BIBLE THOUGHT
lieajr, O earth: behold, 1 will bring evil upon this people, even,
live fruit of theif thoughts, because tiiey have not h&rkened unto
my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. ? 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 ?

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.

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

grades given each place semi-an

lowing grades :

To All Draft Dodger*
I'm writing this short 'letter,
And every word is true.
I >on't turn a. way, draft dodgers,
For it's addressed to you.
You feel at ease and in no
danger
Hack in the old hrwne town,
You cooked up some pitiful story
So the draft board would turn
you down. ,
You never think of the r>-al
men,
WcKb leave there day by day.
You just think of the girl friend
You'll gel while they're away.
, You sit at liome and read y?iur
paper, ' ?
Jump up and "Well, sure we'll
win !"
Just where do you 'get that "we
stuff?"
This war will be won by men.
Just what do you think, draft
dodger,
Tl?at this free nation would do.
If all the men were slackers
And afraid to fight, like you ?
