HIGHLANDS' FITTING TRIBUTE TO SAMUEL PRIOLEAU RAVENEL In 'the death of Samuel Prioleau Ravenel at his home in Charleston last week, Highlands has lost one of its most honored and exemplary citizens. He was a "chip of the old block" in that he followed in the footsteps of his parents who were progressive and enterprising pio neer . citizens. Mr. Kavenel was noted for his quick sympathy, his deep interest, in humanity, and his generous aid in all movements for the betterment of the community. He loved Highlands as v few of us can. At all times Jhe strove for the preservation of the natural beau ties of this section, and in 1915 he land his sisters, the Misses Mar guerite and Clare Ravenel, and Mrs. Elise Ravenel' Duane, gave Sunset Rocks to the town in memory of their parents as a park for the enjoyment of residents and visit ' ors. To them, parents and son, High lands owes a very great deal for what it is today, and as one per son so aptly expressed it "theirs was a never-ending influence, an influence which will be - felt in Highlands till the end. of time." Another said, "His death seems more than the passing of a valued and valuable friend ; it seems also the passing of an era." SMITH FAMILY FROM FOUR STATES ATTEND REUNION Mr. and Mrs. O. B.

When is the best time to seed winter legumes and small grains as temporary pastures for winter and spring grazing? . A. The sooner these . temporary grazing crops are seeded after September 10" the better, except in the extreme Eastern section of the state, where seeding may be de layed 10 days, especially if rye is to be used. However, they may be seeded any time during September and during the early part of Oc tober. John A. Arey, extension dairy specialist of State college, recommends Italian rye grass and crimson clover for these temporary pastures. Q. When should hay crops be cut? A. Agronomists of N. C. State colege say .that most of the hay made in North Carolina is too nearly mature when harvested. They recommend that soybeans be cut for hay as soon as the pods begin to form;' that cowpeas be cut when the pods are half grown ; and that lespedeza be cut when in early bloom, or when 12 inches high, whichever occurs first. There is an idea prevalent among farm ers that good hay must contain lots of "grain." When the farmer waits for the grain to develop. they usually lose more nutrients from the stems and leaves than they gain from the seeds.

OUR DEFENSE (Series Prepared by the National Defense Advisory Commission) Our Defense Program and Advisory Commission The President, as Commander in-Chief of the Army and Navy, has requested approximately (XX);(XX),000 to build up our Army and Navy. The Congress was asked to permit increasing the 'strength of our, Army' to. 1,200,01)0 and to provide means for obtaining equip ment sufficient to outfit an addi tional 800,000 men who 'might- be called ' to the colors, '. At the present moment , we have a force of 500,000 men made up of the regular Army, the National Guard, and the Organized Reserves: Under the terms of the new de fense program, we will have to provide men and materials to in crease our armed torces lourioltl. And we have to do it in a hurry. Now that's no .simple problem, A modern army needs everything from safety pins to locomotives. It needs guns and, ammunition to be sure, and those guns and ammuni tion must be of the most modern type, to 'be effective. l.o put a modern army in the field calls for clothes, food, and medical supplies. It also calls for a means of get ting to the battle, and means of supply when it gets there. Modern war is total war. We must be fully prepared. The Job Ahead Accomplishing this task in the face of an emergency requires co ordination of our resources of men and materials, and above all coor dination of our huge . industrial plant that is , the backbone of the nation in peace as well as in war. Many of the .supplies we are going to need are turned out every day by the nation's industries. These can be procured by the Govern ment through normal channels of industry. But many others are spe cial equipment needed only for de fense. These must be especially built for us, some in new plants. In making these special instru ments, we must minimize interfer ence with normal requirements of the nation. But we have to have them just the same. To see that this operation goes ahead fast and efficiently, the President appointed the National Defense Advisory Commission, on May 28, 1940. This Commission is composed of men who are ' par ticularly qualified by special knowl edge of an industry, public utility, of some natural resource, or are otherwise specially qualified. The Commission's task is to translate the defense program from laws on the statute books, from a blueprint, into actual supplies needed by the men under arms. Their problem rests upon three vital questions. What do we need? . Where is it? How do we get it? It perhaps is the greatest unified effort ever undertaken by the American people. It has already started. What We Need The outlines of. the' job under way are already clear. On May lbyt the President -asked Congress to provide $1,182,000,000 for defense. On May 31, he again sent a mes sage declaring that the incredible events abroad, during the latter part of May, necessitated another $1,277,741,170 to speed up prepara tion for our military and naval needs. On July 10, due to further dra.s tic changes in the world situ ation, and because of the united will of the American people to de fend themselves against all ene mies, foreign and domestic, the President asked for further appro priation of $4,848,171,957 for nation al defense. This would provide for. Equipping a navy to meet any possible combination of hostile forces. , Total equipment for a land force of 1,200.000. Reserve stocks of tanks, guns, and artillery ammunition for an additional 800,000 men: An additional 15,000 planes . for the Army and 4,000 for the Navy. Manufacturing facilities' public1 and private to produce essential equipment Vequired for our forces. As fast as the men are ready, the materials must be ready. Advisory Commission The task of the National De fense Advisory Commission is to see that the Army and Navy get what they need, when they need it, with no ifs, ands, or buts. The responsibility of the Nation al Defense Advisory Commission is to find out what the Army and Navy need, know where to get it and see that it is delivered. The Commission draws no specifications, signs no contracts. It merely ad vises, aids in negotiations, and facilitates production. In ordinary times the Army and Navy have no difficulty in obtain ing supplies. Times of emergency call for extraordinary expansion. That's when we need experts, men who know the complicated machin ery of buying, moving, and manu facturing on a huge scale. In nor mal times they head the great corporations that supply the nation. In an emergency they sent the nation directly. The raw materials mutt come from farms, forests, and mines. Chemicals in vast quantities must be produced. Important critical materials, must he stored in ad vance. Im and rubber .arc already being accumulated m .stock piles. Synthetic rubber shows . great promise for' the future. All our own raw materiaJs. are-being cata logued. Availability of manufacturing fa cilities niitst be checked against transportation limitations and a'vail ibility of manpower. If-we call nn our '-military forces for protection, we camvt and must not expect them to go out without equipment. To see that this job js done is the responsibility .of all of us. . ' - , - - , . To help guide this work, the President called on the nation's leaders in seven fields, whose spe cial knowledge the nation needs. They are serving now without-pay. Most of their expert assistants al so serve without pay. Others have been borrowed, with clerical staff from Government agencies. Raw Materials The primary task is to insure a continuous supply of raw materials for our factories. This: responsi bility is assigned to the Industrial Materials Division under Edward K. Stettinius, Jr. He has resigned as Chairman of the Board of the United States Steel Corporation, to serve for nothing a year. He is in for the duration. Backed by an imposing array- of experts, Mr. Stettiniu.s '.'will get everything from steel for armor plate, to cotton. cloth for handkerchiefs. He has helped secure strategic and critical raw materials. He has helped ob tain supplies of 100 Octane gaso line. He has asked for the expan sion of the Tennessee Valley Au thority's power producing facilities to insure adequate electric energy for aluminum production vital to the aircraft program. When it comes to m.aking things for the Army and Navy airplanes, tanks, machine, guns, uniforms, miles of shoe laces in fact all the supplies needed, a Production Divi sion is functioning under William S. Knudsen, on leave from his reg ular job as President of General Motors. - Production Division The division of responsibility be tween Mr. Stettinius and Mr. Knudsen was described by Mr. Knudsen like this : "Ed", he said, "will bring in the stuff. Everything U raw material until I start to cut it up." Transportation Division Watching the transportation lines to see that there are no snarls that will cut off vital sup plies of raw materials is the task of Mr., Ralph Budd, President of the Chicago, Burlington and Quin- cy Railroad. In addition to seeing that Mr. Stettinius' raw materials move to Mr. Knudsen's plants, the Division of Transportation is work Lnig on acquiring special rolling DANCE "Mountaineer's Grand Ball" Tiny Bradshaw and his Orchestra (King of the Jitterbugs) DIRECT FROM NEW YORK CITY AND PERFORMANCES AT THE "COTTON CLUB", "SAVOY BALL ROOM- AND "LOWE'S STATE THEATRE" ALSO THE "TRIANON BALLROOMS" OF CHICAGO, DETROIT.

' Labor Division To see that the Raw .Materials Division's forests, mines; and fields, and the Production Division's fac tories have a Mipply ui manpower, Sidney Hillman, President of the Amalgamated Clothing , Workers Union, heads the Division of Labor Supply. A training program in the vocational schools litis already en rolled thousands, particularly those who feel the need for new train- . ing to retrieve their earlier skills. This divii'iii has' also organized a Labor Advisory Hoard consisting of representatives' of the'' A. F. oi . L. and the C. J. O., together with the Railroad p.rotherhoods. The Di vision has already been helpful in averting'. several' serious production stoppages. . ' . ' : Agricultural Division .The.1 Agricultural Division, under Mr. Chester Davis, of the Federal Reserve Board, is at work on the problem of plant locution for de fense purj)oses. Surplus, labor, par ticularly in agricultural areas will be utilized. One of the main funr ctions is to prevent shortages and utilize farm surpluses. Division Of Price Stabilization ' . This problem of price stabiliza tion is a mighty complex subject. To handle this, Leon Henderson of the Securities and Exchange Commission, has organized a div ision to determine the effects of the defense program oh the na tion's price structure. Division Of Consumer Protection Aside from protecting' the public against unjustified increases in the articles we need for daily existence, the Division of Consumer Protec tion, under Miss Harriet Elliott, Dean of Women in the University of North Carolina, has laid the groundwork to prepare us physi cally for our defense responsibili ties. The Division will emphasize , the importance of health and pub lic welfare in the defense program. This involves action with civic organizations to mobilize human resources into constructive chan nels ; meetings with retailers, or ganized consumer groups, manu facturers of consumers' goods and wholesalers. A major effort is directed toward preventing .unjus tifiable increases in the prices we pay ; increases in living costs that would handicap our efforts to pre pare ourselves prysically for . in- : stance, for such responsibilities as we might face in an emergency.. Along with these Commission members, many other leaders art serving in special capacities, help ing witli particular problems. Bryant Furniture Co.
