H. Y. BELK ? 1 And His News of Nebo Valley I like a good show, when I get show minded. I park at Blaht! Webbs, biggest little show in town. Webb says all the gals look alike .to him. I wonder if Mr. Webb ever run up on a cross-eyed gal. His little, hig show serves cool refresh ing drinks. He and I usto drink together, but things are not like they usto be, Bland likes Clouds best. I went to see a little cross-eyed gal, but I couldn't tell when she was look ing at me lor sure. She wasn't a bit shy. Noise at times, :s very valu able, but the steam that blows off through the whistle does not pull the train. Some men are all noise. Women no better. The thunder makes us shiver, but the lightning is what kills. Man is the only animal on earth that laugh's and weeps at the same time. Did you . know it takes less brains to- argue than it does to write a column. A proud young father tells me he doesn't know Whether his little son is a Hooster or a buckeye, because the young ster was born in a trailer. Had a very nice letter today from Jimmy Moss, over at Mon treal It just reminded me he was reading the I1kraij> regularly nnd enjoying its contents. Said He: I enjoy your column and read each Week. I wish to tell you he said, Mrs. Robert Quillen. wife of the late noted columnist and critic, reads my copy of the Herald when it comes and says she enjoys your column very much. I just thought that you would be pleased to know that your column is being read not only in our home town and coun ty, but also by the good people who know newspapers and news paper workers. Mrs. Quillen's late husband may still be read in the Charlotte Observbk. Let ters like those give us much Joy. So many nice refined people most everywhere send us a note of cheer, telling us how they enjoy our make up. While a few Ig norant people don't mind throw ing mud at our lines. We excuse those few because they are ig norant. Where Ignorance is bliss its folly to be wise. Mr. Moss we appreciate your good lettei and really glad Mrs. Quillen enjoys our paper. With kind regards to her and you, I remain Your friend, H. Y. Belk, Nebo Valley WAR WITH 8PAIN When we entered war with Spain In 1898, Democracy and progress seemed to be the rule everywhere. Here in the United States, Theodore Roosevelt had brought a large social and moral vision to the Republican party, and Woodrow Wilson to the Democratic party. Wilson broke his health and his heart fighting for the League of Nations, which failed. Even the Czar of Russia, pleaded for a universal disar mament of the world. Then sud denly World War I broke -out. Never In the history of man has such a bloody war been bought. That war was to end all wars by setting up the League ot Nations to force peace. They said the world must have one more war. Then it will learn its lesson hy blood. Hut even after World War II it seemed for months and even years that two world wars have taught our political leaders noth ing. Still the blind lead the blind.

TIC 'Kings Mountain Leading Jewelers* ported, few had faith in its work ability, many of us who had been faithful to a great hope, stood by to see defeat. It seemed like the last setting sun. Just as did the League of Nations after the Uni ted States refused to Join It. Now today look where we are! Still In war up to the bridle bits with no hope of ever redeeming universal peace on this old battle-scarred earth. vVas it created for that. Juniper! Indeed, no a thousand times NO! War is so hideous, so destroy ing, so uncalled for, makes it a disgrace to the human family. It belongs to the dark ages. It's an invention of the devil, cherished in the human soul by his ingrat es. That present war in the Far East will be remembered with its brave dead a thousand years from this day. The dead who died in that faraway land to help save Democracy from this de mon aggressor, Communism. We feel the world's greatest age is just beginning to ushered in. This i Korean new borned. The first I time in World's history an over whelming proportion of the na tions of the world have combined to check and drive from the earth this dread aggression sought by Communism. Now, we actually through th6 strengthening of the UN, hope eventually to find World Peace. At least by the conflict in the Far East, a defin ite turn has been made in human history. After this .aggression has been driven out, a great new age will begin anew. Our sons will not have died in vain. We will feel prouder of our sacrifice of service to our country, when this great new born age proclaim* lasting peace to a war torn world. It may come ? though long delayed. Had you ever thought that the Brannan plan was conquered. It was to be all things to all men ? guaranteed income to the far mers, cheaper food to the con sumers and aroused prosperous market for all. One of the few bright spots on the picture is most of the farmers did not fall for this rotten bunk. We have been told time and again that wages can be raised again and again without increasing the cost of living and adding to inflation despite the fact that wage pay ments constitute approximately 80 percent of ? manufacturing costs. We are the biggest chumps in all world history. We see one million of our boys killed. For what? Only make greater pros perity for the few.Fights, breaks and Frauds! Now millions of our citizens are asking what are we in Korea for. And that's plain to see. Under Mrs. Anna M. Rosen berg, manpower director of the Department of Defense, the Pen tagon is heading full throttle in the direction of an early military dictatorship. Some little-minded voters seem to think after all it would be wonderful. I think the least and best thing our rulers could do would be to get their hand's clean and their hearts free from greed. Take it easy, you who voted for H. S. T.! The end is not yet. A nation gets the kind of Government it deserves. Economic decisions and social i judgements usually are dtermin ed by Congress. One sees nothing bright about this war picture. I'm sure, right now, much yet to be done If we save the world for Democracy. As history Is unfolded in coming years, we predict a new, better age for this human unbomed race of the earth. Look at Japan. The pattern of peaceful occupa tion has now been well set by General MacArthur. He will ever command the veneration and ad ulation that has come from the Japanese. That is why the Japan ese people in every walk of life, were so stunned and astonished by the removal of so great a lov ed man as General MacArthur. It is said and confirmed that the Japanese newspapers came out that first day after his dismissal with extra editorials In black, as well as to say, we men the loss of our faithful hevo, when all the other nations find a friend in the help of the United States. That we stand as the symbol of our determination to keep all na tions from spreading Commun ism.

Authors of the circular, which is 17 pages in length and is illus trated ' with photographs and drawings, are Jack Kelley, spe cialist in charge of extension an imal husbandry, and H.' A . Stew art, in charge of swine research. Kelley anc Stewart point out that the swine Industry furnishes a part of the food supply for most North Carolina farm fami lies and the income from cash sales is of considerable impor tance. Hogs, they add, are grown in every Tar Heel community, and in 1950 the State ranked sec ond in the South and 15th in the nation in number of hogs produc ed. The circular covers such points as selection of stock, sow testing, management of the breeding feed requirements, shade, sanita tion, and preventing losses at marketing time. Good pasture, says Kelley and Stewart, is the cheapest single basis of experience and experi source of feed for hogs. On the mental results, Ladino clover is the best single grazing plant for swine. Single copies of 'Raising Hogs in North Carolina," issued as Ex tension Circular No, 238 (Revis ed), may be obtained from the lo cal county agent or by writing the Agricultural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh. in the proud refrain: "What more could I say." We students of history may well recall that no nation ever faced a more momentious hour of crisis thari does America to day. Without our borders, a ru thless, formidable foe is prepar ing to annihilate us in his am bitious aim of world conquest within our borders lie the para llzing forces of crime, corruption, false ideologies, public apathy and indifference. What more could I say. ? Outstanding among all our is sues is the need to know how we lost the initiative. Only six years ago, we were so far ahead of the Russians that, if we defeated them, we gave the Soviets $11 billion for that war, now they may be ahead of us. Franklin D. Roosevelt, gave Russia 710 ships with the implication that they were loaned under Lend Lease. At least the implication was for public consumption. Probably he told dear Joe that he could' Just keep the ships. Whatever the case may be dear old black Joe has kept the 710 ships and in defiance of the request that they be returned. We now can see thes? millions of dollars worth of valuable ships are being used to transport mur der machines, with which to kill your boys and mine in Korea. Well we got in a hell of a muss up when we took Russia into our confidence. When we tor? down Berlin and sent Hitler hell ward to hell. STALIN IN AMERICA We've statted to make it Soviet, To make America Soviet. We'll put one more S to the U.S. A. One more yes, S, to the U. S. A. Oh, yes, we'll live to see it. When all the Land, With the factories, Belongs to Soviet Russia. And the .worker^ to us belong. When we take control. Across the water in America. Then It wil be the U. S. S. A. The fatherland of the Soviets, This is what Joe demands. Make way for Stalin. Across the water in Russia. We started this war in Korea. A free fight for all. ^ We'll end it up in America. We'll live in America. When we drive ye bums away. Goodnight Stalin H. Y.
