He did not ]os0 consciousness until Just before death at 9:10 p. m. (EST). The disease which erased Gehrig from the lineup of the mighty Yankees on May 2, 1939 was diagnosed as "amyothropio lateral sclerosis", u hardening of the spinal cord which > caused muscles to shrivel. * Ho wasted away sharply in the final weeks and was reported 25 pounds underweight and barely able to speak shortly before he died. Ho had served for a year and a half as a member of the New York City parole commission and visited his office regularly until about a month ago, when he decided to remain at home to conserve his energy. . In his playing days Gehrig was one of baseball's greatest stars, but was most famous for his great physical feat in playing 2,130 consecutive reglarly scheduled American league gam08 in 14 years. He twice was chosen the most valuable player In the league and over a yea* ago was voted a place hvbaseball's Hall of Fame, Joining a score of the game's immortals. He participated in 34 world series games and piled up numerous batting records of various kinds. Throngh all the years Gehrig was known for his clean habits and affable disposition and these factors made him one of baseball's best beloved players. - ? They also helped him stand off the ravages of his diseases after others had given up hope. Gehrig refused to believe that hi* disease was incurable and as long a* possible maintained a normal routine. * " 1 1 NOTICE OF INTENTION TO INCORPORATE Notice is hereby given that the undersigned incorporators will meet at 10:00 o'clock A.

KUDZU A3 A GRAZING CROP The present extended dry spell has caused practically all permanent pastures to fail. Many of them even on comparatively low and usually damp areas are covered with badly parched grass and are furnishing very little grazing. Warren Duncan, Work Unit Technician, states, "Several farmers have stated that unless the (drought is broken at an early date they will be forced to feed cattle that would ordinarily be supported by the pasture alone." Since kudzu Is a deep rooted plant and produces a heavy moisture-conserving mulch, established stands of it are affected very little by extended dry spells, even on sandy or badly eroded soil. This plant furnishes an abundance of high quality succulent grazing. If not needed for grazing, the kudzu can be cut for hay. Yields of two tons of cured hay per acre are often secured from a good stand of this perennial on real relatively poor land even when little or no fertilizer is used. Any farmer would be making a sound investment to establish an acreage of kudzu great enough to meet the hay and emergency grazing requirements of his farm. For information as to how the Lynches River Soil Conservation District can help you establish kudzu, contact Warren Duncan, Work Unit Technician, or W. C. McCarley, county agent. American Youth Hostel Founded by Two Tcachera In December, 1934, two American V school teachers and scout leaders? Isabel and Monroe Smith?founded in their home town of Northftcld, F Mass., the first American Youth hostel. Borpwed from un idea widely developed in Europe, it was a recreational venture whereby the American people could investigate their own country at little cost, by J< bicycling, hiking, horseback riding a or sinking over carefully selected g trails. u Last week, American Youth IIos t tels, Inc., was beginning Its sixth ^ spring and summer season of operation. As it did so, statistics were produced to show how widely the 1 movement had spread. 1 In 193S, the first full year of operation, there were only 35 hostels, all in New England. In 1939, thete , were 209, in all sections of the coun- ( try. In 1935, only 1,750 AYH passes t were issued: last year, 11,140. The "hostel" itself Is a place where the sightseers are permitted 1 to stay overnight by showing their 1 AYH pass (cost: $1 for those under i 21, $2 for adults) and by paying 25 t cents each, plus five cents or ten , cents for fuel. Chartered by AYH, t Inc., the hostels may be school dor- ^ mitories, barns, farm homes, or country churches, and are usually 1 spaced 15 or 20 miles apart. Separate sleeping rooms are provided for girls and boys. In each hostel j there is a "houseparent" to super- ] vise the activities of the hostelers. | Today, there are loops of hostels i in nine regions of the United States; , in the New England region alone there are 73 stopping places. Hostelers, who can be anyone from "4 1 to 94," can travel over one of these i trails (marked by white triangles) , or all of them, at a total cost of about $1 a day. Bunks, mattresses, blankets and heavy cooking equipment are furnished by the hostels. The hostelers furnish their own sleeping sacks and eating utensils, cook "their own meals, make their > own beds and wash their own dishes before they depart. ?? ;.v AYH, Inc., also sponsors hostel trips abroad. In 1939, the number i of American youth hostelers who 1 traveled abroad totaled i.fctft. j ! i Operations Necessary For Making Lowly Pin Here is how the ordinary pin is y made. A stiff pin-wire is drawn into a machine from a large hank 1 and the first operation takes all the kinks and twists out of the thin wire,, after which a head is struck on the end by a header which strikes a series of rapid blows. After the head is formed the wire is cut to the desired length and a series of files points the Other end. After the pins come from the machine, they are placed in a revolving barrel filled with sawdust where all j oil is absorbed and the pin emerges clean and bright. They are next ' put in a blower where the remaining 1 sawdust- is removed, after which l they go into a huge boiler. They i are boiled for live or six hours in a copper boiler, containing layers of j tin, in a solution of argol or bitartrate of potash. This leaves them . with a covering of tin, and gives \ them a bright shiny appearance. Again they are cleaned, washed and dried and are ready for the ' sticking room where they are put 1 in paper folders. 1 i 1 Much Sweets .Produces Decay , Sugar is a potent dietary factor ( in the production of decay in teeth, Dr. Philip Jay, research associate ( professor of oral pathology at the j University of Michigan, told a group of dentists recently. i Reporting on experiments conducted at an orphanage, Dri Jay said that evidence was found to indicate ( dental decay is a manifestation of . malnutrition. "It may be prevent- ( ed by feeding adequate diets, or sweets definitely restricted," he ] said. 1 Decay activity was increased in I children, his report disclosed, solely i by raising the sugar intake while < they were receiving a diet ef opti- , mum nutritional adequacy. f Million Trees for Protection ' Land wasted either through ero- 1 skm or intensive cultivations will be < rehabilitated in the Dust Bowl re* gkm, if plans of the government are successful. The government is 1 planting 1,300,000 trees and shrubs j as pest of its drive. Already 7,500 fl acres of farm land have been plant- d ed as protective windbreakers since the program started in 1935. Essen- r tial for the successful growth of the * trees, a government official stated, a is careful preparation of the tree l< site,?supply of additional water o through diversions, frequent cultiva- <j tion and protection from damage by b live stock and rabbits. B Glassware Better Today 9 Glass was more precious than r gold in the days of ahcient Rome b but the more than 7,000,000 glass con- b tainers sent to market in the United d States every year?which are today . as common as paper bags and economical to use?are a far better v quality, lighter and more durable man the priceless glass objects of the ancients due to modern American manufacturing procaines.

I hate to see it. It upsets my equlnlmlty. Every time I pick up a newspaper almost the first Items that appear to my vision are: "West Coast shipping is tied up by a strike.... Six airplane plants stage a walk-out... .The billion-dollar defense shipbuilding program halted by strikes", .^.and it's _ strike, strike, everywhere. (Old Joe of Russia knows his business). ?The publio knows that at least 99 percent of the workers of America are loyal, law-abiding citizens.... and they would like to work if the Communistic racketeers would let them. Less than 100 men can tie up a 50 million dollar Industry. These few eaders don't care anything about the workers or their country. As a mat:er of fact.... they want to tear lown, destroy, disturb, binder, and Hate. They are not real people: They are a kind of wild animal that must have its way. ?We can't fight a war with such con* lltion8 surrounding us, and we can't ?et ready to defend our country with he mania for striking running rampant in every manufacturing center. ? -rLess than 600 men in the United States are causing all of our trouble ind worry. What to do with them >r what to do about the situation is i big question. We are a democracy, :hat is?we still think we are. But it'a a great pity that a democracy isn't deal with these heinous, hateul disgusting pitiful, heart-rending circumstances that have engulfed us. -It should not be. much of a task io ceep labor satisfied, but It Is an impossible thing to keep labor leaders altefied. They enjoy a riot. They lelight in bringing about a cause for aurder, hunger and suffering. They re not usually Americans. If they re native-born, they have been misf>d by foreign elements, or bought ver with money sent In or grafted as oes. . ..such dues, in many cases, elng forced upon over 76 percent of he workers. I wish I might never ee the word "strike" in print again, r even hoar it mentioned. Strikes epresent the rot and poison spots i our civilisation... .and they have ecome a stench in the nostrils of ecent, law-abiding people. After all k said and done. Hitler might not (at resent) be our worst enemy. . r . 0 r , .' ' * ' ' - '. rr ? " _ . ? -r-r
