BROWN ~ SHOP MANAGER Published Every Thursday By YANCEY PUBLISHING COMPANY A Partnership Entered as second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the Post Office, Burnsville, North Carolina, under the act of March 3, 1879. EDITORIAL COMMENT The International Resist ance Company Plant near Ashe ville is closed. In an article in last Sunday’s AstoevrHe-Citizten Times, titled “In Some Homes The End of Day Brings Fear”, the plant personnel manager was quoted as saying the plant was closed "to protect the employees who wanted to work from violence and threats”. A strike was called at the Internationl Resistance Co. plant around the middle of No vember. Some of the employ ees who. were not union mem bers continued to work; These people who were interested in working, and making an hon est living were on the receiv ng end of threast and violence Hast week. • ■--(Persons who, as far as is known to us, were guilty only of re fusing to sign union carids, and who -wanted to continue earning an honest dollar suf fered loss of property -through violence and loss of sleep through fear of criminals working under cover of dark less. Workers who refused to cease work received telephone threats at night. They were awakened 'By breaking glass as rocks showered through windows of their homes. They sit at night with guns in their laps hoping to protect themselves from further acts of violence. That is the reasn the Inter » nationtl Resistance Co. plant is closed. 1 1 The local president of the DEYTON FARM SUPPLY i) ffg Yancey County W CHECKERBOARD' NEWS Os Deyton Peggy Ray a 4-iH Clubber pf Celo, is now reaping the bene fits of feeding and proper management of her flock of Rhode Island pullets. She fed them Startena & Growena up until they were about 20 weeks old and then switched to the complete laying ration “Layent” During November, with the egg size still not up to stand ard, s he purchased $20.00 worth of Layena and sold $54.10 worth of eggs, or a pro fit of $34.10.. With several more months of good production and the pro spects for good prices for eggs, Peggy should realize a very nice profit from her hens. This profit is from doing a job right f.om start to finish with Purina. COLD WEATHER POULTRY MANAGEMENT TIPS '!• Ventilate house. Let fresh air in without admitting drafts; let moisture-laden air out. If strong ammonia fumes hit you when you open house in the morning, more ventilation is needed. 2.

I. 0.) was quoted as saying of the violence. “I don’t' know where it comes from”. Burnsville has plants that employ many people. And we are hoping in the early future chat many more will be em ployed. We believe that Burns ville plants will never have to close because of mob rule. From what has been demon strated' here in the pasL-lhere s evidence tht workers in Jurnsville manufacturing 1 plants will never be the cause cf a plant closing due to mob rule, nor will they incite vio- Sjnce against a neighbor be cause he wants to work. Our workers are individuals who have intelligence enough to think for themselves and talk if or themselves,, with a spirit of cooperation for fellow workers and plant management. Our workers haw faith. Faith in their government to protect them against too low income for their labors. Faith in their lemployer that he will not take advantage of his position. Faith in themselves that if for any reason, they become find with their employment, they can get a better position elsewhere. Our workers are individu als who respect their neighbors as themselves. And our plants, under those conditions, should never have to close because of mob Aile. i keep water at 50 degrees or higher. Birds will dock you if forced to drink icy water.-” 3. Cull old hens carefully. Research shows it doesn’t pay to hold over heavy breeds and not more than 25% 0 i the Leghorns. 4. Extra light pays.

V* Os course most of o ur read ers are familiar with the say ing, “there’s no sore like an old sore.” Well there’s an old sore that could have been cured long ago by a little needed at tention which has unfortunat ely broken .out in a new spot in Burnsville, N. C., resulting in quite a bit of inconvenience and possible damage. We speak of the oft repeat ed neglect of the City Water Department to notify patrons along some water line when it is going to be necessary to cut 'the water off in that locality for repair work. The latest in stance of this inconsiderate practice to come to our atten tion resulted in draining a val uable hot water tank in a cer tain home while a hot fire was goig in the heater.
