Note: This column is written
with malice toward none, but
with the common good of all in
mind.

In a kind and generous edit,
orial in last week’s Record the
author of this column was taken
to the carpet concerning a point
in eur recent article annent the
School Bond issue. Realizing
that there were some justifi
able grounds for the good editor
to understand and interpret our
views as he did, we feel impell
ed to clarify our position on the
matter treated, hoping thereby,
to disabuse the minds of any
and all who may have got the
wrong or mistaken ideas and
impressions regarding our at
titude:
** * *
The fact that we denounced
and deplored the tactics em
ployed in the second circular re
ferred to in our former column
Was not intended to brand its
contents as being false, or to
champion or defend the contents
of the first circular as being
true. One thing is plainly ob
vious,—both o f those docu
ments could not have been true,
though each may have contained
portions of the truth, and though
the authors of each may have
felt that their position was the
correct one and best for the pre-

Mack Mclntosh, who has j
ibeen feeding Purina Dairy
Chows and keeping records for
several years has some inter
esting reports when compared
on a yearly basis. For the mon
ths of July, August, September,
end October, 1954 the milk pro
duction per cow per month in
his herd averaged 725 pounds,
!724 pounds 875 and 1073 pounds
respectively. For the same mon.
ths this year the production was
818 pounds, 971 pounds 975 and
978 pounds respectively. This
is an average of 86 pounds more
milk per cow each month than
for the same period last year.
Good management plus correct
nutrition is a combination that
will insure greater profits and
the satisfaction of a job well
done.
STILBESTROL AVAILABLE
IN PURINA CATTLE CHOWS
Research proves stilbestrol
won’t make a good ration out ’
of a poor ration, but it will
make a good ration better.
Here are some results from
'stilbestrol feeding over the past ;
year at the Purina Research’
Farm:
1. 17.2% faster growth com
pared to check lots getting no j
stilbestrol.
2. Feed saying of 9.4% com- i

And we hasten to add that if
such was the sincere conviction
of the individuals and groups in
volved, each had an un-deni
able right to publicize their con
flicting views on the issues pre.
‘ sented.
The thing that we deplored,
l and which we still deplore, as
► un-compromisingly as ever, is
l that the author oY authors of
the second circular, however
true and correct its contents
may have been, cleverly, and
, with studied artifice, purported
! to be" the same who had sent
forth the first circular, and in
, dicated that after further in
vestigation, having convinced
them-of their error, they, in
deep contrition, were trying to
make eleventh hour amends for
any false impressions created
-oy their former position.
** * *
There certainly had been no
thought on our part to re-open
the unpleasant affair. So far
as we are personally concerned
the main issue was very plainly
settled at the polls. And heart
and soul we endorse and stand
. ready to cooperate in any way
. possible with the expressed
i wishes of the over-whelming
; majority of our citizens, who
plainly indicated their desire for
TWO advanced High Schools in
Yancey County. However, since
both the good editor and I con
scientiously felt, for the reasons
indicated, that something fur
ther needed to be said, it may
be well to close this article with
the following observations, which
we sincerely address as an
earnest appeal to all cur citiz-
’
tion for feeding Steer Fatena
and Beef Chow with stilbestro
to help you make lots of low
cost gains.
You will recall that back in
September we announced that
many ladies feeding Purina
would get up to 40% more eggs
than U. S. average. Well, they’ve
done it—some of them even
better.
Now we’re happy to say we
are supplying many new cus
tomers with Purina Laying
Chows. Some are using the new
Bite-Size Checker form. Bite
'Size Checkers cut waste because
birds pick up Checkers spilled
from feeders. Very few are lost.
Bite-Size Checkers are easier
and faster to feed than mash.
Birds eat them better, t<tf>. We

duction at lower cost. Get your

HEALTH HINT
Hear wheezing or rattles in
the hen house? Are layers off
feed or do they look sick?
These symptoms point to Air
Sac Colds. Chek-R-Mycin is the
fast-acting drinking water med
ication we recommend. Keep a. _
bottle handy for fast action in
case of CRD outbreak. Early
treatment cuts losses. Ask
about it.

POETRY CORNER

Edith Deaderieh Brtktm*
TITLE SURE
My Saviour’s precious blood
Has made my title jure.
He passed'through death—
Dark raging blood—
To make my rest,.secure.
The Comforter'is gome; ,
The earnest has been given. . „,
He leads me onward to the home
Reserved for me in heaven.

ens, including the responsible
leaders of our County Seat and
of every community and school
district in Yancey County—and
humbly acknowledging our own
personal share of the obligat
ions involved.
First: We need a FIRST
CLASS funeral in Yancey Co
unty, with all the trimmings. It
should be held after ample not
ice, on the town Square in Burn
sville, N. C., since this is the
County Seat Center of our pol
itical and civic life. Let a large
platform be built, strong enough
to support the largest casket
available, as well as the speak
ers, both appointed and vol
unteers, who will be needed to
give the several funeral orat
ions.
•t * *
Let the first speaker read
the obituary of the Number One
enemy of our county, General
Political Grudge. Let no words
be spared to review his nefari
ous life and influence across
the years. Let it be strongly
emphasized how the strife and
bitterness engendered by this
self-seeking, Evil Genius, has
bred discord and division among
brothers and neighbors, and pre
vented co-operation, on the part
of communities and the County
as a whole on issues pertaining
to the mutual welfare of all. i
*** * ,
The next speaker should be
some public-spirited business
man, who will say the obsequies
for anothey enemy of our Co
unty’s progress,—Colonel Bus
iness Tightfist, whose clannish
tactics have kept a stronghold
on business and industrial ent
erprize and expansion for at
least twenty-five years too long.
Let it be carefully noted how
that Colonel Tightfist,—aping
the fabled farmer who killed
his goose, hoping to get all the
golden eggs it was wont to lay
at one time, —in maintaining a
Thumbs Down policy toward
new business that has eagerly
sought for welcome to our com
munities, has un-wittingly fore
ed many of our people to spend
much of their money in places
where larger variety and keener
competition ha& afforded better
buys for the average man’s dol
lar.
#* * #
Last, but by no means least in
importance, there should be a
funeral sermon, preferably given
by several ministers of differ
ent affiliations, sounding the

death knell to all the religious!
prejudice, strife, lack of Christ
ian interest and cooperation,
and Holier-Than-Thou attitudes,
Which have retarded the King
dom of God- and 'the principles
of Righteousness, Truth, and
Peace among the churches and
professing Christians of our
whole County. A suggested text
for these several- ministerial
discourses would be Hebrews
13:1:—‘‘Wt Brotherly, love con?
tinue.t’ ' The- last' speaker, upofi
concluding his discourse, should
make an altar call, challenging
all preachers present to gather
around that open casket and
there bury forever, in the pres
ence of God and all the people,
every mite and semblence of
coldness, aloofness, and un-
Christlike behavior, that has ex--,
isted, all too thinly veiled, and
which still is painfully evident
in many ways.
** * *
Naturally, IF and when the
preachers should make a sin
cere response to this • proposit
ion, an old-fashioned, sorely
needed revival of peace, love,
and tolerance to all men would
sweep the assembled congregat
ion, and spread like a prairie
fire throughout the length and
breadth of our Cdiunty, permeat
ing in time every sphere and
phase of our lives as a people
and as a great Mountain King
dom and Commonwealth. Dur
ing this spontaneous outburst of
handshaking, back-slapping,
and Tieck-hugging, born of gen
uine fellowship and good will,
volunteers could close the well
filled .casket and ferret it away
to some un-inhabitable place,
and there bury it so deep that
its puetrid contents would never
again befoul the atmosphere of
our County.
* -» * *
In conclusion let me say to
one and all that what I have
written, I have written as the
sincere convictions of my heart,
with love and best wishes to
everyone, whether they choose
to agree or disagree wih my
position on these or other mat
ters treated from time to time
