Rambling Around
Odd Bits of This, That and the Other
By W. CURTIS RUSS
Charles Ray has a story about
angels that made such a hit when
he welcomed the REA convention
here last week, that he had to re
peat it again that night at the
barbecue.
Glenn Wyatt, stationed in an
army camp in New Orleans, left a
copy of The Mountaineer on his
bunk one day after reading it, and
shortly afterwards a soldier from
Hendersonville passed by, recog
nized the paper and looked up the
owner. That night when he foudl
Wyatt, they renewed friendships of
years past, when Wyatt was a star
on the Waynesville football team
and played during his high school
days against the Hendersonville
Bearcats.
Sgt. Joe Palmer, a Marine in the
South Pacific, has been through
several stiff battles against the
Japs, and had been exceedingly for
tunate to escape without a scratch
until the Marines landed on the
shores of Titian. Sgt. Palmer and
a buddy were creeping up the beach
when a Jap sniper opened fire. The
bullet shattered Palmer's ammun
nition container, sending a piece of
the metal crashing into his right
arm. His buddy looked up just in
time to see the Jap grin then
there was a burst of fire from the
Yankee's rifle and from then on
everything was silent where the
grinning Jap had been sitting.
From across the knoll came a rain
of bullets, ami one of these caught
Palmer's bu'lily in the arm.
Jimmy Moore, manager of the
Haywood REA, makes a good mas
ter of ceremonies. He has lots of
talent for remembering names, and
speaks with east, although admits
privately that he does not feel at
home before a crowd.
James G. McKinley has three
ducks that are the foundation of
a hotly waged contest between two
membership teams of the Hazel
wood Boosters Club. Mac has
promised his ducks for the dinner
if his side loses. This has caused
some speculation, and concern
among members of his team, for
fear they might deliberately fall
down on the job just in order to
get a duck dinner.
Charlie Grennell, a professional
photographer of Lake Junaluska
and Daytona Beach, made the best
color photograph of Mrs. Roosevelt
that we have seen to date. Charlie
makes a specialty of scenes and
flowers. His color sunset scenes
surpass anything we have had come
our way. Charlie gets such depth
to his pictures, and the results are
amazing.
Rev. H. G. Hammett's leaving to
take up work as postor of The Tem
ple Baptist church in Durham,
brought about the revival of the
pulpit committee of the First Bap
tist church again. There is one
thing about being on the pulpit
committee, you certainly have to
listen to lots of extra sermons, and
remember them. You see the Bap
tist send out a committee to in
vestigate prospects, and if the man
fills the needs then he is offered
the pastorate of the church' if he
consents. The pulpit committee is
like F.B.I. , they have to track down
every tip given about a new man or
prospect. So far, about 15 names
have been turned in as prospects
for pastor here. Not all of these
will be heard, as some facts and
inside facts are gotten before the
committee goes out on "the hunt."
The Mountaineer hag available,
without charge, a blotter with the
tabulation of the presidential elec
torial vote from 1184 to 1940. It
is interesting to note that during
that time, six states have gone
Democratic every time, they are:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Lou
isiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina. (North Carolina has
gone Democratic every time ex
cept in 1928, she went into the Re
publican column.) Vermont is the
only state with a perfect Republi
can score. In 1920, 1924 and 1928
the score was almost 100 per cent
Republican, and in 1932, 1936 and
1940 just the opposite.
One of these are yours for the
asking.
State College Hints
By Rath Current, State Home
Demonstration Agent N. C.
State College.
Sewing needles will not rust if
they are stored in a well-corked
glass bottle or jar to which a
drop of machine oil may be placed
from time to time.
A nut pick can be a handy piece
of sewing equipment. The blunt
end can be used as an aid in turn
ing belts, while the pick end can
be used to pull out the cornt rs
after the belt is turned. It is al.o
handy for pulling out basting
threads.
A scrapbag made of mosquito
netting, or any other open-mesh
fabric, makes it possible to find the
particular piece of material one
may be looking for without empty
ing the entire contents of the bag.
Those perfectly good preserves
or jellies which somehow do accu
mulate in the cupboard are splen
did to use in gingerbread and spice
cake.
Spices should be kept away from
the kitchen stove and in closed cans
to best retain their spiciness.
To insure straight edges on scrim
curtains, fold each curtain down
the center and baste the edges to
gether before washing. Remove
the basting after the curtains are
ironed.

a da in June very rare."
Landlady: "Yeah, well your ac
count is like a, day in March
very unsettled.''

TIMELY
Farm Questions
and Answers
Question: How can I supply
wood for war needs and maintain
enough growing timber for after
the war?
Answer: Extension foresters of
State College suggest that the first
step is to cut out worthless and
low-quality trees in the average
farm woods. Second, cut only the
larger trees because logging and
milling costs will be lower. Then,
take advantage of the pulpwood
market by converting tree tops and
whole trees, that will not make
sawlogs, into pulpwood. In man
aging mixed stands of pine and
Canton To Have

and 3 ounces of boric acid to 2
quarts of hot water, says special
ists of the State College Extension
Service. The most convenient way
to apply the fireproofing solution
is to use it instead of plain water
when you sprinkle clothes for iron
ing. Also, be sure your iron is
moderately hot. If the fabric is
damp or the iron too hot, you will
find the mixture depositing on the
iron rather than saturating the
material.
hardwood, selective logging yields
the greatest dividends.
Question : Can you give me a
simple solution for fireproofing
fabrics in the home?
Answer: Use 7 ounces of borax
Question: Why are so many
farmers getting interested in the
growing of alfalfa?
Answer: One of the reasons, say
State College Extension specialists,
is that it provides four cuttings of
hay per year and the average yield
per acre for North Carolina is al
most two tons, far ahead of other
average hay yields. Many grow
ers have cut more than two tons
of lespedeza hay per acre this
year while some growers have cut
four tons of alfalfa. It has also
been discovered that about 30
pounds of borax per acre will con
trol alfalfa "yellows" and greatly
increase yields, when applied with
other fertilizer. The borax lasts for
several years. Alfalfa also gives
a good hay crop early in the
spring when it is often sorely need
ed.
