M ml j MH1 UU Strong Facts From a Fine Record inn m m l.- i sj ism .Mrs. Duncan Dougall. who died at her home in St. Augustine, Fla.', on March 5 was among the earlier settlers of Highlands. Her house hold consisted of Mis,s Carolyn Parker and Dr. Mary E. Lapham, renowned tuberculosis specialist; and several years later un adopted daughter, Miss Valerie Dougall. From the time of their arrival here in 1893 this family formed an integral part of the business, social and civic life of the town. Like a great many others, this .amily came to Western North Car olina seeking health; Airs. Dougall from Winsor, Canada; Miss Bark er and Dr. Lapliam from Flint, Mich. After staying i,n Asheville a short time they decided to come to Highlands. The trip was made on horseback and, with camping out on the way, took the greater part of a week. Their baggage was sent by hack. ;fhe Davis House, ixnv Trice- mont Terrace, was the home of this family for the first two years. having .been recommended to Dr. Lapham ,by a Detroit throat spe cialist as a very superior hotel. Another two years were spent in the rieacock house on Fifth street. During this time they purchased a home site on Satulah Mountain. Plans for the house, drawn, by themselves, were turned over to Marian Wright, builder, and the family went to Europe while the work was being done. "Faraway". the name chosen for their home here, has from completion been noted for its charming atmosphere, with Mrs. Dougall ever the grac ious hostess. Road conditions 'being bad in those days, it was only iby means of horseback that Dr. Lapham was able to care for her widely scat tered practice m addition to her sanatorium here. This being the case, and the fact that the family were all lover.s of horseback rid ing, the stables at "Faraway" held never less than four good saddle horses before the era of automo biles. Miss Barkers death seventeen years ago was the first in the fam ily. Dr. Lapham, who passed ora in January, 1936, was noted for her contributions to the treatment of tuberculosis, and was credited with introducing into this country the Swiss therapy of lungs. Surviving Mrs. Dougall are her daughter, Miss Valerie Dougall of Highlands and St. Augustine, and one brother, Howard Bloomer, of Detroit, Mich. Following funeral services in St. Augustine, with the Rev. Fdtz James Hindry officiating, the body was taken to Detroit for burial.

GREENSBORO N C. 5JK Insects In Home Garden Are 'Fifth Columnists' A Victory Gardero has been classed as an important weapon in winning the war, but J. O. Rowdl, Extension entomologist of State college warns home gardeners to beware of "Fifth Columnists." He says insects are ready to sabotage the efforts of North Carolina farm ers to produce "vegetables for vi tality, vengenance and victory." A pre-season garden elean-up will help reduce crop damage by insects, the entomologist said. "It is especially important in 1M2 due to a possible shortage of some in secticides," Rowell declared. Some types of msecN live ever winter in truck crop residue left on the land, in weeds, leaf litter, and under boards and trash piled on the groural. Others take refuge in ditches, waste places, and in and around shortage houses. It pays to plow under, feed or destroy the plant residue, and re move litter and trash from garden sites as soon after harvest as pos sible. But there still may be tinte to reduce insect populations by plowing as soon as soil conditions permit. Land not subject to ero sion may be plowed before winter weather is over to expose insect and insect eggs to freezing, and to bury alive those hibernating in weeds and plant residue." Continuing, Rowell said, "Garden sanitation is always a good prac tice, but it is more important than ever this year because of the in creased need for vegetable crops as "Victory Food.' The home gar dener also needs to see that spray ing and dusting equipment is in good shape Preparedness is vital to the war effort. Armies of in sects can do as much damage to gardens as hordes rf hom:'g nlanes can do to our cities and in dustrial plants." TIN Deliveries of tin car for home canning will not be affected by the recent curtailment order, since the Government hopes that an increase In home preservirez will relieve pressure on commercial owners.
