 Although Italians means in this war of poor against rich are from certain viewpoints inferior to those of the British, Italy is resisting and giving the enemy a hard fight" he wrote.

having joined him in the early
days of the company's history.
Just previous to the outbreak
of the World War l, the Kraft
Company developed cheese in
tins, commodity which was
shipped in quantity to the allied
armies. Following the war, in
1921, the Kraft five-pound loaf
process cheese appeared on the
market, the first successful pro-
cess cheese to be produced any
where, and forerunner of the va
rious types known today.
In 1923, J. L. Kraft and Bro
theirs Company became the Kraft
Cheese Company-the name to
which the company returns to-
day.
In 1923 the Kraft Cheese Com
pany acquired the Phenix Cheese
Corporation, and the name be-
came the Kraft-Phenix Cheese

Since 1908, when Mr.. Kraft
started in business with one
cheese wagon, the company has
grown steadily until today it
maintains branches throughout
the United States and in many
foreign countries and employs
approximately 5000 people.
The business which bears Mr..
Kraft's name, and which has been
under his active leadership
through the So years of its exis-
tence, has had an interesting and
colorful history. Until 1909 the
business was owned and opera
ted individually by Mr.. Kraft.
Mr.. Kraft developed a method
for processing cheese which is
credited with revolutionizing the
cheese industry in this country.
In 1909 the company was incor-
porated as j. L. Kraft and Bro

Zee Arrested For Trapping
Came Birds In This Section
Ashe County Game Warden,
Harvey Goodman, Played
Big Part in Capture.

Game birds and other species
OF wild life in Ashe and neigh
boring counties, can now 60 about
with less fear, since Ira Kee. of
Charlotte, believed to have been
long engaged in illegal trapping
and selling of birds, from this
section, was arrested Saturday in
Wilkes county, following an ex-
tended automobile chase from
Ashe county.
The announcement of his arrest
was made by Guy Wallace, sup
erintendent of the Roaring Gap
Fish Hatchery, who pointed out
that Harvey Goodman, Ashe
county game warden, and Geo.
Royal, of Roaring Gap, spent 4
days in freezing weather, in a
systematic effort to track down
Kee.
Goodman and Royal finally
trapped their man Wednesday
with 100 quail and four grouse.
They came upon Kee some dis
lance. out of West Jefferson and
gave chase. They finally overlook
him near North Wilkesboro.
Kee was given a magistrates
hearing and placed under heavy
bond for his appearance in supe-
rior court at North Wilkesboro
January Is.
The officers took the confisca-
ted birds to Hugh Chatham Me-
mortal Hospital at Elkin for use
of patients. This was in line with
state and national laws covering
such cases.
Wallace said game officials
had been informed Kee had been
engaged for several years in ille-
gal trapping of quail and grouse,
running them into Charlotte for
sale. Royal and Goodman were
exposed to the zero weather for
four days as they combed the sec
ton in which they had been in
formed Kee was operating.
Kee used the V-shaped trap,
baited with small grain, to catch
the birds. Some of the game con-
fiscated was still alive, but was
too badly bruised and too nearly
suffocated to be liberated.
indications were pointed that
Kee could be charged on a maxi
mum four counts, one for trap
ping quail illegally, one for trap
ping grouse illegally and one for
possession of more game OF two
species than the law permits.
The arrest of Kee came close
upon the announcement recently
that more enforcement Of game
laws would be made henceforth
along the Yadkin River. Illegal
trapping of water birds has TAX
en- place in numerous instances
recently, game officials have been
told, and a determined effort to
stop this has been made so far IN
these instances.

The National Youth Admins
tration for North Carolina plans
TO conduct a statewide classical
musical contest to aid in the Sc
lection of Leopold StokowskIs
all-American Youth Orchestra to
be organized in the United States
this winter for a goodwill tour
of South and Central America, 1t
was learned today.
This information came from
John A. Lang, State Youth Ad-
ministrator, to Mrs. Thelma Dent,
local NYA supervisor, who was
asked to help locate accom-
plished musicians interested IN
irving out for this Orchestra.
The National Youth Admins

musicians who are to make up
the orchestra which the famous
conductor, Stokowski, plans to
take on tour. Only applicants un-
der the age of Is years will be
eligible; but both NYA workers

N. C.. Aged Don't
Have To Pay Dues
TOObtain Grants
Warned Not to ''Pay Dues" to
Any Of The Old Age
Pension Associations.

North Carolina men and women
over so years of age were ad-
vised this week by Nathan H.
Yelton, director of public assis-
lance, not to spend money in re-
hitting dues to any old age pen
sion association operating over
the country on a chain-letter
plan.
"Old age assistance payments
in North Carolina cost nothing at
all to those who receive them
and payment of "a fee to any per-
son or organization for prooffer-
ed aid in obtaining the grants is
just money out of somebody's
pocket" Yelton said.
ct has come to the notice Of
the State Welfare Departments
division of public assistance that
circular letters are being distri-
buted in some counties telling
"Dear Members" of their accep-
lance into a pension organization
and thanking them for their re-
mittances," the director said.
Along with the acceptance no.
tees are sent five membership
registration coupons" for distri-
button to friends anywhere in
any state" to aid in forwarding
"this great renewed surprise
movement now sweeping the
country with terrific force while
politicians are listening to for
eign wars, was the appeal made
in the letter according to Yelton.
Claiming the present Social Sc
curity Act as the direct result of
its original effort and work and
promising to obtain for associa-
ton members monthly payments
of $50 the circular letter fails to
specify directly the source of the
pension funds to be available, he
said.
Original application blanks
mailed to the association were
followed by demands for dues,
Yelton said, pointing out the clos
ing paragraph of the letter which
stated the organization was pro
ceeding legally and ethically in
the devout hope" that it would
not again be singled out as the
target for unjust discrimination"
II sincerely hope the people OF
the state will not be taken IN
by any such scheme. We are en-
larging our public assistance rolls
and raising the grants as the mo-
ney is available in accord with
the Governors admonition to
take care of all the needy old
people possible while still pro-
ceeding in a cautious manner to
safeguard the States finances"
Yelton said.

mill that David Morgan had built
and Virgie had run successfully ever
since David's death. It was then
that Virgie had lost her temper.
Trying to tell me I didn't know
enough to run my mill" She snort
ed now, setting the coffee-cup down
on the hearth.
AS though she had not steered the
mill successfully through the hard
est years business had ever known
in these Carolina hillsl A whole year
after David had had his stroke, and
for three years since. No profits to
speak of-but no red ink either.
Credit maintained, and the quality
of the Morgan product kept to its
high standard. Manufacturers who
bought pulp from the Morgan mills
knew that they were getting the
best. Virgie had fought for that-as
David had before her.
.'I'd like the see the mill Wallace
Withers would run-the old chisel-
er!" she snorted, tanning her dis
gust anew.
She unbuttoned her shoes, eased
the straps over her plump ankles,
wandered to the window.

dows and, freezing, made the hem

patterns. 1t was the worst early
storm Virgie could remember. The
boys would grumble about going out
into the woods tomorrow, but two
truckloads of seedlings had to be
put out before the ground froze hard
and their roots dried.
Lossie came in with the wood,
punched at the fire, regarded her
mistress staring out into the ugly
night
Want I should wind the clock?"
she inquired helpfully.
"You always wind it too tight"
Virgie objected. "I'd hate for that
clock to get out of fix. David brought
it to me all the way from St. Louis
once, held it on his lap so the little
bronze boy wouldn't get his arm
broken off. It's company for me,

girl went on in little, desperate
rush, "but I can't help seeing things.
She-don't care thing in this world
for Bry Hutton, Mis- Morgan. Not

make such fuss about it-she's

"She's had her own way too
much" Marian's mother set her
mouth stiffly. "Bry Hutton can't
drink and tear around like he does
and then hang around my housed"
"She just wants her own way"
persisted Lossie, with the brash IA
miliarity of the old servant. IF
you'd just stop fussing about him
let on like it didn't matter one way
or another, she'd get tired of him
mighty quick. But-she likes fuss

"But stop and think how this
new work is being created. It is
being created by money spent by
the government, taken out of the
pockets of the people or added to
the mounting national debt.
"These are not the forces of pri-
vate enterprise at work. These
r the forces of public indebted
ness. You and I are buying our
selves a bigger army, a bigger
navy, and a bigger airforce. That
makes business look better, but
actually we are going into debt at
the same time.
when the defense program is
finished, we may have a bigger in
dustrial system, but it will have
been built upon the insecure foun.

Willkie said he did not want to

pride to a business revival based

Recommendation of this division
that only the first three sources
mentioned be seriously considered:
II. A ground supply, If proved
feasible by actual test, could prob
ably be secured to the extent of
about 5000, 900 gallons daily for
less than $3.50, 900, depending upon
the amount of pipe line required.
20. The Kings Bluff supply could
be developed for about $3.50, 900.
20. The Greens Ferry source
could be developed for about $780,,
600 and if trouble developed the
intake could be extended on up to
Kings Bluff Dam.
Sin view of past and present
experience, we strongly recon-
mend that immediate steps be
taken to supply your city with an
unfailing adequate water supply
that is free from all possibilities
OF salt contamination" 4
