PAUL DICKSON, filltor »iiA PBMiiter Entered as second-class mail kBaUa* at the post office at Raeford, N. C., under Act of Hard! 3, ISTQ.' MOKE ABOUT Philosopher sis which made it absolutely nec essary that the interest of the people be directed to the good i.. things at home. "Live-at-Home", the Governor said, “is an apt, short, suggestive slogan adapt ing old notions to new problems.” Governor and Mrs. Gardner invited all the newspaper men aiia women in the State to come to the Mansion in Raleigh and eat an oldfashioned North Car- . olina dinner with them. More . than.^ three hundred miles away in'the mountains a county news- papilr editor went home to the mid-day meal and said to his w^: “The Governor and hfs Lady have invited me to come Raleigh and have dinner with them, something about ‘live-at- home’ products. They say I can bring one of my staff with me, so I guess you and I are going.’ Two hundred newspaper men and women came. The Home ft Dtemonstration Agents of State College assisted Mrs. Gardner in the planning, organizing, and serving of far.r turkeys; peanut fed pork-ham; mountain kraut; Southern yams; scuppernong jhice; grade A milk-all home grown products; pies and cakes as variable as the sections in the State fro.m which they came; and peaches, cucumbers, and arti chokes pickled in apple vinegar. I gained 141- it, Card tables and folding chairs placed all over the Mansion and the guests were served "blue- ricultural economic classes. Some thou^t it pointed back to the days of barter and others to the days of the cave man. Not too many of the type now called “Bureaucrats” reasoned that every Governor must have ’his day. They recalled others who had ballahooed about sorne pet pro ject; and they confided that the best policy was to “go along”, get all the appropriations poss ible, place a few flowers from the Experiment Station in the Mansion, dedicate a farm bulletin to the Chief Executive and soon he would be so involved with executive duties and party jea lousies that his hobby would be lost in the shuffle. This was not the case, however, and they soon joined wholeheartedly with the Governor and the press in believing that North Carolina could produce enough food and feed to lift the i^urden O'f charge accounts for our “’cash crop” of cotton, peaanuts., and tobacco. O. Ma.\ Gardner's experiences as a member of the Executive Co:r.mittee of the Agricultural College and as a i.ember of the Board of Agriculture gave him « personal acquaintance with many men and women and an intimate knowledge of their prob lems in the State, thus giving him an advantage that no other governor had enjoyed and aiding him in promoting a program to coordinate their efforts. Scientific facts were important to the “Live-at-Home” Program, and school and institutional feed ing was based upon the nutritive value of foods. While the experts talked in terms of calories and vitamins, the Governor’s “Live- at-Hoipe” Program was carried into the public schools in the terms of a quart of milk and an egg for every (X|iild to build bone and teeth, and leafy vegetables for the bloom in their cheeks. Farm management was based very largely on the daily prac tices ot successful farmers; but feeds, seed, and fertilizers were approved on the formulas based upon scientific facts. The Gov ernor organized by law the Seed Improvement Association. He recognition lor purebred sires as of economic importance equal to that of good roads. With in a few years we had a net gain Lond»i? It will be what Gard ner has always done in America- apply his homespun philosophies to all problems both large and small. 0 MORE ABOUT Poole’s Medley than the great statesmen of the political organization, which have already done more for those who produce the wealth of the coun try than the later foreign born element whose views are clouded by selfish motives engendered by hatreds born in minds embitter ed by. unjust treatment of imper ial selfishness. The world’s safest, and I may say only hope, is in a democracy of the people, by the people and for the people. Thus the people are honestly guided. The first term of superior court held in Hoke County was presid ed over by Judge Whedby, who came here and held a term of court in the summer of 1911, in Raeford Institute auditorium. John Hector Smith, the first Register of Deeds, resigned be fore he had served a year. John McNair and Arch McNair served as Register of Deeds during the first and second terms of that office. A term was two years. January of 1871 was much like this month. There was one Wednesday that was as fair and sunshiney a day as ever was. Th'e other thirty days were cloudy and foggy. So much being said about 1871 was the reason I re member it, I think. MORE ABOUT SCHOOL NEWS class.

This was not a speech making affair. Governor and Mrs. Gafdner welcomed the guests and each one was given so r e facts about the “Live-at-Home” Pro gram. ' ■' In the weeks that followed, many newspapers wrote their own stories about “Live-at- Home”. The State Press Asso ciation gave their cooperation. Some papers carried as an em- •blem throughout Gardner’s ad- Kiinstration a map of the State with the words “Live-at-Home” inscribed thereon. “Live - at - Home” dinners were held in schools and colleges. Civic Clubs were served with ho.r.e products only ■ and favors were those of local manufacturers. Thousands of young fathers and mothers in the shops and farms of North Carolina today are the boys and girls of 1930, 1931, and 1932 who wrote the essays in the “Live-at-Home” Program that are now filed in three large vol umes w’ith the Governor’s papers in the Hall of History. ' The new Governor’s philoso phies and his slogan “Live-at- Home” came in for a good many gibes from more sensitive per sonnel in social-planning and ag growing in the State and 83,333 more garden acres on the farms. Also, there was an increase of 15 per cent in all livestock. Politics and racial prejudice did not enter into the “Live-at- Home"’ Program. The Governor’s picture made with a little color ed girl w’ho had won a “Live-at- Home” essay contest in the school w'as given the same publicity as that with the white child. The Republican Secretary of Agriculture in the days of the Farm Board was invited to Nor th Carolina and a Field Day was held at the State-owned Cale donia Prison Farm where the “Live-atHome” policy had re duced the seven thousand acres of corn and cotton into fields of potatoes and sorghunr and alfalfa and beans with just enough cotton and corn remaining to feed a thousand live animals and bal ance the diet for eight hundred prisoners. The Secretary of Ag riculture endorsed the Governor’s “Live-at-Home” Program and the Governor pledged the State to cooperate with the Secretary’s Farm Board at Washington.

V of the population of this section p of the country. The people of our section are better than the average the country over, for th6y are not subjected to so great temptations, being largely rural districts. In the yearas before the stock law was adopted we dreaded for est fires. The fields were fenced and forest trees often destroyed the fences and sometimes the buildings on the farms. I remember fires which started from burning logs or trash in the fields in late winter or early spring, and these burned out large areas of woods lands. I have seen fire climb a pine tree clear up to the top and then the roll of flame shot off into the air. As I have said several times in this column that people settled on the creeks and .the fire lines became neighborhood roads, and inside that road fires never burn moving l ed the woods if it could be help picture with a farm background and shown throughout the State. Then, what will Gardner do in NOTICE ed, and when fires did get into these rough woods between that road and the creek, there was one of the awfullest fires any one ever saw.

But our margin of profit remains •> the same. Only the margin of cost from the wholesaler has been added at McLAUCHLIN COMPANY-and in many cases we have absorbed -this cost ourselves. ‘ We attribute our stabilized prices to the fact that we sell nationally- known products.
