DOWN
TO
EARTH
By
CARLTON
MORRIS
THE FALLING LEAVES
ARE VERY LONELY
Editor, The Index
oasssvilis. ". c.

The first frost of this autumn
hit hereabouts on Tuesday, Mo-
vember 8, and like an old man
trying to regain his youth, the
season did complete about face
and brought the summer right
back to us again. Why only a few
days ago the temperatures ranged
din the 80's which is very high for
November in northeastern North
Carolina.
Old man Jack Frost did his job
we'll though, while he was here.
He managed to almost completely
ruin all the color around the
countryside. All the leaves were
turned to flaming red and gold,
interspersed with some green, but
old man frost turned the whole
world to a drab brown in one
night.
Now the leaves swirl endlessly
to the earth and go skittering and
whispering along until they pile
in windows against the grass OF
last summer. Blackbirds have
gathered in this part of the world
to enjoy their autumnal feast OF
grain and peanuts and even they
seem lazy and discontented with
the unreasonable weather. They
swarm into the air and quarrel
endlessly and drift downward from
tree to tree and we poor mortals
glance up from our hurrying and
remark that perhaps they are
harbingers of bad weather.
Yes, slowly but surely, the
leaves continue to pile deeper and
deeper in the woodlands and we
try without success to keep them
off the lawns and late growing
gardens. Despite the best we car
do, they give US sad feeling fol

and creep before the winds Of
heaven. They are all lonely Of

a resting place and the saddest
thing that can happen is for &
nor'easter to come sweeping IL
from the sea and dash them al
straight down to the cold earth
leaving the trees looking for al
the world like a harbor full Of
bare masted ships.

FIVE STEPS TO PROFIT
IN MARKETING TIMBER

John H. Gillian, forestry special.
list for the N. C. Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, has developed these
steps for adding extra money to
your pocket from your woodlands
or farm timber.
First, let forester help you de-
eide what timber products you
have for sale. The forester can
make a visual inspection Of your
woodland and tell you if your TIM
Der stand needs thinning or a
clearcut.
Second, if thinning is needed, let
the forester mark the trees to be
cut. Let him also determine the
amount of timber you have for
sale. If you know the kind of tim
Der product you have, and the
amount for sale, you'll be in a much
better bargaining position.
AS third step, advertise your
product. Contact prospective buy
ers. A list of timber product buyers
can be obtained from your county
agricultural agent. Invite buyers to
inspect your timber and make all
offer.
Fourth, draw up a legal sales
agreement. A sample sales agree
ment can be obtained from your
county agricultural agents office
Incluoe IN the agreement such
things as ~ length of cutting
time, (2) how timber is to be cut
(3) right of way, (4) and owner
ship of laps an dslabs, etc.
Be sure to include everything
in the sales agreement. But be
practical. Don't discourage pro-
spective buyers.
AS the fifth and final step, sci
to the higsest bidder. And make
sure the buyer understands the
sales agreement.

Pierced Through
By Fish Spear,
Diver Survives

MIAMI. Fla, Oct. 81 (AP).-
An Army sergeant's body was
pierced through by a skin div
er's spear today but he SUR
vived.
The accident occurred UNDER
water as Sergt. William c. Nor
ris, jr., 80. and his cousin, John
c. Rowell, 20, were skin diving
from a causeway.
The 5-foot spear entered
Sergt. Morris body under the
left armpit, the point emerging
near his right thigh. Two feet
of the shaft protruded from
the armpit as the 200-pound
sergeant was taken to a hos
pital. He did not lose con-
seriousness.
Doctors said the fishing
spear, which apparently missed
vital organs, had to be sawed
in pieces to be removed. Simple
withdrawal was impossible be-
cause Of its jagged edge.
The Sheriff's Office said Mr..
Rowell shot the spear gun &C
cidentally. He was treated for
shock after the mishap. Sergt.
Morris was in serious condition
after the removal surgery.

A major cause Of the shortage
was the excessively dry summer
in Europe. Retail prices in
creased 2 cents q pound in the
past week and another 2-cent
rise n in prospect next week.
Prices currently range from
four shillings sixpence (62
cents) per pound to six shii-
