The attendance five years ago went beyond all expectations, with over 12.000 reported attending the show. There were 3.000 the open ing day. with 4.300 reported for the night and more than 4.500 on the second day.

Working to make the show a great success were three well known county farm agents, two vet erans and one still in Germany. Wayne Corpening. current county farm agent, who made history in Africa and Kurope, John Keicl. now with the State Department of Extension, and Col. Jack Lynn, now serving in Germany with the V. S. Government. One of the biggest things about Ihe show were the home arts and crafts, with the canned goods that all v isitors wanted (o buy. Heard often was the question, "Are these for sale'.''' There was no sugar rationing then. , WW'r4bAl Hay- 4W 4l,k AH V4 &h -sT l Market Reports One reason the Haywood show of : 1941 attracted so much attention i was the fact that its entries of cattle were of the highest standard I and its home crafts and exhibitions were worthy of a slate fair, hut j there were no gambling carnival I features to take money out of thoi county. The amusements and en-' lerlaininenl were constructive. The: 1S141 show demonstrated that a suc cessful county fair could he held without these features. ALTHOUGH BOTH are battered, Etienne IVrier, 14, and the horn ho was learning to play, escaped the Belgian airline disaster that took a toll of 2li lives in the Newfoundland wilderness.

Considered One Of Best Beef Breeds Since Earliest Days Native home of the famous Here ford breed of ealle is Hereford shire, a eounty in the west of Kiik land. Here, in 1742, llenjaniin Tom kins, the elder, is eiedited by many as the originator of the dislinet Hereford breed, and his son, lien jainin Tonikins, the youiiHer, car ried on the program. Within r() years the breed was pronounced "superior as beasts of draft and fattening at an early age," and butchers felt that no other type of beef calle had as fine quality of meat or as little waste as in the Tomkins breeding. An early historian remarked that "Herefordshire is also famous as a breeding country for its cattle of bright red hue, with mottled or white faces and sleek and silky coats. The ilerefords are a stal wart and healthy breed and put on more meat and fat at an early age, in proportion to feed con sumed, than almost any other va riety. They produce the finished beef and are more cheaply fed than other breed." Henry Clay is said to be Ihe first American to import this breed, purchasing a bull anil two heifers in 1 a 1 7. One of the earliest large importations was by W. 11. Sothain, who in 18:i!) and HMO brought 21 cows and heifers and a bull to his farm near Albany, N. Y. The east ern slates became interested, and the Hereford herds spread until the Civil War curtailed trading. After this the breed went fur ther west and was popular in Can ada, and the Hereford became ac cepted generally as a fine quality beef breed. Within the past half century, Hereford breeders battled hard to get this acceptance in the cattle ranches of the West, hut now it is looked on as the paramount breed and has helped to cause the gradual disappearance of the un fenced public ranges and brought on a breaking-up of the larger tracts of grazing land into farms and ranches. The American Hereford associa tion, formed in 1882, has been an organization of breeders and sup porters of this type. Their mem bership extends into all states now, and there are 27 states including North Carolina who have more registered Hereford cattle than other beef breeds combined. Interest in Haywood county has grow n considerably within the past 20 years, and now many fine ani mals of that lypc are grown here. Supporters of the breed look to the Hereford to become more im portant here in future years. Will Owens was able to attend Sunday nmrning services at Kivei side church. Mr. Owens has re cently returned home after spend ing several weeks at the Mission Hospital, after losing an eye while working in a tobacco crop. Hev. and Mrs. Gay Chambers.

Britain To Release Surplus Material For Sale To Italy ROME Britain is turning over surplus war material valued at $800,000,000 to the Italian govern ment, it was stated here. "The price has not yet been fixed, but in line with Britain's policy of giving Italy a helping hand it will be purely a nominal figure, considerably below the fig ure at which we valued the mate rial," Brig. A. L. Nixon, Chief Disposal Officer, said here. Some 350,000 types of equip ment are being handed over, in cluding tanks, guns, thousands of vehicles, rubber, and scrap metal. All war equipment, such as guns and tanks, is demilitarized before being banded over. Brigadier Nixon said a similar agreement was being worked out with the French government.
