"The basis of our Government be in* the eplnlon of the people, the very first ob jective should be to keep that right, and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without gov ernment, I should not hesitate a mo ment to choose the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive theee papers and be capable of reading them." ?Thomas Jefferson. THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1946 THE EVERYDAY COUNSELLOR Rev. HERBERT SPAUGH, D. D. Hatred hurts the hater. It hurts him much more than the one hated. The trouble with this conclusion is that it, requires thought to reach it, and when we fall victims to rage or hate, we lose our power to think correctly. It is written that, whom the gods would destroy, they first enrage. When you get mad, you are on the way toward throwing away your common sense and judgfnent. I can't recall ever having done anything under the heat of anger that I did not have to come back and undo, and then do over. Your experience has probably been the same. Having had a temper is no excuse for losing it, in spite of the fact that many so defend themselves. He who has a strong temper, but holds it under control will accomplish far more than that one who is lemper less. The higher steam pressure in a boiler, the more power it will gen erate. When the fires of anger grow cold and crystalizc into hate, that is a terrible thing. Our Lord was merciful toward the sins of sudden passion, but relent less against those resulting from cold calculation or hate. He who suffers from hate in his hkart is indeed to be pitied. He is on the way toward destroying the mainspring of his life. When faith, hope and love go out of a life, there is little else which matters. What would there be to ' life if there were no one to love except self, nothing to which to look for ward, no one to be trusted? ' Those of you who may be having some trouble at home, and who think that it would all be needed if you could just walk out of it, pause and think hard. It might not be so nice afterwards. The other day I was going home with several packages in my hands. 1 was met by an unmarried friend, who said, "When you go home is the time you know that you are married; when your wife asks if you brought the bread, the thread, the boy's shoes. Then after supper, only to be reminded that the ashes must be taken out and the door-bell fix ed ? yes, you know you are mar ried. When I go home, 1 can sit down at once in complete relaxa tion." Then before 1 could frame a suit able reply, he continued thoughtful ly, "But going home and having no one to disturb me after a while be comes monotonous. Sometimes I wish that there were someone that cared whether I came home or not.'1 Life without love is empty. Hate kills love. Remember the Scrip ture, "Be ye angry and sin not; let not the sun go down on your wrath." RHUBARB LEAVES POISONOUS Although the succulent stems or stalks of the rhubarb plant have long been used for springtime sauce and pie, the leaves are poisonous because they contain so much oxalic acid in soluble form, the U. S. dep artment of agriculture warns. Numer. ous cases of illness and even some deaths have been reported in both Europe and the United States from eating rhubarb leaves cooked as greens. Though oxalic acid is pre sent in the stalks, it is in such small amounts and mostly in the form of insoluble salts so that it does not create a hazard. Rhubarb leaves may be put to use to brighten dark aluminum pans, however. Boil leaves and wrfter in the discolored pan or kettle a few minutes. Then wash the pan thoroughly with soap and water. Senators from cotton states are supporting the three and '"three quarter billion dollar loan to Great Britain on the thesis that John Bull Will not use the money for develop ment of his own cotton crop. Polio Emergency Volunteers has < trained group* of women in 74 coun ties of 31 states to assist scientifical ly in the care of patients.

TUCKWILLER County Agent Two good registered Jerseys were added to the number of purebred livestock in Watauga county on Thursday, May 2, when R. H. Van noy and sons, purchased a bull and a heifer at the Jersey Promotional Sak at Abingdon, Virginia. The bull is sired by an outstanding bull and is out of a cow with a Silver Medal record of 908 pounds milk and 550 pounds fat in 305 days. The heifer is out of a cow with. a record of over 8000 pounds milk and 400 pounds fat. Tnis heifer is bred to a 5 star bull that sold in Georgia State Sale in 1945 for $2,250 at 14 months of age. WOOL Recent reports indicate that the wool must be tied with regular wool twins to bring the top price this year. Don't forget to tie each fleece as you shear it, also remove all tags and otHer foreign material. There will be a sheep shearing school in the county on May 23. See next week's paper fo r time and place. Come to the school, not only to learn how to shear sheep, but also to lear how to tie the wool. BLUE MOLD Blue mold has been reported in tobacco plant beds below the moun tains, and farmers should be on the lookout for it here. The damp, cool weather recently has been especi ally favorable for mold growth. Fermate Spray for the prevention of Blue Mold is recommended by many of our leading plant disease specialists. The material will cost about $1.50 per hundred square yards of bed. Use 1 V4 to 2 pounds Fermate to 50 gallons of water. (Vi ounce or 4 level tablespoonfuls per gallon). Mix the Fermate in a small amount of water until it is thorough ly wet, then add the full quantity of water. Keep the mixture well agi tated and use a pressure sprayer. Begin spraying when tobacco leaves are the size of a dime, and spray twice per week until plants are set. If spray is washed off by rain, repeat at once. There is little protection unless the leaves are coated with a black deposit. It usually requires approximately 3 gallons of spray per 100 square yard of plant bed when the plants are small, and increase up to about 6 gallons per application when the plants are almost large enough to set out. COVE CREEK HI SCHOOL NEWS Library reports for the year from September 17, 1945 to May 8, 1946 show a total book circulation of 7,488, an average of 832 books per month. Of the total number, 4,502 were fiotioni In comparing these figures with those for the 1M4-45 school year we find a slight in crease in the number of books cir culated. The Cove Creek school had. the pleasure of entertaining the teachers of the county and also a number of invited guests. After a short busi ness session the teachers and guests were divided into six play groups and assembled at the gymnaaum | where they engaged in a variety of , play activitives. After the games a 1 buffet supper was served in the j high school cafeteria. Preparation and service of food was under the j direction of Mrs. Council Cook and Mrs. Sam Osborne. All those who enjoyed the food are grateful to the lunch room wor kers of the Blowing Rock school and those of Cove Creek, and to the girls of Mrs. Osborne's home econo niices class who assisted in serving. The geography class, under the direction of Miss Stiles, has worked out a successful project dealing with the United States. Various students drew maps of the indivi dual states and Alaska, using a uni form scale. In these maps was shown information on products, metals, and animals. When completed these state maps were assembled to form | a national map and was used as a poster in the library. i At a general assembly of the j student body the members of the student council both old and new J presented themselves. The old mem | bers submitted their retirement re ' marks and the new members | promised their service for the new school year. Jimmy Mast, treasurer, presented the sum of $30.00 to the school for the establishment of an outdoor basketball court. J. D. Younce, | chairman of lost and found com mitte displayed a number of articles and invited the owner to come by and claim them. Mr. Bingham complimented the council for it's work in the past and asked for contined cooperation in the future. Friday evening, May 3. the out going members of the student coun I cil entertained the new members in | the school lunch room. Decorations for the party carried out blue and white as colors and used spring I flowers in addition to other decora | tions. After a number of interesting | gamfcs, sandwitches, punch. ice j cream and cookies were served. The Black Bear, Wolf and Cobra patrol of troop 71 boy scouts attend ed the district camproee held at Camp Gordon Winkler, May 4 th and 5th.

PARKING .HEARD EACH DAY ON CBS NET WORK NOW THE GREATEST HILLBILLY SHOW ON TOUR TODAY Employers Should List All Jobs for Veterans, Others With USES Here are seven reasons why em ployers should list all jobs for vet erans and others with the United States Employment Service: 1. In recruiting workers through USES, employers take advantage of the widest possible choice pt avail able veterans and other job seek ers. If the right workers are avail able, the chances of readily reach ing them are better through UES than by any other means. 2. Special USES interviewers are trained to take employers' orders for workers on a basis of actual job requirements. ?3. USES offices refer workers to employers only on the basis of quali fications for specific job orders ? taking into consideration the appli cant's experience, training and abili ties ? veterans and other applicants are given job counseling including tests, when necessary, to determine the types of work for which they are best suited ? the objective is al ways the right workers for the right jobs. 4. Thus, employers can do highly selective hiring without the time and expense of interviewing large numbers of unqualified applicants for a limited number of jobs since USES screens out all but qualified workers available for a particular job ? leaving the employer free to make his own final choice from among a selected few. Employers get workers who fit into the job, if they are available. 5. The USES, of course, is a free public service ? no charge to any employer or any applicant under any circumstances. 6. Through USES job counseling services, veterans and others in the need of training or rehabilitation are so advised and referred to such services accordingly, rather than immediately to employers for jobs. Total adjustment to employment and community conditions is a con stant aim in guiding the right work ers toward the right job. 7. Employers who list all their jobs ? for veterans especially ? at this central point of community and national employment exchange will help the nation keep its promise to those who made victory possible. Peace without opportunity tor gain ful employment would be an empty peace. Close to two million head of cat- | tie roam New Mexico ranges, and [ the income from beef cattle per an nurri is approximately $35,000,000. j CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our friends in | Boone for their helpfulness and for i their expressions of sympathy inci dent tq the recent death of Mr. Cline.?
