port of the Delegates to the
B National Convention Ladies’
Auxiliary
Dear
Auxiliary Members & Friends:
The national convention of the li
C. and the Ladies’ Auxiliary is
noW history. May 1 say, if you did
pot attend, you missed the best op
portunity you will ever have of en
joying four days with the wives of
carries
from 46 to 48 states. We all
pa-
■by
all
(,„<! such a glorious time, it seemed
tho we were one great big family.
The social features of Lhe convention
unsurpassable. The business
K ssions were harmonious and with
out selfishness. Now at the very 'be
ginning of your reading account,
irel Tt you sorry you did not attend
lhe convention for the great -big
twofold purpose, the mixing and
singling with ladies who have the
iarae kind of experiences as you and
i and the thrill of visiting our capi
tal city of our United' States? Think
that it would mean to you to see
"Tear Old Uncle Sam” making
pet money and postage stamps
the millions. 1
,4s I said, we had- the finest of
comentions I ever attended and I
have attended eight national conven
tions. On Tuesday morning the joint
session of the convention was held in
that most beautiful building, Consti
tution Ha'll, erected by that grand or
ganization, the National Society of
the Daughters of the American Revo
lution. After invocation by L. M
L. M. Walker, we were welcomed to
Washington by Postmaster Burke
Our very own Ralph Albles responded
to the welcome address 'by speaking
the'sentiments of that great throng
of rural carriers, their families and
friends.
A short business session to appoint
urious committees of -both the car
riers and the auxiliary was held.
Robert Ramspeok, congressman
from the Fifth District of 'Geogria,
chairman of the civil service commit
tee, House of Representatives, gave
sn inspiring address on- civil service
legislative matters and the Retire-
ant Act. Following him on the pro-
pm was one of the big treats of
ae occasion, hearing his excellency
the Hon. James A. Farley, postmas
ter general, address this large as
sembly. He spoke very eloquently,
but in language that every one could
understand, and did we drink in ev
ery word he spoke! After Mr. Far
ley’s address, he favored that anxious
throng of his co-workers and their
families by standing for as much as
an hour that every one who wished
might shake his hand and exchange
a word of greeting. My old man sure
got a kick out of that handshake
from his -big boss; every one else did,
too.
Wednesday morning brought each
organization to their respective con
vention hailils, in the Mayflower Hotel.
Another feature of the convention
»'as an outstanding address by Rep-
Rsentative V. E. Jenckes, congress-
tan from Indiana. I trust you may
k able to read her address in the
minutes of the convention. At noon
Wednesday the Georgia delegation
hail their -luncheon, which is a yearly
feature, when- we all -break bread to
gether, with their invited guests
One hundred and twenty-four from
Georgia sat with, some of our su
periors, including Harllee Branch,
former second assistant postmaster
general; J. W. Cole, acting second
assistant postmaster general; Chas-
G-’addick, .superintendent air mails;
Robert Ramspeck, congressman; J. E.
Cooper, superintendent rural mails,
and Mrs. Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. R. H.
Combs, Mr. and Mrs. Courtney, Mr,
and Mrs. W. L. Fletcher and others.
The next big feature was the con-
rention banquet, attended by more
than 2,000. H. A. Wallace, U. S. sec
retary of agriculture, pinch hitting
for Mr. Farley in an address, which
"as enjoyed by all. We were advised
that at this banquet there sat the en
tire force of the Division of Rural
Mails -breaking bread with us as tho
they were one of us. My, what spine
thrillers we did experience. The chief
of rural mails and his assistants and
Ml the olerks and stenographers pre
tending they were rural carriers or
tural carriers’ wives, think of the joy
that would have brought you- as it
lid those of us who got the thrill.
Down the Potomac
Mount Vernon. When we looked out
and- saw the sun peeking over the
Capitol dome on Friday morning,
and we pinched ourselves and found
that we were awake, tears came into
uur eyes as we realized that soon we
would pack and be on our way back
to our “old man’s mail route” and
wish all thru the winter and next
summer that Providence would smile
on us in such a way that would per
mit us to meet our friends out yon
der in Oregon in 1939.
Election of officers was soon dis
posed of, as we were so harmonious,
we only had to elect one new officer,
that of exocutive committee member,
Mrs. J. D. Bennett, Enid, Okla.
The husbands of the -Georgia dele
gation had lots of fun. campaigning
for the election of President T. G.
Walters, Toccoa, for the vacancy on
the executive committee of the na
tional board. We could hardly get
these boys out of those caucus meet
ings for just a wee bit of sleep, but
they were iben and deterhiined to put
Brother Walters over in a big way,
and they did.
I am sure that when you read in
the paper that Georgia had been hon
ored by this distinction, that you re
joiced with us.
My, nvy, what a compliment the
manager of the Hotel May-flower paid
the delegates of our convention when
he aid: “This hotel has never enter
tained a finer group of people.”
In closing let me assure you that
from the bottom of my heart I thank
you for the privilege of representing
you as your delegate. I attended all
sessions and was glad to have some
small part in the Washington con
vention being a wonderful success.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. -Bert Cauthen,
Jonesboro, Ga.

of their great organization, dedicated
to the cause of alleviating human
suffering wherever the same may be
found to exist. The letter reads:
“I am in receipt of a letter from

between Nov, 11-24, inclusive.
“On Nov. 8 they are mailing small
leaflet, sample enclosed, to every pa

join their local Red Cross.
“They have asked that you act as
a keyman for enrolling members on
your route. I would- like to ask you
to help the Redi Cross in this mem
bership drive by getting at least ten
members for them. Supplies and in
structions will be furnished you by
your local Red Cross chairman. If
you do not know the name and ad

There will be an event of special
interest to Baptist young people at
the Butler Baptist church at 6 p. m.
Saturday, Nov. 19th. This is to be a
Baptist Training Union Rally com
bined with an old-fashioned 'basket
lunch. Well-known young people
workers form all over the state will
be here and take part in the presen-
ttaion of a program that will sink
deed into the hearts of all young
Christian workers and instill within
them the desire to do more for their
Master. In addition to this, there will
be community singing for everyone
as well as special music including
both instrumental and vocal. You
will enjoy the B. Y. P. U. orchestra
as much as you would an orchestra
over some radio station Along with
the orchestra will be a vocalist who
touches the trings of your heart
when she sings such songs as, “Is
Youpr Heart on the Altar?” Come
and hear her, then we are sure you
will join us in saying that she has
soul-satisfaction in her voice.
After about an hour of this enter
tainment we will have an old-fash
ioned basket dinner. There is no bet
ter way of renewing old friendships
and forming new ones than through
the fellowship shown at one of these
dinners. There is a certain something
about the custom of spreading lunch
together that draws us closer to
each other. So bring a basket with
you and join us as we eat the food
with which God lias blessed us.
After lunch is served we will en
joy another session of interesting
topics about the B. T. U. work. Along
with this program will be more sing
ing and instrumental music. The en
tire program will not last more than
three hours, so come and take part
in the meeting with us.
If you are a young person and re
side in Taylor county please consider
this as a special invitation to you.

Death of W. J. M,
News has reached us of the sudden
and unexpected death of W. J. M.
Sisk, father of our genial and effi
cient state secretary, steward Sisk,
both of Lexington.
Mr. Sisk was, at the time of his
death, thought to be in the 'best of
health, but while engaged in the
pursuit of his duties suffered a stroke
from which he never rallied, and died
before medical aid could reach him.
Funeral services were conducted at
Pentecost Chapel at'Lexington, and
interment at the Pentecost cemetery
nearby.
Fourth District Banquet
The Fourth District banquet held
at Zebulon, Ga., Oct. 22, was a most
enjoyable occasion for the carriers
and their wives, for we had numerous
friends from other districts and oth
er branches of the service. One hun

THE IMPORTANCE OF
HOME-CURED MEATS
thru the years to maturity and fath
erhood. Of course Charlie Wall, Ro-
dolph Wood and 'Gordon Thompson
wanted it to go on uip to the “grand
pa” days.
A hearty and humorous address ol
welcome by Mayor C. R. Gwynn, of
Zebulon made us all feel at home,
and the response by Solon- Ware, of
Woodbury, made it unanimous. We
all appreciated' the presence of oui
state president and newly elected
member of the national board-, T. G.
Walters and his charming wife, Mrs.
Walters, president of the state auxil
iary. Mrs. Walters gave a short talk.
A declamation, “A Good Friend,”
dedicated to the rural carrier, was
excellently spoken by young Johnny-
Baker, Jr., son of Johnny Baker, Sr.,
carrier of Zebulon, and who, though
new in handling a banquet, sure did
a swell job.
Mrs. J. D. Rogers, -state vice presi
dent of the auxiliary, delighted us
with that lovely song, “When I Grow
Too Old' to Dream,” -with some ex
temporizing that was great.
Joe P. Howell, president of the
Fourth District, named N. F. Land
of Jackson, as toastmaster. “Pete”
just couldn't feel a “verse coming
on” for thinking of what his wife
said just -before the meeting. “If you
get up there and make a monkey of
yourself you sure will be in the dog
house indefinitely.”
Our two lady carriers, Mrs. Bar-
field, of Hampton, and Mrs. Thomas
Newnan, were there and recognized.
Our old stand-by , Bert Cauthen,
of Jonesboro, offered the invocation.
Yours, Peter.
P. S. Just to show what these get-
together Smeetings mean, a bunch
from- the Third and Fourth are going
lashing down on the gulf Armistice
Day.
Since the earliest age people have
preserved meats by various means,
and some of the methods in use to
day have come down from great an
tiquity. Most of the modern methods
of meat preservation which have
wide conunercial use can also be
used in the home. Among the princi
pal means used are drying, smoking,
curing with salt, and canning.
Preservation of the farm home
meat supply is a very commendable
and economical practice.
The relatively high prices paid for
fresh and cured meats which the
consumer is called upon to pay at the
present time, in comparison with the
price for the live animals, clearly
shows the need for a wider practice
of home butchering, curing, and can
ning of meats. iMeat animals, es
pecially hogs, may be raised and the
meat cured at home for much less
than the cost of purchased meat. A
farmer cannot afford to sell hogs at
eight cents a pound and pay from
26c to 30c for pork shoulders, hams
and loins. A live hog weighing
around 200 pounds often sells for
sixteen, dollars. If it dresses 80 per
cen, which is about the average, the
dressed weight will be about one
hundred sixty pounds. This will yield
in the finished products approximate
ly thirty pounds of ham, tiwenty-
three pounds of shoulders, twenty-
seven- pounds of bacon (four strips),
twenty-three pounds of backbone
and spareribs (or pork chops), 45
ounds of sausage and lard, and twelve
pounds of head and feet. The -best
quality of me'at will result if the sim
ple rules are strictly observed. The
very wonderful flavor and texture of
country-cured hamB and bacon,
smoked balogna sausage, corned
beef, dry-cured lamb, canned poul

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
IS ADDED TO LOCAL SCHOOL
The State Department of Educa
tion!, the County Board and the citi
zens of Taylor County have succeed
ed this year in adding several new de
partments to the local high school.
Among the new departments added
is tho commercial department, which
consists of junior and senior typing,
general business, and a course in
bookkeeping cobined with business
arithmetic. The latter is an elective
course for seniors only.
This commercial department is
under the direction of Miss Laurette
Lancaster. Miss Lancaster comes to
us highly recommended and capable
of rendering the 'best of service to
these classes.
The classes are making a great
deal of progres along this line ol
work.
We have six new Underwood type
writers and hopes of getting six
more by the end of this week.

NEW BOOKS ADDED
TO SCHOOL LIBRARY
Since the beginning of the school
term the Butler Library has gotten
in about 250 juvenile books. Then*
have been quite popular with the
younger readers. Among thiB group
of books were many old favorites
such as Harris' Uncle RemuB, Grimfa
Fairy Tales, Carroll’s Alice in Won
derland, and Mother Goose Storie%
as well as stories by some of the
most popular authors of children's
t books.
, -Very recently the library hae ob
tained eighty copies of adult fiction,
and these hooks will bo ready for cir
culation. by the end of the week
| Works by such popular authors an
I Kathleen Norris, Temple Bailey,
■ Grace Livingston Hill and many
more authors are in the new selec-
ton. These books are the gift of tha
City Cpuncil and the County Board
of Commissioners.

Mr. Folds: Did I hear you say,

meat products bear testimony to- the
ability of farm folks to cure and
preserve meats
The advantage of having in the
home pantry a variety of fresh,
cured, and canned meats of tho
highest quality all during the year
is certainly compensation, for the
trouble and work at butchering time.
Next week we will give the story
on how to -build a smoke-house.

• The new cars in the Ford Quality Group
for 1939 give you a broad choice. Whichever
you choose, whatever you pay, you’ll get top
value for your money. That is true of the lowest
priced car or the highest. All have one impor
tant thing in common—inherent quality.
Their quality comes from fine materials,
precision workmanship, and from the fact that
back of these cars is the only automobile plant
of its kind—where productioh processes are
controlled from iron ore to finished car—and
savings passed along as extra value.
Things are happening in the automotive
world this year! Nowhere is the advance more
marked than in the Ford Quality Group. See
our dealers before you buy any car at any price.
