O’NEIL Macon County Home Demoinstraticm Agent BLACK WALNUTS AND HICKORY NUTS There is a market for black wal nuts and hickory nuts, both shelled and unshelled. But in order to tell, the nuts must be properly cared for. The marketing committee of the Home Demonstration clubs is investigating markets and prices. Announcement will be made as soon as possible as to both. In the meantime take care of your nuts. Tbey could be a small money crop. Care of Nuts ^ Gather the nuts as soon as they fall. When^ the hull begins to turn dark, take aff the soft hull, allow the nuts • to dry in the sun for not less than ten days. After this store the nuts in a dry place where the air can circulate through them. Never let the hull dry on wal nuts. A crib or a barn loft is a good place to store. Properly cared for walnuts will keep indefinitely. Keep walnuts away from any kinds of oil, grease or kerosene. The foregoing method of caring for walnuts is recommended by R. W. Graeber, 'extension forester. According to information from Raleigh, the curb market is mak ing a record equal to that of older markets in the state. This is based, of course, on the number of sell ers. The '^omtn of the home domon- stration clubs appreciate the co operation the women of Franklin have given them in this venture and urge those who have not been to the market to try their pro ducts. Recreation Program By T. J. O’NEIL Supervisor of Recreation RECREATION AND PERSONALITY It has been said that personality counts 85 per cent toward success and knowledge the other 15 per cent. This seems to be too true. What part does recreation play in the development of personality? Through recreation one learns to be a good st)ort, to win or lose and stand «p and take it like a man. How this! lesson learned •early stands one in good stead in the years to come when one has his lUps and downs in the world of reality. When you go down, do you 'stay down; how do you take it ? Did you learn to foe a good loser and then get up with a smile and try again; did you get this lesson through games and contests when you were young? You who did not, would it have been any easier to face the world with a smile through good days and bad days, had you learned this lesson earlier ? How do you get along with your fellow men ? Do you understand them ? Can you put yourself in the other fellow’s place? Can yoxi express your thoughts, make your self understood., forget yourself and face ai^ audience without self con sciousness? Recreational activities help one to do this. Playing games, singing songs, doing stunts, facing the other fellow in play will do away with inhibitions and self- consciousness. Are you giving your child a chance to start life with out thes'e handicaps which perhaps you had ? Have you provided a place and an opportunity for the proper recreational activities. If you have not, are you giving your child the opportunities he should have ? Many of us think of recreation as a foolish waste of time. Seen in the light of an aid to the develop ment of character and personality, can it ibe thus construed ? as it is ludi. - TUpre’s nothing youthful education. 1 World’s like a fair—whether it s a chief product 60 years ago^ ‘l-Tat was another^chapter^in^my 's Fair or just a county press realities indelibly upon ch.l dren’s minds. g ^ LIGHT * ‘ ' u 'a\ the One of the things shown at Centennial which 1 remember see .?g was Professor Bell's te ephone.

C. 10DAY ond TOM KPARKER BRIDa ENGINE the Corliss It was like getting news of an old friend when I read in the paper the other day that Henry Ford has bought for his Dearborn museum the big Corliss engine which was built for the Centennial Exhibition at Philidelphia in 1876. My real education began when my father took me, as a iboy of sik, to the Centennial; and of all the things I saw there the Corliss en gine stands out first in my memory. That was partly because George H. Corliss, its inventor and builder, was a friend of my father’s and 1 had been at his house in Provi dence. But mainly it was because it was the biggest piece of moving machinery 1 had ever seen, with its 30-foot flywheel revolving so smoothly that there was no vibra tion at all. S-, I remember that my father took a silver dollar out of his pocket and stood it on its edge on the horizontal frame of the engine, and it was not shaken off. The Corliss engine, with its 1,400 horsepower, would seem like a toy today, but it was the greatest tri umph, in man’s attempt to harness natural forces that had ever been achieved, 60 years ago. BUTTER a statue It amuses me to hear people in the East speak of states like Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin as if they were still raw, unsettled prairie country. I read somewhere recent ly an expression of siurprise at the information that Minnesota pro duces more dairy products than any other state, as if that were something new. One of my keenest memories of the 1876 Centennial is that of the “Butter Woman,” a figure of heroic size, carved out of butter and standing in a refrigerated glass case in the Agricultural Building of the Centennial. That was Minnesota’s light, went back to his home m cLtland, N. Y., determined to study electrical engineering, a friendly and able teacher a Cornell University, and at had set up an electric lighting sys tem in his ho^me town, the first in the world. I got to know Elmer Sperry very well in later ye.ars. He was one m the great pioneers in electrical in vention, and in the practical appli cation of his inventions. Sperry got the inspi/ation tor nis life work from America’s first great World’s Fair. I hope the New York World’s Fair of 1939 will stimulate a fresh crop of young geniuses to make the world of the future dif ferent from the present. toy ...«•• pi’sncipral Another thing I remember from the Philadelphia Centennial, besides the -majestic beard of Dom Pedro III, the last Emperor of Brazil, is a toy iny father bought me, a gyro scopic top. A gyroscope is a fly wheel whose axis is free to revolve in any direction, it resists any ef fort to make it change its plane of rotation. Elmt-r Sperry bought one of those Centennial gyroscopic tops. For years he studied it at intervals un til he had mastered its underlying principle, which nobody had ever put on paper. Then his practical mind sought practical applications for the gyroscopic principle. The result? Every important ship afloat today is steered by “Metal Mike,” which is a Sperry gyroscope attached to the helm. Tke Sperry gyroscopic compass gives the mar iner the true North instead of the magnetic pole. Sperry gyroscopes keep modern aircraft o,n an even keel; one guided “Lindy” across the Atlantic. SLAVE now 115 The oldest person on the Federal payrolls is a Negro 115 years old, Mark Thrash, who was born on Christmas Day, 1820. The old man worked for 28 years as a laborer in Chickamauga National Park, un til he retired on a Civil Service pension at the age of 102. I imagine nobody begnudges this former slave the little monthly re- 'tirement pay he Hraws from the Gbvernment. Millions must envy him the vitality which enabled him to keep on working for a hundred years and which still keeps him alive. It is utter nonsense to set an age limit at which men should quit working. Some men ought to quit at 40 for all the good they are after that, but many men do their best work after 70, Broadway By EFFIE WILSON Mr, and Mrs, Cecil Headrick have returned to their home in New York, after spending the summer at their farm on Broadway Mr. and Mrs. Z.
