ERWIN And FRANCES McKUSICK Washington?Curosity killed a cat, as the old saying goes,3and satisfaction brought it back. On a tour of the great moun- j tain country of Western North j Carolina last May, the male member of this writing firm re- j newed a lot of old friendships and saw some of the Tar Heel scenic sights he loved so well. He also saw farmhouses, barns, cows, horses and pigs on moun- i tainsides, and he wondered how the livestock kept their footing j on precarious elevations often with little but space below them. The other day, we spotted Representative Zebulon Weaver, the veteran Congressman from Asheville, in the House Demo- , cratic cloakroom, and put the question to him, how do farm animals keep from falilng off the mountains. "We have a special breed out there," explained Mr. Weaver, as he took a healthy ;aff on his r pipe and smiled b oadly. "We grow them with legs, front and back, longer on one side than , on the other. In that way, they can run 'round a mountain and never loose their footing." All joking aside, he contended Ilaywood and other mountain counties had some of the best cattle in the world, thriving on natural blue grass. Judge John H. Kerr, Second District Congressman, come s from the flatlands of Eastern Carolina, but he has a warm spot in his heart for the mountains. "You mean that sweet, succulent blue grass," he exclaimed to Congressman Weaver. As for the reader, he can take thp mountains or the seashore. but as far as North Carolina is concerned, we'll take it all. sea- , shore, piedmont, sandhills and mountains, collectively the garden spot of the world. * * A North Carolina girl, one of the first WAAC officers graduated from the Army training | | school at Des Moines, was one ! of the first two to receive the ' salute of an Army enlisted man in the Nation's Capital. !

Kaiser as a source of magnesium from which to make the huge transoort planes was disclosed in Raleigh. A Uni ed Press dispatch from Raleigh said: Henry J. Kaiser, outstanding West coast engineer and builder. is studying the possibility of us'ng huge deposits of olivine in Western North Carolina as a source of magnesium for his proposed mammoth cargo planes, it was disclosed hero today. Fred Lohse, assistanf manager of the Kaiser company, advised the state department of conservation and development that recovery of magnesium from olivine was being studied by his research department and that 'if favorable results are obtained. we may quite definitely be interested in a good supply of olivine." The high-content magnesia mineral is found in almost unlimited quantities in a bell about 135 miles long and 15 miles wide extending from Boone in Watauga county to the Georgia border line. The deposit is believed to the the largest in the world. Several weeks ago Director R. Bruce E'heridge of the conservation department wired Kaiser to call attention to the many tons of olivine available in North Carolina. Previously stale officials have sought. diligently to promote development of the mineral. Governor J. M. Broughton has discussed the matter with Chair* " ~ f XI TITrt ?? man Donald ineison 01 uie wai Production board, and representatives of the conservation department have canvassed leading firms throughout the nation on the subject. A report on the deposits said there are hundreds of millions of tons of olivine available. Some 230 million tons with a magnesia content of plus 45 per cent are reddily accessible with convenient transportation by rail or highways, the report sa'd.

Men Overseas It's time to start Christmas shopping for friends and relatives serving abroad in the Navy and Marine Corps. Christmas parcels and cards should be nailed during the month of October?November may be too late. Carelessness in choosing gifts or in sending them, and failure to mail early enough, may mean that the recipient will have little or no Christmas cheer from home. The earlier packages are mailed, the better the chances that they will arrive before Christmas. Packages should be labeled "Christmas parcels." Here are some of the suggestions of Navy and Postal officials: Arncies snoiuu ue caany liable and useful in any climate. In the recommended category are toilet kits, watches, notebooks, pipes, wallets, pens or pencils, photographs, etc. Electrical apparatus is of doubtful value. N o perishable matter should be included. Food, including cakes, cookies, fruits, etc, should be particularly avoided, as the necessary delay in handling mail under war conditions often causes such gifts to arrive in bad condition. Stale or mashed cakes, cookies reduced to crumbs, and spoiled fruit do not make for a Merry Christmas' for boys overseas. Besides, our Navy is the best fed and clothed in the world and members will prefer non-food gifts. Clothing should not be sent unless it has been specifically asked for. Postal regulations specifically prohibit the sending of intoxicants, inflammable materials (including matches of all kinds and lighter fluids,) and poisons. Because of the urgent need for shipping space for war mater'"i" oirra /-if Phricfmus narppls id iO Ui I V_ Oi/J^ W A \/4iA should not exceed that of an ordinary shoe box and should not weigh over six pounds. Not more than one Christmas package may be mailed by the same sender, or to the same recipient, in -any one week. Most Christmas parcels for overseas must be transported great distances and undergo considerable handling and storage. Therefore all parcels should be packed in substantial boxes or containers, and be covered by strong wrappers. Delay will be avoided if packages are not sealed but "tied or secured so as to be readily opened for censoring. However, sealed packages of cigars, tobacco and toilet articles in simplest form, may be enclosed within packages. Contents of packages should be packed tightly to avoid damage in transit. Sharp instruments such as knives and razors should have their edges protected. Parcels for naval personnel abroad should show, in addition to the name and address of the sender, the name, rank or rating of the addressee and the naval unit or ship to which he is assigned. The location of the unit or ship, even if known by ?Continued on Page Four 1 1
