The News In And Abiut Andrews (Photo by Sm Hoy's Studio) Rep. Lillian Cover may be a tiny little lady but she doesn't necessarily have a tiny little voice. One might think that such a diminuitive woman could not be heard as she represents Cherokee County in a world predominately made up of men. But once again Mrs. Cover made some folks in Raleigh listen to what she had to say. Mrs. Cover wanted a bridge across Tatham Creek and the State Highway Commission heeded her plea and built one. The Highway Commission awarded $1, 000 to erect o footbridge which Mrs. Over said was bodly needed for school chil- j dren. The bridge was recently completed.

"If eggs are not collected often, cooled quickly, and kept under refrigeration, the quality can go down hill very fast," says Thomas B. Morris, N. C. State extension poultry specialist. In one test in North Carolina where the eggs were not kept tinder refrigeration, none of the eggs made the top grade? AA quality? at the end of one week. Eggs that were kept under re frigeration for one week made 50 per cent AA grade and SO per cent A grade. "This is proof that farm hand ling practices can affect quality." says Morris. "If producers desire to sell top quality (grade AA > eggs, they should collect eggs around four to five times each day during warm weather, keep the eggs in a cooler at 60 de grees F? and sell the eggs at least twice each week."
