f Society For Prevention Of Dogs & Cats A Commissar Is not a est fancier In Russia these days and neither Is a dog a Russian's best friend. The Soviet Com munists are on a pet purge - killing thou sands of dogs and cats across the country. The reason is not surprising; the ani mals eat too much food, the food-poor Communists who have had little hesitancy In carrying out massacres of people don't bat an eye about massacres of pets. You can't even lead a dog's life behind the Iran Curtain, it sounds like a play on words, but b Is true. "isvestla," the official organ of the Soviet government, reported a three-day bloodbath In the Crimean city of MM-ch. Thousands of dogs were shot In the streets in broad daylight, while health workers killed other [ pets with Iron pikes ?In the from and back yards of horrified pet-lovers. The "London Times" reported that cat massacres were carried out in the central ( ASlan city of Alma Ata, and in Sukhumi, In the Caucasus. In the Ukrainian city of Kharkov, health workers put out special bins in courtyards as a dump for the bodies of stray cats. Appeals for help from the populace were made on television. The last conference of Soviet veterinary surgeons In Moscow gave an Indication of the extent of the pet massacres. Each delegation issued a report on the number of dogs which were "exterminated" In its district. A Russian economist had previously worked out an estimate of food consumption by animals. Converting this to cost in ru bles, he showed the great "advantage" to the state In killing Russian pets. The mas sacre has a role tor the chQden too; Uk rainian boys and girls are being given les sons In, "Why I should not play with ani mals." Also numerous animal shelters have been closed down with no explanation. When you read about the American lady who, some time ago, left a sizable inheri tance for the care and preservation of her two cats It just goes to show you that the pet In our land has more freedom than peo ple In Russia. And that Is not a cany re mark! D. E.

So now I look forward ed and I also know that the calendar says It Is September, but only did 1 realize that It is truly fall when I saw the beautiful gum tree just below the Kenansvllle Elementary School, Depending upon whlcn way the light shines you see a glorlus burst of deep red leaves, or they may be purple, but they are beautiful. The Sugar Maples in Carol Murphy's yard are beginning to turn yellow and each day they are just a bit nearer tne vivid orange that can be found only on a Sugar Maple tree.

There Is no re cord of arty splits in the his tory and tne number of exclu slons has been small. The meetinghouse which serv ed the charter members a cen tury ago Is still serving, th ough it was remodeled In 1907 and brick veneered in 1935. The educational building was com pleted In 1955. Of the ministers who have served the church all have made a worthy contribution to the history. The first pastor, Al fred Guy, was a sort of a man of the world before his call to preach. He had unusual ability in playing the fiddle and was much in demand for the dances of the day but when he decid ed God wanted him to preach, he set aside the fiddle, once and for alL what he lacked In education was compensated by oratory abilities. William Marshall Kennedy won distinc tion as a leader in education as well as a pastor. Brttt ^added^the la **** J'ber * ? WWI? tasvs Inner & G. Covington, H. McAlphln, J.N. Stalllngs, W. B.

I?WU sands of children return to school in September, the dairy processors of North Carolina will launch a month-long cam paign for child safety. Tne campaign, known as Cru sade Child Safety . is spon sored by the North Carolina Dairy Products Association. UTCr UOUT YWHWtO, UC~ live ring Nature's most nearly perfect food, will display bum per strips reading, "CAUTION, A CHILD IS NEAR." Robert L. Burrage, Jr., of Cabarrus Creamery Company, Concord, and State Chairman of the Crusade, noted that this will mark die ninth consecutive vear In which the Tar Heel dairy processors hare spon sored a September campaign to protect children from traffic hazards. ' The dairy processors of oin state believe sincerely In pro tecting our most valuable pos session - our children," Bur rage declared. In addition to the bumper stickers displayed by dairy pro ducts vehicles, individual dairy plants will conduct safety programs for their employees, emphasizing carefuldriving habits and the need to reduce the tragic death toll on our streets and highways. Burrage pointed out that dur ing 1965, there were 134 chil dren between the ages of one and 14 killed on foot and on bicycles on North Carolina streets and highways. "These losses are tragic and many of them could have been avoided," he declared. "Sep SEPTEMBER 1.1966 The acreage-poundagetobac co bill which the Congress en acted rather hastily in time for the 1965 selling season has this year begun to make Its full Impact felt and Its severest critics must admit that while It still has some "bugs' which can and should be worked out It is far superior to acreage control along. On the Border Market after 16 days of sale, the average price stood at $68.63 per hun dred as compared to $65.10 after 16 days of sale last year. Much more Important Is the fact that only 0.7% of the offerings on the border after 16 days Had Oeen taken under loan by the Stabilization Corporation as compared to 7.8% last year. in addition It Is extremely significant that as of'July 1, 1966, at the beginning of this marketing season, the carry over of flue-cured tobacco to taled 2,439 million pounds be low the previous year. After the first five days sales on the Eastern belt this year, tied tobacco had averaged $70 J7 for the season, an all-time high and only 0.9% had gone to sta bilization as compared to 9.5% a year ago. I am greatly gratified with i ifiii'sm ?t ii .fc-r*.- and 4th and 5th verses of Genesis, that "God divided the light from the darkness, and "God called the light Day and, the darkness He called Night."

Ed Doolittle was of the opin ion them NASA folks wasn't actual hoping to turn night into day, that they was spending that 9250,000 to keep in style with a heap of other Guvernment agen cies. Fer instant, said Ed, he had saw where a university called Georgia Tech in Atlanta had got a 18,967 grant to study the tadpole. Bug Hookum butted In to say we got a heap of things to be thankful fer, that it could have been a grant to study the ele phant and if a tadpole cost 98,987, the taxpayer would prob able be hit fer about $200,000 on a elephant deal. All the fellers. Mister Editor, was agreed with the good Par son that the Great Society ain't got no business messing with the Book of Genesis. One of the fel lers, and I ain't going to call his name at this time, allowed is how the Book of Genesis was his favorite chapter in the Bible. He said it was reported in Gene sis that the Lord created the sun, the moon, the earth, and when He got everthing created bat was needed, woman was nreated last.

The good Parson reported them NASA space fellers had awarded $125,000 to the Boeing aircraft company to study ways of making the sun shine at night. Farthermore, he said, they had give Westinghouse another $125, 000 fer the same project to make certain they git quick re sults.
