TO PROVIDE MORE SOAP
An increase of about 9 percent
in the nation’s soap supply, with
out using additional fats and oil,
is expected under adjusted soap
formulas recently prescribed by
the War Food Administration.
The formulas call for a larger use
of domestic non-fat materials,
principally rosin, as a substitute
for fats.

URGES FARMERS TO COLLECT
SCRAP
In support of the all-out “Vic
tory Scrap Bank” drive to collect
iron and steel scrap, Marvin Jones,
War Food Administrator, has urg
ed farmers to comb their farms for
all possible scrap. Pointing out
that next to industry, the greatest
source of heavy scrap is the
American farm, Mr. Jones said.
“American farmers are doing the

George Shuford Buys
Registered Cattle
By J. A. GLAZENER
George Shuford, a unit demon
stration farmer in the Little River
community, bought at the Clyde
Purebred Hereford sale last Satur
day, 10 registered heifers and one
fine registered bull.
From this purebred foundation,
which according to the registration
papers include some of the very
best blood lines known to Here
ford breeders, Mr. Shuford plans to
build an outstanding Hereford
herd here in the county.
As a demonstration farmer, Mr. j
Shuford is doing a splendid piece
of work in soil building and soil
conservation. Crop yields have
been increased many bushels per
acre, tons of hay are being pro
duced and many acres have been
seeded to permanent pasture. Sev
eral cars of lime have been used
on the farm along with many tons
of phosphate, all of which are now
beginning to show real results and
will enable Mr. Shuford to pro
duce sufficient feeds to support
the fine herd of Hereford cattle
he plans to develop.
greatest food production job in his
tory. However, if we are to insure
ample steel for wartime produc
tion, millions of tons of scrap iron
and steel must come from . our
farms in the next six weeks.”
TIRE HELP FOR TRUCK
OWNERS
Truck owners who have tire ra
tioning certificates but are unable
to get tires because local quotas
are used up and these operators
unable to get ration certificates
because of depletion of quotas
soon may get help through the
Office of Defense Transportation.
Instructions on procedure for re
j porting such cases soon will be is
sued to the 142 ODT district man
agers. After cases are reported
ODT will clear shortages with the
Office of the Rubber Director in
an effort to get the necessary tires.
REPORT ON THIRD WAR LOAN
Final figures for the Third War
Loan showed $18,943,000,000 worth

the Treasury Daniel W. Bell re

56 PRISONER OF WAR CAMPS
More than 140,000 prisoners of
war are now held in 56 permanent
camps in the U. S., the War De
partment has reported. The ratio
of Germans to Italians is approxi
mately three to one. In addition
to the permanent camps, there are
many temporary ones set up to
house prisoners in areas with la
bor shortages. Agricultural work
done by prisoners includes har
vesting fruit, tomatoes, potatoes,
peanuts, cotton, sugar beets, and
corn. Only a few prisoners have
escaped and every one of them has
been recaptured in a few hours.
EXTRA SHOE ALLOTMENT
If anyone in the family needs
shoes and the family quota of shoe
stamps has been spent OPA has
authorized a special application for
a shoe stamp to be made with lo
cal rationing boards. Forms may
be obtained by mail or in person.
In most cases, boards are able to
act promptly in issuing special
shoe stamps after the application
has been filled out, the questions
answered, and returned to the
board. However, OPA has stress
ed that real need must be shown
for the extra shoe ration.

Faculty Elects
Mary A. Daniels
“Good Citizen”
The D. A. R. Good Citizenship
Committee sponsors a good citizen
ship campaign each year in every
standard four-year high school in
the state. Its purpose is to improve
and impress the value of good citi
zenship by teaching its value to
school students.
Last week the senior class elect
ed three girls as D. A. R. candi
dates. There were eight nomina
ted; the three receiving the highest
number of votes were: Lucretia
Campbell, Mary Ann Daniels and
Carolyn Sluder, which gave them
the right to be candidates for the
“Good Citizen.” The candidates
were presented to the faculty,
who then selected the girl whom
they thought fulfilled the position
best and who has fulfilled it for
the preceding 3 years. Mary Ann
Daniels became the “Good Citizen”
of Brevard High.
The “Good Citizen” isn’t just
picked out of clear space. She
must be made from year to year.
The “Good Citizen” must possess
the following qualities: First, de
pendability, which includes truth
fulness, loyalty and punctuality;
second, service, which includes co
operation, courtesy and considera
tion of others; third, leadership,
self-control and ability to assume
responsibility; fourth, patriotism,
including unselfish interest in
family, school, community and
nation.
As the “Good Citizen” Mary Ann
will make a scrap book portraying
the qualities mentioned above, the
honors and the activities she has
received and taken part in during
her four years in high school; as
well’ as those of church and com
.*.....
munity; not more than ten letters
of recommendation written by the
people who know her personally,
each telling something specific
about her.
The “Good Citizen” from each
school is to make a scrap book and
send it to the state chairman by
December 1, 1943. Every girl
sending in a scrap book will be
given a certificate of award and
she will be presented at the state
I\ A. R. convention held March
1st and 2nd in Raleigh, where her
scrapbook will be exhibited. The
state winner, the “Good Citizen”
of the state, will be given a $100
United States War bond.

What is dear old B. H. S. com
ing to????? As I wander up and
down the halls of our dear old
alma mater, listening here and
there, I notice very little of the
usual chatter about why Jeanette
and Gene don’t hit it off quite
right. Don’t forget Verena and
Anna, Jeanette! The eternal
quatrangle!!!?
Mary Ann D. is starry eyed

back in town for a few days.
Speaking of starry eyed people,
you just should have seen Mary

only an hour, but an hour in para

Is Jo C. really the “man-hater”

Bill S., doesn’t Vivian like to

And who is the college boy she

carnival?? He cduldn’t be from

Did you all know that on one of
our school busses we have no less
than four budding romances? Well
listen with both ears, for there are
at least that many on one bus. Just
watch Edwin E. each morning when
Dot O. gets on the bus. Betty
Jean R. doesn’t make “eyes” at
Donald B. for nothing!! From the
looks of things, Jack “Moron” M.
has been landed by no less than
Betty R. oh, yes, school buses are
very romantic spots at times!
Why is it that Frances W. is so
well informed on every one else’s
love affairs, but still keeps so
quiet about her own?? Turn about
is fair play!!
Romeo Kappers is following in
his brother’s footsteps just don’t
walk too far, Stanley
Warning to Bobby Simpson—
“Beware of senior girls. The man

Ray C. gave Carolyn K. a couple
of thrilling pushes on the swings
at the carnival Thursday night.
Fun wasn’t it? On top of that he
sat between Carolyn and Mary
Ann R. in the Roll-o-plane. You’re
certainly getting around these
days aren’t you Ray???
Nan A., we hear you are kept

Rubber treads add 20% to the speed of our tanks. It is up to all
of us to save rubber so America’s rubber stock pile will last longer.
Last year our trouble department made hundreds of special calls
because fuses were overloaded. We ask you to be careful, now,
not to use too tnany appliances on one circuit. Use them one, of
even two, at a time ... but please don’t use them all at ontM.
That will save tires. As more tires are saved, the Nation's rabbet
pile will last longer . . . and our boys will have better equipment
to use to win die war.
