Second Class Mail Matter at the Post Office at FanxviDe, N. G, ' Act of March Srd. 1S7S. We know who bosses the men, but who bosses the women? Health is the major asset of all of as today, worth more than all our property. There's no place left on this earth at this time where a man can go and get away from it all. Now is the time when the old-fash ioned family man can torn his thrift speeches into patriotic lectures. Nobody's so old or cynical but that he wants to live to see how this cur rent unpleasantness turns out. We always felt we would have to face a day of solemn reckoning, but we never expected a day like the one we are now living in. A long Sunday's rest in bed at home—if you can get it — just as good as a week's rest in a strange bed in a strange town a thousand or more miles from home. Nobody ever accomplished anything who was half-hearted, and that's why it was so heartening when this nation, threw its full might, without a single reservation, into this war. It's downright cruel to contemplate a big time executive going home and being bawled out by his frail wife for some trifling oversight like forgetting to tell her hell be out of the city the evening of the dinner she's already planned. •: MAT BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE Perhaps it is not true patriotism to make a pleasure of necessity, but it is a fact that there is no hardship in doing most of the things we have So far been asked to do, as civilians and householders, in this war. Most of us have king prayed that the time would come when it would cease to be fashionable to keep up with the Joneses. We have wanted to reduce our standard at living be cause its maintenance took so much of our time and energy that we could not enjoy our so-called blessings. We resented the idea o? trading in automobiles and household utilities, at heavily depreciated prices, when they were nearly as good m new. We couldn't understand why styles in clothing and other things dunged as often as the film at the neighborhood movie theatre. We couldn't reconcile oureetyfe to tfifi habits attitudes of ^ young er generation, bat to make a stand against tbe trend waa a lonely, if not impossible, job. Bp Now, suddenly taxes make thrift imperative and the purchase of war l l_ ■ iL tfi a oanas mitt mper-tfirixt compulsory. For two decades We have told our selves that we should walk men, find elude: (I) Terrace ateep land or land that washes; (1) plant row crop* on the contour; (S) do not nut row crops up and down the hiQs; (4) protect your woodland from fife; (6) use strip-cropping wherever pos sible; («) save all homo-frown sssd if possible; aad (7) drain farm land when this is needed. "The farmers have been assigned a vital role in the war," said Meach am, "but they cant afford to waste their soil as was done in many cases during the last war. The United Nations expect the farmers of the United States to grow enough soy bean and peanut oil to fill tank can to reach all the way across the coun try and back; to produce enough 10 gallon cans of milk to build 26 pyra mids the sise of the great pyramid of Egypt; enough hogs to make a solid procession, two ■ breast, snout to tail, clear around the world; and enough egga so that if you broke one every second, it would take 1,600 years to break them all. It em be done, and it will be done, and there is no need to destroy the soil in. the doing." Farmers Must Get Along Without Burlap Bagging Farmers will have to depend large ly on bagB made of substitutes for burlap, on odd-eize bags, and on re use of old bags for handling their crops this year, reports John W. Goodman, assistant director of the State Extension Sendee. He says that due to the war emergency, there will be no more heavyweight burlap for agricultural bags this year. "Consequently," said Goodman, "it is essential for farmers to plan for greater use of cotton and paper bags. In many cases it will be necessary that farmers use unusual or odd shaped bags. In order to meet war time requirements, textile mills are finding it necessary to weave fabrics of certain widths and con struction® not generally used by agricultural bag manufacturers." The Extension official said far mers also will find that the cotton bags will cost more than burlap bags; however, there appears to be no alternative except to pay a higher price for the substitute bagB, in order to insure safe storage and transpor tation of agricultural commodities. "Part of this difference in price can be overcome by getting maximum use out of all old bags now on the farm," Goodman suggested. "Re-use of burlap and other bags on hand, and can of new cotton bags for later re-use, is an important parrt of the whole situation." Immediately after Pearl Harbor it was apparent that the burlap supply would be insufficient for both civilian and military use. On December 22, the War Production Board issued an order allocating two-thirds of all bur lap imports to military uses,, with one-third to be used for agricultural bags. Agricultural bags requiring lightweight burlap are now available in small quantities for a short .time, possibly as late as December, 1942. State College Hints For Farm Homemakers The Food and Nutrition Board at the National Research Council has started a campaign to obtain the en richment of all white bread and flour by September 1, 1942. Farm home makera can' help in this program by demanding enriched flour and bread of their local millers and grocers. The enrichment of white flour and its products is sought" in the interest of improving diet, health and effici Mr. and M». Paul Craft visited Mr. and Mrs. Jack TBomas, of near Snow Hill Sunday.

"We have been a pleasure-loving peoidv didSnoring God's day, pic nicking and bathing. Now the sea shores are barred, no picnics or battl ing. We have prefered motor travel to spiritual growth. * Now there is a shortage of motor fori. We have ignored the ringing of church beilg calling us to worship. Now no bells ring except to warn of an invasion. We have left the churches half empty when they should have been filled with worshipers. Now the churches are in ruins. We would not listen to the way of peace. Now we are forced to listen to the ways of war. The money we would not give to the Lord's work is now taken from' us in taxes and higher prices. The food for which we forgot to say thanks is now unobtainable. The service God required from us is now conscripted for the Country. Lives we refused to live under nted from a London News in 0. E. . - i , „ , „ More Sugar To Be Made Available For Canning Sugar rationing-regulations hay been amended to make more sugar available for home canning, reports Mrs. Cornelia kiorris, Extension food conservationist of N. C. State Col lege. Each family will be allowed one pound of sugar for each four quarte of finished fruit they have to can. Mrs. Morris also said an additional pound of sugar for each person in the family will be allowed to make a small supply of jhms, jellies and fruit butters. "A family will be per mitted to can all the finished fruit it needs," she declared. IS Families should apply to their rationing boards forextra sugar with which to can. The person making application for a Sugar Canning Cer tificate will be required to answer these questions: (1) How many quarts of fruits did you can last year? (2) How many quarts of fruit do you plan to can this year? and (3) How many quarts of last year's fruit do you still have on your pan try shelf, The Extension worker said that every jar of home-canned fruit leaves a can'of commercially-packed fruit for our armed forces and our Allies. Every jar of fruit put up leaves a little more freight space to carry war materials. "Our sugar supplies must be used carefully," Mrs. Morris emphasised. "Submarine'warfare and the need for ships to carry war materials mean that imports of sugar will be far be low normal. Every boatload of sugar that is shipped endangers the lives of American seamen. Ask only for as much as you really need." t Mrs. Morris said that it requires 2V4 pounds of sugar to can a bushel of apples, from 2 to 2% poundf of sugar for a bushel of peaches, 2 to 2% pounds for a bushel of pears,! lMf pounds for a quart of berries, and 1% to 1% pounds of sugar for a quart of cherries.
