m ■# ;• ■ \.V , Twa iina Power and laght Co. Cooperating iWidi The R. E. A. t* •’i —— ,/ *011 Auisust 9 I sent you a message l|Aating that the Carolina Power and ' Li^t company had constructed a six iaile spite line in Hoke coimty. The -power company immediacy protest ed and denied this. I ordered an immediate and exhaustive investiga' tion, sending a special representative to North Carolina to determine what tte facts were and are. This inves- liCBtion disclosed that my earlier mes sage was not based on present facts. The Carolina Power and Light com pany has lately followed a policy of cooperation with REA financed co operatives which I wish all power companies would adopt My charges were unjust to the power company. Needless to say, I greatly regret that they were made. I am issuing this correction to let the people of North Carolina know that our earlier bul letin was in error. My charges were made on the basis of reports of field representatives and appeared to be substantiated by an examination of our files in Washington. The field reports were submitted on the basis of very incomplete information, and the files contain too much material on an earlier period in which the company did oppose REA develop ment, and far too little concerning toe new policy adopted by the com pany on the basis of the knowledge which both the power company and REA gained from the earlier en counters. During the fortnight since V my earlier message to you, and with out consultation with REA, the Car olina Power and Light company has continued its policy of active coope ration without change. For this I want to express my sincere thanks.” INCOME Cash income from the sale of %■ American-farm products in Septem ber and October is expected to total close to $2,000,000,000, predicts the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Econom ics. POOLE'S MEDLEY By D. SCOTT POOLE I do not remember very mudi a- bout the seasons in my earlier years, but since I was seven years old, I have a fairly good recollection of the exceptional weather freaks, any way. The Confederate army p^sed our place in March, 1865. Quite a good bit of rain fell during that March, and the marching cavalry and artillery made the roads almost impassable. I remember a snow in March, 1864, that just about buried the lane fences on each side of the Morganton road that passed our house. 1866 was not so rainy as 1865, but more rain came in 1867. The seasons were nor mal in 1868, ’69 and 1870, but 1871 was the dryest year we ever had in our section.

There were no mills except those on the streams throughout the country, and some failed altogether, but Drowning Creek was one as nearly never-failing as I have ever known, and Jesse Thomas, who o-wned a mill on Drowning Creek seven miles from its soiprce, knew how to get the most of the water that passed. He never -ran his head of water too low, for the thirsty earth would take up tod* much if you ran it below a certain stage. V: All the corn mills in our section had bolting chests, well made boxes of dressed lumber, in which a cylin drical revolving frame, over which muslin cloth was tacked, through which the flour from wheat was bolted, turned by hand. When the side of that chest was opened there lay the flour like driven snow. I never understood why the flour thus made did not make whiter bread. The bran from this bolting chest poured from a spout at the opposite end from which the man stood who turned the log sifter within the bolting chest. The end bf the bank of flour within the bolting chest was cut off for “shorts” and put in with the ban. The flour was put in a perfectly clean bag. The bag in which the wheat was carried to mill became the bran-shorts bag on the return trip. One year during the 70’s there was a rain came every Friday night, after supper, between the hours of eight and twelve for six or seven weeks. As a rule, itewas always too wet to plow Saturdays, bi^t was dry enough to plow Mondays. I have never seen another year like that. There was rio rain at all ex cept those Friday night thunder showers. “What will you take for that broad-faced chicken on the fence?” asked an Irishman who was passing a farmhouse. “That’s not a chicken; that’s an owl,” said the farmer. “I do not care how owled he is, I want him,” said the Irishman. * Too often a crossing is a meeting place of lightheads and headlights. Attention to trifles makes perfec tion, but perfection is no trifle. Football fan: “What does ‘non- transferable’ on the ticket mean?’ Feshman: “It means than no person will be admitted to any game, un less he comes himself.” “The same tornado that blew away my father’s wagon, dumped an au tomobile in our front yard.” “That was no tornado; that was a trade wind.” Since wires have been strung all over this country, there has nbt been so much nor so heavy thimder- storms; still proportionately, there are more deaths by lightning — or we SUBSTITUTE tWliaisortof home couldyou re-build after Afire?

They Say /^ut These Cookies THURSDAY, SEPT. 12th. 1946 Y^OOKIES you can seiwe with fruit ^ for dessert, or for uiTbetween snacks, are a summer “must.” And cookie recipes that can be stirred up in a twinkle are a find. To aid your knack for making cook ies fast, use the new self-rising flour which cuts sifting and measuring time in hall. All you do is combine this new self-rising flour wito fat, sugar, eggs, milk, and flayofmg and your cookies are ready for the oven. They’re more economical, too, for a high grade alow acting baking po^er is already mixed into the flpyr.'''' . For a good combination, try lemon cookies and walnut rocks, as fol lows: Lemon Cookies.

What the neighbors told us was all we heard. “This is our fifth cup, sir,” said the waiter; “you must be fond of coffee.” “I am, or I wouldn’t drink so much hot water to get-a little.” 1865, 1867. 1882, 1886, 1901, 1908, 1924, 192^,-1929 were wet years; 1871, 1911, 1925, and all the years since 1930 were more or less dry, however some communities suffered from drought, but what is true of one community may be untrue of an other fifty miles away. Since ni trate of soda has been used as a fer tilizer, droughts have been offset to a large'degree. The German air raids on London have been numerous and destuctive. The Germans are relentless, merci less and savage. Death is preferable to German government. A German, who, came to this state in 1912, and is now a good citizen of Alamance county, says the German people will starve in thousands this winter. All Germans are not bad, and it is the easiest thing in the world for us to be unjust to that nationality. Just beyond Rennert, there 1$ a desert—a swamp nine miles around. Three miles from Rennert, at the east end of this desert there was for many years a grist mill. There is almost any kind of rurbearing ani mal in that swamp, and alligators. And, it is a great place for huc^l^ berries. It is possible toe Germans apd Japanese may gain supremacy o^er all the earth. If they do it will not be for a long period of time. It is. all a scourge. being sent to cleanse the world of sin. I am not disturbed over the outlook. I know there are not people bn earth to give me a licking I’ll take. Nearly everybody else is just like me.
