The bugle blew again. Jack Adams felt Kathleen's
tap on his shoulder. Riders up," she said We're
late, jack
He turned, automatically crooked his left leg
felt Mikes hand on his ankle and the next second
he was sitting astrde the big horse. He was on an
island now, high island, looking down on the
crowd. The other horses were already leaving the
paddock, their riders guiding them with long loose
reins, patting their shoulders and twtching their
braided, beribboned Names doing all the little
things they knew that would soothe them. Jack
Adams sat stif1y straight as Kathleens voice came
up to him.

When he left the paddock and started the long
walk down to the start, Jack Adams began to know
the fear again For little there, Kathleen and old
Mike working on the horse had lifted him up. Now
he was alone. Always before, the feel of good
horse under him had carried him easily through
these bad few moments until the race started and
things were out of his hands.
But today everything seemed different. He be-
gan to think of ways in which he could cut down
the risks - take it easy, hold back off the pace,
steady the horse before each fence. j.. He hated
himself for thinking these things.
Are you ready. gentlemen"
He hardly had realized they were at the start
He turned his horse into line, settled himself in the
saddle again, tense.
The starters flag dropped. The thirty horses
surged forward. A hundred yards up the course
another man dropped yellow flag. The start was
good. Jack Adams felt the great horse under him
drive hard with his huge hind quarters, fling him
self into rush of speed, speed that he knew was
too fast.
HE TRIED to check him, but the racing snaff1e bit
was no more to that horse than nfilkbone is to

rushed at him, he closed his eyes, sat deep in the
saddle, feet thrust out before him against the STIR

his eyes and saw two horses falling, one on each
side of him. Ruddigore was clean over and on
his way.

and hauled on the reins. Ruddigore, his own ner-

the bit. Another fence, post and rail this time,
right in front of the crowd on the HILL loomed up
Jack pulled hard on the horses mouth - as hard
as he could. From the crowd standing close by the
fence Mike O'Brien's voice. thin and piping and

OUR COUNTY
AND
SOCIAL SECURITY
BY D. w. LAMBERT, Mgr.
Asheville Social Security Office
Subject: Who Should Have An
Account Number Card

The objective of the Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance program is to
pay benefits on the basis of the
workers average monthly wage
when he is IS or to his family if
he should die before 65. Therefore,
the Social Security Administration
must have record of the pay each
worker receives. This record is kept
in the form of separate Social Sc
curity Account for each worker. To
have a Social Security Account, the
worker must have an account num-
Der card. The workers name, to-
gether with the number on the card,
identifies his account so that wages
reported for him can be properly
posted to his credit.
If you are employed in a mill,
factory, office, store, bank, garage,
hotel, cafe, boarding house, beauty
parlor, or the like, you should have
an account number card. It is ne
cesssary whether you work full
time, or part time, or whatever your
age. .-.e..
You can get the application blank
from your local Post Office, fill it
out, and mail to the field office,
Show your card to your employ
er and make sure he takes down
your name and Social Security Ac-
count Number exactly as they are
shown on the card. This is neces.
sary for reports he must make to
the Government, showing the wag-
es he has paid to you. Take care of
your card. It is like an insurance
policy. 1t shows you have an insur.
ance system. This account is re.
cord of the pay you receive which
counts toward your future benefits
The size of the benefit will depend
upon the amount of wages credited
to your account.
| Our office is open from 600 a
m. to 500 p. m. Monday through
Friday. I will be in Marion on the Sc
cond and fourth Fridays in July

Begin Early to Protect
Garden Plants from Pests

Though many new insecticides
have been developed and are under
test, D.D.T. and rotenone remain
the chief reliance of home garden
ers for pest control in both the vege-
table and flower gardens.
Together they will destroy prac-
tlcally all insect invaders, and pro-
tect your garden from injury, if they
are used before the injury is done.
So begin spraying or busting at the
first sign of trouble, and in some
cases before you see the signs.
If you lack experience your neigh
bors can tell you what insects to ex-
pect, and when. When cucumbers
and melons, for example, you should
always expect the infant plants to
be attacked by the striped beetle.
AS soon as they show growth above
the ground begin to dust or spray,
but in this case not with D.D.T. This
insecticide can be used only with
great caution on cucunbers, melons
and squash, so to play safe the anna
teur may use rotenone, or mixture
of one part calcium arsenate to 10
parts Of gypsum (never ime.)
On other garden plants, D.D.T.
and rotenone may be mixed to pro-
vide complete protection against in
sects with one operation, since what
one does not kill the other will. One
of the newer fungicides, such as
fermate, may be added to the mix
ture, to give all around protection
against both insect and disease
pests. Prepared mixtures which ac-
complish the same purpose are
available for those who prefer them.
Whether you dust or spray makes
little difference, except in the time
taken to prepare equipment. Many
gardeners prefer busting, as a cup
full OF dust can be scooped up, put
in the duster, and be flying over the
plants in few minutes. Do not coat
the plants more heavily than you
would use face powder, but be sure
that all leaf and stem surfaces are
covered, top and bottom. The safest
form Of 2,4D to use for spraying

State Home Denomination Apen,

Bright red paint can be put to
many useful purposes around the
house, as an aid to the safety and
convenience Of the family, home
management specialists say. Be-
caue red is one of the most eye
catching colors, it is useful as a
warning and a hurry call
For example, the containers of
such poisonous materials as lye pre-
parations for cleaning drains or in
secticides, which must be kept
where children cannot possibly get
at them, may we'll have a coat of red
as a distinguishing mark.
Red also may help in emergencies.
The pail Of sand which many wise
families keep on hand for fire con-
troll will be easier to locate if paint
ed red, and the outdoor faucets to
which hose must be connected in
a hurry.
Finally, red paint on the handles
of small garden tools will help pre-
vent losing or mislaying them, be-
cause it will show up clearly against
ground, grass or foliage.
When you fry, braise, broil,
roast, or stew meats, do you use
every bit of the meat juice-served
with the meat or in gravies, sauces,
or soups? Not only is there good
meat flavor in those drippings and
juices, but there are vitamins too
Some vitamins in meat escape into
the drippings, just as some vitamins
go into vegetable cooking water.
Save them both for good nutrition
Cooking heat does not destroy
the vitanins in meat, but instead
draws them out into liquids. Brais-
ing and stewing draw out more Wit
amins into the liquids than broil-
ing Or roasting. Frying keeps more
vitamins ! in the meat than any of
the other methods, but only if you
fry your meat in shallow fat at
low temperature.
Foods fried properly are diges-
tible if you have normal digestive
tract-so say our medica' authori-
ties. When you continue to "feel
fulp long after meal of fried food,
stick-to- -the-ribs food for active
more time to digest than proteins
or carbohydrates. Thus they're a

L0UlSA'S LETTER

Dear Louisa: ..
l am divorced from my first hus-
band but like my past inlaws very
much. l have two children and they
60 to see their grandparents each
week. I go with them occasionally
but one of my friends says that l
shouldn't do this as it is not proper.
What do you think about it?
D. WIN. JERSEY.
Answer:
Long ago people who divorced
each other were supposed to avoid
each other and their respective IA
miles as 5hey would the plague
but in recent years this is not con
sidered necessary. If there are chill
dren, the fathers parents are still
the children's grandparents and
they continue to love these children
regardless of whether or not the
parents can make a go of marriage.
In your case, if you are fond of
your former in-laws I see no reas-
on for you to stop seeing them. If
it doesn't cause you or your form
er husband any embarrassment l do
not see where it should bother any,
one else.

Dear Louisa:
make a fair salary but l have
a very beautiful wife who is fond of
nice things. She has always had
lovely clothes and the best of every
thing. She made good money before
she was married and spent it all on
herself and now that one check has
to do for two people she is dissatis-
fled because she cannot have what
she wants. She says that she could
have married a rich man and this
makes me mad.
/ try to be fair and budget our
money-so much for living expen-
ses, an emergency fund and divide
what is left in half between the two
of us. But if she sees something she
wants she tries to get me to let her
have the emergency fund but l won't
do it. If one of us should get sick
or have some misfortune, that fund
is the only thing that would keep
US from getting swamped. Don't
you think I am doing the sensible
thing?
