PAGE TWO — T* — 7 ' * THE YANCEY RECORD I ESTABLISHED JULY, 1936 Editor Mrs. C. R. Hamrick Managing Ed 7 ...... Lee E. Edwards Published Every Thursday By YANCEY PUBLISHING CO, A Partnership Entered M second—class matter November 11th, 1936, at the Boat Office, at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of March S, 1879. TO THE PEOPLE OF YANCEY COUNTY I know you are familiar with the unselfish and in valuable work done by the committee for the celebra tion of the President’s birthday in the past, and there is very little news that I might be able to give you on the subject. How ever there are a few things which might be of interest to you. In the first place, if the $210.00 is raised in Yancey county, $105.00 will stay in the county for needy cases here. This is not a political campaign. It is not a hit or miss campaign, but it is a campaign - which sho u 1 d concern every person re gardless of race, color, creed, or politics. It is a campaign in which you and I should do everything in our power to see that it proves a success. Infantile paralysis is a disease over which we have very little control. Your children might be well and happy one day and the next day they might be striken with this disease. If such a thing should happen we want to be prepared to help take care of the. child in the best way we know how. Money raised through this campaign has been put to many uses. Scrawling, little children of the slums, who were strangers to the sun with their lungs aching from lack of fresh air, have been taken to summer camps. Hospital wings have been built, bandages bought, and food baskets filled. Iron lungs have been purchased to breathe back life into pain-racked little bodies: Precious serums have been bought to pour life into shriveling limbs. Determined, self-less scien tists have been financed to carry on the research into the dreadful and mystify ing ways and wherefores of this terrible disease.

Fred Anglin, Trustee in charge of the buildings at Upper Jacks Creek churcn THE YANCEY RECORD THE WHITE-THROATED SPARROW One of Our Best Known Birds Many birds are with us during the summer but not in the winter; others are with us during the winter but not during the summer. A notable example of the latter is the White-throat. The subject of this brief sketch, the White-throated Sparrow, in the opinion of many people, is the hand somest and the sweetest singer of all the big family of Sparrows. It. is also one of the largest. The glistening white throat alone would be al most sufficient to identify this variety. The yellow streak in front of the eye, the white line through the centei* of the crown bor dered by two wider black lines, line behind the eye, the clear gray breast, apd the brownish upperparts, are also strik ing. This member of the fam ily spends its' summers in Canada and the Northern part;, of the United States; it spends the winters far ther south. Some of them are seen in Yancey County. •Many names are given this bird. In New England it is called “Peabody Bird” because it seems to utter the word “Peabody.” In Manitoba it is called “Nightingale.” In Ohio a farmer, Pover ly, walking about in his plowed field, was debating in his mind whether it was time to sow wheat. A White-throat nearby beghn singing: To him it seemed to say “Sow wheat, Pever ly, Peaverly, Peaverly!” Since this incident happen ed it has been called in Ohio the Peverl^J^rd. 'Mr. George Gladden writes interestingly about the- White-throat as foll ow’s: “The White-throated Sparrow sings nine differ ent variations of the same song. He may sing more, but this is all I have count ed. . . One man I knew’ he nearly drove crazy. To that man he w’as always saying, ‘And he never heard the man say drink and the—’. Toward the last my friend used wildly to offer a thousand dollars if he would, if he only ‘would, finish that sentence. “But occasionally, in just the proper circumstances, he forgets his stump corn ers, his vines, his jolly sun light. and his delightful bugs to become an intimate voice of the wdlds. It is night, very still, very dark. The subdued murmer of the forest ebbs and flows with the voices of the fur tive folk, an undertone fearful to break the night calm. Suddenly across the dusk of silences flashes a single thread of rating, trembling with some unguesspd ecstacy of emotion. ‘Ah! poor Canada, Canada, Canada’ it mourns passionately, and falls sil ent. That is all.” We should recognize this very notable bird for its economic value, its striking beauty, and its remarkable vocal efforts.—James Hut chins*. leaves this week for Wash ington, D. C. He will be sorely missed. The people of Mine Fork church should be highly commended for their spirit of sharing at Christmas time. “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.” —Psalm 122:1. i -—*H- Get the Eggs with Ful-O-Pep Laying Mash >*• .
