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.

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. Shealy were in charge of
the program which was based on the
poem “Mistress Mary, Quite Con
trary.” Dr. Erland Nelson, member
of the Newberry college faculty, was
the speaker of the evening and gave
a most helpful and interesting lec
ture on the above topic which dealt
with child discipline. In his remarks
Dr. Nelson ^ave the following sug
gestions for helping to solve behav
ior problems of the child at home or
at school: let the child be himself;
be friendly; direct instead of re
press; be positive; give the child a
sense of security, create a feeling of
success, and give increasing freedom
as they art capable of using same.
During the business which follow
ed the program, Mrs. R. W. Sease
was appointed Founders’ Day chair

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.
