Hanilt, state 4-Itllnb leader, describe the 4-H Olnh^Aclilevement Day held in Wllkeaboro as a most success ful erent.* A letter of Mr. McCrary to J. B. Snipes, Wilkes county agent, follows: “I want ^o congratulate you Extension workers for putting on the biggest achievement day we have ever had In North Carolina, so far as I am able to determine. 1 don’t think I have ever heard of another achievement day that had 800 club members attending. “There were several things that impressed me at the meeting. One was the cooperation of county of ficials, business men, and others. A victory spirit pervaded the meeting. Such meetings do not just happen—every detail has to bo planned. You Extension work ers are to be congratulated for doing such a fine job, and I cer tainly hope that we can have an even larger achievement day m 1944." Mr. Harrlll’s letter to H. C. Colvard, assistant county agent, was as follows: “Your Achievement Day pro gram was excellent.

Maizes on &ttth Pacific Isle > Washington, Nov. 8. — War Pood Administrator Marvin Jones today appointed Prank Hancock, Oxford, N. C., as administrator of the farm security administration. Hancock, a former congress man, will take office about No vember 16. He succeeds C. B. Baldwin, who resigned to direct foreign relief under the state de partment. Hancock represented the fifth district of North Carolina In Con gress from 1930 to 1938. He also served as regional director of the Home Owners Loan corporation In North Carolina. "I have selected a man who I believe can do this job and I am placing complete responsibility on him for administering the PSA program In such a way as to make the most effective contribution to the war effort," Jones said. •V Argentina has a campaign to reduce the cost of living. clearly Indicate that much work had been done In connection with the program, but more than that everything was in evidence to the fact that there Is a fine spirit of cooperation and unity of effort on fhe part of all the agents In the :ounty. Added to this Is the fine cooperaUon and support you peo ple are receiving from the county superintendent of schools and the business Interests and organisa tions In your county. Seldom does one find such a combination, but wherever It Is found, there Is always an outstanding program of 4-H Club work. I would like to congratulate each one of you and to wish for you continued success In the 4-H and other phases of your Extension program in Wilkes county. • 'It was a pleasure and an In spiration to attend such a meet ing.” Vm your rran whc's always THERE I’m REDDY KILOWAn But just because I am always there please Hon^t waste mv energy.

Troop MowaMt 4oh Efiili 1| Woi4d Trips For Eocry FcnopIsThiiOoHty Taking all of Wilkes county’s 43,003 people around the world in sleeping cars nearly 16 times would be a tremendous undertak ing, yet that Is actually about the size of the troop movement Job reported today by The' Pullman Company. Since Pearl Harbor, Pullman has carried about 14,000,000 troops a distance of more than 16 billion passenger miles In its sleeping cars, the company re ports. These figures are said to cover mass military movements alone, and do not Include the heavy travel of furloughed men and others. 'Many of the boys from Wilkes county, like servicemen from ail parts of the country, are getting fhelr first Pullman rides, accord ing to George A. Kelly, vibe presi dent of the company. Now most of them are making six or seven trips by Pullman, as the intense training program of the armed services necessitates that many moves or more prior to embarka tion for points abroad, he said. In addition, the Army and Navy be lieves in all the comfort possible for the members of the armed forces, he declared, and about two thirds of all military move ments by rail are by Pullman sleeper. Pullman Is now carrying more than 800,000 troops every month in mass movements, it is revealed by Mb. Kelly, who pointed out that in addition to this heavy and steadily increasing military pas senger burden, civilian travel it self is also at a record-breaking level. He believes that Pullman’s passenger-mile volume for 1943 may exceed the 1942 alltime high of 19 billion by 30 or more per cent. , “The military and civilian pas senger burden of Pullman and the railroads today la so heavy,” Kelly said, “that there is unfor tunately little margin left for some of the conveniences travelers en joyed In peacetime. Service to day is wartime service, and by their understanding and toler ance of this fact, travelers can help ns greatly In the performance of our vital job”. V Desert Trsunsng By Pfc. WOHARD H. ANDERSON In the California desert, Mojave Ig the spot, Battling a terrific heat wave In the land that God forgot. All night the cold keeps coming. It’s more than a man can stand. Along with wind and sand storms. Which are not at our command. down with snakes and lizards, Down where a man gets blue, Down at the very bottom. Thousands of miles from you. Just sitting here and thinking. Of what we left behind. I’d hate to put on paper What’s' running through my mind. We're up at five each morning. For reveille when the bugle blows. And stand our dally duties— By a whistle the sergeant blows. We wash our mess kits dally. Our knife, spoon, and cup. And wish we had a home cooked , .asaal, • To keep our spirits up. K.

Families In the Farm Security Administration program are giv ing ..special attratlon to their health this year,'according to Mrs. Mary - B. .^Oale, associate F3A supervlBor (home 'Management) for Wilkes and Aletander conn- ties. Mrs. Gale has returned from a one-day home nnrring training school held on November 4, 1943, at High Point. • Repre sentatives from 17 'counties at tended. Mrs. Gale, who works with 349 Small farm families In the two counties, says that FSA's records show that food production usual ly declines on a farm where some one in the family Is 111. Also, that when every ounce of food Is need ed to help our country win the war, it is more Important than ever that farm families keep strong and healthy. At the meeting, refresher studies were made of the Daily Routine In the sick room, the home medicine cabinet, recogni tion of common diseases, prena tal, postnatal, and inflant care, home nursing practices, and child care. Eixhlblts of many useful home made devices tor the sick room were on display, outstanding of which were a homemade bed tray, back rest, foot rest, bed cradle, bed pads, and blocks tor raising height of bed. Other dis plays included maternity clothing, inf^ts’ layettes, and a fully equipped war time medicine cabi net. Information and guidance on health, nutrition, sanitation.

Answer: The sweet potato cur ing house should be ke]^ at about 75 to 80 degrees during the curing period. If temperatures are al lowed’to run too high the potatoes in the top tier of baskets will cure cut, much faster than those (n the lower baskets and an uneven cure will result. As soon as the pota toes in the top baskets begin to show evidence of sprouting the heat should be lowered- Tim best tcmperatqse for storing is nyound 58 degrees.
