On August 28 we had a marsh mallow roast for our parents. It was enjoyed although it was a bit windy.
 We studied the life of a cater pillar and drew picture of our pet caterpillar, "Hoimen."
 Saturday, as we were cooking an outdoor meal of bread twists. fried potatoes, cake and cocoa, We saw a formation of about 400 cranes. Then in the evening we ended our last supper with fried chicken.
 We were very much thrilled Sal urday evening when Hank Miller came out in his plane and dropped candy bars attached to little para chuteS.
 At our last campfire each girl wrote a wish for the next years campers on a piece of paper. The wishes were read and then placed in a can with an ember from the fire. At the beginning of the next season, when the first campfire is lighted, the charred wood will be added to the fire while the wishes are read.
 Sunday we broke camp for an- other year of wonderful camping.

MissOula, October 81, 1947:-Tim
Der cut from the national fOrest
of the northern region showed ar
increase for the quarter just end.
ing as compared to a similar period
in 1916, but the amount of timber
sold during the quarter for future
cutting decreased, according Ia
Axel Lindh, regional chief of tim
Der management.
Slackening demand during the
summer months for rough, green
lumber, together with shortage of
help for preparing timber sales and
shortage of funds to complete the
access road program, combined to
cause this reduction in timber sold
for future cutting, Lindh explained.
Total timber cut amounted to
129,655,000 board feet for the 3
months, July through September, as
compared with 1862 600 for the
same period in 1916 or an increase
of 1923, 900 board feet, Lindh ex-
planned. But, he added, the amount
of timber sold amounted to only
73,215,0 900 board feet as compared to
sales totaling 8O,830,0O0 board feet
IN the same quarter in 1916, a de-
crease of I07, 1915, 900.
Values of timber cut and sold
showed the same differences ac-
cording to Lindh. The timber cut
during the past months was valued
at $475,490 as compared to s43G,-
1917 for the same period in 1915.
an increase of $4O,993. Timber
sold for future cutting showed q
decrease in value of $349, 344, down
rom $615,723 to $266,379.
This decrease in sales is of par
ocular interest locally, according to |
4indh, because IS percent of ma
ional forest receipts is allotted to
he states for redistribution to the
ounties in which the national for
SITS are located for the support of

ROAD REVENUE

Great Falls, Oct. d, lg47:-Th'
Unexpectedly early comeback II
state motor vehicle registrations
which declined substantially during
the war, was viewed by the Mon

to figures released by the u. S.
Public Roads Administration in
Washington, estimated Montana

will run $50 above last year when
the number of vehicles registered
reached IFS, 049 The P. r. A. placed
this years estimate at 19l, 500 We

R. C. HARRISON, and where the
boy and his dog had spent many
hours.
Whenever he saw a serviceman
approach, Jiggs got to his feet ex-
pectantly. Sometimes he'd hurry
across the street for a closer look
at the uniformed man. He had to
be sure. And when his hopes
were shattered, he'd return to his
vigilance in front of the store.
Everytime a plane flew over
the town, Jiggs barked nervously.
The sight of Sterling stepping
from plane was still vivid in his
memory and the sound of a plane
made him hopeful.
He haunted the spots where he
hunted with Sterling. And fire.
ouently he entered the HARRISON
home, shifting about, searching
for the scent of the boy he loved.
But lonely heart weakens
even the sturdiest body. Besides,
Jiggs was getting old. Last week
he died, a victim of a cold which
his old self would have fluffed off
without a qualm.
People talk about Jiggs. They
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1947-05-02

Jiggs knew whose clothes they
were.
Sterling's father says, "Many's
the time I've watched Jiggs go to
the box and pull down the flap
and then bury his nose in Ster-
ling's clothes.
Sterling is coming home. In a
few months, the army will return
him to Tabor City and he will go
to the resting place his parents
have prepared for him near the
fields he loved in the outskirts of
town. And once again, Sterling
and Jiggs will be together at
home.
But if it is true that loved ones
are united after death, then Ster-
ling and Jiggs are together now.
And those who love them both
may find comfort in knowing that
boy and his dog now romp the
fields of eternity.

J. j. Hodges
To Build Stores

Two new store buildings are
slated for immediate construction
in Tabor City, it was learned this
week.
J. J. Hodges, one of the hest
known grocery store operators in
Tabor City for the past 20 years,
will erect two modern structures
on his lots between the Frank
Boswell building and the Modern
cafe on the Green Sea highway.
In preparation for the start of
construction, Mr.. Hodges has
moved his residence to an adjoin-
ing to in order to obtain room to
place the two buildings together.
Materials are expected to ar
rive soon. Mr.. Hodges hopes to
complete the buildings within three
or four months.
Although no official announce
ment was made this morning, re-
ports were that three other bust
ness buildings are to be construc-
ted in the vicinity of the Hodges
stores this year.
Mr.. Hodges is operator of Hold
ges Market, one of the oldest groc-
cry stores and meat markets in
Tabor City.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1947-05-02

say he was the only dog in the
world with charge account.
Whenever Jiggs was hungry, he'd
stroll over to Hodges meat mar
ket. His presence was enough for
those who knew him. Mr.. Hodge
would slice off a piece of meat or
get the bone he was saving and
present it to Jiggs. Then he'd
mark the cost in the Harrelson's
account book. "Meat, ten cents, by
Jiggs."
Dr.. L. M. Medlin has a story,
too. Once Sterling brought Jiggs
to him to treat the dogs festered
ear. Weeks later when Jiggs'
ear was clustered with thistles
from a romp in the fields, he went
of his own accord to DR.. Medlin,
entered the office, and sat before
the doctor for treatment. Few dogs
have such intelligence and it was
further proof that Jiggs was an
exceptional dog, trained by an ex-
ceptional boy.
To the end, Jiggs' thoughts were
of Sterling. When Sterling's eff
fects were returned by the army
|his father kept them in his office

went out after rabbits. But it
was hunting birds they loved best.
"Jiggs is the best bird dog in
these parts" people said. And
everyone agreed that Sterling
knew how to handle a gun.
Then came the war and Ster-
ling, like his friends, put aside
his hunting rifle, his old clothes,
and all the trinkets he had acquir-
ed with the years. Off he went
to camp.
His letters home always includ
ed inquiries about Jiggs. 1t could
MT last forever, he wrote. He'd be
home one day and he and Jiggs
would take off again to the fields.
And he wrote too of his mill
tary success. He was a radar op-
orator in planes, he wrote, and
it was all great fun and exciting.
Once when a trip brought him
to a nearby field, he wired to his
family to bring Jiggs to meet
him. AS Sterling stepped from
the plane, Jiggs yelped with joy
It was a great reunion for the
two friends. And it was theil
last one.
For shortly after, Sterling went

overseas. His crew was assigned
to the Italian theatre and assumed
the task of flying supplies to the
armies which chased the Germans
back into their own country.
When death came to Sterling, it
came in a way he would have pre-
ferred. Quickly, immediate, with
no painful lingerings.
Bad weather forced his plane
down in a small Italian village.
The next morning when they took
off for their home base, there was
an explosion. And that was all.
How can you measure the loss
of a loved boy? To his parents,
it is a gap never to be refilled.
To his friends, it is the end of a
soft laugh, a firm hand clasp, of
q trusted confidence. To his dog,
it means the end of everything
that matters.
No one forgot Sterling. Jggs
could not. He knew that some
thing had happened but he seem.

This True Story OF Boy And His Dog Sterling And iggs

This is a story about boy and
his dog.
1t is sad story. But it is sad only
because the boy and his dog are

heart. Good stock, they were.
Spirited, deligent, handsome, no.

'"There goes Doc Harrelson's
kid and his dog" people would
say. "They've got good stuff in
them, those two"
They were always together. And
there was a love between them
which only man who has dog
can understand.
They grew up together. Sum,

Strawberries Start Coming
To Local Market Monday

Strawberries began entering the
Tabor City market this week in
fairly large quantities although
they were of the cold-weather type
and were not of the best quality.
The auctioneers chant was heard
Monday as Jimmy Jayroe took up
his usual position in the auction
shed. The Tabor City Marketing
Association has engaged his SER
vices and full corps of buyers
have been on hand this week, in
Guiding local buyers B. Alton Gar
rell, f. w. Fonvielle and NJ. C.
Sarvis.
On Monday, AZ crates of ber-
ries were sold at an average price
of 5000 and Tuesday 90 crates
we're sold with the price dropping
to something like $3.50 per crate.
Wednesday 255 crates were sold
with the price still lower at $6.72
a crate.
1t was of the general opinion
here that the poor quality berries
accounted for the price being
lower than it was year ago. The
crop as whole is much poorer
in quality and the season is con-
slderably later than it was in 1916.
The market does not officially
open until Monday.

Rev. J. F. COble
Heads Drive

Rev. Joseph F. Coble, chair
man, this week revealed facts a
bout needs overseas which are
back of the drive for clothing,
bedding. and shoes throughout the
state. Despite two years Of peace.
he said, it will take, a long time
yet to restore the economies of
whole nations under constant war
fare for six years. With textile
mills destroyed, livestock killed
and driven away, bedding and
clothing burned, whole populations
are wearing soleless shoes and
rags. Lack of soap has made de-
terioration of fabrics worse than
normal.
Although Americans have Civ
en- generously in the past for
overseas relief much Of the cloth
ing sent last year is now worn
out. Even 100.000,000 pieces
which went abroad from American
clothes closets a year ago do not
90 far when distributed among
150,000,000 people.
The North Carolina statewide
drive from April 20-May II has a
goal of Eat least a pound per-
son." This means 100000 from
the entire state. The chairman
pointed out that this sounds like
a lot, but when reduced to the in
dividual donor does not work a
hardship on anyone. For exam
pie. he said, pair of mems shoes
weighs over a pound, while win
ter suit or overcoat weighs several
pounds. However, the goal of
"a pound person" does not
prevent anyone from giving
25 or so pounds if they have that
much surplus.
Collections will be made through
the churches and schools. The
film "Seeds of Destiny" will be
shown locally at a later date. 1t
was produced by the U. S. Army
and portrays overseas conditions
so graphically that it was awarded

tary pictures of 1916.
