FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER By EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON We guess the fame of CoL Cal Carpenter's ALMAR Farm country cured ham is destined for a boost in high places. Regular readers of Cal’s “From ALMAR frarm” col umn and owners of his book, “the Best From ALMAR Farm,” will be familiar with the recipe if not. the product itself, for Cal has written about it a lot. We’ve tried it and we agree with everything he’s said about it It’s the best there is. Now, as we said, it’s in for a boost in high places. For during TV and movie star Eddie Albert’s visit to Con nestee last weekend, he and Cal got on the subject of home-grown, organic food. Mr. Albert is greatly inter ested in the subject—a strong believer in natural food for health as well as a national spokesman for the natural purity of the environment. The upshot of the conversa tion was that Mr. Albert and Stan Whitcomb, President of Realtec, Inc., parent firm of the Connestee recreational residential home project, were there last Saturday morning and had the break fast you just can't get any where else, we know—home made tomato juice, ALMAR Farm hath, fresh farm eggs, grits, brown eye gravy (red eye ham gravy made with cof fee instead of water), Marge Carpenter’s hot biscuits, and home made crab apple and fox grape jelly. Maybe someone will talk Cal into going into the ham curing business — we wish they could, but we doubt it. As he says, it’s too much work; and, after all he’s re tired. Nevertheless, we’d like to be able to buy ALMAR Farm country cured ham at the market. We enjoyed meeting Eddie Albert. He’s a smart, down-to-earth fellow, and just as modest as he can be. We hope the day will soon come that he will build a home here at beautiful Connestee Falls as he plans to do.

A prize-winning columnist for THE TRANSYLVANIA TIMES, the Brevard weekly newspaper that has won more prizes for excellence in journalism than any other weekly in the state, Cal Car penter, in sharp newspaper style, has captured the essence of this area in this collection of the best of his columns, “From ALMAR Farm/’ A retired Air Force colonel, Cal Carpenter and his wife, Marge, came to Transylvania County at age 45. They had always wanted to live on a farm, and though a thoroughly urbanized couple, they pitched into farm life on 70 acres near Rosman. Colonel Carpenter’s account of the many happenings is oftimes hilarious, as when he writes about the “Bib Overalls,” the sex-changing chicken and their encounter with a setting hen. It is sometimes nostalgic, when he writes of his boyhood; it is occasionally sad when he writes “A Moment of Silent Tribute,” a sensitively beautiful tribute to Marge’s grandmother, and “Butch’s Obituary,” a farewell to a well-loved farm dog. It is always interesting, always different; it always carries the clear message of his own contentment and happiness op ALMAR Farm. READABLE, RESTFUL-A WONDERFUL GIFT FOR ANY OCCASION the weather, but, no one does anything about it, we’ll write about it. In the Forest Service news this week it. is reported that for the first nine months of 1971 the weather station at the Fish Hatchery has had 31 inches of rainfall We couldn’t believe this. It seems it has rained about every day. We called the weatherman Fred Reiter, at the Radio Station. He reports that, rainfall there for the first nine months was 47.8 inches. Quite a difference, and the two stations are located less than five air miles apart, we’d say. Olin reports 45.97 for the period January through Sep tember this year. But rainfall at the Ashe ville Airport compares favor ably with the Pisgah National Forest. The total there was 33.84. If you ask us, it has rained more at the Glen Cannon golf course and at Etowah than anywhere else. Joke of the week . . . A real estate man was using high pressure tactics to sell some poor farmland. “All this land needs is a little water, a cool breeze, and some good peo ple to settle here,” he said. “Maybe so,” replied the farmer, “but that’s all Hell needs too.” And we also like . . . A woman was asked if she had yet made the long trip to California to visit her son and his new wife. “No,” she replied, “I’ve been waiting until they have their new baby.” “Oh, I see,” said the friend, “you don’t want to spend the money for the trip until then.” “No, it isn’t that,” the woman explained. “You see, I have a theory that grandmothers are more wel come than mothers-in-law.” A “Warning on mail-order stuff” was recently issued by Changing Times in the follow ing words: It’s the time of year when your mailbox begins to get stuffed with all sorts of flyers and catalogs promoting gift items for Christmas. Before you order, make sure you know whom you’re dealing with. One of the most frequent complaints made by consumers to the Fed eral Trade Commission comes from people who ordered an item by mail. They paid for it and didn’t get it or they had to wait months for delivery, or they couldn’t get a refund for undelivered merchandise or sat isfaction for defective or dam aged stuff. All kinds of com panies are involved, big and small ones, some well-known and some fly-by-nights. One way to avoid these problems is to order C.O.D. Another is to deal with a company that has a lo cal office or store or is easily reached by phone. If you’re not sure about an outfit, think twice before ordering. You may never see your merchandise or your money again.

According to the Arizona Farm Bureau Federation, a re cent nationwide survey of Wom en’s buying habits indicated curiosity was the most import ant reason for trying a new food product. Women in the western states had a higher de gree of curiosity and 72 percent of the women polled said they usually learn of a new product through advertising.

It’s team effort that achieves the records that win the awards. “On behalf of OUn, I thank you for your fine perform ance,” Mr. Grand said. The Group’s concern for the human and property values was expressed by Mr. Baldwin in his introduction of Mr. Grand. “As managers we’re very much concerned with our as sets: our human resources whom we strive to protect from injury, a?5 the property in our custody which we try to protect for our stockhold ers,” Mr. Baldwin said.

Only two operating units, the Fine Paper and Film Group and the Brass Group, improved their disabling frequency rate in 1970 over 1969. Whereas the safety award is based on the frequency of injuries to personnel and total man-hours worked, the loss prevention award is in consideration of property losses and the cost of inter ruptions in production caused by those losses.
