CROSSNORE SCHOOL ASKS
Gins OF OLD CLOTHING
Mountain Institution Renders
Aid To Poor Students.
New lives for old clothes! Here at
Crossnore, out of old clothing, the
“white elephant” of many a family,
we build new lives, new hopes, new
possibilities for the future of the
mountains.
CrossnoreSchool came into being,
and derives much of its support, lit
erally from the Ragman’s Pack. Old
clothing, household articles, every
thing used by human beings, all are
sent to and sold in our sales room to
the people of these highlands, at
prices within the range of even their
lean pocketbooks.
Crossnore School is a school with
a difference. It is a Christian, non
denominational institution founded by
and for the mountain people. The cen
tral units are the State supported
and controlled public school, and the
boarding facilities for those of the
children who are unable to attend
as day students. Connected with this
latter are the school farm, the weav
ing rooms, the community work, and
all the means that are found to help
the students earn part or all of their
expenses.
The State cares for the scholastic
education,butthe school must ask its
friends to lend their support for the
rest. We need money, much of it, for
the daily use of coal and food, for
helpers other than the few the State
Vocational Bureau can send, for the
support of dormitories, the hospital
and the community work. We need
money for scholarships in order that
needy students can stay in school, and
to support little children not yet old
enough to earn any of their way.
Many of our friends do their bit by
sending us a dollar a year.
But even where a money gift is im
possible, there are old clothing and
home furnishings which in the Mira
cle Melting Pot of our Sales Room
can become the money we need so
much. Send us the outgrown, the
out-of-style or season clothing; send
us anything but old text books. There
is a market for it here. We can sell
at least half as much again as we
ever receive, little money as there
is here in the mountains. Search your
attics, closets, drawers. Ask your
friends, and their friends. Have your
club, your, church, your Sunday
School get up bundles and boxes and
send them to Crossnore School. What
better return could there be on any
investment than new life, higher edu
cation and swifter progress for man
kind ?
Since the lean hard years set in, it
has been hard for anyone to earn a
living and support his own loved ones,
let alone contribute to the life and
happiness of others. But here at Cross
nore is a work that can be helped by
you with little cost to yourself. We
know that you are regularly asked to
contribute something to help others.
We know too how little there is to
spare in any home today. But be
cause our need is so great we dare to
ask.
New lives for old clothes! Help us
to keep lighted the Aladdin’s Lamp
of hope and ambition here in the
Highlands. Help us to help these gen
uine Americans to help themselves,
not by giving them things, but by
showing them the way to get them
for themselves.

RARE SEA BIRD CAPTURED
IN THIS COUNTY
(By Claude J. Smith.)
About October 19, 1933, Carl Irwin
proprietor of Twin Oaks Motor Com
pany, captured a bird in a pond just
across the highway from his home.
The bird seemed to be crippled in
some way, so Mr. Irwin took it his
house, and kept it a few days. He
said that when placed in the kitchen
sink it would swim well. After keep
ing it a few days he killed it, and,
not wishing to throw it away had it
mounted by Roy Crouse, of Sparta.
It was then placed in Twin Oaks
cafe for observation, and, if possible,
for identification. Numerous persons,
including traveling salesman, saw
the bird, but were at a loss as to its
identity. On October 17, I learned
of the “bird without a name,’’ and,
as I was returning from Sparta, stop
ped to see it, and see if I could name
it. I could not name ti on sight, so I
made careful and complete notes as
to color, size, shape, and other char
acteristics. When I returned home I
identified it with the able help of
Reed’s “Guide of Water Birds East
of the Rockies,” as a Sooty Shear
water, a bird found on the North At
lantic coast in summer, whose nest
ing and winter range is not given,
and possibly not definitely known.
The brid is about 16 inches long, soo
ty grayish, black all over with the
underwing coverts whitish. The bill
and feet are black; the feet being
webbed, like those of a duck. The
form of the bird is rather slender,
and it has long, slender wings. The
bill, which is black, is largest at the
tip than at the base. These birds are
rarely ever seen unless on the watei,
when they take their food, which is
composed of oily refuse. This bird has
never before been recorded in the
State, as I learn, and. possibly not
many times in the United States. The
identification of the bird brings Al
leghany’s total to 199 species, all
seen by the writer.

Reduction in Dairy
Cattle Proposed
Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 7—A dairy
cattle reduction campaign, similar to
that carried on by the federal govern
ment for hogs, cotton and wheat, has
been suggested to Secretary of Agri
culture Wallace by Dr. Lewis C.
Crabb, chief veterinarian of the Tex
as Livestock Sanitary Commission.
Crab proposes slaughter, or dis
posal in some manner, of all diseased
dairy cattle and all which do not give
sufficient milk to return a profit in
normal times.
; He suggested in his plan, which he
forwarded to Secretary Wallace, that
athorough test be carried on through
out the United States of the health
of cattle. This test, he suggested,
could be made by the country’s nu
merous agricultural agencies at a
small cost.
I Such a test, he said, would show
that there are approximately 5,000,
000 dairy cows in the United States
which should be elminiated because
of disease, or due to their unprofita
bleness as milk producers.
, He also advocated a processing tax
on dairy products, similar to that
placed on wheat and cotton, to pay
farmers for disposing of the diseased
| or poor quality cattle.
The campaign against diseased cat
tle, aside from its economic benefits,
would greatly aid in reducing tuber
culosis, Crabb said, while the elmini
nation of unprofitable cattle from a
herd would aid every farmer.
BLUE EAGLE IS UNCLE SAM’S
BIRO.
When the call was made for vol
unteers to sign up under the Blue
Eagle banner there were many who
enrolled evidently without giving due
thought to the significance of their
act. Whether they willingly or anxi
ously signed or not, they did so very ;
readily, and immediately they were
given free of charge bright emblems
to be used in their places of business.
Those emblems are valuable. They are
the best advertisements business can
have. In fact, many merchants have
seemingly placed higher estimate
upon them than upon newspaper ad
vertising, which is perfectly allright, !
the Blue Eagles being in the same |
army with newspapers—fighting for \
the rights of others
But it was no more than might1
have ben expected that there would 1
be some who would sign the agree- '
ments, secure the emblems and use
them to their advantage without
compliance with the terms. It is to
this class that President RooseveU
n^w addresses the warning that he]
will call for a fine of $500 and six
months imprisonment for violation
of Ine Blue Eagle agreement.
It is a pity that this warning from
the President should be necessary.
Why is it that some people v/ill be
so selfish that they will try to take
advantage of a noble movement on
the part of the great majority of the
people of the United States—to make
such use of the Blue Eagle as to fur- (
tlier their own interests without giv
ing in return their wholehearted sup
port? The answer is that some people
will put self fist and above all other
things, even disregard a sacred ob
ligation.
Warning was given in the begin-1
ning by General Hugh S. Johnson,
NR A chief, not to “triflle with that
bird.” Wise people heeded the warn
ing. Others wise enough to under- j
stand why they should comply with
the terms were so selfish that they
allowed their breed to get the better
of their judgment. Now it is time for
checking up, and all who have prac
ticed selfishness nad better get right
with the Eagle.
It is hoped that no one will oe
found violating the agreement. What
we would like to see is a check-up
with a total of one hundred per cent
compliance with Blue Eagle rules.—

Public Opinion
ALCOHOL?—YES OH NO
Icohol is a poison. It is poisonous
under any law legal or illegal. Op
ponents of the 18th Amendment may
change the law, governing the rela
tion of alcohol to the government,
but they cannot change the nature of!
alcohol. Tt will still remain protoplas
mic poison. It can not ever be classed
as a food. Its effect upon cells and
tissues will still be narcotic, anaes
thetic, and depressing. It will render
its user more susceptible to disease.
It wil interfere with their recovery
when ill and one’s expectation of long
life at all times. Excessive use of al
cohol will produce abnormal nervous
control of the mind and body. It
destroys the judgment or reason and
places man on the level with animal
kingdom. Alcohol is still capable of
producing heart trouble. It can distort
the judgment and inflame the passion
as no other drug does.
No user of alcohol can hope to be a
good parent, athlete, car driver, lo
comotive engineer or aeroplane pi
lot. Repeal can never make a boy or
girl a better scholar or finer Chris
tian—so why vote for repeal?

Ford V-8’s Win European
Race On Mountain Roads
“Six Ford V-8 cars piloted by
Dutch drivers triumphed conclusively
over five European and two other
American entrants in the fifth annual
running of the grueling 5-day Inter
national Alpine Trial over 1,165 miles
of Swiss, Italian and French moun
tain roads, according to official re
ports of the race just received here.
Three of the winning Fords driven
by a Dutch team captained by Dr.
J. J. Sprengen van Eyck captured the
coveted Coupe des Alpes, while the
three other Fords won the first three
places in the individual competition
for the Coupe des Glaciers. The first
two tied for first place with the best
score of any of the dozens of contest
ants in the five classes competing.
The annual Alpine contest is proba
bly the most severe test of motor car
endurance and performance conducted
in Europe. It is open only to stock
cars as sold to the public. Its route
from Merano, via St. Moritz, Turin,
and Grenoble to Nice, includes the
ascent and descent of 12 major passes
with steep winding roads, scores of
dangerous “hair-pan” turns and a
never-ending variety of road surfaces
which test alike the stamina of the
cars and the skil of the drivers.
Most difticult of all the passes Is
the Stelvio, in the Ortler Alps be
tween Italy and Switzerland. It rises i
to 9,150 feet above sea level. The
highway leading to it is the highest
automobile road in the world. In the
course of the 11-mile climb from the)
valley, the drivers were forced to ne- J
gotiate 52 “hair-pin” bends before
reaching the snow-capped top of the
mountain.
The Ford cars and other competi
tors in the principal class were re
quiredto make the ascent of this dif
ficult pass at an average of 28 miles
an hour. Many were forced to stop
along the way to replenish the water
in their violently steaming radiators
but the Ford cars came up the pass
in formation without a halt and con
tinued their journey without adding j
water.
At the final inspection of the com - 1
peting cars at the finish in Nice where <
penalties were imposed for faults in j
condition, the Ford cars were passed
without penalty and the drivers com- {
plimented by the judges upon th; J
condition of the cars, both mechani j
cally and in appearance.
