DIAL 383-5470 Congressman Taylor Is Interviewed (Continued from Page One) be over here, for I am trying to visit the county as much as possible. I was up at the Brevard Music Center Saturday and at the Du Pont pic nic. Congress is in recess during the month of August so we have been tired up in Wash ington most of the year. Now it is a real privilege for me to get home and mix with the people. In Washington someone said to me, “Congress man, you represent the most beautiful part of America” and I said back, “yes, and I represent some of the finest people in Ameri ca.” It is always good to get back where it is safe to walk on the streets, where the school system is not deteriorating and where people trust their neighbors and are glad to have them. Also, where people meet to plan for community betterment rather than to burn up the town.” Q. “Recently, I noticed in the >cal newspaper that you have sen receiving a lot of mail. re are just wondering what sople are writing about?” A. “Our people are concern ed in regard to ac tions going on in Wash ington. I believe they are more concerned than at any other time since I have been up there. At least my mail is the heaviest. This summer we receiv ed more letters on gun control than on any oth er one subject. I made an announcement back last June that I would vote against Federal Registration of guns and against Federal Regis tration of gun owners. I said I would vote to ex tend the mail order ban on gun sales. Some peo ple write back and they say when I register my wife and I register my children and my dog and car why shouldn’t I reg ister my gun. I reply by saying, “Well, where do you register those? You don’t register them with the Federal Govern ment, you register them in the courthouse. You register them at the lo cal level and I think that a gun should be registered also at the lo cal level”. Now, we re ceived a lot of mail on the subject of violence. I think our people are more concerned on that issue than any oth er. The issue of law and order. I believe it will be the number one issue in the coming elections. 1 think that never before America needs discip line, I think as never be fore we need to teach patriotism. 1 think as never before we need to teach respect for the laws of the land and the flag that flies over this land, and those of you who have been reading things 1 have said realize that for two years I have been strongly advocating en forcing the law. 1 be lieve the right of honest desent does not include the right of a group to violate any law and that when they go out violat ing laws they need to be stopped with force and punished.” Q. What programs are pend ing or being planned that per tain to and mil benefit our area? A. “It was my privilege about a week ago to de liver to the Forest Serv ice, the pen which Pres ident Johnson used in signing the Cradle of Forestry Mil which I in troduced and sponsored through Congress. This bill gives a legislative recognition to the Cra dle of Forestry in the Pink Beds as an impor tant forestry project of conservation and recrea tion.

' SOME OF THE RUSSIAN BOARS on Cal Car penter’s Almar Farm near Rosman are pictured above. The boars are so hardy they survive on al most anything, even bears. (Photo by Clyde Osborne) Russian Boars On Carpenter's Farm Are Born "About One Third Nose" (Editor’s note: The follow ing feature from the Char lotte Observer is about Col. Cal Carpenter’s Russian hogs at ALMAR FARM in Tran sylvania. It is written by Clyde Osborne, a long time friend. We think Transyl vania readers will find it as interesting as we did.) By CYLDE OSBORNE Observer Rural Life Editor BREVARD — A retired U. S. Air Force colonel has some of the noisiest livestock in North Carolina grazing in his pasture near here. Ool. Clarence A. Carpenter has Russian boars, direct de scendants of razodbacks from the Ukraine. “If you ever taste one of their hams, cured right, you’ll never want any more domes tic pork,” said the former flier • meterologist, who is now, besides being a farmer, a reporter and feature writ er for The Transylvania Times. Watching his tame razor backs as they came to the fence, he said, ‘It’s difficult to be lieve thait if they were releas ed in these mountains, that within six months they’d be come the most dangerous wild animals loose in the United States. The wild boar is just that, you know. “They’ll charge human be ings and other animals with out the slightest provocation. And with their tusks they can tear you to bits.” The Russian wild boar pop ulation of Western North Caro lina has been estimated at more than 1,000, with most of them in Graham, Clay, Swain, and Cherokee Counties. The wild boars, he said, are real trophies for hunters in season. I Carpenter presently has no plans to release any of his ani mals. “I’m raising them for their meat which I think is de lightful,” the colonel said. The meat of the wild boar is leaner and has lower fat con tent than regular pigs, he said. The Russian boar have been in North Carolina since short ly after the turn of the cen tury, Carpenter said. “Man by name of George Moore of Robbinsville in Gra ham county put out 35 bear, eight buffalo, 12 elk, six deer, and a bunch of regular hogs on his 5,000 - acre estate, there. “The bears ate the hogs. Someone told Moore that if he’d put out Russian boars, they’d compete favorably with th bear. He imported some of them, put them out, and the hears started getting scarcer. The bear couldn’t handle those razor-sharp tusks.” The Russian hogs, he said, are “incredibly hardy. If they survive the first night after birth, they usually live on.” ■His only concession to nor mal hog raising, he added, is keeping .the sows in a farrow ing house which he calls the “maternity ward.” The little pigs and their mothers are kept in the barn for six weeks until the little ones are weaned. Then they are given a deworming medi cine and rings are put in their noses. If 'their noses weren’t ringed they’d root under the pasture fence within a few minutes. The liittle pigs, exactly the color of chipmunks and with the same 'type of stripes “are about one - third nose” when born, he added.

C. “We like to see them a good chipmunk color. When they are colored that way they grow into good black boars. If they aren’t, they’ll be an off color.” Straw eanlt be used for bed ding for the mothers and little ones, he added. “The mothers will cover their babies with straw to keep them warm, for get where they puit them and then lay down on them and kill them.” In their seven • acre pas ture, the pigs live on grass, acrons, roots, and a little corn which Carpenter gives them. He really doesn’t feed (hem enough corn in summer to make much difference in (heir growth, the retired colonel said. “But feeding them brings them to me when I call, keeps me in touch, and keeps them from getting wild.” In wintertime, ,he feeds them much more corn and other food supplements. He’s killed some which weighed as much as 300 pounds, buit that’s still a small size for Russian boars, Carpenter says.
