IrllMß [m3 WATKINS & BULLOCK EVERYTHING TO BUILD WITH ROXBORO NORTH CAROLINA 1 Howard Plays Western Role i i For First Time i From suave, gentleman sleuth • as “Bulldog Drummond,” to two • firsted, hard-riding G-Man of the range, is the change John Howard makes when he apppears as a Tex as Ranger in the Paramount ro mantic action-drama, “Texas Ra ngers Ride Again" which opens Monday at the Dolly Madison Theatre. Although the handsome young actor has played a number of wid ely differing roles in the past this is the first time he has been cast in a Western drama. Whilo the picture itself is a fast-paced action story, nevertheless Para j mount felt the leading masculine I romantic role required a good J deal more acting ability than the | i usual Western players could bring j to it, and so they chose Howard.] His acting, they felt, could meas i ure up to the talents of others in the specially-selected cast, such as Ellen Drew, Akim Tamiroff, Bro derick Crawford, May Robson | and Charley Grapewin.

Tribute To Scoutmasters By Bennie Wright In our opinion Joe Guffey, of Ca-Vel Scout Troop 24, has been aiul still is rendering a great ser vice to the community and to scouting. When Mr. Guffey was asked to take over the troop he did not ask what reward he would receive. All he asked was lo be able to see the boys of that troop develop into better citi zens. When he took over the troop, he had practically nothing to work with, as the former troop had been almost a failure. He was taught and is now teaching, to the best of his ability, good char acter, sportsmanship and patriot ism. He teaches fair play and honesty. To add a little more color to scouting, William Pickering, Mr. Guffey’s assistant, purchased a Letter Writing Taught To Group , Raleigh, Dec. 18. —“Letter writ ing” was the subject of a confer ence held in Raleigh for three days last week, attended by rep resentatives of the Unemploy ment Compensation agencies in the five units of Region IV, and guests from other states, with P. B. Pollock, personnel training supervisor, and his ascociates, Ernest C. McCracken and Hugh M. Raper, as hosts, Chairman Charles G. Powell and Mrs. J. B. Spilman also attend. Lewis T. Decker, F. G. Preston and E. P. Mangum, District of Columbia; Joseph P. Conlin and Fred S. Gambrel, Maryland; T. W. Gayle, Virginia; and Thomas E Jeffers and Harry R. Taylor, West Virginia, were Region IV representatives, outside guests be ing T. R. Geddes, Indiana; Mil ton Lewis, New York, and Joseph Flesher, Pennsylvania. J. J. Hader, chief, and C. O. Carlston, and William E. Howe, of the U. C. Training Section, Washington, were aided in con ducting the conference by James F. Grady, Correspondence coun sellor, U. S. Department of Ag riculture.

Mr. Guffey and Mr. Pickering have now had the pleasure of seeing a great majority of their boys continue in scouting until they have become “Eagles” in rank. Some of the band members have continued in music and are now playing in a band in Rox boro. Mr. Guffey and Mr. Pick ering are proud of this group of boys because they have been so close to them for four years. Mr. Guffey and Mr. Pickering will not be remembered as some great men or presidents but the boys, who are developing] into manhood under their supervis ion, will remember them as the men who are teaching them fair play and honesty in all that they do.

GEORGEW KANE Roxboro, N. C. ! “Winter Weight” Feed Required By Livestock Wise motorists change to win ter-weight oil in the automobiles when cold weather arrives. Wise 1 livestock raisers change to “win icr-weight rations” in their feed ing program with the first cold wave, says Prof. E. H. Hostetler, professor of animal husbandry at N. C. State College. “In the range country,” the an imal husbandman stated, “thous ands of cattle have always had I to depend upon the range the year ’round. As a result, death looses are heavy and the ill ef fects of under-nutrition are usu ally clearly revealed in their poor condition and small size. Cotton-' seed cake is used rather exten-1 sively as a supplement ot winter range by wise cattlemen.” Prof. Hostetler says that North Carolina livestock raisers can take a tip from the Great Plains re gion and feed protein supple ments. He points out that South ern cotton fields supply the es sential protein that enables cat tle raisers to secure maximum re sults from dry range grass and reeds,., to maintain breeding herds in good condition, and to prevent costly losses of weight and deaths of animals during winter months. “Breeding cows on the range ..an be wintered in thrifty condi tion on a daily ration of 1 to 2 pounds of cottonseed cake per head, except in severe weather when 2 to 3 pounds are needed,” the State College professor de clared. “For vigorous herd bulls, the feeding of 1 1-2 to 3 pounds of cottonseed cake daily per head is advisable. When range is short, bulls need both cake and supple mental roughage. “Calves, after weaning need the protein and phosphorous fur nished by 1 to 2 pounds of cotton seed cake daily per head. Year ling heifers kept for herd replace ments should receive the same amount.” guards—Cutler 9, Steele, Williams 3, Gaston 7.
