Worthily Chosen
(The Charlotte Observer)
The ideal, typical mother of North Carolina
for 1945 has been selected and Mrs. P. P. McCain
of Sanatorium, has been chosen for that honor.
Thousands in the State who know Mrs. Mc
Cain will be in agreement that the recipient
of this distinction merits this preferment.
The wife of Dr. Paul McCain, superinten
dent and medical director of the North Caro
lina Sanatorium for Tuberculosis, and a greatly
beloved and honored physician and public ser
vant, is the mother of five children and one
who has looked well to her own household re
sponsibilities a good mother above everything
else.
Mrs. McCain, however, is also widely at
tached to public interests related to human wel
fare and social progress in North Carolina,
popular, intelligent, and efficient in all of the
leadership ranks into which she has been con
scripted. As the wife of one of the State's great-souled
physicians, as the mother of five sons and
daughters, one of whom has been for several
months reported missing in action in Europe,
and as a woman-citizen who has made large
contributions to our common-wealth, Mrs. Mc
Cain is worthy of the honor she has been given
and will accept it with appropriate humility
and modestv.

QUESTION: Do sirverfish breed
in the sink or bath tub?
ANSWER: No, is the answer giv
en by J. Myron Maxwell, in charge
of Extension entomology at State
College. He says that the silverfish
found in the sink or tub have fallen
in while crawling around on the
wall and ceiling of the room. They
breed in cracks and crevices around
the room and in old papers, books,
and the like. A request to Maxwell
will bring you a bait formula for
killing the pests. The bait material
works slowly and it may take sev
eral months to see results.
LEGAL NOTICES
POOLE'S MEDLEY
by D. Scott Poole.
The second World War has lasted
rea:ly seven years, if I can figure.
It started in 1938 with the invasion
of Poland by Germany. It has not
ended yet.
There are those who believe that
iM second V?0Tld War was due to
the failure of the United States
1c enter the League of Nations. A'A
other nations had joined it, e en
Germany, Japan and Italy. Europe
has not been out of war much of
the time sincethe beginning of the
Christian era.
The United States is the greatest
ration on earth, but it will not
long continue to be the greatest, for
war is destructive and expensive. In
rr,y opinion Europe will continue to
war periodically as she is able to do
to from this time on.
Many of our fellow-citizens are ad
vocating military training for the
youth of the country. If it has the
same affect on our sons it has had in
Germany, lets not have it. Our Na
tlcr.al Guard units afford opportunity
for tra:n:r.g an for fellowship one
w.th another and costs not so much.
sweetening than most people think.
A pound of sugar is worth n.or?
than a pound of molasses, but they
are not priced that way.
A dairy:nan cannot pay for his
feedbill for the money he gets for
his milk, nor can a chicken grower
pay for feed his chickens ate when
he sells his chickens.
It was reporter some months ago
that American troops found the hid
ing place of Germany's HIDDEN
wealth government money, and then
appropriated it to their own use. I
regret to hear such. Not for all
the wealth of the world would 1
want our nation's troops to be known
as rogues. Finding anything does
not bring to you a title to it.
borbed and laid waste, but I read
that the rich farming sections have
escaped damage from the war. So
those folks are not as bad off as
I thought. They are good fanners.
ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE
Having qualified as administrator of
the estate of Mrs. Bell Stubbs, de
ceased, late of Hoke County, this
is to notify all persons having claims
against said estate to present them
duly verified according to law to
the undersigned at his home near
Raeford on or before the 26 day
of April. 1946, or this notice will be
pleaded in bar of their recovery. All
persons indebted to said estate will
please make immdiat payment.

I would like for you to find an
other county with fifteen thousand
inhabitants that has as many com
r:iss.tr.ed officers as has Hoke coun
tv. National Guard training did

John T. Sinclair and others told
me a Confederate soldier did not
enter a home while they were in
Maryland and Pennsylvania. They
were not rogues. I feel prou.1 that
my father did not take a thing to
eat, although he was very hungry
while returning from the Gettysburg
battle.
Farmers along the roadside offered
to hire father, insisted on his ac
ceptance of the job, to help them
harvest their small grain. He said
that would be desertion. They of
fered him S3 to $4 a day.
The great trouble in fighting the
Japs is they know those islands in
the Pacific Ocean and they are ac
climated. You read that America
lost eight men from diseases where
they lost one from lead.
The people of the United States
have new and better methods of farm
ing and soon the methods wil, be
more improved, cost of production
will be reduced. Labor-saving ma
chinery will make money for farmers.

informed, they thought, that Sherman
had left a number of horses in the

horses there, and '-' people would

Farm Questions
QUESTION: When should I plant
Thrift and Phlox?
ANSWER: Plants should be set in
tne fin I so that they may become
established and bloom in the spring,
says J. G. Weaver, associate pro
fessor of horticulture at State Col-
lege. These plants may be started
from seed but it is more satisfactory
to buy the plants from a nursery.

Will you hold a '
FAT SALVAGE BEE
for your country?
HERE IN AMERICA, when a neigh
bor needs help, all the folks
pitch in and give him a hand.
Many a harvest would have
been lost without the help of
an old-fashioned husking bee.
Right now, your country is
calling on you, the women in
towns and on the farms, to
hold a fat -salvage bee and help
meet a critical fat shortage.
TO MEET THE NEEDS of our
country, used fats are desper
ately wanted. Scrape pans. Skin
soups and ravies. Save meat
trimmings and table scraps ; once
a week melt them down. Your
butcher will give you 2 red
points and up to 4 cents for every
pound. If you have any diffi
culty, call your County Agent
or local Salvage Committee.
Needed this year: 100,000,000 more pounds
of used fats!

BROWN-OUT LIFTED!
Official word has just been received from Washington that the
brown-out has been lifted. Restrictions regarding lighting of store
windows, signs, displays and other commercial, ornamental or advertising
lighting have been removed. No longer need Carolina towns be hidden
in the shadows of darkness. So turn on your lights! Make your home town
the sparkling town it was before the brown-out went into effect. There's
plenty of electricity.
