because the animals are driven

Marvin Parlier, who lives in
the Chestnut Hill community, is
preparing to seed more sericea
lespedeza this spring. Mr.. Par
lier seeded two and one-half
acres to sericea on land that
would not produce grass. MIR.
Parlier says that even though this
land was very poor he obtained
a good stand and a satisfactory
growth the first year.
Strip-cropping has become a
very popular conservation prac-
tice in Ashe county. The New
River Soil Conservation District
has on file requests from all parts
of the county for contour lines to
be staked out on more than 5OO
acres. These lines are to be US
ed as guides in establishing a
system of contour strip-cropping.
T. L. Shatley states that by
blowing one of his fields solid
last year, he feels sure that the
damage to his field by erosion
was at least one hundred dollars.
Mr.. Shatley says that he is con-
fident that strip-cropping will
eliminate this erosion.

4. Gire ii avay. Well in my opinion there are objec-
tons to that too It's bad for country to end up
in the role of Santa Claus it's bad for other countries
to end up as receivers of charity.
So there are four choices and none of them fits
the problem Does that were stuck? Let's think
a little harder and see if we can find an answer
Can't we invent new kind of currency: Instead
of giving the stuff away selling it for dollars that
will never be paid can we SELL it for something that
has real value for the American people?
How would it work? Here is the plan - and we
have good precedents for it in similar plans now in
effect between the United States and China, and the
United States and Latin America

United States and Latin America.
Goodwill Endowment Fund
In DIsPoSNG of surplus goods in other countries,
we would approach the problem on hard-headed
dolars-and cents basis. Where practical we would
dispose of them for certain amount of cash. or goods
actually wanted or needed in the United States But
for the major part of the payment we would ask the
receiving nation to agree to establish what is, in
effect, an endowment fund" dedicated to building
better understanding between that country and ours
Once normal conditions are established, that fund
would provide for regular exchange visits between
citizens of the two countries Such exchanges should
include groups of teachers, Students, journal
lists, labor leaders, farmers, musicians, artists,
workers, scien lists and business leaders. They
would not go tourists - they would go working
Students rst-hand observers technicans. Details
could be worked out by State Department to
provide wide cross section of both countries along
the lines of the excellent Cultural Cooperation pro-
gram in effect with the Latin American countries
That program, financed largely by the u. S. Treasury
has already paid us big dividends in better under
standing in this hemisphere. Now we surplus
goods to make the program worldwide
The expense of the exchanges would be borne in
whole or large part by the country receiving
plus goods. In my opinion it would be a much more
practical arrangement than lump payment in goods
dollars: first it would spread the payments out
long period Of years; second it would be less
disturbing to the economic equilibrium of the
tries concerned than transaction based wholly on
the immediate delivery of gold goods.
Ideas Work for Freedom
ExCHANGE visits only one possibility There
many other specific things which contribute to
breaking down the walls between countries. One
example: agreements concessions between the
United States and the receiving countries to keep
their press moving picture theaters and radio sta
tons always open for the free interchange of ideas.
Doubtless at this point many Americans will say,
Look, we're not getting our moneys WORTH" But
think of the alternatives Under any other concev-
able arrangement will end up with lot of rusty
outmoded equipment hands, lot of bad
debts in our Treasury Department. Under this plan,
at least, we making a positive step toward
peace, prosperity and international good will.
Picture such plan in operation over period of
years. Gradually nation and other nations would
learn to know each other not through propaganda,
but through frsthand knowledge. Remember: the
thing we are fighting is the concept of dictatorship
which always grows up behind the walls of secrecy,
suppression, fear and force Unless want to travel
the road to new, more costly and more cruel wars
must break down those walls so that the ideas of
The Nome nugget., 1945-09-21

Every woman wants her home to be attractively different. I recent ly visited such home as a lunch con guest. It was so wonderfully full of gay, colorful ideas that I want to tell you about it.
 By the simple use of ready pasted cut-outS my hostess had transformed an otherwise ordinary dwelling into an attractive, radi- ant home In her kitchen she had generously used several beautiful flower designs sprinkled on the cupboard doors, canister set and salt and pepper shakers. Instead of tucking away her pot pads, she displayed them prominently with cut-outs of gay Berry Clusters" Flower pots on the window sill had been frightened with small cutOutS of the Peasant Stencil" with a larger design on the waste basket.
 The luncheon table was almost too beautiful to disturb Clever use of ready-pasted cut-outs on the napkins, place cards, wooden serving trays, hot dish pads, and individual ash trays made a diff ferent and colorful setting.
 Each room was a pleasant, gay surprise, just bursting with life. She showed me how easy it is for the inexperienced home decorator to achieve the professional touch with ready-pasted cut-outs. They are inexpensive, and each one of

GIRL SCOUTS TREAT NbOY SCOUTS

Last evening the Boy Scouts xwere treated at their regular meet ing to homemade cookies which were made and served by the Girl Scouts. The two young peoples groups then indulged in a get together and party and were re- luctant to be on their way home before curfew. The Boy Scouts are temporarily meeting in the basement of the B. c.

seventeen attractive patterns is die-cut all around. Only a moment is required to separate the design from the background, dip in wa ter, and pat in place with clean, dry cloth. You will find them on sale in department, chain, drug, hardware or paint stores.
 You'll want to use cut-outs not only on painted walls and furni- utre but also on the little accessor- ies around the house. My hostess did and her home was attractively different.

Costly Stadium Criticized
Al Citizens Meefinq

A warning against too ambitious
plans for the proposed District sta
dunn was voiced last night at a
meeting of the Randle Highlands
Citizens Association.
"If we insist on a structure costing
$25 900 900 and seating 200 900, we
are likely to get nothing" Chaales
A. Barker, member of the group
declared.
Mr.. Barker suggested scaling down
the estimates to $4,000, 900 or ST.
000, 900 and 10000 capacity. UNLESS
this is done the stadium soon will
be dead ISSUE" he predicted.
T. Paul Mudd, secretary, an
nounced he will press demands OF
the group that the District Recrea-
ton Board provide Fairgrounds for

Veterans Housing Issue.
The issue, however, Is represented
to be far from dead, with revival
linked up with the housing crisis
expected as more veterans return

Housing for veterans rapidly is
emerging as one Of the most serious
social, political and economic prob

real estate industry, and this week
was brought into dramatic focus by
the visit of Franklin D. Roosevelt,

The visit of the former Presi-
dents son In behalf of housing for
New York veterans was looked on
as the forerunner of increasing
pressure for measures which will
channel housing to veterans at rea-
sonabie prices.

has estimated that by the end of
1946, 10000 veterans families will
be among 100000 families living
doubled up" unless something is
done to give veterans preference.
