THE ALLEGHANY TIMES SUBSCRIPTION RATES $1.00 Per Year Published Every Thursday Entered as Second-class matter at the Post-office in Sparta, N. C. ERWIN D. STEPHENS,. Editor THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1933. EDITORIAL The County Fair should be an in spiration to every progressive far mer. By means of the Fair he can exhibit products from his farm that are worthy of showing, and he can see what other farmers in the County are doing. Let’s make the Fair this year one of the best ever held. Farm ing is one of the oldest occupations on earth and is worthy of the best that any man can put into the busi ness. The business thermometer of the [country seems to be rising, indicating that business is getting better. In towns having industrial payrolls busi [ness is no doubt better, but so long [as our farmers have to pay higher [prices for what they buy and sell |their products at the depression price level, business will not be better. In iustrial America has felt the influ ence of the Blue Eagle and industrial porkers are rejoicing over shorter lours and increased wages. But the if ten lauded “backbone of the coun try” still works long hours, still re eives low prices for his products, id buys on the rising markets. It to be hoped that the New Deal will in bring the same benefits to the (farmer that it has brought to the idustrial worker. . The Sparta Booster Club might | well have a meeting to consider the N.R.A. organization, as suggested by M. Lawrence. It is through organiza tions of this kind that the NRA is | spreading its influence over the en Itire nation. SONGS OF LONG AGO Here is an old song of the disap pointment and tragedy of some love affair. There are several versions o this song with the same story of the young lover who died. One can bette’ appreciate its plaintive time and me lancholic words when one hears il sung on a dreary wintry day about twilight. George Collins George Collins drove home one cold winter night. George Collins drove home so far; George Collings drove home one dark stormy night, And was taken sick and died. Miss Mary was sitting in yonder hall And sewing her silk so fine; But when she heard that George was dead, [ She laid her sewing aside. She followed him up, she followed [ him down, She followed him to his grave; And there she knelt on bended knees She wept, she mourned, she prayed Unscrew the coffin, lay back the lid, Take off the linen so fine, That I may kiss his cold, pale lipp, For I’m sure he’ll never kiss mine. I Ch, daughter, Oh, daughter, why d you weep so? There are plenty more boys thai George. Oh, mother, Oh, mother, George ha my heart And now he’s dead and gone. Oh, don't you see that lonely dove, A sitting on yonder pine? He’s mourning for his own true lov Just as I mourn for mine. The happiest moments I ever spenl I spent them by his side. The saddest words I evqr heard Was the night George Collins died. TWIN OAKS Cleve Wilson and family of Glade Valley were visiting- here Sunday. Muncey Funk and family, who have been visiting at J. R. Crouse’s for three or four weeks, have returned to their home in Philadelphia. Mr. Dowd of the Standard Oil Co., was here on business last week. Mrs. M. E. Wilson is visiting her daughter Mrs. Harvey Irwin at Strat ford. ' Baseball The best game of the season by the local team was with Piney Creek last Wednesday. The scores tied in the seventh inning 5 to 5, it was ne cessary to play through the eleventh to untie the score, which resulted 5-6 in favor of Piney Creek. The local team has played 18 games this season, winning 12. Next game will be with Sparta High School Tuesday of this week. If you are in need of Blankets for the cool days thats sure to come, call at Smithey’s. With apologies to Cecil Wilson, the world’s lowest paid editor, we borrow a few words: “You can take it from us, your creditors, or any of these sometimes United States,” it pays to be yourself natural. There are those who like to toot their horns—and knockers who get their kick out of living—the latter we’d like to ! ! * * * People are funny, aren’t they? Every minute somewhere one is born they say. And from the very offset of his beginning the folks just don’t whether he is going to be the presi dent of his country or not. Too, there are those who have their adverses in life. Maybe it takes place in front of an automobile, beating a locomotive to a grade-crossing, or just somehow being everything but his natural self. And didj’ever in your life see the bozo who looked like he was to buy out the town and pattern it the way he wanted it? Pe culiar sort of duck with a crust that makes bad indigestion and other ep pizudis. Wonder these type of fellers don’t get mad at themselves some times and try to start something. We recall an epochal statement of Tennyson which reads^ “What you are speaks so loud I can’t hear what you say.” From this we get out argument for subject. We knew the editor was in a hurry for this, but we just did n’t know whether to cuss out the “printer’s devil” at The Times office this week or not. Now there’s a guy who is inhumane. Well sir, we overheard a customer in a local store the other day repri manding a small youngster about his persistent meddling behind the coun ter. A youngster that he was, natur ally he had to be forewarned several times. Finally the party along up and got real mad (we reckon) be cause this statement followed: “You get from behind that counter before I slap a living mortal out of you." Theres a guy what needs sympathy (Of course, we didn’t offer any at this time.) But there are folks who will weigh m your thoughts—something out standing in personality, characteris tics, etc., to loom again over and over in your mind. Maybe its a pipe-dream —or maybe the good Lord intended !t that way. And maybe what a world it would be without our whims, dis positions, and hobbies that bare one’s indenture. And as the climax of our stupidity we can think of a verse which goes something like this: Let me live in my house by the side of the road Where the race of the men go by; Some are good, some are bad, As good and as bad, as I. Let me live in my house by the side of the road And hurl not the cynic’s ban; Where the race dwells on to an ev ening’s sun There let me be a friend to man. And as a parting thought: Being one’s self is better emphasized in a few words—‘If you can’t be what you is, don’t be what you ain’t.’ THE RELATION OF FOR ESTS TO FISH-GAME, (By D. C. Shores) The relation of 'forests to fish and game is the same as home to man. The forest provides food and shelter for the fish and game, more especial ly game, but without the forest our fish would soon become extinct. The natural food obtainable from forest is as important to the birds as it is to the animals and fish. Without the forests it would be impossible to have either. We sometimes are inclined to won der just what part in man’s life the fish and game occupy, and why it is essential that we have them, but af ter thorough consideration and delib eration, we are forced ot agree with James Oliver Curwood who said, “Hu man life is absolutely dependent upon wild life and forest.” In the creation of the earth, forests were arranged for the purpose of ma king a home for wild life as well as to furnish fuel for humanity and the ga me and fish were placed abundantly within them for food and pleasure of man. Even the beautiful song birds that bring joy to the most despodent soul, home within our forests and often give warning to animals and game when danger is near. Now to conserve game and fish it is double important to conserve for ests. To do this, it is the duty of eve ry good citizen to cooperate in keep ing down forests fires, which can be done in various ways. As a rule sportsmen are more care ful about forests fires than others who do not realize the importance of using great care while going through or near the forests, however, some sportsmen could use a little more precaution about throwing away light ed cigerettes and cigars in dry leaves. When we read about disasterous forests fires, we are naturally more careful for a period of time, but we so often forget that through careless ness we may be direct cause of count less disaster to game, fish and forests, besides destroying the home of God’s creatures which in reality we love and would strive to protect if we could only be brought to the realization of our mistake. Many beautiful streams, full of trout and other fish have in some in stances become so nearly dry that fish could not survive and some streams that were not materially af fected so far as water supply was concerned, have failed to furnish natural food for the fish, all because of destroying th$ forests in which they ran either by fire or clearing for cultivation. If every nature loving citizen would cooperate with the sportsmen, conser vation departments and the Issac Walton League, who have made it possible to arrange large timber boundaries for a game refuge, in pre serving our wooded areas and controll shooting, trapping and fishing, it would only be a short time until we would have enough game and fish to furnish every man ample hunting and fishing besides having the benefit of the game in preserving our timber lands. In some parts of the country, peo ple are planting trees in order to get forests started. These people have be come acquainted with the importance of fo -ests and will strive in the future to conserve them more than ever be fore. They realize now that to.protect animals and game will save the troble of transplanting forests, since the birds and animals have a large part Observations By “The Man In The Street” Snappy looking hearse-ambulance Reins-Sturdivant funeral home re ceived other day. . .

DRUG COMPANY SPARTA, North Carolina in distributing seeds of trees, plants and shrubs where they will survive and grow into a beautiful forest. The animals and birds have another very important part in the conservation of forests. Their food is largely made up from bugs, worms and destructive in sects that would soon kill the trees if they were allowed to multiply. The game and fish in Alleghany County is the bigest asset we have which makes it all the more impor tant that we cooperate with those who are spending money and time to save our forests and game. It is im possible to conserve our forests, fish and game unless we are willing to assist those who are working to that end. The owner of the land must first be willing to protect his forests and game before any material goo<^is accomplished along this line. When we fully realize the worth of our game and fish to our county and State as well as the United States, we are reasonable sure that the land own ers will make a special effort to as- j sist in bringing about a condition that ' will materially benefit the country by * conserving our timber lands and ' making a home of happiness for the 1 wild life, thereby, making it possible ! for all men to have the greatest plea sure in the recreational field, shoot ing and fishing, as well as a profit able business to those who trap fur bearing animals for profit.
