WE MUST HAVE JUNK • * I Production in ever increasing volume is our hope of victory. For this we MUST have scrap materials of all kinds. j He have been too complacent. We have thought, and sometimes said,,- that our small amount here could not help very much. Our little multiplied over and over throughout the land means that large volume we must have. There is nothing complacent today about the fight ing that goes on around the globe. Not on the Solomon Islands, nor the coasts of France. We have a part in the struggle just as surely as the Marines or members of the Air Force. We must keep the factories running full speed ahead. Our campaign to collect junk of various kinds has already begun. We are planning now for the JUNK RALLY, county wide, which will be held- on September 17. That gives us a month to find out where the old stoves,’and broken down "mowing machines are. It will give us time to collect the scrap at the school houses or in Burnsville or any of the places that are most convenient. We MUST have the JUNK! Begin now that drive that will mean v that' our county will do its And that full part is to collect every pound of available scrap.

AN EXAMPLE OF CONSERVATION One of our vital prob lems that is greatly stress ed of late is that of the conservation of our imm ense and varied natural resources. Manifestly every person can contribute so • mething to the solution of one or more phases of this undertaking. Mrs. C. P. Gibson’s prac ice of feeding and protect ing the birds around her home is a very noticeable and remarkable instance. About three years ago she began feeding the birds - during cold weather and es pecially when there was a blanket of snow. At first the birds were few but the 1 numbers increased from i year to year until the bird I 4 population has more than doubled and is probably as great as it is in any simi lar area of the county. I recall seeing three ye ars ago near the garden two Titmice. Now, by; a careful estimate, there art twelve, all evidently -prog eny of the original two. ; The-Titmice nest within a few feet of the house and ■ both old and young come ■ early in the morning to the feeding place, which is the ; metal roof of the can- ho use. tr ' In early morning the so und of so many Birds eat ing resembles that of fall ing rain on the roof and often has been mistaken for a sudden shower. Es pecially during the summ er the young Titmice light on the rear screen door ■ and chatter until someone ■ comes with the feed. When perchance food has not be e nupplieir a whole flock i of birds ot several 'variet ies follow a person passing at the rear of the house making a terrible to do, scolding, and protesting the neglect to feed them. Fre quently the birds are heard at night, any time of night feeding. Besides the Titmice, dur ing the present summer there were two nesting pairs of Robbins; a pair «of Brown Thrashers that rai sed one brood; two pairs of one pair rais ing, a stock * a .pair of Song Sparrbws built three nests in the arborvitae shr ubbery and hatched three broods. The rats apparent ly destroyed rtwbt of these. A pair of House Wrens built two nests and hatched and perhaps raised two brodds. One Brown Creep er, one Downy Woodpedk er and one Yellowbilled Cu ckoo were observed this year on the premises. The re were‘s several English SpaiTdws raised. About a month ago a number of Bobwhites began coming to the feeding place. I Some of the most attrac tive birds, however, that dwell near here are two < pairs of Wood Thrushes. < Their loud, clear, melodious notes were heard during the song period with de- ■ t \ * WSt * ‘'“ JK v | v-W » v - 1 t : yn 'W jjjMpK LONNIE ALLEN, his two sons, Jack and Burdette, and the IS pound carp which they caught recently in the dam at the Nortwest Carolina Utilities property on Cane River. This was probably the largest‘fish ever caught in Yancey county, and was a most excit ing event for the three principals and their friends.

Nearby Mr. Decatur Yo ung’s family likewise has cared for their birds with similar results. The restoration of our birds to greater abundance would mean so much for our material and spiritual welfare. To accomplish this laudable purpose we need only to furnish food in time of scarcity, suitable nesting places, and a haven of pro tection against all enemies. —iJanies Hutchins.) » € " THE YANCEY RECORD I Mr. and Lawrence Penland; and daughter from .Black Mtn. were vis -1 iting Mr. and Mrs.' Bart Penland Sunday. r I* *1 f ujiuU y<u< Ruy wuu WAR BONDS L*: __ Gas masks uhich came into use in warfare for the first time when the Germans used poison and mus tard gas in World War I, are much -improved today over those used then-The'Chemical Warfare Branch of the War Department issues these gas masks to every man in the serv ice.
