Every one turned to him for advice, sug gestions and morale uplift. He rarely said much but his way of doing things was far more expres sive than words. He didn't seem to find the need of conversation necessary. He played his biggest role in life in times of controversy; the second he put in his appearance, the argu ments suddenly lapsed and usually dissipated into thin air. A fellow just couldn't keep on arguing after be met this master of arbitration. He built up a great reputation as a peace maker and rarely failed to end a quarrel in no time flat. He was past-master of the art when it came to babies Let the youngster be in the depths of de spair over any of the many things that cross a baby's life and lie would pop into the baby's face and all would be serene: it was uncanny the influence be held over the babies and the grown-ups alike. The clerks in the stores all eagerly served him: in restaurants his order was taken promptly ami the service was given with such a sense of real pleasure that others around pondered and asked the reason why. Hut the minute they met him, face to lace, they under stood and inwardly, secretly vow ed they would follow his example. Jt paid such big dividends, and was such an inexpensive attribute. You could carry, it with you at all times, whether traveling light or heavily laden. To be honest, it is far more valuable when you are sagging under I he weight of a ponderous load. You see, this personage of such great importance; such personal appeal; such a peace maker and such a comfort at all times is . . . A SMILE. A revolving house to catch the sun's ray's may come alter the war. It'll be nice when we can all go around together.

Mr. Clapp served as a member of the resolution committee, head ed by C. S. Bunn, of Spring Hope, whose report climaxed the day's session. s The resolution .which will be referred to the OPA and to the United States Secretary of Agri culture, stated: "Whereas a ser ious meat shortage confronts the citizenship of North Carolina, and since North Carolina is' a deficit meat-producing area, and without a Federally inspected packing plant from which North Carolina con sumers can get the amount of meat that formerly came from such plants, be it resolved: "I. That we request the OPA to increase quotas for local slaughter ers. "2. That the quota for individual local slaughterers be increased from 400 pounds to 1.500 pounds. "3. That more efficient Federal grading of meats be provided for this area. "4. To alleviate the speculation on livestock and poultry markets caused by the inability of local slaughterers to take care of in creased seasonal supply due to lack of sufficient quotas. "5. That since poultry Is one of our quickest sources of meat that we can produce, poultry prices should be stabilized at a figure that guarantees a reasonable profit to the producer, and such a price should not be terminated without giving the producer ample notice at least four months)." Herman C. Arberg, of Chicago, chairman of the American Farm Bureau Federation, was among the speakers, who stated that the meat shortage could not be placed at the foot of the American farmers, for in 1944 they produced 24.000. (K)O.OOO pounds of meat. "Already In 1945, we have pro duced more than 23,000,000,000 pounds of meat. The normal pre war average from 1935 to 1939 was only 15,000,000,000 pounds annually. The problem today is not the lack of production, but the unprecedented demand from the' Army, from Lend-Lease and from home consumption," pointed out Mr. Asberg at the meeting. The speaker also urged that the farmers immediately increase their poultry production which can be done at once, and also to feed out and market the maximum num ber of beef cattle, and In order to do this, the farmers must be given assurance from the government that they will not ssutain a loss Library Notes IF . .
