Judaculla Rock By Frances Whltt Judaeulla Reik, a large slab covered withl. rude carvings, is one of the ancient mysteries of Western North Carolina. The significance of the inscrip tion has been lost in antiquity, although the Cherokee Indians have a legend that attempts to explain it. The rocK ii under an apple tree or. the farm of Milas Parker and is^aoout 16 miles from Sylva. ? The late James Mooney, etholo gist of the U. S. Bureau of Ethno logy* perhaps the leading author ity on the lore of the Chehrokee Indians, says of Judaeulla Old Fields and of Judaeulla Rock: "Judaeulla Old Field": a bald spot of perhaps a hundred acres on the slope of Tennessee bald, Tsaul Kalu, at the extreme head of Tuckaseegee River, in Jackson County. The gaint Tsaul Kalu or Judaeulla, as the name is corrup ted by the whites, said to be deri ved from the Indians, this bald spot was a clearing which he made for a farm. Some distance farther to the west on the north branch of C?ney Fork, about a mile above Moses Creek and perhaps 10 miles c bove Webster in the sane Coun ty, is the Judaeulla Rock, a large soapstone slab covered with rude carvings which according to the same tradition, are scratches made by the* gaint in jumping from his tarm on the mountain to the creek I below. * The Cherokee legend about Tsaul 1 Kalu-eyed gaint. The names means literally, "he has them slanting", ENLOE PLANS' fa ELL PAND GULF OIL FAC ILITIES HERE Gulf Oil , Company came to Jackson County in 1926 and to day is distributors for Jackson, Swain, Macon and Haywood counties.

I WAS BORN IN THE SOUTH Jesse Collins ^ I was born of a breed Of which gaints are born, In the dark of the woods, In the dusk of the morn, Of a daughter of God, Without blemish or blame, With the help of her faith And the women who came. I was born of a father Who had little of gold, Biit an arm for an axe And a breast for the cold. Yet the trails that he made And the fields that he cleared Are the cities today Where his children are reared. I was born in a place Where the evergreens grow, That are green in the sun And are green in the snow, Where a vale is a church And a pine is a spire, FARM TOURS PROVIDE LIBERAL EDUCATION Farm tours give growers the op portunity of gaining a liberal edu cation at very small expense. These tours also give information that will put extra dollars in the farmer's pocket, if he takes ad vantage of the things that he learns I cn the tours. It is fine to pick up practical bits of information from bulletins, magazines, and books but there's nothing like seeing a job well done under field conditions and learning of the success and mis takes in doing the job. In every county in North Caro lina there are many outstanding pieces of work that every farmer should study. Farm tours are ar ranged by county agents to facili tate the spreading of this informa tion. Under wartime conditions there have been from 15 to 125 farmers taking advantage of these tours. With the country rapidly returning to normal, there is no valid reason why this number should not be increased to 1,000 farmers, with growers arranged in groups and scheduled to make the rounds at different periods of the day. Traffic directors will need to be appointed. The farmers who have been tak ing part in these tours are the progressive, wide-awake men who are always on the alert for new ideas that will enable them to do a job with less labor and expense, and for information that will put extra dollars in their pockets. The grower who needs the help most is generally absent from these meetings? will not walk across the road to find out what iHs mlk about. He is the individual who is con tent to plod along as he has in the past, while new ideas and new practices sweep past him. Here's a job for neighborhood farm leaders. Get these men out to farm meetings and get them in terested in farm tours. Blueing does not whiten clothes but makes them look white by camouflaging the yellow or din giness left by poor washing. STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKER By RUTH CURRENT N. C. STATE COLLEGE Home economists say that such freshly harvested Irish potatoes as those now on the market offer more vitamin C than those coming on the markets from winter stor age. Serve potatoes any way you wish but cook them with care be cause this saves vitamin C as well as B-vitamins and minerals which this vetgetable offers. Do not cook iarge and small ones together. The small ones will be overcooked. A triagle and transparent ruler, which high-school members of the family used in geometry classes, can take a permanent place in the sewing room. A transparent ruler, 6 inches long, with one-eighth inch marks on sides and ends is a great help in measuring hems,' seams, and spaces between buttons. A triangle is useful to square such pattern corners as yokes. When you do find sheets lor sale, dodn't be stampeded by the more sight of them and snatch them up, regardless. Look for a label giving size,, and remember that "torn size" means the size before hemming. Too short sheets like too short blankets are un comfortable and necessarily sub ject to more strain than those which are long enough to tuck in firmly and, for the top sheet, turn back far enough to protect the blankets or other bedclothes. Keep sugar sirup on hand for sweetening drinks and iced tea. It goes farther than plain sugar. To prepare, boil together for 3 to 5 minutes equal parte el wgai aid water. Keep covered tightly in refrigerator. U. S. To Go Back On Standard Time President Truman signed legis lation Tuesday, Sept 25, return ing the nation to Standard Time, effective at 2 Sunday Sept. 30.

Sentinels of Health Don't Neglect Them! Nature designed the kidneys to do a marvelous job. Their task is to keefe the flowing blood stream free of an excess of toxic impurities. The act of living ? lift ittelf ? is constantly producing waste matter the kidneys must remove from the blood If good heath is to endure. When the kidneys fail to function as Nature intended, there is retention of waste that may cause body-wide die tress. One may suffer nagging backache, persistent headache, attacks of diasineas, getting up nights, swelling, puflineae under the eyes ? feel tired, nervous, all worn out.

The legend says that Tsaul Kalu lived in Taunegunyi and is great lord of the game, and as such is frequently invoked in the Indian hunting formulas. Chief Blythe, present chief of the Cherokee tribe, has made a study of the carvings and pro nounces the rock carvings to be a record of a peace treaty between the Cherokee and the Catawabas and that this treaty should last as long as the rock should last. Judaculla Rock is soft and can be easily cut or ground by other stones; it appears that other stones were used to make the carvings on ?he rock . The rock is embedded in the ground and faces west with a drop of almost 45 degrees. It is some thing like 40 feet in circumference, but its thickness is unkown. Across the face of the rock is one straight base line. No other car vings cross this line, which runs practically northeast and south west. There are numerous other lines, holes, and indentations all over the face of the rock. One carvmg looks like the represent ation of a balsam, or spruce tree, one like a horned owl, another like an Indian wigwam, and there are two unfinished spots on the side of the rock, On the west side of the base line there is a carving that looks like the representation of the hand of a ga;nt or some powerful person. The lines and indentations on this s'de of the line are different from those on the other side of the base line. 1 . "Shoemaker Stick To Your Last" 44 ft 4 , .
