Lastly, there should be a full complement of teats. He adds: "It is very annoying to find your sow had but ten teats when she has brought you a litter of twelve strong pigs, for the two unfortunte members of the iitter which are not provided for must either be hilled (which no one likes to do( or be reared at considerable inconvenience. Under such circumstances as these, I have found it the best plan to leave the pigs with their mother until it is clear which has to run short, and then teach it to drink from a teacup. This can be very quickly a accomplished by holding the pig in one hand and the milk in the other, gently pressing the head into the cup. The young sow should be brought to the boar for the first time when about eight months, old. If she has been carefully managed until that age she will be of good size, and nothing will be gained by keeping her longer unmated. She should not be pampered at any time, but be fed regularly and be taught to run out in the grass-field from an early age. Breeding sows can be kept, I admit, in a close sty from year's end to year's end, but it cost more to keep them in this way, and it is more natural to give them a grass run. The greater part of the year they will get !*hestof4hak l?e#p, an# vhen^ot suckling, Ml the food they will require in addition to grass will be a bucket of mash morning and evening.

Many stones were available for sale or trade. They ranged from rocks of the common variety to precious and semi precious gems. It was difficult to estimate the number of rock-hounds and pebble pups present but traffic was slowt' to a crawl and the Wayah unit of the Macon County Rescue Squad kept busy ensuring that vehicies were abie to move safely with minimum delay. Rescue squad chief, Joe Stepp, stated that it was one of the largest first-meet crowds he had seen. This twelfth year of the event found participants and visitors from most of the Southeastern states and one family came from as far away as Colorado. All with whom we talked were hooked" with the rock or antique bug. Clyde Mayhue of Murphy was extremely proud of an 1847 model Springfield muzzle loader he had just purchased.

Let us look today at what Jesus says about "the word of God. " In Hebrews 4:12, the Bible says "it is quick and powerful, sharper than any twoedged sword." In 1st Peter 1:23, it says that the word of God liveth and abideth forever. In our daiiy battle with Satan, we are to take the sword of the Spirit. which is the word of God according to Ephesians 6:17. Also John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the word and word was with God and the Word was God", best of all Psalms 126:6, "He that goeth forth and weepeth bearing precious seed < the word) shall come again rejoicing bringing his sheaves with him."

Cancer Crusade Month Cancer Safeguards Listed Cancer killed nearly 330,000 Americans last year, and an even greater number will die of this disease in 1971. Researchers seek clues to cancer's cause, physicians help cancer patients with increasingly effective treatment techniques. But still the figures rise. What else can be done to halt them? "Every adult in thiscity can help," said Dr. H.L. Bacon of the Swain County unit of the American Cancer Society, in an interview yesterday. "Each of us has within himself the power to help cut down the number of cancer deaths in Swain County." Dr. Bacon then explained the role each person can play in wiping out cancer. "If cancer is detected and treated early enough," he began, "it is one of the most curable of diseases. The power each of us has to help himself against this disease is simply this - to take advantage of the safety precautions that established." There are seven of these safety measures," he continued. "The American Cancer Society calls them 7 Safeguards Against Cancer." According, to Dr. Bacon, these Safeguards focus on sites of thebody where cancer strikes most often, and suggest a positive action each person can perform to give these sites the best protection possible. Dr. Bacon detailed the 7 Safeguards: "All adults can help guard themselves against lung cancer by not smoking cigarettes; from skin cancer by avoiding over-exposure to the sun; from colon-rectum cancer have already Copsu/e As part of the centennial celebration, a time capsule is being planned for the citizens of Swain County. For this time capsule, items are collected and placed /in a permanent container. This container is buried in some park or public area and permanently marked with instructions to be opened 100 years or 50 years hence. The public is invited to place an envelope ($100 charge) containing the history of their families or businesses or a taped message to their descendants. For such tapes and other small packages of pictures, etc. a $5.00 charge is made. Location of the time capsule is recorded in th$ library or city records. H you wish to submit something for the time capsule, give it to the Centennial Headquarters, or Glen McKinney at McKinney's Grocery on Bryson Branch along with the money.

A woman can take two additional steps: to help protect herseit trom breast cancer, she should practice breast self-examination each month; for uterine cancer, she should have a Pap test each year. Finally everyone should have an annual checkup. "These are the weapons", Dr. Bacon concluded. "What each of us must do , is use them." MAY QUEEN, Pam Randolph escorted by Larry Beck Adu!t Softba!!
