mats. Then if the house gift is not
wished for this friend how about
heater or radio for the car. Car
gifts, large and small, can be be
enjoyed by all membrs of the fam
lily.
For this gay and festive season
of the year let us dress up the
house so it will look gay, too. Here
in our woods near West Jefferson
we have so much holly and pine
we are indeed fortunate. Running
cedar is very plentiful also and no
other green foliage make such
beautiful wreathes. Hang wreath
in each window and candles, can
dies everywhere. / don't need to
suggest Christmas tree with its
glittering trimming but If it is at
all possible, decorate one in the
yard with the electric lights and
you will be delighted with the
friendly, cheerful atmosphere these
tiny light give the home.
Next week we will discuss for
the teen age and the younger chill
dren and more ideas for decorat-
ing the house. Remember questions
answered with cost of only a
stamped envelope.
] have just completed a little
shopping tour, myself (ahead of
Santa Cluas), Of the stores in West
Jefferson and I was simply amazed
at, first, the beautiful Christmas
decorations and atmosphere Of the
Christmas spirit that greeted me as
l stepped into the stores; second.
the tremendous volume of Christmas
merchandise, SO attractively dis
played and so moderately priced.
The friendly attitude of the sales
people also impressed me and as
I completed my little round, l won
der "Why should Ashe county citi-
zens go elsewhere to shop?"
Frankly there isn't any good
reason whatever Resolve now to
meet Santa in West Jefferson Fri
day and Saturday and stay over to
see the street lights at night!

Christmas is here againl And
what an array of all sizes Of pack
ages tied in gay ribbon with bits
Of holly here and there. The busy
housewife starts her preparations
by listing gifts for the family and
friends. "What shall give?" seems
to be the universal cry coming from
everywhere.
If our gifts are to go through the
mail there are a few simple rules
that should be followed to insure
safe delivery. Mail gifts early,
wrap heavy brown paper around
the Christmas wrapping and tie Sc
curely. And address the package
plainly adding your address. Pack
ages of value should not only have
the return address, but should be
insured.
''Now what shall I put in these
boxes and packages?" For Father,
we may select light silk dressing
gown or the warm bathrobe for
those cold mornings He may need
shaving supplies or perhaps shaw.
ing kit with all weapons OF warfare
neatly concealed in leather COM
partments, then a light sweater or
a heavy one, socks, handkerchiefs.
Then ties, fathers bless them, often
think it is not Christmas unless at
least one tie has been added to their
list Of gifts.
For Mother, we may list some
garment such as, dress, coat, gloves,
or shoes but let us add something
she would never think of buying
for herself. How about small
'tottle of perfume, al choice face
powder, or even a selection of jew
elry. These beloved Mothers are
just grown up girls and they like
to receive gifts that are not always
necessities or articles for the house.
Then the gift that our house
wants to send your house. Just
the gift to- send when you have
been visiting during the holidays.
In this list we can include door
stops, clocks small and large, vas

Terraces Alone
Can't Stop Soil
Erosion Losses
Dean Schaub Says That Soil
holding And Soil Building
Crops Needed.

Terracing farm is not the only
thing that is needed to stop it from
washing away and improve the soil
said /. @. Schaub, director of the
Agricultural Extension Service OF
North Carolina State College.
While terracing and contour cul-
tivation is the foundation OF any
good erosion control program on
most North Carolina farms, ne
pointed out that something needs
to be done to take care of the wat
er at the end of the terraces, and
that farming methods need to be
adopted that will check erosion be-
tween the terraces and put every
acre on the, farm to uses to which
it is suited.
Actual tests at the Soil Conser-
walton Service Experiment Station
at Statesville show that tons OF
rich topsoil wash out the ends OF
the best terraces that can be built,
where farming methods that check
erosion between the terraces are
not followed.
AS long as water runs down UNI
protected slopes soil will 60 with
it, Dean Schaub said. Experience
in erosion control demonstration
areas in North Carolina, however,
show that farmers can do much to
protect their fields by terracing
them, farming on the contour so
each row is little terrace, keep
ing the land covered with close
growing soil-holding and soil-build-
ing crops as much as possible, ro-
tating crops, planting badly eroded
fields and bad strips across good
fields to close growing soil-improv-
ing or hay crops, negotiating out
lets to safely carry water from ter
races, developing meadow strips to-
protect natural draws in the field,
contouring and improving pastures,
putting badly erodsd land back, to
trees, and planting vegetation in
gullies.

THE PRESIDENTS POPULARITY

Despite the controversy that has been waged during the past several months the Roosevelt court ganization pan the President stands today virtually popular as he at last falls eecton according to another poll that the American Institute of Public Op inion, directed by Dr. George Gallup, has taken.
 Dr. Gallup in recent article cites that while g per cent of those boiled the court plan expressed sent iment against it and AZ per cent declared for it. six of every 10 boiled expressed the belief that the Pres dents program would go through while only four in every 10 thought it would not
 In the face of these conflicting results, the Gallup poll reveals that the President still has 65 per cent popular support higher than just before the last election when the poll gave him 62 per cent.

sides bursting with whipped

But alas, four identical menus
in succession were too many for
the bride and groom. They could
not eat more than four bites and
the ardor of the mother-in-law
cooled at once when she noticed
their listless appetites. Every

The question of what to serve
