A Partnership Entered as second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the Poet Office, at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1878. PROCLAMATION WHEREAS the young men of our country of the age of eighteen and nineteen years have, because of their stamina and enthusiasm, proven themselves to be exceptionally able soldiers, and WHEREAS the United States Army is making an active campaign to secure the enlistment of such men and is offering special advantages to secure their enlist ment; and the Town of Burnsville is anxious to do its part to assist our Army is securing the enlistment of such men, NOW, THEREFORE, I, R.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and caused the seal of the Town of Burnsville to be hereun to affixes, all on this sth day A. D., 1942. R. W. WILSON, Mayor, Town of Burnsville, N. C. LESPEDEZA PRACTICE APPROVED FOR STATE UNDER AAA PROGRAM “Farmers of Yancey cou nty will be allowed one un it or'sl.6o per acre toward maximum production prac tice payments under the 1943 AAA program for es tablishing good stands and good growths of lespedeza, provided they are left on the land or turned under, according to J. A. Hannum chairman of the County AAA Committee. Credits for this practice will be allowed only if the entire growth, other than seed, is left on the land or turned under as a green manure crop. It must not be pastured or mowed for hay. Credit also will be allowed only for the acre age of lespedeza seeded ar tificially during the 1943 program year on land on which lespedeza was not grown in 1942, the chair man said. The seeding rate should be at least 25 to 30 pounds per acre, and a good stand similar to that which normally would be secured from such seeding and a good growth must ho obtained. He defined a good growth as one reach ing an average height o f five or six inches. Chairman Hannum also said that credit, of one unit or $1.50 per acre has been approved under the 1943 program for turning under crotalaria as a green man ure crop. To qualify for credit, he said, a good stand and good growth which was seeded 'artificially in the 1943 program year must be plowed or disked under. “Approval of these prac tices should be extremely valuable to farmers in the coming agricultural year,” he said. “With the nation 1 at war, we must keep our farm plants in shape to produce to the limit as long as necessary. And if we do this, we must protect our land during the winter months and also store in the soil as much nitrogen as possible by growing le gume crops.

HOW TO BEAT RATION ING TO THE PUNCH With the rationing- of food* it is well-to give 'thou ght to just what this is going to mean to you and to your general health and that of the members of your family. Is it going to hurt you, or is it going to help you? It can do either—but you can beat rationing to the punch, remain within the law and be a better cit ' izen. While this may [ sound like a paradox, it is J nothing of the sort. Rationing will hurt you i if you are unwilling to ac i comodate your tastes to - its requirements—if you are selfish and refuse to } take it on the chin—or, I t should say, on the stomach. On the other hand, ra f tioning can. prove highly . beneficial, and it will to those who, while adjusting s themselves to a new situa ; ticn, make a special study of food values. By so doing, , you will find that jou l have been eating, in afyun r dance, many things to sat isfy your hunger, and, in so doing, have given , little heed to the relief of hidden hunger. There are many people who will insist on buying things that are scarce and - who, simpM* because they have the money to make purchases they think" are • necessary will rush down - to the grocery store or t market, in order to beat 5 their neighbors to the cou f nter. The result is that . the things they selfishly '. acquire, simply because they could get there first, 1 do not go around and some body has to do without them. i But let’s get back to the ? subject of how you can beat rationing to the punch f and, thereby, help yourself and your government. , Jn the first place this > governmenk,is going to see 5 t° it that you get enough j food to meet body require s ments, and it is going t o see that you get your fair , share, no matter what sys tem is adopted. ’ Cost alone is not ‘t h e „ measure of the desirability . of a diet. Inexpensive food , carefully selected, preserv | ed and judiciously consum ed,' i'will give a much better return in terms of nutri ' tion, than many of the ex ' pensive foods you have to > scramble to get hold of be [ f° re your neighbor gets to ' the counter. Any food that does noth -1 ing more than fill your stomach and make you feel comfortable for a time is i F r " 11 . > WluU HiUf, 'k/UU I j WAR BONDS l* *] Actual experience on the world’* war fronts has proved the collapsi ble boat an essential safety feature for ■ both Naval and land based planes. Th%y are made of rubber ized material, easily inflated. At the Battle of Midway an Army Lieutenant, after bombing a carrier, was forced to bail out of his bomber He wa* able to get a "fish eye" view of the entire battle from his collapsi ble boat and was later picked up by an American plane. Your purchase of War Bonds with at least ten per cent of your income every payday will help protect the lives of men who are flying- for you. Get behind' ’ them today, v.

Investigation shows that the average American diet does not contain enough Vitamin A, Vitamin B-l, , Vitamin C and calcium.

Don’t experiment with | your body, for it’s more im portant tjian your watch or even your automobile as"imporfant as that vehi cle is today. You hear much over the radio;" you read much in the papers about getting your cat checked, in/ order that it may give you the maxi mum service. That, no doubt, is good advice, but it is much more important that you go to your family physician and have your self checked. Your doctor not only can tell you how to get the maximum ser vice out of your body but he may be able to give you i some advice that will ac- 1 tually save your life. The prevalent question today is: "How many more miles can I get out of these tires?” It blight to be: “How many more years can I get out of this body of mine.” Here are some* food ma terials that are necessary for body structure: PROTEIN: which helps to build and maintain flesh and blood. It can be ob tained by consuming milk, cheese, eggs, meats, poul try and fish. Nuts, cere als, peas and beans provide protein of less high quality than that from animal sources. CALCIUM: This helps to build and maintain bones and teeth. Milk, chees; and certain green leafy ve getables are good sources of this. 1 ■ -,PHOSPOROUS: which (Continued on page four) • BURNSVILLE DIVIDES DOUBLE HEADER WITH MICAVTLLE f Burnsville and Micaville 3 high school basket ball * teams played on the Mica l ville court Wednesday , night.

In the Eastern Area, where ; rationing has been in ef | feet gjlnce last July, these forms are to be picked up by autoists, filled ml and 1 mailed to local War Price and Rationing Boards. Car owners who listed more than-five tires per' | ear on their application form will be required to show proof that these tires have been disposed of un-' der the Government’s Idle Tire Plan. The tire inspec tion record will be return ed to the applicant. A receipt showing that he has turned them overl to the Railway Express Agency will be acceptable as such proof.
