5-7rKii«_' '-> • r: THE NEWS-JOURNAL, BAEFOBD, N. C. POOLE’SJIEDLEY By D. SCOTT POOLE A clamor has been raised to make Douglas MacArthur, the hero of the Philippines, be made commander of tt»e Allied forces of democracy, and we Second the motion. Were it left to a vote General MacArthur would ^t 90 per cent of the vote in Amer ica. I have just read the story of “The Xing of Scuffl'etown” by one John Paul Lucas, and I must say I do not see how any writer can say so much with so little truth. He lauds Henry Berry Lowery, and slanders the good people of Robeson. When we have a bad cold, we say we have the worst cold we ever had, Anything bad is the worst we ever saw. Some one said, “nothing is so bad that it might have been worse. Either statement may be imtrue. Webster’s Blueback Speller says “Anything is worth what it will bring.” That is not true, for liquor sells at a dollar a pint, or higher, is absolutely worthless to a large ma jority of people. Many other thmgs bring a great deal more than they are worth. There were two men in Asheboro, or near that resort town, 3 years ago who were 6 feet 8 inches tall. One weighed 180 pounds, the other 350 pounds. The one who weighed 180 looked taller than the one who weigh ed 350. Wealth accumulates in the improve ments of properties, and in the grow ing of crops, and the conversion of crude materials into things ready for hiiipan uses. The greatest loss to Norfii Carolina came when she ex changed her growth of tine longleaf pine timber for rations while it was being cut. We read of boys graduating,, from college at the age of fifteen of six teen in the olden dajrs. The course must have been diorter dian a col lege course in our day. However, scholars of an earlier period certain ly knew more of the classics. There are few people now who know any thing of '“the dead languages.” Davy Crodcett said he “didn’t know apy dead language, and was a little bit shMcy rai livin’ ones. “Those old pioneers were not scholars, but they were brave men, and honest”. The moeli valuable diuniHid may be found the roogbesit oyster.*^ The Legislature of 1041 passed a law providing all state employes peh sions after they reach the age of 65, and never were there half so many at cHice as there are at this time, and the number is increasing daily. This law should be repealed. Ibe Ideal Place. A moimtain man who rarely, if ev er, visited a town of any size, came to a city with his son. Climbing out of their car on one of the main streets, the old man ap peared fascinated by the pavement. He scraped his feet on the hard surface, and turning to his son, re marked: “I don’t scarcely blame ’em for building a town here. The ground is tod goldamed hard to plow, any how.” Inquiring Friend—“Was your un^ cle in his right mind when he died?’ Poor Relation—“We can’t tell about that, of course, until we. hear his will read.” Charges Of Mattress Manufacturers Ass’n Are Not True Tbeare.was but one mill on Drown ing ere^ since my. day although there were a number on tributaries of ttiat stream, three once were in op- eratum on adjoining farms on the west, side of that stream. ibllowing the Civil War, small country stores were opened in almost every community. Some of these proqiered, but the larger portion of them closed after their owners had wasted money in an effort to be mer- 9iants. The country was supplied with mao by carriers, either in buggies, art$ . or on hot^ack. Daily mail ^ Clark’s Mills, one going to Car thage to Keyser Tuesday, and in Aiwdton, (in Montgomery copdlyii Wednesday, and the same yhedidp rqieated other three days bf the The carrier made less than $1.50 ^ day. Interviewed yesterday, regarding the statements, given to the press this week by the N. ^J^^,Mattress Manufac turers associatii^ charging that blind workershops offered unfair compe tition, Roma Cheek, Executive ^fidy of the Commission, stated that this charge was not supported by facts. The total new and renovated mat tresses sold in 1941 by all workshops for the blind totaled only 10,557 as compared to 693,500 sold or made in the state by seeing mattress firms. Thus, the total competition is only about one per cent which cannot ef fect the market. Mattresses made by the workshops are at all times sold at the average market price of the area. Dr. Cheek said that this was a matter of ne cessity as well as principle because blind workers produce much fewer mattresses per hour than seeing workers, making it necessary to pay higher piece-work wages. Also, the 4 small workshops buy in such small quantities that they cannot secure the best prices. Any' under-bidding and under selling has been the other way. Dr. Cheek stated. Even on State In^tu- tion work whidi the mattress manu facturers have said publicly they were anxiovis for the workshops to do, the workshf^ have becsi repeatedly un der-bid. (^position from the Mattress Manufactiaers AssociatiiHi is not a new tiling. Dr. CheA said. Since the first mattress was made by a blind workshop in 1935, there has been op- p(»ition and orgamized effort to pre vent the blind lyorkshops from do ing any wholesale or retail trading. Such a limitation. Dr. Cheek pointed out, would take away the right of blind per^le to employment It would be gros^ unfair to dose tire door of employment to blind citizens because they were unfortunate enough to loose their vision. This would be treating the blind person much worse than a criminal because the state, in the performance of its ri^tful duty, helps the criminal to secure and keep employm^t after he elaves prison. The Jsips captured Singapore Sun day, Feb. isth. Since Singapore has faUn, the Japanese government is put in a statement saying, that they mean to utterly destroy both the ynited States and England: “Scions of a mighty stock Hands of Iron, hearts of oak, Follow with unflinching tred. Where the noble fathers led.” SHORTAGE. A survey of implement dealers in Halifax county revealed that the most acute shortage at the present time is in plow points and repair parts for disc harrows. Marines Captured 12,626 U. S. Marines of the Second Div ision helped capture 12,026 prisoners in World war 1, one fifth of the total number captured by the entire A. E. F. Third Of f C. FamBRdsmg No Hogs Southerners have a reputation for eating more than our proportionate share of pork. Yet, says Prof. Earl H. Hostetler, State College animal husbandman, the 1940 census showed that 86,604 of the 278,276 farms in North Carolina were raising no hogs. Pork is one of the most important of the “Victory Foods”. “Pigs reproduce more rapidly, and can furnish the family table with a greater quantity^ tasty products in a shorter time/tnan any of the other farm animals,” Prof. Hostetler declar ed. “Then, too, the initial cost of the pig is low; it wUl eat and utilize a wide variety of feeds, and will’ do equally as well when fed alone or with a group of other pigs.” The State College leader says these are some of the reasons why a farmer with only a few acres of land can produce bis own supply of pork, and thereby contribute to the “Food for Victory” program by relieving other producers who are equipped for the commercial production of beef, lamK milk and other livestock products. This will also relieve transportation and storage facilities for other pur poses. 1 ' Hostetler says that swine can be raised far more rapidly and economi cally now than formerly, due to more vigorous, prolific breeding stock and more knowledge of the value of san itary management and efficient food- ing. “Good pasture, clean Water find sanitary quarters are all very impor tant in hog production,” the animal husbandman declared. “Experience also has proved that it usually pays to full-feed pigs from the time they begin to eat until they ue marketed or slaughtered. Of course a balanced ration is imperative. Cotton seed meal is one of the best) protein sup plements.” LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF SUBIHONS BY FUBUCATION POULTRY.

(36-39-(MCD) Our country is suffering from a peace-policy of twenty years ago. Christian people believe in peace, and crave it above all things, but all intelligent people everywhere should be privileged and ready to fight Sa- ten and his hosts any minute. The Japs were ready. They lied all the way through about what they 'had. They are dishonest and decep itive rabove mesure. Three of Germany’s most formida ble battleships, which bad been hot tied up at Brest, France, steamed out Into the English Channel last Friday and .passed through the Straits of Do^ and into a safe harbor in Ger- jian territory. The British attacked the fieeing ships, with land, sea and aiimft, but the Germans escaped unhurt. It is going in news circles that the Japs only have 600,000 soldiers in -all tills fighting, 200,000 of these in the Philiifines. But they captured ;BioQg 'Ko^ and it was published then that the Jape had a million and half men tiiere. 1 do net'know of anything I regret *iDote than- tbe fact Congress has vo ted to pay lis members pensions, rniey are gteed^ like the laborers , who have heenafaiking for morejiay, viifilk foe threatens our ■very tpdsteooe.
