C. Allen. is one o the early pre- lie county, having been about the time of the erected. It gets its name ltree creek which runs borders. The people of township are among the Serous in the county, st erected into a town :cinct as it' was original it included a great deal Sory than it does at pres )n Duff, White Oak, and e have been formed out ijer territory, and at pres jains only about thirty- miles. The boundaries denned. Beginning on fer at or near the old fguson farm, the line ridge of what is known Mountain connecting Ibers Mountains thence oanderings of said line of Sandy Mush Bald; hwest with the divide to laid; thence north to Oak's Knob; thence southwest to Pigeon river at or near Roach Shoals; thence with Pigeon river to beginning. " , .Crabtree township is one, of the most thickly settled sections of the county. The principal occupations of the people are farming and stock raising. Almost every farmer is a producer of live stock for which the township is noted. In this sec tion, it is said, some of the finest cattle In the South are grown. Some of the earliest settlements in the county were made on Crab tree creek. Among the early set tlers was Peter Mason, who came to the county about the year 1800, and built a home on Crabtree creek in which he lived to the age of 107 years when he died in 1888. Other well known men' who settled in this township and be came prominent were Josiah Craw ford, William Penland, John Rog ers, Silas Kirkpatrick, J. Bradshaw, Acton McCracken, John, Enos, Jos eph, and Russell McCracken. These men heroically reclaimed the for est and made it blossom as the rose. Other substantial citizens soon joined them or followed along after their itme. Iri the list of those who made Crabtree township what it is today, the names of Nathan; Gibson, William Ferguson, Cyrus Rogers, Samuel Ferguson, Spencer Walker, W. C. Hill, J. M. McCrack en, C. C. Rogers, and A. T. Rogers hold important places. They were the heroes in peace, who felled the forests, built roads and homes, erected school houses and churches, and blazed the way for civilization and progress, For a number of years, Crabtree was noted for its advance along educational lines. A good school was for years prior to 1900 main tained near Rock Spring church, where many young men and wo men were prepared for college. In 1905, the Roqk Spring district vot ed a special tax for . schools. In 1925, the Rock Spring Elementary School was built of concrete blocks, Bricks of Babylon Bricks have been used for build ing from the most ancient times.' The walls of Babylon were built of bricks. The Israelites were em ployed in brick-making during their bondage in Egypt. Valentine State Arizona has been dubbed the Valentine Stale by some historians. It was admitted to the union on February 14, 1912. 101FEI DOLLM BUYS BAT 9 iviassie s BEPMOTT STOKE The Home of National Brands "Better Brands Mean Better Buys Government Sign Maker Is Kept Busy All Time By JANE EADS . AP Newsfealures Writer WASHINGTON Busier all year 'round than Santa at yuletime is Charles F.- King,, who ,runs the shop "that" turns out' IhousanuY of signs annually for the government. Big signs like "DANGER" and "NO TRESPASSING," little signs like the neatly embossed cards by office doors and name plates on the boss' desk, spectacular signs in luminus paint like you see on the U. S. Information Building right in the middle of the capital, signs like "Wet Paint," "Keep Off The Grass" and "Exit," painted on wood and metal. Mr. King, Washington-born, or ganized the Public Building Serv ices sign shop 15 years ago. He says his little staff of experts can make anything "if you can describe it." Once tlfty made a plaster cow for a Department of Agriculture exhibit. They did things for the Freedom Train and made bronze picture frames for a Federal Ar rhives exhibit. They've painted flagpoles and have just finished a steeple-jack job on a big exhaust pipe extending from a Diesel en gine in the basement of the Penta gon to the building's roof, "Our big job right now Is mak ing air raid shelter signs white letters on a black ground," Mr, King told me. "They're being made up in 14 different varieties for buildings in this area. Later we expect to make them up for the field services. They say things like 'Shelter area begins here,' 'shelter area this way,' 'fire alarm' and so on. Mr. King and his staff, which in cludes two women embossoEraph prs, is always looking for newer, belter, quicker ways to turn out their work. The silk screen process, for Instance, was introduced into government by Mr. King. From one original Mr. King says you can make up to 10,000 reproductions. "This type of work is my life," Mr. King told me. "Farming is next." When retirement time comes lie expects to settle down In Tex as, where he already has some CO head of cattle, every one of which he has named. Mr, and Mrs, King like to travel. They've been all over the United Slates a half dozen times, he. says but they enjoy the quiet home life best. In his free time -Mr. King does a litle oil painting, por traits and landscapes, just for his own pleasure. Does Mrs. King like them? I asked. "She likes to criti cize," he said. ; , Wife Preservers One socrot of kecnine a home clean is "to wash washable IhinKS before Ihey get (linooloroil wilh -grime, launder slip cov ers, for instance, before dust has a chance, teaink in.
