Inflation Can Bring
Disaster To Farmer*
Inflation, or a runaway price
situation in these postwar days
because of an unprecedented
demand for civilian goods and
services, can easily spell dis
aster for many farmers and
their families as they struggle
with reconversk>n problems that
come after the war.
Farm management specialists
of the Extension Service at
State College point to the dan
gers of inflation as outlined by
postwar policy committee of the
Association of Land-Orant Col
leges and Universities In a re
cent release.
The committee declared, "Any
decided rise in prices and wage
rates during this period will
greatly add to farm costs. . . .
When war demands taper off,
shortages of farm products are
likely to be replaced by sur
pluses. If prices are allowed to
get out of hand 'now, farm
prices may nose -dive while
many items of farm expenses
stay up."
Many farmers still remember
what happened after World
War I when farm land prices
soared. Savings of a lifetime
may be tost if price controls
are lifted before dangers of a
speculative boom are past. Not
only farmers but also return
ing war veterans may be the
victims of exhorbitant land
prices.
"As rapidly as the war ef
fort permits, the threat of In
flation should be tempered by
speedy expansion and resump
tion of production to meet
civilian needs," the committee
said, "But controls are needed
until supplies again are ade
quate to meet requirements at
reasonable prices. Additional
controls, particularly to limit
and discourage land speculation,
are in order."
Two Receipei Given
For Making Soap
Making soap at home is be
coming a necessity in these soap
shortage days. Extension spe
cialists in home economics at
State College present two stan
dard recipes for uncooked soap.
Six pounds of fat with 2J4
pints of cold water, and 1 can
of Jye will make about 9 pounds
of soap. Six pounds of fat is
equal, to 13^5 standard measur
ing cups of liquid fat.
Pour water into a small
enamel, stone, or glass contain
er. Dissolve the lye in the
water, stirring with a wooden
spoon or paddle until dissolved.
Mix in a well ventilated room
but not In a breeze. Let the lye
water cool until the container
feels cool to the hand. Melt the
fat in an enameled pan and
stir with an enameled spoon
or a wooden paddle. Cool the
fat to the correct temperature
throughout the pan.
Cool the fat until the spoon
begins to leave a track In the
mixture. Pour the lye solution
into the fat in a small, steady

Dear Readers: So many little
changes have been, and are be
ing made In this section I hes
itate to begin to tell you lest
I leave out some vitally Impor
tant one. So will you Inform
me if I have omitted something
worthwhile.
Often overhead you see a
plane diving earthward, or ris
ing again. Tls Elbert Hedden
flying. He comes so low you
wonder if he is Inspecting the
sanitary condition of your back
yard. He and Mrs. Hedden and
two small daughters live in a
nice new home which has been
constructed near the site of his
father, John Hedden's old home.
This house is not only well fin
ished and furnished inside and
painted on the out, but has a
kitchen sink and running water.
Near the house is a good saw
mill. With the aid of two
trucks and cooperative workmen
Elbert has been able to deliver
ties, logs, and many cords of
acid and pulp wood during the
present emergency.
Quince Hedden and workmen
with one truck have done a
splendid Job of getting out acid
wood. Ed Crisp and Ous Hed
den have also labored in this
work In the Walnut Creek sec
tion. I know not the report to
give of the important work
done by the Champion Fiber
company on Buck Creek.
Terry Bollck of Buck Creek
has driven a bulldozer making
roads to the top of the moun
tain above Tom Fore, also on
W. A. Keener and Ben Hedden
place and up to the Burgin
Moses Place, and elsewhere has
he been building roads for the
truckers to haul over. He works
for the Champion Fiber com
pany.
"Aunt" Ann Jones is about as
usual ? sailing a king In her
nineties.
George W. Gregory, who has
spent sometime in the Baptist
Hospital at Winston-Salem and
also at the Angel Hospital at
Franklin, is critically ill.
Mrs. Luna Jefferies has re
turned to her home In Tennes

Mrs. Gertrude Strain and Miss
Molly Trentham at Mrs. Strain's
summer home on Walnut Creek.
stream, stirring slowly In one
direction. Continue stirring un
til the mixture is a honey-like
texture. Let it stand for 10 to
IS minutes until the mixture
beoomes thick like salad dress
ing and then pour into molds
or wooden boxes, lined with
waxed paper. After 24 hours it
is ready to cut. Cure soap for
several weeks before using and
never let it freeze.
The- formula for cooked soap
is 2 quarts of melted fat, 1 can
of lye, 1 cup of liquid ammonia,
1 quart of water, and 1 table
spoonful of borax dissolved in
one-half cup of hot water. Dis
solve the lye In water and let
stand until lukewarm. Add
slowly to the fat, stirring con
stantly until jelly like. Cook
slowly. Add borax water and
mix thoroughly. Remove from
fire, add ammonia, and stir un
til about the consistency of
honey. Pour into molds and
cure for 6 weeks.

N. C. Firms And Workers Aid
In Atomic Bomb Production
Several North Carolina firms,
at least four or five, have been
and are still engaged in mak
ing component parts or supplies
and materials used in the por
ductlon of the atomic bomta,
some of which have spread hav
oc in parts of Japan, it is re
vealed by Dr. J. S. Dorton, state
director of the War Manpower
Commission.
Dr. Dorton admits that he
knows very little about what
was being produced in this
State for use in connection with
these bombs, since their pro
duction has been one of the
greatest secrets of this war, but
he does know that some North
Carolina firms, as a part of the
so-called Manhattan District
secret project, have been so
engaged. Due to the veil of
secrecy little is known about
this work and Dr. Dorton is not
sure he is at liberty to reveal
what he does know, at this
time.
He has revealed that 6,208
North Carolina workers have
been recruited by WMC's Unit
ed States Employment Service
offices for the Oak Ridge pro
ject in, Tennessee, 792 as con
struction workers in building
the plants and 5,416 in making
some parts of the bombs, in
1943 and 1944. Most of them
Mrs. F. E. Mashburn and son
Samuel have returned ' Irom
Marietta, Georgia, where they
were visiting Mrs. Edward and
Miss Annaiee Mashburn.
Kenneth Clark of Cullasaja
spent the weekend with his
friend "Richard Mashburn.
A number of our boys who
have seen duty on various bat
tle fronts have returned to this
township.
On August 12, a decoration
day was observed by the people
who have relatives and friends
buried at the Strain cemetery
and the Walnut Creek cemetery.
Basket dinner was served. Rev.
Frank Holland had charge of
the services in the morning and
afternoon.
On August 19 Mr. Hull of
Franklin conducted the Sunday
school at Walnut Creek. The
sweet music of the organ was
wafted through the verdent
trees on the gentle breeze call
ing people to worship and
praise the Great God, who has
so marvelously given us victory
over our foe. Let us follow the
teachings of the Savior, the
Prince of Peace.
Eugene Mclntyre, a Future
Farmer student under Mr. Whit
mire, of the Franklin high
school has . just marketed his
bean crop at Dillard, Ga.
John Fore recently brought
his seven children back to his
father and mother, Mr. ana
Mrs. Tom Fore, returning to the
State of Washington, where he
and Mrs. Fore plan to work for
some time before returning to
North Carolina.
Patrons of Walnut Creek and
Buck Creek schools will be in
terested in knowing that both
schools will be discontinued.
Pupils will be conveyed to
Gneiss by bus. Children up to
the eighth grade will go to Pine
Grove school. Other pupils will
transfer to another bus and be
taken to Franklin. This year
our Legislature passed a oom
pulsory school law which will
bring back into school children
who have not been attending
much, if any, for some time.
were from the western part of
the State. It is likely, he be
lieves, that many others went
into Tennessee for work on the
project.
Recruiting for this project has
been difficult, and the turn
over in workers large, due, ac
cording to reports, to the prac
tice of putting a man on one
job and keeping him there,
without change or promotion.,
on the theory that if he work
ed at more than one place he
would learn too much about the
secret weapon.
Work for the secret weapon
is done in some of the carbon
plants and machine tool plants
in North Carolina, and probab
ly in other plants, some of
which very likely did not know
they were contributing to the
production of the bombs, Dr.
Dorton said.
. North Carolina thus had im
portant connection with the
new destructive bombs, by sup
plying some of . the materials
used in their production, by
furnishing several thousands of
workers for plants actually
producing them and by furn
ishing the man, Major Thomas
W. Ferebee, of Mocksvilie, who
actually launched the first bomb
from a superfortress on its way
to the destruction of the city
of Hiroshima in Japan.
