It has been .pointed out that one of the big problems which has faced the staff of the fishery division has been the proper distribution of fish from thCstate hatcheries. Too often fish have been placed in waters unsuited to them. Brook trout have been stocked in waters where they once thrived, but where illy planned agriculture erosion and abuse have modified the original streams so that brook trout can no longer live and produce. Rain bow trout and brown trout have been wasted in waters which become too warm or are otherwise unsuited for trout. At a series of 35 stations and sub-stations in the state the data is being gathered. " We appreciate such a step in this county as the fishing, thanks to the State Conser vation Depaitment, is steadily being im proved. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1941 What Price Eggs One of the first pinches of the present crisis felt in this community was the sky rocketing of the price of eggs. When one has an egg for breakfast these days he can justly have the sensation of eating money, for when the fruit of the hen goes beyond forty cents per dozen, it makes the regular old fashioned breakfast, which is still cur rent in a lot of families, come mighty high. Nobody knows how long this war is going to last or how far inflation will carry us on its uncertain wings, but we might as well get it into our heads that anything we can grow or raise on our own premises is money in our pockets, and maybe enough food for our families. This much can be said for the hen, when she lays an egg, it is now truly a gold nugget. Thanks Congratulations are in order to the leaders of Haywood county for the splendid home arts - exhibition and livestock show which they staged last Friday. The day represent ed hard and zealous work on the part of the citizens as a whole as well as the civic leaders who took a forehand in planning it. A good part of the success of the event is due, we believe, to the effort of The Waynesville Mountaineer in publicizing the show, and we hand the publishers a laurel for their excel lent work in that piece of community ser vice. The Transylvania Times. Agricultural Courses v We noticed recently agricultural education is to be expanded in North Carolina through the schools with the addition of 67 hew voca tional agricultural departments. This brings the total in the 69 counties in the state having such departments up to 489, according to Roy II. Thomas, state su pervisor of vocational agriculture of the state department of public instruction. We congratulate these 67 schools for the addition of these classes. We know here in Haywood County the fruits of such work. We know what it has done for agricultural promotion and development in this section. We have evidence of what the boys are learn ing in their class room and on their projects being put into practice on our farms. We have been exceptionally fortunate in this county in the high type of the teachers of these classes, who haveput forth' every effort to aid the boys not only at home but on the farms. Will You Have One? We haven't tried one yet, but we see where the new "Vitamin B sandwich' is highly recommended to help one guard against deficiency illnesses. The sandwich is the result of research by the Universities of .Wisconsin and Chicago, and was made public last week. V .'. It consists of peanut butter mixed with about 20 per cent dried brewer's yeast spread between two slices of so-called "peeled wheat bread", which is manufactured under ; a process that removes only 2 per cent of the whole grain. ! The sandwich is said' to contain all the members of : a "thriving B-complex family" which at ; present numbers eleven sub-vita mins that protect against pellagra, nerve inflammations and other ailments. The sand wiches have been given a try-out" for the past five months in the office of the Reader's Digest. . ;' A Hang-over " Y JUST WHAT DO YOU (.

Home And Regular Meals More regular and tranquil American fam ily dining room habits would strengthen parent-child 'relationships in this country, so the Ladies Home Journal editors believe. They made this the subject of an extensive editorial theme, starting with the Septem ber issue of the magazine. ' The editors claim that the crying need of ' today's children is a sense of family security. -In the dining room the place where the re current ritual of good food and family as sociation deepens family bonds, here the thild can feel himself a part of the .family group. Here the fundamentals of good man ners can be taught. , Too frequently in recent years, it is point ed out, the dining room has fallen into disuse In favor of snack-and-run eating in the kit chen or careless, quick crowded habits of the breakfast nook. The editors have observed such habits from coast to coast in articles during the past two years on "How America Lives". "In the present state of world emergency,"--' says Beatrice Blackmar Gould, co-editor, "the first thought of each American family is to strengthen its own family unity and to draw closer together. , No better means for these can be provided than to bring the family together regularly and pleasantly each day with the happy associations and conver sations of the dining room. Paperand the Defense Program Steel plants use paper for the purpose of inter leaving armor plate and cold rolled steel to the extent of some 60,000 tons (or 3,000 carloads per year. One point of embarkation for our t'roop movements required within a very short period of time 1,000,000 pounds of waterproofed kxaft paper to be shipped immediately for the purpose of wrapping supplies. It might be interesting to also give at this time certain pertinent figures with regard to paper requirements under the de fense program which we believe will give you a better idea as to the collosal size of this program. Let us itemize for you certain of these requirements, as follows: . Today, the requirement has been for: 7,500 tons (or 375 carloads) of mimeograph . eamp. ... - 2,500 tons (or 125 carloads) of typewriter paper. 2,000,000 rolls" of toilet paper for etuh army ; ,. paper 50,0.00,000 file folders. ,j ' 3,750,000 sheets of carbon paper. 1,000,000 paper milk bottles per day (at the present time) to each army eanp. 30,000,000 Defense Stamp albums. 100-000,000 pounds of super book paper and ' 100,000 pounds of cover paper for soldiers hand books. This amount of hand books. if stacked, would be sixteen times as high as the Washington Monument. 4,000,000 sheets of poster paper for the Minute Men" National Defense Posters. 11,000 tons (or 550 carloads) of target paper. 14,000 pounds of asbestos paper for each cruiser manufactured, of which 64 are now being built. 11,000 tons per month (or 650 carloads) of board for, shell containers. -' 1,250,000,000 envelopes will be required this year for the government. 30,000 pounds (or 1 carload) of blue print paper for each battleship constructed. These figures, enormous as they may seem, give you some idea as to the tremendous demand being made upon the paper industry under our national defense program. Bear in mind, however, that this is only a portion of the paper, as the greater amount of paper required for the program is going direct to contractors under the national defense program. In fact, it has been estimated that it requires 1 000,000 tons of paper for each $5,000,000,000 of defense appropriation. The national society of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion through the hundreds of chap ters throughout this country . . r are asking people to save their stamps . Mrs. L. M. Killian has been appointed local chairman of this work ... we understand that she plans to place boxes in public buildings . . where people may drop their used stamps . . . she is begging you to save them both at home and in business . . . Did you ever hear of a cheaper way to help in a great cause ? . . , so remember, before you throw that envelope into the wastebasket, to tear off the corner with the stamp. ... . We recall that when we were young, chestnut hunting was one of the major sports . . . and often we have felt a nostalgia for those happy autumn days . . . before the great blight stripped! the chest nut trees of life and left them standing like start sentinels in the woods and fields ; . . the power of nature defying man, sa to speak ... showing that in her ruthless moments what destruction she can bring ... . . we have regretted that the rising generation has known nothing of the thrill of climbing a chestnut tree ... of hearing the nuts fall . . . and watching: with all eyes in every direction to see where to- hunt them -.-then the fun of seeing who in the party could find the lion's share . . then the mem ory of those prickly burs comes to mind . . . now we are told by several persons in the community that from some of the stumps new branches are growing . and that in certain spots one can enjoy chestnut hunting . . . so maybe the children coming on will know on a small scale this joy. . V., We were tremendously interested in the answers to the "Voice of the People" last week ... and like wise surprised in keen interest most of those asked, manifested in their ' answers (one person felt disinclined to talk) . . .we were startled at Judge Frank Smathers' answer . . , for his great wisdom and how learned his is in such a versatile manner . . . we thought he would choose all three books of a very deep nature . . . and then when we began to ponder . . . it came to us how dumb we were . . . what books could better direct one how to live on a desert island than Robinson Cruso. . . . . : We recently everheajd a group of boys and men . . . giving the lowdown on certain faults of girls . . . they had a pretty lengthy list before they finished . . . among the habits were . . . yanking up stockings in public . . . pulling up garters . . . crooked stocking seams . . . repainting faces at any time or place ... the eternal habit of adjusting shoulder straps (they might be out of sight . . . but you were reminded of them) . . . and you'll have to admit they are all legitimate complaints . . . and no age limit to the guilty ones , . . but like most women we began to check for' masculine failings . . and we believe that if they balanced off, the scores would be about equal . . , now take this habit the boys have of pulling out a comb and operating on their sleek pompa dours ... at any time the urge comes over them . . . the present style of baggy pants calls for a lot of hitching up ... then this habit of waiting on the girls . did you ever know" a fellow who didn't have some urgent business ' if he had to wait any time on a , woman? . . , then the matter of gossip . . . they are never interested I in gossip of any kind . . . it's a wo man's game . . . but if you'll notice the next time you , happen to repeat something you have heard that comes in the class of gossip . . . you'll find you are given the most flattering attention , . . and just start something '. . . and have Post-War Industry After Emergency Bothers Economists By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist. SPREADING government orders for defense and lease-lend supplies among America's small producing concerns is an emergency policy just at present. It's more conven ient to make contracts with the comparatively few whaling big companies than with the multitude of pewees. Consequently Uncle Sam started out to deal with the mon sters ignoring the midgets. Shortly it became apparent that the giants huge as they were, weren't numerous enough to pro duce the desired rate. A thorough size-up of the situ ation, Conducted by . Commerce Secretary Jesse Jones, revealed that the little fellows, combined could produce more than the small group of big ones, if only they could get contracts. By including whales and minnows alike, it was evident that the government could considerably more than double national indus try's total output. Accordingly, suggested Director William S. Knudsen's Office of Pro duction Management. Let's hand out still bigger orders to the big companies, and then let each of t 7Z " Vi, 6 i, , !
