New Year noise and celebrating js at a minimum Monday night, w if any intoxixcated revelers »re to be seen on the streets the towns and parties were more less confined to the circles of e younger set. However, in view of the fairly me celebration, the Carolina leatre at Chapel Hill enjoyed e of its best midnight-show uses in several years. There was a small amount of 11-ringing- and whistle-blowing the University town and even ss in Hillsboro, according to ob rvers, most of whom admitted iving retired at a disgustingly irly hour. A few firecrackers were be heard, but not enough to taken anybody’s dead. Orange county citizens seemed reverence ■ rather than to cele ste this New Year, which., it Quid appear, is well in ith a newly gained and hara on peace. - « The Little Fellow ~ 1946 ★ ★ ★ From all of us to all of you, The News joins “The Little Fellow” in wishing a belated but heartfelt "Happy New Year.” In this first peaceful January in longer than we like to remember, it will be .well for us to think often on Tennyson’s lines, “Ring out the old: ring in tpenew. Ring out the false: ring in the true. . . All of us, I believe, did just that this year. Now it should be our goal to keep the - slate as clean of unworthy thoughts and deeds as is humanly possible. We have a big job ahead of us in 1946 but, by Working together, <we^should be able to . present a pretty respectable record to Father Time by January 1, 1947.

Lynch, clerk in charge, said that, receipts for. the quarter ending December 1945 were behind those for the same period during 1944. She gave a£ the reason for this the decrease in the amount of over seas mail handled there this past Christmas. Both Mr. Hogan and Mrs. Lynch wish to thank Orange county citi zens for mailing Christmas' cards and packages earlier than usual this past December. They report ed that the last-minute mailing rush was rfce^t to a minimum and that, so far as they knew, all pack ages were received on time. Claude T.

County Agent’s News - Views DAIRY 8HORT COURSE “ TO BE HELD Beginning January 14 and last ing eight weeks, or through March 1, 1946, the Department of Ani mal Industry at State College will give an intensive course in dairy production. This course is open to anyone with a good secondary education and over 16 years of age. The cost is very nominal. This is the first year since the war that short courses have been held arid it is open to only 25 men. Interested parties should con tact Don S. Matheson, county agent, at their earliest opportunity. POULTRY SITUATION NOT BRIGHT Q; Many poultry producers are con fused at the present. Demand for poultry products has decreased rapidly since the army has stop ped buying such large supplies. Meats are beginning to be more plentiful on the market and feeds are scarce and the quality of some poultry feeds might not be as high as desirable. It is anticipated that a large number of servicemen coming home will go into the poul- \ try business within the next twelve months. All this adds up to the fact that some adjustments will have to be made in our poultry plans this year. In some few cases there is rocWr Thf* expansion in poultry production, especially in the case of commercial egg production, where a definite local market is available; however, in general this is not the time to increase poultry production. Poultry producers al ready in. the business should con tinue to cull closely and let ef fficiency in management be their Watchword. ~ ’Grange County poultrymen can do a lot by increasing their home raised grain feeds.
