RUSE
An Irish soldier in France during
the World War received a letter
from bis wife saying there wasn't
an able-bodied man. left, and she was
going to dig the garden herself.
Pat wrote at the beginning of his
taeoct letter: "Bridget, please don't
dig the garden; that's where the
guns are."
The letter was duly censored and
in Bhort while a load of meq in uniform
arrived 'at Pat's house and pro
ceeded to dig the garden from end
to end.
Bridget wrote to Pat that she did
not know what to do, the soldiers
had dug up every bit of the garden.
Pat's reply was short and to the
point: "Put in the spuds."--Health

Put Farm Machinery In
Shape, Says Weaver
Occasional bright sunshiny days re
mind farmers (hat spring and the
Jti-ll cropping ' seasou will soon be
here. I) S. Weaver, head of the agricultural
engineering department
at State College, savs no wis the
time to net the farm . machinery .
needed for spring and summer work;
in good shape.
W'uitfng until tire machine is need
ed is , very poor business, he s.ates.
It takes u little while, to order ana
obtain repair parts, and, consequent
ly. this Job can best be done at this
season before the rush begins.
Weaver
says every good farmer
has a shop where, minor repairs to
plows, combines, tractors, and oth
er equipment can be accomplished
utckly and economically. With (the
number of blacksmith shops in the
communities diminishing, it is more
important that the farmer make his
repairs in his own farm shop.
The coming electricity into rural
areas thru cooperative lines n"8t on-'

The little squib I had last week
about Ned and Ted created lots of
interest but everyone knew immediately
who I had reference to. P even
received one reply from Florida,
from Mrs. E. L. Campbell.
Mrs. Campbell has been keeping
in touch with happenings here by
reading The Herald. I received an
invitation from hef to spend my
honeymoon in the sunshine state,
Ijut I knew my bride was so tall
that she could not get under the
orange trees, so I had to decline the
invitation.

war atmosphere. A sign has been
placed in front of Blakely's post office
stating that Uncle Sam needs
'men for military service. It reminds
me of the world war days, I believe
t is a duplication of the placards
used during 1917-18.

Hi awakened and "renewed inter,-t
on the part of every one tRa'
centered oh the. fate of the idea for
a National Park status for life Battle
ground area. This resulted in
the creation of the Kings Mountain
N'atiouul Military Park in 1931. The
park was created by an Aet of Congress
Approved March 3. 193!. The
jirea of the park at that time was
it) acres, which had been dooaleci
the Federal Government by the
Kings Mountain Centennial ,t\ssociu
tiou. of which Miss Lesslic Witherspoon
of York. South Carolina was,
and still is, the President.
As wo arrive at the 10th AnniverUr.v
of the creation of the National
Military park, we.are struck by undoubted
signs of progress. When the
park was created in 1931. it was
under the supervision of the War Depart
inent. But in 1933, as a part of
tile New Deal Legislation, the small
but highly important King* Moantain
National Military Park was one
of several battlefield parks whin,
was transferred, from the War Department
to the Department of The
Interior, to be administered by The
National Park Service, which is the
Federal Agency administering all
the national parks of the United
States. ' . .
The first Superintendent of the
Kings Mountain National Military
Park was appointed in 1937. but the
park affairs had been administered
tor several years by the Coordinat
ing Superintendent at Yorktown, Va
The presenfc Superintendent wtas
transferred to this park after a twoyear
tour of duty at the well-known
Statue of Liberty, in New York Harbor.
In October. 1938. this park was
made an Independent establishment,
so far as concerns the Coordinating
Superintendent.
More facilities for the use of the
public can now be seen at the park
than ever before. A beautirul openair
Amphitheatre has been construe
ted. for the use of organized groups,
with a stage and a permanent-bench
seating capacity in excesB of 1,000.
This seating capacity can be largely
increased when the necessity arises."
Work is now being carried on
to build a water supply and sewerige
disposal system, as well as to
brisiK in electricity for power and
liKiit. and telephone service. Money
is available to place a bituminous
-urfaco on the crushed stone base
main park drive.
