War And Post-War Topics Discussed Before Rotarians Guest speakers at the bi-weekly meeting of the Rotary Club Tues day evening, October 26. were Sgt. Sterling Elders, Barkers Creek lad who went through the fighting at Pearl Harborv^and Prof. E. H. Stillwell, .of Western Carolina Teachers College. Sgt. Elders, who spoke first, told with th^ direct simplicity charac teristic of the American fighting man, of the surprise attack upon the American garrison in Hawaii. Of the incredulity of officers and men when a private rushed in to give the alarm; of the gallant re sistance; and of the gratifying slaughter of many Japs, some" of whom were cornered and on the verge of starvation. Sgt. Elders, who was in the Pa- J cific area for more than a year, was in three major engagements; was under fire practically contin uous for weeks, and was recently mustered out of active service be cause of his health.. His audience listened intently throughout his short talk, then, at his suggestion asked questions, all of which were answered with a modesty and self-effacement that charmed the entire gathering. The closest attention was also given Prof. E. H. Stillwell, as he discussed coming conditions after the war. Beginning with the remark that the war is already won, as evidenc ed by the interest, both deep and nation-wide, in prevention of World War III, the speaker made a plea, for some sort of organization ? call it a super-state, or what you will ? for policing all nations. The object, he pointed out, is enforce ment of non-aggression, whenever a strong nation might seek to over power a weaker one. Prof. Stillwell declared that it was a shame, a disgrace, that the United States did not jpiji the League of Nations. He said that this country might not have been able to make it function satisfac torily, conceding that a debatable question, but stating his conviction that membership in the league would have helped; would have provided prestige and concrete aid that might have averted the pres ent cataclysm. "There must be," he asserted, "some agreement among the na tions that will be backed by force for applying international law." This force, he continued, may seldom, may never be needed for actual exercising, the obvious fact that it is ever ready in the back ground being possibly a permanent LITTLE MEN DOING A BIG JOB LIKE THEIR FAMED NAMESAKE in the Bible, the diminutive Devtt brothers are doing their share of "giant-slaying."

He cited, as example, the life in this country, of state with j sister state, pointing out how ami- j cably the 48 commonwealths exist. "Behind this condition," he explain- 1 ed, "is the everpresent Federal au thority, with the U. S. regular 1 army and navy, enforcement orga- j nizations, if need be, yet we hear ' not a hint of invoking that force i upon any of the individual states; it is simply not necessary." The speaker made a plea for a world organization that would ac- i complish internationally a peace ful situation such as this country's government achieves nationally. | "To do so," he said, "there must! be some yielding of sovereignty on I the part of the component members ? just as our several states yield certain powers to Washington."

Farm Questions and Answers Question: Will a storage battery in a farm tractor freeze during cold weather? Answer: David S. Weaver, in charge of agricultural engineering at State College, says that a dis charged battery will freeze when the temperature drops slightly und er 32 degrees and that the plates may be damaged. If the battery is kept charged it will withstand much lower temperatures without freez ing. Weaver reports that a bat tery works best at 80 degrees tem perature and that when the tem perature reaches zero, its starting capacity is cut TrK^ialf. Question: Are there any health advantages in eating enriched bread and enriched flour? Answer : Enriched, white flour is near the level of whole wheat flour in niacin and iron, is equal to it in thiamin, and much higher in ribo flavin, says Ruth Current, home demonstration leader of the State College Extension Service. En riched, white flour is also valuable in preventing defiency diseases such as pellagra and nutritional anemia. Most important, it helps to com bat mild forms of these diseases | which are believed to be the cause of so much ill health and ineffi ciency. When carrying wheat to the mill, it is recommended that you carry home just as much whole wheat flour as you can count on eating before it spoils. j Question: Can I sell my extra I turkeys, without breaking Govern ment regulations? Answer: Yes. The Government : ban restricting the sale of turkeys to civilians has been lifted, says C. F. Parish, extension poultry specia list at State College. Growers may now~sell to anyone they wish so jlong as they do not sell above the ceiling prices. The ceiling price is 'higher on young turkeys than on old turkeys of the same weight. There are three weight classes for i turkeys: under 18 pounds, 18 to 22 1 pounds, and 22 pounds and over.

L.- Ariajl, Jr., of the United States Army, serving some-^ where in the Pacific area, has written home of an experience which, he justly claims, could hard ly happen every day in the week. He writes that it was as thrilling as was unusual. Some of his brother officers, knowing him for a native Tar Heel, in speaking of a neighboring out fit, recently arrived, mentioned that they had found a North Carolinian in the group. Of course the young lieutenant pricked up his ears. He also sent for the. tnan from his home state. He came in, a soldierly chap, wear ing a private's uniform. "They tell me you are from North Carolina," said Lt. Ariail.^ "I am sir," was the proud re sponse. "So am I,** smiled the interro gator, ? ^IWhaffl your homp sec tion?" "The western part, sir." This time the questioner grin ned. "Why, so is mine," he chuckl ed. "Tell me about it." "My address is a little place in the mountains, sir." This time, the lieutenant laugh ed gleefully. "Mine is too? what's the name of yours?" "Sylva, sir." Private James G. Hoyle, whose post office is Sylva, and who lives in the direction of Cullowhee, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hoyle, was the newcomer. Hoyle and Ariail had never met, until each took a littlejrip? to the other side of the "Gosh, don't you know those boys had a good time!'! exclaimed one of a local group, who' heard the story. And the crowd chorused loudly: "You bet they did!" Beef Cattle Need Several Pastures ? * { Good pastures, both ^lermanent and temporary, are the Basis for economical beef production in North Carolina, says L. I. Case, Ex tension animal husbandman at State College, in his new bulletin on raising beef cattle. He points out that there should be several pastures for the proper handling of a herd of cattle be cause it is advisable to segregate animals of various ages and sexes at certain times. He notes that good permanent pastures are found only on fertile soils which are heavy and well supplied with moisture. Fertili zation is especially important for pastures and <Jase recommends that soil tests be made to determine what fertilizers should be applied. For Piedmont and Mountain soils, experience has shown that 5 pounds of Kentucky blue grass, 5 pounds of redtop, 5 pounds of orchard grass, 1 to 2 pounds of white clover, and 15 pounds of lespedeza per acre is a good mixture for a per manent pasture. For average Costal Plain soils a mixture of 10 pounds of Dallis grass, 4 pounds of redtop, 15 pounds of lespedeza and 1 to 2 pounds of white clover is recom mended. Under average conditions, Case recommends that the inexperienc ed grower begin with native or grade females headed by a good bull. As to the breed, he suggests that the grower determine which breed suits him best and is best I HOSPITAL NEWS - \ Mrs. Frank Smith, of Speedwell, 1 h&s been admitted as a medical pati^qt. i Mrs. Monroe Cody, of Alarka, is better after an operation.
