PAGE TWO Min i ini' mi THE YANCEY RECORD ‘ISfABLIfjHED JULY, 11)36 1 ' Editor “**' - Mrs. C. R. Hamrick Published Every Thursday By YANCEY PUBLISHING CO. A Partnership Entered at second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the Port Office, at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of -—“ March S, 1879. T " ■ i ""'T ■ Health Department News Last year several citizens failed to%et their vaccina tion against typhoid. This should not be neglected, es pecially now, because you should do all you can to pre vent illness and the best way to start is to be sure you are protected. This vaccination was not given in the schools this year, due to the fact that smallpox vaccination was given and limited travel would not allow three extra trips to the schools which typhoid vaccination would require. So please bring your children in to the Health Department, to your doctor, or to our clinics ov er the county and see that they get their typhoid vac cination this year. It is most important because! they go swimming and are exposed in numerous ways.} All children from the age of one year up should have this vaccination.

Lumber, pulpwood, for e&t products are critically needed for war. High pro duction schedules must be maintained to fill this need. Farm woodlands and farm workers can help supply war’s wood demands by producing timber during slack seasons, on rainy days when the fields can’t be plowed. ißut to cut your timber properly, consult your forester, county ag ent or USDA War Board chairman about selective timber cutting and market- 1 This year, due to the tra vel situation, there will be only three trips made to each clinic point, so be sure to be there on the first cli nic date and also please be on time as we only have a short time at each point. Vaccinations for typhoid, j diphtheria, smallpox, who ! oping cough, tuberculin test schick test, and Wasserman tests will be given. Do not neglect this be cause you may lose three or four hours work. It is bet ter to lose a few hours than to lose all summer and maybe your life because you failed to take the vac-j icine. i All vaccinations are free except whooping cough which is only 50c for the entire course (Cost of vac -1 cine). We give it in four doses to children over two | years and five doses to those under two years. The schedule is as fol llows: N 0 TIC E f \ -v , ~'-' v A representative of the . field office of the Social Security Board will be at i the court house here at 11 a. m. on Wednesday, May 3rd to hear claims of per • sons eligible for ben T. -.

LETTERS FROM 1 ' MEN IN SERVICE been a pleasure to be home! these few days but there is one thing I would like to say. The people in Yancey county, and WNC don’t seejn to realize what it is really like in some places. They don’t realize what it j is like for the soldiers not! to get letters often to help their morale. . - Please, won’t you write your sons and daughters, 1 and husbands often, espec i ially the ones overseas, and let them know you are thinking of them. My address has changed and if the paper is sent to this address I will get it much more quickly: „Pvt. Lucille Higgins, A403648, WAC Det. 1, Sta tion Complement, Gamp Blanding, Fla. Record: I received the paper today and I was really pleased with' it. I believe every boy in ser vice who received the paper | feels the same way and is | proud to know that the folks back home remember him, and that they are all doing they utmost to speed that victory that* we are fighting for, and most of all for the prayers of the people of Yancey county. If it was not for those who believe in God there might be more of us boys lost in the future than have been in the past, so keep on praying that we will do a good job and get home soon. We are willing to sacrifice our lives for the safety of our loved ones back home, so keep ’em sailing by doing ‘ everything in your power .to keep the home front , going full speed ahead. Best wishes to all in good old Yancey county. Ransom L. Tate, AS, Co7 637, US NTS, Great Lakes, 111. Record: First let me say! ( heartfelt thanks for the weekly edition of the paper! which I have been receiving for the past seventeen (.17) months, and it naturally brings me close to home each time that I ha"ve the fortunate opportunity of reading it. Although I know ’ that my host of friends do ; • . jet****! 1 rUIPWOOid A1 THE YANCEY RECORD ! their utmost to deliver the news byway of correspond ence, the fact still remain that the paper is a consol ling thought in reading, al ! ways. I wish to say a hearty “Hello” to. all the people of “Yancey” county, and wish to express deep forgiveness in one sense of the word for I not writing them sooner and more often. But you must remember that this is l the Army and my spare time is more than some what limited. Through your thought fulness and kindness in sending me the paper I read that my old pal, Reid Gouge was lucky enough to be home for a few days. Certainly wish it could have been possible for me to have been home at the same time that he was, but the adverse circumstances of army routine made it an i impossibility. Reid was and still is one of my best pals,’ and I would have sacrificed to the greatest extent in being able to have said “Hello” to him and given him a warm handclasp. l| imagine he felt most happy to be home after being away from home for so long, during those two long years. Wherever he is at this time I hope he may see this letter in the paper and here’s best wishes and lots of luck to you. Reid. ! I will always be proud of Yancey county and the peo ple therein and the princi ples for which they stand. Can’t quite express on pa per how anxious I am to be back with all of you fine people and enjoy the fine air of North Carolina. ' across the many miles, Cpl. Joe Beaver, A. S. F. Unit, Camp Barkley. Tex. Record: Just a line to let you know that my address has been changed again, j am now stationed at Camp Davis, N. ('. and I would like to receive the pap~r here. 1 always enjoy finding out where the boys from Yancey county are station ed and that means a lot »o anyone in the service. Thanks and best wishes to all back home. Kie Tomberlin, Bttry. D 787 AAA AW Bn. Camp j Davis, N. C. . FRUIT FORECAST Raleigh, N.

Peaches—Low tempera-! tures on April 5 changed j peach production prospects {in some areas. Crop report-1 ! ers are of the opinion that it is still too early to be certain of the extent of the damage. However a preliminary check indicat es a smaller redurGon in prospective produ' .on than was suggested by first re ports on the Ji-eeZßr A heavy bloom was general in most sections. i Extensive damage was reported in northern Geor gia, northern Alabama, and : jin most sections of South! | Carolina, including the im -1 portant Spartanburg area, i In southern Alabama and southern Georgia an ap praisal by crop reporters indicates varying conditions, ! but a “fair to good” crop is expected. Commercial apples. Good sized crops are expected in many States, although it is too early for definite indi cations as to prospective production. However, late spring freezes can still cause serious injury in the commercial areas. Some or chards in North Carolina reported some loss from the j recent frosts; others ex-! pect a good crop.
