His two-aore pond waa teMrety frozen over except where a spring ran into it Sensing the warmer spring water, bass and bream, somewhat mnriu, concent ated in the small patch of open v aier. To catch fiah the farmer asnPly sel ected fish of appropriate size and pulled them out by hand. •• • • Speaking of nun* fish, folks along the coast sometimes get a free iieiping of sea trout or weak fish during the coldest winter days. A sudden drop of water tempera ture in sloughs and river stauries where trout hang out in the win ter sometimes undergo a :andasion referred to as a “numib-c it." The fish get so cold so sudds ly that they become numb and fie t to the Many Bards Carry Nai aes Oi Deceas ed Persons They say that 460 mil' m Bw ings Bonds are now held throughout the country. of them, of course, are 15 oi 28 year* old, or more. The bonds, that Is. I not the people. With the: mans outstanding, it is only lexical to expect that a great many A these bonds carry the names es People T.'ho are no longer living. That’s the purpose of bringing this up here. If there are ooads in your family carrying the names of persons who have died aii Ce the bonds were bought, you tr ay want, to bring them up to date by sub stituting the name of a present family member. The Treawy wll do this for you, without charge. One thing to resnemper. You’ll have to provide the Treasury with a death Certificate for the person whose name is being removed from the bond. That’s because the i-egulationa require the permission of a co-owner or beneficiary whose name is being dropped. There’s no requirement that you get this bond reissued, -you know, it’s Just a service the Treasury , provides the bond owner. ■ "• 1 ir ! j : 1 ■ —■■■■■■wn.nut'iiaj.. v "■ ' januaican be rift OR, l£T3 AIL GO TO HIE BUICK SPIRTS CAR RALLY. i 4*~ ■| m, Vou My you're jus: Plato sick aorj tintd ot spending ar .tlte .Ireary Let's get durtr . our Butch Sports Car natty-rrtuch winter in that car i ou’ve got now?

You don’t have to change the .umber; that stays with the boat or the life of the boat. Reg l str; on .cer tificates coincide with the alendar year, and it is unlawful t operate a numbered boat as of i ht now without a 1364 certificate A new boat, of course, requ res i initial registration, plus ptaevne of the assigned number.

C. Farm Bureau Federation America’s lush green country side offers a story you won’t get merely by looking from a car window.. It’s the story of poverty festering at the core of the world’s most amazing system of agriculture. Under Secretary of Agriculture Charles S. Murphy peered past the countryside’s serene surface during a recent address in Mem phis, Tennessee. Here is Part of what he saw; —“The morality rate of child ren five to fourteen is 50 per cent higher in rural than urban areas and 100 per cent higher for ages 14 to 24.” —"Kura l America has almost three times the proportion s of dilapidated and substandard hou ses as urban .America.” —Only thirty per cent of rura l people go to college, compared to 50 per cent of rrban youth. In maw rural communities, the high school graduate is the exception rather than the rule..” —' ‘Three-quarters of the families and individuals employed as farm laborers have total annual income bek>y nationally - accepted stan dards of adequacy.” The farmer in other words, isn’t basking in the luxury of the farm dollar which continues to cimb in gross every yeaar.

We praise the dedication our teachers have shown under adverse circumstances. After 60 years of one party rule, North Carolina’s public education program has been ranked 45th in the nation. The Republican Party believes that the present methods of selecting school boards in North Carolina contributes to this condition. We favor the selection of all educational boards simultaneously in biennial, non-partisan elections by popular vote of the people where the school board is to serve. 2) Election Laws. Our State Constitution proPeriy declares “all elections ought to be free." istration of the election laws should not be part of the partisan apparatus of a political party. ■’ Tb# Republican Party advocates these changes: <a) Provide for the appointment of election officials to represent the State of North Carolina and not the political Party. (b) Remove so-called markers who infest the polls and perform no.' , proper or useful function; but who merely act as solicitors on ■-’-v 'behalf o particular Pohticaf affties, and often intimidate voters and make fraud possible and easier to verpetrate.'‘ (c) Abolish the civilian absentee ballet- It is now openly used as an , Instrument of fraud. Such use is not occasional, but is widespread " v and is cynically admitteo on the floors of our Legislature. It has - been abolished in our Primaries tout-has-been deliberately retained in the General Election in dlsre gartT of the Constitutional Decla ration of Freedom and in a form contrary to the recommendations of the State Board of Elections. - ** • * We solicit the support of every citizen for these proposals apd urge our friends and neighbors of different Jolitical persuasion to adopt them as a party. .We are confident that bi-partisan support for these Proposals can remove much distrust, bitterness and ill-feeling that divides our citizens and delays solution of the difficult economics, social and educational problems of Yancey County.

This reminder Is from the fishing experts at Mercury out boards, who point out the signi ficance of Dingoll-Johnson funds that are being used to excellent advantage in most states. Fishing waters are often talc en for granted by anglers. Bu) a lot of behind-the-scenes de velopments, financing and hart work are necessary to provM* new areas at a rate that keep* pace with the growing numbei of fishermen. • D-J funds play a prominent role in these developments. Here, in brief, is how they work: Each state is entitled, to a pro-rated share depending upon i its number of licensed fisher •- men and its area in square miles. Then it must propose a project compatible with the pur pose of the grant. Further, the state . must match each three .dollars of D-J money with one .dollar of its own. ] ' The projects which have been approved are many and vary considerably, ranging from i scientific investigation to i«ptd acquisition. The most tangible are those which have resulted In the de-' velopment of new fishing areas , and public access points to good jfishing streams and- lakes. i I Taxes are often a source of i irritation, justifiably or not, but ; j here is one case where the re* isults can be seen. And, after all, what's more important than fishin’? I
