Lester, who lived al! of his life in Mocksvllle until the war and who attended the local high school, was spending the holi­ days with friends. He and one of the small boys In the party had taken a boat vide, after which he decided to take a swim. He was a good swimmer and since little water was found in his lungs, physicians expressed the opinion that he suffered a heart attacii after entering the water, particularly since the water in the pool was shallow and graduated in depth. The small boy, who was pres­ ent when Lester sank, ran to the house to give the alarm but It was about 40 minutes before the searching party could locate the body.

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. Advancing 150 miles in 11 days on a 350-mile front, two Russian armies captured the White Russian capital of Minsk Monday, the last remaining large town held by the Germans in Russia. Since the offensive began the Rus­ sians have killed or captured 225,000 Germans and another estimated 200,000 are thought to be caught in the trap at Minsk. The Russian offensive is the mightiest of the war and their speed exceeds that of the Nazis in the early days of the war. Tlie capture of Minsk opens the gateway to Warsaw and Berlin itself and Berlin commentators admit that the Nazi defense is disorganized. Moscow said that the German troops were demoralized, with poor leadership and wholesale surrender. NEW OFFENSIVE IN FRANCE U. S. troops exploded an offensive Monday along a 40- mile front on the lower Cherbourg peninsula, advancing in rain and mud into stout German defenses which Rommel had inspected two months ago and considered adequate. Some observers think the objective is the Caen-Avranches highway which would straighten and shorten the Allied front in Normandy and give it a triple system of lateral roads, in addition to the Caen-Cherbourg railway, to service the fighting lines for the next big move. What the next Allied big move may be remains of course to be seen but some think that it will be against the Brittany peninsula which has many fine ports, including Brest. FIGHTING IN ITALY Allied troops in Italy have taken Siena, 30 miles from Florence, as well as Cecina. The Germans have thrown re­ inforcements into the fighting with elements nf ten divi­ sions facing the fifth army alone. The fifth is only 20 miles from the Gothic defense line running from Pisa to Rimini on the Adriatic. The famed art treasures of Siena were found intact. FIGHTING AT SAIPAN The Japs on Saipan have been squeezed into the north­ ern neck of the Island and the final assault is not far away. More than 6,000 Japs have been killed, 200 taken prisoner. Our losses have been heavy, 9,752 killed, wounded and miss­ ing in 14 days of the fight. There were 1,474 killed, 7,400 wounded and 878 missing. Gets Purple Heart Award Pfc. Willie F. Forrest, son of Mrs. J. F. Forrest of route 4, has received the Purple Heart ac­ cording to a letter received from him by his mothdr stating that he is mailing the decoration to her. H e was slightly wounded in the invasion of France, he wrote from England. Good Rain Is Badly Needed Unless the county gets rain within a week the tobacco crop will suffer irreparable damage, according to George Hobson, county agent. Corn is also suffering tor rain. Cotton is still in fairly good shape, except that the late plantings need moisture. The dry, hot weather has parched most of the gardens, As the paper went to press a good, slow rain was falling •— the kind the doctor ordered. New Principal .1. F. Lowrance, aiiove, who has been principal of the .Toncsville schools for the past three years, has been elected, principal of the Mocksville High school to .succeed W . S. Horton, who resigned to ac­ cept the principalship of the Thomasvllle High school. PAGE 2 THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C.) ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, JULY 7,1944 1 YADKIN PRISON ESCAPEES ARE BROUGTBACKTOCOHI A hunted m a n ’s llfu Is hard 1 one, according to the version! that Robert Powers, 18, and Tal- m adge Parsons, 31, gave of it last week when they were recap­ tured after escaping irom the Yadkin county prison gang a ■week ago M onday at Rockford. Both of these boys admitted that life Is hard for a m a n who is trying to keep out of the reach of the long and avenging arm of the law, with scarcely anything to eat except wild berries and with only a rock or a log for a pillow. W h e n a fellow knows that he 3s being hunted with dogs and guns, and feels that the m en are really out to get him, that puts a little different angle to a m a n ’s w ay ot thinking, according to Parsons who finally decided that life was more precious than he thought w hen he vowed earlier In the week that he would never give ,up., Parsons was captured in a huge 1500 acre tract of timber near Cllngman Saturday m orn­ ing by Ed Hudspeth, who had run the bloodhounds constantly ior the entire length of the hunt. Parsons said that he didn't have any particular destination in mind, that all he wanted to do was to escape. His buddy, Po w ­ ers, was caught about 4:30 Fri­ day morning as they came down a road at Cllngman and paused to look at a sign post. H e was taken in by Harvey Pardue. Parsons laughed w hen he told of escaping that morning and how he tore down a couple of chicken wire fences ot a farmer w ho had only, erected them the day before. He related his experiences of the six-day hunt and said that they only had two meals, one in Surry on Tuesday afternoon and one In Wilkes Thursday night. “A m an can stand only so much, you iniow,” Parsons drawled, "a n d I guess I had about had enough.” He said that a m an gets pretty hungry when he has to go for two or three days with­ out eating a bite from a kitchen, and that sleeping only tour or flve hours at night doesn't long enable a m an to keep the pace, especially w hen ho is being chased by such tenacious m en as the posse that formed, to bring him back. Ho de.scrlbod pretty well the method he and Powers used to throw the dogs off the track, but said. Caiitiircd after eluding a posse for six days. Convict Tainiadgc Parsons is shown back in Yadkinvillc county prison camp with Superin­ tendent Leslie Hauser, one of (he leaders of the searcii. CONCORD The Rev.

N. and Jackie Tutterow, Hayden Benson, Billy Spry, Henry Crotts and R. V. Spry. WINDY CITY Robert Powers reclines in the cage of the picfc-up truck after his capture last Satur­ day and draws on a cigaret as lie recounts some of his experi­ ences of the game of hide and seek that he played with of­ ficers. longer. Last Friday afternoon when the chase was hot and heavy, Parsons eluded the chasers in "You!the big patch of woods and can’t fool the dogs for They’ll soon get wise to you." Parsons thinks it is easier for two to cross up bloodhounds than for one. Anyhow he said they had less trouble before P o w ­ ers surrendered. From the time he escaped u n ­ til he was captured, at least a dozen volleys were fired at him, and that fact, and the fact that every attempt he m ade to get out of the big tract of timber had brought him woe, finally convinced him that It was hope­ less to continue the game any long, drank from the same spring twice. Often the m en were act­ ually trailing the ofTicers, he said. As grim testimony to the u n ­ erring aim of the prison guard, Parsons carries 14 sh(jt in his back and head and Powers car­ ries at least 11 shot received the day they escaped. Both prison­ ers think It was a miracle that they didn’t get killed. Twice before. Parsons had es­ caped from prison camps. The past February from the Yadkin prison, and earlier from Cale­ donia prison farm in Halifax county. Parsons is a native of Parsons- viile, Wilkes county, but his mother lives at Lenoir.

Leslie Hauser, camp superin­ tendent, expresses his thanks to all law enforcement officers and m any other m en who helped make up the posse that partici­ pated In the hunt, and said that It would have been virtually Im­ possible to have caught the men. The posse takes time out for lunch near Ciingmnn. Grover Shermer Is shown in front center; Leslie Hauser Is be- hind him, as Ed Hudspeth goes for a drink of water.

Citizens Urged to Combat Paralysis Yesterday, Stokes, Yadkin and Davie counties were thus far un­ touched by the outbreak of in­ fantile paralysis which threat­ ens western North Carolina, ac­ cording to reports from the dis­ trict health department. Officials at the health depart­ ment have Issued suggestions de­ signed to keep the chances of local Infection at a m inim um and to help curb the spread of infection if new cases occur. They urged parents to be watch­ ful • of their children— and of themselves too— and to call a physician in case of illness. Al­ though no new cases of Infan­ tile paralysis have been reported in the four counties this year, the perlpd from June through September Is regarded as the season w hen the disease gen­ erally Is on the upswing In the United States, Consequently, officials of the health depart­ ment advised, everyone should keep a cautious watch for signs of Illness which might be Infan­ tile paralysis (also known as poliomyelitis), "Be alert to any early signs of Illness or changes In normal state of health, especially In children,” health authorities ad­ vised. "D o not assume that a stomach upset, constipation, diarrhea, severe headache, or signs of a cold or fever are of no Importance, These m ay be am ong the first symptoms of in­ fantile paralysis. All children and adults sick with unexpected fever should be put to bed and isolated pending medical diag­ nosis, The next step, and one which should be taken im m e­ diately, Is to call a physician." In the meantime, m any new cases in the upper Piedmont counties has swelled the total cases In North Carolina to 165. Forsyth county has reported two cases.

Entered at the Post Office at Mocksville, N. C., as Second- Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879, г.в.цд;?* - C o tö lln e a ' И Ц * A SSO CIA TI« Tlie war is entering its critical and decisive stage. It may yet be sometime before the end, and there will be hard and costly fighting, but with already a million Allied sol­ diers on French soil, and other millions poised to land the long periods of waiting are over, and the destinies of mill­ ions now hang in the balance. For our part we entertain ho other thought than that of victory, and at this crucial moment the American people will back up our fighting men by buying war bonds to the utmost limit of our ability, and by working hard to produce the necssary supplies to Insure victory. We expect victory to bring joy and elation to the hearts of all true Americans, and to the hearts of our gallant Allies. We would be less than human if we did not feel elated even at the thought of victory. But there are sobering thoughts which should, and will keep our re­ joicing within proper bounds. Punishment there must be for those guilty of inflicting this war upon the world, but victory will not be one of vengence, but of liberation and .reconstruction. The duties and responsibilites will be vastly greater than the responsibilities and duties of war. It will require more wisdom, more patience, more sacrifice, more jtoil, more cost to build a better world than it has required Ito win victory. ; - V The responsibilities should so sober and temper - pur minds and dispositions, that we put aside our wrangllngs over politics, our demands for special privileges and beine- ilts, our racial prejudices and get down to the real ¡task of securing, not merely “mine”, but that peace and jUBltice ;which will enable all men everywhere to secure the op­ portunities to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Every once in awhile we hear somebody say, “we may have a revolution.’’ Those somebodies are several years late. We are in the middle of a revolution now. In fact, it may be nearer the truth to say that we are almost through it; If you doubt that take a look at the social legislation passed during the last twelve years; look at the shifts in political power, and the amazing social and economic changes. Not many years ago twelve to fourteen hours svere ingrained in the minds of people as a reasonable working day. Now. in many cities stores open a 9 A. M. and close at 5 P. M. Industry has adopted the method of iworking in shifts and machinery has revolutionized It^l^r- on the farms. , Not many years ago we were advocating more lelWrd time for workers, higher wages, and more equitable dis­ tribution of wealth. Perhaps, the goal in those fields have not been fully attained, but we have just about reached the point where the great question is not, do the people have enough leisure time, sufficient wages, and ariiple opportunity, but, now that they have these, what are they going to do with them? To our way of thinking that is the most important question which we have to ari^wey today. A JOKE A DAY -Hä 'EN’T I SEEN.« YOUR FACE ШОКЕ? Diner: "T w o eggs please.

C. last week at a meeting of the American Legion, the Vice-Commander, Roy Mc- Millian, declared, “The American Legion, larger and stronger than ever before and increasing in numbers and strength, will continue to fight for a universal service act enforceable in time of war, with blood, sweat and money selected to serve. This is Democracy. This is just,” The Vice-Commander speaks our sentiments. We should have had such a law for the emergency which now faces us, We should have had it, but for the petty, prejudiced bickering ol' a vote-conscious congress. The fellows who blocked that lebislation should, and' will, realize that soldiers will vote after the war. Farmer Will Reduce .Tobacco Plant Beds W hie m any farmers had all kinds dr trouble getting enough tobacco plants to set the desired acreage this year, D, H . Jordan of Tabor City plans to reduce his beds h'om 1,100 square yards to 600 yards ne.xt year, according to County , Agent Charles D. Raper of the State college ex­ tension service, Jordan learned two points on how to produce healthy plants and have them ready for set­ ting in the field early 1« the season. One was weed control and the other blue mold control. Last fall he treated a portion of his beds with cyanamld in the proper manner about 60 days before seeding and did not dis­ turb the beds w hen he put In his seed. As a result. It took only an hour to pull weeds on 100 square yards of treated beds as compared with several hours on the untreated beds. W h e n blue mold appeared la?t spring, he put eight Inch boards around some beds and carefully packed the bids wlth_ dirt so аз to m ak« them air tight. He bought Bon)<> high grade home- spun canTfts 65 threads per ln< Foul try men Building Extra Range Shelters Wilkes county, one of the leaders of the poultry Industry In North Carolina, Is going In for the building of r.wge shel­ ters in a big way this summer for the development of more vigorous pullets for the laying season next year. James S, Rollins, assistant county agent of the State col­ lege exten^on service, reports that D, C, Whittington, for ex­ ample, already has his pullets on a range of lespedeza and grass, oe Hayes is building five range shelters: ,Will Nichols, six; Bud Nichols, five, and J, H , Shore, four, Tlie average shelter is about 14'! by IS feet In size and houses albout 100 pullets. All of these m en are relatively large growers and are really making a business of poultry, and began using P D B to control blue mold. W h e n he got the majority Qf plants for setting 10 acres from 200 square yards of bed treated for blue mold, he was convinced, “ By combining both weed con­ trol ¿and; blue mold control, I can produce better tobacco plants at half the cost," said Jordan, "and I am planning to cut down m y plant beds from 1,100 square yards to 600 square yariV;thls fall,” Raper-reports that m any Co- luitibiis county farmers success­ fully treated their tobacco beds against blue mold with P D B last spring and that the practice will be m uch more widely followed next, year. Hayes has 2,000 pullets,. Will Nichols has sold $5,000 worth of broilers and has 4,400 more chicks on the way to becoming broilers. B ud Nichols has 2,500 chicks for broilers. Shore reports that he is fur­ nishing his home and chicken houses with water from a hy­ draulic ram that has been in operation for 40 years and that the only repair on the ram has ram has been the replacement of a few washers, O. P. Wall of Ronda is build­ ing a hatchery with a capacity of 28,000 eggs. According to Rollins, Wilkes will now have seven hatcheries with a capacity of 919,752 eggs. In addition to this, a number of poultrymen have small Incubators for their own use, Rollins says that che expert ence of his growers shows that the range shelter, together with a generous supply of grazing crops. Is one of the most Impor­ tant factors In the production of good pullets.

State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RUTH CtRRENT N. C. State College Achieving top quality In home canned products is an art re- ■luirlng as much skill as any of the household arts.' The follow­ ing suggestions will help the homemaker reach top quality In her canned products. 1. Select fruits and vegetables In their best eating stage and grade them carefully for sound­ ness, size and color. 2. Wash all products thor­ oughly, lifting them from the water Instead of pouring oft the water. 3. Have the canning room or kitchen spotlessly clean and In order before food Is brought from the garden. 4. Have aU canning equip­ ment checked, washed thor­ oughly, rinsed and arranged in order of Us use. 5.'' Make syrups before fruits are prepared for the Jar. 0. Have plenty of hot water ready for use in fllllng Jars as needed. 7. Follow manufacturer's di­ rections carefully for various types of closures. These seven points of organi­ zation and selection will help make It possible to reach the goal of "two hours from the garden to the Jar," which means not only better quality, but more food value per Jar. A particular warning is given against oven canning, described as "dangerous • in more ways than one.” Wrap a small square of clean cheesecloth around the tines of a fork and tie securely. Keep the fork In boiling water and use It to clean tops of Jars Just be­ fore fputtlng on the lid. Only pure salt should be used In canning. Shaker salt or salt prepared for table use Is apt to make the liquid look cloudy and milky. BUY WAR BONDS and STAMPS ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE Having qualified as thp Ad­ministrator of Mrs. L. P.

Twenty-one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four acres, in Davie county, once cultivated, no longer produce crops, , W e need to build at least 275 miles of terraces on approxi- mately 41,343 acres to control water and protect the soil in Davie county. W e need to plant soil build­ ing and erosion resisting crops on hundreds of mutilated fields. W e need to improve 23,'224 acres of pasture in Davie county. Fanners and city people too are bscoming increasingly in­ terested in soil con.servation be­ cause they are beginning to un ­ derstand ’the facts that food, über and timber all come from the soil. Only through conser­ vation can our soil be safeguard­ ed and maintained for continued use; most conserving practices are relatively simple. The Middle Yadkin Soil Con­ servation district, supervised in part by J, G , Crawford, will be glad to assist any 'farmer in con­ servation work.

It Is recognized that there are slack seasons during the year when farm workers generally go to Industrial employment. The procedure outlined by the state •war manpower commission will be put in effect in Davle county. This plan is as iollows: 1. Any person, both male or iemale, wanting to go into In­ dustrial work must Secure a signed statement from their ^ndlord to the effect that It Is agreeable for them to leave the larm. 2. Take the statement to the employment representative, who wlll be in the court room every Monday morning at 8 o’clock for a few minutes. 3. The employment office makes out the application and sends It to the county war board for consideration. The war board will then Investigate the case to find out the type of work being done by the applicant, the work needed to be done on the farm, and what is the need of agricul­ tural labor of other farms In the applicant’s neighborhood, as well as other Information which may be of value. 4. If the war board finds that there Is a slack period they have the authority to give a tempor­ ary release, not exceeding six weeks. , 5. If the applicant is between the age of 18 to 37 Inclusive his application will be sent to the local selective service board, which will make Its indorsement, and then mall the application to the employment office., 6. If all of the agencies In­ volved find that it is the bsst In­ terest to the war effort It will then issue a statement of avail­ ability to the applicant. It is recognized that this Is a rather long procedure In order to obtain a work card, but since there Is such a scarcity of farm labor every precaution must be taken to see that this labor Is not further depleted. Since lumber and pulpwood are listed as two of the most critical war materials It Is felt that very few agricultural work­ ers In Davle county will be able to secure a statement of avail­ ability, because most of the farm labor can And a sawmill Job, or some farm owner who wants pulpwood cut. The county agent requests .^ In Hose cemetery, that all persons wanting to-'*W - Into Industrial employment. for a temporary period to please meet the representative from the employment office on Monday mornings to make their appli­ cation, and to refrain from com­ ing direct to the county agent’s office, as the application must start through the employment service. Passes AAA FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR LEGUME AND GRASS SEEDS, DYSON STATES Announcing details of a newly expanded program to encourage the harvesting of legume and grass seeds this year, N. E. Dodd, chief of the agricultural adjust­ ment agency, Washington, warns farmers that there is critical shortage of these seeds. “Our domestic hay and pas­ ture supply and soil conserva­ tion program cannot be main­ tained unless we harvest more seed,” the AAA chief has writ­ ten N. B. Dyson, chairman of the Davie county AAA committee. Recognizing the need for emergency action, congress has provided a special fund of $12,- 500,000 to the Jrlple-A to stim­ ulate harvesting of legume and grass seeds. Under the expand­ ed program; 1. Harvesting seeds from a good stand of certified Abruzzl rye, Italian ryegrass, orchard grass, crimson clover, red clover, alsike clover or vetch, or a mix­ ture of vetch and small grain consisting of nt least 25 per cent by weight of vetch seed becomes an "unlimited practice” in the AAA conservation program which means that cooperating farmers can obtain the regular AAA payment ranging up to i.50 an acre for this practice on any number of acres har­ vested. 2. Additional special pay­ ments will be made by AAA of three and a halt cents a pound on red clover seed (cleaned basis) and two and a half cents a pound on alfalfa and alsike clover seed (cleaned basis) for harvesting of these seed varie­ ties. There will be no restrictions on the total payments which can be earned by a farmer for harvesting legume and grass seed, Dodd explained. In the past, such payments could be earned only up to 25 acres. The AAA also has exempted such payments from the so-called "farm allowance” established by the county committee for each farm. Red clover, alfalfa and alsike clover have been chosen for the special poundage payments be­ cause of their extreme scarcity (Continued on page 8) DAVIE EXCEEDS TOTAL BOND QUOTA BUT FAILS TO MAKE "E” QUOTA A report of July 10 from the Federal Reserve bank shows that Davie exceeded its Fifth War Loan quota by $60,000 but failed by $22,000 to make the “E” bond Quota, it is stated by Knox Johnstone, chairman. “E” bonds sold were $102,185.75 with a quota of $124,000, The total amount of bonds iold dur­ ing the campaign was $224,086.25 with a quota of $164,000.

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. The war went badly for the Nazis on all fronts this week, even Germany’s leading military commentator warn­ ing the German people that Germany is in immediate peril from gigantic attacks by numerically superior Allied forces on three fronts. Hinting that the direction of the Russian ofTensive had caught the German high command by surprise, the com­ mentator implied that Germany would soon be fighting on her own soil against the Russians. HISTORIC RUSSIAN ADVANCE The Russians have surprised the world by their rapid advance which has averaged about a mile an hour for 19 days. They are already within 25 miles of East Prussia and little more than 100 miles from the Baltic seaport of Riga, capital of Latvia. The Germans have suffered tre­ mendous losses In entrapments at Vitebsk, Bobruisk and Minsk and Wilno and Pinsk are practically taken. Ob­ servers estimated that the Germans may have lost 250,000 in killed or captured. i ^ The German radio admits that “the supreme test is at hand.” ADVANCES IN NORMANDY While the Allied advances in Normandy have not been as spectacular as those in Russia, they have nevertheless been highly significant. Caen has been taken and the Americans are ripping through crack German troops on a 40-mile front from the St Lo area to the coast. Rommel has chosen to fight his hardest battles in Nor­ mandy rather than save his reserves and attack when the Allies advance further inland. He has lost the battles, as is indicated by the significant statement of General Mont­ gomery to his troops saying that the German prisoners are now more than 54,000 and that the Germans had been forced to give ground. It marks the end of the flrst phase of the invasion and paves the way for rapid advances when Montgomery secures more elbow room for operations. General Isenhower issued an optimistic statement about the defeat of Germany but he warned that there was much bitter and costly fighting ahead. ADVANCES IN ITALY Allied troops continue a slow and bitterly-contested advance toward the German “Gothic line.” American (Continued on page 4) WHEAT LOANS ARE AVAIUBLE TO DAVIE GROWERS AT $1.60 BUSHEL Loans are available to all wheat growers at $1.60 per bushel for No. 2 Red Winter wheat (for light garlicky the loan value Is 1 cent less and for garlicky 3 cents less) in Davle county, ac­ cording to N. B. Dyson, chairman, Davie county AAA committee. Most wheat grown In this area is of this grade. Premiums ap­ ply to better grades and dis­ counts will be made for lower grades. The large wheat crop produced this year fills a vital need in re­ plenishing the nation’s bread basket and will be needed'dur­ ing the coming year. However, storage space. In some areas, may become filled during the harvest season. If storage space becomes filled In any area there may be a temporary sag in prices in that area, Therefore, wheat growers should give nareful considera­ tion to the loan program. Loans are made on wheat stored In farm storage as well as wheat stored in approved warehouses. Farmers storing their wheat on the farm may earn a storage al­ lowance of seven cents per bushel in addition to the above loan rate. Mr. Dyson further states that a.s a rule farmers who have held their wheat off the market un­ der the loan program during the past several years have .se­ cured better prices for their crop than those who sold at harvest time. Loans on wheat gradhig No. 3 or better stored in approved elevator or acceptable ff^rm storage are available until De­ cember 31, 1944. Full Informa­ tion on the loan program may be obtained from the Davle coun­ ty AAA office. PAGE 2 THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C.)

C., as Second- Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879. That weekend rain came in the nick of time and as Uncle Bob Tomlinson said it was "raining dollars.” Looks like the Russians are going to beat the rest of the Allies to Berlin by a long margin—and that’s some­ thing Hitler and his gang don’t want. Which is one reason you hear more optimism about Oermany quitting. If everybody lived as useful and honorable a life as M. ff. Holthouser, this vale of tears would be a much happier place to l>e. In the past half century we have gained much. In­ ventive geiiius and mass production have enabled us to have more comforts and conveniences with which to en­ joy the necessities of life. The standard of living ihas gone up for practically everybody, and the worker of today enjoys luxuries denied to kings not many years ago. Yes, we have gained much; but, also, we have lost something. We have lost something which cannot be pur­ chased or measured by the coin of this world, and we do not know if it can be recovered. Some of us can rememt>er iWhen those spiritual and Idealistic things which in their sum we called character, constituted a goal towards which men strove. To be a man of Integrity, fidelity, loyalty; to be kind and neighborly meant something. In those days life meant being something, rather than getting some­ thing. Most certainly we have men and women of high character today, but in the large we have a world in which there are many people whose one idea is to get—whose standards of life are all in what one has; what social status one has, how much money one has, how much money one can make. It makes life complex rather than simple, and it passes up the old standards of virtue and usefulness Dreams of success today are in the cities, bright lights, the glamor of Broadway and Hollywood. Marriage vows and honest business dealings do not enter the picture—and real happiness does not enter it either. After all, in the so-called "sticks” the small towns and rural sections are the men and women who think the great thoughts and keep faith with life. Read history, and you will find out What hapens to men and nations when the simple virtues are thrown out to make room for glitter and glamor. What the Russians have accomplished in driving the Oermans out of Russia is one of the monumental achieve­ ments of this war. But what is even more monumental Is the tranformation of the Russian people. For, we must realize that the scientific achievements, the direction of the war, the production of material were in the hands of the Russian people, regardless of the fact that Stalin is the Dictator of Russia. We must remember that practically all of the old Russia was killed off; the alliance of State and Church broken, and the mass of the people had open­ ed to them the opportunity of education. What many people believe, and for which there is much evidence, was ;ftot that Russia abolished religion, and established atheism, fcut that they abolished the forms under which religion masqueraded, and abolished the kind of a God which they had been taught about. However that may be, Hitler tried to secure the sym- pathey and help of, the world against what he called Rus­ sian atheism and Russian Communism. Religion is coming back in Russia, and it promises to be something better than under the old regime. But Hitler was not the only one who called attention to Communistic Russia. There is still another voice, which in the name of Christanlty, lifts itself in warning. That voice, strangely enough, has liad little condemnation of Naziism, save in mild and general terms. It is the same ,voice which attributes this war to the heretical Protestant ¡world, and places Democracy close to Communism in its category of alien forces, We do not wish to stir up religious controversy, but we do believe that Democratic and Pro­ testant peoples should not be blind to or ignorant of the part which tlie hand and voice of Rome are playing in world politics and in world diplomacy. We listened to the Republican National Convention last week, and shortly we expect to tune in on the Demo­ cratic Convention. It will be, we presume much like the pne in Chicago. After listening last week we felt much like the lady who remarked to us sometime ago—"Christ­ ianity must be divine, else its friends would have killed it long ago.” Democracy must be a strong kind of gov­ ernment, else it would never survive its political conven­ tions. THKTSS STRANGE« VÆVffiREJUST. GOlNeiOVISTTYOU FORTHEVÆEKÔÜ/ GIVES ADVICE ON PARALYSIS With the number of cases and deaths from infantile paralysis soaring higher each day In North Carolina, district health of­ ficials again stressed the impor­ tance of keeping calm. Al­ though no cases of the disease have yet been reported from Stokes or Davie counties, two cases have appeared from For­ syth county and one from Yad­ kin. If new cases occur, the advice of the district health de­ partment is; “Don’t become hys­ terical. Although this Is a frightful disease, needless fear and panic only cause more trouljle.” Officials stated the time inter­ val between exposure to Infan tile paralysis and the onset of symptoms varies between three and 14 days, with the most com­ mon time being seven days. Symptoms, ofTicials added, in­ clude: Fever, oftentimes with nausea and vomiting; drowsi­ ness; Irritability; stifTness of the neck and occasionally pain and tenderness of the extremities. Health authorities, when ques­ tioned on preventive measures, referred to suggestions con­ tained in a bulletin from the National Foundation tor Infan­ tile Paralysis, This bulletin ad­ vised compliance with the fol­ lowing precautions: 1. Avoid overtiring and ex­ treme fatigue from strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid sudden chilling, such as would come from a plunge Into extremely cold water ^on a very hot day. 3, Pay careful attention to personal cleanliness, such as a thorough hand washing before eating. 4. If possible, avoid tonsil and adenoid operations during epi­ demics. Careful .study has shown that such operations, when per­ formed during an epidemic, tend to Increase the danger of con­ tracting infantile paralysis. 5. Use the purest milk and water you can. Keep flies away from food. Contaminated water and milk are always dangerous and flies have repeatedly been shown to carry the infantile paralysis virus. 6, Do not swim in polluted water. 7, Maintain community sani­ tation at a‘ high level at all times. 8. Avoid all unnecessary con­ tact with persons with any ill­ ness suspicious of Infantile pa­ ralysis. IN SERVICE Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Milholen now have five members of their family serving In the II. S. forces including three sons, Oeorge, Eu­ gene and H. L., Jr., and two sons-ln-law, C. B. Hoover, Jr., and Clarence Bailey. H. L. Is now taking his boot training at Camp Perry, Va.

A JOKE A DAY Wlfllebotham: "Young man, have you the firmness of char­ acter that enables a person to go jn and do his duty In the face of ingratitude, criticism and heart­ less ridicule?” Jones: “I ought to have, sir. I cooked for a fishing party two full weeks.” Two Oeorgla darkeys were discussing the financial condi­ tion of the country. They didn’t agree. “You’s all wrong,” one vocif- arated. "Dey ain’t no money sho’tage. Ah asked my bankah ts he out o’ money and he tuk me in de vault an’ showed me piles an’ piles o’ money. And Ah says could he let me have a little. And he says he sho’ could. Has Ah any collat’rul? Ah haln’t. Now, dat’s what the mattuh wid this country. Dey’s plenty o’ money, but we’s just runnln’ sho’t on collat’rul.” Many men are worried be­ cause they think the world is going to the dogs. If the dogs thought this, they’d be worried, too. One robin doesn’t make a spring, but one lark is often re­ sponsible for a fall. “Our order called for 1800 R. P. M. motors Stop Your ship­ ping notice shows that 1750 R, P. M. were shipped Stop When will other 50 R. P. M.’s be shipped?” "Where you been, Bill?” “In a telephone booth, talk­ ing to my girl.” “Didn’t take you long this time.” "No, drat It. Somebody wanted to use the telephone, and we had to get out.” Out of Work The Irish foreman found one of his men sleeping in the shade: “Sleep on, you lazy loot,” he said, “sleep on. So long as you sleep, you have a job; but when you wake up, you’re out of work.” PercenUces At a lumber camp, 100 men and two women cooks were em­ ployed. “When you make your report,” said the owner to the foreman in charge, "don’t use a lot of language. Just put down in figures what has been done dur­ ing the month.” When the report came it read: "Last month 1 per cent of the men married 50 per cent of the women.” and Who’d a Thoufht o( That “Grade, why are you Fred studying French?” "We’ve adopted a French baby and we want to be able to un­ derstand it when it starts talk­ ing.” Teacher: "Why was Solomon the wisest of men in the world?” Boy: “He had so many wives to advise him.” Teacher (a strong minded woman); “Well, that Is not the answer In the book, but you may go up to the head of the class.” Dog Sausage Restaurant Owner (to waiter) ; "Higgins, why did that man from table six leave so suddenly?” Walter; “Well, sir, lie sat down and asked for sausage, and I told him we were out of them, but that if he would wait a few minutes I’d get the cook to make some.” Owner: "Well, what then?” Waiter: “I went to the kitchen and stepped on the dog’s tall by mistake, and of course it yelped. And ^suddenly the man got up and left.” MORE ABOUT W A R N E W S troops are flighting in the valley of the Era river and are about ten miles from Leghorn. SAIPAN IS TAKEN Saipan, the administrative seat of the Marianas which was bitterly defended by the Japs, fell to our troops last Saturday. It was the most costly prize yet seized from tlie Japs. Guam, 111 miles south of Saipan, is now being shell­ ed and it may be the next move by U. S. troops. UNDERSTANDING WITH DE GAULLE President Roosevelt announced Tuesday, after a visilf to Washington by Oen. Charles de Gaulle, that an imder- standing had been reached with the French leader whereby De Gaulle’s committee at Algiers will be the working au­ thority for civil administration of metropolitan France. De Gaulle said he would move his headquarters from Al­ giers to France just as soon as it was feasible. MORE CIVILIAN GOODS Donald Nelson has won his fight with the army and navy over civilian production. Plants of companies which have labor and machinery not needed in the war efTort will begin manufacture of civilian goods hitherto prohibited or restricted. The beginning dates are staggiered to August 15. BLACK ¡MARKETEERS SENT TO JAIL In the first five months of 1944, the Ofltlce of Price Administration enforcement program against the ga.gfiHn>» black market sent 28 car owners to Jail; convicted 159 car owners of buying gasoline with counterfeit or stolen cou pons or without coupons, took away rations from 755 car owners, suspended gasoline selling rights, of 1,538 ftiHng stations, put 156 filling stations out of business and gave jail sentences to 236 counterfeiters, peddlers smd gftaniino dealers. , FORMER FARMER SAVES DAY A formers Illinois fanner, a sergeant, solved a trans­ portation problem for his Marine buddies on Siapan, the Navy Department reports. It was impossible to haul much- needed ammunition up the rugged, steep hills by truck and carry the wounded back. As the sergeant siiggested, a detail of Marines, who as civilians b M handled livestock, were sent out to catch stray oxen. Within two hours they had a regular service into the hills using hand made native two-wheel carts drawn by the oxen. “The only trouble so far has been the oxen don’t understand our language,” the sergeant said. “I’ll bet they only understand those pesky Nips.” FREE MATERNITY AND INFANT CARE Service men’s wives eligible for emergency maternity care are urged to apply at the begirming' of pregnacy so that their health an^ that of the child can tie better safe­ guarded, Katherine F. Lenroot, chief of the Children’s Bureau, Department of Labor, says. Medical, nursing and hospital care for the service man’s wife are provided dur­ ing pregnancy, childbirth, and for six months after child­ birth, and for the infant throughout Its first year, all with­ out cost to the service man or his family. Application blanks for this care may be obtained from a physician, the local Red Cross or local health departments. FERTILIZER RESTRICTIONS EASED Farmers may fertilize their general crops with as many pounds of fertilizer as recommended by the “appropriate State experiment station” or at the rate customarily used in the area, whichever is greater, the War Food Admini­ stration says. WFA has eliminated restrictions on acquisi­ tion and use of organic nitrogenous fertilizer material such as tankage, fish scrap, bonemeal, processed manure, peat and,humus. Restrictions remain on edible oil-seed meals. FOR VETS—16,000 HOSPITAL BEDS Sixteen thousand additional veterans’ hospital beds in buildings to be constructed In twenty states have been recommended by the Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs. Under this largest building program ever requested by the Veterans’ Administration, the new beds would be located In hospitals in New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Deleware, Virginia, Florida, Michigan, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missi- issippi or Alabama, Kansas or Missouri, Montana or North Dakota, Colorado, California, Texas, Washington. New York, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois. Addition of these beds would bring the total of 121,000 availalbe to veterans. ROUNDUP' Under new OPA instructions, the amount and type of gasoline issued to individuals after June 30 are now available to the public or newspapers upon inquiry to local rationing boards . . . OPA has removed new inner tubes from rationing, thus helping conserve tires, inasmuch as good tubes properly Inflated prolong tire life ... Producers, carriers and handlers of farm products have been authoriz­ ed and urged to form committees to assist Office of De­ fense Transportation district managers in putting to full use all motortrucks available for transporting farm pro­ ducts, ODT says.

How can 1 save time In growing sweet potatoes? A. Two men with a tractor did as much work as 16 men In getting ready for' a sweet po­ tato crop on the farm of G. W. Wright of Beaufort, reports County Agent R. M. Williams. Formerly the land was broken, rows marked, land opened with a plow, fertilizer drilled, and the land rebedded. This was eight operations for one man, or one operation for each of eight men. Now Wright connects his tractor to the fertilizer distrlbutor- planter combination, and re­ moves the chain so as to throw the planter out of gear. In one operation he opens the land, dis­ tributes the fertilizer, and beds the land ready for planting. Since the tractor runs twice as fast as a man walks, Wright figures the operation equivalent to the work of 16 men by the old method. BUYING FARMS Before buying a farm, it will be good to remember •what hap­ pened to many growers when their mortgages were fore closed after the last war, say the farm economists. Back the attack. Buy Bonds. Q. How can I, a cotton glnner, get the Smith-Doxey classing service on cotton for my gin and my farmer customers? A. Any ginner Interested In having this service for his gin customers and his gin should Immediately contact his county agent, says J. A. Shanklln, cot­ ton, marketing specialist at State college. A glnner to be eligible for this service must be listed, and all applications must be sent In by August 1. Applica­ tion blanks will be found at the oflice ot the county agent. Q. I have yellow streaks In my alfalfa field. How could you account for these streaks? A. Dr. Emerson Collins, in charge of agronomy extension at State college, examined this field and gave the following re­ port. The farmer had used 00 bags of hydrated (quickly avail­ able) lime on four acres and the spreader had overlapped In mak­ ing the rounds. This gave an extra heavy application of. the quickly available lime and re­ sulted in a forced potash de­ ficiency. Dr. Collins suggested extra potash on the yelowlng In Mississippi » v r r Pvt. Robert E. Beck, son of Mn. Mary E. Beck, ot Route 2, entered service on April 27, 1944. He is now stationed at Camp Shelby, Miss. His wife, the former Miss Louise Brink­ ley, lives on Route 2. streaks, “This field shows the' objection of using quickly avail­ able lime, rather than delomtlc limestone, unless proper ' pre­ cautions are taken In spreading it,” Collins said. _____________________________ .( LAYERS There were 414 million layers on U.

Masonic pic­ nic shoxild not be held while there is any danger from in­ fantile paralysis. But we think it should be held when all danger is past and not cancelled. Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, head of the state health depart­ ment, has made the suggestion in a letter to Knox John­ stone, general picnic chairman, that the event be held in September when there is no danger. Dr. C. P. Stevick, epi­ demiologist with the state health department, states that the peak will be reached this month and shoiild decrease in August but it is unlikely that all danger will be over by .regular picnic time. * We see no reason why the picnic should not be a suc­ cess in September and a substantial sum be cleared for the Oxford Orphanage. Arrangements for the later date can be made without difficulty and the weather, for instance, might be more ideal than it has been this week. There has been some suggestion that the picnic be cancelled and donations for the Orphanage be solicited In stead. We do not think this method, worthy as it is. would bring In anything like the money for the Orphanage that a picnic would. Many people come to the picnic from other counties and they naturally would not be reached for do­ nations. Again, many people in the county would readily spend their money at the picnic who would not become donors unless there was «n intensive solicitation campaign on a county-wide basis which, with all the other war drives, would not, in our opinion, be very successful. It is our suggestion that our fellow Masons decide to hold the picnic and leave the date open until the health authorities agree there is no danger from polio. We rather like the idea anyhow of holding the picnic nearer “fair time.” The days are hot enough to sell soda pop and the evenings cool enough for the kids and grownups to enjoy .the merry-go-round.

CHILDREN UNDER 15 BANNED FROM PUBLIC PLACES WHILE POLIO EXISTS POSTPONE HOMECOMING Due to the polio epidemic, the homecoming at Oak Grove Methodist church scheduled for July 23, has been indefinitely postponed. At a special meeting of the Davie county board of healUi, held on Monday afternoon, JMly 17, with all members of the board present, an order was Is­ sued placing a ban on all gath- erlng§ of children 15 years of age and under, for the duration of the polio epidemic. While no cases of polio have been reported from Davie county at the time of the meeting of the board, it was felt that the nearness of the heavily infected districts and the apparent con­ tinued spread of the dread dis­ ease, made it necessary that every precaution be taken to pre- ^vent, if possible, the spread into "Davie county. The medical members of the board were unanimous In the belief that congregating ol children in crowds at theatres, parks, play­ grounds, and public gatherings of all kinds, was especially dan­ gerous at this time. The order of .the board for­ bids children 15 years of age and under to gather at theatres, parks, playgrounds, all places of amusement, and all public places and gatherings. Parents are .ur­ gently requested to keep all chil­ dren at home in an effort to pro­ tect them from the dreaded in­ fection. Owners and operators and sponfsors of places of amuse­ ment and public gathering places are urged to cooperate fully in carrying out the order of the board of health. It was pointed out in the meeting that while children of younger ages are most likely to (Contlnned on psge I) BUYS FARM G. O. Graves has bought two portions 0f the Hartley farm on the Yadkin river.

Pink holding the service. Interment was in the church cemetery. Members of the American Legion Post of Mocksville served as pallbearers. Polio Will Reach Peak This Month Ralelgh-The belief that .the current outbreak of infantile paralysis would reach its peak this month and show a marked declhie In August was expressed by Dr. C. P. Stevick, epidemi­ ologist with the state health department., The number of cases since June 1 totals 336. The outbreak is centered largely In the Pied­ mont and upper Piedmont areas. Dr. Stevick recalled that in the 1935 epidemic 675 cases were reported, most of them during the months of June, July and August. The peak month was July, and the outbreak was well on the way to complete control in mid-August. SELLS ICE PLANT J. E.

He taught mathe-; matlcs, science and physical education here last year. Storm Damages Tobacco Crop A wind and hall storm which struck the western part ot the county Monday night, luly 17, did extensive damage to the tobacco crop In that area. ' The county agent, George Hob­ son, made a survey of the ter­ ritory west ot the Yadklnvllle highway and north of the Statesville highway, and eati- mates that the damage will be at least 140,000. The strong wind, accom­ panied by hall, broke oH numy stalks ot tobacco, and tearing the leaves on other plants. Since tobacco had made such rapid, growth in the last two weeks It was very tender. Plants that were about knee- high seem to have suffered the greatest loss. The heav­ iest damage was through thè Sheffield and West Clarksville area. Cotton and corn did not seem to be damaged very much. School Opening Set for Aug. 28 Opening date for the county schools has been set at Au­ gust 38 by the county board ot education, subject to polio conditions at that time.

Each week The Enterprise summariies the war news, both abroad and a< home, w that readers тшу get a quick, bird’s eye viev» of important happenings. This week’s war news show decided gains of the Allies on three fronts, Americails in Italy have captured Leg­ horn while the Poles took Ancona on the opposite side of the peninsula. Montgomery’s tank forces have broken into open country southeast of Caen and Americans took St. Lo. Six Russian armies have poured through holes in Qer* many’s eastern front, threatening Brest, Lltovsk and Lwow in Poland and Kaunas in Llthtiania. FIGHTING IN FRANCE It appears that the offensive in France is begint^ng to develop, British and Canadian troops have crossed the Orne river and tanks are now engaged in the heaviest bat­ tle of. the war on the western front. General Montgomery said the Nazis had suffered 156,000 casualties since the in­ vasion began. The Allies in France have been handicapped by ter­ rain which is wooded, has many hedge rows and cross country roads which prevented the’ use of tanks. Now they are in the open and only 110 miles from Paris, Bad weather has prevented the use'of the air ^force. Only, this week were they able to hurl 2,200 planes with 8,000 tons of bombs on the Nazis to aid the British Second Army to break out southeast of Caen. Meanwhile the American troops seized St. Lo, central bastion of the enemy line which has been hotly contested. RUSSIANS ADVANCE The Russians continue their spectacular advance in the east. The front has been extended to 550 miles. Rus­ sian troops are within nine miles of Brest Vitovsk in a piish that is only 100 miles from Warsaw and they are also nfear Lwow, one of the biggest rail terminals in Europe. Some units are practically on the Bug river frontier from which the Germans attacked the Soviet Union. v One captured German general is quoted by Moscow as saying that Hitler ordered ground to be held instead of retreating and that disagreement of the generals about strategy was costing a great toll of lives and prisoners, LEGHORN IS TAKEN General Clark’s Fifth army has taken Leghorn, the busiest port between Rome and Genoa. The Germans did a thorough job of demolition before they left. Pisa, west­ ern anchor of the next Oerman defense line, is only a few miles away. JAPS SHAKE UP CDIVIMAND The Japs are explaining the loss of Saipan by an­ nouncing some changes, Tojo has been relieved as army chief of staff and a new naval minister has been appointed. Despite the shake-up most observers think Tojo is still top man. CLASSIFICATION FORMS Saturday, July 15 was the last day operators of eating and refreshment establishments had to file their classifica­ tion forms with the local War Price and Rationing Board. Those who did not file are in violation of the regulation, local board members said. The new regulation which sets a maximum ceiling price on all beers and ales became effective July 10. Under the regulation, sellers are divided into three groups, IB, 2B and 3B. Tlie class under which an establishment operates is determined by legal ceiling prices charged during the base period, April 4-10, 1943. A check of the forms already filed by sellers show that a great majority come under the 3B classification. The maximum price may be charged by this group is 18 cents for listed premium beers and ales and 13 cents for all others. These prices include the North Carolina sales tax.

Blackwelder, owner of Blackwelder's Fur­niture Company, presented each with bonds, ranglng from $l.'iO to per person. From left to right are Mr. Blackwelder, Mrs. Gladys Elliott. Robert McKargiie, Ralph and Clarence Blackwelder; sitting, Mrs. Norris Blackwelder, Johnny Klackwelder, Miss Elizabeth Scott and Mrs. Harold Collins. One employe, Charles A McAbee, was unable to be present. Always responsive when an appeal is made for civic improvements, Mr. Blackwelder .and his entire organization have been very active in the support of the bond drives made by the government to finance 4his ter­ rible global war. Recerttly Mr. Blackwelder broke his own record in bond buying, when he not only purchased his usual quota for himself and family, but purchásed and presented them to his employees as a token of appreciation, not only for their loyal support to his store but for their patriotic purchasing of war bonds as individuals and aiding in making a success of the present Victory bond campaign. Always ready to serve his customers with-the best that can be had, Mr. Blackwelder has been instrumental in helping to establish hundreds and hunderds of happy homes in Iredell county, furnishing many of them from front door to back, with “quality furniture for less money.” In the interest of such homes that they hope to aid in furnishing in the futive, Blackwelder’s are earnestly asking that potential buyers invest their money in bonds today and some time then, when peace is won, cash those bonds, and buy with confidence from B L A C K W E L D E R ’S.' Even in these days of curtailment Blackwelder’s continue to offer the finest selection of home furnishings within a radius of 40 miles, and con­ sistently continues the established policy of L O W PRICES for depend­ able merchandise.

Publlaher SUBSCRIPTION RATES: 92.00 Per Year inside ot Davie County—12.50 Per Year Outside of Davie Coimty. Strictly Payable in Advance. ■ntered at the Post Office at Moeksvllle, N. C., as Second Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879. Looks like the women of the county are getting hot un­ der the collar about the lack of cooperation from the dis­ trict health department with reference to local sanitation. Some have felt for a long time that Davie would fare bet­ ter if the county were aligned with the Rowan health de­ partment Instead of Forsyth. Some women have expressed to us their just indlgna- llon ot small children being allowed to visit in other sec­ tions where there áre cases of infantile paralysis. By the grace of Ood Davie has escaped thus far. Now, if ever, is the time to be very, very careful about letting children congregate. Last Monday night was one time when crop insurance <would have paid the tobacco farmers in the Sheffield and West Clarksville sections. We hope they had it. A JOKE A DAY Doctor (to the man with fraz­ zled nerves): “The thing for you to do, Is to stop thinking about yourself—to bury yourself in your work.” Patient: “Oosh. And me a con­ crete mixer.” Too Long Elephant (demanding); 'What’s the row over there?” Zebra (explaining): “The mon key has Just given the giraffe a shave and a haircut. The giraffe Inslsts.on having his neck shaved for nothing, and the monkey won't stand tor it.” It is a bit late for comment and evaluation of the Republican National Convention, but it happens to be one pf those things which will vitally effect American thought and life, and is, of course, open td pommendatlon or criti­ cism. It was pleasing to the Republican party, and not so pleasing to the opposition, though through perusal of Democratic editorials^ and columnists we find some glee In ^he ammunition furnished for the coming campaign. That Mr. Dewey has grown in stature since 1940 was evident in his speech to the convention. It was highly pleasing to the assembled delegates, and generally, to the entire Republican party. For the Republicans it was an almost perfect speech, as it expressed-the Republican at­ titude, principles, and policies. All in all, it was a pretty good .convention. While speakers lambasted the Democrats, there was more re­ straint than usual, and Dewey’s clear statement In regard to the prosecution of the war won approval everywhere. Hie.one sour note,' according to our way of thinking, was the speech of Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce— the glamour girl of the Republican party. Her wisecracks, sarcasm, and petty jibes spoiled a speech which might have been brill­ iant. The lady’s beauty and brilliant mind were not sufr flcient to offset thé manifest attempts to show off both. Her attempts to blame Roosevelt for the war, and plajrlng iq>on the sympathies of American mothers to hold him Ksponsible, made an unfavorable impression almost every- .where. It was unfair, unkind, and uncalled for. Of course it is in the middle of a terrible «rar, and maybe nothing can be done about it, but between bombs we want to register a protest and a hope. The musiQ which has been made for the past several years does not. In our estimation, reflect the taste and character of a people Who take themselves seriously along cultural lines. The moans and groans, the slow-motion moonings which come over the radio could never have been referred to as music A generation ago. 'Not that we profess to be a musician, but if what experts have told us in music, then this stuff Which poisons our ears nowadays must be something else, and t he creators of it should offer a prize for a name better suited to it. The music clubs of America have a distinct job ahead of them. Hitler’s speech to a group of workers one day last week, presents a far distant picture from that of the man Who went swaggering along with a mighty army which marched through Poland, 'Holland, and other conquered countries. They were stepping high, mocking, sneering, boasting, destroying. Today Hitler is sobered, and he tells the Germans that only by greater sacrifices can they avoid being destroyed. Fancy Hitler, who four .years ago was boasting of controlling the world, now talking about a desperate fight to survive—but those are facts, and none knows it better than Hitler. His days are numbered. MEXICO "We have many common agri­ cultural problems and a deep mutual Inlterest in developing complementary types of agricul­ ture,” said Secretary of AgH- cuiture Claude R. Wlckard at Mexico City on July 4. Colonel Van Leer has become bead of Oa. Tech. Bring any football players down with him? CORN Farmers throughout the coun­ try are urged by the War Food Administration to use more nitro­ gen fertilizer on corn and for­ age crops to Increase yields of feed for livestock. Maybe If political platforms were constructed o i this new glass material Instead of planks you could see through ’em more easily. Davie Boy Was In Invasion Aboard Ship- Somewhere In the Atlantic July 0, 1944. Dear Folks: Many great things have hap­ pened since 1 last saw you, the greatest.I suppose being the In­ vasion of France. \ About all I can say about it is that 1 was there aboard an LST. No doubt all of you have read about the great job the LST’s did In the Invasion and being one of the many present aboard one, we are very proud of our ship and have all of the reasons In the world to be. I regret It Is Impassible to tell you more about'It but I am sure you understa;nd the many reasons why. Anyway the Invasion was a success and that’s a big word In Itself. I am proud to say that I won’t have p^ple looking down on me for not doing my bit in this war. When I hear of so many fellows who are much younger than I making every effort In the world to stay out of service, I some­ times wonder If they have any respect for themselves, let alone their country, If they could only see some of the things we go through with out here. I’m quite sure they would have more self respect than to exhaust Put your idle dollars In War themselves trying to stay out of Bonds! service. What the future holds nat­ urally is a secret as far as I am concerned but I do hope that not too far In the future we will be seeing the end of this war and with the advancement . on all fronts It cannot last too much longer, I haven’t been able to go ashore too much In England, due to operations, but X have visited a few places and some parts of England are ideally beautiful. However, it Is nothing compared to the good old U. S. A. I sincerely hope to see you all in the near future. Woodrow Wilson, Pharmacist, 1st Class.

For nearly an hour a commercial traveler had been talking In his most per­ suasive manner to an old York­ shire busnless man. The old fel­ low seemed pleased and convin­ ced, and the traveler felt sure a big order would follow. At last the Yorkshlreman said: "Aa’d like my lad to hear what ye have to say. Will ye coom In the afternoon and go over your talk again?” "Certainly, sir,” replied the traveler; and at the hour ap­ pointed he presented himself for the Interview with father and son. Once again he went over the points of the article he had for sale, and when he had finished the old Yorkshlreman, turning to his son, said, enthulastically: “Do you hear that, my lad? Well, that’s the way I want ye to sell our goods on the road.” Held Down Officer: "The detectives got the woman’s fingerprints from her husband.” Second Ditto; "How could they do that?” Officer: “Easy, she’d kept him under her thumb for yMts.” One Answer First little Olrl; What's your last name, Annie?” Second little Olrl; “Don’t know yet; I ain’t married.” MORE ABOUT W A R N E W S • 'Ifer, filled in and signed jointly by both buyer and seller,^ must be turned in by the purchaser to the local board on or before the date he applies for gasoline for the car.

One of the pris­ oners enjoyed 30 minutes of par­ tial freedom, and the other was brought back In an hour and a half. Both were run down with blood hounds. Officials of the camp said that the young men made their way past the gate keeper by donning clothes slipped from honor pris­ oners inside the stockade, but their ruse was discovered before they could get away. Junior Key is serving 5 to 7 years for larceny, and flomer Smith Is serving 5 years for rob­ bery.

With the advent of summer­ time, the spotlight of health ahifts to place emphasis on san­ itation and cleanliness of the .environment. Many diseases, the so-called “summertime” diseases include: typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, ’Cholera, dysentry and hook­ worm disease. To combat these Infections, one must be doubly sure that all «anltary facilities are adequate —water supply, sewage disposal, Carbage and refuse disposal. In -addition, rat and insect control come into play. Not only must community san itation be carefully guarded and l>rought to its highest degree of efficiency, but household and personal sanitation must also be safeguarded. Personal sanitation envelops the cleanliness of the body washing the hands, bathing the tody and general personal hy -*lene. Too often typhoid fever Is .tpread because a person did not WAdi his hands after visiting the loUet, then passed the germ on to another susceptible person Oommon towels and drinking «JflMes" have been responsible for Ube spread of many intestinal dlaeaaes also. Household sanitation is almost intertwined with community nnitatlon, for the sanitary con- -dltons of one house either di> -netly or Indirectly affect the san­ itation of the entire community. If garbage is left uncovered, flies ««ther. It is well known that flies «an transmit diseases, and re- ■oently it was proven that flies are capable of carrying the virus of infantile paralysis. Roaches and rats congregate Missing SOT. OEORGE F. MESSICK Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Messlck of Akron, Ohio,, have received a message from the war de­ partment that their only son, Sgt. George F. Messlck, Is miss­ ing in action. He completed the flexible aerial gunnery school at Laredo, Texas, last January and received his aerial wings and assumed an Impor­ tant position as a member of the army air forces combat crew. He entered the service March 11, IMS, and was sent to Italy several months ago. He graduated from the Coolee­ mee High siDhool with the elass of ’41 and was employed with the Erwin mills. A short time before entering service he went with his father to Akron, Ohio, where they worked'In a defense plant. The message was received by his parents July 14. food or garbage Is left uncovered. Mud puddles become' favorite breeding places for malaria for mosquitoes. An unsafe water sup­ ply can be the focal point ior an epidemic of typhoid, paraty- wherever phoid, cholera or dysentry. MOREABOITT Polio be attacked, adults are not en­ tirely immune, and attention was called to cases of people well Into middle life. While the ban was not extended to adults, the board feels that every precau­ tion should be taken in avoiding crowds or travel Into epidemic areas. While It is hoped that the epi­ demic will run its course with­ in the next few weeks, the board ordered the ban to remain in ef­ fect until the epidemic subsides and the situation Improves. The full text o^ .the order Is as follows: “Whereas ,thc epidemic stage of polio in nearby and neigh boring areas makes it extremely dangerous for children to be ex posed to crowds in public, places and gatherings; and Whereas, there is a great un­ certainty as to how the disease is spread and treated; and "Whereas, there is an emer gency war shortage of doctors in Davie county; therefore "Be it resolved, that the Davie county board of health, in a spe­ cial meeting of'the board with all members present, after a full discussion of the situation and in view of the critical conditions existing in nearby areas; does hereby order that all children of Davie county .fifteen (16) years of age or younger, not be allowed to attend theatres, parks, playgrounds, places of amuse­ ment, and all public places and gatherings until such time as the epidemic improves and the ban can be lifted. “Be it resolved that all'owners and operators and sponsors of places where children gather be urged to cooperate fully in the public welfare. “Be It resolved that all par- CONSERVATION By O. W. McCLELLAN Herman Boger, near Redland, has several cows on his newly bought farm, with very little pas­ ture. In making a plah with the Middle Yadkin District, , he de­ cided to sow sudan grass and soybeans for supplementary graz­ ing. During the recent dry spell he began grazing the sudan grass, and in 36 hours time, he gained an extra five gallon can of milk from the same cows. He has been selling 15 gallons of milk daily. He says he never expects to be without supplementary grazing. Such practices are profitable to any farmer. Cleo Tutterow, Foster Brothers, Luther Walker, W. P. Ferebee, and Bill Smoot, west of Mocks- ville, have an outstanding crop of sweet clover to harvest. More of this crop should be sown for soil improvement, grazing, hay, or seed. It \vlll ,out shine any other biennial legume in improv­ ing poor land. For detailed hi- formatlon In getting this crop started successfully, see George Hobson, County Agent, or the writer.

This establishment is in line with the county’s drive to pro­ duce and can more food for vic­ tory. The delay In opening the cannery has been due to the dif­ ficulties involved In securing workers to complete the build ing and Install the equipment. Mr. Davis has been working on this project for sometime and much of thè credit for its estab­ lishment goes to him. He planned the building and it was under his supervision that the old Holman school was torn down and moved to Mocksville by the boys in his agricultural class to be used for the new can­ nery.

The overall quota was $164,000 and the total sold was $2SS,647. . NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By O. W. McCLELLAN Harvey Blackwelder, near Chestnut Stump church, values improving and holding his soil highly. He recently harvested 1S6 bushels of wheat from 4.acres, this being an average of 44 bushels per acre. The first year he farmed his farm, he only made 44 bushels from about acres. This is proof of the value of- conserving and improving soil, W. C. Parks, near Sheffield has a hilly farm he is practicing strip croping on. He says he is going to do more of It as he finds it pays. An effort is beli^g made to get more people to sow and acre or more of alfalfa. It is the KINO of all hay crops, and is well adapted to the heavy soils of Davle county. Among those planning to sow one to eight acres of alfalfa this fall are: B. S. Neely, near Cana, Robert Lee Seaford, near Fork churoh, Joe Smith, near Fork Church, Terry Rice Burton, Man­ ager of the W. H, Woodson’s farm. E. C. Tatum, manager oi the Erwin Mills iarms, has grown al- ialia prolltably for several years, and Is highly pleased. Alfalfa land treatment and seeding- will- cost at least $30.00 per acre, but the first cutting usually more than pays tor this cost. We need more alfalfa, seri- cea lespedeza, and grass mixtures for hay. This will allow more other legumes to be turned un­ der which is so badly needed to hold and improve our soil. County Nutrition Program Discussed Members of the Davle county nutrition committee met In the Princess theatre Wednesday morning to discuss a proposed county nutrition program for the sohool year. . The motion picture, “This Too Is Sabotage,” was shown to the members present, According to Mrs, Leslie Daniel, chairman of the committee, this film will be sponsored by the nutrition com­ mittee In the near future, both in Cooleemee and Mocksville, Members of the committee present included Mrs, Leslie Daniel, chali’man, Mrs, Rachel Stroud, Miss Florence Mackle, Miss Ruth Wagner, Mrs. Mar­ garet Green, Miss Annie An­ thony and Mrs. Arthur Daniel. In addition, the two health edu­ cators from the Davie county health department, Mrs. Jo Ann Lewis and Miss Wilma Dean Henry, wei-e present.

O P A Forms for “ Guaranteed” Used Cars Not Here Yet Printed forms which car lot owners without repair service fa­ cilities are required to fill out before they, .can sell “guaran­ teed” cars have not yet arrived In the war price and rationing board offices, but are expected from Charlotte this week, ra­ tioning officials said yesterday. The two necessary forms which must be forwarded to Charlotte ior approval include one requesting the right to sell “guaranteed” cars together with a written agreement from some reputable Arm to do the repair work and a financial statement from the bank. Dealers not hav­ ing a repair department con­ nected with their business can sell "g;uaranteed” cars only after approval from Charlotte has been received. The recently-imposed ceilings provide for two classifications. Dealers with their own repair facilities are allowed to make a 25 per cent profit on “guaran­ teed” cars—those which have been repaired and renovated. Dealers without such facilities can sell only “as is” or exactly according to the ceiling prices unless consent from the district office allows them to contract for repair work i^lth a reputable firm. The 25 per cent Increase in price allowed dealers In "guar­ anteed” used cars Is not to be Interpreted as profit, rationing board officials explained, but Is designed to cover the cost of re­ pairing the car and putting Into sliape for re^le. WHEAT The War Food Administration has announced higher loans on V7heat for the present crop, an Increase of 7 cents a bushel. CANNING About 700,000 full-time woric- ers must be recruited for the can­ ning of millions ot tons of fruits and vegetables this summer. This has been a week of sensational war developments. What amounts to civil war has broken out in Germany in a struggle between the Nazis and the former military leaders. The whole Jap cabinet has been reorganized. The Russians are nearing Warsaw, encircling or wiping out whole Ger­ man armies. Churchill say sthe war with Germany may end sooner than hoped for and our Secretary of War Stim- son, back from a visit to the Italian and French fronts, warns against an early, easy victory. Allied armies in France have begun the greatest offensive of the war. PROGRESS OF THE RUSSIANS The progress of the Russians has surprised everybody. With seven great armies operating on a 800-mile front, Red forces have reached the Vistula river where they threaten to outflank Warsaw on the south. .The Germans face .a smash due west across the Vistula, the last big waterway guarding the. German fatherland 150 miles away. Red armies have also broken into Lwow, Poland’s third largest city, fought into the outskirts of encircled Bialystok, cut the last Nazi escape railroad between Riga and Daugavpils in Latvia and have thrown nooses around Berts Litovsk and Stanislawow. One of the explanations of the rapid advance of the Russians is the use of Cossack cavalrymen on the Polish plains. PURGE IN GERMANY Another purge is on by Hitler, this time against Ger­ man military leaders who disagree with his conduct of the war. Hitler is attempting to place all power in Germany within the Nazi party, following what he said was a plot by German officers to kill him "with a bomb. He has ordered mobilization of all resources in Germany and the occupied countries, placing Goering in charge and with Goebbels to assist him. The revolt by German military leaders means another phase in the approaching defeat of Germany has been reached. "The individual German will be reduced to the barest necessities of life in the new Hitler order, there will be much killing of opposition leaders and fighting among the Germans! 'When the time comes that the people fear the gestapo less than they do the enemies they are flghting, the end will have been reached. ^ Observers of the German situation point out, however, that there is not yét any sign of weakening of the morale of the German armies; that there must continue to be bit­ ter and bloody flghting as is now going in France and Italy. JAP CABINET RESIGNS To jo and his cabinet resigned in a move to tighten the total war effort. The premiership is now split between two successors. < The move does not mean, however, that Tojo is out of thé saddle. It only means that the Japs are making renewed efforts to combat the war losses which they have i*ecently suffered and others which are anticipated. Following the capture of Saipan, American forces haVe attacked Guam and Tinian islands where the casualties were reported light and good progi’ess is being made. Gen­ eral MacArthur hinted that aerial paralyzation of thé southern Philippines is not far off.

Publisher SUBSCRIPTION RATES: f2 .00 Per Year Inside of Davie County—$2.50 Per Year Outside of Davie County. Strictly Payable in Advance. Bntered at the Post Office at Mocksville, N. C., as Second- Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1870. Looks like the schools of Davie are the hardest hit by resignations they have ever been. At last report all but two ol the faculty of the Mocksville High school had resigned; Cooleemee had four resignations; O. T. Toliver, newly- elected principal at Advance, had also resigned. While no- ibody can blame underpaid' school teachers for getting any promotions they can, this county is up against it to find competent teachers with school opening only a month pit. Just for the record, Davie county watermelons are now Belling from 50 cents to a dollar. In talking to a missionary recently returned from China, we found her surprised and amazed at conditions and attitudes 1» America. She could hardly believe the plentifulness of everything, and the fact that so many Americans do not realize how well 'off they are. She. had seen starving people, naked people, and dead by the thou­ sands. To one who has lived with the Chinese people as she has, and has seen their heroism, their sacrifices, their hardships it seems strange to be where everything is so plentiful, and people so seeminly unaware of their blessings. It would help us all to compare our lot with the lot of China and Europe. There are a couple dozen things we could name which the American people could well afford to drop. The re- BUlts, we believe, would be gratifying. Among them we woudl put first the disposition to live tomorrow Instead of to­ day. It is good, of course, for people to have laudable am­ bitions, and to look. forward to better things. Faith is necessary in every phase of life. But faith and ambition should not overlook today. We are always conducting polls to see who is going to be elected in the next election; what Is going to happen here, or what is going to heppen there. The country would be much better off If it spent that time and energy in studying and applying the best social, economic and spiritual principles which so vitally effect human life. The disposition is frequently carried over into our religious life, and a lot of folks overlook this life because they are gazing beyond the stars. That, too. Is plaudable and understandable. If properly related to this life, but even, the future life should govern this one. If we know any­ thing about religion it Is something which has to do with life, all life, and it is as much concerned with this life as with any part of It. Life has already begun, today is mighty Important. It too, belongs to Ood. and to the ages. We are not as yet engaged upon a political campaign, but we are engaged now, and for the duration of the cam­ paign in an effort to secure one based upon reasonable .restraint and less prejudice. There are reasonable argu- .ments on both sides—aside from the desire of the Demo- «rats to stay in and the Republicans to get in. Mr. Robse* velt has already had three terms, and many people dis like to vote for another. This is a Democratic country, and the people can vote against him without having to resort to unkind, unfair, untruthful remarks. On the other hand, Mr. Roosevelt Is experienced, understands the sit­ uation as perhaps no other man In America understands it. He can hold his own at the peace tables, as perhaps no other American can. But people who wish to vote for him can do so without being cantankerous about it. Mr. Dewey, it must be admitted Is a likeable man, has grown much In the last few years, and under normal con­ ditions would make a good president. He might make a good one new, though that can be determined only after he is up against the whole situation. There are millions of people who can find good reasons for voting for him without having to resort to sarcasm, wise-cracking, or appeals to prejudice. We are in the midst of a terrible war. Men are dying by thousands, Naturally, there are differences of opinion, and they can be expressed politically without endangering fur­ ther the lives of our soldiers, or the security of the country. But there is danger. A bitter campaign would hinder and hurt. Not only would it hinder our winning the war, but it would greately hindexi winning the peace. Let every Ameri­ can vote his honest conviction, and then let us all unite behind whoever may be chosen, and carry this whole thing through to successful completion. Controlling Weeds Pasture Problem The.presence of a large number of weeds In a permanent pasture Indicates one or two problems, low soil fertility and overgrazing, or probably a combination of the two, .says Dr. R. L. Lovvorn, agro­ nomist of the Agricultural Ex- preiment Station at State Col­ lege, “Most growers think of con­ trolling weeds in pastures by mowing but there is a much bet­ ter way,” says Lovvorn. “Apply one to two tons of limestone per acre and 500 pounds of 0-14-7 to obtain a good sod. Do not over­ graze the pastures during dry weather and keep the animals off l:he range in early spring until the clovers and grasses are es- tablUhed,” Lovvorn points out that there will be considerable growth of weeds immediately after the lJm«stone and fertilizer are ap­ plied but that they can be kept down by mowing until a good sod Is established, He,^ys that a mowing machine bears the same relationship to weed control as headache tablets to a headache Growers will heed to provide supplementary gracing for early spring and also for the hot, dry periods In summer. Small grains and crimson clover make excel­ lent spring grazing, while kudzu ^d an grass', and lespedeza are good for the summer, "Weeds compete with the bet­ ter legumes and grasses for moisture and nutrients, thus re­ ducing the amount of grazing a pasture Is capable ot providing. Cull Poultry And Save Needed Feed Feed supplies have become a limiting factor in egg and poul­ try production, and strict culling of flocks is an absolute necessity at this time, says Clifton Parrish, in charge of Extension poultry at State College, Egg production has expanded 49 per cent in the United States since pre-war days and other livestock has Increased tremen­ dously, resulting in a feed short­ age, The broiler production goal for 1944 was set at 84 per cent of last year but thus far con­ siderably more broilers than this have been produced. The problem now Is one of supply, proper distribution, and conservation of the available feed on hand and In prospect. Parrish points out that the sit­ uation calls for contluous culling o( poultry flocks so as to remove all low-producing hens, broody hens, overly fat hens, hens that are beginning to moult, and all roosters that are not used In breeding. A balance must be maintained between production and avail­ able feed supplies. In addition to contluous culling, an adjust ment in broiler production is also needed. Both of these pro­ grams will result In saving of feed and will help to achieve the feed balance. The records clearly Indicate that there are more than enough Use Care In Buying Farm Real Estate ■ Growers should be particularly careful in buying farm real estate at this time because present land values are based on what crops are selling for now rather than in normal times, say Extension farm management specialists at N. C, State College, They point out that when a depression comes farm commod­ ity prices drop first and lower than the prices of the things the farmer has to buy. Following the first world war prices of things the farmer bought were relatively high for a period of 21 years as compared with prices of things he sold. In the years 1934 and 1936 farm commodity prices were up some' but the farmer had much loss than usual to sell due to drought conditions. The beginning point in esti­ mating the value of a farm comes with a careful estimate of what oan be produced under normal conditions and what that pro­ duction will bring at normal prices. A reasonable allowance should also be made for poor crop years. The specialists point out that the family must live and that taxes, fertilizer, labor, machinery and other farm expense Items must be met every year from the proceeds of the farm. After allow­ ing for these necessary Items, some Idea of the amount avail­ able for paying Interest and prin­ cipal on the farm can be had. It Is more likely that over a period of years prices of farm products will be nearer tihe ave­ rage of 1930-40 than the present high levels. During this period some o l them were as follows; 71 cent corn, 9^3 cent cotton, $6.30 hogs, and tobacco at very much lower prices than today. hens on Américain farms to pro­ duce the eggs needed. and every pasture program should have a definite plan for weed control," Lovvorn says.

UNITED STATES EXPENDITURES For the fiscal year, 1944, United States war expendi­ tures were $89,900,000,000 as compared with $75,100,000,- 000 for 1943—an increase of almost 20 per cent—the war production^board announces. U. S. war expenditures amounted to $199,900,000,000 from July 1, 1940, through June 30, 1944. MANY STATE ROADS NEED REPAIRS Many state highways will te in need of repairs and re­ building by the end of the war, according to an oiTice of war information report, based on data from the public roads ad­ ministration and state and private agencies. At present, the most impressive Immediate program calls for Improving 34,0Q0 miles of rural and urban highways as recommended by the national Interregional highway committee. Final action by congress is pending. ELECTRIC IRONS COMING IN FALL . Of the 2,037,8^8 electric, irons already authorized for " civilian production, about 99 per cent will be household models, mostly automatic, and the remainder, commercial models, WPB says. The irons will not be rationed and some of them are expected to be available In the fall. OPA REDUCES OATS CEILINGS An average reduction of five cents a bushel In the ceil ing prices of oats has been announced by OPA. New base prices at terminal base points range from 71 cents at Seat­ tle, Wash., and Portland, Ore., to 83 1-2 cents at Philadel­ phia, Pa. OPA says the new prices will reflect parity to pro^ duclng farmers during the current crop year.

Cooleemee Cannery Open July 27, 28 The community cannery la in full operation. On the opening day 270 pints and quarts of food was canned. Thursday and Fri­ day have been designated as days for canning this week. Have you extra vegetables on hand you do not need? The school cafeteria can use any extra vegetables and will be glad to can your food on halves as was done the past year. In order to speed up the pro­ cess of canning and to keep you from having to wait any length Suggestions Given For Souring Milk Like inany housewives In North Carolina, a lady from Newton Drove has had trouble in get­ ting her milk to sour normally and has written the Animal Hus­ bandry Department at State College asking whether her cow was at fault or whether the trouble was with the kind of feed that the cow was getting. W. 'M, Roberts, associate In animal Industry, replied that she was probably getting too many of the wrong kind of germs In the milk. He suggested cleaning and sterllzlng all the equipment that comes In contact with the milk. His Instructions were to rinse the utensils In cold or luke­ warm water Immediately after use and then to scrub tt with a brush and washing powder, not soap and & rag, and finally to rinse with hot water, A chlorine dlslnfectent can be used. He also suggested that the cow not be milked In a dusty place and that the udder of the cow be cleaned with a damp cloth. The milk Is then to be cooled as soon a’s possible after milking to 50 degrees for drinking. If sour milk or cream for churning is desired, the milk should be warmed to 70 to 75 degrees for souring. When the temperature of the milk goes to 85 to 90 de­ grees, undesirable germs grow faster than the milk souring germs. If the problem Is not solved In this way, Roberts suggested that the milk be brought to 160 de­ grees and cooled. Then, add some commercial or high - grade country buttermilk, and let the milk sour, He pointed out that keeping the buttermilk at about SO de­ grees after churning retards the separation of whey and harden­ ing of the curd. FOOD The British have Increased food production from a pre-war total of 40 per cent to a total of 70 percent of their consumption. We supply about 10 per cent of their needs through lend-lease. of time tt Is well to make ar­ rangements before coming to the canner tt you have a telephone or through your neighbor.

Dodd, Is urging farmers to harvest all the grass and leg­ ume seed possible this summer and fall. He warns that there Is a critical shortage of these seed to meet even our domestic re­ quirements next year. If at all possible, we would like to share some .seed with farmers In liber­ ated countries overseas to help them get back on their feet. Congress has recognized this seed emergency by appropriating a special fund'of 12 and one-half million dollars to Triple-A, to stimulate harvest of legume and grass seed. By adding this appropriation to Its regular funds, Trlple-A has worked out a special payment for this practice. Harvesting of legume and grass seed becomes an unlimited practice In the Trlple-A conservation program. This means that cooperating farmers can obtain the regular payment ranging up to $3.50 an acre for harvesting seed on any number of acres. In addition, a special payment will be made by AAA of three and one-half cents a pound on red clover seed—cleaned basis— and two and one-halE cents a pound on alfalfa and alsike clover seed—cleaned basis—for any seeds of these three varie­ ties harvested by farmers. Dodd points out that unfavor­ able weather plus a big Increase In demands for hay and pasture and food crops have reduced our harvest of legume and grass seed during the last two years. He says that more seed is needed If we are to grow the legume and grass crops so important In maintaining and Increasing the productivity of our soil. Details of the program can be obtained frorn your county Triple-A office. BUY W AR BONDS and STAMPS mn.THESE WAMT APS w hat YOB W Airr of said County in Mocksville, N.

Atten- tloi) to the details of personal ¡hygiene forms the flrst lihe ot defense against infection. Most everyone is guilty of doing some of the countless small things which are unsanitary and violate the rules of health. Par too often the trouble­ maker is the drinking cup that stands by the water, supply, from which one person after ahother drinks. The safe thing for each person to do is to have a bit ol soap handy and wash the clip (especially around the rim) be­ fore drinking from it. Telltale marks of lipstick left on glasses, bits of food left on tableware, or a greasy smear on dishes be­ speak. of careless dishwashing. Sometimes the guilty party is the cook, who takes a mouthful of her batter and then puts the spoon back into it lor lAore stirring . . . or dips her finger into,It for a\taste. Quite often the mouth is not covered when there Is a cough or a sneeze, and a flne spray ol germs is spread aci'oss the dl^es, the table, or the food being pre­ pared. The dish towel hangs close by to be used as a pot holder ... then put back to serve again as a dish towel, or—worse yet—as a hand towel. Pood should never be left to sit out on the table for flies or dust­ laden air to contaminate. Per­ ishables should be stored in the ice box, and special care should be taken to keep cream pies and flllings cold at all times. In the bathroom there is again the “common” glass—the one that stands by the tooth bruah holder anti is too often used without being flrst washed. Bach member of the family should have his own towel or waah cloth.

M. Willis of the soil conservation service. ■ Farming is one ol the moat hazardous occupations,, WlllU pointed out. Unlike other Indus­ tries, which have greatly re­ duced the accident rate by con­ certed ellort during recent years, the accident rate ot farms has remained consistently high. The reduction ol larm acci­ dents is ^especially Important during wartime, Willis continued, since as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pointed out in his proclamation on National Safety week, the nation is dependent ‘«upon the skill and labor of its farmers in.the gigantic task ol waging war.” The loss of tmie from farm ac­ cidents in 1943 has been esti­ mated by the National Safety council to be double the amount of labor necessary to produce the annual wheat crop of the Vnlt^ States. It represents the equiva­ lent ol manpower to produce lor each person In the United States 16 bushels ol corn, or 313 pounds ol pork, or 202 pounds ol beel. This does not take into account the personal sullerlng brought about by the 20,000 deaths and 2,000,000 Injuries to farmers, their lamllies, and hired help in 1943 as a result of farm acci­ dents, Willis points out. Farm Safety week can be the beginning of a year-round pro­ gram of accident prevention on the farm that will bring the farm rate down to a lower level comparable to that which has been attained by industry, Wil­ lis added. Still, everybody talkin’ about heavier tax burdens am’t shoul­ derin’ ’em. We take it for better and not for worst, 'Whoever gets to Berlin first. NO MORE POLIO Miss Laura Niblock, Yadkin health nurse, said yesterday that no new cases of Infantile paraly­ sis had developed In the county, and that the four cases previous­ ly reported were progressing nicely. Miss Niblock stated that county physicians and nurses were pleased with the preqpnt outlook in regards to checking the disease. All cases of paralysis in the county are at their respective homes, and none have been pa­ tients at hospitals other than to receive diagnosis, it was stated Five typhoid clinics have been discontinued, but Miss Niblock said that those who had already started their vaccinations could con\e to the Yadkinvllle health office on Tuesday afternoons or to the Boonville office on Tues­ day mornings to complete their vaccinations. The clinics closed are Huntsville, Courtney, Wyo, and Turner’s Creek on the south side of the county, and at Rich­ mond Hill on the north side. In the meantime, the total number of deaths from the cur­ rent paralysis epidemic as re­ ported by the state board of health was placed at 17. The to­ tal number of cases in the cur­ rent epidemic was reported to be 362, but for the past week there has been a decided de­ cline In the disease. Stokes coun­ ty last week reported its first case.

Y. Lassiter, Extension horticulturist at State College. He recommedns the following equipment; two 3 by 8 inch culti­ vator steels. No. 2369; one pair of 6 inch hlllers. No. 1167-A; one 7 inch shovel. No. 2539; plus a set of vine turners, which consist of two steel rods bent at right angles; and a 14 inch hoe to fasten the vine turner in front of the cultivator. With this equipment on a five- ARE ANSWERED > \ Q. Is it true that 6 tons of early-cut hay are worth as much as 6 tons of hay cut at the ave­ rage time? A. The agronomists say that there is one-fifth more protein In early-cut hay because more leaves are saved at the right stage. II the green color ol the leaves is maintained in the cur­ ing process, the vitamin content is much higher, according to State College specialists. Not only is much ol the hay cut too late but it is also lelt In t^e Held too long alter cutting, they point out. Annual lespedeza, lor ex­ ample, should be cut at lull bloom soybeat^, when the pods are half filled: and alfalfa, when about one-fourth in bloom or Just as the shoots start at the base of the plants. taila In IMt, Mya Olenn O.

This method of cultivation re­ lieves the grower of a tremend­ ous amount ol hand labor, which is particularly hard to get at this time. Lassiter recently conducted twelve demonstrations in live counties in Eastern Carolina, using this equipment, and grow­ ers changed to this method of cultivation because of the great saving of labor and because the expense of laying by the crop was considerably reduced. Some growers have also used this method in laying by tobacco and report that an exceptionally good Job was done. Q. What is the best method of keeping snap beans, limas, and other such vegetables on hot days? A. Nutrition spectialists ot the State College Extension Service suggest that beans and corn be kept cold from the time they are brought into the kitchen until they are used. Let them stay In . the pod or husk unless you can store them In the refrigerator, tightly covered alter shelling or shucking. Store washed, cooking greens either in a covered vege­ table pan or in a waterproof bag in the refrigerator. Lettuce and celery should be kept as cold as possible.

In public toilets the rim of the seat should be wiped dry with toilet paper before It Is used, and it is best not to sit down completely upon it. The hands should always be waahed with soap before the user leaves the bathroom. After bathing, the entire body should be wiped dry, especially between the toes, where there Is dangr of athlete's foot. Dirty and clean clothing should not be put together, and clothing which has Just been taken off should be aired Instead of being tucked away imme­ diately into a drawer or closet. Beds should be allowed to air before being made. The'hand­ kerchief can be either friend or toe. A handkerchlel should most certainly be used when necessary rather than a sleeve, the underhem ol a dress, or the corner of a slip. Two people should not use the same hand­ kerchief, and dirty handker­ chief* should be separated from other household laundry. Too many people are guilty of the unhealthy habit of wetn ting their finger when turning the pages of a magazine or counting papers in a stack. Pen­ cils, pens, fingers and other such thing should not be put into the mouth. There is no substitute for a clean healthful home as a stim­ ulus for the making and keep­ ing of good personal health habits. The health of any com­ munity can be no better than the health ol the IhdlvlduBls who are a part of it.
