NO RATIONING Attendance a t church services brings peace of mind, comfort, assurance ~ and friendliness, all of whi ch vitally affect one’s ev eryday living and hopes for the future. Only a .small majority of the people in our country make it a point to attend religious services regularly The churches are extending special invi tations to attend the week ly services and special re vival meetings. Churches in one town ad vertised ; “Our shelves are filled with things you need greatly. ' They are here waiting for you. And you can hoard all you please. No ration books are need ed. No red* coupons ... no blue coupons ... no coupons at all. No restrictions. And best of all it doesn’t cost you a single solitary cent. It’s all yours for the tak ing . . . and as much as you want You get the most priceless things in life.” Every church through out the world is a store house filled to overflowing with these invaluable “goods.” They are waiting for everyone. But, many wait a long time to receive them, others wait an eter nity.—(T he Cherokee Scout.) GROWERS PROFIT FROM TOBACCO QUOTAS North Carolina growers have greatly profited from tobacco marketing quotas during the six year period they have been in effect, both on tobacco and other field crops grown in the state, says Julian E. Mann, in charge of Extension stu dies at State College. Comparing the before quota years of 1928 to 1 32 •with the six tobacco quota years, average yields of to bacco increased from 692 pounds to 942 pounds ~per acre. On 133,000 less acres and with correspondingly less expense, North Caro lina growers produced total crops which averaged 513 million pounds of tobacco as compared with 469 mill ion pounds in. before quota years. If tobacco quotas are dis continued at this time many new growers will attempt to enter the field of pro duction and a calamitous situation may follow with - overproduction and lower ed prices. The wise grow er will look on tobacco marketing quotas as it will affect him in years to come, when conditions may be de cidedly different from what they are today. F. S._A_NEWS '-i The Farm Security Ad ministration has been off icially relieved of all res ponsibility i n connection with the recruiting, trans portng and placing of farm labor by an order transfer ring those duties to the War Food Administration’s Office of Labor. Howard H. Gordon, FSA Regional Director, Raleigh, N. C., announced that all persons employed by FSA to handle farm labor had been transferred to the pay roll of the other agency, effective July 1. These include managers and other employees of the farm labor supply centers which FSA built and main tained to provide shelter for, and to facilitate the procurement of, seasonal farm workers.

H. Ray, Commander. JMrs. W. W. Hennessee, /President, James Hutchins, , Committee. l PRAISE FROM GENERAL j Lt. General Lesley Jam j es McNair, commander of , Ground Troops in the Unit ved States, wounded while . visiting the African front, j had the following to say of , American doctors in that [ scene of action: “The medi cal service was superb. I j know at firsthand the speed _ and efficiency with which they worked. I was wound ed at 2:30 in the afternoon. Within ten minutes they had me at a Battalion Aid j Station. There two medical • | officers put a , tourniquet . on my shoulder to stop the r bleeding, bandaged me, fix led me up so I could be tak r en to the rear. I went from [there in a jeep to the Div ision Clearing Station, whe re they gave me blood-plas ( ma and checked my dressf ,ing. They put me on a litter Jin an ambulance and start led me farther to the rear. At 5:30, only three hours ’ later, I was in a field hos | pital, had been treated twi ce, had had X-rays taken, ’ and was ready to be oper ated on. That evening I came to in a warm bed, with no after effects from the operation. .... I didn’t get this sort of treatment because I was a general of ficer. Buck privates were getting the same care.” The medical men who at tended General McNair in Africa were merely civilian doctors not many months ago following routine med ical practices at home. The Bervice Which they are now rendering the troops—gen erals and privates alike— they were then rendering to civilians. On the military front, as on the home front, these medical t men know only one kind of service— the best possible. That is the tradition in which they have been trained. 1 SUBSCRIBE TO THE RECORD •. I THE YANCEY BECQBD pnmoinMM •L xTjfpMHL •** i ~ FARM LABOR At present, there is a Farm Labor shortage i n certain sections of the cou nty while in other sections, farmers are fairly well caught up in their farm work. The American Farmer has his biggest job in years. He must feed oir fighting forces, the Homo front, part of our Allies, and many of the enemy as they are captured, and the civil-' , ians of these captured cou ntries. The fanner has most of his crops out now and is entering into the harvest ; season. Here he needs ex tra help as a crop is no good unless it is harvested and made ready for consump tion. This is a patriotic appeal for us all to work together and lend a hand in our spare time to help harvest 1 crops. The County Agent’s office is getting calls forj farm help but is having • trouble finding this help. 1 We are asking all that are interested i n lending a hand for a day, week, mon th, or year to contact the local County Agent’s office ; and let us Jknovy when you can help and for how long. Also, farmers needing help, and who cannot find it lo ; cally, are urged to contact the office as soop as they know their needs. Help is now needed to pick beans, put up hay, and other general farm "work. Later, help will be needed ' to harvest and put up en silage corn, dig potatoes and other farm work. The farmer can and will pay a fair wage but it will not equal defense job pay. We must help him so that we may have something to eat. There is a place that every man, woman, and child over 14, can help if they are willing. When most farm corps get ready to harvest, they must be harvested then or they will rot, or get too tough or unfit for human or livestock consumption. We have the crops out, now! let’s get them harvested on time. Let us know what! you can do to help, and your needs.
