THURSDAY, AUG. 26, 1943 Sdliool EDTollment Wartiine school enrollment figures tell something about labor supply as well as giving statistics of educational nature. School authorities report that the high school enrollment is slightly off this year, which is opposite the trend which has pre vailed during the past few years. The lower high school enrollment is easily explained. Many of the boys sftid girls who have reached 16 years of age have taken jobs to help in the war effort and to make money and they are not in terested in quitting earning pay checks to enter school. And there have been many high school boys who have entered the navy. Some few have been drafted. We have no quarrel with those who have taken jobs, because the security of the na tion demands all the labor available in the war effort. But we do think that when the emergency is over every effort should be made to encourage them to take up in school where they left off and complete their scholastic careers. Pulpwood Needed In order to carry on a successful war to ultimate and complete victory, all phases of supply m»»t be looked^ after just the same as training of fighting men. It so happens that the nation needs pa per and other things which are made of pulpwood, which is now a vital war ma terial. Not enough pulpwood is being cut to supply the needs. That is the why of the newspaper’s drive to increase the supply of pulpwood. . There is a market here for pulpwood, and many Wilkes farmers can find that they can cut large quantities of pulpwood without endangering their future supply of lumber. There is hardly any limit to the amount of pulpwood which could be cut in Wilkes county without doing serious injury to forests. We would advise that before you cut any great amount of pulpwood you contact M. B. Bryan, extension farm fores ter, at the county agent’s office, and have him help you with plans for proper fores try management. Borrowed Comment PIIRLIC ACCOUNTABILITY (Greensboro Daily News) The Daily News has no disposition what- er to try or to pre-judge two North Caro- a law enforcement officers, Lt. W. B. ntz, head of the state highway patrol r western North Carolina, and Guy Scott, ^estigator for the state bureau of investi- tion, who are ‘at liberty under bond nding disposition of indictments return- against them in Wilkes county Superior art and alleging larc^y, receiving and )lations of the prohibition laws in con- ction with reported disappearance of ome 90 cases of liquor”. This is business r the coiffts and it is left for their handl- j We are assuming that the defendants ll be ably defended and that there will nllarly be vigorous prosecution in order at the cause of justice may be served. It is not li9cussing the pending case, as ih to observe, however, that the fact at the defendants are law enforcement ents has focused public interest and at- jtion on the matter and calls for an in stigation, outside the courts, by higher thority as it relates to both state agen- 1 TSe-principals make this far more an ordinary (?*ee.

This fleet of the mighthave-beell would ‘include four great battleships of, the line; two plane■>carriers, six light cruisers; 10 destroyers, eight submarines, and 14 de stroyer escorts. This is the f»et which could have been built by the man hours in American indus: try whiclr have been and will be lost iti 1943 at pre'sent rate of industrial time wastage. This loss of man ho.urs is flue in part to accidents both on and off the jobs. It is partly due to drinking by workers and the hang-overs which follow. It is due in some degp*ee to iBness, and the fact that many women workers are forced to take time out of the factories on account of family problems and concerns. A lot of it is due to apathy and selfishness, in some instances on the part of relatively small but powerful groups within the ranks of labor, in others to apathy and selfishness among certain men in the ranks of man agement. Too, some of it is due to con fusion and fumbling within the circles of government. It is illogical and unfair, therefore, to insist that delays in war production are aV together due to any one group or Taction in the industrial war drama. All along the line are those who are consciously or unconsciously throwing monkey wrenches in 'the machinery now and then. It is the duty of all Americans everywhere on the home front to strive incessantly and assidu ously to prevent this delay, this sabotage. To do less is to cheat their fellow workers, to betray the boys on the firing line—to hurt iynerica and themselves. V DWIGHT^ imCHOLSi j- '.

UPSET PLANS No doubt we all know what it is to have our plans upset now and then, here and there. Sometimes we suffer much as a consequence. There have been times, perhaps, when our plans were upset that we came very near going down with them, maybe never to rise again. Only the power of God prevented it. > It is not always to be understood, at least for the time being, just why some plans fails to materalize. Perhaps the devil upset it, as this is his business. Es pecially does he upset plans oftentimes which are calculated to do much and last ing good. However, if we will pray much, be true and faithful unto God, and trust Him for other plans, we may be assured that He will bring us out victorious. May be He somet^es allows the enemy to up set our plans ’n order to give us something better. We should not be knocked off our feet if the enemy upsets some pl»; but draw closer to God, pray more, love and obey Him more, sincerely and leave it all in His hands to work out for us. Praise His holy name. It is perhaps a fact that our plans may be upset sometimes by God. He can and will wreck them when it pleases Him. He knows best. Maybe our plans were not for the best, therefore He laid them in the dust. No doubt this has been the case with many people. But if we really and truly love the Lord, and will hold right on to His unchanging hand, and will keep faith in 'Him, and stay humble and prayerful. He will work it all olit to glory. -Amen. Perhaps We sometimes plan too small. God wants something larger. He sees wherein we would come short of our best, therefore He upsets the plan in order to lead us out on a different line, to ward a different place and goal. He knows best. We should always trust Him, No doubt God has upset the plans of sinners across the ages of time in order to save him from a life of failure, wreck '.f.

Fin ally the pushing and pulling pro cess got us to a garage, where the mechanic worked and did more pushing and pulling but with no results. Next he drained the gas tank and took out almost two gallons of water, just ordinary water. Well, that started us downhill in our resolve'to reduce use of profanity to an' Irreducible min imum. We wanted to cut loose on all oil companies,. service sta tions, etc. After the water was drained and some gasoline put In the tank the car would run, but three hours had passed and some money had passed to the garage man for his labor and j^tience Next roornitti the" service sta tion man cali«4,on.,the phone: «‘nta trouble I fi blank) time, H to run last night:” } i f “No wonderi’’: he said, “you pickdd up Water can yester- you day ('evening ,‘and of course poured watet in your car.’” UXDKRSWjliuiNG liADY— This underfed reporter had another go^ meal Saturday—at the press association meeting at Shatley Springs. , It there is anything we like better than fried chicken It Is country ham, and If there is any thing better.than count.*y ham, it is fried chicken. At Shatley Springs they served both in great quantities. Starting on the chicken, which was piled on a big platter just In front of our place (we picked the location), we were just a bit be fuddled as to which pieces were .white meat. In fact, it all looked like legs. I The gracious lady Just across the table, Mrs. Storie from Mar shall, N. C., had an understand ing Idea.

It is high in food value. Cheese'is also an exoeUent source ox vitamins A and G, some B1 and a little D. The home economists have fig ured out that five ounces of Am erican (Cheddar) cheese are about equal to one quart of milk. It’s no wonder that cheese was one of the first foods that Eng land asked the United States to send across the Atlantic. It will serve as the main protein dish for a meal and can be used as a fla vorful and nutritious addition to an oven dish, soup, or sauce. Macaroni-and-cheese is a favor ite dish. There’s cheese with spa- glietti, rice,_ grits, or com meal. Cheese can be melted and served on crisp toast or crackers. To make it “tops”, you need a dash of cayenne or paprika. Some peo ple like to add onion juice for high flavor. Cheese makes it easy for you to use vegetables as a main dish. It goes especially well in scalloped potatoes, corn, or a mixture of vegetables. A tangy, cheese sauce di esses up cooked broccoli, cauli flower, or asparagus. For cooking our food, experts recommend the kind called Amer ican or C!heddar cheese. But you will find that this cheese has lots of flavor variations. There's the fresh American cheeser-rmild.^n ffgvor and -soft’ in textmKi^'^Be older cheese haB a sharper, more tangy flavor, and it’s usually dry and crumbly. , ■> The home economists say that you shouldn’t “cook” cheese at all —just heat enough to melt it. Otherwise, the cheese is almost certain to get tough and stringy, 'fo blend cheese with other foods you must grate it or shave it thin. rV •‘Claimfots in Btorth Wilkes- horo area wqre awaVdel only 68. benefit«ehrtks amounting to |4#e.60*dorIngJuIy”; ^“Throngtoouf the state there was a.sU^ incratse in initial claims tail^ metoth due to the Ito- glnni^ of a new-haae-perlod year when ctaimgnts who have ea> hausted'^ir^^wrtfe credits for the previous yrtr’have access to addi tional credits,^ but the continued- claim-load maintained the down ward trend n’bich began in the spring of 1848.” ‘|As a result of this favoraole aituatlon,” Curtis said, “the Com mission’s fund balance of almost 65 millhm dollars brought in in terest .from the United States treasury, where it is deposited, the sum of 1876,071.49 for the first half of 1943.

Dale, for mer sheriff of Burke county, and Wilbar WiUson, who was one of his deputies, were acquitted in Superior court here of charges of wrongdoing in offlte. 'The jury deliberated for about 25 minutes. After charges of ’conspiracy to violate the slot machine law against both defendants had been nonsuited by Judge J. A. Rous seau and after he bad directed a verdict of not guilty in connection with the bribery indictment against Dale, there was only on ' count against the former sheriff for the jury to consider today. That was a charga of willfully omitting, neglecting and refusing to do his duty, a misdemeanor, and Dale was declared not guilty of that. Wilson was acquitted of two bribery charges and another alleg ing willful omission, neglect and refusal of duty. Attorneys’ speeches and the judge's charge occupied the morn ing session of the court, the ver dict of not guilty coming in the afternoon. Dale closed a four-year term a.« sheriff last December.
