Does Nantahala; owe nothing to the communities which it
has served and 'as a result of the confidence and support of
thes" communities has grown to its present size? Does it owe
nothing to Its loyal employes who have served it well and
who have their homes and families in the area.
A careful study of all of the pertinent factors indicates
that the public interest is best served by the Nantahala
Power and Light Company continuing to operate as it hxs in
the past. You are urged to make this, possible by refusing to
approve this proposed sale.

Disagrees With Editorial
i
F.d i TV. ? Frm!:iin Press:
Re erring to your September 2 editorial, "Any Good An- 1
swer-" i which questioned whether servicemen should receive
penisens for non-service connected disabilities > , let me briefly '!
give you my opinion on the subject
First, let me state thit I am a World War i Veteran and I
a charter member in my home town of the American Legion, !
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, The j
Cooties, and World War I Veterans Organization.
The bill to which you refer was discussed in my World War
I veterans meeting by the membership and state officers and i
all present were against its passage by Congress. Why were |
we against this bill? Because it will decrease the amount of
pension World War 1 veterans will receive at the age of 65. It
being based on your income from all sources, if you are a
single person drawing full Social Security, your V. A. pension
will te very small.
There are very few World War I veterans who do not have
some kind of pension ? social security, civil service, or other
types of income This, added to a veterans pension, permits
us bo exist on the bare necessities of life and maybe enjoy
a few of the things we like. Our desires are not what they
were in our younger days ? so why deprive a man who has
served his country to the best of his ability of the meager
amount this new bill provides?
The serviceman with a service connected disability receives j
a pension sufficient to live on and some, according to size of
family, receive as much as $400 per month, tax free, (this
applies only to veterans after World War I), as well as divi
dends on insurance. So why should you deprive a man of 65
who did as told in time of war and received an honorable
discharge of the meager pension of $78.75 or less? The only
increase in pension rate is to the man with less than $600
per year income; it will be less in most cases ? and always
remember groceries cost the same to all of us. This small
pension will keep the welfare rolls down ? and who wants to
see a veteran on welfare rolls?

HOUSEHOLD SAFETY PRAC

working methods and safe pro
cedures for using household equip
ment. It is well to keep these in
mind when you go about your
house work.
When you wash clothes, wear
rubber-soled shoes if floors are
damp when using electric laundry
equipment.
Know how to operate emergencj
releases on laundry equipment.
Test temperature of hot water
from faucets cautiously before
putting hands in it.
Make sure appliance cords do
not get damp under normal use.
Avoid carrying loads of clothes
so big you cannot see where you
are walking.

connecting or disconnecting elec- 1
trical laundry equipment or touch- j

heavy, objects on lower shelves.
Store equipment ana supplies as
close as possible to work area In
which they will be used to avoid
unnecessary carrying of heavy
articles. t '
Have sturdy stepladder or safe
stepstool handy for reaching high
places.
Close cupboard doors and draw
ers immediately after use.
Fasten shelves securely to walls.
Have shelves sufficiently strong
to hold stored material without
sagging or collapsing.
SUGGESTIONS FOR GOOD
GROOMING? Every woman wants
to be attractive. And why not?
A desire to be pleasing to others,
our family, our friends, even to
strangers is a perfectly worthy
ambition, one that needs no
apologies.
Attractiveness is not just one
specific quality. It is a summing
up of such characteristics as
health, manners, figure, posture,
clothes, make-up. hair, and above
all, basic cleanliness. A beautiful >
face with a sullen manner is not
permanently attractive, nor does
. the most gorgeous hair seem
glamorous if the eye must adjust
to a muddy complexion or sloven
ly dress. Poise, grooming, radiance
and attractiveness make for ap
preciated beauty.
Take a look at yourself in a
full length mirror. Are you dumpy,
shapeless; is your hair a mess;
your sweater soiled; your lipstick
smeared? Be honest with yourself.
I Note your good and weak points
I and start right in on a corrective
program.
Limit those between-meal snacks
'if you must have them) to fruit
; juice, milk, ices or sherbets and
small glasses of soft drinks. Diet
should be simple and well-bal
anced. Eat plenty of fruit, rough
ape foods, fre$h vegetables, meat
and milk. Avoid eating excessive
ly greasy foods and too ftiany
sweets, such as chocolate and soft
drinks.
Farm Questions
i
Q. What are the advantages of
polled dorset sheep over other
breeds?
A. The new strain of polled
dorsets has received a lot of at
tention lately. Actually, the fact
that they are polled, while their
ancestors had horns, is what
makes them more useful and easy
to handle. Horns make shearing
more difficult, sometimes grow
into the head, and frequently get
caught in woven wire fences and
farm equipment. And polled
animals require less feed bunk
space and are not subject to in
festation by the horn worm.
Q. How much, of the beef con
sumed in North Carolina is pro
duced in this state?
A. Home slaughtered beef
amounted to about 2 per cent of
the consumption in the state in
1958, or roughly 6 million pounds.
I Of the estimated 282 million
pounds of beef purchased through
retail outlets in North Carolina
last year only about a fifth came
Irom cattle produced and slaught
ered in this state.
Q. Just where does North Caro
lina stand as a beef-producing
state?
A. Although cattle production
has increased considerably in
North Carolina in recent years,
the state still remains a relatively
minor producer of cattle. In 1958
cattle and calf production amount
ed to about 125 million pounds.
one-half of 1 per cent of the total
U.S. production.
q. will milk control tobacco
mosaic?
A. Yes. apparently. Agricultural
research in North Carolina in
1958 and 1959 has shown that when
sprayed on tobacco plants before
transplanting, milk greatly reduces
the seriousness of tobacco mosaic
disease. Even better results are
obtained when workers dip their
hands in milk before handling
the transplants.

It's a pleasure to find ample parking places with

parking costs.
The savings in time, money, gasoline, and in un
necessary aggravation, are easy to take. Add these
weekly savings and you'll have enough for a vaca
