Spodumene Mine
NEW YORK A scramble to
locate and dig up the ores of the
world's lightest metal, lithium,
likely to be vital in making hy
drogen bombs, is expected Soon to
get under way and rival any gold
rush in history. The United States
Is rich In lithium, declares an ar
ticle in the September issue of
Popular Science Monthly, which
points put that the metal has
another military use of great po
tential importance, tn a soaplike
compound called lithium stearate.
it has made possible the develop
ment of a "wonder" grease that
lubricates well at temperatures
ranging all the way from 320 de
grees above zero to 60 below.
In this . country, lithium, light
enough to float In water, is found
principally in a white rock called
spodumene. Large deposits of
spodumene are being mined by
open-pit methods at Hill City, S.
D., and at Kings Mountain, N. C.
There is literally a mountain of
the ore available at the latter lo
cation, previously the site of at
tempts to mine both gold and tin.
U. S. production of lithium is al
ready shifting into high gear. The
Defense Production Administra
tion has called for 10,000,000
pounds of it a year by 1955.
Immediate objectives will be to
enlarge and broaden the curricu
lum of the business school, the
home economics department, and
the music department. On the pro
gram for the future will be add
ed courses In physics, chemistry,
and art, Including commercial art.

TO THE EDITOR
DeairSir! ?
I have no desire to get, into any
kind of controversy, especially
with a nevvspaper main. who. to
start with, has two Strikes on
you. but I must take you to task
for the following part of your
editorial In. the issue of August
7th, which editorial was entitled
"Two Extremes.'' rThey also re
membered that Senator Byrd. of
Virginia, in the halls of Congress
a great "don't spend" man does
not practice the same policy in
the. State of Virginia, controlled
for years by the Byrd machine
and over-loaded with -bureau.'
cracy." ?
Now I have been living in the
State of Virginia for more than
thirty-three years and except in
minor affairs I do riot believe
that there is a State in the Union
that liyes closer to the policy "if
you have not got the money to
pay for it, don't buy it," and
this policy counts up to a State
absolutely free from debt and at
the same time not burdened with
taxes paying for bonds; for ex
ample: last year we received a
15% refund on income taxes and
we have been notified of a 9%
reduction for this year..
When I first come to Virginia
Senator Byrd was a State senator
and from that time to this he has
been steadily against buying
something you did not have the
money to pay for, and as a result
in his recent bid for renomina
tion for U. S. Senator he won by
one of the largest majorities ever
given any .man for any office in
Virginia for ? the past thirty or
forty years. And this in the face
of the concentrated efforts of the
"fair deal", new deal", out-of
?state interference by so-called
Democrats, and the heads of the
National Labor Organizations,
but in all justice. I must say that
the rank and file of union labor
did not follow the out-of-state
leaders.
I have taken' very little part
in polities since leaving North
Carolina, but since coming to
Virginia I have followed Harry
Byrd politically very clos.ely, and
in my humble opinion, the rea
son ho has such a following is
because he is an up right Ameri
can citizen with no "isms" at
tached and always stands for
that which ho believes is beat for
the State of Virginia and the
United States.
Sincerely trusting that you
will accept what I have said in
a spirit of good fellowship, and
that with very best wishes to all
my Kings Mountain friends, and
kindest personal regards to you
and yours arid especially to your
mother and' father, I am
Yours sincerely,
Leslie McGinnis
Richmond, Va.
P. S. As an after-thought that
so-called bureaucray you men
tion; I can truthfully say that
whenever Harry Byrd gives a
man a pat on the back you can
rest assured he -is a Christian
gentleman and well prepared for
the office he aspires to.

Now that the rains have come,
many gardens plants including
dahlias and shrubs have broken
out into rapid growth again. This
is especially important for dahli
as because they have not had
much opportunity to make good
bush growth up to the present
time. That means that there will
not be so many blooms developed
before frost. This Is the time to
give them the last application of
fertilizer for the season. A large
handful of a good garden fertili
zer such as a b-8-6 or 5-1.0-5 around
each plant should be sufficient.
It should be applied about 12
inches away from the plant and
acratched into the surface soil.-.
From n6w until frost Is the best
part of the dahlia season. With
plenty of moisture, fertility, and
cool nights they will make a ra
pid growth. This will mean that!
you will have to stake them and
tie them up frequently so that
storms wil not break the plants
down. I
How can we keep dahlia blooms
from wilting after they are cut?
Iri the first place, some varieties
keep better than othrs. If you are
interested in cut flowers, you
should grow varieties that are
good for that purpose.
Many people advocate dipping
the stem ends In hot water, or
searing the stem ends with a
match, but I have found that the
best method is to cut the flowers
early in the morning or late in

the evening and immediately sink
the stems in deep cold water. In
an hour or two they may be
transferred to a vase for arrange
ment. Add some "Bloom-life" or
"Flora-life" to the water to pre
vent fouling. Add more water
when neended but 'o not change
the water daily ns is the custbm
for some kinds of flowers.
Do not place dahlias In the
breeze from open windows or elec
tric fans. That will .wilt them
very quickly.
In 1950, there wore 219,510
North Carolina farms with elec
tric power. In 1930 there were less
than 10.000.
