The total cost of the average
active case of tuberculosis, in
eluding diagnosis, treatment, hos
pitalization and lost wages, hai
been placed by an authority a
$10,000,
My wife wasn’t all joking.
She said that a real new car improvement
would be to go easing sideways, right into
a cramped parking space at the curb. I said
yes—maybe in 1960. There’s one swell im
provement though, that’s here already!—an
oil-plated engine! You get that immedi
ately by switching to Conoco motor oil.
I don’t say it’s the only oil; they’re not
hiring me. But I had this engine oil-plated
around 1941. It’s still running like a darb,
using Conoco NM* oil all the while, to cut
down damage from engine acids. If I know
what I’ve read all through this War, the
acids made by every engine are liable to
cause corrosion inside. That’s bad. But
don’t like oil-plating—can’t gnaw
right through it. It’s fastened real close or
sort of plated onto working parts that you’ve
got to protect till your new car comes. And
even then you’ll want the engine oil-plated
with Conoco N^* oil, the same as in the
car you’ve got right now.

MRS. Z. M. DELLINGER
RECEIVED LETTER
21 August, 1944
France
| Mrs. Z. M. Dellinger received
I the following letter from her nep
hew, Earl Brown:
! Dear Aunt Hattie:
j I received your letter recently
; and am always pleased to hear the
j news from home.
I would like to write a full story
| of what is seen and endured over
' here, but honesty it is so enor
i mous and rapid that I can’t keep
; up with advances.
I All in all what I have seen of
] France it is a very nice country,
but the destruction is plenty. The
bombed areas and means of des
I truction can not be written to the
point that you back home can
i imagine the real picture.
] The French ate gradually drift
j ing back to the liberated areas,
| usually carrying all the'r posses
1 sions in a small bag oi on their
back, and upon reach.eg their
1. -n.es, in man;, cases it is dt“
t roved. Even at that, tne French
a"e happy to be free again.
The Yanks get a hearty wel
come from the natives, and in
passing along the roads, vet v fre
quently they arc tosurg flowers
into vehicles and throwing kisses
to American soldiers or armed
forces.
I have seen truck load, after
truck load of prisoners coming
back from the front. You proba
bly can conceive what it is like.
The going has been rough and
tough but every man has his shoul
der to the wheel working as a
team, and we believe victory is
imminent, soon.
I am glad that you back home
have not had to endure what the
women, children, and men have
over here.
I am fine and in best of boalti
so is my brother Burgon who is
here with or near me.
! In closing I wish to send my
best regards to all the folks back
home and remind them that with
the good work they are doing, we
are enabled to do likefvise.
A thought for today, “Letters
you write today are appreciated
overseas tomorrow.”
Always,
EARL BROWN

Hello Fred:
How is everything in Cherrv
ville? Since I’ve left the Status
I ve saw quite a few interesting
things, some of them not very
pleasant.
I I have been to England, Scot
land, Ireland, Northern France,
| Africa, Italy and finally Southern
France. This is a nice section
\ of coast land. The housese are
ery pretty. I spent several nights
I sure was shocked wher. I re
j ceived a copy of the Eagle and
saw George Wright’s picture en
the front, “Killed in Action.'’
George and I used to have some
good times together. I am enclos
ing several pictures of the “Su
per Men” who are now running
for their lives.
Sincerely,
BOB

SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS -
J. J. Niven on the Dal'as Road
and D. S. Rhyne, Gastonia, were
clipping weeds off the pasture
with a mowing machine this past
week. Keeping the weeds clipp
ed is one sure way to keep a pas
ture in good condition, ir. addi
tion to making applications of fer
tilizer to stimulate grass growth
A good pasture is the best paying
acre on the farm.
J. A. Rhyne, Jr., Dallas, is plan
ning to improve the drainage on
twenty acres of bottom land lo
catel on Long Creek on the Dal
las-Bessemer City Road. Read
ings w^'ie taken up and down
the bottom to determine the fall
and location of drainage ditch
to the creek. He plans to ocnstruct
a V-type drainage channel which
can be worked over and maintain
ed with farming equipment.
Terrace lines were staaea u»=
past week on the following farms:
jyl. F. Ormand, Bessemer City; 1.
A. Jones, Mount Holly; and, E.
D. Pasour, Dallas, N. C.
r C Robinson, R-3, Gastonia,
ocated o?.iow Robeson School
sowed approximately tout acies
,f winter pasture mixture several
lays ago. He sowed a mixture
,f 10 pounds ryegrass, 10 pounds
jrimson clover, and 3 bushels
>ats per acre drilled in with com
plete fertilizer. This will give his
lairy cows some excellent grazing
ate winter and early spring, un
il the permanent pasture grasses
pave a chance to make some
growth. Any farmer who has at
least several milk cows should
sow some winter -pasture mixture.
A small patch of pines were
marked for thinning for M. W.
Kendrick, R-i, Gastonia. He plans
to thin these pines for pulpwood
this winter. It pays to trin; for
addl'I'onal farm .income during
idle periods, increase growth of
the remaining trees and helping
to supply vitally needed war ma
terials. Plan to thin an acre or
two this winter.
