p. \ # ' ~ Lowly SpHnter Is Common Annoyance »Ever Present Possibility Os Causing Danger ous Infection . The lowly splinter ranks as one of the most common annoyances of man kind. It is forever jabbing itself into an unsuspecting finger, hand, or toe, and imbedding itself in such away that it defies any but the most patient; efforts to remove it. Fortunately, most splinters, slivers, thorns, and similar foreign bodies cause few serious consequences, aside from the pain and annoyance involved. Ever present, however, is the danger that the splinter wound may become infected. Many cases of the more sedious infections such as tetanus and blood poisoning have developed as a result of tiny slivers which have car ried bacteria under the skin. It is always advisable to remove a splinter immediatel yafter it enters the skin. Removal is best performed by the person who knows the “tricks of the trade,” as well as when, and when not, to attempt the operation. Here are some suggestions compiled by the Institute for Safer Living of fee American Mutual Liability Insur ance Company, which will help you to remove your next splinter more Easily and with less danger of infec tion. Attempt to remove only superficial easily reached foreign bodies from the flesh. All deeply-imbedded splin ters or other foreign bodies should be removed by a doctor. Use small sterilized forceps or tweezers if pos sible. If a needle or similar sharp instrument is used, be sure to steri lize the instrument by holding it over a match flame. Use promptly after sterilizing. Wash the adjacent skin with soap and water and apply antiseptic before you tackle the splinter. One method is to soak the hand or foot in a warm salt water solution (one teaspoon of salt in one pint of warm water) from twenty to thirty minutes. This tends to bleach the skin and make the for eign body raidly visible. In some cases it may help to draw the foreign body to the surface of the skin, mak ing it easier to reach. Lift or press a splinter out in the i reverse direction of the pentration. Do , not attempt to dig the flesh or skin away from it. If a splinter is brok en while being removed, have a doctor j remove the remaining imbedded part " at once' * Remember that the two main ob jectives is removing a splinter are to keep the wound clean and free of contamination and to avoid further damaging of the tissues. Unless this ’.can be done safely, it’s best to leave ’ the removal to a doctor. A small sterile dressing should be applied un til the wound heals. Harvey Cayton Dies After Long Illness, Harvey L.

The garrison site at West Point, consisting of ; 1,795 acres, waa purchased in 1790. It has been occupied by the Army since 1778, and hence the bar racks and other buildings, while inadequate, were available for the launching of the new institution. Major Johnathan Williams, grand-nephew of Benjamin Franklin, was appointed first superintendent. The threat of war with England in 1812 impelled Congress to increase the corps of cadets to 250, and “• r# *°l“ Bhow * th »t those early graduates served their country well— a quarter of more than 100 young officers who saw action in the War of 1812 were killed or wounded. . „£°i- Sylvanus Thayer, a graduate of the Academy in 1808 and a distinguished officer in the War of 1 « 12 tr wa * superintendent from 1817 till 1833 and is known as the “Father of the Military Acad emy.

KEEPING UP ON FARMING I With Uncle Walt Well, looks like things is a shapin i up pretty good for us tobacco farm- i ers this year. Least ways that’s what i I gathered from the talk I heerd in 1 the county seat the other day. i This feller W. P. Hedrick, who’s a ( tobacco marketing specialist with the j State Agriculture Department at Ra- 1 leigh, was a talkin to a bunch of j t farmers in the court room and I got I wind of it while I was in Charlie, 1 Nole’s store a buyin me some seed!; pertaters. I ’lowed I’d go over and 1 hear what he had to say ’specally c when they told me he was gonna talk < about what we could expect on our t tobacco crop for this year. ( Well sir, ’fore I could git over there ■ and up the dratted steps to the court room, he’d done started talkin. I don’t know how much he’d said ’fore I got there but I know he said a lot after I got in and got me a seat. Seems like from the way he give it in, us flue-cured growers can count on gittin a little better price for our tobacco this year than we got last. Now if you don’t think that sounded good to these old ears of mine, you jest don’t know. The way he sized it up was that this Stabulation outfit didn’t git much of the crop last year so we ought to have a pretty strong market for the 1952 crop. He give a bunch of fig gers about how much we shipped to these furrin countries, but when they git to talkin about millions and bil lions I forgit it by the time I hear it. I do remember one figger he men tioned though. It was where Great Britain bought about 150 million pounds of our tobacco last year. He said that feller Churchill over there talk like they couldn’t buy nothin like that much this year ’cause they’re runnin a little short on money. He j ' —.u —o— I THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C.

But if they don’t git our money, I reckon from the way he give it in, this Stabulzation bunch bet ter figger on buyin a little more of the crop this time. You should of heei-d him talkin Tiout the cigaret smokers we got right here in our own country. It’s a sight in this world at the number we smoke > over here and he says the American cigaret is considered a luxury with them furriners.

I didn’t listen too good when he commenced to talkin about the burley growers and what they could count on for this year, but I do remember him a sayin that the burley situation 1 ain’t as good as the flue-cured. Seems' l like this Burley Stabulzation Pool, or some such outfit, has got a right! good little bit on hand now and them! fellers up in the mountains had ano other right big crop last year. He sort a summed up his talk in a, nutshell right before he set down. Two of the main things he said was that we’ll probly ship out a little more i of flue-cured and burley tobacco to furrin countries during 1952 than we did last year. And the other one was that us farmers oughta do everything wo can to grow good tobacco. Ac- cordin to him, we didn’t get any high er price for our tobacco last year on account of the lew and medium quali ty stuff we put on the floors to sell. [ BNBS~] I fflUli By Ttd tinting 5 ••••SSSMSSSSIMISSaSMat«MIIIIIIIMI«IISS*(*I(*MIIIIII*It*ISHIIIIufS) Smoking will preserve game and fish almost indefinitely in most any climate, and when so preserved it is delicious and as good eating as if fresh. Smoking is relatively simple, but it does require attention to the fire or smudge four or five times a day during the process, which takes from two to four days. Here, briefly, are the steps as outlined by Col. Town send Whelen. Some kind of a smokehouse is neces sary, but it does not have to be elabor ate. The simplest arrangement is to rig up some kind of chimney, say 30 ! to 40 inches square, made of wood or sheet metal, with shelves and with) a trench below it or slightly to one side in which to build the fire or j smudge. Now’ you need a big fish. Any spe cies can be smoked, just so they are large fish that will fellet into slabs at least half an inch thick. Clean the fish, remove the heads, and split in two pieces in line with the backbone. | Lay the halves skin side down on a , log, sprinkle salt over them, and cover W’ith canvas. Do this in the early evening. Build your fire early the next morning, just enough to make a small bed of coals. Then feed it on rotten, punky or wet wood so it will smolder and smoke, with little or no flame. You must use only hardwood —birch, maple, aspen. Never any pitchy wood like spruce, pine or hem lock that w T ould give a disagreeable taste to the smoked food. When the smudge is going well, with a column or even just a wisp of smoke going up the chimney, wipe the salt off the fish and lay the fil- L ||Km ; pi 1 FoulUlflY l|: C-HI (1 L_4 ALUMINUM 1 |T AWNING?

KINTVCIV PAGE NINE lets, skin side down, on the shelves and close up the chimney. Keep the smudge going all day so smoke is constantly circulating around and over the fish. You want only warmth, not heat. Neither the fish nor the chim ney should ever get so hot you can not place your bare hand on them. The chimney must have smoke in it all the time during daylight to keep the flies off; build it up well when you go to bed. It probably will take from two to four days to smoke your fish proper ly, depending on the weather and the volume of smoke. When done, put the fillets aw r ay, skin side down and where they will keep dry. You don’t have to keep them cold, so don’t place them in a refrigerator or any damp place or they will mildew. Smoked fish will keep for weeks. You can smoke game birds, such as quail or grouse in exactly the same way, splitting them, slightly salting them overnight, and laying them flat on the smokehouse shelves. Deer, moose, caribou, tongues, even sheep and beef, may be similarly smoked, cutting fat-free meat in flat strips not over an inch thick. IF YOU’RE NOT UP TO PAR MAYBE IT’S THE WEATHER Certain weather conditions, scien tists believe, can cause sharp rise in heart attacks, fainting fits and other physical changes.
