Siamese Twins Start Life Siamese twin girls, delivered by their grandmother, were given a good chance to live, although physicians expressed doubt if they could be severed. The twins, born to Mrs. Miranda of Coldwater, Ariz., a suburb I of Phoenix, weighed a total of 8 pounds 9 ounces, and are almost identical In size. Their condition seems to be improving.

' Irish Towel Loom Yardage Girdled Globe 51 Times Narrow width Irish linen looms ? the ones which were used for weaving towels and dish towels during peace times ? have woven enough yardage during the war years to reach 51 times around the world! The list of fabrics woven on regu lar towel looms is amazing. It in cludes tapes for parachute harness, machine gun belts, chevrons and braids and medal ribbons, material for cartridge bags and ammunition pouches and infantrymen's packs ? all vitally essential military neces sities. With cutbacks in military orders now in effect, these looms are again busy weaving pure linen hand towels and kitchen towels, which have already begun to come back into American stores. ? I I FARM SECURITY OFFERS FIVE TYPES OF i SERVICE TO ELIGIBLE FAMILY OF COUNTY There are five kinds of service available to eligible family-type farmers in Jackson County thru the Farm Security Administration office in Sylva. According to Wil liam T. Brown, Jr., County FSA Supervisor, these services are as follows: 1. Operating (RH) Loan ? These loans are made for almost all farm and home needs which will help families increase production: Im prove soil, buildings, and home conditions: and result in higher living standards. These loans are repayable in from one to five years at five per cent interest. At pres ent two hundred sixty Jackson farmers are finding these loans helpful. 2. Group Loans ? These are com munity service loans made to two or more farmers to encourage own ership of heavy machinery, pure bred sire, etc. These loans are usu ally repayable from three to five years at five percent interest. Nine farmers have these loans. 3. Farm Ownership Loans ? These loans are made under the terms of the Bankhead Jones Farm Tenant Act- of 1937- which provides^ one hundred percent loans to enable tenants, share-croppers, and farm laborers to buy farms of their own. These loans are repayable over a period of forty years at three per cent interest. Similar loans are also made to small landowners to buy additional land for making a family type farm. In Jackson County there are twenty-three ac tive loans of this type. Six farm ers have paid their loans in full, and are not included in the above number. Of these, four are two or more years ahead with payments, five are one to two years aheac^, four have paid ahead on 1945 pay ments and eight are on schedule. The average size' of FO loans in Jackson County is $2,542. The average size of farm is .105 acres with an average of 30.6 acres of crop land per farm. 4. Health Services ? FSA bor rowers have .an organized hospi talization association. The mem bership fee is $12 per family per year. Jackson County farmers are now participating in this program, i 5 Technicial Guidance ? FSA is not merely a lending agency. Edu cational assistance is tied in with money lending through means of developing farm and home plans with each family each year. In so doing, each family secures sugges tions from the farm and home supervisors on improved farm and home practices which will lead to ! greater yields in crops, more profit from livestock, improved soil and ? buildings, production of year I lound family food supply, better health through sanitation, safe water, and proper diet. Finally, J FSA Supervisors encourage alL | families to keep their children in school, attend church of their choice, and participate in other ' community activities. The secret of success of FSA families is planning ahead, keep- ! ing records of transactions, thrift i in living, and hard work in food < and feed production along with j soil conservation practices. This j is a democracy in which each in- I dividual should have' an oppor- ' tunity to find his proper place. It I is only natural that the individual independent family-type farm is ' the- backbone^ of- American^ Demo^j cracy. ' ' MM 2-c John M. Bradley Reports To Charleston For Reassignment MM 2-c John M. Bradley, who has been spending several days' leave at mon He who will remain with him for a iew days' visit. MM 2-c Bradley spent one year in New Guineas and from there to Manilla and Luzon. He now holds the honorable discharge button and was in service in World War I for 28 months. The supply of home-grown hy brid corn seed will be greatly in creased this year but will not furnish nearly enough seed to meet the demand.

The tremendous war-time de mand for pulpwood will con tinue because of the civilian demand that has been piling up and the many new indus trial uses that have been dis covered. Pulpwood has no re conversion problem. And that is typical of most of our business here. It runs along pretty steadily? no big ups and downs.
