Compiled by Clyde Ennis)
The following recollections
written by ]. J. Bruner former
editor and publisher of the Caro-
lima Watchman some time in the
SOS, will prove of considerable in
terest to our readers now. The
change in the city's industrial,
commercial and social life having
been much greater in the few
short years since this heretofore
unpublished item was written,
than it had been during the long
years when uncle John was a boy
up to the time of it's preparation,
fifty years ago.
When uncle John was a little
boy there was but one church
building in Salisbury, and this said
he, was a large frame building that
stood in what is now known as the
Salisbury Cemetery. 1t was a
Lutheran church in which services
were held every two weeks or per-
'haps not so often. A tall and po-
pular preacher by the name cf
Stork ofciated and was assisted
now and then by a MIR. Greaber.
A great many people from the
country attended the services with
families large and small. They
came in wagons and on horse back
and hitched their horses in a grove
that filled the space between the
present residence of Lorenzo w.
Walton and the church. In the
part of the ground uncle
said there was a wet weather
pond where wild ducks some times
collected to feed. The grounds
and south of the church were
under cultivation as farm lands.
The people of the town were nearly
members of the Lutheran
church and the services were some

Save Much
Food On Farm
BySimple Drying

Drying is a simple and econo.
mical method of preserving vege.
tables and fruits for winter USE
declares Cornelia c. Morris, dis.
trict agent for the State College
Extension Service.
Dried products keep we'll, re-
fresh and cook easily and are usu-
ally of good texture and flavor
she adds. "They are easily stored
since they are about one-ffth Of
the fresh products in size and
weight. There is no question of
non-acid vegetables being safe
when they are dried.
provided vegetables and, fruits
are quickly and thoroughly dried
and. stored away from insects,
there is no question as to their
keeping qualities"
Equipment for drying may vary
from the simplest screen set in the
sun, upon boxes or chairs, to cup
board-like arrangements with sever
al trays, using artificial heat. Chief
considerations are protection from
dust and flies, high temperatures
and free circulation of dry air.
A sloping roof with a heat-re-
hecting surface makes for higher
temperatures than a horizontal
surface.
Fairly mature vegetables, and
fruits, with a high sugar content
are easier to dry than the quick
growing, immature kind. Green
vegetables such as green beans and
spinach deteriorate somewhat r.
ing storage after: drying, although
greens especially retain their fresh
color when dried. quickly. Ny
consider dried greens SUPERIOR to
canned greens. Vegetables to be
dried should be fresh and in prime
condition for the table.

Birth Rate Drops
In United States

The birth rate for the Unitee
States in 1892 was the lowest of al
the years since the establishment,
';;of the Federal birth registration
area in 1915. The rate for las,
year was l7.3 births per thousanc
population. The infant mortality
rate of 57.9 per thousand live
births was also the lowest OH re-
cord.
/ The national trend towards low
er birth rates and lower infant
death rates has been parallel by
North Carolina.
For several years North CAROLINA
led the states in the registration
area in birth rate. Recently she
has given way to New Mexico
which now leads. North and
South Carolina are now tied for
second place, both states having
a birth rate of 23.7 per thousand
population for the year 1882.
There has been a considerable de-
cline in the birth rate of North
during the last few years,
which may or may not be a des:r-
able trend. The North Carolina
birth rate in 1921 was 53.4 per
thousand population, against 23.7
in 1882. The decline in birth rate
has been accompanied by a decline
in the infant death rate. As a
rule high birth rates are accom-
panied by high infant death rates.
Our lower birth rate probably has
something to do with our lower
infant death rate. The infant death
rate for North Carolina has de-
clined from IS per thousand live
births in 1920 to ST. in 1882.
The infant death rate for North
Carolina for 1882 was ST. deaths
of children under one year of age
per thousand live births. The rate
for the states in the registration
area was 57.9 deaths per thousand
Births. North CAROLINA used to
rank at or very near the top Tor
Ibottom) in infant death rate. She
now ranks ninth. That is, eight
states. have higher rates. Consider
able progress has been made in re-
ducing the infant death rate in
North Carolina but the rate is still
much toe high, and would be con-
sidered ~criminally high in many
countries of the world that do
much better than the United States
in this respect.
I The net gain in population in
North Carolina due. to excess Of
births over deaths is O as large
as it has been in recent years.
However, the decline in the infant
death rate. helps to offset the de-
cline in the birth rate. The in
rea of population in North Car
DINA due to excess of births over
deaths is still considerably above
the national average. 1t is not
unlikely that rates will ever again
be as high as they have been in
the past. However, there is still
much room for improvement in
lowering the infant death rate, and
chief hope for maintaining a lar ,
net gain in population lies in saving
the lives of babies and children.
The desirability of a high birth
rate is a debatable issue. The in
FAINT death rate is. a splendid index
iof civilization. There is a close
relationship between ignorance and
infant mortality.

A Real Love Match

Those on the inside called
that one a real love match.
Just like a couple of big kids
romping down the golden trail
of happiness and sunshine.
Such an attentive pair you
never saw! She superintendent
the preparation of his food
even as late as the Chicago
fight. Do you recall the photo
graphs of Estelle hanging Jacks
laundry out on the line at the
Lincoln Field training camp IN
1927? We do! They were the
duplication of marital bliss
for a while.
What has happened since
those beauteous times you all
know.
Then take the case of Kid
Mccoy. The Kid had nine
wives, three of them actresses.
The actress wives didn't stick
as long as some of the other
six who were not of the foot
lights.
In case you think that Mccoy
is an exception to the rule
he was as tickle as they come
and within the year got out Of
Jail following some gun play on
the Coast-but what about that
gentlest of all fighters, Jim Cor
bett, the typical gentleman,
courteous, manly and domes-
ticated to a fault.
