Farm Bureau Organized (Continued from page 1) in relation to our national income the farmer cannot buy what he needs. Consequently, when farm purchasing power declines fac tories must stop producing goods, mines are cut of work and so on down the line to disaster. "Capital is organized," he stated, "and so is labor and professional men. They get what they want through organized force. The only group left is the farmer and he is forced to organize." In relating the unbalanced dis tribution of the national income Mr. Greene quoted figures pub lished by the U. S. government to Appearance Reconditioning Ad No. 1760 [How to make OLD TRUCKS LOOK NEW ? Here's a way to make old trucks look new?quick.

INTERN ATI 0 NAL , r TRIP TO SMOKIES ENJOYED BY PARTY (Continued from page 1) a suitable picture from a distance in contrast to the flashing hues of the lower ranges. The monarchs of evergreens will get their share of the attention when Winter has denuded the trees that now make the lower peaks an almost endless profusion of deep and bright colors. Come From Everywhere Otfrer sections of the country also boast of the beauty of their mountains in Autumn, but the Great Smokies and the other mountains of Western North Caro lina are drawing their share of visitors this Fall. Making a 388 mile mountain tour during the last week-end, a party of five! Hickoryites?Dr. Charles L. Hun- j sucker, Attorney John C. Stroupe, Lewis Warlick, Dave Howard, and your reporter?saw automobiles | from almost every State in the \ Union, and through the park areas! i the roadside was alive with pic- ] nickers, their appetites whetted by the beauty and fresh air of the Autumn dressed mountains. Perhaps one of the loveliest pic the effect that in i946 the national income was 176 billion dollars. Twenty per cent of the nation's population lives on farms so their fair share of the income would be 35 2-10 billion dollars but in 1946 the farmers only received 19?2 billion dollars, or slightly more than half of their share. GROUPS ORGANIZED At the close of the speeches the group unanimously voted to or ? ganize a Farm Bureau chapter and to set out on a two weeks membership drive. Temporary of ficers were elected to serve until the next meeting which will be held in the court house at 7 p. m., No vember 12. At this time perma nent officers and a board of di rectors will be elected and the out line of county activities will be drawn up. Temporary officers are, J. B. Coates, of Webster, president, and G. T. Hampton, of Cullowhee, Secretary-Treasurer. All farmers and farm owners are urged to be present at this next meeting to help plan Jackson county's advancement for 1948. HONOR FORMER CABINET OFFICIAL PRESIDENT AND MRS. TRUMAN are shown with Col. Archibald 3. Roose velt, son of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, at the dedication in Washington of a memorial (background) to the late Oscar S. Straus, Cabinet member and diplomat under four Presidents. The statue is lo cated in Commerce Department Building's Great Plaza. (International) tures of Autumn seen by the Hick ory party was a panaroma view of the Tuckaseigee Valley with the Great Smoky Mountain Range in the distance on the drive from Sylva to New Found Gap. At numerous places between the two points mentioned, the mountains are so alive with Autumn colors that they look like gigantic out door paintings standing out against the sky. The Cherokee Indians Reserva tion is also coming in for its share of Autumn color and atten tion. The feathers of the chiefs' headdresses are little brighter at present, however, than the colors of Autumn in the flanking moun tains. Phosphate For Farmers All farmers in Jackson county who wish to secure additional superphosphate to be used in 1947 should contact the AAA office at once. D. C. Higdon, Chairman of the Jackson county AAA, advises that additional funds have been secured with which to purchase phosphate and that several cars have already been received and more is expected at an early date. Since the year is drawing to a close farmers are urged to apply for this phosphate at once so that it may be applied in 1947. Prices for fall and winter apple varieties this year are expected to average about tpe same as last year. Card Of Thanks The family of Charles L.

I want a fair chance for myself and my family. I want to help other farm people. I do not want my neighbors to have to pull my part of the load. I know that only by working together will it be possible to keep a farm program. I do not know of any other organization that has done more to keep farm prices at a fair level. I know of no other farm organization that is better equipped to protect the interests of the farmers. I know of no other group of people in the Nation attempting'to promote any cause or movement without an organization. I think I should join the Farm Bureau and ask my neighbor to join with me. , I want to have a part in determining the policies in the largest farm organization in the world on the county, state and national level.
