Burial was made in the family plot in the church cemetery. obituary Mrs. Mary Leonhardt Houser was born December 10, 1859. De parted this life July 7, 1955, ape 95 years, 6 months, 27 days. She was married to Logan C. Houser, December 28, 1882, who preceded her to the grave, April 2, 1944, 11 years ago. To this union were born seven children: Rev. J. E. B. Houser, Weaverville; A. S. Houser, Vale, R-2; Mrs. Hinkle Huss, Lincoln ton, R-l; Mrs. W. C. Hallman, East Palls Church, Va.; Burton Houser, Lincolnton, R-l; Hattie Houser, deceased in 1898; Mrs. Earl Hoover, Crouse, R-l; and Mrs. Leroy Boyles, Lincolnton, R-l. In addition to her children she leaves to mourn their loss 30 grand children, 34 great grand children, 3 great great grand chil dren and many other relatives and a multitude of friends. In early girlhood she was con verted and joined Bess Chapel, at that time, Methodist Protestant Church. After her marriage she transferred her church member ship to White Zion Methodist Church where she remained a loyal and faithful member until her death. For a number of years while she and her husband lived near White Zion Church their door was ever open to the preachers of their church. For many years the one service each month at the church was at 11:00 o’ clock on Sunday morning. The pastor with horse and buggy would make his way to the humble Hou ser home on Saturday night where he spent the nitfht. After preaching at 11 o’clock, the prea cher would feed his horse at the church while he ate a well pre pared lunch by Mother Houser and then drive to meet an after noon appointment. After the ap pointments of the preachers at the annual Conference when she was to get a new preacher she would always say, ‘‘I liked the preacher who is leaving us and I am going to like also the new preacher and be loyal to him, supporting him in every way”. No word of criti cism of complaint ever fell from her lips about her preacher or her church. She is going to be missed by all those who knew her and loved her. We cannot, and we would notj if we could, bring her back to earth again. Let us live by the Grace and help of the Good Lord so as to meet her and live with her in our heavenly Fath er’s house of many mansions.

S. sol diers who found life in Commun ist China “hellish” sailed for home tonight, each carrying a supply of comic books. William Cowart, 23, Lewis Griggs, 22, and Otho G. Bell, 24, expect to face prosecution when they reach the Unietd States. They have acknowledged commit ting acts as prisoners during the Korean War which in Cowart’s words, were “contradictory to what an American should do.’’ Bell said, “We are wiling to pay for what we did.’’ ’ The three men boarded the lin er President Cleveland just be fore it left at midnight, walking hurriedly by several jeering Am erican crew members. They were escorted to their third-class bunks by U. S. eonsu late officers Robert Ay 1 ward and S. M. Backe, who refused to let reporters and photographers fol low them. Backe blocked the door of the dormitory cabin for down in the ship, saying, “Let's give the boys a break.” DUE JULY 29 Cowart, Griggs and Bell had their passage paid by the consu late. The State Department or dered them confined to the Pres ident Cleveland until it docks at San Francisco, where it is due on. July 29. The U. S- government has not indicated what is in.store for the trio except to state they will be “responsible for any acts they committed.” A court-martial is unlikely because all have been dis honorably discharged from the Army. Last night over drinks in a Hong Kong dance hall, Griggs said: “You know we aren’t very smart. But I feel positive we out smarted the Reds in getting out. I’m convinced our case was dealt with by no less than Mao Tzetung himself.” They said otners among the 17 U. S. war prisoners who stayed in Communist China rather than re turn home after the Korean ar mistice now want to leave. But they gave no names. Larsons Attending Chicago Meeting Fenton L.

Animals Third High Cause Of Accidents Animals rank third among the causes of accidental injuries to farm people, according to H. M. Ellis, head of extension agricul tural engineering. Falls and ma chinery top the list. Increased reliance on artificial breeding of dairy stock has freed many farmesr from the hazards of handling bulls on their farms. But. when a bull is kept, regard less of how gentle it may appear, substantial fencing is absolutely necessary for safety. A safekeeper bull pen of the type developed by Agricultural Research Service is recommended for bulls kept, for dairy or beef -dock breeding. The pen includes a shed with stanchion and man ger, and it is so constructed that the attendant can handle and feed the animal without coming in contact with it. Beef, bulls that run with the herd have infrequent contact with the owner. If a bull on the range or in a pasture must be approach ed. do so while on horseback or in a vehicle, if possible. If you must approach a bull in a pasture on foot, be sure there is a vehicle nearby to afford a barrier in case the bull should charge. Bulls aren’t the only danger ous animals. Boars also come in this category. Tusks should be re moved from boars. Even an ordi narily gentle animal may strike without warning. Deaths have oc curred from such accidents. A hand hurdle will keep off a boar I if he should attempt to strike. Sows may be a source of dan ger, particularly before and after farrowing. A hand hurdle should be carried when entering the pen .at. such times. Leave the pen door unlatched to permit a quick es cape. , KINGS MOUNTAIN SOLDIER TRAINING IN TEXAS Fort Hood, Texas—Army PFC John K. Hullender, 22. son of Mrs. Bertha C. Hullender, 205 Fair view st..

Dated: July 1, 1955 TAR HEELS LIKE QUOTAS Preliminary reports show that 88.6 per cent of Tar Heel farm ers voting in the recent wheat referendum favor marketing quo tas for the 1956 wheat crop, Clyde R. Greene, chairman of the State ASC Committee, announced today. Preliminary reports in the na tion, he said, indicate greater in terest in the referendum; 15.4 per cent more farmers voted this year than last. In addition to the greater interest shown by farm ers, the percentage voting in fa vor was higher this year than last. Greene says this is significant m view of the fact that support rates for 1956 will be reduced to 76 percent of parity as compared with the support rate this year of 82 12 percent. ‘‘It looks like the farmers are really beginning to realize the important part that these programs play in the na tion’s economy.” These are pre liminary tabulations; however, the final tally is not expected to show any significant change. This strong expression of ap proval by the nation’s wheat growers will provide price support of at least $1.81 per bushel in 1956. The rate will be about 20 cents higher in North Carolina because of freight differentials. If the referendum had not carried, the minimum national support would he set at $1.10 a bushel, and in the state, $1.39 a bushel. The referendum as well as the wheat quota and support pro grams are administered by ASC state and county committees. Greene urged any farmers who have questions regarding A SC’s quota or price support programs to see their local ASC committee or go bv their ASC county office. Dinging convention At Missionary Meth.

NEW BENEFITS FOR VETERANS Congress has enacted and the President has signed laws provid ing new benefits for World War II and Korea veterans as well as extending delimiting- dates of other veteran legislation. The principal benefit, or the one hav ing the largest application, is the amendment to the G. I, Bill per taining to direct loans lor the purchase of homes. Former legis lation providing that the VA might lend money directly to vet erans unable to obtain loans from private or public lenders to buy or build homes expired June 30, 1055. New legislation extends the period during which the VA may lend directly to an e.igible vet eran until June 30. 1957. George 0. Warlick of the Gastonia VA of five said today. A new benefit, Mr. Warlick stated, is the provision that the Veterans Administration may make direct loans, under certain conditions, for purchase of a farm home or, if veteran own farm land, to build a home. In all instances the law provides the home must be for veterans’s own use. Prior to July 1, 1055 the VA could only guarantee one half of a loan made by an approved lender for farm purchases. The principal effect of the recent ac tion by Congress, according to Mr. Warlick. will he to enable veterans to acquire homes through direct VA loans where amount sought is relatively small. Many lending agents have set a mini mum of $7,000. or even larger amounts, and will not make a loan for less. A young veteran who is compelled to make a start from scratch cannot afford to in vest that much, consequently, many veterans have been unable to negotiate loans. Mr. Warlick pointed out that an eligible veteran, in order to make a loan from the VA must prove he is a good credit risk just as though he were borrowing from a regular lending agent.
