VICTORY LOAN Christmas Shopping A casual survey of North Wilkesboro ■tores indicates that our merchants have done a splendid job in stocking: merchan dise for the holiday season. With so many shortages existing, it is remarkable that they have done so well in the many departments of the merchan dise business. It is our opinion that North Wilkesboro stores are better prepared with merchan dise for the holiday season than those of many of the larger cities in the state. Merchants in the reconversion period are plagued with many difficulties. One of the greatest of these comes from the fact that manufacturers in many lines have not had time to get merchandise to the distributors, and the general public does not understand all the factors in volved. It takes time to change back from a war plant to civilian production, and it takes time to get the finished products to the shelves of retail stores. But with all the difficulties, local mer chants are continuing to render the public excellent service. Stocks are as nearly complete as possible, and if the exact ar ticle desired is not available, there is usu ally a practical substitute. Our merchants are to be commended for the'success-they have attained in se curing large and varied stocks of mer chandise in this era of shortages, and it is certain that a record volume of holiday trade will reward their efforts. 0 -THE-^ EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. When a man, woman, boy or girl com mences to lose interest in the xhurch of which he is a member, becomes care less in attendance, look out! I am just working through an accumulated pile of Everyday Counselor mail. Here is case after case of husbands, wives, children creating home problems. As I read the backgrounds, almost invariably the first step in the downw’ard path has been neg lect of church attendance and duties. It is surprising how quickly one can fall into a deep spirtual slump. Elders, dea cons, vestrymen, Sunday school teachers, church officers, choir members can quick- jy fall out of the church and into habits "which will bring to them and their fami lies much grief. The people who crowd our jails on week-ends are not regular church attend ants; you can be sure of that. And these jails are becoming increasingly crowded, I have reason to know. Here is a letter, signed, “A Miserable Wife.” Usually these unsigned letters go into the waste basket, but this one I can print. One of similar nature, signed, w’ould be treated in confidence. “My husband and I have been Chris tians for a long time. We were both re ceived in the church and have been active in its work. We have no children. My hus band still goes'to churcli some, but he has lost interest in his church work. At the same time he has commenced running around with other women. I have plead with him to stop and can’t understand why he is doing this.” This letter is mul tiplied many times in those which come into this office. When a man 'or woman leaves a home which has been happy to seek something else outside, it indicates there is either a lack in the home or in the person. The same is true in the church. They are seek ing to satisfy some inward longing or hun ger. In the case of the home usually both husband and wife have grown careless in seeking to meet the desires of the other. In the case of the church, they have be come occupied with secular things which causes them to lose the taste for spiritual things. Jesus Christ spoke of the “strait gate” and the “narrow way” which leads up ward to the full Christian life, comparing it with the “broad way” traveled by the majority which leads to destruction. Throughout my almost 25 years of pas toral experience, counseling, answering problem letters, I have discovered that when a man or woman loses interest in the church he is setting his feet on the first step of the stairway which leads down to the highway to destruction. Some descend rapidly, others slowly. Mark this down: When you turn your back to God you are facing the devil and the highway to hell. — MORE ABOUT — COBLE (STARTS ON PAGE ONE) >f what 1b now Coble's Dairy. On that day of November. 1934, he bought the old forlorn md twic®-bankrupt Piedmont lalry, in Lexington, which had 'ormerly been the Davidson (ounty creamery. First Ventnre. He paid down that $75 and >romised another $75 each nonth until the $6,000 price was »ld. One farmer, W. G. Mize, (nought him 11 gallons of milk he first day and his business letted $2.78. Mize Btlll produces or him. Right then, he had not envls- oned the big industry which he iwns now. Hs main thought was » keep things moving and to nake the business pay. He had Ittie encouragement from others. [Tie state had been importing [Teat quantities of milk and he ntend^ to bring that business o the sUte. He persuaded farmers to sup- »ly him with whole mil^- and ttch year tried to add more to he plant network. Now the Lex- nfton plant alone has 1,500 pro- lueen aad the Mtire Ann has Bore Uuui 7,200 tamera pro- hieinc. Hmm farmers are paid twice monthly and Snd they like that better than seasonal checks for cotton or tobacco ... al though their milk production does not hamper either, but com plements them on the farms, Co~ ble pointed out. Follow Pattern. He soon began building. He followed the same pattern. He bought a bankrupt and closed receiving station in Wilkesboro, now has a $300,000 plant there which has provided the armed force with powdered milk and eggs until recently. He bought another bankrupt receiving plant in Lansing, then picked up an old cheese factory in. Sugar Grove, both about defunct. The three mentioned now handle about 22,000 gallons a day, combined. His next step was at Walnut Cove, where he backed the skep tics among the tobacco men and built a plant that now handles 5,000 gallons dally. Priorities bothered him on equipment, etc., so he bought a bankrupt laundry at Appomat tox, Va., moved it to Lexington, and began doing his employees laundry free. Seeks Self-Sufficiency. Hfe strove to gain self-suffic iency. His next strike was again into tobacco country, setting up another receiving plant that now handles 6,500 gallons daily. A current project is under way in South Boston, Va., where he is building a $350,000 plant for condensed and powdered milk production. He leased his old stamping grounds, Sunnyhlll Dairy at Guilford from his brother, Wa'- ter, and gets 1,500 gallons dally from there. He and Walter and his other two brothers, Charles and Wil liam, bought out the Woman’s College dairy near here several weeks ago, named it Samco Dairy after their father, Samuel B. Co ble, and now plans to put in one of the finest in the south, and to supply his Lexington plant from it also. L. L. Ray, former county agent for Duke Power, put him onto the deal that brought him into contact with the Ramseur Lions Club and. later in setting up a receiving plant there that now handles 4,000 gallons daily. Furnishes damps. Shortly after the Ramseur plant got under way, the govern- ment asked Coble’s to Supply Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune with milk. Coble’s answer was to double the capacity of the plant there within three weeks, taking care of the order for fresh milk for both of those basee. Next, Coble’s growing inffus- TTiere comes a time ones A year when we must write our annual letter to S|t. Nicholas, the grand ole man wlUi a long beard and the pack on his back, the selfsame guy who ride# the alr- lanes in a reindeer sled aad inl- racnlously comes down the sooty chimney without a trace of soot^ stain, even on his flowing beard. We wouldn’t want to burden the grand ole man too much, but there are so many things needed around here that the list would be long if it were all-in- elusive. This communRy needs so much that Santa will perhaps have to put on an extra sled if he fills the bill. Maybe, if we just implored Santa Claus to delve into the realm of the immaterial he could bring to all of us a greater and deeper desire to improve our town, our community and our county. If you can do this, Mr. Santa Claus, you will have solved our needs, because if we really want the things which will im prove our community, we can find the means and ways to pro vide them. Among other things, we need a Y. M. C. A., an athletic field, a stadium, a playground. Practical ly every high school in the coun try needs an athletic field. The county needs a million dollars worth of school buildings. North Wilkesboro needs a school build ing. We want a good highway up the river to the Caldwell line. We need flood control on the Yadkin. We need a highway to 'Traphill and a highway on the Brushies. We need a freezer locker plant. We need more park ing space In North Wilkesboro. We need more tires, more sugar and the end of rationing of both. We want more and better chew ing gum and ditto for candy. We need holiday lighting for our streets. We need far less noise on the streets at night. Some of these things we can get or to tbr our selves, but on some we’ll need plenty of help, so please don’t forget us this Christmas time. put in ,4 Bioflem —_. flt, to sirfr ths Ice ttwwf try. ••‘i';. f A similar situation .eocArroA at Franklin, and Goble’s bought up the receiving plant there. V. Bspaads nans. With the expansion to other spots in the state came new ex pansion at Lexington as well. There the size of the bulding, In- clnding the laundry, now n^s about 450( feet down the front of an entire city block which' was bought up by the dairy. The dairy hnllding is being doubled in size and Coble declares he in tends to make 100 million ice cream pies next year, to produce between five and six million gal lons of ice cream as well. While the Lexington plant is expaadiag, he this week oom- pleted a deal to purchase three milk routes from the Cedar Lodge dairy in ThomasrlUe from former Congressman Walter Lainbeth. The latter is to famish whole milk to Coble’s. Delivery began last Wednesday morning from Coble tracks. Except for the producing farm ers and the ultimate consumers of the milk products, the “coun try boy” has made his industry almost self-suflcient. His own garage repairs his trucks, his own workshop does needed Jobs, his own men build his buildings and his own ice plant produces 140 200-pound blocks of ice daily: Raises Feed. About two years ago Coble’s bought up eight adjoining farms on the old Salisbury road and become owner of more than 1,- 000 acres of land. The land has been almost cleared of woods, the wood sold for pulp and lumber an the residue is now being sold for firewood. The cleared fields have been sowed in grain and acres of wheat and .alfalfa and other forage crops make the roll ing land a bright green. Bull dozers will soon be clearing stumps away as well. In addition, the dairy built a large modern bam on the farm. It has a capacity of 150 cows. A new and even more modern one is nearing completion now near by, to house 120 cows . . Guern seys and Holsteins. He has 147 heifers raised on his farm at present. This week he expressen his satisfaction that his theory of helping the farmer would be beneficial to everyone was a proven one. He has pushed dai rying education, provided equip ment, fee, small dairy sheds and even bulls for use by the pro ducing farmers at his cost. Soon he hopes to have 409 purebred bulls spread around the coun- tryeide, improving the farmers' stock. ftX- ducpl'fl^fli^’galloiBa «t-4(Uk and a daj wlt& 7,200 ak^IylSf ^ the whole Tbe2i||lt of employee now stands at - ' Coble ^8 a'bnqr man, bnt be manages to do a bit of promoting along blgb-powered lines.
