A news item says that 64
million Americans were em
ployed during the month of June
which is the greatest number
of workers to date in our nat
ion’s history. This does not off
set the fact that there were the
(usual number of idlers and loaf
ers in and around our baili
wick. Much of the un-employ
ment that is often played up
in the press, and during polit
ical campaigns is not always
indicative o 5 a. shortage of a
vailable work, but rather in
dicates an increase of volun
tary idleness. There have al
ways been a few people smart
enough to live without work
ing, and we’re not speaking of
rich folk!

However shocking and of

the use of their hands, and

are that we are now in the high

be very profitable to feed those
pullets out properly and sell
some high priced fall eggs.
Purina Research shows that
a pullet grown properly on the
purina program will lay at
least 20 more eggs than the
national average. She also lays
them earlier in the fall when
prices are higher.
Come in to see us about the

have Growena, the complete

is to be fed with grain. Either
of these plus good management

The great Apostle Paul set
a ruling for the Christians of
>the New Testiment period v to
(the effect that, “..if any would
not work, neither should he
eat.’’ (11 Thess. 3:10) A sim
ilar rule today, enforced by
law, would take many an idler
and loafer off the streets of
our towns and cities. Though
there are doubtless some who
would become rather weak and

up their sleeves and engage in

‘No maam,’ says Cy, ‘Ain’t nary

Two young females, commonly
called “Bathing Beauties,” only
these were several hundred
miles from the closest bathing
beach, clad in trunks and halt

thirds of their nude bodies ex

Purina Research has come
up with , a new improvement
that, compared to mash feeding
(1) Helps you grow better pul
lets. (2) Helps cut growing cost.
(3) Makes your work easier.
It’s Bite-Size Growing
Checkers. Your Growena or
; Growing Chow is pressed into
small Checkers —about half the
size of a grain of corn. They’re
smaller than our old checkers.
Chicks eat them eagerly.
We have a Purina Growing
Plan to fit your needs. Ask us to
help you grow low-cost pullets
that will lay lots of early eggs.

A friend with logic said to me,
“Although your years are eigh

Since you retain a lucid mind,
And in tomorrow interest find
You’re still not old.”
“But should a man one half

Abandon hope, give way to fears
And hold aloof from life today,
From joys that should adorn
his way—
That man is old,
Yes, very old.”

■ They. Take To' The Forest *
By George Vitas, Toecane 1
District Ranger - '
“Look dad, I foud one j” This
excited .cry came from a tan,
bare-chested 12 year old boy
who was perched atop a heap
of sun-drenched rock spoil that
had come out "3f a nica mine.
It had started last summer
as just another sight-seeing
tour, with no particular stop
ping place in»mind, for a New
Jersey school teacher and his
family. Their route took them
to the mountainous Pisgah Nat
ional (Forest in western North
(Oaolina. Here they camped “one j
night at the Carolina Hemlock
Recreation Area. It was to be,
like several previous stops, just
for overnight. They stayed two
weeks!
With Mt. Mitchell and the
Black Brothers hovering over
them, they found the mountain
trails a delight to hike. The re
creation area had a natural
swimming pool in the South Toe
River which the teacher, his
twin sixth-grade sons and the
native rainbow and brown trout
found to their mutual liking.
The area was provided with san
itary facilities, pure drinking
water, fireplaces in which to
, cook, tables and benches. There
was space to pitch their tent
and park their car.
In roaming the trails with
, his boys, the school teacher
came across several old mica
1 mines, In the old banks of these
1 mines he discovered many in
’ teresting rocks, among them an
‘ occasional garnet. His lapid-
I- arian appetite whetted, he drove
to Asheville, bought a book on
isemi-precious stones and had
>1 an absorbing time searching
1 1 for and identifying them. While
1 at the recreation area, he met
several other parties of camp
es who were also on a national
forest vacation. They spent a
number of days in the sun,
‘ (fishing; and in the evening,
before the campfire just talking
and sometimes (singing. His
! boy* discovered x willing play
' toiates in the children of the
other campers and his wife
' (found the wiyes o f fellow
campers cordial companions.
When it carte for £hem to
; (Start the trip back to New Jer
sey, they did so regretfully, 'But
1 they gave their camping area
refiesfamt.
