It will stress, e.speciai ly the need of canning everything possible State experts say those fam ilies that neglect to Ciui are I'Keiy to be \e-.~y very sorry. It is predicted Uiai increasing needs of our grow ing army, and increasing scarcity of containers is going to make preserv ed foods difficult to buy. at any price. The farmer with a well stock ed pantry will be better off than one with money in bank, because money is going to buy less and less. The Victory Garden Week cam paign will be [.specially directed at school children old enough to tend small garden lots. Governor Brough ton will address them by radio, over a state-wide hook-up at half pist nine o'clock next Tuesday morning Dr. Clyde Irwin. State Superintend ent. has instructed all school princi pals and teachers to have their 900, 000 pupils assembled before radios at that time. The campaign also will fce pressed by Parent-Teacher groups, and by Home Demonstration club agents. AD schools with home -economics courses will be aswed to establish communi ty canneries at the schools, if pos sible. Although city .vhooi chlMrsn will listen in. along with thoee in rural ?omm unities. the campaign is aim ed at farmers. Those living In ctles and larger towns are advised against trying to raise gardens unless they i have large back-?ards. Digging up flower beds to plant vegetables is | discouraged. This is so. it la explained, because there probably will be a shortage of vegetable seed; especially mustard, kale, turnips and cabbage. 'Ihe only green vegetable of which there is a plentiful supply of seed is spinach ? something that a majority of people ! don't seem to like. In connection with the campaign, | most garden seed dealers are offer- I ing special packages containing ? enough seeds to plant a complete garden for a family of five persons. P'ices range from $5.25 to $6.50, the latter being "extra special". The packages are known as the "Food for Freedom Garden Seed Col lection. The same seeds. If bought in separate packets, would cost from $10 to $18, according to year's cata logue prices. o County's Clocks Continued from Face One ] thousands of residents to get up in the dark, Instead of by sunlight, as ; will now be the case. A similar plan was voted down in Swaim County, but Is expected to be adopted by Clay and Graham, i o County's Throngs Continued from Pant One that residents of this section may find themselves on a "spot", despite the protecting mountains. He called attention to the fact that the many dams in this section make It a prize target for enemy bombers if they can ever get to the Atlantic Coast, and also make this a prize goal for sabotage agents. These dams, he pointed out, are main hubs of the defense wheels. Without them, the stream of alumi num for airplanes and other weapons would dwindle to a trickle. CSftpt Swan also said authoriza tion is being sought from Washing ton for the organization of a com pany of Home Ouards to do patrol | duty at the dams. Such * plan would I release younger men for active ser | vice. Picking older local men for such duty also would redoes danger of j sabotage to a mfaihnann. tor they i would be able to ipot ? stranger instantly.

It was announced that special in structors will be sent here and to Aiiui ews by National Red Cross Headquarters to give Instructions in first aid. Dr. W. A. Hoover, of Petrie Hospital said there should be at least I.000 volunteer first aid workers sub ject to call throughout the county. The special training course will be free. A card was given to every perscn attending the meeting, to be filled out. specifying what sort of civilian defense work the signer would be willing to perform. There also will be a formal registration of Volunteers. ! throughout the entire county, of Feb.

The TV A collect ions were supervised by Project Man ager Leonard, under whoes leader ship hundreds of men contributed a full day's pay. Reading & Writing by Edwin Sparer ft Robin McKown ' People like to know what goes on behind the headlines. One proof of that is the success of William Shir er's "Berlin Diary," which to date has sold over five hundred thousand copies, including Book-of-the-Month Club distribution. A recent book by a foreign correspondent who couldn't tell the full story while he was on the job is Prom the Land of Silent People" 'Doubleday, Doran: 13.00) by Robert St. John. Robert St. John was a foreign cor respondent for the Associated Press. He was in Belgrp.de at the time the Nazis bombed it for the first time ? killing 20.000 out of 300,000 inhabit ants and wounding no one knows how many more. A month later he was in Greece at the tune of the English evacuation. His book describe* the terrible weeks surrounding these two event*. Mr. 8t. John describes the Serbs ns splendid fighters? and tells why they didnt have * chance against the Germans. One soldier he talked with had never heard of m tank. He witnessed a whole troop of men trying to stop ltasl lmiAtets ? by shooting rifles at thro. Be mw sup plies being sent to these soldiers by mews of ox wagons. Hie German trucks could in a few hours cover more ground than these oxen could ' in weeks. In Greece he saw hospitals filled with wounded soldiers ? and no doc tors and no medical supplies. He saw hospitals machine gunned and the wounded shot over again. We have | become accustomed to horro stories , but. Mr. St. John tells a few that 1 will make your flefih creep. Finally, in Cairo he sent out his | first news story in a month's time. i Because of the censor's slashing, this story was limited to eight words: "The Greek evacuation was not an other Dunkirk." All that be wanted to say in this first story, and couldn't. 1* told In "Ftxan the Land of Stlooi People." One of Uw moat attnctlvr books we've seen this season tt? "Ball" ?Durll.

Both ihe scenery and the communal life in this South Sea island are pretty near 'dyllic, according to Mr. Hiss. Crime, he says, is so rare in Bali that the jails arc small, and serious offenders have to be sent to the penitentiary in Java. He cites one amusins; in stance of the way justice is .noted out. A Buhncse was convicted of a small crimc and was sentenced to several months in prison. The judge was in a quandary ? the limited ca pacity of the jail was already taxed. 'He fuially hit on a solution. 'When we have room for you." he Inform ed the prisoner. "I'll drop you a card and va?? c? r. .^crve jiuui sentence at that time." Carl Glick. author of "Shake Hands with the Dragon" (Whittlesey House: $2.75 >. which Lin Yutang says is the best non-fiction book bv an Ameri can about the Chinese people since Carl Crow wrote "400 Million Cus tomers." is writing another book about New York's Chinatown. Down Mntt Street and up Pell, he's a ce lebrity these days, and is hailed ev erywhere with 'Hello, Mr Glick", and "How's the dragon?" At the Sugar Bowl, where he was dining with us the other evening, he was greeted by the young-looking, smil ing patriarch. Mr. Chin presented the author with a photograph of himself flanked by his six sons, his iwo aaugnters. and innumerable grandchildren, which Mr. Glick ac cepted with truly Chinese courtesy. "Just think," he told us afterward. "I knew Mr. Chin for ten yeara be fore ha consented to speak to me In English." o cows Because the dairy farmer has to renew about 20 percent of his milk ing herd every year, he must obtain new milk cows that are as good if not better than the ones he dis cards. referendum Unofficial and uncomplete returns from Lite AAA cotton referendum In dicate that 743,844 cotton producers, or 93 9 percent, favored the contin uation of quotas in 1942. President Roosevelt Says:? DON'T WASTE POWER In just a few days ? on Feb. 9 ? the clocks all over the nation will be moved ahead one hour. If this were not done, electricity might have to be "Rationed". Under the new plan, with more daylight business hours, the saving of power will take care of itself ? PROVIDED NONE IS WASTED. The Town of Murphy wants you to use every bit of electricity you need, for every rea sonable purpose. Use of electricity, in many cases, will ac tually aid defense. For instance: Ice Boxes save food: electric heaters save coal; Radios can spread emergency orders instantly ? and so on. There is a big difference, however, between USING electricity, aud WASTING it. The Most common waste is neglecting to turn off lights when they are not neded. There are a score of ways you can help save power without inconveniencing yourself. We ask you to help us cooperate with our President by seeing to it that not even one kilo watt is wasted. And we are sure that you will! CITY OF MURPHY ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT ~
