Monday, July 26, 1948 Commission Seeks Ronge For Turkey Restoration The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is seeking a plot of 10,000 acres or more of forest lands for a game preserve in which efforts would be made to restore wild turkeys as a game bird on an experimental basis. If sufficient results are obtained, other such projects would be inaugurated in the state. . In this connection the commission has asked Ivey Moore, president of the Wilkes Wildlife Club, to help locate forest lands which could be leased. On the slopes and in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in Wilkes are many thousands of acres which would be suitable and we hope that such a pro ject can be located in Wilkes' County. Any who have such lands and are inter ested should contact Mr. Moore. In the early day of America wild tur keys were plentiful and provided excel lent hunting for settlers. Had there been conservation work throughout our history the mountains would still have plenty of wild turkeys. The game restoration pro ject should not be difficult if the Wild life Clubs and the people will give their eairnest cooperation. Checkup On Ladders Is Urged By Agents "You may be heading for a fall unless you check your climbing equipment and practices used around the farmstead and in the farm home." That's what J. P. Choplin, county agen^ for the State Col lege Extension Service, said today in stressing the importance oft avoiding falls by keeping ladders and step-stools in good repair and climbing them prop erly. "Inspect ladders frequently for rusted or loose bolts and nails, cracked, rotted or loose rungs or supports," he said. "Make repairs immediately or get a new ladder* That's cheaper than having aii accident." Mr. Choplin points to the sugestions for the safe use of ladders given by the Na tional Safety Council. They are: Firmly set the base of the ladder one-fourth of the ladder's height from the wall. Face the ladder when climbing and use both hands. Avoid leaning too far out on the ladder?climb down and move the ladder instead. Clean mud or grease from your hands and shoes before climbing. Use a rope hoist to raise sharp tools- heavy ob jects, or bulky materials. Open steplad ders fully and place all four legs on solid ground before climbing. Falls are the principal cause of injury in the .farm home, the agent points out. He warns against standing on chairs, stools, boxes, tables or makeshift devices not intended for that purpose. Severe in jury and death have often resulted from falls at low levels. A safe step-stool for the farm home* is the simple solution to this problem. The National Safety Council suggests that step-stools be checked for the follow ing safety factors. Is the top sufficiently broad fcrr comfortable standing? Is each step light enongh to stand the bounce. Arp stens topped with a non-skid surface? bum of Bound material? Doe. the baee lie ? thatyour we.ghtmay be shifted on the top without tippmg the stool? Is it in good repair? Building Polio Hospital In Grtonsboro ! The response to the drive for. funds for the construction of the polio hospital at Greensboro, officially known as the Cen tral Carolina Convalescent Hospital, has already been generous, practical, and heart-warming. There is no doubt that the new hospital, which is being built in record time by a contractor working at cost, is badly need ed. Already polio patients have over flowed the resources of Greensboro hos pital units. The medical director of the National Foundation For Infantile Pa ralysis has given warning that the total may exceed the 875 which the 1944 epi demic atruck down in this state. We do not know much about how polio is caught or transmitted. But we do know something about the sort of treat ment which is necessary to strengthen the bodies and preserve the lives of those who have been unfortunate enough to contact it. For that we do know that hos- i pitals with special equipment are essen tial. The call is to the people of every city, this town, this county and this section of I the state, to do what they can as soon as they can to provide such preparedness asj is possible. Cities and towns in the state will respond to this call promptly and magnificently. "Harrest Is Great, Laborers Are Few" The North Wilkesboro Optimist Club has as its principal activity work among the boys of the community. In no field of endeavor is there greater need and greater opportunity. We usually speak in behalf of civic work as' something for underprivileged, and, 'too often* in terms of a monetary handout in the form of emergency aid. But what youth needs ipore than mon etary aid, is leadership, encouragement and understanding. The boys, especially in the underprivileged class, are given a moral lift with the knowledge that some body is interested in them to the extent that they will meet with them, provide opportunity for play and constructive work. It is not enough to give some balls and bats to a gang qf boys and say: "Go to it." It takes real interest in the boys to get the desired results. Boys are hungry for adult leadership in recreation activities. They also like instruction and coaching. It is a great work for any man who will sacrifice a little time in the interest of future citizen ship. LIFE'S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hifh Point, N. Root# 4 YOU'RE NOT A COWARD You're not a coward, let me say, When from the wrong you turn away, Although the wicked class you so, And maybe deal you blow on blow; Or say you are a simple fool Because you learn not in their school, And go not in the way they walk, ? Nor talk and talk just like they talk. You're not a slinking coward, sir, Although you're called a timid cur, Because you will not smoke and drink, Nor think like sinful people think, Nor go where worldly people go To ballroom floor and picture show, Nor mingle yith the wicked crowd. And show yourself quite vain and proud. You're not a coward, honest youth, When you both act and speak the truth, And choose a good and noble name, And take the manly road to fame. Although the masses pass you by And speak against you on the sly, Qr say that you're a sissy thing Tied to your mother's apron string. But when the crowd that calls you names, Because you do not play their games, Has passed beyond this earthly shore, Unknown, unwept for evermore; Who never blest their land nor state, Nor helped to make the nation great, - You'll just be coming to the dawn Of that great age when you'll live on. It takes a hero brave and strong To go against the wicked throng, And do the blessed will of God, And go the way great men have trod; Then leave upon the shores of time The mark that makes your life sublime, And writes your name on history's page Along with that of saint and sage. SPORTS PRIEFS Sports tuns in thisf community are favorably impreaaed with qualifications of Jack Sparks, newly elected coach and recre ation director here ... In semi-pro tournament the Lin ville baseball team lost a game 36 to 0 . . . We regret to note that the BMkin Jaycees lost about (600 on the semi-pro 'baseball tourna ment in Blkin. We still can't see why that event didn't draw bet ter there . . . The Wilkes Jaycees are getting along all right with the Wilkes league. Israel Ten, the litl? bronze man from Puerto Rico who hurls (or Radford, should get discour aged. In the last 18 innings he worked his team backed him up with runs totaling exactly zero. He also had to pitch ten innings in relief here before his team put < a run over the plate. In, their last series here the Mt. Airy Graniteers proved very tough at the plate, especially Red Casbler, who was hitting them all over the park. Flash Loman was hot at the plate here Thursday night, al most as hot as the weather. He had two singles, double and triple . . . Jack Cooper ran his consecutive'games in which he hit to 24 Thursday night when he singled his fifth time up. They tell this one: The um pire walked up to a group of fans holding a post mortem over the last night's game. ''The umps were terrible" safd one fan, "L was seated right behind the plate and he missed at least 60 balls and strikes." "It'B all the fault of the league president,*' said the ump, "he makes ns stand right behind the catcher instead of let ting ug sit up in the grandstand with you fellows where you can see the balls." That remark has the earmarks of a Sekulski wise crack, but it was attributed to an ump in Texas. Jeremiah Dolan, the new pitch er obtained by the Flashers from Reidsville,' was in the Middle Atlantic class where he pitched for Johnstown, last place clu*. He won lost 13 but his earned run recora was fifth best in the league,. 8.61 earned runs per game, and that | not bad In any mans teague Abingdon would have been a li. rone team all along hTtCy h.h ? n?t r?.e catcher, h? no team can win tf ban ners conaiatentty ateal ?^>nd and third bane agalnett hem. 24c a pound, loose sou?
