True Stories Of
Stokes Hunters
It was 10 Ov.lock Sav.rday
morning at the Walnut Cove barb
er shop when Mr. Blackwell ar
rived. He usually is on hand for
Ins shave promptly at 9:30. This
morning he was a little late.
But a good seat was waiting
for him and Crews soon had him
immersed in a usual marvelous
hunting tale.
This time it was squirrels, a
subject in keeping with the sea
eon, as squirrels are now free
to shoot.
Mr. Blackwell had one of the
finest squirrel hounds in seven
counties, and the dog never fail
ed to tree when he was led to the
woods near Pino Hall.
On this particular evening the
sun was nil hour high when the
dog tree!, and Mr. Blackwell
quickly was on hand and snw n

! "I never saw a dog swallow a f
live squirrel before in all my ii
days of hunting." F
"Well, what did tho dog do F
then," ;isked Crows.
"Well," roj lied tli? Pine H.i'l

that dog for several mintuos, ami
I noticed he was nervous and
fidgety, just like a person that
had indigestion, and once or twic?
while sitting on his tail, he
give out a short sharp bark or
yell, just like he was in pain.
"Suddenly he jumped up on
'
his hind feet, give a powenul
heave and out come that squirrei

dog could say scat, that squirrel
was up the tree and in the- top
again, looking down on me and
'the dog proud-like, jest like he
had done something smart."

him again?"
j "No," Mr. Blackwell says, "I
shouldered my gun and went
home. I didn't want none of that
squirrel."

L^^^ERMHITLIR WANTS IT
• • i Rusting away all over this country
. . . can help lose the war for America. For
half of every tank, gun, ship, and submarine is
made from scrap. „
Some steel furnaces are down, and others
are working from hand to mouth, facing shut
downs, because there's an acute shortage of
precious scrap metal, which is remelted with
pig iron to make our machines of war. Unless
6,000,000 additional tons of scrap is un
covered and turned in promptly, the full rate
of war production cannot be attained or in
creased. The tanks and guns and ships so
desperately needed cannot be produced.
Result: a critical bog down in our war effort.
t
From the beginning, the Norfolk and Western Railway hat | j
cooperated in the nation's campaign to salvage scrap tor t /£ JI )
America's war effort. This Railroad is accumulating and j> jjjiL
turning back into productive channels approximately 5,500 ? fJlh/lOHOS C
tons of scrap metal per month—and is reclaiming, for furthur ( ,w«\ luJn )
use, everything down to the smallest nut and bolt, ( mimmmmm )

Fortunately, there is enough scrap in this
country to tee us through millions of pounds
of it in the form of worn-out or obsolete ma
chinery, rusted old pipes, storage tanks, fenc
ing, pumps, beams, cables, chains, and boilers r
(like the abandoned 1,700 pounder pictured
above, which contains enough steel to make
half of 84 good American machine guns).
America's scrap must be turned in- Every
factory, warehouse, store,, shop* farm, attic,
basement and garage must be combed fox the
last pound of scrap, if we are to give our
fighting men the fighting machines they must
have to wiru It is the duty of every last one
of us to get ir» the scrap for Victory. Look
over your premises thoroughly today and turn
in all the scrap you can lay your hands on.
The time is short.
