| THE ALLEGHANY TIMES SUBSCRIPTION RATES I $1.00 Per Year Published Every Thursday *' Entered as Second-class matter at the Post-office in Sparta, N. C. ERWIN D. STEPHEN a,... Editor THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1933! EVE KYONE MUST HELP Not anotuer winter like the last! That was the pledge of the new Administration when it came into of fice. Every effort is being given to achieve it. It represents the most ear nest hope of every citizen. But government alone can’t do it all. VVe can spend money for relief— and we are, but there is never enough. We can hiuld public works—but there comes an end to that, and the public treasury is not bottomless. A large share of any kind of relief effort must be borne by the individual citi zen. And this doesn’t mean charity, vi tal as that is. The best kind of relief is that which spends money and pro vides pobs on projects which are per manently valuable, and gives those whoy pay the bill something really needed. That is true whether the work Is done by the Federal Government oi the State or John Jones down the street. A dollar spent for a new house, oi to repair an old one, does double du ty. An extremely large share of il goes directly to labor in your owi: town. The rest of it goes to various industries, through numerous pockets It touches many states and communi ties. It is always growing—and by the time it has run its course it has done the work of fifty or hundred dollars Remember that—and remember too that you have a selfish interest ir building and repairing while prices: are still in the economic basement. Early in October the National Safe ty Congress met in Chicago. It was greeted with a message from Presi dent Roosevlt which read in part “The conservation of human life, anc the prevention of accidental injuries is of vital importance to our'welfare and happiness . . . '*We sacrificed 88,000 lives througl accidents last year. Approximately!) 000,000 people were injured. The eco nomic costs run close to two billior dollars. The social cost is immeasur able. Briefly stated, that is our na tional accident problem, and it cer tainly offers a most serious challenge to the American people.” At its meeting, the Congress for mulated plans for continuing its un remitting fight against accidents thru 1934. In that fine work it will be aided by other organizations such as tht National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, which works unremittingly in the interest of safer, happier living. In certain fields — notably that of industry—the work has .produced fine fruit. In others— particularly the automobile—the pu blic response has generally been dis couraging. And the public says—in money, in health, in irreplaceable lives. This year there has been a start made in lowering the automobile death toll, and it will be appreciably under the 1932 level. But* thousands of careless drivers still roam the highways, a constant menace to the rest of us. The incompetent and the discourteous and the congenitally reckless still guide tons of metal at high speeds. Here indeed, as the Pre sident said,'Is a great challenge to the American people. Doubting Thomases who throw cold water on the NRA because it has not brought a return in 60 days of all the prosperity we had expected might ponder with seriousness the recent ad dress of President Angell, of Yale Un iversity. Dr. Angell is not a stranger to North Carolina, have been one ol the distinguished visitors at the in auguration of President Graham, oi the University of North Carolina, anc his speech on that occasino was one of the hoppiest made there. Speaking to the students of Browr University, Dr. Angell declared thal If the recovery efforts fail the “some thing more drastic may well succeed it, for men will not indefinitely toler ate the continuation, much less the repetition of the hopeless mess oui earlier economic and political systemf have landed us in.” This is plain lan guage, not from a wild-eyed radical but from one of the sanest of our Un iversity presidents. Dr. Angell pointed out that in this age of transition from an individualis tic and competitiv system to one 01 government control, it is “incumbenl on the universities to stand firm ir defense of the imperishable things o: the spirit” The NRA is not a cure-all for the evils of the depression, but it is t •tart in the right direction. Its pur pose is to put men back to work anc pay them a living wage. It is only ar entering wedge and the Roosevelt Ad ministration now recognizes this fact Too much was expected of at the be ginning, and Just now the farmer noi only isn’t sharing in its benefits bul is actually suffering as a result of it for the rise in prices of the products he sells hasn’t kept pace with the rise of prices for the things he buys That problem must also be solved hut there can be no turning back or the NRA.. That, as President Angel; •ays, must continue. Raleigh News And Observer Public Opinion Dear Editor: Will you give me space in your paper to answer a rumor that is oeing circulated in certain sections i of tins county and by people that a>e not informed as to the functioning of our government. It is rumored that the government ^ agents are coming through this coun- ! ty and where they find*a family with more than two hundred jars of can-! i ned vegetables that they will confis-1 cate all above two hundred and give them to those that do not have any. There is no reason or foundation for such a story as this, and every one should brand it as a falsehood and stop the circulation of such a tale There are and always will be agen cies that will be soliciting foed and clothing for the needy, but it will be begged and not taken, and then it will not be any agents of the U. S. Government that will be doing the soliciting. I think that it is the patri- : otic duty of every informed citizen and every teacher in the county to make public- statements every time an opportunity is given that such a statement fs false and without any foundation. Yours truly, G. Glenn Nichols. TOO BUSY TO LIVE! FOR PERSONS AFFLICTED WITH HUURYITIS—HOPE FOR THEM THE BEST. (New York Times.)

It is not surprising that State Highway Chairman Ef-B. Jeffress re ports that every Federal government department is behind the plan for a scenic highway ofrm Washington tc the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This most remarkable of the na tural beauty spots in Eastern Ameri ca, and equal to any inAmerica, ap peals to the imagination of every per * son who comes in contact with it. Already more tourists arc visiting this park than any other park in Am erica. This is because it is within a couple of days of all the industrial centers of the Eastern seaboard and the Middle West. One may not have the time or the means to make a trip to the Far West, but one can get a way for a trip of a few days to this park. And one can see in this park not only mountains of as much grand eur as any he will find in this country but he will also find a greater variety of natural scenery. While the Rocky Mountains reach to a higher level above the sea., they rise out of elevated plateaus, so that the scenic effect is not more imposing than in the Great Smoky Mountains The Rockies are barren while the Smokies are covered with virgin for ests. In these days of high tension and frayed nerves, nothing is more refreshing to a tired man or woman than a trip to the mountain country. The construction of a 500-mile high way from Washington to the Great Smokies will connect it with the cen ters of population throughout the East. Literally millions of people wil! be attracted to Western North Caro lina. That region will become the great playground of Eastern Ameri ca.That is one of the things that is being stressed in these hard times. Americans must learn to play as well as work. They must learn how to use their leisure time to advantage. Raleigh News And Observer GOLD AND EMPLOYMENT Mr. Roosevelt’s latest announce • ment on gold, in which he pledged i the government to offer a market at the world price for as much of the yellow metal as is offered to it, will ■ havea salutary effect on this country The purpose of the plan as affect ing currency and credit expansion i£ of only academic interest to most of us. Its effect will dobtless be an im portant expansion of mining activi ties, both here and abroad. Gold k like everything else—the wider and more profitable the market, the more effort will be given to finding and i developing the product. Thousands of men will find new work in the mining industry. Thou sands of families will receive thoir livelihood because of it. And millions of dollars will be put in circulation, to surge through the veins of industry and speed the work of recovery. ; THERE’S NO ESCAPING A recent survey made by the New Jersey Taxpayers Association indi cates the main reason why the av- j erage citizen pays much Ies3 attention j to the problem of taxation than he should—and, as a result, lets the co3t of government reach fantastic heights Only one out of ten New Jersey 1 families paid any direct tax to the j federal government in 1930. That, year the income tax produced reve nue to the extent of $23,000,0000 in in the state, and 93 per cent of it was paid by 9 per cent of the popu lation. The New Jersey experience, it may be taken for granted, is re flected to a greater or lesser degree in other states. The upshot of this is that millions have conceived the notion that taxes are something they escape—and that the services of government they re ceive are paid for by someone else. That's true- -so far as direct taxation is concerned. But direct taxation r a very minor thing in comparison to indirect taxation. The vast bulk of governmental revenue conies from taxes on business, which are passed on to the buying public. When we buy a glass of beer, switch on a light, rent a house, drive the car around the block, purchase clothes or food or other necessities, we’re paying taxes whether we realize it or not. And the person of moderate means i3 hit a great deal harder, by comparison, than is the person of wealth. The tax on a gallon of gasoline or a movie ticket, for example, is precisely the same whether it’s paid by a day lab orer or a millionaire. That the millions of ordinary citi zens have the most to gain from tax reduction and stand to lose most when taxes rise,, is something for them to start thinking about. YHlie fire loss in the United States in 1931 was $464,633,265. Fixes cost annually in this country about 15, 000 human lives. Most of these fires could have been prevented if due pre caution had been taken. It is proba bly a conservative guess that recent fire losses in Western N. C. from for est fires will go over a million dol lars. Such losses make terrible in roads on the material wealth of our people. At this season of the year when the hillsides are covered with dry leaves and high winds are blow ing the danger of fire is great. Each person should use every precaution not to start a blaze that may destroy valuable property and even human lives. For several years the N. C. Department of Conservation and De velopment has tried to educate our people about fire prevention. Wardens have%been appointed, fire towers built, and educational programs given in the schools. Slowly the public has been made to realize that forest fires are public enemies. HELP PREVENT FOREST FIRES! AW—WELL! “It ain’t goin’ to rain no mo’ — would better apply to exact condi tions right now, than just merely stating that the Old North State had gone dry ... a certain guy about town “was on Lie wood pile” the other day, and ced some things he’d do if we would tell the world about the news, so we’re waiting by the lamplight of the moon—’nuff ced! . . . Twlxt me and the rest of us, looks like turkeys hereabouts are absconding these parts, and our succulent for that day when we cross our legs under somebody’s table will have become vanished. Mayhap, all well’s that ends well—perhaps, thats our the sis for Thanksgiving, 1933. But we didn’t start to write a drab proclamation about it nohow, but we will have the kick of being right along somewhere enjoying these worldly goods just like the goods-box whsttler that hasn’t noth ing to he thankful for—and satis fied with that . . . For with health good will of everybody, and things looking as good as they do right here at home, we can only thank our Master who sees and knows all things for the best. PINNACLE PICK-UPS F. W.

The following information relative to killing and curing pork and beef on the farm should be of value to the farmers of Alleghany County. This information is iurnished by Mr. R. E. Nance, Assistant in Animal Hus bandry Research, North Carolina Ex periment Stattion, Raleigh, N. C.: Pork 1. How would you recognize tuber culosis and hog cholera in a hog car cuss : Tuberculosis is easily recognized in a carcass after slaughtering. This is a contagious and infectious d disease affecting both man and domestic ani mals. If the lymph glands of the neck, liver, lungs, and those along the in testines contain little nodules or poc kets of pus, and the spleen, ribs, and backbone are infected the hog has a generalized case of tuberculosis and the meat is unfit for food. Hog cholera is more easily recog nized before killing than tuberculosis as the animal shows signs of sick ness. Tiny blood spots appear in the skin, in the glands of the neck and in the internal organs. The kidneys are usually lighter in color, covered with red spots, resembling a turkey egg. If the hog has any of the above symp toms it is unfit for food and should be burned at once. 2. Is an injured animal fit for food ? Yes, if bled and dressed as soon as the injury occurs. If inflammation sets in this will cause the meat to sour during the curing process. 3. Should a sour in heat be killed fcr pork ? Never kill a sow that is in heat. At this time the meat is in an in flamed condition and will not bleed out well. This makes it almost impos sible to cure the meat without it souring. The pregnant animal is all right for pork if she is not too near the farrowing time. 4. What is the average dressing per centage for hogs ? By dressing percentage we mear the proportion of chilled dressed car cass to live weight. If a. barrow weighed 200 pounds live weight anc the dressed carcass weighed 16( pounds on the dressing percentage would be 80 per cent. The dressing percentage on an average runs frorr 70 to 80 per cent. 5. Should a hog be fed before kill ing? No, the hog should not have any feed for 24 hours before killing, bul should have plenty of water. This gives the hog time to get rid of the contents of the stomach and intest ines and this is a great help in gut ting. It is easier to get a good bleet when the system is not gorged wit! food. The meat always cures bettei when the smal blood vesses are free from food products and blood. Never over heat or excite before killing. This produces a feverish con dition which prevents proper bleeding and causes the meat to cour while in cure. 6. Wrhat temperature should the water be for best results in scald ing? 150 degrees is best. In cold wcathei add one bucket of cold water to aboul one-half barrel of boiling water anc you will get a good scald. You car also tell when you have the right temperature by dipping your fingei into the water three times in rapic succession. If it burns severely the first time the water is too hot. II should burn severely the third time for best results in scalding. Curing Pork. 1. What vessels are best for curing pork ? Oak barrels or large stone jars are the best satisfactory vessels for cur ing. A clean container is absolutely essential for successful meat curing I They should always be washed out | and thoroughly scalded before using. 2. What is the best method of- cur I ing meat and what are the agents ' used in the cure ? They are many methods of curing | meat, -most of which are simply a va riation of two principal methods, the [ brine cure and dry salt cure. Common j salt is the basis of all meat curing. Sugar is some times used to give a sweet flavor and to counteract the action of the salt by keeping the muscles soft where salt alone makes them hard. Salt peter (potassium ni trate) may be added to give a natural red color and it also has some pre serving effect. The Brine Cure. For 100 pojtads Of meat use: 12 pounds salt. 2 oz. salt peter. G gal. of water (boil and allow to cool. Add 3 pounds of sugar to the above formula and you will have a sugar cure or sweet pickle. Dry Cure. For 100 pounds of meat use: 8 lbs. of salt. 3 oz. salt peter. 3 lbs. sugar (brown preferred.) In the brine and dry cure process pack all the meat in the same vessel skin side down except the top layer, there put skin side up. Weight meat down with some kind of clean, hard wood or brick. Boil six gal. water to make sure that it is absolutely pure and while the water is warm dissolve the ingredients left after rubbing the moat, and then when the brine has cooled pour it over the meat. Cover all meat with brine, then cure meat about three days per pound per piece. Repack meat on the seventh and twenty-first day. When meat is cured See Castevens Motor Co., for radio batteries, tubes, and service.—adv. wash thoroughly in hot water and then in cold water and hang in smoke house to drip about 24 hours before smoking. 3. What are some precautions to prevent hams from souring ? Be sure to bleed the animal well. Donot overheat the animal before killing. Have all animal heat out of meat before curing. Roil water for the brine or pickle. Scald out all curing vessels. Rub each piece with 3alt before packing for cure. Cure in a cool dry place and examine brine every few days if brine cured. Smoke to suit taste with some hard wood like hick ory, oak or corn cob. 4. What is the best recipe for mak ing sausage? For 50 pounds pork use: 1 lb. fine table salt. 2Vo oz. finely ground black pepper, j 3 oz. sage. Mix this thoroughly and spread evenly over meat. Then stil meat well before chopping. 5. How can I pickle pigs' feet? Clean pigs’ feet thoroughly and boil from four to six hours. Sait when about half done. Pack in a tight vessel and cover with hot spiced vino gar. Beef. 1. What percent of the live weight will an average steer dress out? The dressing percentage depends on the paunchiness, fatness, quality, and tjpe. The average steer will dress out from 45 to 53 per cent. 3. How may beef be preserved on the farm? Corn beef-—Any part of the beef can be corned. Cut in five or six lb. chunks and rub with salt. Pack m a clean vessel of hard wood or stone ware and cover with the following pickle: 1V2 lbs. salt. 1 oz. salt peter. Vi lb. sugar or syrup. 1 gal. pure water. This will be cured in about two weeks. Then it can be smoked lightly to improve flavor. If allowed to hang for some time and dry out well it is known as dried beef. The rounds are 1 usually dried. RU-BALM for yours and baby’s colds.—adv.
