ABOUT DOGS < March and April are big months for the dogs of this sec tion. That is when the anti-rabies clinics are held. Just last Friday the Southern Pines dogs all gath ered at the Swinnerton Stables. There Dr. Neal set up his stand and laid out his formidable ar ray of syringes and bottles. The dogs stood around with their masters. There were no dog mag azines, in this, doctor’s waiting room and the patients very soon grew impatient. Symptoms were discussed and arguments developed. Before long the air was rent by cries, the complaints of indignant or weary patients, and, as the worthy doctor got down to the business of the day, by cries of other sorts. Cries of rage, cries of protest, cries of dogs being “stuck”, cries of young owners over the cries of dogs being stuck, cries of fury of dogs trying, to attack the worthy doctor, or each other or each other’s owners. All in all, they raised quite a rum pus and a dust. And if that isn’t what most of us would like to do when we go to the doctor, if we only had the nerve, we have another guess coming. When babies go for a ride it is an occasion for the family dog. He goes along, trotting under neath or just behind the carriage. They seem to be all of one breed, these dogs small, neatly-built, white with black or brown spots. All their tails curl up over their backs, just grazing the under side of the carriages. The name of the breed would be hard to de cide; perhaps just Baby-carriage Dog is as good a one as any. Or Junior Carriage Dog; they look just like a small version of the spotted Dalmatian carriage dogs we used to see trotting behind dog-carts. They have the same buisiness-like importance. When the baby-carriages stop they lie down panting languidly between the wheels. We knew a little white Sealy- ham long afeo, who used to follow a certain baby carriage with the same preoccupied air. She was very sure that unless she was right there on the job something dreadful would happen to the baby. She considered the nurse and even the parents as being hopelessly irresponsible. She used to try to catch rabbits; try and try and try, but her little legs were too short and her terrier nose unable to follow Brer Rab bit’s intricate gyrations. One day, though, she ran plump onto a baby bunny; one snap and she had him. Her charge, the baby, lay in his car riage under the trees. Did she think: “babies like bunnies” or: “he is the nicest thing I know; I want him to have my first catch.”? Anyway when the nurse came out to get the child she found a limp and battered baby rabbit in the carriage. She gave a yell, went in the house, packed her grip and left. And then the Sealyham was sure that human beings had no sense. The old white collie. Laddie, is a frequent stroller on Broad Street. He likes to lie in the en try of Patch’s, on the cool cement step. He waves a discreet tail and gazes politely over his nose as the ladies Step over him on their way in. Perhaps, indeed, politeness is the most outstand ing feature of our Town Dogs. All are cordial, interested, yet sufficiently reserved to be al ways mannerly and dignified. Even the yellow curly-tailed fycts from over the creek carry themselves with an air. the editor of the successful, San ford Herald, and was president of the N. C. Press newspaper As sociation in 1940, but, though a newspaper man of the first order, to your markets, or to your he has not the flightiness some times associated with that brand of individual. His paper has been on the conservative side, a well- run business, plugging for the good of the community; he has eschewed great crusades and far- flung goals. Questioned about his views and his plans if elected, he was non committal, implying that he would rather wait and act as seemed best when the occasion arose than commit himself in ad vance to what might be aims im possible to realize. In this he shows the shrewd politician and the editor who has learned from long experience the dangers of sticking your neck out. His personality, frank and at tractive, implies a man willing to go all out for a good cause and with the judgment to recognize one. ( FIGHT OFF THE BILLBOARDS During the war years we had no gasoline to enjoy the nation’s highways while the scenery was at its best. Now that we have gasoline again, and are about to invest millions of Federal and State funds in new roads, we face the prospect of losing the scenery. That old bugbear, billboard ad vertising, is aligning its forces for a new onslaught. The old signs crumbled into oblivion while industry was producing for its one and only customer over children’s schools. That’s the ad vice of Commissioner of Agricul ture W. Kerr Scott. Be like your city brother, he says. Beacuse if his streets get bad he screams bloody murder. . . and the streets get fixed in a hurry. So yell, and keep on yelling, until your rural roads are improved. NEW TARHEEL SOYBEAN has been developed and it has an oil content superior to any var iety now grown. It’s the “Roan oke,” medium tall with medium sized stems, has grey pubesence and white flowers, and matures about Oct. 25. It has a higher seed yield and a higher oil yield than either the Woods Yellow or the Volstate. PROLIFIC HOGS is what Bill and Charles Sheets have, 4-H Club boys of Rt. 6, Lexington. One has a registered Duroc sow and the other a grade Duroc sow. Both farrowed in June ’45 and again in Jan.. ’46 for a total of 57 pigs in the four litters ... 14 1-2 pigs per litter. Sounds like a pig producing record to us. LESS MOOIN’ & NEIGHIN’ will be heard thruout North Car olina this year, because there’s going to be less horses, mules, and cattle^—^less hogs and sheep, too. Surveys show there will be 2,000 less horses, over 5,000 less mules, 14,000 less cattle, some 200,000 less hogs and 2,000 less Chinese working - woman, who, T. G.

Ida Pruitt, who took down Lao T’ai T’ai’s story, has retold it with affection and warm sympathy. FOXES OF HARROW, by Frank Yerby, a novel of old Louisiana, packed with adventure, magnifi cence, and love sacred and pro fane. A sure-fire bid for best- sellerdom and Hollywood. the past five years. It has been sheep. But more chickens and a delight, when we could ven ture forth into the country, to see the trees and the fields, the valleys and the hills, instead of the garish appeals to try this and to buy that. If memory does not fail, we once counted 64 signs in the short stretch between Southern Pines and Aberdeen. And we learn in the current number of Readers’ Digest that there were 2450 signs in the 40- miles of U. S. Route 1 between Baltimore and Washington—60 to a mile. (They’re coming back, these blots on the landscape, unless something can be done about it. And only organization can fight them off. The billboard advertising folks are organized, with lobby ists in every State capital and in the halls of Congress, and with millions of dollars behind them. Outdoor advertising is one of the big businesses, and a tough one to fight. Legislators are under constant pressure from farmers and landowners who derive rev- j enue from the lease of land, i About all they have dared to do is to forbid the use of the State- owned rights - of - way border ing the roads. This isn’t much help. An aroused public opinion, ap pealing to the advertiser to re spect natural beauty, wlU bear weight. But it must carry the weight of numbers. State Senator Thomas C. Desmond, of New York, in his appeal in the Read ers’ Digest for nationwide cam paigns to prevent the desecration of the highways about to be built, and rebuilt, sees hope from the number of veterans who saw and admired the unsullied roads of England and Qermany. And in the work being done by num erous groups organized to pre serve our landscapes, some of which are going so far as to boy cott the wares of the advertisers. It is particularly important for resort comniunitles to gird their loins agaiiist the onslaught of these outdoor advertising con cerns. Resorts cater to the mo torist seeking respite from the marts of trade, looking for Amer ica’s beauty spots. Those com munities which can fight off the forthcoming battle to spoil all this will be richly rewarded. Let us hope that the Sandhills can and will do its utmost to prevent the return of the blight.

It is estimated that this drug is worth about $10,000,000 anually to stockmen. Look into the matter, and maybe you’ll share part of the ten million dol lar savings. GOLD IN YOUR WOODLOT is what you can find, if a recent re port on Adams County, Pa. proves anything. This report shows that returns per hour spent on your woodlot are more than twice those spent on any other crop. Average net income per hour was $.93. Dr. Robt. F. Chandler Jr., of Cornell University can give you more dope. MOLDY ADVICE you can call it, since it’s on how to control the Blue Mold that’s such a plant-bed headache throughout the flue-cured tobacco area.

WILDWOOD, by Josephine Johnsra, a poignant story of adolescence by a writer who won the Pulitzer prize some years ago with “Now in November”. The reviewers have differed about this book, some thinking the au thor stacked the cards against poor Edith Pierre, others that it is for those who appreciate a study of human nature without benefit of hectic plot or dialog, but all agree that no more sensi tive nor beautiful prose has been used than in Miss Johnson’s book. BEFORE THE SUN DOWN, by Elizabeth Howard, winner of $140,000 from the pub lisher and M-G-M, following the winner of this prize last year, “Green Dolphin Street”. This is a novel of life today on both sides of the railroad track, and the author has handled it so as to make the reader identify her self with all its characters, both the First Families and the Poor Whites. “Willowspring”, the town, is really the novel’s hero and heroine.

If you don’t know yet why you can’t get any butter, here’s why: Butter fat now sells for around 90 cents a poimd in North Caro line, while the amount of butter that can be made from 90 cents’ worth of butter fat only brings 45 cents. So if you sold dairy pro ducts what would you do—sell your cream for 90c or go to the extra trouble of making butter? and then get half price, only Within the last week, the li brary in Southern Pines has add ed the following new books: (WASTELANIH, by Jo Sinclair, winner of the Harper $10,000 prize for a first novel and ac claimed by the reviewers to be worth the money. It is the story of Jack Brown, born Jakie Braunstein, and of his shame and sense of frustration; he wanders in a wasteland from which there seems no escape until he finally acknowledges his birth and back ground. The book has emotional intensity which sweeps the read er along so that he shares Jakie’s own conflict and final victory. FRIDAY’S CHILD by Georgette Heyer. By way of contrast to the foregoing is this light and amus ing but historically accurate novel of Regency days in Eng land. The heroine seems doomed to life as a governess and per haps marriage to a poor curate when dashing Viscount Shering- ham comes into her life, ready to marry almost any pretty girl to get his inheritance. He finds “Kitten” quite a handful and needless to say, a happy ending. ONE AND TWENTY: Duke nar rative and verse, 1924-1945, an anthology containing examples of the best writing of various graduates and undergraduates of Duke University during the twenty-one years since the uni versity was founded. It has been designed and illustrated with woodcuts by the pupils of Claire Leighton and should be of es pecial interest to all North Car olinians.
