Page 2 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, June 20, 1958 TOT ^Talk If you think the kids of today are h^eless juvenile delinquents, lend an ear to this stoi’y about some of their Moms and Dads. The parents referred to were little boys and girls themselves along about the time that the Ham- Kamsey revival came to town, and pitched its gospel tent on East LOANS No Red Tape, No Endorsers Nor Consignees On Any Model Car with 1958 License Plates 24 MONTHS TO PAY Courteous and Confidential DIXIE AUTO FINANCE Phone ME 7-5128 Floyd Taylor, Mgr. Front street. Rev. Mordecai Ham, you’ll recall is the evangelist who converted Billy Graham in the far end of the State— up in the Land of the Sky. As for Ramsey, he was a thunder ous choir director whose voice was as impressive as the gleaming ex pansiveness of his very bald dome. Being very well behaved, at least on the surface, the present-day par ents we’re talking about naturally accompanied their own parents to the revival, and looked for all the world like little angels as they sat there with hymn'books clutched in their hands. What nobody knew except the kids was the double purpose that those hymn books served. There were other little boys and girls in close proximity, and when little boys and little girls get in close m oximity the next thing you know they’re liable to be passing love WOODROW MOORPS Supplying Indoor Comfort With Heating and Air Conditioning Now located 318 First St. 0TOHB irotJii': wmM€jxatm wxrmm ^ •iOW It Costs No More Now, or Later!

Such things happen in school rooms, but how, you might ask, could you get away with it in the middle of a crowded revival tent. The kids figured it out, with typi cal juvenile ingenuity. One of the little boys, looking angelic all the while, would thumb through the hymn book until he found an appropriate title. Then, glancing slyly at that little girl across the aisle, he would hold up fingers to indicate the page num- ber- She would turn to Page 18, and the title would be that grand old Baptist hymn—“Love Lifted Me.” Turn about is fair play in affairs of the heart, so she in turn select ed a nice reply like “I Need Thee Every Hour” or “Almost Persuad ed.” There were plenty of hymns that fitted the occasion, and if it hadn’t been for the loud preaching and louder singing it would have been almost as much fun as spin ning the bottle, or playing post office or in the well. That’s what some of New Bern’s staid parents did in their own childhood. Now they’re wondering what the world is coming to, with all this juvenile delinquency. HOMEMAKER'S CORNER CHEMISTRY AND THE HOME —A new dual purpose household sponge designed to perform two kitchen chores—scrubbing and wip ing clean—has recently been intro duced. Check markets. Two entirely different materials are laminated together: a layer of cellulose sponge that absorbs and wipes, and a layer of tough urethane foam A group of 900 homemakers was asked to check laboratory finding with practical kitchen performance. After using the sponge for eight weeks, 89 per cent reported that they liked the sponge better than the kitchen aid they normally used. It is easy on the hands, too. Rec ommended uses include washing dishes, cleaning range, wiping ta bles and counters, cleaning pots and pans, scrubbing sink, tub, Walls, and woodwork. The conven ience of the multi-purpose func tion was the important advantage listed by homemakers. One sponge can now be used for jobs where assorted cleaning tools have for- erly been necessary. In washing- dishes, consumers found the rougher side of the sponge removed food particles easi ly—even dried egg—w i t h o u t scratching fingernails or silver ware. It also is recommended for dishwasher preparation. Most lead ing grocery stores across the coun try are now stocking this synthetic sponge, called the “Combo.” It is Every drop gives you more for^ your money} , SHELL^ KEROSENE Oil Dl£T"^R'..rrOR 7-''197 Higher Ridges and More Plants Mean Good Yams ‘The successful sweet potato farmer follows two practices }hat you can see from the road,” ac cording to Mark Goforth, one of Eastern North Carolina s well- known county agricultural agents. He says, “The successful farmer will plant on a higher ridge than the farmer that just plants sweet potatoes. Then, too, he will have at least 25 per cent more plants per acre. The successful farmer at the present time will have his plants eight to 10 inches in the row. This will give 14,900 plants at 10-inch spacings. The farmer that just plants sweet potatoes will plant them 16 inches in the row and will have 9,300 plants Goforth says sweet potatoes are one crop that never mature they just stop growing and the vines die when frost comes. “We use spacing as a means of producing the great- e.st per cent of number one pota toes. Plant them too far apart and you have jumbos and plant too close and dig too soon and you have strings,” he declares. “Research has taught us that we should plant six to eight inches in the row up to May 15. From May 15 to June 10 we should space eight to 10 inches in the row. From June 10 to June 20, the spacing should he 10 to 12 inches. Research has also taught us to change our fertilization practices. We should put about 500 pounds of the result of a two-year research program.
