Shuford Tells An
Unusual Story OF
A Ticking Cow

AT Rotary club meeting here a
short time ago, Wat ]. Shuford, of
the Hickory Rotary club who assist
ed in the organization of the Jeffer-
sons Rotary club told one of the
most unusual stories that has been
heard in Ashe in long time.
The story was so good that even
Dick Pitts, of the Charlotte Observ-
er, picked it up from Hickory and il
Illustrated the story with a unique
picture of a cow ticking. Here's
the story:
"Going home from the Office some
years ago l decided to do little
work in the garden and around the
barn before supper.
Taking off my coat and vest,
hung them on the limb of an apple
tree and proceeded to work. When
got through felt in my vest pock
ct to get my watch and see what
time it was. The watch was gone!
81 noticed that my vest looked
chewed up bit, but as I had
colored boy working for me, i'm
mediately accused him of taking my
watch. My wife defended the boy
but searched him and discharged
him.
81 noticed small calf playing
around the apple tree on which
hung my vest. This calf grew into
a COW, served her day, and was fl
nally butchered. Imagine my sur
prise when we opened up her esoph-
agus to find my watch lodged
there. She evidently swallowed the
watch when she was a calf. Her
constanst breathing had kept it
wound up and it had only lost about
three minutes in eight years"

After they are baked, buckwheat waf-

assert that the steel curtain will keep the enemy so high that he will be unable to bomb accurately. but he will still be within range of anti aircraft guns and fighting planes.
 Fine Aircraft Gun
 The government has developed a 37 millimeter anti-aircraft gun which it is claimed is remarkably effective to an altitude of more than s, ,000 fleet. Hundreds of the guns will be placed in the London area.
 In addition to active defense, pas sive defense plans have been well advanced. Sir Samuel Hoare, home secretary, recently estimated that trench systems and dugouts to be built in the parks could shelter 1,250,000 to 1,500,000 persons. He reported that 32,000,000 sandbags' had been accumulated and 275 ,000,- 900 more ordered.
 Thousands of residents owning gardens have been building their private trenches, on advice of the government that 8 narrow trench is their best protection against ex- plosiye bombs.
 Dig Own Trenches
 Three of my friends in the sub urbs have dug their own trenches, covered by concrete foot thick.
 The government has formulated plans to move the governmental machinery from Whitehall to a safe place, but details have been kept secret. Hoare told commons that the government had plans for "in- vulnerable battle headquarters" where civil defense could be coor- dinated without confusion or delay.
 Government experts are consid- ering measures to transfer the big banking services and stock exchange to safer zone in the event of war. Some banks are arranging to dupli- cate their accounts.
 The home office announced re- gently that the railroads have esti- mated they could carry 3,500,000 per- sons from London within 72 hours without interfering with mobiliza- tion or food transport. The London County Council has been consider ing means of closing 1,20O schools and evacuating the pupils. Many people already are receiving re- quests from private schools for extra fees for air raid shelters. Volunteer Air-Raid Wardens Hoare announced in commons recently that nearly 500y000 of the required 100000 air raid wardens throughout Britain already have volunteered and most of them have started training or are already trained. The home office is pro- viding instructors with pocket sets of bottles containing real war gas to teach wardens to recognize them. The only gas too dangerous to sniff even briefly in minute quantities is phosgene, for which 8 similarly smelling substitute has been pro- yided. The government has been trying to obtain one warden for each 30 persons in cities and large towns and triple or quadruple fire bri- gades, with volunteers.
 It was announced that the signal to take cover in an air raid will be siren "of two minutes duration, consisting of a fluctuating or warb- ling sound of varying pitch," or in- termittent blasts of five seconds. The "all clear" signal after a raid will be by hand rattles, hand bells or police whistles.

Q. "In what season of the year
should lilies of the valley be thinned
or transplanted, and what is the
method of moving them?"
A. Lilies Of the valley may be trans
planted in the early spring or late
summer. preferably in August. Spring
transplanting reduces the flower dis
play for the year.
Lift and pull the crowns (pips)
apart. Plant in bed (shady), having
plenty of leaf mold. The pips are set
3 to inches deep and 6 to 10 inches
apart.

ming them should all of the

that are obviously dead? Would it
be harmful to a hydrangea plant
to attempt to trim it into shape
now. after the new growth has ap-
peared?"
A. Hydrangeas-the large Towering

the spring. Prune all branches to 6
inches for large bloom. It will not
hurt them to be pruned now even
though new growth has started. Each

The green yellow of the spice bush
or the clear golden yellow of the for

pale spring glory or the deep yellow

Suppose you wish to use a white
container. Remember the fact that
even as white shoes make your feet
look bigger and white dresses can add
pounds to appearance, you are careful
to balance with accents in accessories.
You must watch out for fine distribu-
ton between white flowers and a white
container and let green foliage help
you to solve the problem of reducing.
Should you use various colors in one
arrangement, then let one color pre-
dominate, give your second color a
fair part and have only a dash of the
third color represented.
Whatever the combination of your
spring flowers may be. always remem-
Der that nature has given them some
particular characteristic which has
made them what they are. If you
are wise. you will preserve these lines
