THE GLEANER URA1IAM, N. C\, OCT. 26, 1944 188L' EL) KVBHY THUM8DAY ? J. D. KERNODLE, JR., Manager $1.00 A VEAR, IN ADVANCE Butered at f'cxiiofflce at Graham. N. C.. ai- Heooud-clawi matter. A NEW BUS STATION The change of the Bus Station has created quite a bit or interest among citizens of the town. It seems that a more suitable place could have been chosen. Many reasons were given by the former city's attorney in Open Forum letter appearing in the Times News, on Wednesday, which we quote: I ^ Oct. 24, 1944 To Mayor and Commissioners, of the town of Graham, Graham, N. C. Gentlemen: , It has come to my attention that you are sponsoring a remov al of the bus station in the town from the corner of Main and Har den streets to Elm street and that you have requested the Utilities Commissioner to approve a change of the bus route through Graham, over town maintained streets intsead of the State High way. As the public has not had an opportunity to discuss the mat ter in an Open Forum, I believe that it is conductive to the best interest of the town that the matter be discussed. In the first place, it appears to me that you are rather reckless with the town funds when you sponsor the use of town main tained streets for the heavy bus traffic instead of the State High way. I do not know whether you have investigated the condition of East Elm street. If you have not, this fact should be called to your attention. This street, almost one half mile in length, was built thirty years ago this fall. Its base is in very bad condition and will not hold heavy bus traffic for more than six minths or not over a year at the outside. It will be necessary then for you to rebuild the road at the town's expense. In order to build a road that will accommodate this traffic, it will be necessary to build a concrete base. The ordinary black top would require a large amount spent on it each year to keep it in good condition for heavy bus traf fic. To build a concrete base would cost the town approximately $20,000. This is an awful amount of money for the town to spend unless you are correcting a bad situation. Your re-route carries the buses around the court house, the most congested street in town. It is now and has always been difi cult to drive or walk on the court house square because of its traf fic entering from four different directions. And again these buses make considerable noise and that will impair the usefulness of the court house when used by t courts or by speakers. I believe that you will find that the danger to traffic on the court house square, both for pedestrians and vehicles, will be greatly increas ed. The present bus stop may in crease the traffic congestion on Harden and Main streets to a certain extent but it has not been dangerous. For the twenty years that the buses have been stopped at this place, no major accidents have been caused by them and very few minor accidents. It may be that it has saved a great many accidents because when the road is clear, automobile traffic often passes through this section at a very high rate of speed. With the buses stopping on the corner, they have to drive with more cau tion. It is a fact easily observed, that our policemen rarely get that far from the court house and we "therefore have no protection against speeders. Another thing in favor of .the present location is that when the station is closed, the people can go to a cafe across the street | which remains open all night and ' in that way keep out of the cold 'and rain. I understand that the new location will not remain open more than an hour longer than the present station. Patrons go ing to the station at the new lo cation will have no place to get out of the rain and cold while waiting for a bus. , It appears to me before further steps are taken in regard fo this change, that a public meeting should be held and the matter discussed pro and con. The heavy | cost to the town and the incon venience to the patrons are some things that certainly should be considered. It should be generally | known that the Bus Company is not making this change of its own volition and that it is not renting this new station. It is merely giv ing someone else the right to sell tickets on a percentage basis just as they are doing at the present location. If the citizens think that it is necssary to change the lo cation,then they should have an opportunity to find a location where the buses can use the State highway. Yours very truly, W. I. WARD. The above did not mention the fact that, to reach this new lo cation, buses will cross two main , intersections, the very dangerous curve at the town cemetery, or the extreme nearness of this new location to the fire house, and a number of other faults. FROM A BUSINESS MAN To assure jobs for Americans in the critical postwar era ahead will require more brains and few er bureaus, much better perform ance and much less political pub licity . . . practical and intelli gent management; the like of which we have never known be fore, instead of the confusion and waste the like of which we have never known before. That is the opinion of Eugene W. Castle, president of Castle Films, who has been speaking before adver tising men, colleges, clubs, civic associations and large organiza tions. In one of this series of ad dresses this week, he said I "Most of us remember that af ter the dislocation resultion re sulting from World War 1, our citizens were plagued with un American movements created and furthered by ambitious indi viduals and self'sh minority groups, and now?while Ameri can blood is still flowing in Eu rope and Asia?we are again menaced by an unAmerican movement whose known objec tive is to regiment and divide Americans by class, and in a country where no class system has ever existed. I refer to Sidney Hillman's Political Action Com mittee, a movement conceived by the New Deal Palace Guard. "When three members of the cabinet of the President of the United States, including the At torney General, sn- ak up th~ back stairs of a Loop hotel in Chicago to beseech Sidney to celar Senator Truman as the Vice Presidential candidate after the big machine politicians had con cluded that Hillman's demand for Henry Wallace was too hot to handle?when a thing like this happens it is time for all Ameri cans to go on the alert, to sit up straight and take notice. Mr. Hill man is not championing the cause of Labor whose rights, privi J leges, and procedures are defined (and safeguarded by law?Mr. Hillman is championing the righta of leftists, communists, and crackpots, and a minority of unAmerican labor btrons greedy for political power and determin ed to ise and to ivg'sner.t the rank and file of !ab>i to make America over to serve their own alien designs and purposes. "There can be no lasting prob lem between the rank and file of labor and the rank and hid of management that cannot be set tled between these two groups. If America is to be strong eco nomically and if it is to prosper in the world of tomorrow, labor and management must get along together?and they can and will if politically sponsored trouble makers and class hatred breeders are removed from between them. "The fourth-term candidate is a political hostage, of Hopkins, Biddle, Ikies, and Frankfurter, and finally, big city machine poli icians?Kelly, Hague, ana Flynn. "To maintain anil to safeguard our freedoms at home is not a job for someone else. It is not a parti san job. It is a patriotic job. It is a job for every ordinary citizen: The man in the street; the house wife ; the business man; the man at the work bench; the man in the field?a job for every Ameri can whose country means any thing .to him. , "Ours is the land of enchant ment. Ours is the land of achieve ment. Ours is the land of free dom. Ours is the land of oppor tnuity. It is your duty?yours and mine?to keep it so."

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE GLEANER 1 ' A GOOD HOUSC FOR A GOOD D06 < ?27B1 [__ CAlNtS DOC BfSEARCH 553 i Splendid Doghouse Made From Barrel i i Should Be 1 \A Times Sire Of Pel To Be Used For Gas rationing may have something to do with it, but wherever one goes these days in communities where single-family houses predominate, the kennel is playing almost as im portant a part in the home as the garage, the Gaines Dog Research Center, New York City, finds. A dog is a better companion, guard or worker for having a place of his own. A box or basket in the bath room or kitchen may serve nicely for the smaller or more delicate breeds, but dogs of medium or large size, especially those of the heavy-coated varieties, require a separate all-year round" house. Ready-made houses of varied design and construction are available in many places, but one of the very best is the barrel type house (shown above) developed at the Gaines Research Kennels, and which anyone at all handy with tools can easily make up at almost no cost. Anyone contemplating trying his hand at such a barrel doghouse may have detailed working blueprints without charge by writing to the Gaines Dog Research Center, 250 Park Avenue, New York 17, N. Y. The barrel has so many advan tages as a doghouse that it is sur prising that more has not been done with it. It is rain and snow proof; warm in winter, cool in summer. Its biggest advantage is that most of the work has already been done. Only three steps need be taken to adapt it for the purpose intended. An opening to serve as a door must be cut at one end. the bunghole must be developed into a ventilator, and a support must be arranged at each end so that the barrel-house does not rest on the ground. The last not only prevents rolling and early decay, but also dampness ant drafts?big causes of dog illness. Finish with good paint. Almost any type of heavy-duty barrel will do. A wine or vinegar cask which had been thoroughly de odorized bjr washing with diluted creosote is ideal for the purpose. The size of the barrel should be in keep ing with the size of the doe. As a rule, the barrel kennel should be m times as large as the dog and wide enough so he can turn around com fortably. Preferably the house should face the south or east, and it should be placed where the wind does not strike it directly. The best place for this house is where it will get the sun in the morning and the shade all the rest of the day. For additional ventilation, several holes may be drilled in the front and back panels 1 of the barrel house and the boles equipped with suitable eork stopifers. By opening and closing these holes ventilation may be regulated in line with outdoor conditions. The hinged door ? leather or metal two-way ; hinges will do equally well ? per- I mits frequent sunning of the house ' and helps eliminate vermin and odors. Where Do Dog Taxes Go? Dog tax funds are being used for almost every sort of purpose imag inable save the dog's own welfare, reports the Gaines Dog Research Center, New York, after studying the matter in scattered communities in several states. The Center is compil ing a list of possible dog uses to which tax funds might be put and would like to hear from dog owners here who may have ideas on the subject Dehumidifying Agent The use of a dehumidifying agent such as calcium chloride in one or more rooms of the basement keeps humidity out of the basement air, provided windows are kept closed. Bony Structures The discovery that the citrate con- , tent of the bones is normally many times higher than in the body tis sues indicates a need for citrate > storage in the bony structures. College Enrollment Civilian enrollment in land grant colleges and universities?compris ing the large state schools?totaled 239,430 in 1943, compared to 254,608 in 1942 and 272,394 in 1941. Ice Industry The ice industry in this country consists of almost 4,000 individual plants, annually producing over 34, 000.000 tons of ice, 91 per cpnt of it from fresh water. Plant Trees Nearly 1,100,000 young trees have been shipped from state nurseries to I schools and community organiza tions for planting throughout Michi gan. Provide Energy Edible fats and oils, providing more energy than any other food, are urgently needed by men fight ing in sub-zero temperatures. Disabling Injuries There were 10,100,000 disabling in juries, 350,000 of which were perma nently disabling to some degree, in 1943. ? Cheek Medicine Chert Medicine chests need periodic cleanings, not only to check up on supplies of first-aid materials but also to make sure that the shelves are spotless. Empty the chest, wash the walls and shelves with soap and water, dry thoroughly with a soft clean cloth, and replace all the need ed articles that have a proper place in the chest. An uncluttered chest Is a godsend when an emergency arises, and a clean one is the only suitable receptacle for medical sup plies. Process Sawdust As late as 1930, fully 60 per cent of every tree was wasted. Now, just one of the by-products?sawdust ?is processed into a material which is literally "hard as nails," for you have difficulty driving a nail through its dense surface. It makes sawdust plaster to replace gypsum. It is compounded into staple war-needed acids such as oxalic, one of whose uses is in laundries for acid rinses. Symbol on Dime The bundle of sticks on the re verse side of the dime is the ancient Roman fasces, rods bound about a protruding ax, which was the sym bol of unity and strength. These fasces were borne by lictors before the Roman magistrates to indicate authority. The entwining holly ?branch on the dime stands for peace. The design is the work of Alexander Weinman, sculptor. Machine Milked If an expert hand milker can milk a cow in about eight minutes, a machine should do the job in four minutes. The majority of cows can be trained to milk on a time sched ule and such milking saves labor, produces more milk, and tends tc reduce mastitis. Control Hot Hay Beware of hot hay in the barn. One hundred and fifty-eight degrees is the critical temperature for hot alfalfa hay, say agricultural engi neers. If hay has to be removed, have a fire engine or power orchard sprayer and water supply at hand. Not First Caught New York state conservation de partment surveys on the Wiscoy and East Coy creeks have revealed for the second successive year that, con trary to general belief, the most re cently planted trout are not the first ones caught. Move Ladder If you're picking fruit, use the right kind of ladder and move it frequently to avoid tumbles by over reaching. Falls from haystacks, haymows, windmills and roofs ac count for thousands of accideiSts. Manufacture Food Green plants are the only living things that manufacture their own food from inert, inorganic matter. Without sunlight they would be un able to carry on their food conver sion processes. Soften Brushes Poak hardened brushes in a chemi cal brush cleaner until soft; this may take a few minutes or a few hours, depending on the condition of the brush. Chemical Literature In the 30 years preceding the out break of the present war, the vol ume of chemical literature of the world increased by more than 400 per cent. Humble Start A trip of a thousand miles starts with a single step, a Chinese proverb tells us. And you can build self confidence by following that same plan. Reduce Rust According to some folks the best way to remove rust from the metal parts of garden tools is to use the tools in the garden. Children's Deaths Among children under five years the public accidental death rate in 1943 increased 11 per cent from 1942, to 70.4 per 100,000. Cro-Magnon Man The existence of Cro-Magnon man was discovered in 1868 when four skeletons were found in Dordogne, France. .' Charcoal in Icebox A small piece of charcoal placed in the back of the refrigerator or icebox will absorb odors. Highest Country Tibet is the highest country in the world, with table lands rising 16,000 feet above the sea. Settlers' Export Brazil was named after the dye wood which was the early settlers' chief export. Aviation Gas The United States produces 85 per cent of the world's total aviation gas oline. West Indies The land area of all the West In dies islands is about 100,000 square miles. Alligator Pear The avocado or alligator pear was introduced in the United States in 1833. Revolve Around Sua More than 1,800 asteroids revolve around the sun. TC ? , . Only Two Elected The governor and auditor of Maine are the only executive officers of the state elected by popular vote. Oil Industry More than 4,500,000 barrels of oil are being produced daily by the United States oil industry. Populous City One-third of Iceland's people live in modern Reykjavik on the south western coast. Used Balloon The French are believed to have been the first to use the balloon in warfare.
