Farm - Home Week
Proves Worthwhile
Experience, Information
* And Enjoyment For
AH Who Attended
According to County Agent C. W.
t Overman, the annual Farm and Home
■Week program at N. C. Staite College
last week was a very interesting one.
Nearly 2,500 were registered and it
was estimated that the total attend
ance amounted to well over 3,000 farm
people. Said Mr. Overman, ‘‘Farm
men and women who failed to attend
certainly missed a great opportunity
for enlarging their scope of experi
ence, information and enjoyment.”
The variety of classes offered for
study and discussion of farm and
home problems enabled a person to
select the class most suited to his
needs. From observation practically
all of these classes were well attend
ed, and the interest was high. These
classes included such things as cloth
ing selection, insect control in the
home, attitudes and living together in
the home, making clothes and other
things more suited for the homemaker.
Classes principally for men were:;
Placement of fertilizers and how fer-i
■ tilizers act in the soil, adding live-'
stock to the farm, saving labor and;
other things pertinent to the farm
operation today.
The evenings were devoted to group
singing, led by Mr. Overman. Ama
teur talent contests were most inter
esting and in many cases provided
much fun. The quiz program, spon
„ sored by the N. C. Farm Bureau and
the N. C. State Grange, provided en
tertainment and fun. On each evening
a very inspiring address was brought
bv some outstanding speaker.
HEALTH FOR ALL |
ACNE
Teen-agers Are sometimes the vic
tims of many aggravations, some real,
others fancied.
One of the trials of the teens is
the “adolescent affliction” known as
“acne.” Acne is a chronic skin ail
ment, characterized by the appear
ance of small pimples and sometimes
blackheads particularly about the face
and at times on the chest and back.
Although it attacks most frequent
ly during adolescent years, older peo
ple and young children can also suf
fer from it.
Despite years of research on the
subject, the exact cause of acne is
still not known. Doctors believe that
acne in adolescents is primarily linked
k with the physiological change and
development taking place during those
years.
We know more about factors which
aggravate the condition. People suf
fering with acne should “avoid drugs
like iodides and bromides, exposures |
to external irritants like oils and i
tars, and certain foods such as chofr-,
olate, greasy and friend dishes, nuts,
some types of fish, pork, and rich
soda fountain concoctions.
In general, acne is a chronic inflam
mation of the oil glands and hair fol
licles of the skin. Usually, the con
dition starts when the sebaceous, or
oil glands, are clogged with dirt or
dead skin cells. What we know as
“blackheads” are the surface ends of
these clogged pores, darkened by ex
posure. Pimples associated with acne
result when the plugged glands be
come inflamed and infected.
Hence cleanliness is of paramount
importance in dealing with acne. The
skin, particularly the affected area,
should be kept clean with soap and

warm water.
Scrupulous cleanliness will remove
blackheads and clogged matter and
will also discourage the formation of
; pimples by removing bacteria which
I might otherwise have a chance to set
lup infection.
| While the cause, treatment, and cure
of acne are still under study, the doc
tor or a dermatologist can give the
sufferer relief and sometimes shorten
the life of the skin ailment.
The idea that acne is a necessary
part of adolescence and that the teen
ager will “grow out of it” is old-fash
ioned and sometimes dangerous. Acne
can and does leave scars on an in
dividual’s personality as well as his
skin. It is foolish to suffer heart
ache and embarrassment from a stub
born case of acne when modem medi
cal science can relieve or correct most
skin ailments, including acne.
While neither the doctor nor skin
specialist con guarantee to cure acne
overnight, proper medical treatment
will bring about improvement or cor- I
rection of the condition in a reasonable
length of time.

This Week’s Poem
"By WILBORNE HARRELL
"Let us then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
THE BRIMMING CUP
When the past lies dead and the future
frowns,
And the cup life holds but a mocking
draught;
When the brow is bloody with thorny
crowns
And misery’s cloak we wear and can
not doff;
When the night seems the longest and
darkest
And storm clouds gather to frighten
the sun;
When life- seems gauntest, weariest
and starkest
And the stout heart quails at the
course to run;
When the last few grains that fall in
the glass
Measure my struggles so desperately
grim,
Can I then say: Courage, this too will
pass.
Can a heart hold more when full to
the brim ? . . .
■ No brimming cup or heart running
o’er
But can with faith find room for one
drop more.
