SociaIized Medicine to
Rural Areas.

Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt, in Offer
ing the All Club farm boys and girls
a set of six commandments for be-
coming good citizens at the Agricul-

Of socialized medicine in their rural
communities.
To-day" she said, there's = new
movement in medicine that Is vitality
important to the health Of the whole
Nation, particularly to the rural
areas. But few people know Of the
questions being discussed.
They've heard vaguely about So
cialized medicine. II they did hear
about it many communities would say:
We don't want to try anything new.
We don't want any experiments con-

hang back from new things"
Counsels Youths.
Besides urging that the youths try
out the novel in their home COM
munities, Mrs. Roosevelt counseled

Don't be mentally lazy.
Think of yourselves as citizens. OF
a Nation important in the world.
Never be self-satisf1ed.
Always be ready to learn and always
be ready to give the benefit of what
You have learned to the community.
Assume responsibility.
Communities where a great num-
ber OF people are interested in what
Is going on are the foreward-moving
communities" Mrs. Roosevelt said.
To-day We need radical changes in
our rural education, but few people
have thought through the changes
that might be made to improve that
education.
People often complain about taxes.
out lew make suggestions which might
lower their taxes or give them better
returns for their taxes"
After her talk, Mrs. Roosevelt in

sters from 43 States will live in tents

QUESTION: What is the best time
to cut lespedeza for hay?
ANSWER: Lespedeza should be
cut when it attains a height of Is
inches, or when it is in full bloom,
whichever occurs first. The usual
dates for the Korean variety is from
August l to September l and fif-
teen days later for the other varie-
ties When July and August are
dry and September wet, the main
growth of the Common, Tennessee
rs and Kobe varieties will take place
in September and it will pay to de-
lay cutting until October l or later,
If cut early, however, lespedeza will
make enough second growth to re-
seed the land and it is seldom pos
sible to remove both hay crop and
seed crop the same year.

HOG PRICES UP

Hog prices may go up further this
summer as supplies are seasonally
reduced, but they are not likely to
reach the RICH level of last summer,
according to a report fthe U. S.
Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
For the 1938-39 marketing year, the
Is percent increase in the 1888
spring pig crop and the prospective
increase of percent in the number
of sows to farrow this fall indicate
a much larger supply of swine than
in 1878.

Sentiment For A
New SchoolBld
At Grassy Creek
Old Two-Story Frame Building
Is Not Fireproof. Govern
ment Aid Available.

Sentiment in the Grassy Greek
community for a new, fireproot
school building is growing rather
strong, Principal George M. Van
Hoy, stated this week while in town.
The present building consists OF
a large two-story frame structure
that was built a number of years
ago. Located as it is on the top OF
a hill, this building is hard to heat
and the upkeep costs on it are said
to be high. 1t contains 10 classrooms
and an auditorium on the second
floor. which has been condemned.
The border-line school, known as
the Virginia-Carolina high school,
has been growing steadily during
recent years. Last year the high
school enrolment reached new

mentary grades were 241, making
a total enrolment of 1853. There are
10 teachers and the school has fine

ers were added and this year the
number will not be decreased.
w. M. Reynolds, able agriculture
teacher, is now making plans to hold
the annual fair this fall.

Grassy Creek citizens are seriously
considering the advisability of erect
ing a new building at this time
when federal aid can be obtained.

A poodle dog barking viciously

"Mexico for Mexican" might be

the economist, but failure to award
