A. H. Patterson, Sec.-Treas. The Herald ? $2.00 Per Year [Miracle Day Crowd Hears Scott. Brannan, Marvel At Work Done Thousands of farmers and city folk from Cleveland and sur i rounding counties and from nei ghboring states got their first ! close-up view of a man all-im portant to this agriculaural sec tion of the coumry when Secre tary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan spoke during last j Thursday's Miracle Farm Day ! at Gardner Webb college. Men in overall and dress suits I alike squeezed around the porch j of a remodeled farmhouse on the "miracle farm" exposing *?. hear Secretary Brannan plug his Bran nan plan. Instead, he began his informal talk by saying that his .listeners were probably tired of having the plan thrown at their heads and that they could just relax ? that he wasn't going to touch it that day. Except for an introduction of Mr. Brannan by Dr. Fred W. Mor rison, law partner of the late O. Max Gardner, in which he ad vised a careful study of the plan by - every American, the touchy Brannan plan then remained in the background throughout the busy day. Mr. Brannan instead praised the community spirit behind such a project as the miracle farm. He pointed to the hand-in-hand work of contributing merchants and business men with farmers as a sign of democracy's answer to communism. Farmers in the silent crowd PRESCRIPTION SERVICE W?

Iwero particularly interested in Mr. Brannan's statements thai he sees no need for price controls- in agriculture under present cir cumstances. 'lhe intelligent and abundant labor of every Ameri can farmer has produced stock piles of farm products making "controls unnecessary Mr. Bran nan declared. Rain -drenched and muddy. fooled spectators later in the day heard Governor Scott strike at a subject close to home when he accused utility companies of neg lecting the farmer in use of elec tricity and telephones. Farmers j in the crowd were hardly surpris j ed as the Governor seemed to be ; at the number of Cleveland coun ty farms without electricity. j As new arrivals, many with ! entire families, swarmed to the j 182-acre farm, a county fair at mosphere settled over the noisy fields. Farm radio commentator j Grady Cole, mounted in a Jeep ster with a microphone, sounded a little like a sideshow barker as he directed the crowd to points of interest. But beyond the plea- 1 sure of meeting friends from the j upper end of the county or the' other end of the state, there was a seriousness foreign to county fairs in the people clustered a round big roaring machinery. ' Silent admiration of thunder irtS bulldozers and chattering post-hole diggers gradually gave) way to talk of boll weevil and I new ventures in tobacco-growing, wherever farmers gathered und- j er pines or on muddy hillsides, j In the high -raftered barn or low slung poultry nouse, talk sooner j or later swung round to Secretary i Brannan's agricultural program and to Governor Scott's tussle with utility companies. Everyone wondeied When, if ever, the Brannan plan would be adopted and whether more power lines and telephones woti-ld find their w.ay to Cleveland county any- i time soon.

Care In Lifting j Efforts Urged ''Correct lifting should be prac- J ticed until it becomes a habit." ' commented Ben Jenkins, county agent, today. Each year thous- | ands are victims of sprains, strains, hernias and other injuri es caused by improper lifting. According to the records of the National Safety Council the most common causes of lifting injuries are as follows: (1) lifting and lowering with the back muscles instead of the leg muscle; (2) in-i secure grip or footing and unsafe j placing of hands or feet; (3) us- | ing quick, jerking, twisting or awkward movements of the body; obstructed vision, un stable: loads or inadequate con trol: <5> insufficient help or fail ure to use mechanical aids. The body is a mechanical sys tem of Jevers and hinges, activa ted by cables just like many ma chines. Nature intended each bone joint and muscle for a spe cific purpose. When overloaded or used improperly, injuries are invited. It is a common practice to bend at the waist when reach ing down to grasp an object. Lift ing in this position places a se- ! vere strain on the sensitive back j and abdominal muscles. Always bend your knees and i keep back straight when ie be- j comes necessary to lift.
