MRS. KERR SCOTT
Home Demonstration Club mem- ;
bers are very happy that Mrs. W.
Kerr Scott has taken over the role of
the First Lady of North Carolina.
She is no stranger to club members
because she was a charter member
of the first Canning Club in Alamance
County. During the intervening
years she has been active in the pro
gram and served as president of the
Hawfield’s Home Demonstration Club.
Governor and Mrs. Scott came to
the Mansion from their home ir>
Alamance County. The Scotts are
home-loving people and will no
doubt often return to their Melville
Dairy Farm to find the love and
contentment, the comfort, beauty
and order which is expressed from
the interior of the house to the flower
garden without.
As the wife of the Governor she
will preside over the affairs of the
Mansion with the same modesty and
efficiency for which she has been
known by her friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Scott says her first respon
sibility during the years ahead is to
keep the Governor healthy, happy
and at his best. She will be just as
interested as he in his broad pro

Improvement Noted
In Swine Practices
Great improvement is being ob
served in the swine production prac
tices of Martin County Negro farm
ers this year, reports R. M. Edwards,
Negro county agent for the State Col
lege Extension Service.
Growers are placing more empha
sis on pastures and feeding a balanced
ration, Edwards said. In addition,
they are following recommended prac
tices for the control of diseases and
parasites.
Members of 4-H clubs also are
achieving unusual success with their
swine projects, the county agent said,
and all of them are looking forward
to the Fat Stock Show to be held at
Williamston May 12-13.
Leroy Little, member of Woolard
4-H Club, started two pigs on full
feed in January. They gained so
rapidly that Leroy will have to mar
ket one of them before the stock show
is held. The other will weigh more
than 300 pounds by the date for the
show.
Alton Peele, member of Smithwick
Club, thought he would not be able to
continue his swine project this year,
since his corn crop was short and ht

had no money to buy feed. However,
a Williamston merchant, K. P. Linds
ley, agreed to advance Alton the feed
he needed. The club member is feed
ing out three shoats for the stock
show, and he will pay for the feed
when the hogs are marketed.
Unsafe Ladders Lead To
Falls Says County Agent
“Check your ladders and your
climbing habits if you want to be
safe,” County Agent C. W. Overman
of the State College Extension Ser
vice said today in reminding farmers
that unsafe ladders lead to falls.
Periodic inspections should be made
so that unsafe ladders can be either
repaired or discarded, the county
agent said.
Ladders should not be left where
they will fall, be tipped over, or
bumped into. They should be stored
in a readily accessible location where
they can be obtained in a hurry in
case of fire.
Before mounting a ladder, be sure
it is set securely. The National
Safety Council recommends that it be
set from a wall so that the base is
one-fourth the distance to the top
support. ' A ladder should also be
tied or someone should hold it, if
used where there is danger of slip
ping.
Always face the ladder going up or

down, and hold on with' both hands.
Take one step at a time —don’t hurry.
It is easier and safer to get on and .
off a ladder that extends well above
a landing. Tools or materials that
cannot be carried safely in pockets
should be hoisted with a hand line.
Work facing the ladder, and hold
on with one hand. Avoid working
in a hjgh wind. Avoid over-reaching
or over-exertion in pushing or pull
ing while working on ladders. Re
