Beyond Dali, the cast Of "The
Hasty Hart" is uniformly satisfac-

would be, is more effective than Ann

have had the opportunity to see Swed-

a real thrill out of seeing mere road

1t was not Goteborg or Stockholm,
or the world-famed factories of S.KF.,
Bofors, or L. NJ. Ericsson, or the agri-
cultural riches of Skane or the timber
of the far north that drew me as an
all powerful magnet on my arrival in

verbal red painted house, my birth

cities in the United States that can
pride themselves on the clean, fresh

H. L. Menken once wrote that it is
impossible to love the United States,

call love, but that, on the other hand,
one could fervently love that little spot

for the first time to visit the land of

understanding what Menoken meant
even if he doesn't fully agree with
what he says. For are not the highways

woods and over the hills which we
walked as children and youths, the
schools we attended and the church in

individual immature plants to
grow a while longer until they
are mature before cutting them.
Several other useful forestry
practices are applicable On some
farms in Ashe county. They are
tree planting, pruning, salvage
cutting, and insect control.
Practical farm forestry will
give the highest economical re-
turns when a use for all products
of the woodland is found. Since
most woodlands in Ashe county
have been cut over several times,
there is very little mature timber
left. Therefore, markets for pro-
ducts obtained when making
weddings and Trimmings must be
utilized to the fullest extent.
Records kept on farm wood
lands in Michigan by the U. S.
Forest Service and the Soil Con-
servation Service over a period
of five years reveal that wood

 Pointing out that Freedom and Individual liberty are never abso. lutely secure and are always in need of being defended" the iurist urged the new citizens Co vote. Co par- t.cipase in public affairs and to make themselves interested in pub lIc questions.

 He warned the new citizens against groups which give lip- service to the ideals on which this government Is founded, but whose real objective Is not in accordance with the principles On which our government is based" He urged the citiEens Co be watchful Of such activity and to use their power of citizenship" when they uncover mo. tives which are contrary to the principles of the government.
