' MONDAY, OCT. 2, 1939 The WPA and Roads Wilkes people were glad to receive the news that over a quarter of a million dol- Icffs of WPA and highway funds have been allocated for the Wilkes county-wide road IHroject’s continuation. The people who do not live on hard- surfaced state highways are glad of the work that has already been done and happy over the prospects for additional improvement of county and secondary roads. -WPA funds have been a great help in that about 300 miles of roads in Wilkes have been improved. It} is nothing but just that everything practical be done for secondary and coun ty roads. The person living ten miles from a state highway and owning a car must pay just as much tax on the gasoline his car uses as the person whose home fronts a paved highway or city street. The same applies to license plate cosh The license costs the same and the gas tax is no lower just because he must drive miles through the mud to a paved highway. Whatever one’s opinion of the WPA may be, it is generally agreed that the road worrk has been of great value and that WPA money could not be spent for a better public cause in Wilkes county. The work is also beneficial in that it supplies employment for unskilled labor, a class which is not lacking on WPA rolls. Family Reunions Some maybe think that the idea of fami ly reunions is a bit overdone but because the practice has so many merits we cannot believe that to be the whole truth. Family reunions are beneficial in sev eral ways. It is definitely inspiring for people of to day to learn of what their forefathere did toward building a nation, a civilization, a state, a county or community. If \ve learn that the people who have been in possession of our family name made good records for themselves, and helped to make the world a less horrid place in which to live, we have some in spiration to accomplish something. The people who have gone before and have written their pages complete in the history of the human race have done a wonderful job in this country, building up the finest civilization i(n /the world. It should be and is an incentive for us to do something to carry on the good work. Family reunions are also good places to go ,for recreation, social conversation and good eats. There we find our kinsfolk en joying themselves and find it a good place to forget any troubles of t^ie day and join in a wholesome good time. Family reunions are 0. K. What we need is bigger and better reunions. Wishes The Journal-Patriot joins in a$Sihding MOi 2*vm *10^” Tet«r best trishos lb At State Fair^ ty who Will toy for hontta. at the putlC I HIT Carolina state fair begboning on (^tober The exhibitors will include 4-H club 10 . memberSi orchardists and poultrytoen. It is a great honor to win in competition with exhibits from all sections of= North Cai^lina and is an accomplishment not be slighted or ignored. There are two essentials to successfully exhibiting in competition at fairs. Rrst, one must have high quality products, and second, the specimens musti be prepared and displayed to advantage. All other qualities being equal, the ex hibits best prepared and shown will win. We have had opportunity to study the matter and remember one instance in par ticular at the North Carolina state fair. There were two high quality exhibits of com with ten ears each. In one exhibit the producer bad not gone to the trouble to remove all the silks from the ears. The ears had not been broken off the stalk uniformly and the ends of the cobs of some of the ears protruding beyond the grains had not been removed. Needless to say that the other ten ears which had been prepared with exact care took the prize, although tjhe quality of the corn was no better. It is no little job to prepare exhibits which will win even if you have the quali ty of products to be shown. Wilkes has made an excellent record in the past and we sincerely hope that the exhibitors this year will add much to the good record. B(HTowed Comment Foreign Policy At this writing it appears next to cer tain that congress will repeal the arms em bargo and make it possible for people of America to sell to all warring nations on a cash and carry basis—that being that America will sell to nations at war just what they will come after and pay cash for, no more and no less. If sentiment everywhere in the nation is as it is here, that meets with the appro val of a majority of the people and that will be our foreign policy as far as selling to warring nations is concerned. What the American people need to do above everything else is to keep their heads and not let sentiment overcome their better judgment. We want to see Hitler’s nazi regime de feated and obliterated and democracy again triumph. Yet we do not want to let such sentiment lead us to demand that our g^ovemment take steps which will involve us in a war. The world will need an America not damaged by war, in order that it may be lead out of choas when the war finally ends. We have a great oppor tunity to continue to progress out of war. We cant keep neutral minds but we can involve our nation. And the people of England and France should, not be overly optimistic about the attitude of the American people. It ap pears that our people are definitely against Hitler and are for England and France because they are democracies at x^ar with the nazi regime. The position Cf American people is more in opposition to Hitler than it is pro-British and pro- “GOD BLESS AMERICA ’ (Gastonia Gazette) One of the most thrilling and inspiring sights we have seen in a long time was that at the high school football game here the other night when the bands of the Kings Mountain and Gastonia high schools played "God Bless America” as the audi ence of 3,500 people joined in with the words to this spine-tingling hymn. And we could not help but realize how true were the words of that song as we thought of the thousands across the sea living in dread horror of mines, bombs and bayonets. Boys and girls over there were not enjoying themselves as these American boys and girls were, and as others were all over this good land. Thous ands of spectators were sitting out in the open beneath the moon and stars on a crisp, cool autumn night, with no fear of the devasting bomb hurtling from the sky or of the screaming shrapnel from some far away gun. Surely, no more appro priate song than “God Bless America could have been sung and a prayer of thankfulness should have gone up from every heart. If America is drawn into this European war, thousands of these same high school boys will be cannon fodder if the war lasts as long as the other war did. More thous ands of the youth of the land between the ages of 21 and 31 will be thrown into the maw of the cannon if we send men to Europe. Think of these tihings, you folks, who are talking so much about the inevita bility of the United States being drawn in to the war. We can keep out if enough people say so.

Another 25 acre tract adjoining the first traitj and being a part of the L. t BLACK WALNUTS (Gastonia Gazette) One o!f the most valuable timber produc ing trees in the country is the black •wal nut. In the most recent report on stump- age and log prices compiled by the U. S Forest Service it was found the black wal nut lumber sold as high as $290 a thous and board feet. Such a price explains why some large black walnut trees bring as much as several hundred dollars each. Although the durability and beauty of the wood creates a great demand for black walnut, the actual amount of the wood in the timber trade is comparatfively small. Then, too, its relative scarcity tends to keep the price high. In pioneer days, farmers of the Middle We^ used walnut for fence posts and bam beams. Black walnut can be planted, protected, and harvested as a substantial supplemental farm crop. After a few years, it is possi ble to gather annual nut harvests. Black walnut trees planted in deep, rich soil, where moisture is plentiful and drainage good, will be large enough to cut for mar ket in 35 to 40 years.
