MAY 15. 1941 CARELESSNESS WASTES EGGS NEEDED FOR DEFENSE FOOD An increase of at least six per 1 cent (10 million cases) is needed in egg production this year to meet the requirements of the national "Food for Defense Program." including supplies to be exported under the lease-lend plan. Prof. Roy E. Dcarstyne. head of the State College poultry department. says poultrymen will be making a valuable contribution to the program by taking good care of eggs on the farm. Farmers also should I improve methods of feeding and I make full use of poultry equipment, : he said. "Carelessness in handling eggs for ! market lost 5 per cent of the United 1 States' egg production in 1939.". .

"This loss 1 represents 175 million dozen eggs. ! with a cash value of about. 830,500.- | 000. Careful handling means moreeggs for food supplies for this country and other democracies, and additional income for poultry producers." The steps in producing quality eggs, and more of them, are simple j and can be followed on every farm ! without additional expense, the! State College leader stated. The j steps include: 1 Provide the flock with proper quality of feed for good eggs. 2. Keeping a deep, clean litter on the poultry house floor, and eonfining the birds in the house until noon if needed. 3. Providing plenty of clean nests, at least one to every five hens. 4. Producing infertile eggs for the market This will require removal of male birds from the flock as soon as the breeding season is over. 5. Gathering eggs frequently, to reduce the number of dirty eggs. 6. Cooling eggs as soon as they are gathered, to as near 50 degrees i as possible, to prevent spoilage, j in ever place warm eggs in the ease. )f These UES! rday, May 16-17 Ladies7 Sweaters All colors and sizes to select from.

C. CHANTS ASSOCIATION VATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVEI Being Secret Agent Not Life of Immaculate Ease Spy . . . secret agent . . . espionage . . . We have to admit that there is about these words something which, for want of a better name, we must call glamour. Much of that glamour, of course, is false?built up by books, films and plays in which the secret agent is shown leading a life of immaculate ease in a luxury hotel, or shooting his way to freedom in a sinisterlooking street. Fiction never shows the spy as he really is?a lone wolf, working in surroundings where no man can be called his friend; working for a government which, ready to reward his services if successful, must entirely disown him if lie is discovered and sentenced to death?or worse. In the quarter of a century that has elapsed since the last war, much has been revealed about the workings of the secret service; the ways in which vital information has been transmitted. Clever, ingenious?yet how old-fashioned many of those methods seem now! Modern warfare is a matter of lightning decisions, swift moves; and the message written in the hem of a handkerchief or concealed on a coin definite1? i:? tj uao uo iiillllb. The man who stops his bicycle near a harbor and gets out his pump to pump up the tires may actually be getting out his camera. The camera spy today can be more subtle and less suspect than ever before, because of the amazing development in lenses ami film emulsions which has taken place in recent years. One of the biggest shocks we administered to Germany when the lost war was over was the revelation that we had been possessed of a large number of her very secret codes, and that thousands of "confidential" messages were translated for our own advantage. Vanity Important for A Pleasing Appearance Unquestionably, facial ugliness, whether due to congenital or acquired defects, even if superficial, imposes a serious handicap on one thus afilictcd. which frequently destroys his happiness and endangers his chance of economic survival. Yet in nearly all cases, even the gravest, these defects can bo eliminated or greatly reduced by skillful plastic surgery, and the individual can thereby be released from the bondage of abnormality. The correction of deformity may often be likened to cutting the Gor vuiui iviHu 111 a [laiiuiu s psycne. usually, after such a correction, there is a noticeable change not only in the appearance of the patient, but in his bearing as well. The sense of inferiority disappears with the abnormality which produced it, and its place is taken by a new confidence, a fresh, healthy outlook on life. It is popularly supposed that those who seek the plastic surgeon's aid are prompted by motives of vanity. But if by vanity we mean the desire to look one's best, to cultivate the good will of society, and to present to the world an attractive appearance rather than a repulsive one, then it is important to be vain. Safety for Bike Riders Until recently very little attention was paid to safeguarding and educating cyclists but with an ever-increasing toll of fatal accidents occurring to bicycle riders, automobile clubs in many cities are campaigning to cut down these accidents. Some of the safety rules suggested bv these oreanizations include the following: Ride in a straight line and do not change direction suddenly; keep close to the right side of the roadway; obey officers, stop and go signals and stop signs as motorists do; ride in single file on busy streets and never more than two abreast on any street; avoid riding too fast on hills and slippery or rough roads. Never hitch on to moving vehicle; never carry anyone on the handlebars; cross all street car and railroad tracks at right angles; keep the bicycle in good operating condition with a suitable bell and an effective brake, and for night driving have a properly operating headlight and a taillight or good reflector; be sure seat and handlebars are properly adjusted. Wearing light or white clothing at night will help prevent accidents. Natural Resources Science has merely scratched the surface so far in utilizing natural sources, according to Watson Davis, director of Science Service. He suggests that the government lend part of its gold accumulation to be used in studying atomic breakdown. It is his belief that an investigation should be made in the utilization of natural resources, from commercial production of diamonds, to obtaining power from the breaking down of atoms. Bad Pickers Jack Dempsey, when he was heavyweight champion of the world, picked Gene Tunncy as an opponent, instead of Harry Wills. Sharkey proved Dempsey could have flattened Wills. He lost his championship to Tunney. Spencer Tracy never has been happy with any role given to him. He is certain always that the role is bad. If M.-G.-M. ever heard Tracy say that he liked part, they'd call off the picture. IY THURSDAY?BOONE. N. C. Revolutionary Method For Treating of Cancer';, ! Classic experimental subjects of ; cancer investigators are mice. On i mice are tested serums, diets, ! X-rays, poultices?all manner of remedy and theory?before the treatment is made available for use on humans. Two investigators who reversed this process are Drs. Temple Fay end Lawrence Smith of Philadelp'tia. They announced a revolutionary new method of treating cancer? , the so-called "frozen sleep" treatment. Working on the theory that cold would kill the growth of cancer cells in the human body,they packed cancer patients in cracked ice until their temperature dropped below 90?previously thought to be the lowest body temperature at which life could be sustained. Though the cold did not kill them, it put the patients to sleep, with their normal j body processes dropping to a point j near death. The patients were kept' in their cold coma for five days. ! The result of this treatment, de- ! clared Drs. Fay and Smith, was to J check tissue damage caused by can- ; ccr and to promote healing in a | number of cases. Other successes were reported. Meanwhile, three cancer researchers in Santa Monica, Calif., decided I to apply the treatment to cancerous mice. The report of Fritz Bis-1 choff, Louisa Long and J. Jerome Rupp to the International Cancer j Research foundation in Philadelphia aisciosea mat so far as mice were concerned, "frozen sleep'' was a failure. After subjecting mice to the cold coma (24 hours), it was discovered the size of the malignant growths in the mice hod decreased, but only about as much as would have been j expected by reducing the amount \ of food eaten. Most important, aft- t er a short time the cancer tumors regained their growth, thus proving the freezing had no permanent effect on the mice. Professional tea tasters do not swallow the tea.
