.V' '■ >-■« jer'i THUBSDAY, DECEIUBEE16,1948 Poole’s BY D. SCOTT POOLE TBE NEWS-JOURNAL |g''x r- W; w^'- - The wets say “Prohibition: does not prohibit”, so. why repeal”? Were they to confess that they wanted to make money by selling intoxicants, they would not be respected citizens. • A.B.C. stores pretend to mean Alocholic Beverage Control. TDiat word' “control” has wraped many a man’s honest judgement. Fact. There were two military compa nies guests of the city, and an added attraction was the fireworks that night. It was 10 o’clock that nigh ibefore the train left Fay etteville, and the Fayettville Ob server reported that there was not a smgle arrest for drunfceness that day. % t The Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad for some years, you re member, had its terminal at Hope Mills, and during that time, they ran an excursion from' Aberdeen to Fayetteville, to a Fourth of July celebration. There was said to 'have been fifteen thousand people visitors in Fayetteville that day. It is being discovered that Alco holics Anonymous is not now suf ficient to care for the victims of King Alcohol, as useful as that organization has proven to be. Other organizations must be found to assist in this rescue work; Martin McLeod^ of lower Mont gomery county, was 6 feet, 8 in ches tall. He moved to Robeson and lived the remamder of his life at Alma. There were more arrests made in Fayetteville last October for drunkeniess than was ever known there, so said the Fayetteville Ob- surver, and that paper charged it to a lack of wine nd beer. 1 be lieve it should have been charged to an excessive use of alcoholic drinks. Alcohol is a habit forming drug, and the dirty stuff has a way of picking the nicest, clean- Pete Bowden, born and reared near Timber land, Hoke County, was six feet, ten inches tall when he left here for East Cumberland County whn he was 18 years old. CHRISTMAS PARTIES AHEAD! John Dawkins, weighted 375 pounds when he was 18. He weighed 5&0 when h*e was fully grown. He ditched in Drowning Creek swamp for a living. State College Hints To Fann Homemakers Possibly not enough home makers are aware of their prestige in affairs financial. These statistics' dhould bolster us: women control 70 to 80 per cent of the nation’s wealth; they own 50 per cent of the stock in large corporations, 57 per cent of savings bank deposits and make 42 per cent of all income tax returns; they do 85 per cent of the buying for home and family, and directly influence the other 15 per cent. With that much money passing through their fingers in one way or another, it’s up to the homemakers to accumulate as much financial wisdom as they can for this big responsibility they carry in getting their money’s worth. OccassionaHy starch sticks to your iron. This happens most frequently when ironing curtains or loosely woven materials, and it’s due to the fact that there’s not enough material to absorb the starch. A very fine non-abrasive cleaner or some fine steel wool rubbed lightly over the hoe wifi re move all of the starch. If you have trouble with starch sticking on the iron from regular cotton garments, it may be due to the fact that the water was not boiling rapidly be fore pouring it into the starch This is impoi"tant as starch not thoroughly cooked before going in to the fabric will cook when it contacts with the heat of the iron and then peel off the clothes and cling to the hot iron. Sprinkling starched clothes for ironing is very important if you want the finished garment to look right. Heavily starched clothes should be damper than lightly strached or unstarched clothes. It is important to sprinkle the Farmers’ Cash Receipts Hii^ier Than Last Year North Carolina farmCTS are re ceiving more money for both their crop and their livstock enterpriee* this year, says Moyle S. WllUaiwi, farm management .specialist at State College.

In North Carolina, the ero# percestage was 77 and the ^livw- stock percentage 23.

John Batten, in Montgomery county, built his residence over a good sized creek, and lived more than fifty years in that house. Folks made cane mills of wood, altogether, and the rollers creaked loudly when they ground- cane on them. They had to run the cane thrO'Ugh the mill two or three times.
