This loss can be avoided if proper caution is taken in time. If not already done, the meat should be thoroughly washed, dried and properly wrapped en closed in a good cloth bag be fore hanging in storage. The dried meat may be wrapped in heavy brown paper and then bagged. Another method is by using a cloth feed bag and stuff ing wadded newspaper all around the piece of meat as it hangs in the bag. The cloth bag then can be sprayed light ly on the outside -with lindane to protect it against any flies that might light on it. The Fat Stock Show and Sale was quite successful, we think.

Clarence Leary Will Not Run For Office In Election With several candidates an nouncing for offices in the Eden ton Municipal election on Tues day, May 5, one veteran Coun cilman announced Tuesday that he will not seek re-election. This official is J. Clarence Leary, who has served continu ously for 18 years as Council man from the First Ward. Mr. Leary for most of that time has served as chairman of the im portant Finance Committee, a job which he has filled admira bly, always seeking to prevent unnecessary spending and to hold down the tax rate without detri ment to the progress of Eden ton. Mr. Leary was elected Coun cilmen in the 1941 election, when he easily defeated John G. Small, and for most of the 18 years he has had no opposition, but was successful when he did have op position. In announcing his decision, Mr. Leary stated that many of his friends have urged him to seek re-election. However, with his many other duties and responsi bilities, coupled with the fact that he is getting older, he feels that it is only in justice to him self that he withdraw as a can didate. He expressed his sincere appreciation for the confidence voters have placed in him over the years and takes a certain amount of just pride in the fact that he has been able to serve Edenton for so long a time in the capacity of Councilman.

M TROUBLE FOR REDS IN TIBET —The world is watching the little nation of Tibet whose government has rebelled against its Communist Chinese overlords. Located in central Asia, in ther heartland of the Himalaya Mountains, Tibet lies on the border of Red China. Truly on the “roof of the world,” it is located some 13,000 to 15,000 feet above sea level. Pictured, above, is the great Potala (Palace of Gods), at Lhasa, Tibet’s capital. It is from here that a Dalai Lama has ruled his million-odd subjects for centuries. The palace numbers some 1,000 rooms, not counting outbuildings. It is built against and supported by a small mountain. Lamaism, a form of Buddhism, is the religion. Tens of thousands of monks make up the re ligious community of the nation, most of them housed in several great monasteries scattered throughout the land. Under the treaty recently denounced by the Tibetans, the country was governed by a Tibetan autonomous government. That was a modification of Tibet’s tradi tional theocracy—government by priests claiming to rule with divine authority.
