THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1943 Food Conservation The Food Conservation organization started in Wilkes should be of major bene fit as a war time measure. Now we are urging production of food, nnd the women are organized to promote conservation of food, which is just as im portant. It is essential that great quantities of food be produced at home, but such pro duction cannot be of great benefit unless that food is conserved in such a way that it will go farthest to feed the people at home and abroad. Canning, preserving and drying are the principal methods of conserving food at home for future use. In your victory garden this year there will be times when you will have surpluses of vegetables. That will be canned, pre served or dried for use next winter unless you want to sell it while it is fresh. That which you keep for winter use will mean that much you will not have to buy, thus releasing commercially packed food for the armed forces and our allies. The organization the women are putting forth intends to reach every home in the county, urging the importance of food pro duction and conservation. It will go further than ai^'appB^.Demr... onstrations will be held in reach of all homes>, showing the housewives the best methods of food conservation. Complete cooperation with the move ment by all the people is of prime impor tance. As we have said before, we cannot over emphasize the vital importance of food production this season, neither can we overstate the need to conserve and use wisely the food produced. V Use Care In Burning Brush Farmers clearing land for new ground, or otherwise burning brush in connection with spring planting, were urged to use extreme care to prevent forest fire. Joseph C. Kircher, Regional Forester of the U. S. Forest Service appealed to land owners to cooperate with State and Federal Protec tion Agencies in reducing the number of forest fires resulting from carele.ssness. According to Forest Service officials a large number of destructive forest fires have already occurred this spring as a re sult of carele.ss brush burning. In addition to destroying timber, farm homes and equipment, the smoke from these fires has slow’ed aviation and artillery training programs. Valuable hours of manpower have been lost in controlling fires, where fire crews were drawn from military camps and war industries. As a result of the seriousness of this sit uation F. B. I. agents and military authori ties are investigating a number of these * fires, and federal charges will be in.stigat- ed under the sabotage act. Offici.ils point ed out that the destruction of war vital tim ber or endangering of military establish ments will be classed as sabotage where the fire results from either carelessness or malicious intent. A reasonable amount of care will eliminate these fires, Kircher em phasized. Brush should be burned only on wind less days—stacks of brush should be kept small. Before burning a fire line should be plowed or raked around the area burn ed, plenty of help with tools to control any spot fires should be available. Last, but not'least, the ashes should be kept w«et do^ to parevent sparks from blowing the afite file workers leave the field. wfitee'.&^e and’ the food ^lortife and otter •- people fiice. , . ‘ These letters make |t seem obvious that some chronic grumblers have be’en wntmg soldi^ overseas some exaggerated of woe and want. ^ ^ The soldiers have enough trouble of their own when they get on the other sidd without putting any of our little worries on their shoulders. ^ a Everybody has had plenty fo eat so, far, and good food at that. Prospects are that the food supply at home will continue to be sufficient if the people of the home front do their duty in food production and conservation. When you write the soldier overseas write words of cheer and encouragement and don’t weight him down with your troubles which are nothing compared to what he has to face. Don’t complain be cause you can’t buy all the choice things you want, and for goodness sake don’t gripe because you can’t do pleasure riding all over the country. Let him know you are back of him 100 per cent that you are getting along all right, and that if you have to make sacri fices you will consider it a privilege instead of a burden. Backing Them Up A sign of the times is the growing con cern of our fighting men with the prob lems that will confront us after the war. They have an excellent idea of what they are fighting for, and a determination to return to the same democracy they left, with a free industrial system able to give them jobs. They want to know, and should know, that, besides providing for their military needs during the war, industry here at home is planning improvements for the postwar era which will assure them an even better standard of living than they had before and will include jobs for them. In recognition of this objective, the Nat ional Association of Manufacturers, in co operation with the National Broadcasting Company, has sponsored a weekly serie.s of broadcast by major industralists that is being shortwaved to the European and Af rican war theatres. " ^In one "address in the diHes; Paul W.‘ i Lichfield, Chairman of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, told the boys that they’ll get all the tires and rubber they need, and that “the ingenuity of American industry which has converted all its re sources to war, will at the proper time con vert them back to peacetime ways which will insure you and your family a better civilization after victory than any of ns have known up to now. “Our first job is to win the war—a job you have tackled in the true American fighting spirit, and we on the home front are backing you up in every way at our command.” V Let IKS not forget the necessity of buying war bonds. Purchase of bonds helps keep down inflation, which is very destructive to the economic structure of bu.siness and plays havoc with the cost of living stabili zation efforts. Money which goes into bonds will finance victory and will be needed by the bond holders when the se curities mature.

He Svent home, took his two hams from the smokehouse, emp tied the .safe in his home of a lot of currency and put in the hams, because they were more valusbie.

In town yesterday, said he had a letter from his son in North Africa, re cently and. the boy said it was hard to make the natives under stand what they wanted when they went to the store to make a pur chase. He »aid his son was on k. p. duty some time .igo and the mess officer sent him to town _to get a few eggs for the officer’s mess. He went in the store and looked aroundj to see if he could find any eggs, and not seeing any he preceded tp draw an egg. The native handed him an apple, he tried again and that lime he got an Irish ’later. In desperation he looked around, saw a lemon, pick ed it up, held it between his legs, let it drop, flapped his arms by his side and cackled. The officers had eggs for breakfast. .VJ* Dazed and hurt, British lorry driver Leonard Orchard, Is assisted- by a comrade after his lorry stmek a land mine in North Africa.

T. Dowd, U. S. Marshal for the middle district, may have important in fluence on the re-election campaign of Senator Robert R. Reynolds. People whose activities revolve around the state capitol 'are no more cold blooded or lacking in sympathy than folks elsewhere. Their survival depends upon alertness to chang ing political situations, and when a prom inent official dies or resigns speculation as to his successor begins immediately. Bill Dowd’s funeral had not been held when the gossip started. Nq time was lost in Major Edney Ridge’s appointment by Senator Reynolds. Senator Bailey and Reynolds have di vided middle district patronage by agree ment, Bailey suggests the attorney apd Rejoiolds the marshal. In the western dis trict Reynolds names both and in the east Bailey recommends the- whole staff. In terim appoinlanents are made by the Presi dent, subject to senate confirmation. Un-j der that system. Senator Reynolds named, Major Ridge to fill Dowd’s unexpired: term runaing to-1946. \ -- i MODE.S OP EXPRESSION ■A good story is the one about the boy who left the farm and got In the city. He wrote a letter to his br9ther- who elected to stick by the farui, telling of the joys of city life, in which he said: “Thurs day we autoed out to the country club where we golfed until dark, then we motored to the beach and. Frldayed there.” The brother on the farm wrote back: "Yesterday we buggldd 'to town and beseballed all after noon. Today we muled out to the cornfield and gee-hawed until sundown. Then we suppered, and then we piped for a while. After that we staircased up to our room and bedsteaded until the clock fived.”—San Francisco Argonrut. -V- F. D. I.
