HEALTH NEWS -
The Health Department
is pleased to announce the
appointment of Mrs. Alma
Banks Shepard as Clerk
for the Central office at
Burnsville. Mrs. Shepard
7-ecently passed the State
Merit examination. She
was formerly employed by
the Feldspar Milling Com
pany of Burnsvile.
FARM NCUTES
, . * ■ •
MILK SALES
Durirg the month of
January farmers of the
county sold 62,756 pounds
of market milk to the two
milk companies operating
five routes through the
county. This i s an average
of 180 gallons per day for
the month.
• It is easy to look at a list
of the pounds of milk sold
by each producer and tell if
he has a silo or not. If he
does, his milk sales will run
more evenly from month
to month, while the farmer
without a silo has to take
| considerable variation in
his total milk sold.'
Also, one will find upon
I investigation, that the man
| with the silo i a producing
milk at a much cheaper
cost per 100 pounds of milk
than the man who does not
have silage to feed. At
present 14 of the 104 farm
ers selling milk have silos, j
A renewed drive- will be
made in 1944 for more silos.
The Demonstration Far-j
mers’ association of the
county will again loan its
ensilage cutter to any far-:
mers in the county who
need to fill silos at a very
nominal charge. Last year
this cutter filled 15 silos
for 14 farmers, cutting
286.4 tons of silage in eight
of the 11 townships in the
county.

W. R. Curtis, Acting

charge from military ser
vice that in order to estab
lish their benefit rights

ployment insurance within

WAC RECRUITING
“Members of the Women’s
Army Corps don’t shoot
dow-n enemy planes, but
they play vital roles in sup
port of the men who do,-’
says Lt. Opal E. Brindle,
assistant recruiting officer
from the U. S. Army Re
cruiting Station, Asheville,
who visited this week with
Sgt. Marie MacFelly, also
of the Asheville station.
Lt, Brindle went on to,
say, “WACS construct ac
curate models of all types
of enemy aircraft, as well j
as models of our own allied
[planes for use in aircraft!
recognition courses. The 1
models are used by aviation
cadets, aii plane gunners,
I antiaircraft gunners and
plane spotters, who ljiemor
ize the characteristics of
each type of plane.
The women soldiers fill a
| total of 239 different kinds
of army jobs in the Army
Air Forces, Army Ground
Forces, and Army Service
Forces. Recruits in the
WAC now may designate
which branch of service
j they prefer and also may
| select the particular type
of duty they will perform,
providing they are quali
fied for such work. Re
cruits also may choose ser
vice at any particular army
station within the geogra
phic limit ß of the Service
Command in which they
enlist.
WACS who have no spec
ial skill qualifying them
for army jobs are given
training by army experts.
The woman soldier may at
tend a Photographic school,
Code Clerk school, Finance
school or an enlMed Tech- j
nicians’ school; -Sho-may H
attend a motor transport j
course, Cooks’ course or
Clerks’ course.
Ju«t like other soldiers,
WACS may compete for
selection as an officer can
didate. A WAC may apply
for officer candidate school
after she has completed
three months active duty.”
Seventy million pounds 1
of extra poultry meat was I
saved last year in the U. S. I
because farmers reduced I
their poultry losses by I
three per cent. *
