ROD AND GUN By GENE WIKE - Some people in the we. tor.1 "waters watch the Cherokee vr.re - tains for signs of good t':s:iir.s, L.v ing partially by the signs of nature, the Indian boys seem to speak tne language of the rippling waters, ?and so you seldom see them with j ^n empty creel. They just don't venture out when the fish aren't * biting. Which all leads up to the sign; language Cv Coggins of rfender sonville wrties about. In the de velopment of human language, he! says, sign language is believed to. have preceded the spoken lang uage. The Arisaki Indians used a great number of "trail signs" which they are believed to have learned from animals, he says. For example, an Indian who wished to indicate that hunting was poor, stripped the bark from one side of a tree; poorer from both sides of a tree; poorest, from three sides of a tree. When he stripped the bark from all sides of a tree, Cy says he was merely say ing, "I'm starving." And we say we haven't seen any bark peeled around region of EYES EXAMINED, GLASSES FITTED Dr. Alden C. Downs will examine eyes and fit glasses in Sylva at M. V. Higdon's offices, over Bow ers Dept.

Tnese practices include proper preparation of the seed bed. t .e use of one of the best varieti .-s, seeding at the proper time. . nd the right method of fertiliz '.on. In^ preparing the seed be:i. disc in .i cover crop for small grains with a heavy harrow in July or August, leaving the crop residues ! in the first 3 inches of the sell sur face. It is not necessary to break the land deeply. Rough breaking I i help? to prevent washing. Small ? gt\ ins sown after such crops as cutt'jn and corn are usually plant ed too late for maximum yields. Either purchase treated seed or treat seed at home. Be sure that the seeds are free of weeds, of ! good germination, and the best | variety. Farm agents of the EX ; tension Service are supplied with the information as to the best vari- ; eties for all areas in North Caro lina. Seed at the following rates: 5 pecks of wheat per acre, or 2 bushels of oats or barley. The following dates of seeding give the best yields of oats and barley: Piedmont, October 1 to 25; Mountains, September 20 to Oc tober 10; and Coastal Plain, Oc tober 10 to 30. Observe the Hessian fly-free dates in seeding wheat: Piedmont, 'October 10 to 31; Mountains, Sep tember 20 to October 10; and Coastal Plain, November 1 to 10. The lower Piedmont should be considered a part of the Coastal Plain. Later seedings than those given usually mean lower yields. ?'

WNC Baptist Pastors' Conference Set For July 8 The Western North Carolina Bnptist Conference has been set for July 8 at the Cherokee Bap tist church. The theme of the pro gram for the day will be "The Pastor Ministering." The meeting will begin at 10:30 a. m. with the devotional con ducted by the Cherokee Baptist church. A short business session and introduction will follow after which time, C. M. Warren of Syl va will give an explanation of the program. J. Alton Morris of Mur phy will speak on "In Personal Soul Wanning" and T. H. Parris of Clyde on "In Weddings." Songs by the Cherokee church will follow and C. D. Bessinger of the Cal vary church of Asheville will ad dress the group. The afternoon conference will be opened with the devotional by Lake Santeetlah, Chatuga, Hiwas see, Fontana, or Appalachia. So we'd assume that fishing condi tions must be pretty good in those parts. WOODMEN OF THE WORLD Life Insurance Society Fraternity Protection Service BRITTON M. MOORE 8ylva Representative 8ylva, N. C. Vet Problems Q.?How may I tell whether my National Service Life Insurance ..as lapsed? Also, what is consid ered the date of lapse? A.?If there is a borderline case in which you are not sure whether yuu paid your premium within the 31-day grace period, visit the nearest Veterans Administration office. The VA representative will assist in clarifying the matter in yo.ur individual case. The date of lapse is the date on which the de faulted premium was due. For ex ample, if you have a premium due on August 1 but are unable to pay by that time, you have an addi tional 31 days "grace" in which to pay the premium before your pol icy is lapsed. However, if you still have not paid the premium 31 days later, your policy is lapsed as of August 1 and not as of the end of the grace period. Q.?Is a veteran who used his loan-guarantee benefit under the old limit of $2,000 eligible for a further loan guaran^y-^now that A.?Yes. If you usedHhe maxi mum guaranty under the original act you still have available a guar anty of $2,000 on a rear estate loan, or $1,000 on a non-real estate loan. Q.?I heard recently of a veteran who applied to the Veterans Ad ministration for mustering-out pay he had not received. Does VA handle this now? A.?No. However, as a part of its service to a veteran, VA will as 'sist him in communicating with the proper military services in straightening out his service rec ords, including mustering-out pay ments.

State College It's no time to waste or throw away any kind of fcod. The foods not needed for the hungry world are the foods that w.ll help us fill the gap made by our voluntary curtailment of fats, oils, and grain. If there are leftover foods, prop er storage and best use of them in tasty dishes will keep them out of the garbage pail. Meats often spoil unless placed :n the coldest part of the refrigerator. Forgotten food shoved back in the ice box too often ends up in the garbage pail. Frequent inspection of packaged goods, too, saves waste and elim inates damage from insects and mice. One of the most outstanding spots for food waste is right at the table. The bits of food scraped from plates. There is plenty of room for sav ing and better nutrition in the foods that come into the kitchen, if they are properly ' prepared. Food values can be almost com pletely lost in cooking. For exam ple, paring away one-tenth to one quarter of the potato results in physical loss, but in addition iron and Vitamin C in the potato are wasted by not cooking it with the jacket on. There is also nutritive food lost when housewives cook vegetables in too much water and then drain off the water into the sink. Here's a waste of vitamins and minerals which have seeped out of the veg etables into the water. In addi tion to that, flavor which might encourage the eating of such veg etables as cabbage and turnips is lost by too much cooking.
