Squint Miller, who's working as
a telephone lineman, was telling me
about some birds that got into a
fight with his company.
Seems a couple of woodpeckers
set up housekeeping in telephone
pole. Nobody minded them living
there, but they kept pecking at the
wires - causing one short circuit
after another.
Finally, the telephone people
who had nothing personal against
the birds-just stopped up the hole
where they lived. But they kept
coming back. At last, the company

ed effective in stabilizing farm
prices. Keeping farm prices
from sinking below the cost of
production is in the best interest
of both the consumer and the
producer, Mr.. Redman said.

ADVERTISING is NEWS

Few people realize that frequently the most
important news in a newspaper is not the
straight matter type, but the advertising. The
advertisements tell the readers where grocer
les, clothing, furniture and all other every day
essentials may be purchased and at what
price.
A college professor recently wrote book on
the economy of the nation from 1900 to the
present and used as his source material the ad-
vertising columns of three or four newspaper
files which covered those years.
Recently caller at this office from distant
state wanted to see some old files of this news
paper. He became absorbed in the advertising,
the cooperative prices and the illustrations of
couple of decades ago that he clearly forgot
about the news items which he was seeking,
and spent sometime in reading the ADVERTISE
ments.
Yes advertising is strictly new, Charles G..
Mortimer, chairman of the Advertising Coun-
Gil board, recently commented on American
advertising as the voluntary way against COM
pulsion, persuasion VS.. the stick and freedom
VS.. statism, Mr. Mortimer says:
democracy, like happiness, is lot of lit
tie things. Little, perhaps, in themselves, but
tremendous trifles in the battle to maintain
freedom. One by one The Advertising Coun-
Gil, has been trying to do something about
thenl-the voluntary, American way.
"Of this am sure: there is only one tre-
mendous fact in the world today-so overpow-
ering that it overshadows all other facts. The
world today is engaged in colossal struggle
to determine whether freedom or statism will
dominate. Even the awesome fact of atomic
energy becomes important largely in it's rela-
ItiOnShiD to this tremendous truth
eve have discovered in the last seven years
that advertising can literally accomplish mir
acles. We will be blind indeed, we will deserve
our fate, if we do not now apply this great
force to the defense of the greatest miracle of
all-the Miracles of America. ."-Morganton

lockwood RED

l. It's an open question whether the Towering
dogwood tree is more beautiful in spring than
in fall. In full bloom, when May is young, it will
take your breath away with it's spectacular
display in the pristine woods. It looks as
Though it were covered with swarm of white
butterflies fresh from the cocoon. A hillside of
Idogwood in full bloom is something to see and
long remember.
But when summer is past and frost ap-
proaches the same dogwood trees put on an
other show worth going far to see. First the
berries turn color. Where each blossom has
been is cluster of oval fruits that have fatten-
ed through the hot weeks and now turn, first
a light orange then brilliant lacquer-red.
They are brighter than holly berries and
against the rich green of the unturned leaves
they seem doubly red. Then it is that the squr-
rels hold holiday, chattering in the dogwoods
as they feast on the ivory coated seeds within
the red berried.
Then color comes to the leaves, dogwood-
red, which is like no other color in the woods.
1t creeps up the trees like flame, capricious
in its progress; one dogwood in cluster will
turn red overnight, while one next to it stands
green for another week. One will turn pink.
achieve the deep crimson that is warmer than
sumac-red and more glowing than the red Of
the wild-cherry.
Dogwood-red CLEANS in the woodlands now,
both the lacquer-red of the berry and the deep
red of the leaf. If you know the color, you can't
miss it, any more than miss the white beauty of
dogwood at blossom-time. And once known, it
will never be forgotten.-New York Times

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK

National Newspaper Week will be observ-
ed for the tenth time this year, between Oc-
tober 1st and October 8th The plan for the
week was developed in 1910, with the original
object of answering attacks and criticisms aim
ed at weakening the prestige and influence of
newspapers.
Year after year, the place of free press in
free society has been emphasized. 1t is just as
well because people very easily take for grant
ed the existence of free press and the bene-
fits of independence that the journalists of
America enjoy.
1t is not expected that everybody will recog-
nize the contribution that great newspapers
make to areas in which they circulate. Nor is
it even certain that newspaper men themselv
es will agree upon the virtues of any particular
newspaper. Nevertheless, the overall useful
ness of newspaper making has redounded
greatly to the development of intelligent citi-
zens and to the promotion of their just ambi-
tions
One of the features of Newspaper Week, OBJ
served every year, is special day set aside
National Newspaper Boy Day This year, it oc-
ours on October 9Th. Subscribers to newspa-
pers who are served by carrier boys urged to
appreciate the earnest efforts of thousands of
carrier boys who serve the readers of thous-
ands of daily newspapers throughout the land.
Many Of the great citizens of this nation look
back upon the years of service carrier boys
The business experience, the training and the
contact with human beings proved valuable to
them in later life. This observation should re-
mind those who deal with the carrier boys that
the youngsters are adept judges of human ma
ture and readily respond to the consideration
that one should naturally pay to youngster.

LET'S PREVENT FIRES

Early in October, practically every organiz-
ed community in the United States will give
some though to fire prevention because the an
nual week to urge us to be careful, in connec-
ton fires, returns on October g.
It is estimated that fires burn up $2,000,000
in property and take approximately thirty liv-
es every twenty-four hours. Not all of this loss
could be prevented but much of it is the result
of negligence, carelessness and plain foolish
ness.
The purpose of Fire Prevention Week is to
call to the minds of all citizens the danger Of
local fire hazards as we'll as to urge them to
inspect their premises for the purpose of max
ing them less likely to encourage fire. Incl
dentally, October 9th is the anniversary of the
great Chicago fire of 1871, which should serve
as a reminder of what can happen when flam-
es begin to destroy.
It is interesting to report that the entire loss,
during the first six months of 1949, was nearly
ten per cent below the same period of 1948. Let
us keep up the good record, go it better and
do all that can to prevent fire from njuring
u.s. damaging our property and the property
of those in Marion

80 CENTURIES AGO AND AHEAD

Archeologists of the American Museum of
Natural History recently unwrapped Peruv-
ian mummy said to contain the remains of a
native of that country, who died some 5000
years ago.
Newspaper reports relate that the experts
carefully unwound yards of burlap and bril-
1iantly colored cloth, including bright ceremo-
nial robes and short, tasseled poncho is a
state of nearly perfect preservation.
The earlier civilizations of Peru, and some
other Central and South American areas, are
attracting more and more attention from Anne
rican psychologists. Undoubtedly, some of
these ancient peoples were more highly devel-
oped than the inhabitants Of the North Ameri-
can continent.
AS we speculate upon the life, manners and
peoples of thirty centuries ago, the thought
Marion progress., 1949-10-06

might enter our minds that thirty centuries
from now, other people will speculate about
us. Certainly, if the atomic age proves too pow
erful for the mentality of modern people, there
may be opportunity for speculation three
thousand years from now. At that day, per-
haps, other human beings, struggling for self
development, may be puzzled by some Of the
relics that they discover buried in the ground.
