THURSDAY, NOV. 23,1944 Thanksgiving With the world torn by war, you may have a bitter feeling that you don’t have much to be thankful for at this season. It is not possible to enumerate all our blessings, but in gratefulness we should re flect on some of them to the extent that we shall no longer entertain the thoughts that we should not be thankful. It is true that the world is at war, and it is also true that the Allied Nations, which are upholding rights of men, are winning the victory, a fact which should make us all thankful. The people in America can be especially thankful that the actual ravages of war have not visited our shores. Destructive machines of warfare have not laid waste our land. No bombs have fallen on our cities and factories, no plane.s have strafed our streets, no secret gestapo has shadowed our homes, we still move and have our beings as free individuals. There has been plenty of food for everybody and the people of our nation are well clothed. Contrast these blessed conditions in our own country with what you know exists in many other parts of the world. This is surely an appropriate time to turn to the Giver Of All in sincere Thanksgiv ing and with a prayer for His leadership in the trying days ahead. V Hog Killing Time The cold weather of the past several days is a reminder that hog killing time is here.. The extension service has some fine helps for farmers relative to the produc tion and curing of meat. J. B. Snipes, county agent, makes some interesting com ments in the following article: “In going over the county we notice a number of hogs which are in good condi tion to kill as soon as the weather will per mit. It has been proven time and time again that most economical gains are made before the hogs reach 300 pounds in weight. In other words, hogs gain faster before they reach 300 pounds than they do above 300 pounds. Therefore, it takes more feed to put weight on large hogs than it does small ones. Since feed is high and there is always the danger of cholera at this time of the year, it might be wise to keep these things in mind and kill your hogs when you think the weather is cold enough for keeping meat. We have in the county agent’s office a number of agricul- tunral bulletins on killing and curing pork and also receipts for making sausage which we will be glad to give all hog raisers who will call for them”. V. Selective Cutting A tremendous amount of puipwood could be cut in Wilkes county without de stroying any great amount of young trees which would make lumber in the years to tne. We would continue to urge the people Wilkes county to cut puipwood, because Ipwood is so vitally needed in the war ogram, and marketing puipwood is a endid source of added income for the m. 3ut in this connection we wish to point ; that the extension service will be glad assist the farmers and timber men with nee on selective cutting. J. B. Snipes, Ikes county agent, made the following nment on the subject: ‘Since this is the time of year when a lot wood is being cut and that there is such reat demand for pulp wood, we plan to on several timber thinning demonstra- M over the county. The wood which is oned can be used for fire wood or sold puipwood but we want to keep in mind fact that sound, straight trees which will grow into saleable timber should not be cut at this time. Mr. M. B. Bryan, ex tension Farm Forester, states that if there is enough interest shown that he will get a puipwood representative to bring a pow er saw here and we can use this in the demonstration. There are thousands of acres of good timber land in Wilkes coun ty and our saw mill and lumber dealers | are making a big contribution in the war effort in furnishing large amounts of lum ber and puipwood which is being used in the war program; but at the same time we should be resetting and reserving enough of our young timber to meet our future needs. “In addition to the demonstrations that we plan, Mr. Bryan, farm forester, and I win be glad to assist any farmer who wish es to have a thinning demonstration con ducted on his farm. If you wish to have such a demonstration, plerfse let it be known to the county agent’s office”. V ' r.- ■■ nm- TfiURIfiAir, NdV. A B N o R M AL ABsworriEs Borrowed Comment CIGARETTE SHORTAGE (Greensboro Daily News) There seem to be about as many expla nations for the existing cigarette shortage as there are spokesmen to offer them. At Winston-Salem a cigarette manufac turing company official cites three reasons in their order of importance: (1) Shortage of leaf tobacco, resulting from limitation on the crop, company purchases and gov ernment purchases for foreign countries under the lend-lease program: (2) ship ments of cigarettes abroad, now accounting for one-fourth to one-third of all cigarettes produced; and (3) increased general de mands for cigarettes in this country. At Durham, however, a company spokes man recently attributed the trouble of hi.s organization to labor shortages and charg ed that WMC’s freezing of labor prevented the taking on of needed employees who were otherwise available. Somewhere in the complicated picture room must be found for thp official report of the state department of agriculture that flue-cured tobacco growers in North Caro lina, contrary to previous showings, failed by 57,000 acres to meet the quotas allowed them this season by the agricultural adjust ment administration. Without serving anybody’s particularist cause, it does appear that multiple govern ment agencies, which control allotments, purchases, prices, wages and labor priori ties, have first responsibility to go into a huddle and see if their own cross-purposes or conflicting efforts, justifiably or unjusti fiably, are entering into a situation about which still other Washington spokesmen appear to be increasingly perturbed. V t LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. ACHING HEARTS There are so many aching hearts tonight To which I’d like to bring relief— Something to cheer, uplift and make things right. Something that would remove the grief. And bring the balm of gladness in to stay. The joy that in the spirit rhymes. That turns the darkness of the night to day And lifts the soul to sunny climes. There are so many aching hearts tonight Caused by as many things of wrong; Yes, things that hurt, injure, depress and blight; That seem to hold a countless throng. And keep them from life’s better, higher things Until I’d like to find a cure That would heal the wounds and remove the stings, And make success for all quite sure. There are so many aching hearts tonight That no man on this earth can heal. Though it is well we do with all our might The things that duty may reveal; Yet there’s a cure for ev’ry human ill. Yes, ev’ry heartche, e’ry woe. So I’ll prescribe, and listen if you will. It’s Jesus Christ who loves us so. There are so many aching hearts tonight. Then come to Christ with all your sighs; He’ll bring you joy and make your path way bright. And help you win life’s pearls and prizes The best there is for you upon the earth— Health, happiness and the deepest peace. And then beyond He’ll give your soul sweet mirth Where glories never, never cease. Try... to Bay.» More Boads! By DWIGHT NICHOI^ et al BLANK for BfOROVB— Contrary to expectations, there has been response to the plea in this column a week ago tor speeders, drunk drivers, etc., to fill out information about their lives and families so this and other newspapers might have the information when the bad news happens. One blank we received was fill ed out for a man, but was evi dently filled out by his wife. Af ter giving all the family informa tion there was this comment: "Here’s your information. I’m sending it in for my husband be cause some of these times when he’s out riding around at midnight he might get bumped off in an ac cident and I don’t want any snooping reporter disturbing my sleep to learn now old he was, what his occupation is, and the names of the survivors. I’m sav ing myself that much bother”. thanksgiving^— On this Thanksgiving Day one of the greatest blessings which people enjoy is not living in Ger many or Japan. Thanksgiving Day was not so much of a holiday on the farms of this county several years ago as the poets would like one to be lieve. That used to be the regu lar hog killing Jate, provided the hogs and the weather were rlglit for slaughtering After the hogs were cut up the men would go hunting and the women would work with the meat for the re mainder of the day and part of the night.

POOR MATHFJVIATICIAN— Jimmy was shaking his pet rab bit, demanding with each shake; Jimmy—How much is five and five? Father (coming on the scene)— What are you doing to that rab bit? Jimmy—^Aw, shucks, our teach er says rabbits multiply rapidly, and this one can’t even add. ■WOULDN'T TRUST HIM— A tottering and grim farmer of 28 years went to consult a success ful young lawyer: Farmer—Young man, I want to leave all I possess to my wife as long as she remains my widow, and after that I want everything to go to my children. Lawyer—How old is your wife, sir? Farmer—Seventy-four. Lawyer—Then wouldn’t it be quite safe to leave out the dis courteous phrase about so long .'is she remains your widow? Just leave her everything. Farmer—Indeed I won’t. Lawyer—But, surely, you don’t think your wife—74 now—will marry again after your death, do you? Farmer (looking the young man fully In the face and solemnly say ing)—Well, sir, there’s no telling what young chaps like yon would do for money. North GarolU^ IVBkai- (To^ty.
