Emergency Food
Program Outlined
For This County
Agricultural Council Ask
ing People to Make Vol
untary Sacrifice
The emergency food program
goal outlined by President Tru
man—revised by the State and
county AAA officials to meet lo
cal needs—was considered Mon
day at a meeting of Wilkes AAA
Committee and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture Council. R.
E. Dunn, Chairman of the Wilkes
County USDA Council presided at
this meeting.
The joint group discussed ways
of bringing the food program to
all Wilkes County residences,
and appointed members to con
tact city schools, county schools,
the Chamber of Commerce, home
demonstration clubs, ministerial
groups, civic clubs of the city and
county, veterans’ orgajilzations.
farm organizations, the Grange,
and also public eating establish
ments.
Pointing out wastage of food
deprives millions of European
and Asiatic war refugees of sus
tenance they need desjperately,
the committee is asking residents
of this area to make a voluntary
sacrifice of 40 per cent of their
consumption of wheat ■'products
and 20 per cent of food fats and
oils in tho next four months. To
put this savings program into
full sway, the county group
recommends such expedients a.?
using less bread at meals, use of
potatoe.s as bread siib.stitutes,
more use of oat cereals, using
fruit.s and other desserts in
stead of pastrlc.s and cakes,
eliminate trimming toast and
sandwich crusts, inducing cus
tomers to order only what’s
needed, use of boiled dressings
on salads, encouraging re-use of
food fats and grease salvage, de
veloping of methods to save and
use bread loaf ends, boil or broil,
rather than fry, fish, and many
other home expedients designed
to increase savings of wheat and
fats products.

You Again.” Miss Wells was ac
companied at the piano by Miss
Elizabeth Alexander.
Mr. Stroud then presented Mr.
T. C. McKnight, of Elkin, who
brought a very thoughtful talk
on the subject “Prevention of
Accidents.” He said: Up to 1935
in all the wars the Americans
have engaged In from the Revo
lution we have had killed 244,-
357. From 1920 to 1935 In Amer
ica, autos have killed 388,936.
Statistics further reveal; Auto
mobiles in good condition 89.14
per cent. Drivers of experience,
69.50 per cent. Between 25 and
54 years age, 40 per cent, pas
senger cars, 83.71 per cent. Men
drivers, 95.2 per cent. Weather
dry and fair, 7 3.7 per cent. Good
straight roads, 74.41 per cent.

ed areas, 72.4 per cent. Most ac
cidents are on Sunday and Sat
urday Is second. December is the
worst month and August is the
best.
The speaker spoke of another
hazard that confronts us more
and more each year—the condi
tion brought about by non-church
going people. He says over one
half of the children of the south
have little or no religious train
ing. He says the 77 out of every
100 are not in Sunday school.
He says the 95 per cent of the
criminals come from tho.so people
who do not attend church.
Over 200,000 youths are in
court each year in this country.
He has no fear of our nation
falling before an outside enemy,
hut has fear of our going down
because of inner wrong doing.

house. James M. Anderson with
W. J. Caroon, John Ford with
Joa Barber, Miss Mary Charles
Alexander with Robert S. Gibbs,

Of the Discussion
At Board Mooting
Delegation Ask Sanitarian,
Revision and Enforcement
Of Ordinances

in meeting this week devoted
much attention to sanitation
measures for the city.
Delegations were present from
the North Wilkesboro Woman’s

the employment of a sanitarian,
at least on a part time basis.
They also asked a thorough re
vision of the sanitation laws of
the city with respect to garbage
disposal, and asked more strin
gent enforcement of sanitation
laws. One principal revision ask
ed for the city ordinances is that
each resident be required to have
a garbage can with a lid which
would make it possible that all
garbage be concealed. They also
asked frequent and regular col
lection of garbage.
No action was taken by the
council on the proposals asked
by the delegations, but further
consideration was assured. The
delegations were supported in
their proposals by J. B. Williams,
president of the Wilkes Chamber
of Commerce, and by a resolu
tion presented from the staff of
the Wilkes hospital asking the
employment of a sanitarian for
the city.
Present for the board meeting

members of the board, composed
of J. R. Hix, R. G. Finley, A. F.
