The fifth Sunday after Easier has since the fourth century been observed as Rogation Day in the Christian church and has been con sidered a day for emphasizuig the spiritual values of rural life, the seed, and the soil. In move recent years, and especially in the non liturgical churches, it is generally observed as "Rural Life Sunday,” This year it falls on May 30. Dr. Benson Y. Landis of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, reports that the oc cosion will be observed this year by thousands of rual, town and country churches; they will em phasize the importance of "plant ing time” and the cooperation of God and man in the process from seed to havest. Special worship services, exchange of pulpits be tween city and country, and dis cussion groups will mark the day. The "victory gardener” will also learn something of the spiritual significance of what he is doing, it is said. The Church Committee for Chi na Relief, and United China Re lief have appropriated a total of k •>‘Ji;?.000 :■> bo for disaster relief ia Honan Province, and in nearby stricken areas ot China. E ei t ies< sent more than half a million dollars to relieve famine : nong Honan’s population. A large portion of the more recent appropriation will be used to put chase seed; since g >od ratns have recently fallen, it is believed that a quick ami good harvest can he garnered in this famine area. The relief will he distributed by ' atho lic and Protestant missionaries.» Drouth and famine in this province has directly affected >00,000 people, ace .rding to Bishop Yupin. Many hundreds of thousands have migrated; but others are living on tree leaves and weed roots, while some sell their children rather titan see them starve. "Thousands upon thousands ofi refugees are passing through this c:ty to: tinually.” writes Rev, Frederick Bankhardt, of Ciweiand, Ohio, Methodist missionary in Ye::p::,g. C! u.a. "Among them ale many missionaries who, like the Chine.-.', have lost all they had. They have hardly enough clothes to wear. Thus far we have been able • remain here. At times it looks very serious and we wonder if we will have to join the long line of refugees . . . But don't think we are waiting around to see what will happen! Chinese and missionaries are busy at Kingrom work: preaching, teaching, and healliag. There are times when si ren.- send us to the dugouts, and who: raiding planes fly overhea i. But when they are gone we return to our work.” Blackleg Cattle Disease Becoming More Prevalent The blackleg disease, which af fects cattle, sheep and goats, is becoming more prevalent, says Dr r. D. Grinnells, Experiment Sta tion Veterinarian at North Caro lina State College. He reports that cases have oc curred frequently in the mountain countie- of North Carolina and that the disease may be expected to be brought in from other Sta tes due to the added traffic in livestock now taking place. The trouble is widespread in livestock areas, especially in the “range country” and in the MissUsinpi Valley. According to Grinnells, the di sease is caused by a spore-form ing germ or bacteria. The spore lives in the soil and once a past ure area is infected, the disease is liable to reappear yearly in susceptible animals, unless they arc* vaccinated. The losses are lar gely in cattle. The disease attacks cattle from four months to two years of age. Grinnells says, and the first no ticeable symptom is lameness. This is generally followed by a swelling, with a high temperature and marked depression, usually re sulting in death within a few days. Although treatment for this di sease is not highly successful, vet erinarians have saved some anim als by using large amounts of blackleg serum Where the disease is known to exist, the. animal should lie vaccinated in late winter j or the early spring months. Ex perience shows that an oC.-asanal death follows vaccination. Although blackleg is not yet a j serious threat to the lives'ock in dustry of North Carolina, out | breaks should be guarded aga.nst cautioned Dr. Grinnells. State College Hints For Homemakers BY kith current State Home Demonstration Agent North Carolina State College The turnip is a double action vegetable. The roots make good winter fare - and the tops fur nish greens that are rich in ' ita mins and minerals. Every daily menu should include at least one green leafy vegetable, as turnips, mustard greens, or collat'd-. Croons top all foods insofar as vitamin A is concerned. One -cry ing, or one half cup of tut nip greens will provide three times our daily requirement of this vitamin. Turnip greens rate high as a .f calcium.

NOSE DROPS IV/iatfondofa house would you pul hi/v? •^^^FTER IKt WAR, some!'.c going to put up a new house on that pretty rise of ground that overlooks the river bend just outside of the town line. Nothing elaborate. Just a pretty little house snuggled into the tree.; as though it belonged there. Somebody else may buy the old Ward farm. There should be many a good day’s hunting in ;hose rolling fields and bark through the woods >ver to the State road. Fixed up a little bit—and t shouldn't take much money—it would be a '.’able place for a man and his family. -I’es, somebody’s going to buy it. Somebody’s iv ays corning along, with a dream and a little money, and doing the things we’d promised our selves we'd do someday. But this time, why can’t that “somebody” be ' you? Look . . . Suppose you put 10 percent of your pay into War Bonds. At least 10 percent— more if you possibly can. And keep putting it away putting it away—putting it away. Week after week — payday after payday. Here's what happens: Before you know it, you get so you hardly miss taat money. And if you do miss it, you’ve got something better to replace it—the knowledge that you, personally, are helping to insure a steady flow ol planes and tanks and guns to the men who fight. The knowledge that you, personally, have toed the mark and are helping to win the war. Then, one of these days, when peace has come , again, the money you’ve put away starts coming back to you. And bringing more money with it you get four dollars for every three that you put in! When that day comes, you can get out your i -ncil and start figuring just what kind of a house you'll put on the river bend. But to be sure that day does come, you’d better do this: You’d better get out your pencil right now and start figuring how you can save at least 10 percent of every single pay check with U. S. War Bonds! SAVE WITH U.S.WAR BONDS EVERYBODY...EVERY PAYDAY... AT LEAST 10% This space is a contribution to America's all-out war effort by Mitchell Lumber Company Weldon, North Carolina
