North Carouna, as second class matter under Act of March 4, 1879. MONDAY, JAN. 25th, 1943 For Poultry Progress For years some of the leading poultry- men and representatives of the extension aervice have sought to obtain for Wilkes county a full time assistant county agent to serve as poultry specialist. And it was indeed good news last week when the extension service of North Caro- 'lina State College obtained James E. Rol lins for that job and he will begin his du ties on February. 1 We believe we speak the sentiment of all the progressive minded people of the county when we commend the authorities of State College and the extension service for placing a full time poultry specialist in Wilkes at no expense to the county until July 1, and we commend the Wilkes coun ty board of commissioners for looking fav orably on the proposal for the county to furnish some part of the specialist’s salar>' in order to keep him in the county after July 1. According to statistics, there is one county which produces slightly more eggs than Wilkes, and one which produces slightly more broilers, but Wilkes is the leader in combination production of eggs and broilers. It appears now that Wilkes will have a poultry income of about 2,000,000 dollars this year, but there is plenty of rooni for expansion, A full time poultry specialist can be a great help. Coble Dairy Products company’s goin.g into the egg drying business will be es pecially beneficial to this section of the state. This means that poultrymen will no longer have to lose money during a low egg price season in the spring and sum mer. The Coble company will pay higher than the market price during the low price season and thus assure the egg pro ducer an.equitable income the year around. V The WAACS Another American soldier is on his way to fight the Axis with gun. grenade, tank or bayonet because a woman took over that office work he had performed ba:k here in the States for Many months. Held back from the front lines because of the burden of administrative w'ork he was forced to help carry on, he finally was able to leave his desk behind him when another full-fledged soldier of Uncle Sam, trained in the business of Army life and capable of doing a tough job well, took over tho.se administrative duties. That soldier who relieved him—a mem ber of the Woman’s Army Auxiliary- Corps—is a strong, healthy young Ameri can woman between the ages of 21 and 44. Proud of her accomplishments in becoming a WAAC, she is possessed of tho.se charac teristics for which American womanhood has been acclaimed since the birth of this nation. She is determined that her service in the Army will be of the highest caliber, and undoubtedly it will be, for she has that heritage which promoted Clara 'Barton, Jane Adams and other famous American women to accomplish great things. In jus tice to these noted predecessors, she must ■do a good job. , But there are many others like her thousands of others who have already joined the Woman’s Army Auxiliary Corps, and still thousands more who are eager *o join Those who are eligible for enroll ment will have the opportunity, for The President, realizing the importance of the -arvice-i^idh the Corps is rendenng, has an'increase in its strength to 150 000 • Members. Thousands of women w be added to the Corps, for its work is ever'greater and of *“Here in the Fourth Service which includes Georgia, "Xm' Tennessee, Mississippi and the at least 9,000 women must be recraitettfo- the WAAC between now and Apnl 1. Ann as each is accepted and completes her ba sic training, she will release another sol dier for srvice at the front. . . , - The Army recruiting offices which for merly catered entirely to men are now con cerned almost exclusively with the job of obtaining enlistments for the Women’s Ar my Auxiliary Corps. V. Current ‘IntoleraWe* Stoppage In a world war and in the face of a des perate fuel shortage, 25,000 anthracite coal miners have laid down their tools and gone on strike. The issues? The miners want a wage increase of two dollars a day and they are protesting an increase of fifty cents a month in the dues of the United Mine Workers. Secretary Ickes, as solid-fuel administra tor, has denounced the wartime stoppage as “intolerable.” Labor union leaders have declared against strikes for the duration of the war. Machinery has been set up to deal with disputes. Yet these strikes go on and on. For several days the mine workers de fied an order of the President of the Unit ed States, who is commander in chief in our part of this total war, to return to work. The administration has so long agreed to almost every whim of labor unions that the unions have decided thfey run the whole show. In order to do their part in war produc tion to beat the dictators, red blooded American men from the hills of Wilkes are having to pay homage and money 'o union dictators before they can work in war in-^ dustries. V By DWiOHT NICHOLS, et aL MONOAl The satisfaction which will come from personal participation in this country’s great struggle is ,drawing gallant women to recruiting stations all over the nation as they realize how efficiently they may serve Uncle Sam by joining the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps. Every woman who enrolls in the Corps is taking a personal punch at Hitler. A scrap collection drive in Mineral Wells, Texas, netted three million pounds in three hours.

C. a-BbAl peed One^ In a blue moon an under fed and overworked reporter gets a break. Well, Friday was one of the breaks for this wiHtet. We bad the pleasant duty of being, pres ent and repoijtlng on the dairy meeting held In the Wllkesboroe. First was" the tour of the Coble Dairy Products company plant in Wllkeshord, where »we were shown some of the many processes In manufacture of powdered milk and other dairy products. We and most of us, fresh from the dirt farms,, cannot think of milk being anything but a liquid. But in the Wilkesboro plant they take the water out of milk and leave the food In a fine, dry powder, which, when you add water, la milk again very much like it comes (or should , we say is taken) from the cow. The milk is condensed and goes into the drying chamber In a small pipe under 2,500 pounds pressure. There It enters the metal room through very smoll jets, which make It a vapor. And as It enters It Is bathed in air of 350 degrees, about one and one- half times as hot as boiling water That heat dries the milk and it falls on the floor a very tine and dry powder. It is so condensed that one barrel will make 3,600 glasses of ordinaiv milk, and is worth $256 per barrel. From there we wandered off Into a freezing c'^mpartment with the temperatur - about ten below. Needless to ' ^y, we didn’t stay there long. It being winter time and us tired of cold weather any way. From the milk plant to the American Legion hut for dinner with more than 100 more. It was about one o'clock, the crowd were about all men and hungry. As we waited we wondered if there could be enough food anywhere for that many hungry men. Once inside, we found out. We were served In afeterla style. They gave- each a paper plate, on which was deposited a whole three-pound milk fed broiler chicken. And we mean the chicken was all there, minus feathers and innards. With the chicken thfey deposit ed a generous helping of delecta ble slaw, and gave each a pint of ttonkr^'JW tCffT)l«B6'gr We^Tong tables was a half-pound carton of Coble ice cream. After beginning to eat, we re joiced to see them bring c.srtons of cigarettes of popular brands and scatter puck.s all along the table. Then the ho.st’s representa tives passed a few boxes of cigars around, and there were not two- fers. All in all. it was one of the V. S. I rcasury Departmint Men Should Possess Classification Card By This Date A MAN IS NOT A COWARD A man is not a coward, sir. Who is afraid of wrong; Afraid to do the evil things, Or travel with the throng. That’s going down the road to hell, Awa.v from God and light; But rather is a hero true That stands for truth and right. It takes a lot of grit and grace, A lot of courage, too,— The very best within a man To everymore be true To what is right and good and just Along life’s rugged road, And tote the part that please.s God Whatever be the load. A man is not a coward, sir, Who will not stoop to sin. Although enticed by those who say He ought to enter in And play a social game of card.s. Or take a social drink, And in the chain of worldly things Become with them a link. He knows too well what such has done For multitudes of souls— How they have sunk their ships of life, Or wrecked them on the shoals; Therefore he turns from sin away And face.s up toward God, And goes the way he knows is safe, Which noble men have trod. A man is not a coward, sir. Who loves the royal truth, Who lives a noble, manly life ' Throughout his days of youth, And on across the years of life, Whatever be the test. Desiring in his heart and soul To give the world his best grandest gatherings we ha^e ever seen staged. George Coble, principal owner of Coble Dairy Products company, was the genial host who before the dinner appeared in the door way and asked all to ‘‘come and get it,” before he threw it away, or w'ords to that effect. ■— Cities, Counties May Set Reserve Raleigh.—The state, which al ready is taking step.s to provide a post-war reserve for Itself, indi cated in the legislature that an equal opportunity would be af forded cities and counties. With the full support of State Treeaurer Charles Johnson, a measure introduced by.. Senator O'Berry of Wayne would permit the local governments to create reserves and designate the bank or trust company to serve as a depository. The procedure would be under supervision of the local government coijimission, of which the stale treasurer is chairman. The fund could be used for im provements or to supplement pro ceeds of bond sales, anticipation notes or federal grants, or money that might be borrowed tempor arily to meet the appropriation made for the then-current fiscal year in anticipation of tax collec tions. There would be a 25 per cent limit of the total apT?ropria- tlon for financing the fiscal year and the obligation must he repaid within 30 days of the close of thf fiscal year. The fund also could be invested in bonds or notes of the federal, state or local government, or could be used for purchasing and r Hiring outstanding bonds of the local governmental unit maturing fore than 10 days from the with drawal date. The. liiw now provides that local surpluses must he used for tar reduction the following fiscal year. f Treasurer Johnson said some time ago that many cities and counties had built np surpluses and that In his opinion it would be wise to allow them to set siside the money for post-war rainy days. All men in the State of North Carolina between the ages of ^18 and 38, who have been subject to Selective Service registration for as long as six months and who do not have their classification cards were advised today by (Jeneral J. Van B. Metts, State Director of Selective Service, to communicate with their local boards at once. Oil -kiW'tffter Wbmary-t, tbB-Dl- rector pointed out, any man in this age group who does not have in his personal possession his classi fication card (Form 57), as well as his Certificate of Registration is liable to fine or imprisonment, or both. The recent order of the Selective Service Bureau of the War Man power Commission, setting the February 1 deadline for posse.s.sion of Classification Cards by men of military ages, has met with very prompt response in North Carolina the Director said. Many regis trants are reporting to their local boards, requesting classification or asking that lost Classification Cards be duplicated. However, Di rector Metis says he believes there are still a few who have failed to get in touch with their beards because of carelessness or negligence. Registrants in the 45-to-65 year- old group are not affected by the order. .And Director Metts said there are actually only a handful of men in the State who can be considered as delinquent, according to Selective Service regulations, for failure to keep in touch with their lo«^^ boards. Nevertheless, he that in the pfe^nt emergrocy no mail will be allowed to avoid military responsibility rherely because of failure to keep his l^i board advised of his wfiereadKiuts. Wilkes Local Board No. 2 is completing classification • of all registrant.H by Feb. 1, 1943. Any one who hasn't received a classi fication card by that time should get in touch with the board at' once. This does not apply to those who have recently registered. , V- HOVV OOU)R r.W .AFFECT OCR TEMPER AND HE.AT/TH GOING UP Have you heard liboiit the salesman who started on a shoe string?
