Address all communications to The Enterprise and nut individual members of the firm Tuenlay, January 2, l*tW. 4 I alumble CAtisrn In the death of Mr C A Harrison this section loses one of its most valuable citizens. While his life was centered around his home and loved ones, he shared it freely with others, carrying wherever he went a ready and understanding smile that cheered and brightened the paths of his acquaintances ; His was a well-cultured character, as if by the blaster Himself, one that fitted into even walk of life At the business conference his ad vice was eagerly sought In the home he was known as a thoughtful and understanding fa ther Hi?enjoyed d" work of a master sports man whether on the ^aitball field, the base bat! dtamond. golf course or on the basketball court He recognized (11s duty and obligations to the betterment of his community,?and?un man ever gave more willingly of his time and means than he did in support of the church and other things that were good and uplifting And in it all he valued the high ideals as they relat ed to fairness. Surely, he had his trying experiences, but Mr. Harrison never lost faith in his fellowman, and he never shirked when duty called. He valued the friendship yt everyone"regardless ol one's station in life. He found time to lend his attention to_ the less fortunate, and he could adjust himself to make the most humble feel proud and glad in his presence. Mr Harrison moved quietly and behind tin public eye. but the progress of this little com munity offers mute evidence as to the value of his work during the course of nearly a quar ter of a Century. He claimed no credit for his efforts and accomplishments. He reaped his rn ward in the knowledge that others were finding happiness; 111 fact, he lived for others and in do ing just that he enjoyed the fullness of life. Although his course through life fell far short of the proverbial three score and ten, Mr. Har rison did not die in vain, for he reaped more enjoyment out of just a few years than many reap in extended spans of life. He reaped more out of life because he put more into life. His ac complishments were many and varied and con stitute a work well done in the few brief years it was his privilege to live. Gus Harrison's passing seems to make it all the more difficult to understand the intricate works of nature, but in one's secret retreat where this man's life can be visioned as a unit, one can grasp at least a partial understanding in the fact that his race was well run, that what requires years for many to accomplish, he ac complished in a few brief seasons. His race was well run, yes, in the sight of his Maker and in the sight of his fellowman. And even though Mr. Harrison loved life dearly, and contentment in knowing a record compar able to his own was being written in the book of time for all men to see in the years that are vet to come Hark Sftot* In IV3V A:, one reviews the happenings as they took plan in Martin County during 1939. the eleven highw.is deaths ap|?ear in bold relief as the dark sjsit of Hie period We read with alarm Un reports from nations at war, but we casually accept the highway death records in otir own land, our own community. No better pledge could be made than one that would provide more safety on the highways, a nlediie that would recognize the rights of oth ers and ban from the face of the earth the road hog and indifferent motor vehicle operator. There is no good reason for becoming unduly alarmed over the death records of the past, but there is every good reason for all of us to be come alarmed over the causes for so many deaths Encouraging Eor Stork Haitrrn The most encouraging news for stock raisers is not found in the market quotations or in the forecasts Reports state that telephone officials are going to raise beef cattle in Hyde County. The venture may prove disappointing, but it is reasonably certain to believe that when tele phone officials undertake a project there is us ually money in that project, and big money, t^> Trouble With Truth Kttiarimi MmulM. "If I had a son, I'd swear to do one tiling: I'd tell him the truth." That opinion is from J. Ed-_ gar Hoover, famed chief of the G-men, whose experience with boys-gone-wrong gives it spec ial point Probably few parents will disagree, yet many are concerned with the problem of how to tell to the truth to a child. Hut no matter how diplomatically and tact fully information is presented to the young ter, it is true that, as Oliver Wendell Holmes once asserted, "truth is tough." GeorgrdBlirrt put it even more dramatically, saying that it "has rough flavors if we bite it through." Con sequently the father or mother who decides to tell the youngster the truth chooses a trouble some?not a dainty?job. There may be speci fic time and place for some things, but truth rec ognises no stop signs, no "do not disturb" pla cards. A youngster may break out in a rash of cur iositv at any moment. His quest for knowledge is not confined to the privacy of some domestic laboratory and it is seldom impersonal. Parson Jones' mannerisms and Aunt Lydia's hats may start inquiries shocking to convention parents, yet prompted by the most scientific attitude. But here's the trouble with truth: Long ago it severed all diplomatic relations with white lies and terminological inexactitudes, with preju dices and propagandas. Unfortunately few adults have followed this policy; consequently, as vigilant custodians of truth, they fall short when a child wants to know why some children must live in slums, why some children must go hungry, why some children musLbe targets for bombs.

Transplanting Trees Is Delicate Progress The first three weeks of January is the best time for transplanting deciduous trees, says J. P. Pilisbury, professor of landscape architecture at State College "Unless- Carried out carefully and i correctly, the transplanting of these trees will result in failure. Many people, neglecting a few minor de tails when making the transfer, have watched their work go for naught as the tree died in its new location. Deciduous trese, Pillsbury ex plained, are those which shed their leaves during the winter. If the tree ee <which-has ? tap root, such as white oak or walnut, or is over two inches in tr^&nk diameter, i! should have had a partial root pruning treatment during the pre ceding dormant season. ill the rase of the tap-rooted sortsr this will include digging down on one side, or on the opposite side of the tree, to expose the tap rout at a point 18 inclies to two feet below the ground level, or more according to the size of the tree or the ball of earth around the roots to be moved When the tap root is exposed, a section two to three inches long should be cut with a long-handled chisel and mallet. The cut at the top of the section should be made smooth. It is important to wait for favor able weather in the transplanting process The day should be mild to cold and cloudy to rainy Holes should be dug oversize in all dimen sions. and good fertile top soil should be used in setting the trees. Manure should never be used except as a mulch over the top of the soil after the tree has been set. In digging up the tree, as large a ball of earth as possible should be moved with it, and none of the roots should be allowed to become dry during the period of their exposure between digging and planting time (laldiretl 4~H (!liil>* Are I'larmirii: New /Vogrriw# Foul'-H club members in Caldwell County are electing their 184(1 (iffi and starting project activities for the | new year.. v ~ I Yadkin (lunnty Shout, Inlerett In Livntock The current trend toward more livestock in North Carolina has hit Yadkin County where registered Guernsey heifers are growing in popularity as a 4 H club project.
