Jeremiah 6:19. ? ? * Men only seem to be free to br.ejak God's laws. Actually we go up against rhero, and they break us. The laws which help us When we obey thejn^are the same laws that hurt us when w.e disobey iliem. The wstr is <mJy what we should expect when millions of men knowing better, have 'disobeyed God's laws. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked : for wlnatsoever a man sowcth, that sliall healso reap." li the basic la?w of life is to love God and our neighbor, and we have disobeys! it wholesale, is this war so surprising ? . $2.(10 $1.00 , .60 .05 Farm Labor Movement THE United States Department of Agriculture re- ? ports that 108 families moved from small farms in Western North Carolina during the month of January to larger family-type farms in the eastern part of the state, which will increase their cultivated acres approximately five-fold. For the following interesting statement concern ing this shifting of population within the state to better the economic opportunity of those moving, we are indebted to Albert L. Ramsey, county Rural Rehabilitation supervisor and Carl S. Slagle, assis tant supervisor, who represent the Farm Security Administration in this county. "On their new farms, these families who have answered their Country's call for increased food production . will cultivate 5,000 acres in their new locations as compared with approximately 1,000 acres where .they farmed last year", said Howard H. Gordon of Raleigh, Regional Director for the Fain Security Administration. These families were among the first to volunteer in this state when the program for fuller utilization of farm labor was started through Farm Security Administration Supervisors some six weeks ago. following directives of the War Manpower Com mission and the Secretary of Agriculture. Thirty-three additional farmers, recruited by the U. S. Employment Service and Farm Security Sup ervisors are now taking a practical training course in dairy farming at State College. The Division of Vocational Education and the College provide the instruction. At the end of their three-weeks' train ing period, they will be available for year-round employment on dairy farms of the state. Prior to the war emergency there were more farm families in some areas than there was produc tive land to tend. Many families were on farms too small for fullest use of their labor. Under war con ditions some of these under-employed families are being encouraged and assisted in relocating on lar ger or more productive farms, where they will be employed and can contribute the maximum to the Nation's food supply. The farms they leave behind become available to neighbor farmers who need need more land for consolidation into larger farms and pasture. The 108 families, mostly former tenants and sharecroppers, moved to Roanoke Farms in Halifax County, Scuppernong Farms in Washington and Tyrrell Counties, and Penderlea Farms in Pender County. The families came from Avery, McDowell, Macon, Wilkes, Jackson, Polk, Haywood, Transyl vania, Yancy, Ashe, Buncombe, Watauga, Madison, and Alexander Counties. The families moved in groups by bus and their belongings were shipped by rail and trucks. "The ready response of these families indicates that farmers are willing to move when they are assured of a chance to better themselves and to contribute more fully to the prosecution of the war. Farmers not fully employed and desiring to move and landowners in need of tenants and year-round labor for essential war crops should list their needs .with the nearest Farm Security County Supervisor. Good Discipline THHE people of the United States will take point * rationing in their stride, just as they have acj* cepted selective service and other necessary discip line which a tree country imposes upon itself. We are all in this war together, and those who heard Director of Stabilization , James F. Byrnes, on Tuesday night, realize that we are in it deep. He announced that the United Nations would in vade the continent of Europe in 1943, at great sac rifice of the lives of our men. This should give pause to the most greedy and selfish who may be inclined to try to get more than their share of any kind of food by hoarding. Mr. Byrnes plainly warned that hoarders were stealing from their neighbors. ^The rank and file will ffladly and wholeheartedly ?1 cooperate, remembering that perhaps their own will suffer and die on foreign soil in order that they and their neighbors may continue to enjoy the light of day in a land of freedom and plenty. Point rationing will be good discipline for &11. THE POCKET BOOK of KNOWLEDGE ^ The siycERiNt produced AS A By- PRODUCT in MAKING "TEH POUNDS OF SOAP IS THE AMOUNT REQUIRED TOR.

FD-BS Health Dep't Makes Official Report On Food Dispensers The Maoon County Health De_ partincnt is guided in inspecting and rating public food handling places by rules and regulations made by the North Carolina State Board of Health. These rules and regulations re quire a reasonably good structure for housing a public eating place which is required to have tight floor construction, smooth walls and ceiling with sufficient openings for light and ventilation which are re quired fo be screened during fly season. Adequate toilet facilities are required for sex amd color, a safe water supply with either in dividual drinking cups or sterile glasses. Lavatory facilities are rel quired for the use of the help and patrons and dishes and uten sils are required to be kept in good condition, properly sterilized usage, and stored in a manner to prevent recontamination. Good and adequate refrigeration is required for the preservation of foods. All employees are required to have health certificates showing freedom fnom communicable diseases and the premises are .required to he kept in a reasonably clean condi tion. In recent years the federal gov. eminent has been taking a great interest in the provision of lun ches in schools. The majority of school buildings were not designed for the .inclusion of a cafeteria, which makes it difficult to secure the proper arrangement. It is found that the management of the school lunch rooms upon a whole are good and that the school lunch rooms are in excellent condition ?ItboofH they are generally bmd icappved by the lack of facilities for carrying out the sanitary rules applicable to public eating places. It should be explained that there are only three eating places in this entire district embracing the counties of Haywood, Jackson, Swain, Macon, Transylvania and Cherokee Reservation, which -ea? meet Grade A standards, owing to the necessity *1far expensive .equip, ment which the average eating place cannot afford, and mow is unobtainable, Grade 15 is a good rating. Tihe Health 1 >epartnu,nt mak^s regular inspections of all public food handling and lodging places a*ul is required to publish the grades given each place semi-an nually. A recent inspection of the food liandling and Uxlging- places in Macon Conn t y gives the fol lowing grades : Cafe Grades Arnold's, Bryson Hotel, Cagle's, Dixie Grill; Harry's, Highlands; The Tavern, Refreshment Sliop,.
