North Carolina i Mr t5S ASSOCIATION I NATIONAL EDITORIAL lilAO iASSOCATION FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1940 Jonathan Woody, Citizen Little more than a year ago Jonathan Woody, native of Cataloocb.ee, who had re Bided in other sections for about 20 years re turned to his home county to spend the re mainder of his days. He became president f the First National Bank. While he was over "on the other side of the ridge" he learned a great deal about life, people and business in general, and he made good. In the meantime his sentiment about the section where he had been reared grew until he could no longer deny the urge to re turn. Combining the ability to make friends with hard business judgment, Mr. Woody is a "go getter" in the modern use of the expression. He has the power and courage to start things, and the clear vision to see them through to a -successful finish.' But as he goes along the way, it gives him pleasure to carry the other fellow with him. As president of a solid substantial banking Institution (he has it in his power to help pro mote progress in this community more than any other one person. During .the past year he has shown both his, willingness and his ability to do this. ': '' vV- f , : f The recent announcement of the location of a new industry in this section is the direct result of hi3 vision plus (his ability to put things across. While others may have help ed along the way, it was Mr. Woody's untir ing efforts that brought the plant here. More power to you Jonathan, and this paper wishes to extend its hearty cooperation in your visions for the upbuilding of our community. Kindness Brings Results We have often noticed at the farm tours throughout the county of the fine relation between the 4-H Club members and their calves. We have also wondered if the way the boys and girb treated the animals did not have something to do with the manner in which the calves had thrived. A recent editorial in the Southern Plan ter recalled the foregoing. "There is a real challenge to the Southern stockmen in the old saying, 'The eye of the master fattens his cattle.' Too few of our farmers seem to realize that fine stock require fine treatment. "At various livestock shows, sales and fairs this fall, we have been impressed with the kindly, sympathetic (handling given their animals by purebred breeders and judges who scored them. "If the south is to become the great animal empire that we vision for her, our farm peo ple first must develop a love of livestock. The scrub bull, the mountain sheep or the Mustang mare can withstand scant rations and heavy handed treatment; but like a luscious high quality fruit, fine livestock lose their class in unkindly hands. "Don't try to winter more stock than you are able to feed properly. And in deciding which ones to sell, look ahead to available pas tures and prospective prices in 1941. The immediate outlook for milk and meat animals is definitely favorable." " ' Congratulations To Haywood Here and There ... -By-HllDA WAY GWYN The editor said . . .
