Bad Tires Serious Statistics show that one out of every five ve hicles has some mechanical defect such as poor tires, faulty brakes, lights, wheel alignment or steering mechanism. And one of the most important and most seri ous are bad tires. Are the tires on your car or , truck worn so thin that a sharp curve or stone oil ' the road would send you careening into a traf- [ fic tragedy? If they are, then you would do well to have them recapped or discard them fcr new ones, not only for your own safety, but to insure that your vehicle will pass its inspection test. The Manual of Motor Vehicle Mechanical Requirements states that all motor vehicle tires "shall be free from any exposed fabric or bulges which indicate broken fabric or which exhibit dangerously weakened conditions. Ill 1946, 520 fatal accidents and 9,240 noil fatal accidents in the Lnited States were caused I by punctures and blowouts alone, demonstrat ing the importance of keeping tires in good con dition at all times. It is believed by Motor Ve hicle officials that tires are an even greater fac tor in accidents than is generally reported, for often when the investigating officer lists "drove off roadway as the principal cause of an acci dent might not have happened. Help prepare your car for its inspection check-up by having the tires in good condition before you report to the State Inspection Lane in your area. Several Courses Offered Veterans The Veterans Farmer Training Program, in addition to the gener al farming situation has some , trainees engaged in other phases of agriculture, not commonly as sociated with the average type general farm, in the community Among the trainee^ there arc several who have a side line of Bee j Culture, which not only brings in an added source of income from the sale of honey and similiar products, but has the additional agricultural advantages of added and better crop pollination, thru the activity of the bees in their never ending search for honey < making materials and body susten ance substances This factor alone is worth a great deal more to the farmers in greater and more cer tain crop yields than the time ^ involved in care and maintenance et the bees or the initial cost of installation of the gums and their upkeep For a small cash outlay, to acquire a modest start in keep ing bees, and for a minimum of labor involved a large cash return can be realized to add to the family farm income without in tfrference with the other farm activities For variation, some trainees are engaged in the production and taising of "game chickens", which upon growing out are shipped to many parts of this country and to fome foreign countries by air ex press. The problems of produc ing and raising are similiar to those of any poultry farm manag er. but the Nale of operations is by lar smaller and the income derived by far greater for the cash outlay and labor involved There again occur factors of sideline farm ac tivities which plague the success or failure of any farmer, if due consideration is not given to the ? mount of time and money to be tied up in any farm operation. However th;> sideline operation has proven to be worth the time tnd money involved. A Now We are Equipped to Solve all ? Your Problems With Motor ?

DeHart of Marble, N C . is serving aboard the aircraft j carrier USS Philippine Sea, operat ing with the U. S. Naval Mediter ranean Force under Vice Admiral Forrest P. Sherman. The Philippine Sea is the first j American vessel to bear this name which is in keeping with the Navy's policy of naming aircraft carriers after important battles. It was commissioned in Quincy. Mass.. and although comparatively new. the Philippine Sea's travels have already carried her to the South Pole with Admiral Byrd's expedition and to the Caribbean ' ;?n three cruises. After participating in fleet ma- ; neuvers in mid-February she de parted for the Mediterranean. The present cruise is the initial ven- j lure of the 27.000-ton carrier into j European waters Aside from affording officers : nd enlisted nersonnel an oppor tunity to see foreign countries, these cruises offer training in in dependent operations and familiar ize them with the waters in which they cruise. Thus far. the current cruise has been highlighted by visits to Gib raltar Bone. Algeria; Sfax. Tuni ? i. and recently Argostoli. Greece DeHart entered the Naval ser vice Feb. 4. 1947. and received his recruit training at the Naval Train ing Center. Great Lakes. 111. DeHart is a member of the night fighter detachment aboard the Philippine Sea. This unit is re ponsible for the aerial protection .?f the fleet during the night lours. They fly from the dock of the carrier during the hours of darkness in their famed Hellcat night fighters, relying on speciali zed training and electronics equip ment to accomplish their missions. Many of the officers and men of tins seasoned unit are combat veterans having fought in the European and Pacific theaters dur ing World War II Final Rites For J.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE SCOUT Since the workshop has been equipped and placed in operation at the disposal of the trainees, a number of interesting projects and experiments have been attempted. Plow points have been ground pearly razor sharp to cut roots and sprouts and make cleanup of "new ground'' easier and faster. Believe it or not it works! New segments for wagon wheels have been cut from home grown wood lots to be used as replacements in weak or broken wheels. Handles for all kinds of hand tools have been cut out and shaped. Singletrees and doubletrees have been made to suit the individual taste and to fit the size of the animal or the imple ment to be used. No need to men tion the number of axes and "go devils" ground sharp and true to ease the work of the woman of the | farm family. Furniture repairs have improved the conditions with in the home. Windows and doors, hard to acquire items of new construction, have all been turn ed out of the shop. Neat jobs, too, at a substantial saving to the farmer. Given time and practise, there is no telling the depths to which the farmers will go to im prove their farming situations and to make labor saving and money t saving devices. Annual Party Held Tuesday The annual birthday party of the . ; Woman's auxiliary of the Presby- | ' ttrian churreh was observed at a meeting held Tuesday afternoon \vi h Mrs. Don Witherspoon. Mrs. E H. Brumby, president presided over a short business ses sion. after which Mrs. R. H. Foard presented a skit, " Appointed to Serve", showing the two-fold ob jective of the birthday offering this year Part of the offering goes to the Assembly's Training School at Richmond, and part to Mon ti eat. These parties have been held for a number of years, and a great deal of money has been raised v hich has been used one year for a foreign field, and the next in the home mission field. Those taking part in Appoint ed to Serve" were: Mary Lou Gordon. Carol Sue Vaught, Mary Bolan Brumby and Carolyn Alex frikte7. An offering was taken follow ing the play. Mrs. Foard reported on the Presby terial meeting held in Black Mountain last week. Mrs. Witherspoon. assisted by her daughter. Mrs Mack Patton and her sister. Mrs. Ned Dudley, served an ice course with coffee following the program, and a soci al hour followed. Electrical Safety Important On AH Farms "The 'killers' and 'firebugs' hiding in electric wires must be kept under control," according to A Q Ketner. county agent for the State College Extension Service "They may strike without warning When used safetly electricity brings happiness to the entire family and helps take the back ache out of routine farm chores." The National Safety Council recommends three steps for elec trical safety. The first step is a safe wiring job. All wiring should be inspect ed by a qualified inspector certifi ed by the power supplier. Circuits, cutlets, and wire sizes should be planned to meet the needs without overloading. Temporary wiring unnecessary extension cords and other amateurish installations should be avoided. The entire wiring system is no safer than its weakest link The second step is good electri cal appliances safely installed When you buy electrical applianc es look for the "LL" label signify ing that the equipment has been tested and approved as safe by ' h e Underwriters Laboratory. Stationary equipment should be grounded and may require special circuits for safe use. Portable equipment used in damo places should also be grounded. The third step is safe use and maintenance of the electrical sys tem and appliances. The best wir ing and equipment needs some attention now and then. Watch for broken insulators, frayed cords, loose outlets or switches and damaged or worn fixtures. Don't delay repair-it may cost a life Be sure the electric current is turned off before any repair work is attempted. Paraffin Useful j In Many Ways Bv Rl'TH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent When ironing, fasten safety-pins to the places that need mending on the clothes. This savevs much time in finding the spot that needs repairing, especially if the mend ing is done several days later. It also saves the necessity of having to look the clothes over several times before finding why they were put in the mending basket. Rough jagged edges on curtain rods tear too many curtains. To avoid this, try the following plan: When curtains are laundered and ready to be put up. dip one end of the curtain rods in melted paraf fin and allow it to harden. Then slip the paraffin end of the rod through the curtain and it will prevent sharp edges from snagg ing the curtain. Summer curtains are kept cleaner by wiping screens fre quently with a damp cloth. Curtains with worn-out ruffles may be remade by attaching a ball fringe in place of the ruffles. A thin coat of lacquer keeps brass fixtures from tarnishing. Melted paraffin poured over leftover paint will keep the paint in good condition. I The best way to preserve paint brushes when not in use is to hang 8' 'RIPTL'RE: Ezra 7:?-10; K*h?mlah 13. I 'EVOTIONAL READING: Psalmi 111: - Jzra Leads A Revival Losson for May 9, IMS GLANCING for a moment at our history, we see that in 536 B. C., 50.000 Jews were returned to Dr. Newton Jerusalem from Babylon, and the temple was rebuilt; and 78 years later, Ezra returns with about 7,000 Jews to in augurate needed reforms. Then came Nehemiah, 444 B. C., to re build the walls, and with Ezra to lead in a needed religious revival. HAPPY TIMES WITH THE BIBLE 44T7 0R Ezra had prepared his ?T heart to seek the law of the Lord. ant. to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments." There was great need for a re vival of religion, and Ejra knew that there can be no real revival until the people come back to God. He therefore read to them the stat utes and judgments. Ezra read from the law of Moses from morn ing until midday, "and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law." What would you think of the people being summoned into some public place today to hear the Bible read? But you say, we hear it read over the radio, and we hear it read in church, and we sometimes hear it read in the home. Bui do we hear it? And are our ears really attentive? ? ? ? HEARING AND DOING GOD'S WORD EZRA not only read God's word to the people, but he led them to do what they were commanded in the law. They went out to give portions to those who were in need They came back to worship God. They began both to hear and do. "Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only," James 1:22. It is positively dangerous to re ceive impressions from God and refuse to express what he h^s put in our hearts to do for him. Let me put it this way, we can become religiously intoxicated unless we go forth to serve. ffr ? ? ? LIVING OUR RELIGION WHAT Ezra and Nehemiah led the people to do in the long ago was to put into practice what they heard? to live their religion. The late Gandhi was reported to have said. "I might have embraced Christianity, had Christians lived what they professed." Let us keep clearly in mind that Ezra was first concerned in in structing the people according to all that God had said in the Scrip tures. That comes first. We must have conviction about what is right. We must have a creed, but we are to remember that it is in daily living that we make our creeds effective. WHAT IS A RELIGIOUS REVIVAL? HIS lesson Inter is to reveal to 1 us how a religious revival broke out in Jerusalem in the long ago, nearly 500 years before Christ was born. Well may we ask, What is a religious revival? "Lord, send a revival, and let it begin in my heart." Revivals are prayed down, not talked up. We have fallen into the fallacy of speaking of revivals when some overnight spell-binder comes along and kicks up a big sensation. Be fore he leaves town, Pharisaism is more rampant than ever. It is not until the Spirit of God moves upon the hearts of his people and rekindles in them a sense of sin, bringing them to true repentance, that we can have a real religious revival. When men are convicted of their sins, they will say with Zacchaeus, "Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold." When men begin to feel and talk and act like that, you have a real religious re vival. And I repeat, such revivals are prayed down, not talked up. Now you are ready to read Psalms 119:9-16. e (Copyright by the International CouncM of Religious Education on hehall of 40 Protestant denominations. Released by WNU Features.) Hate never ruined an enemy, but it has ruined the lives of many a hater. You never fail to get your reward for Christian service, for the reason that it is its own compensation.^ Discontent is the want of self-re liance; It is the infirmity of will.?

Coon Ralph Warner just dropped in ' to see me today, he enlisted in the U. S. Air Force on January 5 of this year. He states he likes the Army fine, and just completed his thirteen weeks of basic training, and is on a ten day furlough be fore reporting to Keesler Field. Miss., for a nine month course in RADAR Now that is just a sam ple of what the U. S. Army or Air Force has to offer a young man who would like to get ahead in the world You new High school grads may select any number of technical courses even before you enlist in the Army or Air Force, and be assured that you will at tend the school of your choice, veterans especially have wonder ful opportunites in the NEW VRMY. Well just had another visitor. Buster Key from Marble vVho enlisted January 20 and also just completed his basic training in San Antonia, Texas, is now stationed at Warner Robbins field way down in "Jawga", thinks the Army Air Force offers numerous opportunities.

Murphy Hi's ground gainer) just received a picture of "Bull" Davidson and Charles Anderson, they sure look nice in their uniforms, both are stationed in San Antonia. Texas. Lackland Field, and if anyone would like to write to either I will gladly furnish their addresses. An derson's mother and father were in today and said that Charles was ?\ell satisfied with the Army, now that really makes me feel good. Bull" and Charles enlisted the latter part of February. I might quote some interesting figures for you Cherokee County folks, up to and including March 30, exactly 71 men have been enlisted by this recruiter from Cherokee County, and I must say for one county that is exceptionly good, the rate of rejections for this county is very very low. One last item, any veter an who is authorized the World War II Victory medal, and does not have same please see me in the Court House on Monday. Wednesday or Friday and I will be glad to issue one, so until next week let the recruits pour in and I'll be back with more of the above. P. S. I just became the papa of a seven pound girl.
