THURSDAY, DEC. 2, 1943 Attend Farm Meetings— The Agricultural council in Wilkes has scheduled 23 meetings of farmers for next week to explain the food and feed produc tion goals for 1943. Regardless of the course of the war dur ing the coming year, the demand for food is going to be the greatest in history of America, and every farmer can be assured of a ready market for what he produces. Our nation is committed to an all-out war program, and food is just as import ant as guns, tanks, ships, planes and other implements of warfare. Not only must we furnish food and plenty of it for our fight ing men, but we must furnish food for our less fortunate allies if we are to gain the earliest possible victory. The schedule of farm meetings was car ried in this newspaper Monday. We urge every farmer and every person interested in farming to attend the meeting most con venient. Cadet Nur^e Corps- The government is calling for a large number of young women to become cadet nurses. This represents an opportunity of a life time to girls who wish to secure a lifetime education free. All expenses are paid, and the cadets get some pay while in training. Nurses are ser\'ing all over the world, and the drain on the supply of nurses has become too great. That is why more girls must become nurses and that is why the cadet nurses corps was formed. Information we have from headquarters is that 65,000 must enter accredited schools of nursing this year if the goal is to be reached. If you can answer “yes” to the follow ing questions you can qualify for cadet nurse training: Are you between 17 and 35 years of age? Are you in good health? Have you graduated from an accredited high school with satisfactory grades, or have you had some college education? Are you interested in science? Have you a sense of humor? Have you an orderly mind? Are you neat? Are you deft with your hands? Are you quick to grasp what you see, read and hear? Are you interested in people? Full information and pamphlets describ ing the opportunities available can be ob tained from the office of the Wilkes hos pital in this city. V Fire Is Hell— When a famous general remarked that, “War is Hell”, he summed up in three words the opinion of all mankind. The same description aptly applies to another universal evil—preventable fire. Like war, something must sooner or later be done to curb it. In the tragedy of the Cocoanut Grove night club at Boston, last fall, 490 lives were abruptly snuffed out by fire, A fe\' days earlier, American troops disembark ed from hundreds of ships on the hostile shores of Algeria and Morocco and quick ly athieved the capitulation of those two territories comprising 14,800,000 popula tion, It was officially reported that 360 of our soldiers and sailors were killed hi this vast landing operation. This gives a small idea of the problems which this country faces in its effort to put a brake on our $300,000,000 annual fire Itt Proclaimihg Fire Prevention Week a abort time ago, the President of the United Stafet |bM: ' '"This hation’s war progtahi is menaced by, an alanafttg Increase in ventable fire lossed.’^ Since the deletion caused by fire in the Unit- ed States has been comparable to the dam age caused by all enemy bombing # oyer England during the first two years of the war. The loss to this nation is just as real as if the destruction had bwn wrought.by enemy bombers over America, or by sabO teurs. -V [ BoiTbUNkl COmittMtt DO YdUR 0#N STAhll* UCklNi (Oxford Public Ledger) Licking 5O0 to 1,000 staihbS attd blaclhg them oh letters or cards is quite a task, and few people will willingly undertake it as pasttiine. Yet, that is the task that some of our mail carriers fall heir to in the busy days of December preceding Christmas. It has become a custom in many homes to drop letters into the mail box and to place there with suffiaioit money to pay for the stamps which the sender expects the postman to affix to the letters or cards. In behalf of our friends and your friend, the postman, whether he be a Rural Free Delivery man or a City Route man, we wish to make a small request. Of course the postman could make his own, but the good- natured, accommodating fellow fhat he is, he wouldn’t offend one for anything. The request which we wish to make is that every patron of the mail service anti cipate his or her requirements in stamps and purchase those stamps in advance! either from the postman or at post office. And then, when there Is occasion to mail Christmas cards, letters and other matter, there will be no occasion to ask of your postman a little favor for you which when performed for a large number of other people, becomes quite a large job. How about it folks—especially those of you on the rural routes—will you promise to affix your own stamps and relieve your postman of the time and labor that it would take to do the job? 9 LIFE’S BETTER WAY i WALTER E, ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. IMPORTANT WORK A man’s work in life should be import- ant. No one can afford to devote his life to something that is useless. Time is too precious to be wasted upon that which is not worthy to live by and will not do to die by. Life is short, therefore is too precious and priceless to be idled away, or even toiled away at non-essentials. A life may be spent at hard work of no importance, which can be a great curse. This is true of many, many people. They curse the world by their work rather than bless it. However, when we are doing important work—that which God can set His appro val upon—we should consider it beneath us to step aside and waste our time at that which would displease God. The right work is so important that we have no time to spend at the wrong kind of work. We cannot afford to take ourselves away from the right to spend time in the wrong. When Nehemiah was rebuilding the broken down walls of Jerusalem, and re storing the city to its former beauty and usefulness, Sanballat and Geshem, who were enemies to him, whose purpose it was to defeat his work, sent unto him, saying, “Come, let us meet together in some of the villages in the plain of Ono”. How ever, Nehemiah knew they thought to do him mischief, so sent them word, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down; why should the work cease. Whilst I leave it and come down to you?” That should be our attitude toward the devil and the work he seeks to engage u.s in. We should tell him that we cannot come down—and indeed it is coming down when we are stopping and stooping to do the wrong, or waste our time in the wrong. Nehemiah was on the walls of Jerusalem repairing them, and this was important work in the sight of God, as God was hon oring his work, answering his prayers anji defeating his enemies. He won out. The devil would have'every man of God come down in order to defeat us. His entice ments and proposed compromises afe fil- ways to bring us down» bring others down, and to bring down the cause of right, the cause of God, tweek and destrby life iihd damn souls in hell.

This 1b the way It used to be bo with U8 "up on the farm”. On the night before we -would cut Bome wood about four feet long, and build It into a pile in which We placed large atones of grey granite. About five a. m. next morning we put fire to the pile and as the wood burned, the rocks got hot. A largQ barrel was placed near by In a reclining position, and about half filled with water. We would put the red hot rocks Into the barrel of water to heat the water, and throw in some ashes to make the water do a better job of scalding the hog clean. Then a rifle was carried along with which to first put the hog out of misery before sticking said hog in thp throat with a long knife, which, in case you didn't know, was to let the blood out. After said hog was dressed and cut Into the usual pieces, the women folks took over the job and us men folks took the guns and went rabbit hunting. Might as well confess that was a mean thing to do with so much to be done around the house, but never theless, we did, and usually killed some rabbits at the time, when meat was least needed. Mean while the women folks had the task of "doing out the lard" all by themselves. That was the old way of doing things. Many improvements have been made, but the atmosphere of "Hawg killing'' time is about the a Alfi-FNue SaIHIom Biiilt AIMLESS WANDERINGS— There was a man who was try ing to pass an insurance examlna Certain types of kntl-freeze so lutions have been found to be highly destructive to radiators, ignition system and rubber eon- neotlons in automonfles and trpeks.
