One of thfe most essential, pieces
of road building equipment in those
days was the indispensable barrel
of rum. If the barrel was left in the
rear, .two or more men went back
and brought it up suspended und
er a long pole. There was nothing
Inconsistent In the fact that Mr.
Abbott was also a professor of re
ligion. He took his Bible with him
and a Hymn book and several vol
umes of sermons as well as the
barrel of rum. Think of Eleazer
Wheelock and the founding of Dart
mouth College according to the,
song that iso took a Bible and
five" hundred gallons of New Eng
land rum.
After the men had passed through
Tyngtown and started in the direc
tion of what is now Weld, they
had advanced almost a day's jour
ney beyond the barrel of rum. So
two Of the stronger men were sent
back to bring up the barrel. Hours
elapsed and there was no sign of
the men. Soon the road crew began
to get mutinous. So Mr. Abbot sent
two more men back. By then it was
almost dark. So they made a camp
in the wilderness, built a roaring
fire to cook their food and to get
warm. There seemed to be a strange
chill in the air.
Although the waiting men were
thirsty and muttered among them
selves about the lack of a man's
drink, they were also very tired and
soon fell asleep. Not long after
midnight, one of the men woke up
with a start. He felt that someone
was watching him just beyond the
light of the fire. The horses were
acting as if there were a bear near
or mayie even a lynx or a loup
cervier called Lucy-V. He grab
bed his rifle1' and started for the
horses. t
Beyond the horses tne two ox
teams were tied and even the us
ually placid oxen were pawtaj the
eround as in fear. Just then th4
man felt something icy on his neck.
To his amazement he found the
hemlocks covered with snow. But
it hadn't snowed anywhere else
only in that thicket of hemlocks.
He went closer. There lying in the
snow and all of them gloriously
drunk were the four men who had
been sen' for the rum
the barrel of rum was a girl wrap
ped in white fox fur laughing in
a voice like a loon's cry. Whenever
she waved her arm more snow fell. Qn Sugar js gm,

colder he got. When he reached out
to grab the girl, his hands shook so 1
hard that she eluded him and fled
into the night. He followed' her I
for more than an hour easy to do
because wherever she went she left j
a path of snow.
Next day when the four men had
slept off their rum, they told of
meeting this girl who had begged
them for a drink. She told them she i
was cold, had been cold for centu- !
ries. Naturally when they drew a
draught for the girl, 'hev drew one '
for themselves. But she didn't drink
hers whenever she got it near i
her lips, the rum turned to solid
ice. But she did lead them to camp
and even helped them carry the ,
barrel.
The man who followed her in
vain, and cold sober at that, said
very little. He didn't stay with
the party very long either. He
seemed restless and unhappy all the
time.
One day he took off across the
mountains following the direction
of that strange siren. No, he never
came back. But some surveyors who
were mapping out grants in the
area told of meeting him, and of

Senator Scott Hits
Brief Case Farmers
Washington, January 25 Sena
tor W. Kerr Scott introduced legis
lation today aimed at "brief-case"
farmers.
According to Scott, the bill would
"put an end to the government pay
ing for fancy gentleman farming
operations" by amending the In
ternal Revenue Code.
An identical companion bill was
offered in the House by Rep. Char
les B. Deane of the 8th District of
North Carolina.
"Under existing law," Scott said,
"it is permissible to deduct up to
$50,000 i year in farm operation loss
es from other income. This simply
means that people with high incom
es can operate farms on an ex
pense account basis strictly as a
hobby or as a means of getting
around income tax laws."
Scott said "there is no way of
knowing how many hobby farms
have been bought and operated un
der this loophole in the law, but
I am confident that the number is
unreasonably high. In almost every
community there are several farms
with absentee ownership. Many of
them are run strictly on the side
by people who don't even pretend
to be farmers."
Scott said his bill would not af
fect farms already in operation,
"but it would make it a lot more
difficult to set up expense account
farms in the future."
The Scott measure would reduce
the amount of allowable deductions
of farm operating costs from other
income from $50,000 a year to $5,000
a year.

QUESTION: " Can Tar Heel egg
producers compete with producers
in other states?
ANSWER: Yes. if our hens aver-
aged , 220 eggs per year we could
ship eggs to any state and make a
profit. Some states sending eggs to
North Carolina have already passed
an annual rate of lay of 200 eggs
per hen. The average for the U. S. in
1954, was 184 eggs per hen.
QUESTION: Should a newly .
planted apple tree be pruned at
planting time?
ANSWER: Ves. It should be
pruned when it is planted or at
least before growth starts in the
rpring. The reason is that the root
system has been materially reduced
in size and volume by the digging

ANSWER: By spraying in the fall
and repeating in late winter or ear-

will make a satisfactory spray: one

said. They 'can be found In farms

VA's follow-up study was' made
to find out what happened to disab

It covered a representative
Ung of the 600,000 disabled World

The work record of veterans with
heart and circulatory conditions has
paralleled tl)e record of veterans

The proportion holding jobs was
about the same for both groups
