Glaz ener, county agent. His topic was the goals of food production for 1944 in Transylvan ia coun.y. He stressed the impor tance of our home food require ments as well as the production of food for our armies. Everyone, he said, should begin planning now in what way they could help. Mr. Glazener explained a chart showing the food production goals of 1943 and 1944 and the goal for this year is considerably higher for quite a few farm products, such as milk, corn and others. He announced that cards for the stu dents who are planning some way to help will be distributed soon. Mr. J. B. Jones made a short talk on the Fourth War Loan drive and announced the coming rally to be held at Rosman. Afterwards, Mr. Tilson presented Lucy Tinsley with an award for winning the 4-H dress revue con test of Western North Carolina in Asheville, which was held last fall.

How’s the folks, huh? Well, after a full month’s rest we’re all set to give you our gossip report to the na tion. But, first let’s* have a little (??) chat with some of the teachers and see what they have to say for them ' selves. Nope, Miss Dillard says she didn’t have any luck with her “wolf chase” during the vacation. But, just between you and me, she has a very smug look on her face. Maybe her trip to South Car olina wasn’t “all in vain,” after all. Huh-o! Miss Wiggins was more careful with her diary so we’ll just have to read her mind. Now— let . . . me . . . see . . . yep, it’s getting clearer now . . . that sailor pin and locket. Miss Wiggins, you should learn to t-r-a-i-n your jew elry better ’n’ that! Miss Nesbit is the only one left —that I dare tackle. After all, I do want these skinned places on my head to get well before I try to take any more . . . pardon me, j but did you say something about a “Hay” ride, Miss Nesbit? Sounds corny, doesn’t it? A hay ride in the snow, b-u-t it might be fun. Maybe I’ll try it sometime. Hey! Has everyone heard the story of “The Big Bad Wolf? (only in this case it’s plural). I’m not speaking of that one that blew the little’s pig’s house in, but those that blow through the halls every day knocking everyone off their feet and grabbing books, coats, pencils, and, yes, even kodaks. Bob and Rut insist on calling that shy (?) lanky (period) lassie from Toxaway a “sucker.” Ha! This is a good’n. What they don’t know as that the navy’s lurking around the corner (as usual) rea dy to raise its flag. The red, white j and blues are winning again eh, . Jean. Sip!!! I made it. This last bit) of gossip had just begun when I arrived on the scene. It seems that Mildred Green is still carrying the “torch” for “Shorty M.” So long, and let’s all help Uncle Sam in this Fourth War Loan drive. THE HISTORY OF THE AA ON MOJAVE DESERT In the California desert, Mojave is the spot; Battling a terrific heat wave in the land that God forgot. Just sitting here and thinking, of what we left behind; I’d hate to put on paper, just what I have in mind. We wash our mess kits daily, and peel a million spuds, We pay out many dollars, to wash our dirty duds. We stay out in the sand hills dig- { ging fox holes with a pick; Then when we are through in the evenings, we are too darned tired to kick. Down with the snakes and lizards, down where a man gets blue; i Down at the very bottom, three j thousand miles from you. I Down where the heat keeps com-1 ing, it’s more than a man can stand, No, we’re not convicts or crimi nals, we’re defenders of the land. We’re soldiers of the AA forces earning a meager pay; Protecting men with millions, for a buck and a half a day. Living for tomorrow, heartsick for our gals, Just hoping that when we return they’re not married to our 4-F pals. I No, I’m not grumbling or stewing, no T S tickets for me; I’m only beginning to wonder, if God did make a tree. When obstacles confront us, is very hard to tell, Let’s hope it’s nice in heaven, for we served our hitch in hell. Cpl. John D. Smith Hqs 143rd AAA Gun Bn Camp Haan, Calif. This is what we’ve been working for all along. This is the year to hit and hurt the enemy. This is the time when everything you do counts double. If we all get together and do all we can, we’ll be over this hurdle and well on our v/ay to complete and crushing victory. ixo question aoout trie men in uniform—they’ll go “all out.” But can we count on you to back them all the way? Your quota is where you work —you’ve got to buy your War Bonds and then buy more, until every last loose cent you have is fighting. Tough? Of course, it’s tough—unless it is a sacrifice you’re simply not doing your share! Make the sacrifice now—buy more than the extra $100 Bond your country counts on you for-—winning the war is worth any sacrifice you make. Besides, WE BOUGHT EXTRA WAR BONDS J!th WAR LOAN you aren t giving, you re lending to America! You’ll get back every dollar you invest in War Bonds, with interest. An extra $100 War Bond now is the minimum for everybody—can’t we count on you for more? This sticker in your window means you have bought 4th War Loan securities. BACK THE ATTACK! SILVERSTEEN INDUSTRIES . JOS. S. SILVERSTEEN, President o Jesus Uses His Power to Help • HIGHLIGHTS ON THU SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON | By NEWMAN CAMPBELL ^ (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for (Jan. 30 is Mark 4:35-5:43, the Golden Text being Mark 4:40, rWhy are ye fearful? have ye not jyet faith?”) I®JESUS HAD been teaching the jmultitudes on the shore of the Sea [of Galilee, outside of Capernaum. [After the people had gone, He and His disciples got into boats and Started across the sea. “And there arose a great storm *>f wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.” Jesus was tired, and had lain Him [down in the back of the ship and iwas fast asleep on a pillow. His disciples were terrified, thinking they would all be drowned, so they awoke Him, say ing, “Master, carest Thou not that we perish”? The “Lord arose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Jesus then said to His disciples, •Why are ye so fearful ? how is it that ye have no faith?” But they were frightened and said to one another, “What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him ?” Man Possessed by Demons When they landed on the other side of the sea, “into the coun try of the Gadarenes,” they saw a man who was possessed of an unclean spirit—in fact, a num ber of spirits. He was completely Insane, and so strong that no one could restrain him. He had often been bound with strong fetters, but he broke them all, even chains, and wandered among the moun tains and tombs, crying and cut ting himself with stones. This pitiable creature no sooner saw Jesus than he ran to Him and worshiped Him, although at the same time he cried—or the de mons within him did—“What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High? I adjure Thee, by God, that thou torment me not.” Jesus ordered the evil spirits to come out of him and asked the man his name. “My name is Le gion,” he answered, “for we are many.” The Roman Legion was the Roman instrument of oppres sion in Palestine. The spirits en treated Jesus to send them into the bodies of a great herd of swine that was feeding near by. Jesus gave permission, as the soul of this man was surely of more value than the swine: and the spirits entering into their bodies, the swine ran down a slope head* long into the sea and were drowned. The owners or caretakers of the swine were frightened, and more* over they were angry about the loss of the pigs, and they asked Jesus to go away. Jesus and the disciples prepared to recross the sea in their boat, but the man who was healed came to Him and pleaded to be taken with them. Jesus, however, told him to go home and tell his Mends of the miracle. Ruler Asks Help When they landed on the other side of Galilee, one of the rulers of the synagogue came quickly to Him and fell at His feet His name was Jairus, and he said. “My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray Thee, come and lay Thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.” • Not all the leaders of the syna gogue were Jesus’ enemies. y6u see. This man believed and had faith. As Jesus followed the niler, a woman who had been 111 many years and steadily grew worse, came near to Him and timidly touched His garment, saying to herself, “If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole.” At once she felt her illness^ leave her Jesus felt "virtue” go out of Him, and He turned and asked’ who had touched The disci ples, seeing the crowd around, could not answer, but the woman came, trembling, and fell at His feet, telling Him all. “And He said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” Just then some came from the ruler’s house and said the little girl was dead, but Jesus said to the father, “Be not afraid, only believe.” When He came to the house he said to those within, in cluding professional mourners, “Why make ye this ado? the dam sel is not dead, but sleepeth.” They laughed at Him, but, tak ing only the father, mother and three disciples, He went into the room and, taking the child by the hand, He said, “Damsel, 1 say unto thee, arise.” And straightway the child walked, for she was 12 years old, and Jesus told them not to tell anyone, but to get her something to eat. Truly, in this lesson, Jesus uses His power to help. Buy Hybrid Seed Corn On Records Farmers should be very careful in their purchases of hybrid seed corn and buy only on performance records made under North Caro lina conditions, said research men of the State College Experiment j Station and directors of the N. C. [ Crop improvement Association at a recent meeting at Raleigh. They pointed out that some hy brids which did well in the Moun tain and Piedmont sections were wholly unsuited for production in the Coastal Plain areas. On the other hand, a certain hybrid gave good yields in the Coastal Plain and was relatively resistant to weevil damage and lodging, or wind damage, but was not suited to production in other areas. Experiment Station tests showed that the yields of some hybrids were no better, or even less, than the yields of some of the standard varieties of corn already being grown. Hybrid corns do not carry names such as “Jarvis” but are specified by numbers such as U. S. 282 or or N. C. 1032. A “W” following the number means that it is a white corn and a “Y” shows that it is a yellow corn.
