S. Fore3t Service. This is two billion cubic feet greater than in 1936 when the last forest ap praisal was made. The combined figures for saw timber and cord wood growth in dicate that America's wood sup ply is now being replaced nearly as rapidly as it is cut for use and destroyed by fire, insects or dis ease. figures for hardwood growth show trees in this cate gory to be growing faster than they are logged for use or de stroyed. However, we are still using our larger trees, classed as sawtimber, hardwood and soft wood combined, fifty per cent faster than they are being replen ished, the survey shows. Mrs! Sutton Heard At Beta P.T.A. Meeting Mrs. R. U. Sutton spoke on "The School Lunch Room, Its Impor tance to the Health and Well Being of the Child" at the first meeting of the Beta Parent-Teachers As sociation, which was held at the Beta lunch room Monday after noon. A large representation of the organization was present for the meeting. During the business session Mrs. Joe Davis, president, told the members that the FT A had been successful in obtaining an electric refrigerator for the school lunch room, to be delivered at a later date. The officers for the year 194C 47 are: Mrs. Joe Davis, president; Mrs. Harry Mason, secretary: and Mrs. Wallace Reid. treasurer. In recent years oat production in North Carolina- has gone from *: :r.?!iion up to 11 million bushels .! yea*-. Good seed, seed treatment, early planting, and better fertili zation are chief reasons. Interpreting the figures, Colo nel W. B. Greeley, former U. S. Forest Service Chief and chair man of trustees of the American Forest Products Industries, Inc., pointed out that much of the im proved growth is due to a nearly 50 per cent reduction in forest fire losses for the period covered by the appraisal. "Widespread support for such forest protection campaigns as the Keep America Green program, as well as Qecreased travel in for ested areas during the war years, helped reduce the number of fires", the Colonel stated. "With the upswing in tourist travel, the need for publie support of forest protection becomes even more im portant. Aggressive vigilance is necessary if we are to maintain the gains made during the past ten years. We must do still Natter." Dr. Roland Will Have Office Over Leader Dr. E. O.

To bring the growth of saw timber up to use and loss figures, m well as increase wood produc tion all along the line, Greeley ad vocated improved forest manage ment as fostered by the nation wide Tree Farms movement. "By good forest practices, we can not only increase the percentage of trees of sawtimber quality/' he stated, "we can greatly increase the supply of wood for pulp and paper and every other forest product. We should bring all our forest lands up to full production for whatever timber crop each area is best adapted to grow".

BENSON ^ Pres id cm t?Ha rdi*g College B Scarry, J rkatts*9 Subversion However successful America'! system of free enterprise has been, faith in planned economy has spread rapidly over this nation's po litical thinking in the last 25 years. It is strange that the world's most prosperous and influential people should forget how its power was built, and think about imitating a plan that fails every time it is tried, but that's the picture. How did planned economy get into the picture in the United States? This is the country with no peasant class! It is here that laborers drive their own motor cars. This is the land where farmers live like lords in older countries. It must have been a strange set of circumstances that turned the eyes of a favored people to look with envy at under-fed and over-worked races beyond the seas. They Only Heard The facts were not all known. If farmers and craftsmen of America could see how men of similar skills elsewhere must live, they would thank God for giving their forefa thers wisdom to safeguard in our Constitution the right of owner ship. Americans who lean toward socialism have seen very little of it anjd heard only one side. Planned economy invaded America thus: After Liberty Bell had been silent 150 years, the Statue of Liberty grew green with tarnish and people oegan taking freedom for granted. Carefree descendants of men who endured Valley Forge ceased to ap preciate their costly birthright; sim ply had no idea how it would seem to be without freedom. Sly digs at America and her people were swallowed down by an open-minded generation. Poisonous Teaching Protected by the free-speech clause in our Constitution, soap-box Drators started braying against in vested capital. Crafty minds coined such slurs as "entrenched greed" and "economic royalists" to stir up envy and make success in busi iess seem dishonorable. Wordy wars against "coupon ~ clippers" Crightened investors, large and small, and choked the flow of capi tal into business. It is not possible iA any country to provide abundant lives for the masses by raiding the rich, but the idea was hatched and spread around in America. Armies of idle people were trained to rely on gov ernment instead of on themselves. Even in schools supported by the ! state, boys and girls learned to I question the value of individual op portunity, a cardinal liberty. Government Control War came, and it was two years ; Did before victory was even reason ! ably certain.

Tate of Rutherford County has sold her new dining room suite. Instead she is using the old walnut corner-cupboard and the dining table that have seen forty years of service. And, she is delighted with the change. What brought all this about? ! Well, Mrs. Tate learned about re- ! finishing furniture at the Union ! Mills Home Demonstration club j and she remembered the old wal nut pieces that she had stored in various places about the home. She bought some red devil lye, steel wool, sandpaper, linseed oil, paste wax, and the like, and then she mixed them with a generous amount of elbow grease. When canning and hoe work were not the order of the day, she bagan applying the lye, sanding, using the linseed oil, and doing the other things needed to bring out the nat ural finish of that wonderful, old walnut furniture. "To clean old furniture is cer tainly interesting and fascinating," Mrs. Tate says. "I just wish that everyone who has old solid furni ture in oak, walnut, and maple would remove the old dye and varnish, and really see, appreciate, and enjoy the grain of the wood j in this old furniture. "I would not exchange my table and chairs for a new suit. The old. | refinished furniture is not only pretty but also easily cared for. We are not afraid of hot dishes ruining the furniture or of getting it scratched. All you need to do a job like this is appreciation of your old pieces and plenty of that much needed ingredient?elbow grease." Mother And Daughter Injured In Auto Accident Mrs. Roxie Rogers and daugh ter, Mrs. Gene Cunningham, re ceived severe cuts and bruises last Wednesday when the car in which they were riding left the road, and plunged into a tree. Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs. Rogers were on the way to Asheville when the steering rod of the car came loose. The accident occurred just beyond Canton.
