Member Of Gun Crew Who Fired
1st U. S. Shot In War Known Here
On May 28th, The Mountaineer
published a two column picture of
a gun crew on the destroyer Ward
Burrows, with the explanation that
the crew had fired the first shot
from an American gun in this war.
The crew went into action imme
diately after Jap planes started
bombing Pearl Harbor on Decem
ber 7th.
Little did The Mountaineer
realize that one of the men in that
picture had a wide circle of friends
and relatives in Haywood.
A letter this week from his moth
er, Mrs. F. H. Bullock, of Fal
mouth, Va., revealed that the man
in the center was her son, Har
wood, who has been in Honolulu
for two years. He is 24, and the
grandson of W. Henderson Jones,
and the late Mrs. Jones.
Gunner Bullock has visited fre
quently in this county.
His mother heard from him two

Ned Moody Has Thriving
Fur Farm On Soco Gap
Road; Has Four Kinds of
Animals. tj
One horse, ground up fine
bones and all,
A sure enough horse, and this
is no joke.
It is just the usual order from
Ned Moody, as he prepares to feed
his 145 fur bearing animals for
the next three weeks. The husky
little rascals are .now ' eating .a
third of a horse a wek, and thrive
on it.
Mr. Moody is operating the only
fur farm in Haywood. He has it
established at Moody Farm, on the
Soco Gap road, and right now he
is busy getting pelts ready for
the June auction sale in New
York.
Mink makes up the larger part
of his animals. There are now 108
on the farm. Each in a separate
cage, about two feet square and
six feet long. Mink, as you prob
ably know, have very little love for
each other, and have to be kept
separate. Otherwise they would
get into each other's fur, and that
would mean a loss to the owner.
Mink grow fast, and when their
eyes open at five or six weeks, they
are half grown. At six months
they have reached their maturity,

Citizens Average
Over 11 Pounds Of
Canning Sugar
An average of 11 and one-half
pounds plus a fraction of a pound
of sugar for canning purposes
was granted citizens in the Way
nesville area during the two-day
canning sugar registration held
last week, according to Miss Winnie
Kirkpatrick, clerk of the ration
ing board.
A total of 197,000 pounds was
allotted in the area, which was
based on the number of cans of
fruit and berries put up last year.
This total represents 3,341 units
or families, which in turn rep
resents around 17,000 individual
signers for war rationing cards.
This average of 11 and ope-half
pounds and a fraction over would
allow for individual consumption
dozens of jars of fruits and ber
ries, a nice number of glasses of
jelly, or a parcel of one's pet
preserves.
The Waynesville area of the ra
tioning board includes the follow
ing communities: Waynesville,
Saunook, Allen's Creek, Hazelwood,
Maggie, Dellwood, Lake Junaluska,
Rock Hill, Fines Creek, Crabtree,
Mt. Sterling, Cataloochee and the
Pigeon street colored section.
While the exact figures of the
Canton area were not available, it
was learned that they ran the
Waynesville area a close second,:
indicative that the sweet tooth of
the Haywood county citizens will
not suffer even in face of sugar
rationing.
