are unable to feel their best or do their
best work.
In this land of plenty, this condition is
deplorable; for~it is both simple. and in
expensive for an individual to regulate his
diet for complete balance. Authorities
have long ago proven that all of the food
needed to supply the needs of the body for
energy, growth and repair is contained in
the "five fundamental foods: O milk,
(2) meat or eggs, (3) fresh leafy vege-
tables, az fresh fruits and (5) whole grain,
soy beans or properly enriched breads and
cereals.
Some individuals let their foods be
chosen by likes and dislikes based on early
acquired improper habits. But even to
these health, energy and ability to accom-
plish needed tasks in times like this should
outweigh any petty craving for food that
is practically useless. Don't we owe it to
ourselves to eat right and feel right?

Let's All Be Miners

The war has proven that many things
can, and must be done in different ways.
And one important discovery is that valu-
able, vital metal can be found in our
"mine- above-t the ground" our scrap heap,
which has grown over a period of years.
And we are also learning that there is no
age limit or any other particular qualifica-
tons for miners. Every man, woman and
child must help in the scrap campaign to
make it the success necessary to help win
this war.
Many people are still asking why, in this
land of plenty with its unequaled deposits
of vital metal, is there such demand for
scrap iron and STEEL Steel is made of scrap
and metal melted from iron ore. Even in
normal times scrap supplies about one half
the raw material for steel production-and
the reason behind it is that scrap contains
much valuable alloy material which is re-
covered in steel production. With the
shortage in critical materials-such as
nickel, tungsten, chromium and other met
ais needed for the many types of alloy for
the production of weapons such recovery
becomes all the more imperative. Too,
while there is abundant ore available for
the production of pig iron, much labor and
extensive transportation facilities are
needed to mine, purify and transport the
ore to the steel mills.
Many people in this county have and
are responding to the scrap drive, but we
have not dug deep enough into our surface
mines of scrap Let's all search little
longer and try little harder to get in the
scrap by collecting all of the scrap we can
for the war effort.

Deserve Attention

Governor Broughton has thrown the
North Carolina divine deposit possibilities
squarely into the lap of Donald M Nelson,
national war production chieftain
In a letter addressed to Nelson Satur-
dav the Governor called attention to the
fact that 20 divine deposits in North Caro-
lima contain an estimated 23O000,000 tons
of ore of As per cent. magnesia and 94O-
100000 tons Of 40 per cent. magnesia.
Magnesium is one of the strategic min
erals used in the manufacture of airplanes,
explosives, etc. The Divine deposits in
North Carolina said to be the largest in
the Western Hemisphere, also contain
chrome and nickel, which are strategic
metals
AS Governor Broughton points out, the
nearness of North Carolina to great manu-
featuring centers argues for the exploita-
ton of the state Divine deposits in the
interests of time and economy, precluding
long hauls by sea or land to bring mag
nesium, chrome and nickel from distant
points of the compass. The development
of the mines in North Carolina probably
would also lead to the establishment Of a
mining industry that would extend through
the postwar years to the mutual advantage
of the commonwealth and the industrial in
terests of the nation.
The Divine deposits have been investi-
gated by biologists of repute. Their po-
tentialities may not be as great as the es
Inmates indicate, but the federal govern
ment has all to gain and little to lose by
conducting thorough survey of the posi-
bilities they hold. Now that ores of pre-
cious war metals and other minerals are
so difficult to obtain from abroad, it is all
the more urgent that fuller attention be
given to the North Carolina divine depos

Cabbage And Kings

Cabbage has long been major crop IN
this section of the state and this year as is
often the case one of the major problems
has been to market it.
This week large number of cars are
being shipped from here to be disposed of
through the Agricultural Marketing Ad-
ministration, of Washington, D. c. This is
giving a large number of farmers who
otherwise might not be able to dispose OF
their crop, an available market Represen-
tatives of the marketing division together
with others, who have made this possible
are to be commended for their efforts.
Farmers interested in selling their cabbage
under this plan are asked to get in touch
with their county agent in order to avail
themselves of this opportunity at once.

"OUR BOB" TRUE TO FORM

When Senator Bob Reynolds,
