Those sidewalk brick that have
been palmed off on the town
would hardly be received by an
honest inspector. If they are to
be used in sidewalks they should
be thoroughly sorted, as many of
them will not stand frost, not to
mention a freeze. If the town ex
pects property owners to pay half
or more of the cost on paving the
walks, it should put into them
only good material.

Soil Fertility A j
Pasture Problem j
Soil fertility is the major prob
len in permanent pasture develop
ment in North Carolina, says Dr.
R. L. Lovvorn, associate agrono
mist of the N. C. Experiment Sta
tion at State College.
Much of the pasturage necessary \
for increased livestock production
must come from lands that are
now very low in fertility, accord
ing to the agronomist. Such lands I
have been severely depleted
through cropping and erosion and
leaching has taken its toll of cer
tain elements. These must be sup-1
plied through the use of lime and
fertilizers, if good permanent pas
tures are to be established.
Tests show that at least one
legume should be grown with the
grasses if maximum growth is to
be realized, says Lovvorn. The use
of a legume in the sod has doubled
the yield of Dallas grass during
the month of April, when pastur-1
age is badly needed.
The grazing season was length
ened and the total yield of feed
was increased. A well balanced
program of grass-legume produc
tion. however, depends upon the
fertility of the soil and the use
of lime, manure, commercial fer
tilizers, and soil improving crops
are recommended by the agrono
mist.

An Interesting Picture Of Wild
Flowers In This Section Shown
At Kiwanis Club By Chas. Moore
RAMSEY WARNS
PEOPLE AGAINST
“SLOWING or
Local Lawyer, Urging Bond
Buying, Recalls Dangers
Of Recent Years
Although the war situation to
day “looks good,” Ralph Ramsey,
local attorney, speaking to the
local Lions club last Thursday
evening warned against a spirit of
complacency in urging the pur
chase of war bonds.
Japan, Mr. Ramsey said, is
“hearing the thunder of her ap
proaching doom.” The Russian
armies are hurling back the Ger
man invader over a front of hun
dreds of miles. Italy has been
reduced and Mussolini has been
ousted. Enemy cities are being
blasted and the sulking submarine
has been defeated. Citizens of
European states held in subjection
are rising in revolt against the
oppressor.
“It looks like victory is ours
and some people say we should
slow up,” Mr. Ramsey said. How
ever he invited his hearers to go
back a year. Rommel was within
sight of Egypt; the Nazis had
reached the coast of the Black Sea
and were driving on Stalingrad.
A year before, Hitler had broken
his treaty with Russia and invaded
their country. Few thought the
Soviets could resist the Nazi on
slaught. The preceding summer,
the Nazis had quickly overwhelm
ed Netherlands, Belgium and
France and England was in a
desperate plight. There were anx
ious fears that England would fall
and that Hitler would gather a
mighty fleet and attack the U. S.
Meanwhile, Japan had overrun
much of the orient. Mr. Ramsey
said he believed the American
people would buy bonds generous
ly to avert the dangers that men
aced them during those black
years of Axis triumphs.
Mr. Ramsey was introduced by
Ed H. McMahan, county chairman,
who predicted the county would
subscribe its quota of $432,000.
Mr. McMahan was commended by
Rev. W. A. Jenkins Made
Talk On Third War
Loan Drive Plans
One of the most informative
programs ever to be given before
Brevard Kiwanians was the show
ing of color pictures of native wild
flowers by Charles Moore at the
meeting held Friday night at the
Bryant house.
Mr. Moore has several hundred
pictures of native wild flowers
and shrubs which are found in
this section, and some of which
are to be found in no other sec
tion of the world.
Pictures shown by Mr. Moore
through a projector, were all
taken in natural color and the
flowers and shrubs were photo
graphed in their natural setting,
some inside the city limits of
Brevard, others alongside the
highway between here and Pisgah
Forest, and many of them in Pis
gah Game Preserve, ranging from
Bent Creek to Tennessee Bald.
Along with showing of the pic
tures, Mr. Moore briefly told some
thing of the flowers, their ancestry,
and peculiarities pertinent to
each bloom.
The Rev. W. A. Jenkins spoke
on the Third War Loan drive,
and said that he was positive there
would be no lagging in Transyl
vania county; that this county had
gone over the top with all previous
requests from the government
since the war started, and in his
opinion the record would not be
broken—provided—he said, that
each person did what was expect
ed of him. plus a little for some
few who always act the laggard
in any worthwhile movement.
Rev. B. W. Thomason was guest
of Brown Carr, and Dr. J. D. Hurt
of Winter Haven, Fla., was a visit
ing Kiwanian.
During the business session,
the club voted to contribute $15.00
toward expense incurred in the
Third War Loan drive.
Mr. Ramsey for his able direction
of the second War Loan drive,
when the county more than tripled
its quota.
Ira B. Armfield was elected lion
tamer, succeeding Lloyd Hughes,
who will leave for the army to
morrow.

All of us, both men and women, whether
at home or on one of the battle fronts, has
a part to perform in the winning of the war.
The war effort can be accelerated on the
home front in many ways, some of them
seemingly trivial. For example, the prompt
return of milk bottles will help because it
saves transportation, labor and materials.
Make it a practice to return bottles to your
retailer promptly or set them where our
driver may pick them up.

School will be a little different this year—
a little more intense, a little more serious
because we are at war.
Harder work and harder play mean
added fatigue—especially for young eyes.
Let’s protect cur precious vision by see
ing that every child gets good lighting
habits.
Lighting Hygiene requires clean
lamp bulbs and diffusion shades, clean
ceilings, and proper exposure of work
material to the light source.
Simple measures—but very important for the whole family!
