Fanners Planning Terracing Work Many farmers in this section •re making plans tor terracing, some having already begun build ing terraces, according to Assist ant County Agent Jessie Giles and J. F. Doggett, Engineer, of the Soil Conservation Service, in the Wilkes Work Unit of the Tri- Croek District, Wilkesboro, North Carolina. Where large tractor terracing equipment is unavailable, satis factory terraces can be built with equipment on the farm. Soil Con- aervation Service technicians will be glad to cooperate in seeing that terraces are properly laid out. It was also pointed out that twraces should not be built un less satisfactory outlets are al ready available. According to Assistant County Agent Giles, It is important that farmers do not undertake more terracing than may be completed In a season and it is also essential that each terrace be completed before new terracing is undertak en. This provides strong and sat isfactory terraces and eliminates later rebuilding and erosion dam age which results when terraces -break. Elquipment which may be used for terracing where larger terrac ing units are not available, in cludes turn plows and long wing terracing plows: homemade or commercial V-drags; drag pans; and small farm tractors equipped with small blade terracing ma chines, tillers and V-drags. Fanners desiring to learn the best methods of building terraces are urged to consult the County Agent or Soil Conservation Serv ice technicians. ^5? Fred E. Rycroft Funeral Tuesday will at Fred B.

In short, the weather ran away with the dizzy doings trophy last week for the second week In a row. (A third time, and it gets permanent possession—and the rest of us can move to the south seas). The temperature dropped 79 degrees In 36 hours in lAtvla, and it was so cold in New York that the city put two police of ficers on skates! The wind in Buffalo picked up a motorcycle and tossed it across a. street, and It was so cold there that a hobo, offered a suspended sentence, took a look outdoors— and asked to be sent to jail . . . and a hobo in Memphis was re duced to bumming a dime from— a blind beggar! The Putnam Valley, N.

The lone guy who seemed to be able to take it was the Sioux City, la., man who, with the thermome ter at 20 below, walked six blocks In his bare feet—In his sleep! But It never seems to get cold enough to cramp the cavalcade of cockeyed occurrences— A Philadelphia congressman was presented with a diamond ring, and before he could finish his speech of thanks the ring was stolen . . .

Poetry By Vivian Johnson Published The Poetry Digest of New York City in their Annual Anthology of Verse selected the poem, “Sep tember,” by Miss Vivian Johnson, of Charlotte. Miss Johnson is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will J. Johnson, former residents of Wilkesboro. The poem follows: “September” September is a lazy drone Humming a drowsy tune ’That is making the brook sleepy. And the chestnuts, falling too soon. Roll listlessly down the hillside To lie content among the tvild asters. September is a gay chevalier. Who rides early In the morning Across the marshlands gray. His hair is the golden com, His coat the flaming foxfire. He bids us join his merry chase Over the hills and into the ravine Where the muscadines are ripe and full. September, with your dual-nature. You first sadden me with your sleepy song. And then I am gladdened by your Scarlet laughter.

Dunlap Is the Chairman, has rendered a valu able service in dts one hundred per cent cooperation in the task of, really and fundamentally, get ting at the bottom of the venereal disease problem as it afects our prison population,” declared Dr. Carl V.

Pardne’s plan when"^ he left Laurel Hill was to-Stop over with Mends in Greensboro for a few days and proceed to Roaring Riv er. -When he failed to show up at the home on Christmas day, a search was made In the Ticluicy jof Hamlet, Laurlnburg, and Laur el HIU in an effort to secure some clue. However, these efforts produced nothing. The family still refused to give up hope and ex pressed the opinion that he pos sibly changed his plans and went elsewhere for his mid-year vaca tion, and would return to his classes on January 1. He failed to do this and a brother, Eugene Pardue, instructor at the Univers ity of North Carolina, spent gome time around I,aurel Hill trying to get a line on the whereabouts of the missing man but could not find trace of htan or his automo bile, a 1937 Dodge sedan. Hamlet police officials received a message from authorities at Key West last Thursday that Henry Hatch, former man who was working in Florida, had been found drowned in a pool there. However, It was later discovered that this was a case of mistaken identity as Hatch was found to have enlisted in the army on .&n- uary 7. Members of the Pardue family called at the Hatch residence and admitted that there was a strik ing resemihlance around the fore head. They expressed fear that the drowned man found in the Florida pool might be their son. Federal and State authorities were notified and are working on the case.

Under a new law the treasury made public today the names of those who received more than $75,000, instead of $15,000 as in past years. This change cut the line from 50,000 to an even 400. The list was not, however, a “400” of the nation’s wealthiest people, because it excluded in come from dividends or other sources not called “compensa tion.” Thus names like Henry Ford and John D.
