Food Conservation
Demonstrations To
Be Held In County
"The message of how to save food
will soon be on its way to every
home in Hoke County," Vocational
Home Economics Teachers, the Farm
Security Home Supervisor and the
Home Demonstration Agent are join
ing together with the County Civiilan
Defense Nutrition Committee for a
food conservation program for the
entire county. These home econo
mists plan to carry information in
to every section of the county so that
homemakers both in town and on the
farm may join in a program of food
saving which is so vital now.
Tuesday, March 23, a "Food Pre
servation Workshop" will be con.
ducted in the Hoke High School
Home Economics Department by
Miss Elsie Yarborough, DLtrict
Farm Security Home Supervisor.
This meeting will be attended by all
professionally trained Home Econo
mists in the county. This includes
both white and negro workers.
On March 24, the second day, the
workshop will be for zone and block
leaders of the town, farm neighbor
hood leaders and Food Conservation
leaders in Homo Demonstration
Clubs. Miss Yarbowner will give the
demonstrations on the second day
also. Plans will be made at the first
day's organization to reach rural
families and to help sector leaders
get their groups organized. On the
second day, plans will be made to
reach the town families.
The canned food budget, canning
equipments, methods of canning, im
portance of safe methods, operation
of the pressure canner, home drying
of fru'ts and vegetables, preservat
ion by salting and brining as well
as problems in canning will be dis
cussed at the workshop.
Food Conservation leaders, both in
town and in the country, who are
notified of the meeting by the Off ce
of Civilian Defense are urged to at
tend. Professional nutritionists in
Hoke County are few and there must
be a vanguard of willing workers
ready to do the task ahead.
A State-wide Food Conservation
Workshop was held in Raleigh on
March 5 and 6th. All food production
and conservation agencies in the
state were represented at this meet
ing. This is the first time in the his
tory of the state that all organizat
ions have worked together to put
over a coordinated program of Food
Conservation that will jvach ever
fanrly in the state, with uniform in
formation. At the meeting, Govenor
Broughton stated that this is not a
matter of patriotism, but of grim nec
essity, not a matter of volunteering
but of dedication. It should stir the
pride of every North Carolinian that
our state is taking the lead in a mat
ter so vital in the present emergency.

POOLE'S MEDLEY
By D. SCOTT POOLE
ALL
SUBSCRIPTIONS MUST
BE PAID
The amount of News print (pa

many people who subscribed

It is reported that the British
have dropped 15,000 tons of explo
sives on German territory in 1941-,
and 30,000 tons in 1942 so it can be
imagined the damage done. Thank
God we have escaped the ravages of
bombs.
For centuries after this war ends,
if and when it ends, the salvaging of
the seas are Utterly cluttered up with
sunken ships.
The greatest feared instrument of
destruction in time of the first World
War was the Whisbangs, large can
non shell. When a shell hit the ground
and exploded, it tore a hole in the
earth thirty or forty feet deep and
fifty feet long.
But those cannon shots have been
enlarged and the bombs dropped
from the air and the number of can
non has been increased.
The airsh ps, bombers are added
to the cannon. There are no fewer
cannon I suppose. All I know is what
I see in the papers. I never expect
to get near enough to know much
about them.
I asked in time of the World War
I. are those handgrenades very de
structive? and the fellow I was talk
ing with said, I was told during the
first World War that a bunch of sold
iers had a handgrenade, and were
looking at it, examining ot, when it
exploded, and cf the soldiers around

several were killed and a larger num
ber badly wounded.
Some folk's minds run toward do
stiuctive things. When I was a boy
I read of several anarchists who were
plotting the destruction of Chicago,
who were arrested and imprisoned,
and one of them made a small bit of
explosive not larger than a pinhead
cracked it between his teeth, and
blew the top of his head off. He did
this because he knew he would be
convicted and hanged.
Death by hanging was the method
of capitally punishing case criminals
until recent years was by hanging by
the neck, until dead. Great crowds
attended these hangings, when they
were public, and about half of them
were public.
I have heard of the rope breaking
and the criminal would jump up he
ITt the ground, and say: Now you
know I am not guilty, the sheriff
would get another rope and finish
him.
Any grain wasted in alcoholic
drinks is wasted, for any and all are
better off without any. Even were a
person snake bit there are better
remedies than liquor.
No one feels mole independed
man one who furnishes his own
foods, meat and bread. It is possible
each family can have plenty of food
of their own growing, provided they
plant and cultivate.
I will be sorry to hear of any per.
son's being hungry are starving to
perhaps, if they are unable to labor
with their own hands, but such as
are lazzy and improvident I little
sympathy if any, if and when they
are hungry.
The price of milk, 17 cents per
quart, is high. Both beef and pork
both are too high as they now sell.
But I hope the prices will be held
within reason. When the price of
beef or pork passes 60 cents, it is
out of bounds for me.
Governor Issues
Statement On Farm
Labor Problem
The farm labor problem was quite
serious last year and the indications
are that it will be so critical this
year as to jeopardize even our nat
ional safety. Throughout the nation
there is grave concern about the pro
duction of essential food and feed
crop. North Carolina, which ranks
among the first four state in the
rolume of its agricultural product
ion, will feel this situation very
acutely.
Undoutedly we should plan now to
coordinate the efforts of every state
agency in order to solve this vital
problem. Furthermore, we should
seek to cooperate with every federal
agency dealing with this all-impor
tant question. However, we cannot
sit down and wait for Washington
to settle our farm problems for us.
To do so may involve us in a very
serious predicament.
In order to give to this subject
immediate and thorough study as
well as prompt and coordinated ef
fort, I have today appointed a special
commisiioii un i'arm labor, consisting
of heads and representatives of var
ious agricultural agencies together
with farm leaders in the present
General Assembly and the state at
large, this commission held its first
meeting m my oltice Tuesday morn
ing, March 9, at 10 o'clock.
Also, I have arranged for Mi-
Harry Caldwell, of Guilford County,
Master of the State Grange, lo give
his full time for the six or eight
months to the program that will be
outlined by the farm labor commiss
ion. Mr. Caldwell has obtained a
temporary leave of absence from the
Grange in order to serve as State
Farm Manpower Director during the
period of this emergency. He has
for a number of years been recog
nized as an outstanding leader among
the agricultural forces of North Caro
lina. His headquarters during the
period of this emergency assignment
will be in Raleigh.
