First deliveries are expected by fall. Approximately 100,000 new orders for telephones that cannot be filled because of lack of equipment are accumulat ing each month. On Eastern Coast PROPER METHODS FOR HOME CANNING The "open kettli " method and the "oven" method of home canning cannot be depended on to kill harm ful bacteria in food, say canning specialists in the Department of Agriculture, and in addition oven canning has caused serious acci dents when jars explode. The spec ialists recomnx nd that fruits, to matoes, and pickled vegetables be precooked and packed boiling hot in hot jars, with lids adjusted cor rectly, then processed in a boiling water bath canner with sufficient water to cover the jars. Peas, beans and other non-acid vegetables should be packed in the same way, but processed in a steam pressure canner. Some of the 400,000 new steam pressure canners authorized by WPB for the canning season are now available in certain areas in the South and others should be available throughout the country before long. Many community food preservation centers provide local home canners with equipment and supervised instructions on proper canning.

FUEL WILL BE SCARCE THIS WINTER All fuel coal, oil, gas and wood will be scarce this coming winter, the Solid Fuels Administration for War says. There will be a deficit of about 38 million tons of coal. Consumers should order their coal now, during the summer season and store whatever kind the dealer recommends.

McCRARY VINSON MORROW 08 fuel oil should order their supply as soon as their new ration coupons become valid probably, within the next month. By filling consumers' fuel orders early, dealers will be able to re-fill their own oil tanks or coal stockpiles and thus add to the total storage capacity of the ra tioned area for use later in the winter. The Solid Fuels Adminis trator urges all fuel users to help conserve fuel next winter by wea therstripping, insulating and get ting heating equipment in good shape now during the summer. ROUND-UP The United States Employment Service placed more than 74,000 veterans of the current war in ci vilian jobs during February and March. Use of mineral oil in salad dressings and in foods has harm- rui ettects such as causing loss oi vitamins, which, the Department of Agriculture says, far outweigh its advantages and may lead to de ficiency ills. Onions, now back in plentiful supply, according to WFA are, if eaten raw, a source of vita min C and thiamine. U. S. ship yard emDlovment increased from 63,000 in January, 1935, to 1,722, 000 in December, 194.3, and the 1943 merchant ship tonnage deliv ered was 16 times the amount de livered in 1941, according to the Secretary of Labor. WPB reports that housewives will have to get along with short supplies of oil cloth for some time to come be cause of the war need for critical materials used in its manufacture.

BUY WAR BONDS AND STAHF ralph w. Mcdonald Ralph Wo McDoealrf s Program For Western North Carolina 1. Enlargement and expansion of the college at Cullowhee into a full-fledged Western North Carolina College not simply a Teachers' College, but a full standardized State College of Liberal Arts and pre-professional or vocational training at the college level. It will be not only a splendid teachers' college; its work will be broadened so that, -as fully as possible, there will be right here in the West the same kind and quality of college opportunities that are so readily available to the Piedmont and Eastern sections at Greensboro, Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Greenville. 2. Similar enlargement and expansion of the College at Boone. 3. Establishment of a Mineral Research In stitute staffed by the best experts available in the nation, with laboratories, equipment and field facili ties to explore thoroughly and promote the develop ment of the vast mineral resources of the western region. This Institute should be placed in the heart of the mineral area. If results through the first few years of operation justify it, this Institute may be developed into a College of Mines, similar to those which have helped to enrich Utah, Texas and Colo rado. 4. A highway system in keeping with the re sources of the western area in agriculture, indus try and tourist trade. Immediate construction fol lowing the war will include: (1) Additional hard-surface inlets into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park from key towns. (2) Hard-surfacing of needed links in the highway system to provide first class connections throughout the west. Several such links and new highways are badly needed. (3) . Broadening, straightening and improving present highways through the beautiful areas of this region. (4) . All-weather surfacing and maintenance of school bus routes and other secondary roads so that the thousands of farm families now isolated in bad weather may have access to schools, churches, markets and medical service. 5. Establishment at a suitable location in Western North Carolina of a new institute similar to the Caswell Training School for feeble-minded i Kinston. There are at present more afflicted peo ple waiting to get into the Caswell Institution than there are patients there. This is one of the most urgent needs of the State. 6. Establishment of an Agriculture Depart ment Test Farm in the area West of Asheville, where research can be carried on in fruits, feed crops, burley tobacco, vegetable crops; beef, dairy and sheep husbandary, thus helping to increase farm income in this area. 7. Promotion of new industry. No region anywhere excels the mountain area of Western North Carolina in power facilities, climate, man power and other factors for industrial development The industry of the future will feature more and more the combination of semi-farming and indus trial employment for workers in manufacturing. Western North Carolina is a natural mecca for such industry. The full resources of the state govern ment will be put behind a program to bring new industry into this region. 8. Systematic and vigorous advancement of the tourist business throughout Western North Carolina. The most ideal summer and winter resort areas are found throughout the entire region from the Blue Ridge west. Properly advertised. and promoted, these attractions will draw millions 0 people from throughout the country. Through ade quate state news and advertisement service, scenic highways, small State parks, and every other prac tical and available means, Ralph McDonald's admin istration will encourage the tourist trade ,to the utmost. 9. State backing for the Western North Caro lina Fair. In its brief existence before the war tW agricultural event was provingits usefulness, such manner as the pioneer leadership of this ins' tution may need and desire it, Ralph McDonald advocate State backing, financially and otherwise. enable the expansion and development of this en prise to its fullest usefulness to the Western area- 10. Proportionate representation for et North Carolina counties in appointive posts of State administration and in membership of all b Boards. Few high appointments and only a 6 representation on State Boards have been ordina granted to this important region. J RAY ORR V
