PATCH \erry Christmas .. \B£SrMSH£Sf wrm GRATITUDE FOR A YEAR OF GENEROUS PATRONAGE ALET D. C. JENSEN THE PILOT. Southern Pines, North Carolina It’s a long road from the newborn babe to a be-whiskered old gent sitting around telling his great grandchildren about how he fought the “injuns” who used to clutter up the woods, but long as it may be in point of years, it is paved throughout with paper and other pulpwood products processed from the trees surrounding this community. To begin with, today’s modern baby is born on ultra-sanitary obstetrical sheets; newsprint in the weekly or daily press is used to publish the facts of his birth; paper an nouncements may be sent out by his proud parents; paper checks and paper dollars may come as gifts to the modern infant, and ir many cases paper diapers are used until the child is old enough to use the ordinary kind. Paper is used in the baby’s birth certifi cate; it makes up a good portion of his infant * shoes and he may well have his childish tears dried on paper tissue. Off to school the child goes at five or six and in his kindergarten classes he learns to draw on paper, sees pictures in paper books and cuts out paper dolls and toys. Later, after the infant prodigy, has grown a little more, he learns to read from paper as well as to write on this universal commodity. His re port cards are paper, his diploma is paper, and all the knowledge crammed into his growing brain is saved up for him from one generation to the next in books of paper. A paper marriage license entitles the now grown-up young man to marry the girl of his dreams, and the ceremony is read from a paper Bible. Paper magazihes, newspapers ; and books keeps the young man abreast of current happenings and helps to keep him useful as a citi- zen. In his job, he discovers that virtually every phase of his business is dominated by paper jecords, paper blue prints or maga zine and newspaper advertising that stimu lates sales. The food he eats comes in paper packages. » He uses paper plates or drinking cups and I nnishek off his meal with a hasty pat of a ; paper napkin. In his home he may have in- j mlation made of pulpwood, paper wall- i boards, paper insulation in his refrigerator, and undoubtedly wallpaper to decorate his vails. His ties, shirts and even suits may be nade from rayon.or staple fiber textiles, both products of pulp-' wood. The va nilla cake his wife bakes isn’t flavored with va nilla at all but probably derives its exquisite fla-' _ vor from va-,_ lilan, another pulpwood product. And so it goes. The young man prospers,^ ;row8 older, and in the end he dies. Whenij ieath finally overtakes him, a newspaper carries his obituary, while his stay on earth is remembered through written paper docu ments that eternally record his coming into this life and his eventual passing away. ance of duty in action, and short ly before he was reported miss ing he had also received the Dis tinguished Flying Cross. He was the son of Mrs. McPherson and the late J. A. McPherson of Cam eron, and a grandson of Mrs. H. P. McPherson, also of Cameron. He graduated from Cameron High School and attended Lees-McRae College. Lieutenant McPherson was in- Friday, Dec^ber 21, 1945 ducted into the Army Air Forces in October, 1941, at Fort Meade, Md. He received his wings and commission as a second lieuten ant in Jime, 1942, and was sent overseas early in 1943.

C- Bryant The Charlotte-Hawkins Brown Chapter of the Women’s Federa tion Clubs of Moore County held its 3rd annual session at Trinity A. M. E. Zion Church of South ern Pines, N. C. This session was one of the most successful since its organization. The guest speaker, Mrs. Lula S. Kelsey, was presented with an orchid; Mrs. Emily Ford, whose group of singers were on the program, and Mrs. Julia Mask, president of the Laurinburg Chapter, were presented with cor sages of roses. Everyone was impressed with the address made by the speak er, Mrs- Kelsey, president of the State Federation of Negro Wom en’s Clubs, who commended the Moore County group for the rec ord they had made in the brief history of the club’s organization. “This group,” said Mrs. Kelsey, “is the most outstanding in North Carolina.” Briefly, she summed up the progress of the club. Or ganized in 1942, through Mrs; Edna B. Taylor, State Organizer, starting with eleven women, at j the end of its first year, the mem bership had increased to 200. Now at the end of its third year, there are 556 women who belong to the Federation. Not only can; this club boast of an increased enrollment, it has done work that is most commendable. It was: through its assistance that the home for girls in Rocky Mount was established. Mrs. Kelsey urged the people! in her address to “Give more than, you take.” Citing things they i could give, she mentioned the'j foRowing: Money, of which peo ple have more than they have ever had before; Votes, with which they could still carry on the fight for democracy; and “last but not least,” she said, “Give yourselves.” Mrs. Kelsey cited Mary McLeod Bethune as one who gave herself, and “we have Bethune College; Charlotte Haw kins Brown gave herself,” Mrs. Kelsey continued, “ and we have Sedalia, Mr. P. R- Brown is giv ing himself and we look forward to having one of the best schools for boys in the country.” “And last of aU,” said Mrs. Kel sey, “believing in the Father-hood of God, and the Brother-hood of man, and with love in our hearts for everybody, we must forever press forward, “Lifting as We Climb.” Other highlights of this meeting was a reading by Mrs. Bettye El- lerbe, on the “Negro In Music,” and the interesting music by the Emily Ford Singers- Winter Rancidness of Milk Prevented Methods of preventing loss of flavor in milk have been outlined recently by Dr. W. M. Roberts, dairying authority of N- C. State College. Each year when pastures have dried up and the cows are put on dry rations, Roberts ex plained, complaints are made that the milk and dairy products are apt to have a strong or rancid flavor. Such complaints are com mon, beginning in the fall and continuing throughout the win ter. More difficulty is experienced with small poorly fed herds than with large well managed ones, and milk from “strippers” is more likely to develop the off- flavor than milk from fresh cows. The change in flavor is due to a substance, an enzyme, which breaks down the butterfat into undesirable flavor compounds. The substance or ensyme is itself derived from the cow, and can not be kept out of or removed from the milk. Certain precau tions, however, according to state ments by Roberts, will help to minimize the development of a rancid flavor. Milk from the “strippers” should be discarded from the regular supply. Milk should be cooled rapidly to a low temperature and kept cool until delivered. Milk which has not yet been cooled should not be agitated excessively. Milk should be de livered immediately, and never held longer than overnight. A final measure, preventive rather than curative, is the feed ing of silage or other succulent feeds where practical. Cameron Man Listed As Killed In Action First Lt. Hugh McPherson, U. S. Army Air Forces, of Cameron, who has been missing in action since December 1, 1943, has been officially declared dead by the War Department, his mother, Mrs. J. A. McPhersqp, of Camer on, has been notified. Lieutenant McPherson, who served with the 10th Army Air Force in India, was navigator on a B-24 Liberator and was report ed missing in action over Burma. He had received decorations four times for outstanding perform- Telepkone S651 Southern Piaee Remember, Victory Bonds make the ideal Christmas gift this year.
