I Mutttftora Rote Fenca I Soil Conservation News] By Joha" Smith 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.

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 nicians of ti e Soil Conserva tion Service in theCourthouse for information and applicat ion blanks. clothes dryer! < I I ' \ ?

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 from key leaders of the major civic organizations of each unit In the district. Also an 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. a. This council will perfect its own organizations by selecting its chairman, secre tary and other officers needed at its organizational meeting in City Hall or school house In the town of Andrews, North Carolina, b. It will determine amount needed to be raised and allocate amounts to be raised by the different units on a capita basis. c. It will make application to the state for a charter. d. It will select the building committee subject to the approval of the State Board of Education. a. It will select a committee whose duty will be to make selection of the location for the college, and purchase the necessary land. f. It will select the Board of Trustees, subject to the approval of the State Board Of Education. (1) The Board of Trustees should be made m of qne member from each unit total of seven. (2) The term of the Board of Trustees to be staggared. (a) Two members for two (2) years, two members for four (4) years, and three for six (6) years. (3) New board members would be elected by the people and approved by the State Legislature or State Board of Education. (4) The dudes of said board will be to organize and perform such duties as ordinarily devolve iqx>n said boards of trustees, Including; Securing necessary temporary housing to acomodate the college until the necessary housing be completed. / (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 its organization and begin to function. Be it resolved further that college's name be selected as follows: A. A committee selected by the executive council to serve as a Judge whose duties will be to select the most appropriate name from a list of names submitted by the rising senior Classes of the various high schools In the district. B, An award of $25, $50 or more be made to the senior class submitting the winning name. A dinner be given to the Administrative tnit raising its allocation first. Therefore, we the undersigned, do hereby pledge the following sums of money, land, livestock, timber, labor, scholarships, wills and bequests and other valuable property to be paid to the Treasurer of the building committn of the proposed Junior College (Com - m unity College) wltfi the understanding that the state will aid in die procuring o f the campus and building groiaids, and the erection of the necessary building or buildings to house said Institution on a matching basts of dollar for dollar (rom fund* appropriated for this purpose.
