Ball Siarts Rolling to Observe Centennial of War Between States By CHRISTOPHER CRITTENDEN, See rata 17 The Nartfc Carolina Literary and Hiatorieal Auociation, Raleigh, North Carsliu Raleigh ? Plans are in the making for North Carolina to commemorate the approaching centennial of the War between the States. In so doing, the state will join with the United States government and the other states of the union, both north and south. The North Carolina Literary and < Historical Asosciation has formed a committee of 55 citizens repre senting every section of the state. At the first meeting of this com mittee, Col. Hugh Dortch, chair man, presided, and the background and purposes of the centennial ob servance were given by Dr. Chris topher Crittenden, director of the State Department of Archives and History. Members of the committee were Introduced. It was pointed out at this time that the State of Virginia has already enacted a bill authoriz ing a Centennial Commission and that $25,000 per year has been ap propriated for this purpose. Aa executive committee was elected and includes the following: Colonel Dortch, Goldbboro; Billy Britt, Smithfield; Mrs. D. S. Col trane, Raleigh; Paul Green, Chapel Hill; Dr. Robert Lee Humber, Greenville; Mrs. Ernest Ives, Southern Pines; Hector McLean, Lumberton; Mc Daniel Lewis, Greensboro; Herb O'Keef, Raleigh; and J. R. Peacock, High Point. A proposed resolution to be sub mitted to the 1959 North Carolina General Assembly was presented. It was pointed out that there were two main reasons for North Caro lina to participate. One is educa tion and understanding of the war 1 and of our heritage. The other is the commcrcial value to the state as tourists come to realize the part North Carolina played in the conflict. Towards these ends, the resolution contains a request of $25,000 a year for the next biennium. The resolution, with a preamble to be added by the executive committee, was unanimously approved by the mem bers. Telegrams and letters were read from supporters of this committee. The United Daughters of the Con federacy expressed its desire to co operate. Suggestions for projects which the state committee could undcr I take with the help at local commit tees included the marking of the Confederate forts on Roanoke Island, the restoration of other forts along our coast, the instigat I ing of a move to have a memorial to Gen. Robert E. Lee placed in the nation's capital, and the promo tion of more and better courses of history to be taught in our sec ondary schools and colleges. The National Civil War Centen nial Commission, serving as a co operating agency to guide and co ordinate the overall program of the more than thirty state Civil War Centennial Committees already functioning, has received an an nual appropriation of $100,000 for the years 1959-60. This commission suggests for this commemoration, the preservation of documents contributing to the true history of the war, the spon sorship of educational activities, the encouragement of publications, the reenactment of local historic events, and the promotion of pub lic awareness of the principles and ideals, engendered in the Civil War. The national commission says that through these local observ ances will arise "a new study of American patriotism ? a study which should give u? a deeper un derstanding of the immense re serves of bravery, of sacrifice and of idealism which lie in the Ameri can character." They propose that in commemo rating the centennial of the Civil War that "we do not want simply to string together a series of holi days, reviving here the exultation of victory and there the sadness of defeat. Rather, the centennial must give us a new understanding of the way in which Americans built from sacrifice and suffering an enduring nation and a lasting peace."

WILLIAMS County Farm Agent There are heavy losses of the home supply of pork production on the farm due to improper slaughter and curing methods being used. During the months of November, December, January, and February, most of you people on the farm will be slaughtering hogs for your home supply of meat. Here are a few suggestions on improving the quality of your pork for home use. Hogs that are approximately six months old and weighing around 210 pounds are ideal for your fam ily supply. Your hogs should be of the good meat type. Your hogs should be killed when the tempera ture is in the low 30' s. I would like to emphasize the im portance of slaughtering your hogs in the late afternoon and allowing the animal heat to escape by hang ing overnight before cutting and processing. This is a very import ant point to remember. It has been observed that many of you swine producers slaughter the animals in the early part of the day, cut out the meat and salt it down before the animal heat has had lime to escape. At the time you kill the hogs they should not be r* "r-excitcd. Be sure to get a good stick and good bleed on these hogs for better keeping qualities. The temperature of the scalding water should be approximately 145 Loland D. Garner introduced them to the honor guests. Mrs. Reggie Parish presided in the dining room where Mrs. W. N. Allen, Mrs. A. R. Craig, Mrs. Hen ry Edwards and Mrs. Deryl Gar ner served fruit punch, block cake and nuts. The table, covered with a white linen cloth, was centered with a lovely arrangement of chrysanthe mums and candles. The many friends calling during the afternoon were happy to ex tend a welcome to the minister, Mrs. Sears, their son, Jimmy, and daughter, Jean. They come to this church from the Pleasant Grove charge at Varina, and it will be good to again have activity in the lovely new brick parsonage, which has been vacant for some time. Albuquerque, N. M. (AP) ? A cat named Trixie was named the most outstanding pet at an annual show. And for Trixie it was a well-de served tribute. She has 24 toes ? six on each foot. degrees for good scalding. Over scalding sets the hair. If you have a large number of hogs to kill for family use, divide this so that you will kill 1/3 in December, 1/3 in January, and 1/3 in February in order to give a better distribution of fresh meat supply. Follow a recommended curing schedule to prevent over - salty meats. Your meat should be hung out to cure to prevent slime growth and souring. Be sure and keep all meat pro tected and away from rodents and insects at all times. Those of you who store your meat supply in your home freezer should not put in more than 10 per cent of the total capacity of your freezer in any one 24-hour period. For more detailed information on curing your home supply of meat we will furnish you upon request the bulletin entitled "Farm Pork Supply. Economical WARMTH H B ATI NO OIL AUTOMATIC DELIVERIES J. M.
