Holmes briefly explained the me- i chanies of the American Legion and introduced the principal speaker, who was Charles H. Whitley of Wilson, vice command er of the First Division. Mr. Whitley outlined a few avenues of Legion activities in cluding membership, rehabilita tion and child welfare. He point ed out that membership is very vital to the Legion fqr in num bers there is strength, which is needed id the face of movements at times ""to strike at the heart of the Legion. As the rehabilitation, the speak er said many veterans are in hos pitals as the result of fighting for their country and all too often too many people are prone to for get about them and their handi caps. Child- welfare, he pointed out, is also very important. "We can not give them a mother or dad dy,” he said, “but we oen help them.? He/closed his remarks by say ing Legionnaires can get mem bers with little effort, if they will only put forth this effort. Mix J. L: Chestnutt, state mem bership chairman of the Auxili ary, Slso directed her remarks principally to membership. She stated" that the quota last year was liI.OOO members but the state fell s{iort. This year, she said, the quota is 10,247 and that the entirej’year will be devoted to ef forts to increase the membership. Mrs; Chestnutt issued a chal lenged the Legionnaires to reach the q£ota, though the Auxiliary has just about reached its quota.

Sanitarian Urging Proper Dish Washing 1 “'Today more people are ‘eatifig out’ in restaurants, lunch rooms, soda 'ffjtiTrtaioa- .estgb,-, lishments serving food and drink than ever before,” says K. J. Ey er, District Health Department Sanitarian. “It is of vital importance, for the protection of the patrons, that all operators of foodhandling es tablishments thoroughly sash and sanitize all dishes and uten sils. Improper washing and sani tizing of dishes, tableware and kitchen utensils in public places where food and drinks am ser ved may contribute to the passing of many diseases such as colds, influenza and other respiratory ailments from one person to an- THE CKOWAK HERALD, EDENTON.

To combat this danger, all operators are urged to cooperate in an all effort to promote better dishwashing. “Too much stress can never be put on personal appearance and hygien'e of employees of food handling establishments. Their freedom from communicable di sease protects its customers’ health and brings them back. If an employee is sick they should not work; it is not fair to the in dividual or the public. Promis cous sneezing and coughing are important factors in transference of infected discharges from the j respiratory tract. “Gleanliness promotes good; health ... good health promotes happiness . . . just as good food means good health."

HAYSEED 1 1 By UNCLE SAM i > w 1 THE OLD TIME WOODPILE To the oldster the woodpile had a cheerful appearance and the fire in an open fire place was more cheerful, But the old time woodpile like many other old things has h«d its day. Some wood may have been cut the winter before in order to have plenty of dry wood on hand There would be plenty of green hardwood such as hickory, ash and oak cut for the fire place wood. This would be cut in wa gon lengths and hauled to the woodpile. Early in the beginning of the cool season there would be a large pile of wood unloaded at the woodpile. There would be an abundance of .soft wood cut for cooking purposes. There would be plenty logs of green hardwood cut into fire place lengths. To go with the back logs would be fore logs. There was always an abundance of kindling and wood to fill in between. Once the fire I began burning more green and dry hardwood would be put on. No matter if the ground Was cov ered with snow and the wintry winds were howling there was penty of warmth and cheer in the room.' No castle or mansion was ever more cheerful and pleasant than sufch a room. '. , There were no televisions or ra dios to distract attention. There were no bombs and no artificial satellites to fill people with fear. At *bed time the fire was ered with ashes. In the morning there was a bed of live coals and soon another fire would be go ing. With the odor of frying country sausage, ham and steam ing the early mornings were just as happy and pleasant as the evenings. Modern inven tions have taken away the old time woodpile forever. They may have made life easier without in creasing the happiness of the days of the old time woodpile. 1 Vets’ Question Box'! —— Q —ls I take a part-time course under the Korean GI Bill, will I be using up my entitlement on the same basis as if I were go ing to school full-time?
