Recently he was the subject of a lengthy and laudatory article regarding his activities in The Patriot Farmer, state farm journal, which was later reprinted in the Spotted Poland China Bulletin, a trade paper for that phase of the swine raising industry. Barnes described his plans for making Orange County the Spotted Poland China breeding center of the state. T^&y sounded so good that a read er in*far-away Sacramento, Cali fornia, who apparently knows and loves the swine business, has de veloped a yearning to move to Orange County. R. R. Ross, after reading , the article, promptly sat down that very night, according to his letter, and drbpped Barnes a note say ing “I am an experienced hog man and a Spotted.Poland China boost er, and I would like to locate down in your old tobacco state. I would prefer to have a job on a good hog farm for a year before I buy j my own place to learn the ways of the country.” He then dis cusses in detail a new kind of “dandy” hog trough that a hog cannot get his feet in and upset and ehded up with a plea for Barnes to put him in touch with somebody here who “can use a! good^hog man.” % P. S. He also wants a copy of1 that Patriot Farmer which wrote up Mr. Barnes as such a “swell guy." If anybody needs a good hbg' man, Mr, Barnes would like toj know about it so the word can1 be; passed on to the Californian: who wants td come to Orange I County. I ^Chancellor Robert B.

At least 5 more carloads - are to ,be shipped, making a total „ of 52 carloads of food shipped " from North Carolina farms and towns to our brothers overseas. 1,500 carloads went out from 24 states during the Christmas pe riod. At least 500 more are ex pected . “In terms of cold figures,” Rev. McLain said, “this is what North Carolina and the nation have ac complished through CROP. The meaning, how'ever, of this national gM* Jo oar neighbors overseas- is inestimable. It will mean health again to children dying of tuber- . culosis. To displaced persons, wandering across Europe home less, without food, and without hope, it will mean a warm bowl of soup, a nourishing bun, and cheer in a cheerless world. To thousands dragging themselves from task to task by, sheer effort • ----- of will, it will mean restoration of life’s energies. In millions who participate in the giving and in the receiving across the world, the spirit of, brotherhood will be quickened anew. Through the love and the humanitarian concern expressed in this gift many will be brought to exclaim, “God has not forsaken us!” I feel sure that the realization of what your work in making this gift possible means to thousands of men will be a continuing source of joy to you in the days to come. y
