But this is just when good management can turn prob auie losses nun sure proms. Hens need water nearly as much in the winter as in the sum mer. To keep water from freez ing, an electric water system using heating tape is a good in vestment. Regardless of the type used, the waterer should be high enough from the floor to prevent contamination. Poorly ventilated hen houses create a stuffy, unhealthy atmos phere. Exhaust fans and air in takes will solve the problem-but keep direct drafts off the floor and birds. Most common management fault during winter months is overcrowding. A recent study of space requirements for laying flocks, approved by poultry hus bandry departments of all 48 land grant colleges, recommends 3 to 4 feet of floor space per bird, including roosting pit; also 6 to 7 inches per bird of roost space (heavy birds may require more). Four linear inches of feeder space and one individual box-nest per five birds were suggested as a minimum. A profit-wise poultryman will allow as much room as possible to prevent feather picking and can nibalism. Maximum egg profit in winter depends also on the birds getting plenty of light. Ample window space is a good start. Electric lights controlled with a time clock will help. Poor sanitation is a widespread failing among poultrymen. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates a loss of 307< to 40'/* in income from chickens infested with parasites. Frequent stirring of litter with hydrated lime and use of insecticide on birds and in roosts are helpful. Finally, a good winter feeding program includes all ingredients necessary to good health. For best results, use packaged feeds containing a balanced formula. As a postscript, it is suggested that flocks be rigidly culled of weak or sickly birds and eggs frequently gathered. These practices point the way to winter profits, says the Agri cultural Service Division of the Union Bag-Camp Paper Corpo ration, makers of multiwall bags for feed.

Mrs. Miller is the former Miss Midge Freeman, and Mr. Miller is the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Miller of Old Fort. Winter’s Going! Are you fed up with Winter, too? We ought to get together, For everything from now till Spring Is just a waste of weather. And now that Christmas holidays And New Year’s joys are over I’m ready for the birds and bees And lambs knee deep in clover. Right now I long for rhubarb pie And dandelion greens, Twould be a joy to cut the grass Or even put on screens And though a picnic I detest If right now you’d invite me To tread the ways of mayonnaise The prospect would delight me. So, come on, Winter, do your stuff And get it off your chest. I’m counting minutes till the day I shed my coat and vest And stroll beneath the budding boughs With Spring in all her glory. Dudley T. Fisher in “Columbus Dispatch.” PUBLIC MEETINGS— From page 1 cent more. But of this, 5 per cent would be used for the exten sion of water lines to those areas in the districts which are now without service. The City, under terms of the contract which they offered, would take over maintenance of all wat er and sewer lines in the county districts. This is now paid for by taxes in the districts and has been rising at the rate of approx imately $10,000 per year. Last year the amount was approximate ly $90,000 which was used to re pair lines in some places and to replace other sections of the pipe which is now more than 30 years old and which is disintegrating at a rapid rate. This is expected to continue at an increasing rate each year in the future. Although the city would take over the maintenance of the lines and the tax for this service would be removed from the list in the districts, the residents of the coun ty districts would still have to pay off the bonds which were used back in the late twenties to build the system. If the residents of the county districts approve, the county com missioners will sign the contract with the city and turn over to them the maintenance of the water and sew'er lines. The Sullivan Act, which many now feel is outmoded, would be replaced. MRS. HAMBY HOSTESS TO NAOMI SCHELL CIRCLE The Naomi Schell circle of the First Baptist church met February 12 at the home of Mrs. Douglas Hamby, Jr. Mrs. Hamby, president, presided over the meeting.

JOHNSON— From Page 1 The love for the father and the mother in the heart of the child is so great that to give up some of this love to another member of the family is very hard to do, he said. One point that Dr. Hornowski made is that children should not be disciplined while the parent is angry. The parents should teach the child that the laws of society should be respected. “Love is the happiness in the home. Humans have a great capac ity to give love but the most im portant thing in the family circle is to love and to be loved. Ma terial comforts, clothes and toys, can not be a replacement for love. Love is not a demanding attitude, such as expecting something in re turn,” he concluded. SHOPE CREEK By Mrs. Thelma Buckner Rt. 2 — Asheville, N. C. After church Sunday we went to Swannanoa and had dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Zeb Nichols. It was a family get-together and there were 18 present. Next Sunday we will all meet with Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Gregg. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Nichols will celebrate their wedding anniver sary Feb. 22. Those celebrating birthdays in February: Henry Ingle, Sr., 14; Henry Ingle, Jr., 15; Mrs. Evelyn Robinson, 16; Mrs. Bertha Nichols, 20; Wilbur Creasman, 21; Miss Ellen Jones and Cathy King, 22. Mrs. Irene Gregg and I attend ed a plastic party near Swannanoa Saturday night. Gail and Ray Robinson left for Washington, D. C., on Feb. 12, to see their father, W. B. Robinson, who is seriously ill at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Wanda Davis. The Rev. and Mrs. A. D. Smith visited on Shope Creek Wednes day p.m. We are always glad to have them visit us. Mrs. Anna Clontz Gregg (my Mom) had a twinge of nostalgia when she read the last item of Old Fort news in last week’s B. M. News describing the spring-like atmosphere in and around Old Fort at this season of the year. Old Fort was once her home town. Everywhere we see signs of ap proaching spring. A nest of baby gray squirrels was discovered in a tree here after it had been felled for wood. They were left in the nest, but it sems the mother movd them elsewhere. It is said that “winter weather slowly yields to spring; goes away only to re turn another day.” Such was the case last Thursday when it snowed all morning. Mrs. Bud Pruett is back home after a long visit in Flint, Mich., with her brother and family, Mr. and Mrs. Thod Gregg. Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Creasman, Konnie and Cathy motored to Barnardsville Sunday of last week and were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Edwards. 1 read an item in Bittersweet column which reminded me of an incident of much similarity. J. W. Buckner, (my father-in-law) had one such clock which stood upon the mantle. Dad Buckner went to place a log of wood on the open fire and in raising up struck his head against the mantle. The tired old clock, which had refused to run for years, started striking and struck as I recall about forty times before stopping. We always enjoy reading Bittersweet. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Moody and Jerry visited us Sunday of last week. Lloyd Gregg has been discharg ed after two weeks as a patient at Moore VA hospital.
