E. Hendrix mrnm* THE CASE OF THE FISH HATCHERY A CHRISTMAS 4—H LETTER AJ yj-jg For many months now Sam Will, lams, Bill Turner and other sportsmen hereabout have been working faith fully to get a fish hatchery for New berry. It was promised long, long ago but when the time to begin work would roll around there was some ex cuse or other; something had yet to be done before work could commence. The boys were long suffering and did everything asked them tho a lot of it seemed foolish. They went ahead however in a fine spirit of co-opera tion, never grumbling. Still work did not start Excuses, promises, buck passing is all the persistant yet with al humble sportsmen could get wnen they asked. Why? Finally the other moring, a gray and raw moring at that, Bill and Sam got their dander up and determined to find out something and find out then and there. We went into the Exchange Bank building and found them there wait ing for Judge Blease. We came out and they were still there. Later we came back and they were still waiting grim and determined. A lot of T N T would have been necessary to move these fellows right then. Finally they reached the Judge who volunteered at once to do what he could to try to help them with his friend Lawrence Pinkney. And what he did was to put in a call for Mr. Pinkney and when that gentleman was on the other end of the wire a conversation something like this took place: The Judge: “Lawrance, these boys are up heie in my office and want me to help them out with the fish hatch ery here that has been promised them. I am interested in this thing because I am a fisherman, tho a poor one. Pinkney: “Just a moment Judge un til I can get my fi^e on that project. Business of looking up file, and Pinkney told the Judge work would begin on the project the 29th sure. Much releived and with proper thanks the sportsmen Bill and Sam went their respective ways, happk that at least their months of labor showed signs of bearong fruit—or fish. Subsequent to the above incident old Ed Smith and John Taylor have fired telegrams to Sam telling him to mark the 29th on his calendar. But thiy were able to do so all be- cj’.se the Judge called his friend Pinkney and told him he was a fish erman, tho a bum one. WPA OFFICE HERE Applications are being taken at the newly opened WPA office here for the unemployed. Mrs. Seth Meek is in charge of the office which is open on Saturdays and Mondays of each week, and applications for work'may be made to her. Mrs. Chalmers Brown is case worker or investigator for the office. There seems to be considerable sentiment in Washington at this time for a program of renewed spending to take up the slack in unemployment. Harry Hopkins of the WPA announc ed several days ago that he could take on a considerable number of workers out of his present appropriation and it is supposed that the re-opening of the WPA office here is a result of that announcement. No applications for work have been taken here is several months and the unemployed will welcome the news that a limited number can be taken care of at this time. Dear 4—H Club Friends: We are three months on our way in the 1937-1938 club year. If you are able to review your club program and individual tasks in regard to it, and can check them as “complete to date,” you are one of the happy successful club workers who can turn the pages of those three months—enjoy a happy Christmas of service to others and pleasant days for yourself—and then face the next new months with clean pages on which to “make the best better." During this most glorious of all seasons, the application of the 4—H club pledge in “my part in the home” by every club girl (and boy) can help each member of the family to enjoy that “peace and good will” which gen erates from the Christ-like spirit of which we are especially conscious du ring the Christmas holidays. So may we not all join in living the pledge together for the finest influ ence possible from every club mem- ber and local leader, and every ex tension worker. I pledge my head to clearer think ing for wholesome personal develop ment and in all that involves the hap piness of my friends, my family, and any others who may be helped or in fluenced by right thinking. I pledge my heart to the love of home, family and friends, and the same unselfish love to those who are in need of gifts or kindness from me. And I pledge my heart to the loyalty of high ideals for a useful, happy life. I pledge my hands to larger ser vice to any whose burdens I may make lighter, or whose days I may change from hours or drudgery to in teresting tasks and pleasant leisure moments. I realize that in this pledge ‘o serve others, I must care for my hands and train them to serve me to be a self-relying family member and citizen., I pledge my health to better living or to the best living I can do as an able family member, a citizen of my community and country. To really live this pledge, I must practice self control in regard to personal conduct or habits which effect the security of my bodv—-the temnle of my soul! It is the soul or the spirit which unites us in a great 4—H family as it may unite each family in our homes at Christmas. -/ May the joys of the season be in each home represented by the thousands of club members and their leaders ot this state, and the 1,200,000 in the United States. And may each be in spired to go foward in the new year and through the future with greater service through 4—H clubs for a sat isfying personal development, happy relationships, and successful living.

No definite action was planned at the first gathering of the group, but committees were appointed to investi gate the possibility and procedure of organizing a Newberry College club. President Kinard expressed his ap preciation to the group for their co operation with the College and stated that he would like td see such a club organized as it would draw the town and the College closer together. A despatch from Asheville says that the officials of the Pisgah National Forests are embarrased by the pre sence of too many deer in the game reserve there and that many of the deer are being trapped and sent to other refuges. There are said to be more than 8,000 deer in the 90,000- acre tract. Trapping adult deer has been a part of the regular deer reduction pro gram in the preserve for several years. Formerly the deer were driven into large corrals by lines of beaters, who then caught the animals and bull- dogged them to the ground and tied them for crating and shipment. This method was spectacular but some times resulted in the injury or loss of deer or injury to the men handling them. Now the deer is caught in a trap consisting of a crate with two com partments baited with apples, an ir- resistable lure. The deer enters the first compartment, noses the apple, and gate closes the trap. The deer moves ahead into a smaller box, second gate falls, and the animal finds itself in a restricted crate where it cannot struggle or injure itself. Foresters then remove and ship the crate containing the deer. By this method deer are enticed to enter their own shipping crates, with out injury to themselves or to their handlers. Pisgah Forest officials ex pect to trap and ship more than 2(Xi deer this winter.

There are better cops in the world than some of them but none of them are particul arly dumb and will, or should be, bet ter cops a year from now. It is only through experience that they can be come more efficient in detecting crime. We will never have a good po lice force as long as cops are changed every year or so. When you know they can do their duty without politi cal reprisals they will do it. BIRTH OF A SON Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Floyd announce the arrival of a son on December 16, in New York City.
