Twenty-seven school lunch pro grams were aided, during the month in which 1,296 needy and under nourished graded school pupils ol the state received free hot lunches, while 318 persons in four children's camps, were helped by the extra food supplies.

Macon county has been allocated to the 6th area and will continue to be served from the Bryson City warehouse.

Morris, extension eco nomist of State college, to have an ample meat "supply throughout the year and at the same time prevent waste that so- often occurs during the slaughtering season when fresh pork is so plentiful. First is fore sight, then industry, and third, and probably the most important, a pressure canner. "The onlv safe wav 'to can nork is with steam under pressure ; therefore, a pressure canner is a necessity," Mrs. Morris declared. Some of the ; food conservation specialist's . suggestions on canning meats follows: Select fresh, clean, meat and discard the surplus fat. Chill pork 24 hours before canning, but do not allow it to freeze. Meat may be canned either raw or partially cooked, and the pro cessing time will be the same in either case but it will take the raw meat longer to reach the de sired pressure, Pre-cooking may be done by searching the meat in fat, by partially roasting it, or by parboiling. Meat to be canned should not be cooked more than half done. Season the' meat with two level teaspoons of salt to each quart, and sprinkle with pepper sparing ly. Do not season meat before partially cooking it. Cut the meat into convenient sizes and pack loosely in hot ster ilized jars. Arrange the pieces for heat penetration. Do not add liquid to meat that is packed raw, since the processing will draw out enough liquid to cover the product suffi ciently. Place the jar,s in a pressure can ner and process both cooked and raw meats 660 minutes at 15 pounds pressure. Parents Day At Brevard Sunday, November 5 BREVARD, Nov. 1. Sunday, November 5, has been set aside: for the annual observances of Parents' Day at Brevard college. Parents' Day usually follows directly after Homecoming. ' This day will afford the parents an opportunity to become acquaint ed with faculty and principals of the school, as well as inspect the physical environment. In the afternoon a program will Jbe given in the auditorium, at which time there will be a musical rendition by the music department of the school. , Letters of invitation have been sent to the parents of every stu dent and it is expected that a large number of parents will avail themselves .of the opportunity to spend the entire day in Brevard.

T. F. Ry. Makes Special Trip To Oblige Customer We reprint the following story from the Cornelia (Ga.) Northeast Georgian : "Maybe a big railroad couldn't have done it in these days of regu lation and red tape, but here's an interesting story of what a little railroad did a few days ago to give service to a loyal customer. "Last Friday morning a South ern freight train dropped off in Cornelia a carload of 1940 Chevro let consigned to the Burrell Motor company in Franklin, N. C. As you remember, the new Chevrolet was advertised to be on' display in every dealer's showroom in the United States at daybreak last Saturday morning. But the Tallu lah Falls Railway's freight train was already on its way to. Frank lin when the car of autos was switched off here Friday and it looked very much as if there would be one dealer without his new cars to show the public, especially as the T. F. is not big enough to have extra engines with .steam up and crews 'waiting to man them. "But here's what happened : Superintendent Brewer met , the freight train on its return trip that afternoon and talked it over with the crew. They all agreed that the Franklin dealer was a loyal patron of the railroad and entitled to special service. So, without even a stop for supper, the freight engine hooked on to the car and made a special run to Franklin. The locomotive and crew got back to Cornelia late in the evening, but still some hours within the limits of the . railroad 16-hour law; and the new Chevro lets were delivered ' in Franklin in time for a showing in two deal ers' showrooms the next morning just as per schedule. "Incidentally, that special run cost the T. F. about twice the amount of the freight on that one carload but after all every busi ness that considers the welfare of its customers faces sthat situation now and then." CARD OF THANKS We want to thank our friends and neighbors for the kindness shown during the sickness and death of our darling baby, and for the beautiful flowers. THE STOCKTON FAMILY a "rightful" German government (similar to the Polish government now internationally, these three men -would undoubtedly head it.

Over 6, 000 have been cared for and train ed and the Home is filled to ca pacity all the time and has a wait ing list, ilts graduates and former pupils are in all walks of fife and there is no record of a former pupil having been convicted and sentenced for committing a major crime. It is the oldest orphanage in the state and the only frater nal order orphanage in the United States that receives children other than those of the membership of the supporting order. At the present time 50 per cent of the population or the Orphan age is of Masonic parentage. The Home possesses valuable buildings, grounds and equipment and has had no operating deficit for sever al years. Superintendent C. K. Proctor an nounces that the sum of $12,500.00 is needed this year in addition to operating expenses in order to pro vide for the repairs and improve ments that have been made. The Oxford Orphanage is more than a philanthropy it is an in vestment in the lives of North Carolina boys and girls who would not otherwise have a chance. It pays to the state and its citizen ship ihe high dividends in char actor and trained young people. It is an opportunity today for North Carolina citizens to express in a substantial way their desire to help others. , The orphanages of the state use the Thanksgiving season as an oc casion to appeal to the citizens of the state for much needed assis tance. The superintendent of the Oxford Orphanage announces that the Home is open for visitors each day and hundreds of North Caro lina citizens visit this historic spot every, year. RECORD More winter cover crops will be sown in Northampton county this year than ever before, reports H. G. Snipes, assistant farm agent of the State college extension .service.

I . sterling to defray expenses. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. How can I prevent my chicks from picking at each other all the time ? A. The habit is usually formed during the growing period and is caused by crowding, over-heating, lack of green feed or too little fibre in the ration. Many poultry men feed liberally of wliole oats to the laying flock to curtail this vice and where whole oats are used during the growing period with plenty of range and green feed the habit is les,s likely to oc cur. There are small metal pick ing preventive devices on the market which give satisfactory re sults and these, may be secured from any poultry supply house. Q. How far apart should apple trees be set in a new orchard? A. Apple trees should be set at least 35 feet apart in the row. This distance also applies to pear trees, but for peach, plum, and cherry trees the distance is re duced to 25 feet. In setting the trees, be sure that the hole is large enough to keep from bend ing the roots and deep enough so that the young trees are about two inches deeper than they stood in the nursery. However, if the roots are extremely long, they may be trimmed to around eight inches' from the stem. Arey Tells Dairymen To Raise Own Calves On January 1, 1939, there were 381,000 milk cows in North Caro lina, or approximately one milk cow for each nine inhabitants. The average productive life of a cow is only five years. On this basis, says John A. Arey, extension dairyman of State college, it will be necessary for North .Carolina farmers and dairy men to raise 76,200 heifer calves annually to even maintain the number of cows now in use, which is not enough to produce a suffi cient quantity of dairy products to meet the demands of home con sumption. In the sections of this state from which milk is sold for fluid con sumption, .some dairymen still , de pend upon buying cows to replace the discarded ones rather than raise them, Arey stated. 'This method of replenishing a herd is often responsible for heavy losses caused by bringing in communi cable diseases: through new cows. It also rarely ever results in in creasing herd production from year to year," he continued. "Since the ability of cows for milk production is inherited, the wise dairyman will use a. good bull and raise his best heifer calves. He will see in each of these heifer calves the possibility of a cow which will not only replace a dis carded member of his herd, but will also help to raise the aver age production of his herd." The specialist said that the last federal census report showed that there were 90,000 farm families: in North Carolina without even one family cow. "The shortage of cows in this state, and the great difficulty in securing good cows from ' other slates, even at high prices, makes it very important that our farm ers and dairymen give more atten tion in the future to the raising of good heifer calves," Arey deilared.
