000 annually, or an aver age of 39 cents per person In the state per year (Report of sub committee on budget, composed of James A. Gray, chairman. Dr. Donnell Cobb and Dr. Reece Q. How will this one and a half million dollars annual cost be divided? . A. A central hospital $573,000, four-year medical school $349,- 464, and a $500,000 state fund to pay $1 per day toward the care of each Indigent patient In each hospital In the state. QQ. So much for the annual operating cost. Now how'much will it cost the state to put. such a program into operation in the beginning? A. The initial one-time or non-recurring items would be $3,660,000 for the central hos pital and $175.000 for the addi tions necessary to expand the university medical school from two years to four years. QQ. What do medical and hospital experts think of these estimates? A. Dean C. C. Carpenter of Wake Forest and Dean W. C. Davison of Duke both have Britain’s All-out War Effort men 14 lo 64 _ _ — HUM InouMrles. ihipbullding, etc. i И ■ la ш и и и и и и и и и и ц и J u u u D ^________ & & &A I I I I L1Í' " и д " ' Ш Ш W и /и / Cl Whol«-tlm» Civil 0«f«nc* a Un«mploytd Figures just revealed show that more than one male In every four between 14 and 64 years of aue In Britain Is in the armed forces. The above ebart shows clearly the total mob ilization of the British nation. With each figure representing a quarter million people, It shows the contribution of all males 14 to M and all females 14 to SB years of age. stated publicly that these figures are conservative—and not one cent less should be appropriated. Wake-Duke-UNC Q. Speaking of Duke and Wake Forest, why is it that these two fine medical schools do not supply enough doctors to meet the state’s needs? > A. Seventy-six n,ew physi cians started practice in the state each year from 1936-42, according to a study made by Dean Davison of Duke, and at least 75 more are needed each year to reach the acceptcid phy- clslon population j-atio of 1 to 1,000 in a period of 15 years. Durln gthe past live years, the Duke school, which draws 25 per cent of its students from this state and 75 from other states, has supplied North Carolina an average of 15 new doctors a year and Wake Forest an average of 20. It is the duty of the people, through their university, to sup ply the bulk of the remaining 40 physicians who are urgently needed each year. On the other hand, If the present two-year medical school at the university ceases to function, as the two- year schools, throughout the country seem doomed to extinc tion In the next ten or 15 years, the state will lose its largest single Source of doctors. Aid to Local THospltals Q. So much for the central hospital and medical school. Now what about the need and provi sion for more district and local hospitals? A. The governor’s 50-man commission is also recommend ing for the legislature to set up a Ave million dollar state fund for this purpose. This would be used In mailing grants (not to exceed 50 per cent in any case) to aid local communities in building or expanding publicly- owned or non-profit hospitals and health centers when and where needed. This fund will not be used in one year, how ever, but over a long-range pe riod. The $64 Question Q. Can the state pay for this eight anfl three-quarter million investment and one and a half million annual operating cost in view of its present financial status? A. The ways and means are up to the general assembly, of course, but If the state has owed approximately $200 million at one time, then in the light of its present fine financial condì tion, this program seems well within reach to the average lay man. (Dr. Paul Whitaker, presi dent, state Medical society.) State-Local Partners Q. What agency will be in charge of the general admlnls- traUon of the state's hospital and medical care program? A. The commission Is recom mending “a permanent state hospital and medical care coun cll of adequately qualified per- som” with "strict safeguatxls from political interference." П е proposed make-up of this council would be 30 members named by the gpvernor—flve nominated by the State Medical society; two from the State Hospital association and one each from the state associa tions of dentists, pharmacists, and nurses; seven from the pub lic at large, and three ex-of- flcio members, the secretary of the state board of health, the state commissioner of public welfajf, and the director of hos pitals of the Duke endowment. Q. Who would be in charge of local hospitals receiving state aid? A. Tihe commission is recom mending that they “remain un der the^ professional, administra tive, and financial control” of their own local and • representa tive trustees in order to retain community pride, initiative, and support. Q. What would be the rela tion of the state board of health? A. The same relation which now exists between this board and hospitals Effect on Patients Q. How will this program af fect our existing doctors, hos pitals and medical schools? A. It will utilize all of these existing persons and facilities, providing for expansions in serv ices only when and where need ed. Q. How wlll^lt affect the in dividual patlen^^harlty, part- pay or full-pay? A. The family that can pay its own way will do so. The family that can partly pay its way will pay this part (aided by Insurance, government, and phil anthropic aid). And the family that honestly can pay nothing will be helped to an equal chance with the rest. Also, the program will pro vide more doctors and hospital facilities, Including laboratory and diagnostic aids, in easier access to all groups, and hence at less expense. And it will en courage moire insurance for those who are able to prepay CANA Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Royall and children.

How will this program af fect the private physicians? A. The general practitioner will in time have better hospital and diagnostic facilities for his patients if he now lives where tfhese are hot wholly adequate. The doctor will also be more certain of his fees, due to the encouragement of Insurance pre payment plans, and the Indigent patients under his ' treatment will be enabled to secure needed hospital care.

(There occured but little mixing of the I'eavcs and other organic residues with the soil, and the strongly acid character of the rotting organic matter caused the percolating rain water to be add. It In'turn leached out the beneficial nutrients, leaving a strongly ac)d and rather Infer tile soli. In the hardwood forest of the south, the leaves and other plant residues, being rich In lime and potash, produced rotting organic matter ot such mild acidity that It served as good food for earth worms. These worms multiplied profusely, and In their travel up and down brought about a mix ing of the organic matter .with the mineral soil below, doing on a small scale what man does with hsl plow. Thus the soils of the hardwood areas become much better for crop production than those of the' evergreen forest regions, where the organic mat ter was left at the’ surface. But let’s look at the nation’s bread basket—the br^ad plains of the Midwest. Why are the prairie land of Iowa, Illinois and southern Wisconsin so much richer and more productive than the previously forested areas to the north? The profuse root de velopment o( the prar.le grass three to four feet In depth—Is the answer. This grass covered NOTICE E PAY YOUR '44 TAX NOW! The Penalty ^iH Go Into Efiect on February 1,1945.

Each year some of the roots died, adding organic matter to the depth of the lowest roots. In this way, over a long period, the rich, deep black soil of the Midwest was developed. This soil Is the agricultural equal of any soil In the world, largely because of the Introduction and accumulation of organic matter at consider able depths. This organic matter was not derived from the plant material at the surface, but from the roots which penetrated deep ly. And then there Is the myth concerning the fertility of Orien tal soil. Surely If Mr. Faulkner plans to restore “our birthright of vlrglle health” by Junking the plow, he should not point to the Orientals as successful advocates of his theory. A large portion of the Chinese population suffers from malnutrition due to an ex hausted soil, much ol which they have hand 'cultivated, rather than plowed, for centuries. And the primitive agriculture of India produces an average yield of only five to six bushels of wheat per acre. ■ No, Mr. Faulkner has not found the answer to our major crop production problem. Some of his thesis Is sound. We have been doing too much plowing In cer tain areas and under certain •conditions. It Is now recognllzed by many agricultural authorities. But there Is Just one way to maintain the fertility of our farm lands and that is to return as much of the essential fertility elements In manure and fertilizer as we remove In the crops har vested. No system of tillage, be It discing or plowing, can make good this removal. In fact, the larger the harvest because of better tillage methods, the more rapid the exhaustion and the greater the need for fertilization, This should not cause gloom or discouragement, for this country possesses^ deposits of mineral fer tUlzers that will last thousands of years. From the air, nitrogen fertilizer can how be produced in amounts sufficient to satisfy all possible needs. Every year agriculture scientists give farm ers Improved strains of crops to grow — and better methods of combating dlesases and Insect pests that destroy crops. What Is needed Is not a wlll- o’-the-^lsp-formula for crop pro duction, but proper education based on the jre a t fund.of sound practical and scientific Informa tion now at hand. By properly applying this Information as hi- terpreted by our crop production specialists. It will be possible to double food production In this country and at the same time follow the systems of soli man agement which will conserve our soils Indefinitely for future gene rations. There need never be a famine here even though the population doubles In numbers. The author of Plowman’^ Folly made an error when he connect ed nature's bountiful yields and towering trees with his nofertl- llzer theory. In nature’s cropping scheme there Is no removal of plant growth with accompany ing soil elements, as there Is In man's program of food produc tion Man harvests and carries away the corn and wheat, rich In fertility elements; but na ture's cropi are left to die, rot, and add to the fertility of the soli. This cycle Is repeated year by year, and gradually Insoluble soil minerals are changed ovel tkt "^а/ип. BURTON WILLIAMS Enlarging Buildings f AUGHT between demands for In- creased production and war-time building difflcuUles, many farmers are wondering how they can enlarge their service Dulldings to take care of bigger herds and flocks and larger crops. Building additions to existing structures is not difficult and can be done with the materials now available, For added structural members, used lumber will do if new lumber is not available. For the exterior, asbestos cement sidings can be obtained in most localities. They can be applied easily and quickly, and will provide a fireproof, weatherproof surface that will last for years.Also available for roofing needs arc asbestos cemcnt shingles. Made of two minerals, they are extremely durable and excellent for farm construction and repair work. Asbestos sidings niul osBcstos shingles require no painting for preservation. to more soluble or usable pro ducts. If nature’s soli could, by Itself, nurture a nation of 130,000,000, all soli and crop specialists would be without jobs, for all the farm ers would have to do would'be to Sow and reap. However, the constant harvesting of crops gives to us as food the nutrients which nature would normally re turn to the soil. Therefore we cul tivate the land and give bach in the form of fertilizer the nu trients we have moved in crop form. Farmers now know that land which is 1^, pasture contlnously and Is never plowed,, gradually deteriorate.^ In fertility. Like all harvesting, the pasturing of cat tie removes nutrients from the soil. It is not plowing, but the removal of vegetation, that causes depletion; If no vegeta tion Is removed, the soil retains Its fertility. That is the ABC of agriculture. Another point which Faulkner uses Is haphazard connection with his nofertlllzer theory Is the Egyptians’ cultivation by hoe of the Nile valley. The Egyptians harvest good yields, and Faulk ner reasons that Inasmuch as they neither plow nor add fer tilizer to the Nile loam, their abundant crops are proof of his contention.,Of course the Egypt ians don’t use the moldboard plow. Each year the Nile over flows and deposits a layer of rich slit on their bottom land, supplying all the necessary min eral nutrients but not nitrogen fertilizer, which, contrary to Faulkner’s beliefs. Is applied an nually In the form of Chilean nitrate. The cheap labor makes possible hand-hoelng of the crops,, and not a weed survives. Because of the lack of rain, and the type of agriculture practiced, sod or grass iftre not grown, and hence there Is little occasion to plow under organic matter.

COUNTY-WIDE HEALTH PROGRAM GETS UNDER WAY IN DAVIE COUNTY The county-wide health pro gram for the schools of Davie county Is now under way and will continue through the spring term. The program contem plates a series of educational meetings with teachers and miplls under the direction of Miss Marlbelle Guln, health educator of the health depart ment, examinations by the coun ty nurses to select pupils who need a physical examination, a plhyslcal examination by Dr. Roy J. Hege, and immunizations for ■mallpox and diphtheria and whooping cough for those puplli} ■who have not been vaccinated. HEALTH FINDINGS The flrst part of the county Ihealth program was carried out by the teachers during the early months of the school year. Teachers conducted such exami nations as they were able to make, weighing and measuring the pupils, and checking such items of physical condition as coiild be detected by the teach ers. These findings were tabu- Uated for each school and a tab ulation for the county was com pleted the olllce of Superin tendent Charles C. Erwin. The llndlnBs were presented to the eounty board of health and a plan for the health program was worked out. Endings of the teachers showed a serious need of immediate action toward cor rection of the health conditions of the school pupils.

There were 102 with noticeable hearing defects; 342 With defective vision ,and 24 with orthopedic conditions. There were 981 pupils in need of dental attention and 553 with bad tonsils. Twenty-five serious heart cases were discovered, with the possibility that most of the 553 tonsil cases are fast devel oping into heart cases. Of those who have not been vaccinated for smallpox within the past seven years there are 563 pupils.

FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Q. Aren’t the lockers of the freezer locker plants too small? They will not hold a small pig. A. You might put a chicken In the freezer locker but not a pig. Dr. Dan Brady, meat spe cialist at State college, points out that after the pig Is killed and dressed, he Is carried to the plant for quick freezing and for curing. Only a portion of the sausage, sparerlbs and things like that go into the freezer locker. 'The plant has trained men and equipment for cutting, wrapping and taking care of the meat In a way that is not pos sible on the average farm. The Lumbert'on freezer locker plant, for example, cured about 400,000 pounds of pork for Its farmers in the past year in addition to the foods that went Into the lockers. inQ. How can roundworms swine be controlled? A. Repeated tests have shown that growers must depend pri marily on sanitation, say State college extension specialists. The plan begins with a thorougih cleaning of the farrowing quar ters with lye solution. Then comes the brushing of the sow, washing her udder with soap and water, and placing her in a clean pen a few days before far rowing. When the pigs are atwut ten days old, the sow and pigs are hauled to a clean pasture. If they are driven, they may pick up tniection on the way. After four months ,the danger from roundworms is largely past.

In some of the more ia- vored areas animals have been grazed for the greater portion of ten months during the year. Temporary grazing crops of small grains, legumes, and rye grass enabled many farmers to save on hay this fall and bring their herds up to the holidays In good condition.. The grazing crops were planted about Sep tember 1, with relatively heavy seeding and (ertUization.

MOCKSVILLE SERGEANT LEADS INTREPID SOLDIER ON LEYTE with the 32d Infantry Division In the Philippines—iPfc. Charles 8. Nicholas, son of Mr. and Mrs. ’ O. R. Nicholas, lola, Kas., was recently credited with knocking out a Jap machine gun nest single handedly in the battle for Leyte Island.’ ? He was a member of a squad led by Staff Sgt. Roscoe Mabe, of Mocksville, when the group was ordered back to their com- ^any • lines to bolster the de- snses being attacked by the .Japs. Unknown to Mabe, the enemy had flanked the com pany command post and had set up 'Positions between his men and the main line. Nicholas, leading the way as a scout, suddenly cnme upon a Jap machine gun. The weapon was well concealed in a clump of underbrush and Nicholas was almost on top of the position before he knew It. Without time to look for cover, he im mediately fired a full clip of ammunition and. falling to the ground, throw a hand grenade Into the enemy emplacement. When the squad rushed the po sition they found three dead Japs and a damaged machine gun. Both Private Nicholas and Sergeant Mabe .are veteran jungle fighters, having partici pated in the Buna battles and 'the New Guinea campaigns since coming overseas with the “Red Arrow” division, in April, 1942. NO NEW TIRES FOR "A " DRIVERS; "B ” HOLDERS MAY GET HIT, TOO ■ CPA officials announce fol lowing a meeting here last Mon day night that shortage of tires is more se-iious than It has been for two years and that only a precious few new tires will be available during 1945 and 1948 probably none available to “A" and "B” book holders, John Reid, regional tire ra tioning official in Atlanta, sent the following letter of explana tion to the local war, price and rationing board; ^ "It Is becoming increasingly ^fpparent that all the optimistic reports prophesying a bright fu ture for tire users will be very short of expectations. All such statements have been refuted by counterstatements from General Elsenhower, General Arnold, from Director of the Rubber Bureau James F. Clark, and from Director of the Office of Defenso Transportation, Col. James M. Johnson. "These men are In the best po sition to know what we are up against and are giving us the lowdown. The tire picture, to put it mildly, Is going to be very tough on us folks—there is no doubt. "No Improvement Is expected for several months. If anything, it will get worse because, as we have told you, tires are suffering a terrific beating carrying sup plies to the fighting fronts and with the German assault by land and air, we are losing much equipment. ^ “This is certainly no time to relax. The 'tire picture is worse tJhan it has been for two years and it la the obligation of every one to so acquaint the public. “According to the latest infor mation from the national office they have just had a look into the 1945-46 production projec tions of all grades and classes for tires for the tire Industry. What tliey saw indicated the plain fact tliat there would be no tires for “A” book holders during 1045 and many ‘B’ book holders will have to get along with used tires. Tires from the new truck tiro factories now be ing planned won’t reach the market until very late In 1945. “It may therefore be neces sary to tighten up our entire ra tioning system.” . In view of these facts the Na tional Tire Rational Branch of OPA In Washington, has sug gested to the National Associa tion of Independent Tire Dealers that an advertising campaign be launched at once showing the necessity for recapping, repair ing and proper tire care. Eligibility llsti have been re vised as of January 1, and local boards have been reminded that they must use this Hat as a guide to be applied In determining who may be allowed the quota which is not large enough to go arounfl. TIRE CLERK Mrs. John Shumaker, formerly Miss Claudia Benson of Mocks ville and Cooleemee, is tire clerk and assistant price dlrwtor of Iredell county.

Each week The Enterprise summarizes the war news, both abroad and at home, so that readers may get a quick, bird’s eye view of Important happenings. Opening a long-expected winter offensive along a 600- mile front, the Russians have captured Kielce, swept to within 50 miles of German Silesia and are nearing Krakow. Berlin says the Russians have 123 infantry divisions and ' several tanlc corps engaged in the vast operations, more than 1,500,000 troops and Berlin does not disguise its con cern over the situation. Early Wednesday morning it was announced that War saw, bloody and ruined city which was the first national capital seized by the Germans in this war, had'been cap tured by tiie Russians. ВеЗгИп said that the Russians had taken the offen sive in at least 11 sectors of the 600 mile eastern front be tween the Baltic and Yugoslavia and that the Reds were out to force a decision of the war. The Reds are only 38 miles from the German Silesian frontier and they are now nearer Berlin than the Allied armies in the west, some 280 airline miles away against more than 300 miles on the west. ADVANCE ON LUZON Against only slight resistance to date, American troops are now 20 miles inside Luzon on a 45-mile front. The Agno river, where Jap resistance was expeqted, has been crossed in force and tanlc and infantry colurpns are driving down the main highway leading across the contra! plains of Luzon to Manila, 80 miles to the south. ■ The fighting for Luzon, howéver, is expected to be bit ter before it is over as the Japs are not ‘expected to give up the Philippines without a desperate struggle. JAP BOMBINGS Admiral Nimitz announces what appears to be a sig nificant naval victory. Carrier planes sank 41 Jap ships of about 127,000 tons and damaged 28 more of 20,000 tons in a bold strike last Thursday on ports and convoys off Indo-China. On Saturday fliers struck the China coast ports of Hongkong, Swatow and Amoy and hit ground in stallations at Saigon and Camranli Bay bases. ON THE WESTERN FRONT ‘ American First and Third armies have joined forces at Houffalize in the heart of the Ardennes. Correspond ents report that the once-dangerous Belgian bulge is now no тоз’е than a bump. Rundstedt, however, is reporting pouring fresh troops into the Saar and northern Alsace for possibly new break through attempts. . LOSSES ON WESTERN FRONT Secretary of War Stimson' has announced that our losses in the Ardennes sector from December 15 to January 7 were about 40,000, considerable less than some antici pated Of this total 18,000 are reported missing, presumed to be captured. During the same time the estimated Ger man losses were 90,000, including 40,000 prisoners. Our losses along the entire western front during the same pe riod were 52,594, of which 4,083 were killed, 27,645 wound ed and 20,866 missing. DRAFT CHANGES In order not to hamper war production, James P. Byrnes has set up a program for stripping the least war- important jobs first in the draft of Industrial workers 26 through 29.

Ckrnmmtê, М гМ к, M m tf» GUESSING ON BOOM AFTER WAR DEPENDS ON THE GOVERNMENT Washington—It Isn’t only blie recession after the war the eco nomists are worried about; It’s also the boom after the reces sion. For what comes after the boom, nobody can say. It will probably depend on the govern ment. Since we are all going to take the ride together, we might as well get used to the terms blie economists are going to use be fore the toboggan gets going. Or, on second thouetit, let's Just recklessly, set down a cal endar of coming events, based on Dr. E. Jay Howensbitie's study for the American Council on Public Affairs, called “The Eco nomics of Demobilization." Dr. Howenstlne has made a synthesis of the researches of other inves tigators. For the most part they see It this way: A postwaj reces sion, a boom, and then . . . bhe great enigma. Using some of Dr. Howenstlne's e s 11 m a te .s, and coupling them with military pos sibilities, the thing might run as follows: (Within six to nine months after peace. It would be quite possible to have eight millions unemployed. David Lawrence’s United States News last week es timated ten millions, 12 moutlis after peace.) • 1040: The boom starte—U It hasn’t sooner. me-1951: The boom lasts. It may last ten years, economists say, if it is nursed along a bit. And then—? The big enigma. I ought to say Immediately that I don’t really know this is going to happen, and neither does Dr. Howenstlne. What this study does, in ef- lect, is to make a sort of Oallup Poll of economists who have sur veyed the matter. And although the foregoing dates are included largely for the sake of dramatic effect, It Is a fact tlvat most of them agree that postwar devel opments are going to come in stages. There is likely to be a "postwar recession" (that's why the stock market sag.s now and fyhen when there are sigttw of vic tory) : secondly, even in spite of anything we are likely to do here in Washington, U^ere Ls going to be iv boom, apd Anally, unle.ss we are careful, the big postwar boom is going to burn iUseli out into a postwar slunip iil'ter a matter of years. TJie evidence assembled for the boom seems almost overpow ering, Here are a few items of present dammed-up purchasing power, waiting their ultimate re lease: 1. Deferred сопяимег de- mand, estimated by Harvard’s Sumner Slichter as about $25 bil lions by the end of 1944. (Thla represents that new electric iron you mean to buy, and the new car.) 2. Individual liquid savings, estimated at $50 billions at the end of 1943. They're bllllona higher now, and Include all those war bonds you’ve been buybig. 3. Business savings, net, un used, put aside for postwar re conversion and expanslon-may- be $25 billions by the end of 1944. Actually, one economist estimates reconversion fliianclns will need only about $5 bllllona. 4. State and local government surpluses, available for postwar Improvements, equaled $1 billion last year. Tlien, if yo« want to mention it, sums in unemploy ment reserves of the states amount to around $6 billions. These are some of the factors that make the economisits feel we almost certainly will have a boom, sooner or later after the war, almost In spite of any mis takes the government may make In handling matters. Economists think the govern ment should try to cushion the change over; head off tlie buy ers' strike or purchasing collapse that might set in it millions of workers ail became simultan eously panicky over their Jobs, but on the other hand not give them too much feeling of secur ity that would stoke up a run away boom. Every indication here is con gress will insist that the gov ernment keep its hands off. We will have to hope that the boom, when it comes, will be a calm level of protracted prosperity, and not a hectic, violent affair that will collapse from its own excess. America could give no greater gift to international peace than its own prosperity. We sliall have to wait four or five years. I guess, to see which kind of a boom it Is going to be. Economists seem to agree only on one thing: tlie kind of con trols necessary to guide a boom are available; whether we will let the government use them, however, is another matter.

McCLELLAN Jack Booe on Dutchman’s creek, west of Yadklnvllle road recently approved a farm plan with the Middle Yadkin district. Mr. Booe hasf already done some terracing and expects to do other conservation work as time goes on. R. W. Rummage, near Union Chapel, has a farm plan; he ex pects to sow some alfalfa, Im prove his pastures, make some meadow strips, sow some serlcea and do some terracing. John Ijames, colored farmer, near Center recently approved a soil conservation plan. He says he realizes his soil has been sllppiiig away and he wants to do all he can to hold and Im prove what he has left. S. A. Koontz, near County Line, approved a farm plan re- ceiitly. His interitioris are to do drainage work on some South Yadkin river bottom land. A conservation plan with the district would be a progressive move on most farmers part. It is something to analyze the problems of erosion and a so lution to correct them. A lot of farmers have the wrong understanding of the dis trict work, They can get the right information from the county agent or J, G. Crawford, district supervisor of Davie county.

They are being aided and abetted by many Afnerlcans, who do so unintentionally, yet at the same time, effectively. The old bugaboo of Communism keeps on being brought up, and in many quarters open criticism of Russia is not calculated to increase Russian friendliness towards us, or to enlist her support in our war against Japan. We have detected that most of such criticism has a tinge of Nazi propaganda—which is exactly what it is. If the Allies do not find and maintain unity in war and peace ,we must expect peace to be in the far distant future. This is no time to be playing up Allied differences, but Allied unity and cooperation. SOiMIE FUW! "xSiiTTiooirPATBioTtei не DONATED HIS RIPORT CARO TO тне PAPfR SAIVA6E CAMPAIGN !" EXTENT OF SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT SERVICE REVEALED Sombody’s Responsibilty The recent reverses on the European front which have been suffered by our-forces, is extremely regrettable, but not a defeat. Any army must expect reverses. General Grant suffered some of his worst reverses not many months before Lee’s surrender; and It was reverses of the Union armies in the beginning of the war which led the South into premature prophecies of victory. We shall over come the reverse which we have suffered, and the German army will be defeated, but the German advance is something which has to be charged up to the fault of Allied Military Intelligence, as well as to German ingenuity. We know too little of the details to fix, or even suggest, blame, but the general opinion is that our Mllitaiy Intelli gence made a dismal failure to secure information regard* Ing the German plans and preparation. It has been our fault all along to underate and underestimate the power of the enemy. That is not waging intelligent war fare. There probably will be, and should be, some shifting of com mands when blame is finally fixed. i A World At War The American people are entering upon the New Year of 1945 with their first realistic attitude towards the war. A few among the leaders and among the civilians have regarded it all, along as a serlaus affair, but the mass of people have failed to grasp Its nature, its length, and its intensity. We have been talking glibly about the boys coming home, and coming home to things just as they left them. Had we known history, or rather heeded it, and had we seen Into the events of the day, we should have known that such things were among the stuff that dreams are made of. For, things are not going to be the same. Millions of homes will lose men, the casualty lists are grow ing dally; the finishing'of the war is going to be long, costly, and bloody. Millions of men will never come home; millions of those who do return will return changed In feelings, concepts, and attitudes of life. The Impact of millions of men who have endured hardships, bitter fight ing, and bitter experience upon a civilian population who made high wages, continued sports, night life, and grumbl ed about mild rationing will constitute in itself a clash of internal strife. We have treated this war entirely too lightly. Only a few months ago we were making It a football for politics; radio comrnentators and news reporters have reported and commented upon war as they comment upon base ball and horse racing—not as a conflict in which masses of men suffered and-<died. War is a grim business which cannot be disposed of with wisecracks from radio comed ians. ; 1945 will be a year of destiny for the world, and a year of destiny for America. If we play our part rightly, and make the future a great future for America and for the world, we must, here and now, resolve upon all-out war, if we secure an all-out peace.

Comment was especially commendatory of Mr. Michael’s comprehensive re port, showing ijoil and wood land conservation practices es tablished to have been of wide scope, with aid given on the made by Mr. Michael including more teaching of natural re source conservation in agricul tural high schools arid colleges; more attention to erosion con trol and water disposal methods by the state highway depart ment; 'continued close working together of all agricultural and land use agencies In promotion of conservation practices. Interest among farmers In soil and water conservation has in creased, rather than decreased, during the war period, he said. Twenty terracers owned by the district office are in great de mand, though many farmers are using-tractors and disc plows. Backlog of Interest in soil con servation now building up will overtax present facilities In meeting demands for assistance at the end of the war, and it was suggested. that all farmers and professional agricultural workers and leaders begin think ing now to this end.

CATTLE CEILING EXPECTED TO AID HOUSEWIVES The directive of Economic Stablization Director Fred M. Vinson to place celling prices on live cattle should be a boon to housewives and dealers in helping them to get their fair share of all grades of beef at fair prices, Price Administrator Chester Bowles declares. “Live cattle re presented the only Important food commodity that was not under ceiling prices,” he said. As prices of better grade animals rose and beef celling prices held stable, a large percentage of good and choice grades of cattle went to a minority of slaughterers selling meat above celling prices. Legitimate slaughterers and ordinary butcher shops got less than their usual share of quality beef. Our entire pro gram of meat price control was In danger of a breakdown ... Price controls on meat have now been strengthened at the starting point . . . live cattle.” As a citation of the value of price controls Bowles pointed out that In this war the price of round steak at the meat market has risen only 11‘/2 per cent whereas In the Warld War In the same length of time the price advanced over 50 per cent. FUEL OIL SUPPLY “TOUCH AND GO" ^ Harold L. Ickes, Petroleum Administrator for War, cautions home-heating oil users that stocks are below last year’s level and that consumers should avoid excessive consumption that will deplete stocks too rapidly. “For the remainder of the heating season, meeting home-heating oil demands will be strictly touch-and-go. Fuel oil supplies are tight but adequate to meet current rationed demands.” Ickes said. “However, there Is not as much fuel oil avail able this year as there was 12 months ago. That means that over-consumption will make the problem more critical. Furthermore, military requirements have been stepped up, placing a further burden on American refineries.” still Alive A victim of chronic bronchitis called on a well-known physi cian to be examined.

Small Grains Show Fertilizer Response Small grain yields in North Carolina under average condl- tios can be increased, first, through the use of fertilizer at seeding; and sccond, through a topdresslng of nitrogen in early spring. W. J. Rankin of the Agricultu ral Experiment Station at State College haj tested small grains under a wide range of soil con ditions, croping systems, and fer tilizer practices. He reports on fertilizer responses from small grains following lightly fertili zed crops, heavily fertilized crops and following large crops of le gumes turned under. In the first group, following lightly fertilizer crops, largest yields of grain were obtained from the use of a complete fer tilized at planting and a nitrogen topdressing In the spring. The yield of wheat averaged 31.1 bushels per acre. In group two, following heavily fertilized crops, the yield of wheat was not Increased by ap plications of phosphate and pot ash but nitrogen gave good in creases. In the third group where le gumes were turned under on a clay soll,the yield of wheat was not increased by nitrogen either at seeding or as a topdresser In the spring. On the otherhand, applications'' of phosphate and potash at s<;edlng gave Increases In yield. / IJAMES X ROADS Mr. and Mrs Clyde Naylor and family were Sunday guests of Mrs. Ossie White.

Production Level For Dairy Herds The production level required in a herd befor'; ths rt a.m b:* ary profit for the ovic: vaii'.s from herd to herd, accordin ; to tin.' overhead Investment, labor, and feed cost. These facsovc! vary from farm to farm, and fruin section to section. Hercl.i with a high overhead and operating cos will require a higher level of pro duction for profit th ai herds with a medium overheuJ and op erating costs. Through numerous farm sur veys made by the fanr, manage ment department of the agri cultural colleges, it ha.s beon de termined that the feed cost ol a cow represents only ab iut oni'.- half ofthe total cost of hsr milk production. By doubling the ave rage annual feed cost of a herd, one can easily determine the quantity of milk heeded at mar ket price to meet the milk cost In that particular herd. It Is only the production above this level that makes possible a profit. "By classifying all the North Carolina 1940 Dairy Herd Im provement Association records, It was found that a production of around 6300 pounds of 4.4 per cent milk was necessary to In sure a profit,” says John A. Arey, Extension dairyman at State col lege. Milk production records, such as are secured through a dairy herd improvement association, are necessary to determine the producing capacity of the In dividual cow. “When it Is found through such records that a ma ture cow, after receiving ample feed and care. Is unable to pro duce as much as 275 to 300 pounds of butterfat annually, she should be culled from the herd and replaced by a better cow," Arey suggests. “ A herd average of at least 300 pounds of butter- fat should be the goal of every commercial dairyman. This would mean an average annual milk production of around 8,500 pound for Jerseys and Guern seys, 7,500 pounds tor Ayrshlres, and 8,500 pounds for Holsteins.” Fertilizer recommendations for flue-cured tobacco In North Carolina are 800 to 1200 pounds of 3-9-6 per acre for average conditions; 3-9-0 for potash de ficient soils, and 2-10-6 for fer tile soils. \ Join the March ol Dimes.

Mr. Early, should unearth a mine of gripes and groans from correspondents at SHABF- (su preme headquarter.s, Allied Ex peditionary Forces). He already has on file charges from Ameri cans both at home and those who have visited the war fronts, Bùt his real lob Is not to bo, to absorb protests but to recom mend Improvements. Unrest among, war corre spondents stems from a conflict of, Interests-.with the military. While the writers' aim Is to get news to the public, the military’s purpose'Is to keep anything that could toe of value to the enemy from being published. But as to jiist what Information is use ful to the enemy there Is no hard and fast rule, lihe recent counterofCenslve by Field Marshal Gen, Gerd von Rundstedt’s Initiated the latest objections f^-om the newsmen. Correspondents claim they have never been allowed to tell the whole story. They charge their stories ^ are invariably battered 'by ,'censorshlp. They chafe at a 48-hour time lag In release of news. Unfavorable bits of news have a way of being deleted. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT Maj, Gen. Alexander D. Surles, who heads army public relations, cannot be blamed for all of the present discontent. In fact, war news censorship has come a long way from the Civil War days, when an overcrltlcal correspond ent was court-martialed as a spy. Actually In this war corre spondents have moved with con siderable freedom to battle areas. Their stories, however, have of ten been held up and censored, and unauthorized news beats occurred which have only In creased resentment. Theatre commanders In' this war are the supreme authori ties as to what news can be told and when. It Is their troops that may be endangered by chance disclosures of information. But since it is also their own blund ers that can thus be covered up i:-,cre are ahvuys possible grounds for criticism. The army’s concern over this problem and hope for improve ment is seen ih Its invitation to Mr. Early to make this European tour. The invitation came from Brig. Gen. Frank A. Allen, SIIAEF public relations chief. He obviously Is nol satisfied with the present handling of western front news. Mr. Early, who holds a reserve commission of lieuten ant colonel In tho army and who has had years of e.vperience In public relations, has the added qualification of years of associa tion with the president. IN ADVISORY CAPACITy Mr. Early is going abroad, however, In a civilian advisory capacity. It has even been sug gested here that as a public re lations authority he might be preparing to step down as the president’s aid, possibly to take on a new assignment in this field of war news censorship. He is expected to be away from the white house for several weeks. His trip; too, has been linked to the coming meeting of the "Big Three”—or "Big Four" if France Is invited. And it could be possible that as part of his Investigation of censorship and war news coverage he would also attend the parley itself If it were to be held In Europe, Army censorship was out spokenly crltclzed some days ago by Frederick C. Crawford, board chairman of the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, after a tour of European battlefields, “America must be told only Pol- lyanna stufl," he declared Amer ican war correspondents told him In Prance, “WeW’re fight ing for a free press In Oer- many,” he added, “Let’s get a little of it here,” Another industrialist who made the trip with Mr, Craw ford, Charles Kendrick, president of the Schlage Lock company, agreed with him. War corre spondents said they wanted “to get the news to the public, but that the unfavorable part of the news was cut out,” he said. BLAME NOT PERSONALIZED “In France we found that the situation as it-existed was en tirely diHerent from that given the American public. We felt the American pubic should have the facts, was entitled to have the facts; should not be treated like children." But John S. Knight, president of the American Society of News paper Editors, which at the mo ment has three representatives abroad touring the war fronts, exonerated any particular per son or group for blame. “To anyone who has been a bit of the war, the first impression on com ing back to America is one of extreme unreality,” he told Miami businessmen. “I don't think anyone is to blame for that, but our national thinking just has not shaped itself to the point of realizing how grim the war really is over there.” .Some correspondents have b'jen particularly critical that casualty lists of this Nazi count- eroflfenslve period have been held up so long. The army has justified the delay by claiming that such figures might be of value to the enemy and also in sisting that the war command ers' Involvement in pressing ma neuvers understandably delay ed accurate figures on casualties. While correspondents un doubtedly do have legitimate criticisms of specific censorship rules, it cannot be denied that the army is improving its han dling of news One needs only recall how It suppressed news of the shooting down of army planes by the navy in Italy but later when Lieut. Gen. Leslie McNair was killed by a bomb from our own planes, the story was frankly told. Or the rein- SMOKE DEALERS PLANNING RATION SYSTEM OF OWN Cigarettes, which since last fall have been one of the na tion's wartime hard-to-get com modities, will be available at the rate of about IS dally to civil ians under a voluntary ration ing system planned by the Na tional Association of Tobacco Distributors. The association es timated the average daily civil ian consumption last year was slightly more than 17 cigarettes. The association with a mem bership of 2,r,00 which controls distribution of cigarettes to the country's 1,250,000 retail outlets, •said that a card system of Is suing smokes will be Inaugurated within two weeks. The plan, de scribed as designed to achieve statement of four reporters or dered out of France by thti 9th Air Force for ignoring a public relations olfictr’s instructions. The officer himself was with drawn. No one expects that Steve Early can Iron out all of the wrinkles and wrangles of censor ship. For it is a constant con test between the overcautious censors and the overzealous writers. But Mr. Early may de fine the rules of that contest more carefully. Both the army and the newsmen hope so. orderly allotment, would mark the first time an Industry at tempted to ration In wartime a scarce commodity. The association's action fol lowed a stand taken by the of fice of price administration thair It would not attempt to ration cigarettes because of the uncer tainty of determining the num ber of smokers. The NATD sys tem did not meet with any im mediate objection by the OPA. ISSUE CARDS Under the system numbered latlon cards will be issued by retailers to consumers who will be required to sign a declaration that they have not obtained cards elsewhere. The rationing will not be attempted at outlets for transient trade—hotels, rail road and bus stations—or at chain stores. About 13 per cent of the available cigarettes are sold at these places, the associa tion estimated. There is no livmedlate pros pect for any "substantial” Im provement In supplies this year, the association said, stating that In 1944 33 million packs of tax paid cigarettes were produced daily for domestic consumption. Tho system was described by distributors'at a wartln.ie con ference by Joseph Kolodny, as sociation executive secretary, who said he believed the plan will prevent "raids” on dealers’ stock by hoarders. Tobacconists, he said, "do not want to con duct their establishments like EPHESUS NEWS Jlmmle Miller, ron ol Mr, and Mrs. R.

C. Tatum, coun-- ty chairman ol civilian defense, has appoint^ a Davie commit tee for conservation ol solid fuel at the request ol the office of civilian defense In Raleigh. Mr. Tatum has Just returned from Raleigh and he stated that the office ol civilian defense points out that there is enough coal, if properly conserved, without the need ol rationing.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1945 "AU The County News For Everybody”NO. 46 DAVIE MAN IS CHARGED WITH GETTING GAS COUPONS AT 2 BOARDS Charges against Paul Edward Smith of Advancc, Route 1, of Illegally obtaining supplemen tary C gas rations from the I Mocksville war price and ration ing board, two of which allegedly overlapped with additional cou pon allotments obtained after ward from the Forsyth county rationing board, were ordered referred to the Charlotte district office of price administration for investigation and prosecution. Winston-Salem panel members who heard the case stated that records ^ show that seven allot ments of C gasoline coupons were issued by the Mocksville board on the strength of appli cations apparently carrying Smith’s signature. The applica tions, the panel stated, showed that the gas was requested to transport Smith back and forth . to work at the Hanes Dye and Finishing Works and at the P. H. Hanes Knitting company. Panel members said the first gas ration was issued to Smith by the Mocksville board April 8, 1943, and that a check re vealed that Smith quit working at the dye plant eight days after receiving his first supplementary ration. He had not worked at the knitting plant for the past five years, the panel stated. Smith, who said he began working for R. J. Reynolds To bacco company in July, 1944, professed Ignorance of the sev eral applications honored by the Mocksville board. He told the panel he could sign his name but could not read or write be yond that, but he neither ad mitted nor denied that the sig nature appearing on each of the applications was his own. The Winston panel said'Smith had been Issued two supplemen tary rations since he had begun work at the Reynolds plant, and that he recently had applied for a duplicate ration, reporting theft of his last ration during the Christmas holidays. FARMERSASKEDTO BRING LOAD OF WOOD WHEN COMING TO TOWN At the present time there is a ^critical shortage of coal for civil ian use. R. L. McMllllan, state director of civilian defense, has asked that farmers cut and de liver wood to help relieve the shortage. If farmers would take a load of wood with them the next time they went to town they would not have any trouble in locating a buyer, provided the wood is cut Into short blocks Kbout 12 inches in length. A pickup, trailer or truck load de livered either to Mocksville, Ciooleemee or. Advance would be a direct contribution to the war effort, 08 it would replace coal that is needed In industrial plants to turn out Implements of war. If you don’t have any means ot hauling wood It should not stop you from cutting wood at this season. There will be plenty of wood buyers willing to haul the wood next summer or fall, pro vided the wood is brought out to accessible places for trucks. County Agent George Hobson states In cases where farmers are Interested in Improving their stand of trees by eslectlve cutting or thinning he would be glad to assist them in determin ing the best trees to leave for future growth. _ .

Russian troops are rolling swiftly towards Éerlin and one army is only 137 miles from that capital The Nazi radio has called upon eveiybody who can shoot for help against “this bestial, overwhelming mass onslaught.” The Russians are only within 18 miles of closing the greatest trap of the war around East Prussia, home of the Junkers who have spawned German militarism. Some 200,000 Germans are in this trap. Both Poznan and Breslau are threatened and capture of these key points would admittedly endanger Berlin. Likewise the Russians are also reported to have cross ed the Oder river on a 50-mile front near Breslau. It is here that German rejsistance is expected to begin to show itself. It is not yet clear what the intent of the CJerman high command is. It does not appear that the Russians are tak ing huge numbers of prisoners and Nazi commentators say the withdrawals are being made according to plan, trad ing land for lives. Germany, however, has some 100 di visions m the east with 40 more in reserve and while there have been some reports of troops being withdrawn from the east to meet the attack in the west, only two divisions so' far have been thus spotted. The startling advances of the'Russians during the last few days has raised the question of whether or not Ger many is collapsing. Many careful observers point out that German strength has not been exhausted and that there must be bitter and costly fighting before it is oyer. Himm- ler and other leaders have been sent to the eastern front to execute whatever orders they think necessary to stop the Russians. That means shooting anybody who does not obey promptly. FIGHTING IN WEST The Belgian bulge has been practically eliminated and some think that the Allies will mount an offensive yet in the weat to strike simultaneously with that of the east. Commentators point out that the Nazis have apparently not'weakened their forces in the west to relieve the situa tion against Russia. For the first time in two weeks weather cleared in the west which enabled our air force to attack in strength and destroy some 7,000 Nazi vehicles which were pulling out of the Ardennes. The destruction was said to be the heav iest of the war, sufficient equipment for an entire panzer army. IN THE PHILIPPINES MacArthur’s men continue to advance in the Philip pines and the anticipated Jap resistance has not yet been met. Our forces are within 50 air miles of Manila and only 20 miles from the cluster of airfields at Clark field. Whether or not the Japs have decided to make every efiort to hold Luzon still remains unsettled, although mar tial law has been declared in Manila. It seems, however, that the Nips have decided not to risk losses of men and ships in attempting to send reinforcements to Luzon. Meanwhile the air strikes against Formosa have been stepped up, as well as the B-29 blows against the Jap home land.

Total, meat stocks are lower than last year and production of meat Is expected to be about 10 to 12 per cent lower We will not be faced with an over-all food shortage because supplies equal the pre war consumption level, although the composition of the supply may differ.

Country Districts Need More Doctors There Is- a great shortage of doctors In the rural areas of North Carolina; this was true even before the war, and the situation continues to grow worse. The Department of Rural Soci ology at State College, under the direction of Dr. C. Horace Hamil ton, quotes data from the Ameri can Medical Directory and the N. C. Medical Society to show that In 1940 only 31 per cent of the doctor.>! of North Carolina were found In the areas where 73 per cent of the people lived. Where one doctor Is needed for each 1,000 people, there was only one doctor for 5,174 rural people In North Carolina this year. The situation stacks up like this; the city areas need all the doctors they have, and the country districts need about five times as many doctors as they now have. Some rural people use city doc tors but Dr. Hamilton points out that 55 per cent of the land In the state lies more than five miles from the town and cities where doctors live. “In the day of the automobile five miles or more may not appear to be a gre^t barrier to reaching a phy sician,” he says. "Yet, about 58 per cent of our farm families do not own automobiles and less than 5 per cent have telephones for use In emergencies.” Dr. Hamilton, Mary E. Hollo- v/ay, and Margaret M. Cole sflg- gost that one way to get more doctors In the country Is to build more hospitals and health cen ters in small rural communities. Q. Is there a need for more Victory Gardens this year? A. Yes, says Dean I. O. Schaub of State college. With thousands of farm workers being Inducted Into the military services, the need for extra food production remains one of the major needs of the war. Every garden, re gardless of how small It may be, can add lt.s quota and help swell the total food supply. Fresh vegetables lessen the demand for commercial products and add much to the health and vlgar of those fighting on the home front. .‘The General's wife and GI Joe meet on the polio battlefleld, Mrs. Mark Clark and David Gallimore, visiting the Hickory C'.

Q. Will the quick freezing units for the home, available after the war, supplant the serv ices of the freezer locker plants? A. No, says Dr. Dan Brady of the agricultural experiment sta tion at State college, In charge of meats research. North Caro Una needs many times as many freezer locker plants as she now has to quick freeze and cure the millions of pounds of pork pro duced on our farms. On this point alone they could save our growers millions of dollars an nually. For example, the Lum berton plant cured about 400,000 pounds of pork last year In ad dltlon to the foods that were preserved In the lockers. The locker plant provides many serv ices such as cutting, wrapping, and curing that cannot be done to best advantage on the average farm. Home units will find a place after the war In addition to the services of the freezer locker plant. In fact, about 85 per cent of the freezer locker plants plan to sell home units after the war and they would not do this if It would In any way Interfere with their busi ness.

Ensilage Provides Much Cheaper Feed Silage is one of the cheapest sources of feed for dairy and beef animals, says John A. Arey, In charge of extension dairying at State collegc. “The use of silage and tem porary grazing crops, together with good permanent pastures, point the way to cheaper milk and beef production,” he ex plains. “Much larger amounts of feed per acre can be pro duced in all sections of North Carolina, If we will follow the best practices.” He points to the record of Wiley Perry, unit test farmer of Watauga county, as reported by L. E. Tuckwlller, assistant coun ty agent. Perry produced 75 tons of silage on five acres last year and it went Into the .silo In Oc tober. The land was In corn In 1043 and was seeded to crimson clover. The clover was turned under last spring and about ten tons of stable manure was broadcast over the land before It was turned. The silage corn re ceived about 400 pounds of 4-12-4 fertilizer In the row at plant ing and 100 pounds of ammon ium nitrate per acre was ap plied on June 20 to give quick growth. 'I'hus, an average type of land was made to produce 15 tons of silage per acre and provide for a much larger number of ani mals than had formerly been carried on the farm. As to feed production, a re port from County Agent John S. Hollamon says that many acres In Hnderson county need good supplies of additional nitrogen In producing corn. G. C.

Smith of Steeds was burled at Swalms Baptist church In Yadkin coun- ' ty last Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock. The Rev. Clete Simmons conducted the funeral. He was a victim of the double tragedy which toojc place at Robbins la.st Wednesday morning shortly aft er midnight. Smith, 43, shot and killed Mrs. Daisy Hunter, 30, and then turn ed the gun on himself, inflicting wounds from which he died a short time later in Moore county hosijltal at Plnehurst. Coroner R. G. Fry of Carthage, who investigated the double kill ing, said an inquest was un necessary, that the evidence ho obtained indicated clearly that it was a case of murder and sui cide. The shooting took place in the yard of the home of Mrs. Hunt er’s sister, Mrs C. H. Hall, where she had been living. There were no eye witnesses to the actual shooting, which occurred about 12:15 a. m., Wednesday, but the investigation developed that both victims worked at the Plne hurst Silk mills here and that Mra. Hunter was returning from work and had reached the steps ot the home when she was shot twice, the first load from a 20- gauge shotgun striking under her arm and the other load en tering her body Just above the waist. émlth then turned the gun on himself, and inflected mortal wounds. He «mnagéd to get out of the yard and across the street, where he was picked up and taken to the hospital at Plne hurst. The coroner said he was told that Smith had gone to the mill superintendent about 9 o’clock Tuesday .night and complained of being sick, asking to be ex cused from work. The superin tendent let him off. Smith then waited near Mrs. Hunter's home. What word#, li any, passed be tween them before the shots were fired are not known. The tragedy apparently result ed from a frustrated love affair, during which the couple had been seen together, the coroner saM.

At any one of the pres sure canner clinics that will be held In all sections of North Carolina durto^ the next three months. Your home demonstra tion agent or farm agent can tell you when one is to be held in your section. Be sure to have your canner thoroughly cleaned when it is brought to the clinic for the checiclng of the safety valve, pressure gauge, and other points for better conservation of foods. The agricultural engi neering department and the home economics department of the extension service at State college will assist the agents In conducting these clinics.

McCLELLAN For the next few weeks, farm ers will be doing considerable wood cutting. The usual prac tice Is to cut clean as they go, which promotes an abundance of sprouts and practically elimi nates any return from a piece of land if left to grow sprouts. L. J. Looper, north ot Fork thins out his crowded- undesir able trees to get his fuel and fire wood. He likes this ipractlce too. BiU Powell near Calahaln thin ned some .pines about 3 years ago. You can easily tell a difference between the growth of his thin ned and unthlnned pines. Glenn Cartner, near Smoot’s store, has heen .thinning his young limber. The first time he and his sons thinned a patch, they thought they would hardly get enough wood to amount to anything. They were surprised to find they got enough stove wood for their family needs on less than one-halt acre. This is a fairly new practice for Davie county, but any farm er will be pleased with this work it he once tries It. The Middle Yadkin District employees or the County Agent will gladly help any farmer mark a plot for woodland Improvement work. Timber production and proflt- abel returns will be had much quicker where thinning Is done. The analysis tag on a bag of seed, or a bag of feitlllzer for that matter, Is far more Impor tant than the price tag, say State college extension agrono- mlsta. Rules lor Cotton Growing Contest Any farmer landlord and, or tenant, producing as much as five acres of cotton in one body is eligible to enter the five-acre cotton production and quality contest in North Carolina this year, for which awards of $3,000 will be given. Farmers must . file applica tions with their county agents before July 1 and these will be forwarded to J. A. Shank- lin at State college, who is in charge of the contest. The purpose of the contest is to im prove the quality of the crop and to lower the cost of production per pound through higher yields. The grower aEi'oes in the ap plication to plant his contest acres with a variety normally producing an inch staple or bet-? ter and to strive to keep his seed pure for the benefit of his com munity and county. The state is divided into three districts and four prizes of $350, $250, $100 and $5'0 are to be awarded in each district. The grand state prize Is $750 - and this amount, together with the top district prize of $350, will give the state winner $1,100. All prize awards will be divided be tween the landlord and the ten ant on the same basis as the crop itself. Official yields will be on the basis of "calculated yields” as determined by measurements, boll counts, and weights made by the extension service. Esti mates will be made at five points In the field. All fields with high yield possibilities will be checked several times after Initial esti mates are made. ThLs method of determining yields has proven IJAMES X ROADS Sgt.

Nobody has yet informed the boys in the Pacific or in the European theater that the war Is over, and they are fighting in zero weather on one hand, and in jungles on the other. They are suffering and dying as they try to hold the lines, and to press forward. We could do with a lot less of night club life, less expenditures for luxuries, and much less idle talk about the war being over soon. Not until the people back home share some of the hardships and the thinkings of the soldiers, can this war be won. A JOKE A DAY VMO IN THUNOC0 IS SNOOKir- « VOOKUHS 9U6M) PLUM AROUND HtRI? A Good Governor With the minds and thoughts of the world centered upon the world conflict, there is little time or thought for the things close at hand, and events that ordinarily would claim headlines get scant attention. But these do go on, and without them world affairs would collapse. Local and state affairs are matters of vital intei'est to world matters. It is for this reason that the Inauguration of a new Qovernor some days aigo did not receive the attention Its significance warrants. Behind the change of Governors lies the successful administration of Qovernor Broughton. His administration was marked, both by a man of out standing ability and a record of achievement. As a liberal whose llberlism did not discard things of tested values, he exercised a leadership which moved along with the best thought and action of the world of today. High among his contributions was his contribution to racial good will, and the building up of a genuine friendship between the white and colored peoples as a basis for cooperation, and for the fullest development of each race. Among many other things he mtuie serious, and we believe effective, efforts to bring to the attention of the whole country the fact that the South is still here and Intends to play a part in the affairs of the future. His has been a most credit able administration, and the future will bear witness to it in greater measure than the present is able to do.

NON-FICTION A War Atlas for Americans, Elsenhower, Man and Soldier; Winston Churchill, In the Mir ror; Japan’s Islands of Mystery, Here Is Your Way, by Ernie Pyle, The Miracle of America, The Enemy’s Measure One of our great faults throughout this war has been to underestimate the enemy. It took us quite a while to find out that we could not whip them with wisecracks on radio programs. Germany and Japan were both better prepared t han we realized, and the general public has been left all along with too little imderstandlng of the true sit uation We have been more at fault in an indifference to what we have known to happen. It has been estimated that the last war cost Germany four and a half billion dollars After the war she borrowed six and a half billion from the Allies and never paid it back—^uite a nice profit for Germany. Then Germany, began conserving and uti lizing every ounce of material for this present conflict. When the war began she pushed peoples out of their homes and filled them with Germans. She has nine million slaves working for her; she tdbk over war Industles of other nations, and the natural resources of many nations and carted them off to Germany. In fact, Germany has thoroughly robbed Europe and conscripted every German into war service of some kind—and still we have people over here who want to quit work, strike, engage in pleas ures, and grumble at the mildest of restrictions. They are utterly unconcerned over the fact that hundreds of thousands of American boys are dying to prevent the Hit lers from overrunning America in the same way. We should know by this time what it is going to take to whip our enemies.

The meeting Is expected to be held somewhere in the Mediterranean. It Is thought that large staffs ot the various governments will accompany the leaders, in* dlcating that the topics to be discussed will cover a wide range. hatcheries, seed processing, animal breeding, crop disease ployment. “ESSENTIAL” AND “CRITICAL” DRAFT GUIDES Ш The guides set up by the War Manpower Commission for Selective Service in inducting men in the 26 through 29 age group make a nice difference between the “essential” industrial employment and that which is considered as critical” to the war manpower program. Most smaller communities (excepting mining and specialized manu facturing towns) which are closely related to their agri cultural areas, will find that most of the men in the affect ed age group fall in the category of “essential” employment when they work in such fields as the following; AGRICULTUKAL SERVICES: Commercial poultry hatcheries, seed processing, animal breeding, crop diease protection services, initial processing services of compress ing, threshing, cleaning, shelling, curing and the like, ir rigation services, farm repair and maintenance services, farm product assembly services, custom grist milling and ice harvesting. No “critical” employment is listed under the WMC guide for agricultural services. The production of packaging materials for shipping and preserving es sential products is also listed as an essential class of em- playment. In the category of “crltliiar employment, as It may affect the draft status of citizens of non-industrial small er towns, is listed such work as the repair of automobiles, busses, trucks, tractors and farm equipment. However, it is intended that in the category of repair services con- ^ sidération be given only to individuals qualified tp render * all-round repair services on types of equipment included in the essential list. Types of repair service other than the above named are deemed “essential.” In the field of health and welfare services the critical classification is applied to physicians, surgeons, dentists, oculists, osteopaths, sanitary engineers, veterinarians, en gaged in farm livestock treatment, medical, dental and op tical laboratories, pharmaceutical services, hospitals, nurs ing services, and Institutional care. Into the “essential” class go mortuary services, auxiliary civilian welfare ser vices to the armed forces, welfare services to civilians, church activities, accident and fire prevention services and structural pest control services. Only educational service considered critical is the United States Marltlnle Service Training Program; most others are listed as es sential services. In the forestry and lumbering fields the only critical classifications are those of timber tracts and logging camps, cutting of pulpwood, wood for tanning extracts, sawmills, veneer and plaining and plywood mills. Substantially, the guide system set up by WMC, which is In accordance with the directive to Selective Service by the Director of War Mobilization and Reconversion, James F. Byrnes, reflects the intensified demands on American ф resources of men and materials to wage the war, and the fact that the past years of war have absorbed the more readily available resources. WAR EXPENDITURES AT NEW HIGH Evidence of the demands of a vast war effort is the fact that in December, according to the Treasury Depart ment and the War Production Board, war expenditures averaged $313,400,000 a day—a new high for the daily outlay. The daily fate last month was 14.8 per cent higher than In November. CONSUMER FRONT LITTLE CHANGED The consumer front remained little changed with con tinued tight rationing controls by way of fairer distribution of limited wartime supplies . . . Most consumers recognize , that 1945 will be a “tight” year for most commodities . . . Retail prices on smoked pork loins and loin cuts have been cut by OPA by one to two cents a pound and retail cent- per-pound celling prices were established on both kosher and non-kosher cooked corned beef briskets . . . Owing to the critical manpower situation In the Mansfield, Ohio, area, Westlnghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co., vol untarily stopped output of electric irons in this factory there (half of an authorized 157,000 irons had been com pleted . . . Every town, every business district is asked— by the government to turn off advertising signs, dim il-w lumination and use electricity sparingly to save coal for winning the war..

In our crusade for more livable and convenient homes, our first Interest will of course center fn the room of greatest Importance the kitchen. An efficient and livable kitchen Is essential to the smooth operation of the en tire home because upon It de pends much of the serenity and happiness of the entire house hold. How can the homemaker achieve the Ideal kitchen? Plan it so it best fits her very own needs and work habits. Plan it with the guidance and assist ance of someone trained for this work. Soaking, soaping and scrub bing may hinder rather than help on wash day. While the dirt In white cottons and linens is loosened by a two?hour soak In soft, lukewarm, soapy water, longer than over-night soaking may do more harm than good, allowing the soil in the water to be drawn back into the fibers of the cloth. If you are using an electric washing machine, allow seven to ten minutes of machine agita tion for badly soiled cottons, five to seven mmutes If they are slightly soiled Three to five minutes are sufllcient for rayons and silks. Clean suds are in or der if clothes are not clean in ten minutes, though in hand washing a slightly longer time may be necessary. But long, hard rubbing will not get clothes clean if the water needs chang ing. Use Straw And Hay In Building House Like the youngster who nails two pieces of board together and sails his airplane from a tree, North Carolina farmers have made some ingenious storage houses for food crops. E. M. Prye, a Caldwell county farmer living' out of Lenoir on route 5, produced 357 bushels of Sequoia potatoes, the variety bred by theAgrlcultural Experiment Station ati State College, and found that he had no suitable place to store his crop. He bought 5 bags of cement and made a base for his pro posed house, says a report from C. J, Goodman, assistant county agent. Frye, then, used 52 bales of straw for the walls and cover ed the top with a frame, gable roof and composition shingles. “He now has an excellent stor age space where sweet and Irish potatoes, apples, pumpkins, and other farm produce can be kept,” Ooodman says. Going from the Northwestern corner of tlie state down to the southeastern section on the coast there is a farmer with 3,400 bushels of sweet potatoes and he, too, Is worried about a place to store them. M. C. Gore of Brunswick county takes on old feed barn and lines it with bales of hay, according to county agent J. E. Dodson. OU 'burnlng heat ers are Installed for use in ex tremely cold weather and an other good storage place has been provided for a valuable food crop. Growers are anticipating higher prices for cured potatoes in the spring. Hospital Would Improve Services Adoption of the recommenda tion made by the governor's commission on hospital and medical care which calls for the building of rural hospitals and health centers in all counties not adequately equipped at pres ent will also bring with it a number of other Important med ical services; says Dr. C. H. HUm- iiton, head of the rural sociology department at State college. If the legislature carries out this recommendation. It would m^an new hospitals In at least 20 counties, and the enalrgernent of those in at least 50 other counties. This recommendation is based on a well demonstrated fact; Rural hospitals do attract more doctors to rural communi ties. Results of a survey, conducted by Dr. W. S. Rankin, trustee of the Duke endowment and direc tor of its hospital section, and reported by him In a lecture to the School of Hygiene and Pub lic Health of Johns Hopkins university, prove this point, Dr, Hamilton says. Dr, Rankin pointed out three ways In which the addition or Improvement of these hospitals will also bring better medical services to the people of rural North Carolina. ‘ These points are: The hospital attracts the young, highly com petent physician with from two to five years post-graduate hos pital experience. Second, the hospital improves an inadequate medical service by multiplying the professional capacity of the physicians in the community. Third, a rural hospital greatly improves Inadequate medical care, especially for those of limited means Pédple/Spofs In The News Train Animals Now For The 1945 Shows Beef animals for show or sale should have a liberal supply ot bedding, plenty of fresh water, and salt during the feeding per iod. They need not be housed too closely but should be protect ed from severe cold and especial ly stormy weather. Young anl mais generally get enough ex ercise but the older animals need exercising. It may be ad visable to keep a mineral mix ture before the cattle, especially where no legume hay is fed. These are pertinent suggest ions coming from Leland Case, in charge of Extension animal husbandry at State College. He also advises halter breaking early and training of the animals how to lead and show to the best ad vantage. Show cattle should be kept clean by washing and brushing. Case suggests at least one wash ing a week during the month be fore the show. Clipping heads and tails, improving the appear ance of the horns, and proper trimming of thé feet are points to be learned by smart show men. The county agent will be glad to give pointers on this work. As to show ring technique Case says: “Lead and show from the animal’s left. If possible select ground for showing that Is slightly higher under the fore feet. Watch your animal and have him in the best possible position when the judge Is ex- almlng him. _ A light cane or stick is useful for. placing the feet and holding up a weak back. Work easily and gently so as not to excite tlie animal.” All of these points are not to be learned In a day. Good show man ship comes only after long training.

OUTLOOK FOR POULTRY DOES NOT WARRANT INCREASE IN FLOCKS The outlook for poultry does not warrant an Increase In the size of the flock. A slight re duction would be better. Broiler and turkey production should be Increased. Carry on a rigid cull ing and management program f iid use more efficient methods hen possible. Here are a few New Year’s resolutions to make and keep concerning poultry, 1. Buy better chicks. The highest priced chicks are gen erally the cheapest. 2. Place orders early. 3. Give chicks plenty of room. 4. Use good quality feed. 5. Prevent feed waste. 6. Provide automatic watering system. 7. Replace entire commercial flock each year.. 8. Cull often. 9. Keep records, and know that you are making a profit In stead of Just guessing. In opening my mail I came across the following ten points which make good reading. j 1.

С.) i n t h p h u n W A % ДАМиЛЖУ 29,1145 CHEAPER CLOTHING IS ORDERED TO BE MANUFACTURED BY OPA AND WPB Chester Bowles, head of O. P. A., has Issued the following ' statement about cheaper cloth ing prices: A month ago when I wrote you about the new food rationing program, I said that we faced further problems in our difficult taak of stopping inflation. I said at that time—and again repeat —that the decisions we have to make may sound unpleasant to «ome., They urgently require public understanding. To meet one of the most se rious’of those problems, we are ' now about to take a series of important steps. The problem is that of apparel prices, qual ity and supply. Our actions will be greeted with enthusiasm by millions of consumers. But they are bound to stir up some unfa- Torable comment—part of It un knowingly wrong as to facts, and perhaps a small part of it know ingly and irresponsibly depart ing from facts. I am anxious to share with you my point of ▼lew in the actions we are tak ing. First let’s look at the prob lem. Briefly, it is this. We have managed to hold the cost of liv ing within a 1 per cent rise over the last 18 months. This is in spite of an Increase in the cost of clothing over 11 per cent. Rents have been held stable. Food prices have actually gone down in this period. That is the only reason we have come near lidding the line. We cannot rely on a continued downward trend of food prices. Those who have studied the problem agree that the alarm ing rise in clothing shows no In dication of abating. In fact, quite the reverse. The rate of rise is accelerating. Unless we take firm action now, the entire stabilization program will be in danger. The principal reasons lor the Increase In department of labor index of clothing prices »re: 1. Shifting by manufacturers to higher price lines, and conse quent disappearance of low cost clothing from the stores, forcing consumers to buy more expen- • sive goods. For example, where as two years ago 70 per cent of women’s dresses sold below $7.95, 70 per cent now sell above that price. 2. Actual price Increases. 3. Deterioration in quality of many garments, causing a fur ther price increase that cannot be measured. While the average family in come in the nation has Increased On Draft Board i i i l C. H. Tomlinson, local busi ness man,, who is associated with Sanford Motor Co., was recently approved by the Ra leigh oftlce of the selective service as the third member of the Davie draft board. considerably, there are millions of white collar workers and fam ilies with fixed Incomes who have little or no. Increased buy ing power. There are the serv ice men’s families living on al lotments. The Increased cost of clothing is working a great hard ship on these groups. I’m sure you will agree that with the rise in clothing prices, with quality deteriorating rap idly, with low and medium priced apparel less and less available, and with msufTlcient textiles to meet civilian demand, any pro gram to remedy this situation cannot be mild. For two years now we have tried mild meas ures. I am sure that the time has come when we must act with courage . . . and with a full sense of our responsibilities to the public. Accordingly. OPA and WPB in consultation with industry are about to take action lu a joint program that will tighten con trols. Within tho next few months, the results of this pro gram should be: 1. Within the limits of sup ply, textiles will be channeled into more essential and lower priced types of apparel. 2. Manufacturers will pro- duc3 in the same average price lines In which they were produc Ing two years ago. 3. On the average, this cloth ing will be of better quality for the price. 4. Most clothing will carry tags giving the OPA legal ceil ing price. 5. Firmer control of prices will be in efifect at all levels in cluding retail! It is Important to note that this program will not increase the total supply of civilian clothing, but It will shift the emphasis from high priced and non-essential garments to the essential and lower priced cloth ing. Within a few months between 0 and 7 per cent—perhaps more —will be cut out of currently In flated clothing prices. Without this program, clothing prices might easily rise another 15 per cent during 1945. While inevitably the effect of this program will be to reduce Industry profits somewhat, they will still be considerably higher than In'peace time. Consumers will be saved at least 600 mil lion dollars a year. A brake will have been put on a dangerous inflationary trend. I know that you have been aware of this serious situation for some time. J. A. Krug, chairman of the war production board, and I have discussed this matter thor oughly. We are in complete ac cord. We Join In hoping that we can count on your assistance in explaining and Interpreting this program to the public. These are undoubtedly stringent meas ures. But I believe you will agree that none of us can afford to temporarlze with such a criti cal war time problem. MORE ABOUT Pressure Cooker cloth. Dry thoroughly, 2.
