Joe ftiAvely Charged With
Selling Gaaoline
Illegally
Hickory.—The Hickory ration
txxard has recommended to Theo
dore S, Johnson, state rationing
administrator, that the gasoline
licenso of Joe Suavely, operator
of “Two-Joe's Service station” on
highway 70 east of Hickory, be
revoked. The board also issued
a request to wholesale gasoline
distributors of the area that they
refrain from selling S'navely ad
ditional gasoline pending the de
cision of Administrator Johnson.
Action by the local board fol
lowed a hearing in Hickory muni
cipal building, in which Chair
man Charles W. Bagby^ head of
the Hickory area gasoline ration
ing, and Donald S. Menzies, chair
man of the Catawba county civi
lian defense council, formally |
preferred charges against Snave- j
ly. It was alleged that the “Two |
Joe’s” station has been selling ;
gasoline illegally.
Among those who testified at
the hearing were Chairman Bag-
by, Menzies, State Highway Pa
trolman W. R. Beaver, Sheriff
Ray Pitts, and Snavely.
The evidence showed that dur
ing a visit to the station Saturday
night, Bagby, Menzies and the of
ficers discovered that a large
number of coupons from pagee
two, three and four of the “A”
gasoline ration books had been
accepted by the operators al-
thongh under existing regulations
these could not legally have been
torn from the “A” books prior to
September 22, November 22 and
January 22, respectively. It was
also alleged that although the
tanks of the filling station were
empty the total number of cou
pons In the possession ofl the op
erators were considerably short
of the number required to equal
the amount of gasoline for which
Mr. Snavely was accountable.
Snavely admitted frankly that
he had accepted coupons not yet
due for use but declared that he
had done so in ignorance of the
fact he wnas Tiolating the law. He
also testified that after the check
had been made of his coupons
Saturday night, he had found some
additional ‘‘S” gasoline coupons
In the cigar box where he kept
them and which he alleged hnd
been overlooked by Chairman
Bagby and Menzieo ' Further
more. Snavely testified that he
thought that Bagby and Menzies
had taken the sheet,- on which
were pasted the coupons they
checked when they left his place,
ino-smuch as ttiey had disappear
ed.
Both Menzies and Ragby testi
fied that they were positive there
were no additional coupons in the
cigar box. They asser'ed that
they had left the sheets bearing
the checked coupons with Snave
ly, .^ter Chairman Baghy hod
made a record of them and ini
tialed and numbered each page.

This fall's bumper pig crop
holds possihilitie.s of increa.sed
trouble for North Carolina farm
ers unless they can give greater
care and attention to each litter,
snys Dr. C, D. Grinnells. veterina
rian of the Agricultural Experi
ment Station at N. C. Sta'e col
lege.
More pigs generally mean les-
alteiition per pig, the veterinar
ian pointed otr. Yet fall weath
er conditions are ideal for a
great number of swine disease
complications.
Every hog house should be dis
infected thoronghtv, well bedded,
and ventilated properly. Precau
tions should be taken !o preveit'
pigr from pilin.g up at night, with
consequent chilling in the morn
ing.
Sunless days in the late fall in
crease the danger from rickets
and vi'amin deficiency diseases.
Rotions should he checked with
•his danger in view, the State Col
lege livestock authority advieeC,
Wet weather also increases *he
threat of pneumonia and influen
za. Proper housing and prompt
control measures in case of sick
ness are the best step against
these ‘wo destructive killers.
Dr. Grinnells also observed that
there has been an increase in fell
outbreak of hog cholera in the
past few yeans. In view of this
I apparent upward trend in the
cholera cycle, nil fall pigs should
be vaccinated by a veterinarian
around weaning time.
I “There is no object _in having
! larger farrowings and ending nn
with fewer pigs saved from each
litter.” Dr. Grinnells said. “Yet
■ this mey happen easily on many
farms unless the owners make
up their minds to watch their fall
pig crop more closely, and to
take every precaution to overcome
the various diseases and risks
which always threaten.”

Nowadays everyone Is interest
ed in thrifty meat dishes. Good
stew is an old standby and here
is how to make it. Allow about
2 pounds of lean raw meat with
out bone for a good all-meat etew
for 6 persons. For a stew with
vegetables, you can use less meat,
of course, but the more meat you
have the more nourishing and
tasty will be the stew.
To make a good stew first flour
and then brown the meat in fat
before you add water. Brown the
vegetablen a few minutes in well-
flavored fat. Vegetables are at
their best when you cook them
quickly, so don't add them until
the mjat is almost, if not quite,
tender.
It doesn’t matter whether the
water is cold or hot. Add enough
water to cover the meat and sim-
ii.cr slowly until the meat is fen
der. Don’t boil. Many cooks like
to add a sliced onion for savory
flavor, if the etew is not thick
'enough by the lime the meat is
tender, mix 1 or 2 tablespoon
fuls of flour to a smooth paste
with a little cold water. To the
! pa.ste add several spoonfuls of the
hot slew and then stlx the mix-
Mure info the rest of the stew,
'and cook until smooth and thick.
Season to taste with smlt and
{pepper and a little chopped pan--
j ley if yoi have it.

I Predictions right now are
the plentiful foods during the
coming months will be: cereal or
grain foods, lamb and mntton,
poultry, dairy products, and mo:^t
treiih vegehuhles. Foods that will
not lit; plen'ifnl are: sugar, of
course, and canned foods, beef,
pork, and possibly lard.
* * *
Maybe you will want to serve
your family more whole-grain
foods, different kinds of breads
and cereals. Study the cooking
of lamb and mutton and the dif
ferent ways of using chee.se, egg-,
and poultry.
During the hot summer days,
there is nothing more refreshing

to come back to Wilkes county,
the place where he spent his ear
ly childhood days, he having liv
ed for some years In the town of
Wilkesboro In a house which
stood where the present school
building now stands.
He said the Revoluntlonary war
was the greatest conflict this
country had up to now engaged
in and it was for the noble pur
pose of securing to our people
the right to worship as each in
dividual chose. He said that the
people who fought that war came
from Europe—from the countries
where they were denied all such
privileges. Following the Edict of
Nantes In 1685 he said there was
a constant flow of immigrants In
to this country. Among them
were the Rousseaus, Lenoirs,
Gwyns, Stokes, Wellborns, Callo
ways, Clevelands, Hamptons,
Shelbys, McDowells, Campbellf*,
Sevlers, Gordons, Montgomerys,
and others who when the test
came were willing to do ell to
secure to themselves and their
posterity the blessings of liberty.
During that struggle there was a
block of men In the English Parll-
ment who had the idea that if
England could send a strong unit
of the army to some high place
within America and there well
fortify itself that there was a suf
ficient number of British sympa
thizers, lories, who would rally
to the British flag, to make vic
tory for them certain. General
Ferguson, with 2,000 trained
men, undetrook to do. that task.
He embarked from England by
way of Oharleston to Kings Moun
tain where he took hla. stand.
There the men of Wilkes above
named met him and slew him and
a great number of his men and
took the remainder prisoners.
Prom then on victory for the
Americans was certain. Ben
