PAeE SIX THl FRANKLIN PftlSS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY. FEB. 6, CHURCH TO GET NEW HYMNALS Highlemds Highlights EDITED BY MRS. T. C. HARBISON Presentation To Be Made! highlands hopeful At Methodist Church Next Svinday A special strvice of music will be conductcd Sunday morning at the Franklin Methodist church, and at this time the young people’s class will formally present to the church 150 copies of the New M'Cthodist Hymnal. Some weeks ago the class took as its project the raising of money to supply the church with the new hymnals. The bo'jks arrived last week, and will be used f«/r the first time in the services next Sunday. A num ber of special musical selections will be rendered by the choir, and members of the congregation will join in singing from the new hymnal. The New Methodist Hymnal is the first complete revision of the book since 1905. It is the official hymn book of the three great Methodist bodies in America: the Methodist Episcopal church, the Methodist Ejiiscopal church, South, and the Methodist Protestant church. A joint commission consist ing of representatives from these three bodies worked for seven years in preparing this new edition. It is re(.;arded by muscial and re ligious authorities to be in the top rank. Dr. S. Parkes Cadinan says that it is "unsurpassed by any.” Interest in the new hymnal has been aroused in recent months by the radio program, "Hymns of the Ages,” which consists of scle-ti-'l hymns from the hymnal sung by the Chapel Choir over s'ati^oii WSM in iNashville each Sunday evening at 6:30. This program has heightened the desire of the Meth odist congregation to have the ncv. book available for use in its services. The choir of the Methodist church has rece.ntly been strength ened by the addition of some ex- cell'cnt voices, and a new electric motor has been installed in th' pipe organ. It is expected that the service Sunday will maintain the high standard for which the music of the Franklin M-cthodist church is known. Officials of the church have ex pressed gratification at the work of the young people’s class in •;upplying the church with the new hymnals. The new revisifon was pub lished in October, 1935, and the Franklin church is thought to be the first in the Waynesville dis trict to be thus supplied with the new edition. GROUNDHOG IS RIGHT HIGHLANDS, Feb. 5. —The groundhog who lives in Highlands was ccrtainly unable to see his shadow if he ventured out of his den into the snow storm Sunday niiorning. Snow began falling Sat urday night and continued steadily until late Sunday afternoon, re sulting in a inch fall, the sec ond deepest of the season. The deepest snow of the winter, which occured Dec. 28-29, measured of ficially 10 inches. A snow on Dec. 17, 1930, also measured 10 inches. These two snows are the deepest ever recorded at the government weather station three miles south of Highlands during the thirteen years the station has been main tained at its present location. The weather here for the past six weeks has been unusual in two respects—the continued low temper ature and the amount of snow. The following official statistics were given out by Miss Gertrude Harbi- son, keeper of the station. It should be remembered that the temperature in Highlands is as a rule about four degrees lower than at the station. The minimum tem- Iierature during the winter thus far was two below zero on Jan. 31. '1 he second lowest was one below zero on Dec. 26. Other low temper atures'; two below zero on Jan. 28, three above on Dec. 21, four above on Dec. 27. There have been seven snows during the winter and a number of snow flurries. Very heavy rain during the first part of this week washed up the last snow, although remains of it may yet be seen on northern slopes and in sheltered places. Though inclined to dcmbt the old legend that w'hen the groundhog fails to see his shadow the worst of winter is over, Highlands folk are hopeful that it will prove cor rect this year. Mrs, J. Z. Gottwals is visiting friends and relatives this week in Franklin. J. E. Rideout slipped on the ice and fell the first of this week and painfully injured his left arm. George Patton, of Franklin, was in Highlands on business Wednes day morning. Bill Simms left Wednesday for his home in Birmingham, Ala., after several months in Highlands. A shower is planned Friday after noon for Mrs. Jo« Earnhardt, rec ent bride, at the home of Mrs. Sam Wilson. W. S. Davis, Highlands merchant, went to Franklin on business Wed nesday. THE FAMILY DOCTOR JOHN XISEPM GAINES.M.D, Mission Groups To Hold Zone Meeting Feb. 12 The quarterly zone meeting of the Woman’s Missionary societies of the Methodist church in Macon TOunty will be held in the Frank lin Metliodist church on Wednes day, Feb. 12, starting at 10:30 o’clock in the morning. The program will center around observance of officers training day, and the officers of the various so cieties have been especially re quested to attend. Mrs. F. E. Bran son, of Canton, district siiperin tendent, is to attend and wishes to discuss with the officers any prob lems or plans pertaining to their offices. Luncheon will be served at noon by members of the attending so cieties. DETECTIVE DIETS Very seldom do I quote anybody But a little pamphlet, "Food Facts” ■'.mi'Cs to my desk every once in awhile and it is so full of common ;ense that J feel justified in pass ing this bit along: “A well-meaning gentleman came to consult a physician. He was somewhat worried about himself. The doctor found that he relig iously walked four miles a day, w'atched his diet like a detective, took eight hours of sleep willy- nilly, drank no coffee or tea, used no tobacco and seriously and con scientiously tried to carry out hcaltli-giving rules. ... His phys ical righteousness had gone to his head . . . and to his body also. . . . The thing had backfired on him. In short, he had become a nervous wreck!” Haven’t I seen many a man and woman who had made dunces of themselves by adopting every fad that came their way? And, haven’t I seen the extreme difficulty of trying to win them back ta the natural way of living? Each individual is peculiar to himself. Some individuals need eight hours of sleep; they prove it >by sleeping comfortably eight hours, and awakening refreshed and re stored. Others get quite enough sleep in six hours. The rule to ob- sene is, see that you feel rested and restored on awakening, wheth er it be after five, six, or even nine hours of sleep. I truly am sorry for the poor fellow (he or she) who “watches his diet like a detective.” For 'heaven’s sake, eat a diversified diet of soft, digestible, well-cooked food. Eat heaviest at mornings and noons. And forget about strict rules. Getting Up Nights If you suffer from 0«ttin?

Required by Law Mr. Waldroop stressed the im portance of the public in taking advantage of this opportunity to obtain free labor for the construc tion of ajiproved privies by pointing out that a North Carolina statute provides that: “Every residence locatfil within 300 yards of another residence must have an improved privy of a type approved by the state board of health.” 1 Ians for approved privies, in cluding material specifications, can be obtained from Air. Waldroop. A similar project was launched two years ago under the Public Works Administration, but the al location of funds for the work was diverted to another project be fore the sanitation program was completed. Mr. Wald,roop 'expressed the hope that the people of the county would cooperate in this project by sub mitting their applications for new privies as soon as possible He liointcd out that this probably would be their last opportunity of providing thems’Clves with modern sanitary facilities at such small cost. Closed for a Week; Franklin School Reopens The Franklin consolidated school reopened Wednesday after having been closed since last Thursday on account of the severe winter weather and a fuel shortage. Many roads were rendered impassaible by the heavy snows and school buses were unable to run on schedule and could not reach some points on their routes. Some of the county schools continued to hold classes as usual throughout the bad weather the latter part of last week and f this week; but most OttfrT them Kyle, Sprint' Evergkd«s Water The depth of water in Florida’s i:.verglades ranges to six feet.

The big advantage of lespedeza is that it will grow on land too poor or too high in acidity to produce other legumes profitably. With the in creasing demand for this legume it really should be considered as a farm crop, just as corn or wheat, both to supply seed for each farmer’s own use and to supply seed for sale, thus preventing so much money going out of the cOiunty each year for seed. Soil Improver As a soil improvement crop ies- pedeza fits into our crop rotation for this county as well or better than any other legume crop. Its thick growth, when seeded prop erly, prevents washing and the heavy soil when turned under. Each plant has nodules on the roots which put nitrogen into the soil just the same as cowpeas, red clover and other legumes; but due to the thick growth there will be more plants doing the same job. The average increase last year in the yield of corn following lespe deza was 17.5 bushels per acre. The price of one bushel of lespe deza seed is a mighty good invest ment when that much increase in corn ca,n be obtained. This can be done by sowing 25 pounds (1 bush el) of lespedeza on small grain after Feb. 15 and, if possible, left on the land two years before turn ing under. It should be turned in the fall or winter as other spring sown legumes, thus giving the sod time to decay before the com is planted. If any of the common va rieties are sown, seed can be saved by means of a seed pan each year to be used on other fields and still have the plant I'cft to ibe turned under. i^ajkes Giood Hay For hay no other grasses or le gumes can be SiOWin in this county that will equal it when grown on good bottom land. It is readily eaten by all classes of livestock with very little or no waste. Ac tual tests in this county have shown an increase in milk flow and body weight when changing from soy bean hay to lespedeza hay. The state test farms show that lespe deza hay is .equal to alfalfa in maintaining body weight and almost equal in milk flow and butter fat production. Lespedeza hay is more easily cured than is a similar ton nage of other legumes. This is a very important factor in this county due to the excessive rainfall The variety that has given the most tonnage in this county per acre has been Kobe, which has given yields as high as three tons per acre. However, on medium up land Korean gives best results and also this variety is recommended where the elevation is 3,500 feet or more. This is due to its early maturing date. The rate of seeding when a hay crop is to be taken the first year should be at least 40 pounds per acre or more. The thick- ■er stand causes a taller growth producing more tonnage per acre and haying less weeds. Weeds should be clipped early in the seed. When a volunteer crop is expected following a crop of hay and cut early enough and high enough so that the sec ond growth will have time to pro- uce seed, or the cutting must be delayed until part of the seed has cut If L being Kobe n on Common or Kobe prohibits the sowing of a oTatTeTsf’ ^--er%hould - usually ready for is after the Sfn soot, will Kobe .bom t JtLb'S Commoo about (he first of iS tw been increased more than dc as it affords good pas.turage ing the hot summer and fall ny when most other pasture p are dormant.
