Times do change. Just the other . Mire Prvan, McDowell county Virarian, showed us a Jan. 5, 1911 b of "The Youth’s Companion.” °P; item in the magazine stated: Hereafter the great Santa Fe .Lad system will employ no Sn who is a cigarette smoker." Tt costs money to build log ,ine roads over which logs must ' hauled to the sawmill. In mak ' the timber appraisal, the For t Service deducts the cost of a(i construction from the value ■ the timber. This means that e Forest Service has an invest ent in these roads. When log n(r is completed in a drainage, e service endeavors to protect is road investment by requiring at the water be turned out of a,is and skid trails and that here necessary, these roads be ■ashed in with old laps to con ol soil erosion and to stabilize 0 road. On the Mt. Mitchell ildlife management area, we have )ne one step farther. Our im •ovements crew is now planting •chard grass and Ladine clover 1 old logging roads. This work af initiated last year and brought a fine crop of grass for deer ! feed on. In addition to pro ding deer food, the grass will »lp anchor the soil. The flu has shown no favorit m on this District. Louis Shu rd, Albert Ballew, Bill Balmer, ihn Stanley and myself have all d to wrestle with the bug at e time or another during the st two months. Nature can be cruel at times, at West when a forest fire is cing through the woods, sparrow iwks will sometimes take ad intage of the fact that dozens small animals are fleeing the Lines. The hawks will stay ahead the fire and swoop down al or into the line of advancing lire to secure their terror ricken prey. The subject of flying saucers ep< coming up.

Ida, a red glow became vis ible in the disappearing disk. The occurence was so astonishing, that at the time that it happened, Sid said he didn’t give it much thought, figuring that it was probably some new kind of fire works. More Roundup— From Page 1, This Sec. from collections, credit reports, or from any source except dues and direct contributions. All-Out — Reason for mention of Williams and the Raleigh Merchants bureau at this time is that the organization this month is going all-out on a “Get Out the Vote” campaign. As of last Saturday, the move was snow balling and had attracted the at tention of at least one national traide organization interested in such products. Prediction: Because of the activity of the bureau, the Cap ital City’s vote this year, and in the future, will be much higher —and consequently much more representative of the attitude of all the people—than in the past, Here’s a salute to Williams and the Raleigh Merchants bureau May other organizations go and do likewise. You recall that we wrote here several weeks ago in urging cam paigns similar to that of the Raleigh Merchants bureau that only approximately 50 per cent of the eligible voters participated in our last general election. Broughton And Teague—Wood row Teague and Melville Broug ton are still, technically speak ing, law partners here in Raleigh. However, Melville is working in Umstead’s headquarters and Teague, native of Lexington, is Wake county manager for Olive. Their names are still on the door, but chances are that the partner ship, by mutual consent, will be terminated within a few weeks, whoever wins on May 31. Stag Chosen — Few men did more in 1948 to help Kerr Scott become governor than L. Y. (Stag) Ballentine, who that year was elected, without opposition, Com missioner of Agriculture. But deep in the winter of 1948 Stag cooled on the governor — mainly because it was all too ob vious that the governor had, since his election, grown lukewarm to ward Ballentine. He just didn't love Stag in December as he had in May. Since that time, each has hoed his own row. Early last week, despite what you may hear to the contrary, Kerr Scott was wanting Terry Sanford, Fayetteville Young Democrat and the man buying all that barbecue for the Scott farm event come August, as keynote speaker for the State Democratic convention to be held here on May 22. As usual, State Democratic Chairman Everett Jordan differed with the governor. He wasn’t the only one. It wasn’t that the folks didn’t like Stfnford, but former Governor Cherry was against, as he put it, calling on a “boy to do a man’s work.” Scott gave in. Our information is that Cherry will be the big platform man for the convention and wanted Bal lentine as a man who has always been a faithful worker, has taken his lumps when they came along, as a fellow who can speak with the best of them, and a darned good fellow on top of it. That was the thinking of the Democrats as they chose last week Stag Bal lentine as keynote speaker. TENNESSEE GUESTS Mr. and Mrs. George Green of Rogersville, Tenn., visitfed their daughter, Mrs. J.
