Black Sow Has Litter Of 16 Snow- White Pigs \ There'll probably be a lot of pork on the U. F. Clark farm, 1 Fines Creek, for a long time to come. His black Poland - China sow just had a litter of 16 snow-white pigs. The pigs are a cross of Pol and-China and OIC. Specialists point out that eight pigs for a sow of this breed is unusually fine. Two of the pigs were crushed by the mother, as she accidental ly rolled on them during dinner time. The runt of the litter died. Because of the lack of feeding ' facilities. Mr. and Mrs. Clark havr taken one of the smaller pigs for a pet and are bottle feed ing it, while two other pigs have been given to a son and daughter. This leaves the sow with 10 youngsters who never know when they have had enough to eat. The sow had six pigs in her ; first litter, and nine the second time, making a total of 31 pigs in three litters. When it is feeding time, and the 10 white pigs nestle up close to their black mother, it gives an impression of ten snowballs on a pile of coal. Haywood Leads All W.N.C.

Record Democratic Crowd 4 I Hears Sen. Scott At Rally | Rally Sidelights Senator W Kerr Scott will long remember "covering" Haywood county in the brief span of little ' more than an hour Thursday. He was escorted on a fast-moving > motorcade that carried him from ! the Buncombe-Haywood line, to 1 Canton, Bethel, Hazelwood, Way nesville, Clyde and back to Can ton. About 50 vehicles made up the ! motorcade. The Clyde school was decorat ed with bunting in the front, and stage. On the back curtain of the stage, in 3-foot letters in red, white and blue, were "Welcome Senator Scott." A pleasant surprise to many of j the Democrats was the large num ber of young people?many teen-, agers attending the rally. W. O. Byers, Glenn W. Brown 1 and Congressman George A. j Shuford all made mention in their introduction talks of the much publicized "Joe Smith." (See Rally Sidelights?Page 3) (See pictures. Pate 3 and Page 1) Senator W. Kerr Scott told Hay- j wood's largest political rally audi- ' ence at Clyde Thursday night, "We have a weak, wishy-washy foreign policy that is dictated by a \ man who doesn't know the differ ence between the brink of war and peace," as he referred to Sec retary of State Dulles. Senator Scott hit at several , members of the Eisenhower cabi- j net, but centered his most caustic remarks at Secretary Dulles, : whom he termed "widely traveled, but apparently poorly informed." | "One day Dulles tells us the I 1 United States is turning back the tide of Communism. The next day we get news that half of Indo china has been gobbled up by the Communists. "Only week before last the: American people were told there was good news in the Middle East. 1 In a matter of hours fighting [ broke out between Egypt and Israel. Either Secretary Dulles was pitifully ignorant about what was going on in that area, or he was deliberately misinforming the American people."
