important item in the scru-me of living at
home during the coming ytar there is much
to he considered in the following editorial
from the Hickory Record:
Certainly, we would not criticise thrifty
residents who like to keep a few chickens,
but we want it distinctly understood we
have no patience with poultry owners who
permit their fowls to scatter into nearby
yards and gardens, there to scratch out
flower or vegetable seed and nonchalantly
snip off the tender young plants which are
the pride and joy of the budding gardner.
One honemaker who can whip up a good
garden as well as a good meal, has her secret
3orrow for some good neighbors she hesi
tates to make angry, keep chickens and let
them roam the neighborhood light-hearted
and fancy free. That is enough to make a
prospective Victory gardener downhearted
in contemplating the Spring days which are
just around the corner in spite of King Win
ter's present majestic reign.
It seems that said chickens have made and
are making themselves at home on her place
all the time. They lived on her garden all
last year. From the way they ate she de
cided the neighbors' chicken feed bill must
have been practically nil. She knows that
chickens have an important place in the war
efTort. She knows all about the need for
eggs, for hens that are good layers, chickens
for the table, and all that. But she thinks
also that the place to raise chickens is on
their owners' home ground and not in the
gardens and on the premises next door.
This newspaper very humbly suggests
that the good woman who yearns to have a
garden, and whose experience gives assur
ance she can grow a good one if anybody can
take the dilemma by the horns or grab a
few of the trespassing chickens by the necks,
whichever is most convenient and most cal
culated to get results.
Anyway, we hereby announce that for the
duration at least, we are committed openly
and unrelentingly to the cause of the vege
table gardener. Their rights to grow their
plants without interference from neighbors'
chickens, dogs, or other livestock should be
protected if it takes a few neighbodhood
quarrels and special acts of the common
council to do it.
Congratulations, RE A
One of the most progressive movements
inaugurated in Haywood County during the
past few years was the establishment of the
Rural Electrification lines. What it has
meant to the rural citizens of this area could
not be estimated in cold figures.
It came at an opportune period, for as a
time saving addition to rural life, it will
prove even more valuable to the farms dur
ing the coming years than the past, as
labor problems become more acute.
We like the idea of building toward the
future and the preparation for greater
things after the war. We realize that for
lack of available material the building of
new links in the chain of service will have
to wait until after the duration, but we
commend the plans that are being formulat
ed ready to go when conditions make it
possible.
The establishment of the REA in Hay
wood County is just another one of those
reasons why this section offers an ideal
rural life. We congratulate the officials of
the corporation for their foresighted plans.

We note where President Roosevelt in
observing the tenth anniversary of his first
inauguration on last Thursday, prayed for
strength to combat the forces of evil.
A special prayer service was held in the
Kast Room of the White House with most
of the high ranking government leaders, in
cluding the members of the Cabinet and
the Supreme Court, Congress, and the com
manding officers of the armed forces were
present.
The President has set the cities, towns
and communities of the country a fine ex
ample. Community services of prayer for
"the power to contend against evil and to
make no peace with oppression," as the
Navy Chaplain expressed it in the White
House service, would give our people a
deeper spiritual significance of this critical
hour.

Quick Work, Double
Work
"He gives twice who gives quickly," an
accepted proverb, which might be changed
to "He works twice who works quickly," is
pointed out in the March number of the
Progressive Farmer "as applicable to war
time farm work."
Under war conditions, it was further
elaborated double quick action is necessary
not only in ordering fertilizer, seeds, and
other supplies, but also in getting lands
broken, and ready for planting earlier than
ever before.
After planting this also applies to culti
vation, for delayed cultivation can cost
double money and trouble. Harrows and
weeders must be used to prevent grass and
seetls germinating and rooting instead of
waiting to use plows and hoes to destroy
firmly rooted weeds and grass.
It was" also pointed out that "quick ac
tion in all fields of war effort may mean the
difference between quick victory and vic
tory after wear exhaustion. Redoubled food
production effort in 1943 may do twice as
much to hasten victory as the same effort
in 1944. War bonds bought in 1943 may
not impossibly do twice as much harm to
Hitler as war bonds bought in 1944."
"He gives twice who gives quickly
works twice who .works quickly."
have done . . . those she met, little
dreaming that some day the at
tractive Chinese girl would be the
First I.ady of China. . .
The late Mrs. Frank Sihr, who
was at that time dean of Wesley
an College, in Georgia, where the
Chinese girl was a student . . .
had brought her pupil up hire for
ithe summer . . . Mrs. John Davis
recalls how gracious, but how shy,
her aunt's guest was . . . but she
was at that time i very interest
ing person. . . Afterward she at
tended Willsley . . . and her for
mer teacher kept up with her many
years. . but while she considered
her an extraordinary girl, we doubt
if Mrs. Si let' would hav.' predicted
such a brilliant and useful place
in world affairs that her pupil
holds today. . . .
Those wdio heard Madame Chiang
Kai-shek over the radio Tuesday
night were bound to have been im
pr: ssed by her sincerity and her
power of expression. . . She is not
only a leader in political affairs (if
her country and the world, but also
a spiritual leader ... it is said that
she would not marry her husband
until he was a converted Christian
and that she waited two years for
him to join the Christian church. . .
There was something about her
voice over the radio that made one
wish to see her in person . . . and
when shp said "China Fights On"
. . . it must have inspired every
American citizen who heard her
wish, with a greater zeal to finish
this war ... it was a challenge . . .
to us . . . from a country that has
suffered from tho ravages of the
Japs long before we felt the im
pact of their attack.

We predict that the new point rationing
will have a fine effect on the housewives
during the time it is in use. They will learn
a sharp frugality about planning that has
never been necessary before in the majority
of cases.
One cannot buy without thought under
the new plan and "come out" during the
alloted time with the proper food values,
so buying groceries is no longer a simple
matter, but one for of studied consideration.
With the number of unprocessed fruits
and vegetables that remain unrationed, if
meals are well planned there is no reason
why anyone should suffer from paint ration
ing. To discourage profiteering on these,
the OPA has put ceiling prices on such
things as tomatoes, snap beans, carrots, cab
bages and peas, all good old standbys on the
table of the average American, as well as
Haywood county citizen.
Price control is said .to now cover nearly
95 percent of all foods, so the cost of living
should not necessarily be boosted by the
point rationing if the housewife is thrifty
in her planning.
The fact that the annual drive for funds
for the Haywood district of the Boy Scouts
went beyond the set quota this year is sig
nificant. It means that despite all the war
effort the citizens of the county have not
forgotten that life must go on with its reg
ular obligations as much as is possible.
The boys who are of Scouting age today
are headed for a tough time at the period
of maturity. They will enter a new world
of problems resulting from this war. Many
of the older boys will serve in the armed
forces for they will reach the required age,
we fear, before the conflict is over.
Scouting both for the boys and the girls
is one of the finest and most wholesome
experiences either group can enjoy. It gives
an idealist turn to every day living, that not
only appeals to the younger boy Or girl, but
supplies avenues for their natural desire for
activity that fills their time with useful and
worthwhile projects.
We are glad that even in this critical year,
the work of the Boy Scouts will continue
in Haywood County with full support of
the people.
We have had an original poem
contributed to us this week ... it
is pretty timely, for wa have a
hunch that its name is a common
complaint. . (the author asked
that we refrain from giving her
name).
INCOME TAX BLUES
A nice vacation I had planned
To a new and different land.
Then, My Uncle wrote to ask,
"What about your income tax?"
I wouldn't say it made me mad
But I was far from being glad.
All kind of taxes I have paid
On every cent I've ever made.
I wonder what will be my fate
That tax is a hundred twenty-eight.
I'm tellin' you this ain't funny
Don t know where I'll get the
money.
If I just leave this form alone,
they'll can me up with Al Capone
Now some vacation this would be
Behind the bars Poor Little Me!
I thought I'd try to join the Waacs
To keep from paying income tax.
Then I found this wouldn't do
'Cause they have to pay them too.
It seems this tax is meant to be
For everyone, including me.
It's gonna put me in a pinch
I'll have to pay it, that's a cinch.
I think I'll write my Uncle Sam
And tell him I don't give a d .
Ill save my pennies, on? by one
So he can have a little fun.
They say this tax will help us win
Save all our necks, also our kin
Now, the only thing: I have to fear
Is income tax again next year.
Mrs. William Ira Lee, of Getlin-
for there
is no honor or dintinction too great
to pay these boys who have died
that we might continue to go about
our lives here safely in America.
