HATCH'S' BATCH MEETING The Hatch’n Patch will meet at 8:00 o'clock Friday evening with Mrs. C. C. Myers. BOUNTY HAS BEST FOREST RECORD itistics reported by Tom ane, N. C. farm forester at eviile, reveal that during the six months Buncombe county [dished the best forest raan jent record in the five county embracing Buncombe, Hend McDowell, Polk and Ruth Ird counties. Considering the il number of farmers and Hand owners who have been management assistance in king and selling their timber *ie N. C. division of forestry Bg this period, Buncombe ty has received fifty-eight per of the total services given lie five county area. |is record is due primarily to ‘ncreasing interest the people tincombe county are taking in Irving their timberland, and it to its best advantage. D foresters point out that »nd owners receive more for their timber in most by having it marked. By ing the advice given them, »nd owners put their lands thrifty, fast growing condi tion, and insure more returns from their timberlands in the near fu ture. The main point to remember, how ever, is that although state for esters assist in the technical as pects of forest management, the responsibility of improving forest land rests with each individual landowner. The time to look into the proper conservation practices to fol|ow is before the timber is cut, not afterward. There is not much that can be done to timber land after it has been cut de structively, except to plant the area and wait for a long period before getting any return from the land. A periodic income can be received every few years, and the timberland will remain in a productive condition by following sound forestry practices. Woodland owners desiring ad vice and assistance in the man agement of their forest lands are urged to contact County Farm Agent Palmer or the N. C. divis ion of forestry, district office, 222 Federal Building, Asheville, N. C. Slalin And His Millions Can't Be Charmed By Us "Two rivers - the red river of communism nnd the white, crys tal clear river of Christianity and Democracy are present in our world today. The red river threat ens to enslave the free peoples of this earth and to destroy all we hold dear." This was the subject which the Rev. Wayne Williams of Oteen developed in a talk at the Lions Club Thursday night at the Monte Vista. Pointing out that the red river of communism began with Karl Marx who hated the church, God, society, and capitalism, the speak er traced the spread of the scourge across Europe and asserted that Stalin and his cohorts are deter mined to conquer the world. The Reds destroy the foundation of civilization and all Christianity. As a result there is a lack of character, morals, and principles. The state is everything and the individual nothing. "The white river, which orig inated with Christ, teaches that all men are brothers and should love one another. As a result our land of America is the happiest on earth and the citadel of free dom nnd the home of Christian civilization,” Mr. Williams said. “But we are face to face with the greatest global struggle in all history. One of the two worlds will predominate—one will mean slavery, the other freedom. A vic tory for communism will mean that all human decency will dis appear from the earth. But the bright sign is that the American people are ahead of the govern ment and are willing to make any sacrifice in order to preserve their way of life. We have learned that we can’t charm Stalin and his 800,000,000 followers,’’ he conclud ed. W’illiam Hickey, president, pre sided at the meeting which was gift exchange night.
