This Week With Macon County Agents By Mrs. Florence S. Sherrill Mrs. Helen Kitrell, librarian I at Fontana Regional library, re- ! quested that the book, "Strange J Lands and Friendly People", be reviewed in all the home dem onstration clubs. Mrs. Ralph I West, education leader of the | Cowee club, is given the agents' column this week for her book report. " 'Strange Lands and Friend- j ly People' was written by Wil- i liam J. Douglas, who has been 1 a Justice of the Supreme Court of the U. S. since 1930. "Realizing some of the facts which the American people must J face ^n dealing with the people ? of the East and Middle East, the supreme court justice was determined to become better { acquainted with these people. ; In the summers of 1949 and 1950, Mr. Douglas traveled' and lived among the tribesmen of Persia (Iran), the peasants of Syria and Lebanon, and the leaders and plain people of Israel. He also visited Iraq, Jordan, Greece, Cyprus, and New India. He hunted, ate, and lived in the homes of men of high rank as well as ones of j poverty. ?TirUU ? vvii/ii a uccp uuuciataiiuing 1 of religious economics and na tional facts, Justice Douglas pictures the people to the south of the Soviet empire. He shows how the United States is losing by default to Soviet propa ganda. Mr. Douglas believes the people are caught between the opposing, but almost equally, black shadows of reactionary landlordism and communism. They are without exception, res tive, dangerous people with a legitimate anger. In their be wilderment, Mr. Douglas sees these people demanding the at tention of the American people and they will not be denied. "Democracy, as Americans know it, will take generations to develop in Asia. Mr. Douglas tells his reader that the Amer ican way has not been perfect ed, that democracy cannot be imposed from without or from above, but must come from with in as a result of education and ex perience. In their struggle the people of Asia want the good things of life, but they also want freedom and justice. Com munism does not offer the standard of life that the west ern world knows, Mr. Douglas reminds his reader. He states, 'Freedom, and justice are indeed our mission in life. If we forget that we will never receive the verdict of civilization'." THE CHRYSLER IMPERIAL 6-PASSENGER SEDAN i 1 YOU'LL FIND IT EVEN BETTER THAN YOU'VE HEARD!.. It's been many years since a new car has caused as much talk as today's Chrysler Imperial has.

May we invite you to drive and test the best and most worth-owning engine on the road today? (Chrysler's magnificent new 180 H.P. FirePower V-8.) May we invite you to handle the easiest and safest steering wheel in exist ence at the moment? (Chrysler's full time Power Steering.)

May we invite you to sit on the most comfortable seat cushions, and enjoy the fullest window vision you can find? May we invite you to ride on the rough-road miracle of the Oriflow shock absorbers which only Chrysler-built cars have?

We . . . and Imperial by Chrysler . . . are at your service, any time. CHRYSLER THE FINEST CAR AMERICA HAS YET PRODUCED J. C. SORRELLS MOTOR COMPANY Phone 281 East Main Street . Franklin, N. C. acon Sports Rounds By J. V. BKAUY Catch that rhythm? the hum ming of reels, the off-key "plop" / Df plugs, and the zing-zing of clobbered golf balls ? its music, friends, music. And when its blended with a certain combi nation of versatile exponents It's the Macon sports world sym phony for the week. So, pull up a stump and re lax while the old maestro con ducts a couple of numbers. Nantahala lake Is coughing up bass like Washington is mink coats and a number of local anglers registered some good catches over there this past week. Not to be outdone, the ladies too, have taken to rod and reelin'. Mrs. J. R. Ray gave some liz ards swimming lessons over on Nantahala lake and in .return was rewarded with three bass that pushed the little red need le on the scale around to the four pound mark. From rudder to bow, one was 21 inches, one 16 inches, and the third 12 inches. And speaking of a "muskie"! A 20 and a half pounder was hauled out of the little Tennes see river Sunday by Bobby Hol brook. This monster, believed to be the largest one caught around here this year, was 42 inches long. Zeb Angel bought it and has it on ice if anyone wants to see it. That is the kind of fishing we like to hear about. So, when you haul in a breath-taker, how's for dropping by The Press office and pounding our ear with the story of how the fish was caught, where, and what kind of bait was used. ? ? * A common, but not too serious spring illness is sweeping the area in and around Franklin. Some folks call it Golf Fever, and its symptoms are many. Pity the poor wife who has to listen day in and day out to the constant grumblings of the lowly golfer who had the mis fortune to flub (a perfectly ac ceptable word meaning to mess up) a shot and turn a beauti ful, gleaming white golf ball into a smiling, toothless, hunk of rubber. With the inflation ary price of golf balls, clubber ing a new golf ball with the sharp side of a club is like torching your cigarettes with dollar bills. Pity the poor spouse who has to keep warming her golfer husband's supper over every night waiting for darkness to drive him home for nourish ment. And pity the poor better half who, after keeping supper warm for three hours, must i listen to her haranguing "tee tapper" beef about his steak (did we say steak? i tasting like a pair of last year's hunting boots. But envy the wife who faces a husband who has just broken 1 a hundred on the local links, has lost or cut no golf balls, and among other things, has separated some of the boys from negotiable currency. Never, mind you, never will you find a kinder, wittier, more under- ' standing, attentive, and brilli- < ant individual in the world. This character, fairly wolfs a piece of meat, that the day be fore would have tasted like a "World War II combat boot", and his wife's "dishwater" cof fee has the taste and aroma of champagne. That, my friends, is this game , called golf. We speak from ex-j perience. While we're lauding the links, \ we'd better take the time and remind you sometime golfers j that the Jaycees here are plan ning to stage a golf tourney j about the middle of the sum mer with loving cups and plenty of prizes. With this advance no tice, you'll have plenty of time to bid your wife or girl friend good bye for the season and retire to the lofcal nine for a ; little practice. Don't say you weren't warned. Just turn out and let's make this tourney an j annual event. Did anyone play Ben Hogan Saturday, and if you did, did ] you beat him? We wrap this deal up this week with a golf story related by George R. (Putterlessi Mc Sween, who won the golf tour- | ney here last year. Seems that a duffer, and we strongly suspect that it was "Putterless" himself, became so rotten in his golf game that the only time he was on the fair way was to cross over in the rough to look for his ball. Then one day this club dub ber suddenly caught fire and began touring the course with sub-par scores. Amazed, his friends clamored about trying to find out what was behind this miraculous bit of golfing from a gent who previously had to take three shots to get his ball out of his golf bag. "Simple," explained the duf fer, "Up to now I just haven't had my heart in it. "I have now tho'," he said, pointing to his golf ball. A picture of his mother-in law was painted on it! For success in canning low in-acid vegetables and meats, you need to have your pressure canner in good working order. Two important points to check before each canning session are : First, test the canner to see j that no steam, or very little, leaks out where cover and ket- | tie join. If too much leaks out, | you may not be able to main- I tain the pressure needed and | the canner may boil dry and be ruined. Second, check the dial face gauge to find out if it accurately registers the pressure inside the canner. If the gauge is five pounds or more off, you need a new one. To prevent food spoilage, not only must jars be sealed air tight but in addition the whole canning process must be con ducted under the most sanitary conditions. Cleanliness is abso lutely essential. All jars and their tops should be washed in hot, soapy water, rinsed with j hdt water, and turned upside j down on a clean towel or kept ' in hot water until it is time to j fill them. Care must be taken to avoid scalds and burns when canning. Handle hot jars with dry towels; use holders when hand ling hot kettles; avoid spilling or splashing hot water, hot food, and hot liquids in gener al; turn handles of cooking utensils away from the edges of the stove so that persons passing by will not strike them; don't reach over steaming ket tles. When using the water-bath method, be sure to lower the j jars very carefully into the boiling water to avoid breakage. Be equally careful when lift ing the trayholder out of the bath to avoid spattering and r splashing hot water and being i c burned. j j The Albritton strawberry va- ' riety, developed by the U. S. I Department of Agriculture and . the North Carolina Experiment station and released to growers In December, 1951, showed up well In ita performance this season, according to hortlcul- i tural specialists at State college. ] ' Demonstration Club Meetings For Week Are Announced Meetings of home demonstra tion clubs in the county for the coming week have been an nounced by Mrs. Florence S.

Fire blight is a bacterial ? disease that often appears sud- ' denly on shoots and blooms of apple and pear trees soon after bloom. It blights blooms, spurs, and twigs, results in cankers on branches and trunks, reduces set of fruit, and kills spurs, branches, and even trees. It is very widespread and severe in North Carolina this year. A simple, practical, and fully effective control measure for fire blight has not been de veloped. Once the infection starts, there is no way to con trol it. On a long-term basis, however, the following practices will aid in control: Eliminate hold-over cankers. Cut off branches with cankers during winter, and rub off all water-sprouts during spring and summer. Use best orchard practices to I teep trees from being over stimulated to too rapid and vigorous growth, particularly luring and just after the bloom period. Avoid planting varieties of pears and apples that are ex :remely susceptible to fire slight. Remove scattered bloom clust ;rs on young trees before they jpen. If seen early in their develop ment. break off blighted shoots six to eight inches below any sign of discoloration of the Dark. Blossom blight infection ha? been reported to be reduce< considerably by an annual prac ;ice of spraying during bloom with a weak Bordeaux mixture, J-4-100 i made with two pounds copper sulfate and four pounds nydrated lime in 100 gallons rater i. Perfect control of blight ihould not be expected from aloom spraying because it is impossible to cover with the spray all the parts of the olooms and shoots that develop luring rainy periods when olight infection can take place. The rabbiteye type of blue berries recommended for home use. mice costs the poultry industry many thousands of dollars each year. MACON POST 108 AMERICAN LEGION MEETS First Thursday ?
