I. Case, extension ; animal husbandman of State College. They have learned something about the many factors which contribute to growing a product in ready demand ,by the market. Chief among these factors are 1 good breeding, feeding and man- ' agement practices. In breeding, the successful sheepman is careful to select ' short-legged, compact, blocky rams rather than the long-legged, coarse, upstanding type. Then he ships to market each ; year his wether lambs and part of tys ewe lambs but holds back ' the best ewe lambs for replacing ' old and poor-producing members of the flock. , ! Good feeding, placed by many sheepmen ahead of breeding, is ( likewise imnnrt.nnt. in t.V\p r>ro Auction of high grade market 1 animals. Plenty of milk is proba- ! bly the most important feed item 'n producing top-notch lambs. This means that the ewes must be fed for milk production. Case said that many growers feed their lambs some grkin in addition to the milk. This is. often placed in a creep where the iambs may help themselves Without being disturbed by the ?i.der sheep. fn addition to good feeding and good breeding, there are a large number of approved man agement practices that the 'host successful shepmen follow, Case said. One of the most imi^fant is a regularly monthly inching for the control of in^mal parasites. Cooperative grading and sellunder the supervision of ate College Extension farm agents have also played an important part in improving the Quality of iambs offered for sale. . A * HE COUNTY ding Boom U Full Blast ORGANIZE READING CONFERENCE AT _ CULLOWHEE (Winnie Alice Murphy) Cullowhee, June 10 (Special)? Awareness of the fan* t.hot tardation in reading interferes materially with school progress and success in general, the guidance clinic of Western Carolina Teachers College has organized a reading conference to be held at the college June 17-21 for those directly or indirectly interested in reading and its problems. The purpose of this conference s to present a composite picture of the modern approach to the eading field with emphasis on practical techniques and methods. In the light of many new ievelopments in reading, the conference will present tangible nformation concerning diagnostic, preventive, and corrective reading techniques. Those attending the reading conference will have the opportunity of coming in contact vith educators of America outstanding in the reading field. \mong the many lecturers and instructors who have been obtained to appear on the program is Dr. William A. McCall, professor of education, Teachers College, Columbia University. Dr. McCall is the author of "How to In TT.HllPQt.lni1 " 4<HOW BtAjiClUUCllli ui uwwww?.w.., (Continued on Back Page) WASHINGTON .WEEK Washington.?Aside from the tremendous public reaction to the military phases of present events in Europe, the public and Dfficial Washington are becoming acutely aware of other threats to this and other countries which are quite apart from dangers of agression in the hitherto accepted sense of the word. CJp until now the leaders of the country have thought of threats by foreign powers in terms of troops, navies, air forces and other orthodox military instruments. In the American scheme of deforce* nffiic.iais are now coming &VAAUV _ to view the Trojan Horse, or the fifth column just as much a part 3f an agressor nation's war machine, as are their tanks, planes, and cannon, and are moving swiftly now toward forging an effective defense against this new instrument of modern warfare. Those charged with the task of drafting the plans of America's vast new war defense measures have seen the havoc wrought by the activities of the fifth column In Norway, Denmark and the Low Countries. The swift disintegration of these nations, which m the surface seemed fairly well prepared, only to collapse entirely at the first thrust of the Nazi war machine, offers a valuable lesson to American leaders, nrr-iov realize that they must act swiftly and with as great a degree ^of accuracy and farsightedness as possible toward combating these well-planned and often deyastatingly smooth-working phases of international strife. The basic principle of the Trojan Horse and fifth column movement is for a nation planning an attack upon another nation to get as many of their "soldiers" well intrenched in enemy territory before the actual open-and-above-board invasion starts. The "soldiers" are placed in a country as students, tourists, and, in as many cases, as possible as workers. They appear innocently seeking jobs in vital industries, such as transportation, communications, machine shops and other spots where the least amount of sabotage may do the most toward the complete demoralization of the nation undergoing the attack. Their work is concentrated upon upsetting (Continuea on Page Four) .

Powell announces. d In that six months period, the q increase in number of checks \\ was from 32,673 in November, an q all-time low, to 87,689 in May, the highest reached since Au- t gust, 1938, Mr. Powell said. The t percentage incerase from No- s vember to May was 168. t The number and percentage t of increase over the 32,673 checks e issued in November, 1939, each a succeeding month is: December r over November, 3.750 checks, or y 11.5 per cent; January over De- a cember, 12,786, or 35.1 per cent; t February over January, 10,566* v checks, or 21.5 per cent; March e over February, 10,385 checks or b 17.4 per cent; April over March, f 12.835 checks, or 18.3 per cent; c Mflv nvpr Anril A fiQd r?hor?Vc nr - ??^ ?rAM *>vw - v* U 5.7 per cent. b The largest number of checks u issued in any month was 160,650 s in June, 1938, the sixth month a after payments started the lat- b ter part of January, 1938. Subject to seasonal or period va- t riations, the number gradually b dropped from that month to No- j vember, 1939, when the continu- r ous monthly increase started. v As each check represents a a compensable week of unemploy- i ment of a protected worker, it v follows that business conditions s in the state have gradually de- r clined for six months, and have e now reached a point as low as c was experienced in August, 1988, o nearly "two yerirs ago; tfhlcfi was i the last month in which checks f numbered more than in May. a The reduction in the gradual a increase from April to May indicates a check in the amount of unemployment in the State, or that eligible unemployed f workers are exhausting their j benefits, but probably means some of both, Chairman Powell said' - t STREAM DYNAMITERS I rn/rw rniTP MOMTTTS t VJJ. W l' vrviv iTivyii j. A From prosecution reports re- a ceived by the Asheville, North ^ Carolina Division of Game and ^ Inland Fisheries, Jack Williams, F Malcolm Ellis, Leonard Curtis a and James Dotson, all of Black f Mountain, N. C., were each given ^ four months on the county roads t by Judge J. P. Kitchen of the c Buncombe County Court, for dynamiting fish in the North a Fork of Swannanoa River. c These men were apprehended n on May 23rd by F. E. Sorrells, b Buncombe County Game and 13 Fish Protector* assigned by 1 Sheriff Lawrence Brown, Depu- s ty Tom Brown and Policeman e Smith of Black Mountain. An interesting angle of the s case was that upon hearing of 1 the arrest, the Buncombe Coun- n ty Hunters and Fishers Associa- ^ tion obtained two lawyers to c help the State in prosecuting the * case. The penalty is unusually u severe considering the past cases P but Judge Kitchen realized that s this practice is one of the most b vfoinus ones and says that he is 0 determining to break up the vio- 5 lations of game and fish laws. The State Game and Fish De- I partment is doing everything it ? can to eradicate this violation of the fish laws. 0 Methodist Youths * Go To Camp o ? a Miss Lila Moore Hall, repre- C senting Sylva Epworth League t is at Camp at Camp Carlyle, near p Hendersonville. | C Paul Cope, Buddy Reed and p Jimmy Keener, will attend the a same camp, beginning Saturday; to and plans are being made for 1 others of the young people's $ group from the church to go to t Lake Junaluska, the last of this $ month. t * , ..
