Phillips Brooks. James T. Moore IX the passing of James Telanas Moore this county has losi one oi its best, as well as, oldest citizens. Spanning almost a century, the exemplary career ol this man has entered into the warp and woof of the heller life of his community. 1 . The last of the older merchants of Macon 'county, Mr. 'Moore's record was in keeping with the in tegrity and inherent 'uprightness. of his character. An old friend and former business associate said of him. "I never heard 'L'ncle Jim' say an unkind word of anyone.'' ; " W'e remember Mr. Moore's kind neighborliness when we came to Franklin. The Press office was then located in the building adjoining his clothing store. We knew him as a dignified, white haired gentleman who bore well his more than three score years and ten. The grood heritage of an upright life he be queathes to his family and county. Temperamental Temperatures A SrkA.Mi K phenomenon in freak weather con .'. ditions was reported last Saturday by our es Kcmed contemporary. The Asheville Citizen. '". Although surrounding- localities reported tem peratures from 4 to 15 degrees below zero,, the cily of Asheville's- official thermometer registered I degrees above S degrees higher .than the suburb of I-Jika. ' ' '' Now, out in those parts, close to the Georgia line and protected. by the. sheltering heights of the Great Siuoky , mountains, the official- reading hit a new low of 17 belov. Out of discussions anent the wvather popular at this time, there have arisen two schools of thought in regard to this illogical be havior of the mercury on the other side of the Ap palachian watershed. .These are purely speculative, but. at the same time charitable, to our neighbor with "winter resort" aspirations. ( hie 'hypothesis', is that a new isothermal "belt" is showing j up within the charmed circle of Ashe ville's city limits. In this case, we warn Tryon to look to her laurels. ' The other is that the official communique on thai thermometer was censored. The uncharitable intimated that it was brought in out of the cold. This suggestion has been severely frowned upon by the majority of fair-minded discussors as being unsportsmanlike, and thrown out by the umpires.) It js -our humble opinion that if all this section would play up winder sports, more winter lovers would be encouraged to enjoy the seating and ski ing possibilities in the southern mountains. There has been glorious skating on the thick ice of Asheville and points west during this month of January. WE KEEP $2 . (Charlotte News) The Hon. Robert Rice Reynolds favors us with a form letter which addresses us as "My Dear Fellow North Carolinian'' and invites us to join the American Vindicators and. kick in with two smackers to aid in the great campaign to save u,s from the aliens. It says, in part : "Fortunately, we in North Caro lina have but few aliens and Com munists .., rfowevcr, unless we stop at once the influx of thou sands upon thousand of aliens and refugees into America, North Carolina is bound to absorb some of this alien horde, some of these radicals and Communists. Many other states, particularly the New England and Western states, have already been filled with aliens and refugees who are taking jobs which 'belong to Americans." It is an excellent example of un true propaganda. Observe first the inking of "aliens and Commun ists and this alien , norue . . . these radicals and Communists." It Vi a linking designed to create the . . . . . . i . i impression that all or most oi tne aliens are "radicals and Commun ists." It happens to be a gross falsehood. Not ten per cent of them are open to the charge, under any view of the matter. Observe next that it is flatly in ferred that there is an ''influx of thousands upon thousands of al- i lens" to these' shores. '1 his . is an I 1 appeal (.1) to the fear of imiiugra-I lion in general, and (2) to the feat of persons sutfering with anti Semitic probias'thai great masses of Jewish' refugees are pouring in to the tinted States from Greater Germany. Both appeals are demonstrably untrue. According to the figures of the United States Bureau of Immigration, during the six-year period, July 1, 195, through June JO, 193, a total of 241,902 immi grants were admitted into the United States for permanent resi dence. But in the same six years, 240,449 immigrants previously ad mitted to the United i States for permanent residence left the coun try for good. That is, there were 4,487 fewer immigrants in the country at the beginning of the period than at its end. . It is interesting to note also that the 241.902 who entered the country in that period represented only 2o per cent of the 922,644 who were legally admissible under the quota law. ; . . As for Germany (plus Austria) 1 there were only 17,199 admissions i from that country f from July 1, 1937, to June 30, 1938. And the total gain in German immigrants of all sorts from July 1, 1932, to June 30, 1938, was only 43,042 a yearly average of just 6.622 to be absorbed by 130,000,000 people.

State ' Director of Commodity distribution A. E. Langston called attention to the fact that a very definite limit is placed on the amount and kind of commodities available each' month since pur chases of the federal surplus com modities corporation of "excess foodstuffs are made "only whn the production of a farm product is in such quantities as to depress the producer's return below normal or fair levels. Commodities allocated to schools may not be soid, traded or ex THESE cold, sparkling nights make the perfect setting for an old-fashioned candy party. Every one has fun everyone loves to get his teeth into delicious home-made delicacies. Here are two sugges tions: MAPLE CREAMS cups maple syrup 4 teaspoon salt V cup cream Place ) the maple syrup, cream and saH in a saucepan and stir until blended. Cook slowly to 236 F. or until a soft ball forms when a little of the mixture is dropped In cold water. Keep sugar crystals from the sides of the pan by wiping witn a wet cloth. Pour on a cold wet platter and cool to lukewarm. Work the mixture with a spatula, folding it over and over until it be gins to grow firm. Knead with the hands until smooth and creamy. Pat out on a board to about hi to inch thickness and make impres sions in the top with a carved roll ing pin. Cut in pieces. ORANGE CREAM POPCORN BALLS 1 cup sugar 14 cup cream cup orange juice 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon grated orange rind 2 quarts popped 'corn Combine the sugar, cream and or ange juice and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat and cook to 290 F. or until a hard ball forms when a little of the mixture is dropped in cold "water. Bemove from heat and add butter and or ange rind. Pour slowly over pop corn, stirring and turning the corn bo that it is evenly coated. Shape into balls and wrap in waxed paper. Machinery Is Leading Farm Safety Hazard Safetv on the farm is largely home-made, says Joe B. Richard son, assistant agricultural engineer of State college. One of the rea sons there are so many . accidents on the farm is that, farm families operate largely on their own re sponsibility. For city people at work or at home, there are numer ous safety precautions, and some one to enforce them. Richardson lists machinery as a top hazard in farm, work, despite the many improvements made on machinery in recent years. The older hazards, such as unruly bulls and kicking horses, is next. Surveys show, however, that most accidents are caused by careless ness such as haste, the use. of makeshift, repairs, by taking changed and 'must be distributed 1 chances, by using machinery with A Plea For The Birds D KMfXDKRS over the radio have urged every- body to remember the birds in a snow-covered world. Unless thev are led, many will starve or leave for a wanner home. . All who are interested in the value of bird life to, the farm and.-forest, and those who love the birds for their own sakes. are bearing them in mind during the. extreme cold of the past few weeks. The game and song-birds -of our forests and fields constitute one of the greatest assets of this region from the viewpoint of the sportsman and nature lover as well as the farmer and forester. , It is not amiss that we be reminded to feed the birds in moderate as well as cold weather. Bread cast to the birds will return to us in beauty and song:. to the children daily only in such quantities as they may normally be expected to consume,. Langston said. Educational establishments having facilities to provide hot lunchesr for the undernourished children' were not eligible to par ticipate in the expanded program, the director said. North Carolina's quota of needy. undernourished children to come under the 1039-19-40 school lunch room program was set last fall at 150,000 pupils, three times the en tire number serviced during the preceding school term. Said Director Langston: "It ap pears there are large numbers of schools that do not have lunch room facilities and trill not be able to provide them for at least the remainder of this school year. It is to aid these institutions that we have set up the fresh fruit supplementary program to try to reach more of the state's needy, undernourished children." SET MORE TREES Eight Lenoir county farmers are setting 1,000 seedling pine trees per acre on unused fields this winter. Assistant extension ajrent O. R. Freeman says 15,000 trees have been set to date by these men. He also reports cleaning to- jDacco seed for 411 farmers to out guards, or with cuards re moved. Among the reasons why the farm is a fertile field for ! acci dents, Richardson says, are these: Much farm work is done by in dividuals at some distance from others so that an accident may be serious because help is not at hand. On the farm there are fre quent change's in work and ma chinery used, which may mean ua- tamilianty with equipment "and less accuracy of movement. Under the pressure of summer work, there are often long hours in the field, and chores done in a hurry after dark 4oth conducive to ac cidents. 'The suffering, the loss of time, and the actual cash cost of these accidents," says Richardson, "shows the need for avoiding them. It ha, been shown time and time again that the well-ordered farm, witn well-ordered activities, is good insurance against .accidents. "But still, to a great extent the farmer must be his own safety engineer and almost entirely his own disciplinarian. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. What causes mv milk L foam durinjr churnincr i that tt, butter does not collect properly? A. An abnormal fermentation in the milk is sometimes responsible for this. The best way to prevent the condition is to add a pint of good flavored buttermilk to each .10 gallons of milk several hours before churning time. -This should be' thoroughly mixed with the sweet milk and held at a temperature of 65 to 70 degrees. Another reason for this foamy "condition is too low a temperature. The best tempera ture to churn , in the winter is around 70 degrees and this should be determined by a churn ther mometer before churning time. Q. How can I get rid of cut worms in my hotbeds? A. Cutworms are readily control led by a poisoned bait made by mixing thoroughly five pounds of wheat bran, with two ounces of Paris green. After mixing the.se ingredients while dry, enough wat er should be added to moisten the mixture. Squeeze the mixture and then release the grip and, if the particles separate readily, enough water has been added. The bait is most effective when applied late in the evening and should be scat tered at about one pound to each 25 square yards of bed iefore the plants come up or among the young growing plants in the bed. This bait is poison&ns. and should be kept out of reach of children and ivestock. Q. What percentage of eggs set will hatch out pullets? A. Five eggs should be set for every pullet wanted. This allows for a 50 per. cent hatch and about 20 per cent deaths and culls. If a larger hatch is secured then there will be more pullers as it is a general rule that about 50 per cent of the livable chick are pullets. If the hatching eggs are carefully hatched and selected a greater per cent of them will hatch with a resultant increase in the number of pullets. Consumption of Pork And Apples Promoted Eat , more pork, cook it with apples. This is a call from North Caro lina farmers as they unite in orc- motional campaigns to increase the consumption of these two impor tant foods products in this slate. C. L.
