With malice toward none, with parity for lhc right a, God gives us to see the right, let us stnve on to.fun the work we are in " . ' ; Scrap Enthusiasm IF the grown-ups of the county have needed any I spur or inspiration to increase their e fort, to bring in the scrap, they have received it from the innpany with the school children all over the United States, our children have shown un Unnfr perseverance and ingenuity in hunting out, local ing and bringing in an amazing tonnage. Repor s from schools all over the county are full o Mivcl tales of excursions in the woods and out-of-the-way . places to trace down old metal in every shape and Thev have found sufficient zest in the thrill of reward. No prizes have been offered and no con tests sponsored. But the scrap is prize enough. From the efforts expended and the results, it is evi dent that no other incentive was needed. The President Speak IN his clear, straightforward style President 1 Roosevelt talked to the nation and the ; world I on Monday night. He expressed his belief that it will be necessary to lower the present minimum age limit for selective service from 21 ears to 18 He said that the school authorities in all the states should "Work out plans to enable high school stu dents to take some time from their school year, and to use their summer vacation, to help farmers raise and harvest their crops, or to work in the war industries. The President stated positively that we are get ting ahead of our enemies in the battfei of trans portation and production. He reviewed, the wr from many angles and promised that major de cisions of strategy have been made. He closed with these, words: . . , , "We are united in seeking the kind of victory that our grandchildren can grow and, under God, may live their lives, free from the constant threat of invasion, destruction, slavery and violent death. I A Great Loss T seemed a tragic irony of fate that while Fire Prpvpntintl Week was appealing for greater care against fire, one of our most needed buildings was destroyed because of lack of any water supply. The Frazier Community center, built by NYA and sponsored by the Negroes of the county at great sacrifice, was burned down to the stone foundations while the people and the fire department stood by, unable to do anything. The building was used not only for community gatherings but to supplement inadequate school facilities. No doubt this tragedy will serve to em phasize the fact that a well and tank would have been cheaper than the loss of a building. It is hoped that a way may be found to rebuild on the same foundation with the help of the insurance on the building; and the colored children may be pro vided with pure water for drinking purposes and the school with fire protection. Clay County Newt i XE are glad to welcome among our exchanges, get The Clay County News in new form. The Griebeer nas recently been purchased by our friend The l 'neighbor, L. P. Cross, editor of The Clayton ee y,a.) Tribune, who has-been printing the paper his shop for some months. From the appearance 11 of the first copies, the people of Clay will now be ' ferved by a first class weekly county newspaper. BEHIND THE GUN . 1 Press Comment A REMARKABLE RECORD Figures have just been released by the National Board of Fire Underwriters showing that the total estimated fire loss for the first eight months of this year was $211,172,000, as compared with $211,773,000 for the same period last year. When the vast industrial expan sion that "has taken place in this country in war industries during the past year is considered, in conjunctio,ri with the millions of inexperienced persons wl)o have gone to work in such industries at jobs with which they were un familiar a year ago, this record of a drop in fire losses for the past eight months is truly re markable. It speaks volumes for the fire prevention activities that have been carried on by civilian as well as official bodies. Also it indicates that our dreaded enemy, the saboteur, lias been well Pa trolled and that his fire depreda tions have been held to a minimum. The public deserves a large share of credit for cooperating in all manner of fire prevention activi ties. It is well to call attention to this drop in fire losses to let people know that their watchful ness has been effective during a critical period when billions of dollars worth of vital supplies have been subject to the i fire menace. This record should encourage every citizen to continue and in crease his efforts to prevent fire, for by so doing he is truly play ing a vital part in the war. Industrial Review. FELDSPAR A BY-PRODUCT IN MICA MINING Incident to the mining of mica is the recovery of feldspar. These two minerals seem to go hand in hand and thousands of tons have been brought out of mines and left on the dumps for the reason that the market was too far from the souite of supply, Bind trans portation costs prohibitive. This important mineral is being more and more in demand, and the large rlrrraits here iustifv the prophecy ( that in the very near future its P ...

The loss was enough to buy two flying fort resses a day. The millions of feet of timber destroyed by fire is needed for war-workers homes, Army barracks, snipyards, and other war uses. The' millions of hours of manpower it took to put out last year s torest and tarm woodland fires ure needed this year to produce food, tanks, planes and ships for victory. R. W. Graeber. INCREASING The ndrhber of farmers request ing phosphate in Clay county Is increasing rapidly, as. there seems to be a new realization of the value of this material on farm lands, says Assistant Farm Agent R. G. Vick. . EXCHANGE To avoid too much inbreeding in their sheep flocks, David How ard and John C. Hill, both of Deep Kims route 1, Lenoir coun ty, have exchanged their 4-H rams for a short while.

High School Fire Drill Is Pronounced Success Fire drill held at Franklin high school Tuesday has been, pronounc ed a big success by Mr. J. F. Pugh, the teachers, and members of the fire department who check pupils out of the building. The small school building was cleared in one and one-half min utes, and the large building in ore minute and fifty-five seconds. The entire drill was accomplished with such uniform precision that no student passed m front of an other. Mr. Pugh is to be highly com plemented on his effort to make the school fire drill a real safety measure for the children in case of fire. MACON FURNITURE COMPANY THAD PATTON Home Dairy Mixtures Essential This Year There are two fundamental rea sons why North Carolina farmers cknulil n simule home-produced dairy mixtures this year, accord ing to John. A. Arey, dairy ex tensior specialist of N. C State college. First, he says, a home-proaucea mixture is more economical be raiKip it carries fewer transporta tion and commission charges. Second, the use of such mixtures would save badly needed trans portation space for important war materials. The State college dairyman said tht- 1042 feed croo in North Caro lina will rank as one of the larg est in history. This will be true especially of high protein feeds such as soybean and peanut meal. Except vi certain areas, the corn crop w ill also be larger than usual. These feeds can be made the basic for many different simple grain mixtures, any of which will give good results when fed to gether with an ample supply of quality roughage. Arey suggests the following home mixtures: Eighteen percent protein and 4 percent fat: 400 pounds of corn and cob meal, 300 pounds of cottonseed meal, 200 pounds of oats, and 100 pounds of wheat bran. Nineteen percent protein and 4 percent fat: 500 pounds oi corn and cob meal, 100 pounds of pea nut meal, and 200 pounds of cot tonseed meal. Eighteen percent protein and 3.5 percent fat: 200 pounds of corn and cob meal, 100 pounds of soy bean meal, and 100 pounds of ground barley. Nineteen percent protein and 4 percent fat: 300 pounds of corn and cob meal, 200 pounds of ground barley, and 200 pounds of peanut meal. In these mixtures, barley can be substituted for corn on a pound for pound basis, and pea it. . ihf an and cottonseed meal are interchangeable pound for pound. Arey said.
