FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1939 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Rich Cold Lode Uncovered in Georgia DAHLONEGA, Ga. . . . Armed with rifles and shotguns, guards are shown before the entrance to the century-old Calhoun gold mine at which work has started. The mine was found to contain rich bonanza ore assayed at $60,000 per ton, and classed with the famous Comstock Lode in Nevada. The land in the area is under private ownership, hence making “claim staking” impossible. THE Jz WEMiOHiMi Utt PORK This disease exists today, and of ten entire communities suffer from it, esneoially German cities, where ] pork in some form is certain to be ] extensively consumed. This malady is caused by eating j pork flesh that has become infected with the encysted larvae, or eggs, j of the nematode worm, and was first j discovered in 1822. Thorough cooking destroys them. Raw hams and sausages are the The Chinese, always epicures, had pure food laws before the birth of Christ. The Jewish dietary laws were nothing more or less than pure food laws, based upon a religious background, for the simple but all- sufficient reason that the Hebrews were therefore certain to observe them. In the days of Rome’s glory and before the fall of Greece, food laws were to be found in both of these lands, where people were truly gour mands, and woe betide the one fail ing to observe them. While these laws existed there were men to enforce them—inspec tors—who arrested the culprits and hailed them to courts which always imposed heavy fines, and often exe cuted repeated breakers of these laws in the public squares. More than 500 years ago the quaint city of Nuremberg, in Ger many, passed pure food laws that specially applied to honev, which was a sort of monopoly with that town and the surrounding country to a special cheese locally manufac tured, and milk. In other words, Nuremberg estab lished a standard for certain dain ties. Due to the fact that there were numerous different types of sau sages produced in and about the re gion, a particularly strict law was enacted to insure the purity of these comestibles, then much in demand among travellers because they re quired no cooking, and could be munched as one rode or walked on then few and far between. For centuries the pig has been highly esteemed by both epicures and simple folk as well, and today is perhaps the world’s favorite meat. Charles Lamb once wrote a book about “Roast Pig” and in it he said: “The pig hath a fair sepulchre in the grateful stomach of the judicious epicure, and for such a tomb should be content to die.” The reason that Nuremberg enact ed such stringent sanitary laws for pork products was the fact that the pig is subject to a disease known as “trichiniasis” or to use the modern j spelling, “trichina,” although at that, time no one knew definitely much | about it, from a scientific standpoint, because modern chemistry and mod-j ern medicine had not yet come into existence. : greatest culprits. In Saxony and in | Prussia there have been large out- j breaks where more than 30 p%r cent of the victims died. Here the death rate is less than 5 per cent, and few contract the disease. DR. NELSON ADDRESSES P-T Written for The Sun The Parent-Teacher association of Little Mountain High school held its regular meeting November 29, at 7:30 p. m. Mrs. V. O. Shealy and Mrs. J. L.

BOWERS, Jr. TWO SIDES To EVERY QUESTION By LYTLE HULL Permanent Peace The Reading (Pa.) Times, in a pre war issue, remarked editorially— j “One thing is certain, the peoples of the earth are not going to get peace unless they demand it.” One hates to acknowledge this reality, but it is self-evident. The European peoples hoped their leaders could coin a lasting peace, and put them in power with that thought in mind. They’ve been do- \ ing the same thing since Bible days, but it never seems to click — and probably never will. Today there aie many means by which peace and international cooperation could be attained, but where is the European statesman great enough to demand a trial? The resignation of the present gov- 1 ernments of the nations involved in I this war would appear to be almost a | prerequisite to the settlement by ar- ! bitration of today’s troubles. How could emotionalists like Hitler and i Churchill, who scream boyish abuse I at each other over the air, be expected ■ to sit down togethei peaceably, and ' work out a solution to the intricate I problems which confrbnt their coun- ^ tries ? How could patriotic but obsti- I nate Daladier, intriguing von Ribben- | trop, hard-bitten Goeb'bels, be ex- ! pected suddenly to change their | fixed and oft re-iterated -policies ? | Have they individually of collec- j lively the statesmanshiplike qualities j of mind necessary to solve explosive 1 problems ? These men know how to bring this war to a halt. But it is difficult to imagine Hitler, for instance, sug gesting his own resignation; the with drawal of his claims in Poland to only that territory which is predom inantly German in population; the cession to a reconstituted Poland of a corridor to the Baltic—say along the eastern boundary of East Prus sia—with the port of Memel thrown in. It is hard to believe that he would return to the Czechs those parts of their country which are not strictly German in population, even • provided the Czechs and the other nations agreed that these provinces should remain unfortified and there fore no threat to Germany. He doubt less believes that a plebiscite in Aus tria would maintain the present status quo, but would he take even that chance? Is it conceivable that to obtain a peace fair to all, he would be willing to return to the Jews in Germany their civil and so- Icial rights? Would he be willing that their just claims for financial damage be tried before courts of fair and unprejudiced men ? Chamberlain is one man who would doubtless resign his post willingly— or keep it—if his people desired to install a government dedicated to bringing the war to a close before, it becomes a desperate menace to them selves and to all of us. But it is doubtful if he would get much en couragement from Churchill or other militant leaders in his government. Nor would these statesmen, judging from their present temper, be willing to compromise at a peace table by giving an inch to any German de mand—such as the return of her Af rican colonies—which England does not want but which Germany seems to think are essential to her very ex istence. These men are after Hitler’s scalp and they seem to regard that souve nir as a sort of emblem of everlast ing peace. But the opposition vis ualized everlasting peace in Europe if it could attach the forelock of Na poleon, and peace on earth if it could but create a prematurely bald spot on the dome of the Kaiser. This feeling is emotional and understand able; it makes a good battle-cry but not much constructive logic. Daladier appears to have more fundamental thoughts: in inborn fear of the constant German menace to France; a determination to break that country up as a political en tity. A separate Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, he could cope with, but the unified combination has been the nemesis of France since the days when Bismark founded it. New managements—dedicated to a determination to meet the realistic requirements of the day—are essen tial, if peace is to be made, and Eu rope re-adjusted so that it will “run”. Everyone knows in his heart that this war can be stopped and that every country can be fairly sat isfied, if a peace of reason, and not of force, is arrived at. But “peace of reason” does not mean the usual re-division of Europe between the warring factions. It means an un selfish, judicious re-alignment to fit the equitable demands of Europe’s people — not of Europe’s political schemers. The people themselves must demand this “peace of reason” or suffer the consequences of a probably long and disastrous war. The permanent peace structure, however, will be complete only when the people shall take to themselves the sole right to declare war. If a nation were actually threatened, a war note of its people would consti tute a slow and risky process, and in the event of such threat it would be within the province of that country’s governing body to “declare armed resistance.” But it would be seldom if ever, that the people of one nation would vote to make war upon an other, with this in mind, their repre- H-D COLUMN By MISS ETHEL COUNTS Garden Work for December Real reasons for growing a gar den and eating fresh vegetables lie in their mineral and vitamin values. We must have calcium and phospho rus to build good bones and teeth. Iron is on the required list for the sake of good red blood. Vitamins are the mysterious elements that stimu late the body to use its building ma terials. Vegetables can help to sup ply the most essential minerals and all but one of the six known vitamins | necessary for health and growth. Vitamin A helps to keep us in good general condition at all ages. If we don’t get a regular supply we’re wide-open to certain infections. Ex cellent vegetable sources of Vitamin A are parsley, kale, spinach, chard, turnip greens, green lettuce, collards, broccali, mustard and beet greens, carrots, sweet potatoes, yellow squash, peppers, tomatoes, peas, and green string beans. Good sources are asparagus, okra, and Brussels sprouts. Vitamin B, sometimes called the “appetite vitamin”, keeps up your in terest in food and keeps up the abili ty of your muscles to handle it. With out enough Vitamin B, in the diet, we’re likely to lose interest in life, become generally sluggish and irri table. No vegetable ranks . as an excellent source, but the good vege table sources are collards, cabbage, turnip greens, carrots, sweet pota- | toes, spinich, parsnip, asparagus j peas, mustard greens, kale, beet I greens, and okra. Vitamin C aids in the fight against I scurvy. Not many people in this country are likely to have an acute form of deficiency in Vitamin C, but many people do lose appetite and weight and feel fatigue, think they have rheumatism, and visit the den tist oftener than they think they should have to. All these signs point to lack of Vitamin C, which is an element that must be supplied now every day, as is cannot be stored in the body. Most people think of orange juice as the one provider of Y'itamin C, but a double order of to mato juice will do the same trick. Other excellent sources are parsley, collards, turnip greens, cabbage, turnips, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, spinich asparagus, peas, and radishes. Vitamin E, the “anti-sterility" vit amin, comes in sufficient amounts along with any diet which is other wise adequate in green vegetables and whole grains. Vitamin G, famous in the study of pellagra, helps to keep us well at all ages, prevents the slowing-up of growth, loss of weight, and too-early signs of old-age. Excellent sources among vegetables are turnip tops and beet tops and kale. Good sources are spinach, collards, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, beets, and green lettuce. The color sign applies to Vitamin G, as well as Vitamin A. The nutrition experts in the Bureau of Home Economics says that a rich green colored vegetable is likely to be just'about twice as rich in vitamin G as the same vegetable bleached. Iron is essential for health in the development and maintenance of good red blood, and the following are rat ed as excellent sources of iron: beans green lima, beet greens, chard, col lards, kale, mustard greens, parsley, parsnip, peas, spinach, turnip tops, or greens. Calcium is essential to build good bones and teeth, and the following vegetables are excellent sources of this element: Beet greens, broccoli, cauliflower, collards, kale, mustard tops or greens. Suggestiou Prepare hotbeds for sowing seed in January. Make garden plans for the coming year, order seed catalogues. Garden crops, such as beets, car rots, parsnips, and salsify can be left, where grown and dug as wanted. Fall beets and carrots later in the season should have a light furrow thrown over the beds, since those crops are somewhat tender. Make Plantings of the Following Plant English peas of smooth, round type for early spring crop. If net enough cabbage plants have been set to supply the early spring needs, set them now. Be sure to set them deep enough to covr the entire stem. Plant for succession: Cabbage, kale, lettuce, onion, and spinach. Strawberry, dewberry, raspberry, and blackberry plants may be set now, for home use.
