Star Attractions At Bunny Show
MUCH IN THE SPOTLIGHT at the 32nd annual show of the St. Louis, Mo.
Rabbit and Cavy Breeders' Association were a two-and-a-half-pound
Polish variety rabbit and a Flemish giant weighing 21 pounds. The
star exhibits are being held by Charlotte Armstrong. (International)
of number one importance in pre
venting or controlling such insects
as the Mediterranean flour moth,
flour beetles, the savv-tiothed grain
beetle, granary and rice \fceevils,.
and the Indian meal moth, says
James T. Conner, Jr., entomologist
for the Stare College Extension
Service. He recommends that all
cereals, crumbs, nut meatfc, and
other food fragments should be
scrubbed from the cupboard and
pantry with a stiff brush and soapy
water at frequent intervals. All
food products, such as ctreal and
flour, should toe stored in tight
containers, if they are to be held
for a period of time. Food known
to have been infested with insects
should be removed from pantries,
bins, and cupboards and destroyed,
Conner says, and after all food has
been removed, surfaces should be
sprayed with 5 per cent DDT in
deodorized kerosene. If food is to
come in direct contact with sprayed
surfaces, wait several days then
thoroughly scrub surface with
soapy water before replacing food
products.

Upon arrival guests were given
Cheerio cards and were asked to

The Saint Patrick's motif was
used in the table decorations, and
party hats were at each guest's
place. A delicious three course
dinner was prepared and served by
Miss Louise Henson, home eco
nomics teacher of Sylva High
school.
Masters of Ceremonies John
Corbin and Hugh Monteith and
Tail twister Bud Brown kept the
fun going throughout dinner. Fol
lowing the meal the men were
asked to leave the room. While
gone the ladies moved down one
seat in order to find out how ob
servant the men were.
A gaily costumed magician read
the sands of the seas for the guests
after dinner and much of the fu
ture was revealed for the Lions
and their Ladies. A baby oontest
was held and mamas selected to
dress the three babies. The babies
made pictures in their long dresses,
bibs and caps. The word contest
was won by Mrs. Claude Campbell
and the Cheerio cards were used
to play Cheerio_Bingo. Howard
Ball won this event.
Mrs. Claude Campbell played
the piano for the group singing
which was led by Jennings Bryson
and Mrs. Bud Brown.
The program committee for the
event, headed by Boyd Sossamon
and made up of Mike Strong and

Prosperity Pattern
Switzerland is a small country
without seacoast, without natural
resources, without enough fields to
produce her necessary food. The
pon-homogeneaus people?one part
Speaking German, another French,
tnd a third, Italian?add to her do
mestic difficulties. f
Under these condition*, Switzer
land should naturally be expected to
be one of the ver^ poorest nations
In Europe. On the contrary, however,
Switzerland had before the war, and
bas yet, the highest per capita
wealth in Europe. This little coun
ter pays the bee\ wages known in
itiis the towi iiv*s
^g ^conditions ^for her workers.
Why? How?
A Way and A Will
Why should a people with the least
possibilities come ou\ with the high
est average wealth, highest wages,
&nd best living conditions? Simply
because Switzerland has the right
formula for prosperity, plus the will
to make the formula work. Switzer
land is proof to the world that any
nation can have prosperity. There
are just three requirements.
1. Switzerland has a real republic,
through which the citizens reserve
to thbmselves real individual free
dom. Nearly all laws touching the
lives of the people are made locally
tn districts called "cantons," cor
responding roughly to our states.
Even the amount of income tax to
be paid by the people of each canton
Is decided locally. Political respon
sibility is a reality. And real free
dom of individual opportunity ex
ists.
Ownership Pays Out
2. Switzerland has the rii;ht type
of economy. All industry is private
ly owned and operated. Individual
ownership of property is encouraged
and protected. A high percentage of
people own their own homes and
their farms. Thrift is encouraged
both tha local and national gov
amments.
3. Switzerland has equal respon
sibility placed by law upon both
labor and capital. Industrial peace
Is encouraged, both by local and
national government. Industrial co
operation prevails throughout the
nation.
Switzerland is living proof that
these three conditions will bring
prosperity to any country, regard
less of the quantity of its natural
resources. The Swiss do not put
the eye of aggression on their neigh
bors, in a search for "living room.'
Content with their own mountains
they have found that the resources
of individual freedom, sane econ
?my, and hard work can give them
all they want. These moral re
sources the Swiss can call their own.
Retain the Formula
France, adjoining, with plenty of
natural resources and abundant fer
tile fields, should now be the most
prosperous country in Europe. In
stead she is one of the poorest. Her
socialistic form of government, her
nationalization of industry, and her
Industrial chaos have made prosper
ity impossible, despite natural re
sources. France "hasn't the light
formula.
America, for 150 years, has had
the riii^t formula. In our own land
we have achieved the highest wages,
and the best general living stand
ards ever knownT-jye have had the
natural resources. But friore impor
tant, we have treasured these same
moral resources that have made the
Swiss great. We have had freedom
of opportunity. We have made the
formula work. Shall we keep the
formula and keep prosperity, ?r de
sert the formula and revert to me
diocrity for everybody?
ir.g the sugar supply will make it
possible to declare another ten
pound stamp goo^?July 1,"
Simpson said.
He emphasized, however, that
these ten-pound stamps are not z
"bonus" and that sugar must stil
be used carefully. He also pointed
out that there will be no special
stamps set aside this year for can
, ning^ sugar, as the ten-poufic
stamps should prove sufficient tc
