How many of you farmers
have a fence which is going
10 have to be rebuilt in tte
next three to five years? How
would you like to replace it
with a fence which would last
you for the rest of your life,
even if you live to be a hun
dred years old? It can be
done with less labor than it
required to stretch a new wire
fence and at only a fraction
of the cost of a wire fence.
The easy solution to fenc
ing problems is to plantliving
fences which require only a
small amount of fertilizer
yearly, and some very fast
trimming to keep them in per
fect shape. For a number of
years farmers all over the
south and the rest of the
states have been using Multi
flora Rose plants to make
their fences. These plants are
available free of charge from
the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission in
Raleigh to any farmer who .
makes application for them.
The seedlings are very easy
to plant and are very hardy
with a -high rate of survival
when properly handled.
It takes from three to five
years for these plants to grow
up to the point where they are
very hardy with a I lgh rate
o ( survival when properly
handled.
It takes from three to five
years for these plants to grow
up to the point where they
are effective as a fence, de
pending on the type of soil
in which they are to be plant
ed. Extra fertilization on poor
soils will help hasten tie
growth. The Multiflora Rose
plants should be set out now
if you desire to remove an
old fence in three to five
vears from now. It would not
be wasted time to plant them
parallel to a wire fence which
may be serviceable for longer
than five years. Ti e plants will
not grow in shade so it is not
possible to use them through
woods or within thirty feet of
the edge of a woods. Thev are
suitable only for making fence
between cleared fields.
When the plants have matur
ed. they form a fence that
even a shoat can't go through.
It is strong enough to hold the

By the year 1000, population
of the world will grow A S
billion people who vlll have
1 K> be fed. This development
will cause serious problems
for the world's sericulture.
For those areas plagued
with agricultural surpluses
and artificial price sifports
this problem does not seem ,
threatening la the near future.
It will be appreciably mora
important1 for those countries
with greater population den
sity now agriculturally under
developed and unable to pay
for agricultural imports.
Between 35 and 40 percent
of the nation's population Is
either engaged in farming, the
production of farm supplies,
or the processing and distri
bution of farm products.
The supermarket, the cor
ner grocery, the restaurant
and our own kitchens usually
are hundreds, sometimes
thousands, of miles from the
sources of our great variety
of abundant, wholesome food.
Food reaches our kitchens in
new and appealingfoims.Mail
order steaks are now available
through catalogue ordering
from Montgomery Ward and
Co., featuring Wilson and Co,
Meats. The mail order firm
has a 16 page illustrated cata- p
loeue listing 37 varietys of
meat. Frozen meats are ship
ped in insulated packages con
taining dry ice and are guar
anteed to arrive in perfect
condition.
The L'S will sell one billion
276 million dollars worth of
wheat and rice to India in
the next four years, under
the President's food for peace
program. There are many
skeptics who do not believe
this.
Today, American Agricul
ture help undergird the free
world. The matchless produc
tivity of American farm land
and efficiency of the Ameri
can farmer are powerful for
ces for peace. With the trend
toward rising yields anddwen
dling ! umurous contentof soil,
the crop's demand for
moisture and the soil's cap
acity to deliver it are growing
apart.
There are many farmers
hat need to do something a
bout conserving the soil and
water on the land they own.
The ACP program through the
ASC office will help farmers.
biggest Jersey Bull, and the
champion jumping horse in
America could not clear the
fence on his best day.
Besides being permanant,
these plants make a fence
without any posts, except
where it is necessary to make
gates. Birds will use the pro
tection afforded to build nests,
and the fruit is eaten by the
birds and small animals.
Any farmer desiring to
obtain Multiflora Rose plants
is invited to contact the tech

MODERN P
ETIQUETTE
*
By Roberta L??
I
Q. We've bet... raving ?
little argument as to whose
place \t it to apeak first
when meeting on the street,
ttie man or the woman* Will
you please settle this (or us?
A. Once upon a time, it
was always the 'lady' who
spoke first. But today, if they
are good friends, there's no
thing at all wrong with the
man's speaking first.
???????
Q. Is it really considered
good manners to use the han
dkersfiief while at the dinner
table?
A. This is not so much a
question of 'good manners'
as of 'necessity'. Certainly
when the necessity arises,
one must use the handker
chief at the table ? but do
it as inconspicuously and as
quietly as possible.
????*?? .
Q. Is it considered polite
to refuse a cigarette someone
has offered you, if you prefer
your own brand?
A. Yet: bucrefus* gracious
ly, saying. "Thank you. but
1 have some."
?????*?
?Q. Are the candles on a
dinner table sifposed to be
lighted before or after the
guests are seated- --and also,
wfen are they extinguished?
A. Tl e candles are lighted
just before the guests are
summoned ? and the hostess
extinguishes them as she and
her guests leave the dining
room after the meal.
????????
Q. When one is in doubt
as to whether an Invitation
can be accepted or not, how
should the acknowledgement
be worded?
A. There should be no un
certainty about the acknow
ledgment. You MUST state
definitely whether or not you
can accept the Invitation.
????????
Q. Is It all right to use
1 (he wH|<iMig M thank ? perv
A. This i? acceptable
but < handwr^ncn met oi
thanks is much better.
??ee?e?
' Q. Would It be proper (or
the bride's older sister to
five her away at her wed
ding. If both parents are
dead?
A. This would be in per
fectly good taste. The sister
would enter the church, just
as the mother would, im
mediately before the cere
mony begins, and seet her
self at the front of the church
co the left of the center aisle.
Q. When the woman, in
whose home a bridge club ii
meeting, achieves the highest
score, should she keep the
prize?
A. A hostess does not take
the prize- that she herself has
furnished. If, however, the
prize has been bought with
money contributed by all the
players, then she may accept
it if she wins.
Q. When a man is dining
in a restaurant with his wife,
and another couple stops at
their table for a few words,
must he rise?
A. A man always rises when
a woman stops at his table.
DOES THE THIRTY-THIRD STATE SENATORIAL DISTRICT
WANT A JUNIOR COLLEGE?
(Editor's Note: The following Is ? reprint of a petition being circulated In this area by
T. F. Thomas son, Andrews, N. C. Any Interested parson Is asked to contact Mr. Thomasson.)
Education Is so essential to the growth, development, and welfare of the citizenry of
a growing democracy In a changing world filled with new, perplexing problems that change
from day to day and year to year and in view of that great American principle taken from
the Ordinance of 1787, which reads, "Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary
to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall
be forever encouraged," we feel the citizens of tomorrow need to be better prepared to
solve these problems and thereby meet the challenges of Communism or other would be
challengers of Democracy.
We therefore believe a Junior College should be established In this State Senatorial
District consisting of Clay, Macon, Swain, Graham, and Cherokee Counties. (The location
of said college be selected by a committee elected for this purpose by the central executive
council.) for the following reasons:
1. "North Carolina, like the rest of the nation, is faced with souring numbers of young
men and women who plan to go to college."
2." "The growth of Junior Colleges, both public and private, has been very rapid through
out America."
3. Studies show that the community college saves (the taxpayers money five (5) to one (1).
4." It would put a low cost two year college education within commuting distances of most
students in this district.
5. A higher percentage of students attend college if with commuting distance.
6. Western Carolina College has been turning students away since soon after last January
because they did not have room for them. The same has been true of many other colleges.
7. This would make it possible for more students to attend college.
8. It would relieve congested conditions at the larger colleges, now over-crowded thus
relieving them of having to build additional dormitories.
9. It would make possible mrfre home counseling and supervision.
10. It would serve as a youth center.
11. it would raise the standard of living.
12. It would reduce delinquiency,
13. It would boost the morale.
14. It would rewaken or create a desire for better education.
15. Our mountains offer a healthy environment for study.
16. it would give the people a greater pride for their mountain home.
17. Our boys and girls could better compete in the employment world,
18. The students' money would be kept at home.
19. The present industries would be stimulated.
20. More industry would be drawn to our district.
21. The tourist Industry would be strengthened.
72. It would make possible more equal distribution of state funds for higher education.
It would bring more money to this district.
23. We no longer would be- the step-child of the state but rather assume a larger role
in the governmental affairs.
24. Schools might be brought closer to the parents.
25. This might be one of die many means of strengthening world peace movement.
26. The young people, the districts greatest asset, attending this college would be inclined
to homestead here.
Be it resolved that the district be organized In the following or similar manner for the
purpose of collecting the necessary pledges and funds:
1. A school Administrative Unit council composed of five (5) or more members shall be
selected by the major civic clubs of the unit whose duties would be to direct the campaign
within the unit and select its representatives to the central executive cotsidl with head
quarters In Andrews. Each unit council will direct its campaign through its ways and
means committee and report to the chairman of the unit executive council who In turn
will report to the chairman of the central executive council until such time that the
necessary funds are raised. The unit ooundl will also have charge of helping the students
make arrangements for conveyance to and from said J tatior College, and may perform
any other services essential In promoting and co-ordinating the project.
a. It is suggested that the Sheriff, Mayors, and Chairmen of the County Board of
Commissioners of each county, Chairman of Board of Education of each Admin
istrative unit, the School Board's cTxecudve Secretary, the State Senator and
State Representatives of the dlstrSt. together with the present candidates for
the above offices, be made ex-offlcl<? >r honory members.
b. It is suggested that these council members be selected by the various civic
organizations of the unit.
2. A central executive council composed of twenty one (21) or more members, three or
more from each unit be selected by the executive council of each unit in the district

Educational Advisory council for each of the seven units be organized in the same or
similar manner as the executive council who will work in and advisory capacity to
local and central councils.

(5) This board is to be selected on a non-partisam or bl -parti sm basis.
g. It may determine its own time and place of meeting, thus making it possible
to rotate from town to town within the district.
It Is suggested further that any bona fide ddzen of a school unit Interested In securing
a J tailor Collage for this Senatorial district may call a meeting of the Interested citizens
for die purpose of organizing Its local unit into a council and as soon as a minimum of five
units organize separately and elect its three central executive council members, It will
become the duty of these central executive council members to call a meeting and peHect

Be it resolved further that college's name be selected as follows:
