SELLING SCHEME FAILED
Local Lions are whispering il
on the streets that Lion Presideni
Ed McMahan at the last ciub meet

was shown in the revelation. An
. other equity holder has since re
vealed to this reporter that there
is a thriving patch of liquor bushes
, on the place, which “Boozy” Thom
, ason, much to the chagrin of some
of the others, had pre-empted.
. From all of which it would appear
. that the versatility of Transylvan
ia soil is more prodigal than Julian
Glazener ever dreamed, much less
claimed.
FIXED FOR FIVE YEARS
Newsprint may be rationed, but
it won’t deprive Harold V. Smed
berg of his Transylvania Times
unless the OPA makes us reneg
on him. Mr. Smedberg came in
Saturday to buy a typewriter rib
bon and fell to gabbing with a
staff member. Recalling that his
paper would be out in a few weeks,
he concluded to pay up for five
years. While the dates were being
entered on the subscription re
ceipt, Mr. Smedberg, an enlighten
ed and thoughful man, remarked
that during that interval the world
in which we live will be made
over. About that we know little
for certain, but in the light of
what we do know his speculation
is a safe one.
WIRE GRASS NEMESIS
Moss Melton, general manager of
the Pisgah Mills, pointed to rows
of vegetables beside the mill of
fice, flourishng despite the attempt
of wire grass to strangle them.
And more land adjoining being
turned under by an energetic mill
employee preparatory to seeding.!
A QUESTION
The teacher was giving the class
a lecture on gravity.
“Now, children,” she said, “ it
is the law of gravity that keeps
us on this earth."
“But please, teacher.” inquired
one small child, “how did we stick
on before the law was passed?”
HE BOUGHT!
Uncle Joe Silversteen was dic
tating furiously when a Times ad
peddler stuck his head in his of
fice door and vras motioned to a
seat behind his desk.
He paused to ask the latter’s
mission, thought, a little, smiled
and then exploded:

He was assured that his caller
was in no sense a salesman, but
a mere order taker whose “wares”
were so meritorious that his pros
pects, being sweet people with
discerning minds bought freely
and willingly of their own voli
tion.
Whereupon Uncle Joe chuckled
—and bought—just what he was
expected to buy.
AN ORDER
The officer of the day stopped
a mess orderly carrying a soup
kettle out of the kitchen.
“Here you!” he snapped, “Give
nle a taste of that”
Obediently, the orderly handed
him a ladle and the officer tasted.
“Good Lord! Do you call that
soup?” he roared.
“No, sir,” replied the orderly
meekly, “That’s dishwater.”
A CHAPLAIN’S VIEW
Often it is said that we are
fighting this war to preserve the
American way of life. An army
chaplain disputes this and says,
“Wars are fought now to save the
well-being and happiness of the
whole human family.” We quote:
“There is a human side, even to
war. Let us not forget that. While
the destruction of the enemy is an
immediate aim, yet back of that
is an ideal, a hope, a plan. A plan
and a hope that once the enemy
is out of the way, then life may
proceed happiiy and harmoniously.
A life that will include all human
beings. A life not for Americans,
Englishmen, Russians and Chinese
alone; but a life for the Japanese,
the Germans and the Italians as
well. It is this life of human com
patability between all races, creeds
and colors for which we are fight
ing. This is a life and death fight
between the forces of human bro
therhood and the forces of hate,
tyranny and greed.”
Inasmuch a s soldiers whose
cause is just, fight to make pos
sible a better life for those who
come after them, this army chap
lain compares their deeds to that
of the old man described in the
following poem:
“An old man traveling on a lone
highway
Came at the evening cold and
gray
To a chasm vast, deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twi
light dim
For the sullen stream had no fear
to him;
But he turned when safe on the
other side
And built a bridge to span the
tide.
“Old man,” said a fellow traveler
near,
“You’re wasting your time in
building here.
You’ve crossed the chasm deep
and wide,
Why build you this bridge at
eventide?”
The builder lifted his old, gray
head,
“Good friend, there follows after
me today,” he said,
“A fair-haired youth whose feet
must pass this way.
He, too, must cross in the twilight
dim.
Good friend, I’m building this
bridge for him.”

POINT VALUE OF
CHOKE CUTS OF
BEEF INCREASED
Lamb; Veal And Other
Meats, Are Lowered, How
ever. New Schedule
(Special To The Times)
RALEIGH, June 9 — Preferred
cuts of beef—such as steaks and
roasts—will now cost the house
wife substantially more red stamps,
although fewer points will be re
quired for numerous items of lamb,
veal and variety meats, it is learn
ed from studying the third official
table of consumer point values for
meat, fats, fish and cheese.
The new table became effective,
Sunday June 6. The increases in
the point values for beef, ranging
from one to three points per pound
reflect continued large consumer
demand for these items in the
face of lower production, the Of
fice of Price Administration points
out.
Consumers who purchase more
of the lamb, pork, and veal, and
variety meats, some of which have
been reduced in point value, will
be able to maintain their weekly
meat consumption at present lev
els. However, those who continue
to use most of their red stamps
for beef will find that they are
eating less meat, the OPA points
out.
The point value on this table
is effective from June 6 through
July 3 and, barring unforseen
emergencies, no additional changes
will be made during this period.
gardless of the number employ
ed, must conform to the plan in
their hiring practices. The sole
exceptions are the state govern
ment and subdivisions thereof,
employers of domestic servants,
and employers of casual labor (15
days or less.)

ARE YOU DOING YOUR PART
BY BUYING WAR BONDS AND
STAMPS EVERY PAY DAY?
Those Agreeing To Raise
Food And Feed For Free
dom Will Get Awards
Official Certificate of War Ser
vice soon will begin moving to
North Carolina farm families who
have enlisted in the 1943 wartime
food production program, accord
ing to H. A. Patten, State AAA
Executive Assistant.
The certificates are being
awarded in recognition of the part
farm families are playing in the
nation’s war effort. More than
200,000 certificates already have
been sent to County USDA War
Boards for distribution to indi
vidual families, and more will be
distributed as soon as they are
received. Patten estimated ap
proximately 237,000 North Caro
lina farm families are eligible to
receive the certificates.
Printed in red, white and blue,
the 11 by 14 inch certificates carry
out a patriotic theme through use
of a red border and a large blue
“V” on the face of each. They
are signed by Secretary of Agri
culture Claude R. Wickard and
the chairman of the Local County
USDA War Board. Each certifi
cate bears the seal of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and
the official Food for Freedom em
blem, both printed in red, white
and blue.
“These certificates are being
presented to farm families in ap
preciation of the work they are do
ing to add to the growing strength
of the United Nations,” Patten
said. “This nation and our allies
today are looking to America’s
farm families for the majority of
the food which is needed to win
the war.”
Basis for awarding the certifi
cates will be 1943 Farm plans for
Maximum War Production signed
by individual farmers in a state
wide sign-up campaign conducted
by county and community commit
teemen of the Agricultural Ad
justment agency.
About 3 billion points on the
red ration stamps, and approxi
mately 6 billion points on the blue
stamps are put into circulation
monthly by consumers of ration
foods.

Welcome in peace. • •

WrAR plant managers will
tell you that anything
that contributes to contented
workers makes better
workers. In plant after
plant it has been found
that a rest-pause breaks
monotony, lessens tired
ness and tension.
When you add refreshment to a rest
pause, you not only have a pause
that rests, but refreshes, too. A
moment for ice-cold Coca-Cola
makes a rest-pause take on more
meaning ... promoting content
ment that leads to more work
and better work. Yes, content
ment comes when you connect
with a Coke.
Close work brings the need to pause.
Ice-cold Coca-Cola brings tingling re
freshment to make any pause the
pause that refreshes.
