My dearest Son:
You have been with me every
minute since the telegram came
this morning. I have held your
tiny hand while you took your first
toddling footsteps. Then in no
time at all, I was brushing down
your rebellious curls for your first
trip to school. Then came time for
your college days and your first
sweetheart. She was a lovely girl
and will always hold a daughter's
place in my heart.
You were the nearest to me,
though, the day you held me close
within your arms and tried to
Jomfort me while we both said
jood bye to your father. Then I
watched you with your head held
high, uniformed and wearing the
ingle bar on your shoulder, wave
to me as the train carried you
away on the first lap of your Great
Adventure.
We had a wonderful day togeth
er today, you and I, Son. And as
the sun bega nto sink in the land of
forgetfulness I decided, suddenly,
fcow I could show my appreciation
f such a son as I had.
Thanksgiving being right here
with us, I am going to invite all
the mothers of those boys who
were your buddies in the bye-gone
days. They all live right around
wie and most of them are alone,
their boys working side by side
with Victory. We'll have a dinner
like the good old times, dear;
turkey, all the trimmings, those
sweet pickles you always smacked
your lips over. And I'll bake some
f those apple pies you loved.
Remember that apple tree down
by the old well? We called that
well our "Wishing Well", and we'd
peer down into its unfathomable
dimness and call out, "Grant me
this wish, please, well," and we'd
make pretend the hollow sound
that came back was the wish com
ing true. Wasn't it fun? And 111
always remember the last time you
and I went down there and wished.
My wish was a prayer and you
wouldn't tell me what yours was.

Producers of early white pota

return as a year ago and about 17
cents a hundred-wt ight above the
legal minimum price, it is announc
ed by the Office of Price Adminis

ever, consumers will find that the
average cost of this early crop of
potatoes will be the same as retail
prices of last season. The action

NEW CEILING PRICE LISTS
FOR RETAILERS
Supplemental ceiling price lists
that will include al the changes
that have been made in the prices
of dry groceries since issuance of
the current quarterly community
ceiling price lists will soon be for
warded to food retailers in most
ar.as, the Office of Price Adminis
tration announces. Objectives for
the additional lists is to make it
easier for retailers and consumers
to keep track of changes in ceil
ing prices. Under this plan it will
only be n.cessary for grocers to
post two lists for dry groceries
the quarterly list and this supple
mentinstead of the larger num
her of separate postings previously
required. Thus it will be easier for
housewives to find the price of an
item.
MORE LOW COST SHOES SEEN
An increased production of low
cost shoes of rationed types for
men, women and children is antici
pated by the War Production Board
through relaxation of quality and
quota restrictions. It is expected
that better values will thus be
made available to the public. The
amended order tliminates price
line and quota restrictions on foot
wear under certain price levels.
The order affects shoes selling at
about to men, $3 to $3.50 for
woiik n. and ?2.75 to $3 for children.
ARMY RELEASES PACIFIC
AREA MAIL
Families of soldiers engaged in
operations in the Philippines will
soon be receiving batches of mail
that have been delayed for security
reasons during the period preced
ing the invasion of these islands.
Some 400,000 letters and a large
number of parcels were impounded.
This mail originated with units
now engaged in American Army
operations in the Philippines. Some
of the letters date as far back as
last July.
State REA Plans
Post-War Growth
Plans are underway for a ?28,
000,000 post-war expansion pro
gram by REA borrowers in North
Carolina, says D. S. Weaver, head
of the agricultural engineering de
partment at State College.
This post-war program, he says,
would bring electricity to 71,200
unserved rural consumers within
three years after materials and
manpower become available for
large-scale rural power line con
struction. Eighteen million dollars of this
total would be used to build dis
tribution lines and $10,000,000 to
finance generation and transmis
sion facilities, installation of
plumbing and electrical equipment
on farms and in rural homes, and
the improvement of existing rural
electric systems.
This state program is to be part
of a proposed national REA fi
nancing plan totaling $579,000,000
which, in turn, is part of a pro
jected five-year program of rural
electrification by all agencies,
REA-financed and others.
REA estimates that the five
year program would bring electric
service to 3,655,000 rural establish
ments and stimulate a total mar
ket for goods and services amount
ing to more than $5,500,000,000.
In addition to more than one
billion dollars for power lines, this
estimate includes amounts that
would be expended for wiring,
electrical appliances and plumbing
by consumers receiving service for
the first time and by consumers
already on existing rural electric
lines, Weaver says.
Down in Arkansas a shiftless
character piled into bed one night
after a coon hunt, with his shoes,
clothes and all on. After a while
his wife shook him:

Allow Pastures To
Rest During Winter
Pasture grasses need to store up
food during the winter months so
as to make a quick start next
spring and therefore all livestock
should now be removed from per
manent pastures, says Dr. R. L.
Lovvorn, forage crop agronomist
of the Agricultural Experiment
Station at State College.
Alfalfa needs to go into winter
quarters with several inches of
growth to produce best yields. For
the same reason, grasses need pro
tection and a chance for develop
ment that will bring quick growth
in the spring.
"Grasses which have been pro
tected by brush and litter during
the winter, make the quickest
growth in the spring and provide
the most grazing," according to
Lovvorn.
He points out that cattle cause
a large amount of physical damage
to the pasture during the winter
and that it takes quite some time
in the spring for the grasses to
recover from this bad treatment
and put out new growth.
Cattle shouid oe removed from
the pasture about the time of the
first frost," Lovvorn says. "If this
is done, the grass can build up a
winter reserve of food that will
enable it to bring earlier grazing
in the spring and also more graz
ing. The same principle is involv
ed as the removal of cattle from
the pasture during long, dry per'
ioils during the summer. Perma
nent pastures need rest periods for
best production."
