BASKET
Today, Monday, November 17th, is the Golden Wed
ding Anniversary of one of the city’s best known cou
ples. Fifty years ago Miss Carrie Mary Hovermale
and Mr. Charles Preston Walter were married at Berke-
lev Springs, West Virginia, the date being November
17th, 1891. In November, 1897, they moved to North,
Wilkesboro, and until his retirement in 1940, Mr. Wai
ter, known to his many friends as “Captain Walter”
was associated with the tannery here. From 1897
to 1914 Mr. Walter was yard foreman for C. C. Smoot
& Sons Company. From 1914 until the date of his re
tirement he was superintendent of the tannery plant for
both the C. C. Smoot and Sons Company and the Inter
national Shoe Company. Mrs. Walter was the daugh
ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James W. Hovermale, of
Berkelev Springs, W. Va., and Mr. Walter the son of the
late Philip A. and Mary Cooper Walter, of Fredrick
County, Virginia. Mrs. C. S. Sink, of this city, is their
only child, and Mrs. J. S. Bennett, of Chapel Hill, (the
former Miss Minnie Queen), is a foster daughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter are receiving hearty congratula
tions from their numerous friends here and elsewhere,
all of whom wish for them many more happy wedding
anniversaries.

"More milk" tops the list of
production goals propo.sed re
cently by the Secretary of Agri
culture to the farmers of the
I'nlted States. Calling for coop
eration in the mightiest food pro
duction program ever launched.
Secretary Claude R. Wickard has
asked dairy producers to increase
milk production to the tune of 8
billion pounds.
Why so much milk? The Sec
retary gave two reasons. First, he
said, we in this country need to
consume more milk for improved
health and strength. Second, the
British will need tremendous
quantities of cheese, evaporated
milk, and dried skim milk.
Back of both these reasons is
the story of milk’s food value.
Milk is a sound foundation on
which to build family meals. For
packed into a quart of milk are
a lot of essential food values that
would be more difficult and more
expensive to get otherwise.
Milk in mof'* concentrated
forms of chesses evaporated or
dried milk lias rnotlier advant
age. It is easy to ship and handle.
Tims. in comparatively small
packages good solid nourishment
can be delivered to Britain or to
the American consumer.
Milk wa.s one of the charter
meinters of the list of "protec
tive" foods. This is a grouii of
foods gold-starred hecaiise they
.provide goodly amounts of the
i food Vi'lues we need if our diets
I are to come up above t)ie safety
line for gaad nutrition. Living
on diets well above the safety
line is a basis for buoyant health.
Milk qualities as protective
I chiefly because of its calcium
'high-quality protein, vitamin A.
and riboflavin. Everyone needs
to get calcium in his meals and
milk is one of the best and easi
est ways to supply it. Because
children are growing, forming
teeth and building hones, they
need more calcium than adults.
That's the biggest reason they
need more milk than grown-ups.
But although grown-ups don’t
need as much milk as children,
they need some every day. In
many cases, adults neglect milk
simply because they do not real
ize how very valuable it is.
The mistaken notion that milk
is "fattening.’’ for instance, may
cause some people to cut down on
It. Considering the important
protective values of milk, this is
an extremely short-sighted policy.
Foods are classified as fattening
or non-fattening according to the
calories they contain. In propor
tion to its other food values, milk
has comparatively few calories—
about 170 to a glass. Cutting
down on milk and other protec
tive foods is one of the reasons
behind loss of vitality and low
ered resistance that accompanies
certain efforts to keep from get
ting fat or to reduce
Wise mothers know that the
milk-every-ineal habit will le one
that is a heclth asset to their
children through life. Besides the
already mentioned values milk
ha.s some vitamin B1 and a little
vitamin D. botli necessary to good
nutrition.
In working out a low-cost diet
to pieet the new nationrl yard
stick for good nutrition, the Bu
reau of Home Economics of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
the dairy nations. Around 26,-
000.000 cow-s are milked daily
on three quarters of the coun
try’s fi,0000.000 farms.
Although dairying has made
steady progress in North Caroli-
iia, especially during the last 15
years, there are still far too
many farms not owning a single
dairy cow. This is especially true
of cotton and tobacco ^rms,
Haig said. ' •'

many bird lovers along the YadJ

a ihrlll Saturday, November 1 at
twilight, when a mighty flying
squadron appeared in the illu

about two hundred of the four
largest American game birds,
with the exception, of the turkey,
each holding his place prefectly,
flying about a rod apart, with
stroijg,' steady, strokes; each
with his black neck stretched
out in front to escape the rush
