MONDAY, DEC. 8th, 1941 Do Business Here It has been our pleasure to visit many of the stores in North Wilkesboro during their preparations to care for holiday trade demands. And we have found that North Wilkes boro stores are exceptionally well stocked to take care of the record volume of holi day business. The stocks are varied, of fering wide variety of selections in every department and price class. In view of these facts, it seems inexcusa ble that any of our own residents would go a long distance from North' Wilkesboro for holiday shopping. Prices here are certainly no higher, and in many instances lower, than in larger cities. For holiday shopping, we gladly recommend North Wilkesboro stores. Farmers Should Attend We take this means to kindly request the farmers of Wilkes and others interest ed to attend the dairy meetings which were announced in this newspaper Thurs day. F. R. Farnham, one of the best known authorities on dairy problems, will be pres ent and discuss breeding, feeding and management of dairy cattle. With the dairy industry expanding be cause of the coming of Coble Dairy Pro- jducts plant to Wilkesboro, farmers will find it worthwhile to learn all they can about dairying and about the best methods of cattle raising. Seals — Fluoroscope Sale of Christmas Seals this year should mount higher than ever before in Wilkes because the movement has a very definite and worthwhile objective. Wilkes county tubercular hospital is in need of a fluroscope, by which physicians could make more accurate diagnosis of ac tive cases and suspects. The addition of a fluoroscope will help greatly in treatment and control of tuber culosis in Wilkes county. With this definite goal as the objective. Wilkes people should respond liberally by buying large quantities of seals this sea son. If you have not received a supply, call or write Mrs. Boyd Stout, North Wilkes boro, chairman of the seal sale campaign in Wilkes. l How Boy Benefits The American countiy boy—that stal wart fellow from the fa,-ms and the towns and smaller cities—has contributed not only his brawn to Uncle Sam’s armies, but exemplifies patriotism, initiative, and in telligent discipline as well. Such is the gist of authoritative commen tary on the rank and file of the army in every instance where citizen .soldiers have been called to the nation’s defense. Today the parents of the young men lately called into service are asking what the army in turn doe.s.for the country boy. Here is the answer: “He gains a broader experience in ad venture, friendship, and learning which only service in a common cause can give.’’ The quotation is from an overseas vet eran of the World War who served in a hard hitting outfit composed largely of youths classed generally as country boys. Amplifying his statement, he stressed the young soldier’s experience in adventure, friendship, and learning. Boyhood adventures in rambles with his dog, a plunge in the “old swimmin’ hole” and explorations in the woods pave the for his new duties in camp and in the field. Our Army affords new scenes and jtill more heartening adventures. Me gains « atroog phyMqne* good health, and a clean mind. He comes home equlpijied for his life work with renewed energy and.aj^ brighter outlook upon the world. In friendship he broadens his horizon, meets thousands of young men from all parts of the Union, and forms enduring comradeships. Knowing his fellow Ameri cans better he is himself a better America. The average country boy enters the Ar my with an inquiring mind and a fund of practical experience, declares the veteran of 1918. He is a good student. He has learned to work with his hands as well as his brains. He is quick to grasp the excep tional opportunities which modern military service provides. When he returns to the fa.rm he finds that his skill in handling a “jeep, a truck, or a tank for Uncle Sam has fitted him ex pertly to care for agricultural machinery. He has learned the economy of transpor tation. He has been observing of the prac tice of farmers in other sections of the country. He sees where improvements may be made. He knows more of conser vation.

Kem per, president of the Lumbermen’s Mutual Casualty Company, stated today, following an analysis of the pedestrian accidents which appear in the company's file. A paramount warning is sounded for all thinking motorists, Mr., Kemper continued, when it is con sider^ that during the twilight hours between 1 and 7 p. m., more than twice as many accidents oc curred during the last three months of the year as are experienced during the same hours in the pre ceding three months. This sug gests very definitely the need for caution just before street lights are | turned on, at a time when it is bard for the motorists to clearly distinguish pedestrians in the street. , Commenting on the gn:-eater pos- j sibility of being involved in an ac- during' America’s greatest training school for the or'^the^^ear, Mr.! professions, in science, and in business. In Kemper urged each motorist to every period ir the nation’s history the give more thought to the safety of leaders m civil life have bee., largely those who in their youth answerer, their coun-1 jj,gj.ggggjj more than lO per cent try’s call to defense, and first of these has been the country boy.—War Department Release. Borrowed Comment NEW BOOST FOR DAIRYING (Winston-Salem Journal) The Carnation milk plant at Statesville and Galax have given the dairying indus try a big impetus in Northwestern North Carolina. This industry now receives further en couragement in the announcement that the Coble Dairy Products Company, of Lex ington, has completed final plans for the opening of a large milk products plant in North Wilkesboro. Ihis plant will expand the marketing facilities and opportunities of dairy farm ers in the Northwestern section, and should result in still wider development in the dairying branch of farming within the area. As previously suggested, one big handir cap to full-scope developments of rfAiiyiPfi* factors in this section which is so well adapted naturally to livestock raising and dairy farming has been the lack of adequate markets to take care of the products. But the continued rapid growth of Pied mont and Northwestern North Carolina towns, and the establishment of modern dairy processing plants in Winston-Salem, North Wilkesboro and other cities and towns, and the location of condensery plants in the area'have materially altered marketing conditions within the past few years. Now opportunity beckons to the dairy farmer of this area as it has never beckoned before, and alert, progressive ruralites will not allow it to gesture in during the last three months of 1940 as compared to the three months immediately preceding. j Urging the motorist to assume an additional responsibility in an effort to reduce pedestrian acci dents, Mr. Kemper pointed out that the pedestrians’ reluctance to ac cept this respo’.. sibility made this recommendation necessary. With the pedestrian thinking that the motorist can see him because he ered more than 2,000 serious pedes trian takes dangerous chances in traffic. This situation, coupled with the fact that many times street lights are not turned on as soon as they are needed, places the. motorist “on the spot.’’ ) The Lumbermen’s analysis cov ered more than 2.000 serious pedes trian cases reported during a re-^ cent period. For October, Novem-1 ber and December, 29 per cent of these injuries occurred during the hours from 1 to 7 p. m., compared to only 16 per cent for the same hours during July, August and September. Between 1 and 10 p. m., 49 per cent of the serious ac cidents occurred in the last three months of the year >flP9mr«d to 31 per cent during th0 BiimV’hoQra in the previous three months. iiKppal contiibating ia''large increase is the earlier coming of darkness im posed upon a peak traffic load. Mr. Kemper stated that a sub stantial saving in life and property would result if drivers would adopt the following precautions during the early evening hours: 1. Reduce speed. 2. Drive within the range of their headlights. | 3. Refrain from using blinding headlights when approaching cars from other directions. 4. Abstain from driving after drinking. The startling increase in street and highway fatalities during the past year,” concluded Mr. Kemper, “places upon each of us an added responsibility to prevent loss of life and property particularly dur ing this period of terrific costs in cidental to our defense program.’’ CONFESSION OF ERROR (Reidsville Review) Somehow we think we would be inclin ed to trust Gen. Archibald P. Wavell. Not because he won the most spectacular vic tory yet achieved by allied forces in chas ing the Italians out of Libya, and certainly not because he then permitted the Ger mans to chase his own victorious army out of the same area. Simply because of a statement the general made the other day frankly confessing that the latter disaster was his fault. “The enemy attacked at least a month before I had expected it pos sible,” said the general. When a man in that position can frank ly and publicly admit his mistakes, it looks to us like a sign of confidence and strength. Nothing breeds confidence in a leader like occasional frank admission of error and a.ssumption of responsibility for failure. BREAD A new tomato bread higher in vitamin content than ordinary bread and made by adding ca&ned tomatoes, or tomato juice to the dough, has been developed by the Quartermaster Corps. INCREASE An increase of 82 per cent over the previous year in electricity delivered to consumers is shown in a report of REA-financed pow er systems for the fiscal year end ing June 30. Eight Governors and delegates from twenty eight states met in Chicago, to urge Theodore Roosevelt to accept nomination for third term as President.
