if ? cyclone has jusi blown
it-rough after your children
leave for achool each morn
pajamas, Arty socks,
ays. candy wrappers, books,
papers, pencil*, crayons, and
numerous other Items lie on
the floors, all dropped by your
klda right where they finished
with them?
Has Mamma's voice grown
hoarse and disposition raw
from continually pleadtngwith
her offspring to pick n> their
personal belongings and put
them in place?
Have the youngsters, who
aren't really purposefully
messy but just have more
important things to do than
be bothered with housekeep
ing chorea, grown immune
to Mamma's verbal appeals?
And since Mamma once took
a psychology course, she's
afraid to use a stronger mea
sure to encourage their co
operation, such as a thick
paddle whamming, because
the~method fnlght warp their'
personalities.
If this situation exists at<
your home, consider the ad
vice of Professor Eric B,.
DeGroat, of the health and
physical education department
at Appalachian State Teachers
College, Boone, N.C,
' Professor DeGroat suggest
you install a domesticated
version of the old Army in
spection in your home, which
millions, while in the military,
learned, hated, and then grew
to appreciate.
It works this way in the De
Groat home:
Each of the two boys in tht
family is assigned an area
of responsibility. One ac
counta for his personal room,
bathroom, living room and
dan.
The other cares for his
room, kitchen, utility room,
and polices the 'outside lawn.
Each day before leaving for
school, the two DeGroat
'youngsters prepare for ins
pection. This includes making
19 their beds, emptying trastf
cans, hanging up clothes, and
picking up everything from the
floors that doesn't belong
there.
They do little vacuuming and
sweeping. Mother handles
that. Their main job consists
largely of seeing that every
thing is in place. And this is
a big help to mother.
The chore usually takes 15
to 20 minutes, depending on
the boys' spirit in going about
the work. When finished, they
ask one of their parents for
an inspection. Approval must
be had before they leave for
school. And if N^om and Dad
have to remind either to do
his job. there's a penalty of
10 cents for each reminder.
If the DeGroats' inspect
' ion idea sounds good to you,
they pass on these hints which
may ease It into effect:
Begin the system when your
youngster is young. Neatness
then becomes habit, says pro
fessor DeGroat. At first,
overlook a few deatils. If
Junior's bed isn't made too
neatly, lgaore It. Bat u he

e? military officer, camp J.
rector and Sunday School tea -
char. Many wri ikies moat ba
wnaaftad out. This takes time
and much depends aa you.
Remember, flviag a clean up
order it only 10 percent of
getting the )db dona. Seeing
that it's carried out requires
40 percent of your efforts.
But If successful, morning
police- fa the home can
pay tnaay dividends. These
may tnclade:
?Developing work habits
among youngsters that'll come
in handy at home and school.
-Lightening the mother's
housekeeping work load.
-Giving the home a neater
appearance.
-Teaching the (hildren to
be more neatness conscious.
If picking up trash ia their
responsibility, they'll think
twice before throwing it on
the floor.
And if your kids, like many
others, are over Indulged In
today's luxuries, possibly you
might receive just a bit of
fiendish delight in seeing them
actually workl

Influenza Major
Cause of Death
And Illness
Influenza has been recog
nized for many years as a
major cause of illness and
death. It is estimated the
1957-1958 and 1960 Asian In
fluenza outbreaks produced
59.200 and 26,000deaths. res
pectively, in excess of the
numbers which might have
been expected had no such
outbreaks occurred. Almost
90 percent of the deaths were
attributable to influenza -
pneumonia and cardiovascular
renal disease. More than hall
the deaths occurred In persons
over 65 years of age.
This year the Public Health
Service recommends vacci
nation (2 doses, 2 months
apart) for persons of all ages
suffering from: A) Chronic
debilitating disease; e.g.,
cardiovascular, pulmonary,
renal, or metabolic disorders;
B) Pregnant women; and Cj
all persons 65 years old anc
older.
Russians Won't
Plow Us Under
Thcnks To
Americai Farmer
The Russians won't "plow
the United States under" for
a long time, thanks to the
American farmers. saysR.B.
Tootell, Governor of the Farm
{Credit Administration.
Tootell points out that tt e
underlying strength of this
country is the efficiency of
farmers. "It takes less than
10 per cent of our working
force to produce abundant
jfood and fiber for us, plus
considerable for other count
rles. In Russia il takes 48
per cent," he explains.
"In this country more than
90 per cent of our people are
available to produce the things
that make up our high stand
ard of living and the equip
ment needed for a strong
defense. An hour of Indus
trial labor buys more and
better food here than In any
other country of the world.
"Fanners have rapidly
increased their efficiency by
substituting large amounts of
capital for labor. Capital in
vested per farm worker has
increased about five times
sine* 1940. The additional
capital has gone into enlarg
ing and Improving farms,
modern .farm machinery, and
the adoption of the most ad
vanced technology.
"While farmers have fin
anced much of these changes
from their own savings, they
have been bleased with an
ample supply of the right kind
of credit. The co-operative
Farm Credit System has been
the pace setter in adopting
credit term* to farmers'
needs and keeping the cost
at reasonable levels.
"This system now supp
lies 17 per cent of the credit
ueed by farmers and their
marketing end purchasing co
operatives. Farmers awl co
ops bot rowed $4 bill loo from
the system last year.
"To do this Job, the co
operative Farm Credit Sys
tem sold about U.I billion

Aptitude Test
T ? admissions Office of
Western Carolina College hat
announced thai ail 1461 pro* -
pectlve freshmen are required
to take the Scholastic Apti
I tude Test part o I (he College ?
Entrance Examination. This
is in line with the policy
of all state -supported colleges
in North Carolina. November
5 is the appilcaoon deadline
for the first Entrance Test
of December 3.
To register write to Col
Board, Box 592. Princeton,
New Jersey, or contact the
high school principal. A four
dollar test fee should be in
cluded in the application. A
ticket of admission giving the
exact dme to report and the
location of the" test center
will be sent in reply. North
Carolina applicants of WCC
may deduct the fee from fall
tuition.
Tvree H. Kiser, W. C. C.
admissions officer, said that
all applicants who plan to at
tend this college should have
their test scores sent here.
W.C.C.'s code number is 5897.
Also a written application and
the high school principal's
recommendation must befiled
with tie Admissions Office
Tests will be given on De
cember 3 at the following
centers: Asheville, Charlotte,
Forest City, Franklin, Hen
Jersonville, Hickory, High
Point. Murphy, Shelby, and
Waynesville.
Although the test will also
be given on later dates, Kiser
urges that W.CjC. applicants
uke it on December 3.
Kiser also urges that stu
dents planning toenterW.C.C.
in 1961 get their application
for admission in to his office
as early in the year as pos
sibly
city Investors areputtine their
savings to work out on the
farm."
Tootell advances the view
that "credit is probably most
farmers' cheapest 'tool,' with
the possible exception of fer
tilizer. In other words, a dol
lar of credit ? wiselyused- -
will make a greater return."
? Considering that our girls
dormitories were filled bv
February I, I n d the boys
dorms by April 1, for this
year, it is more important
than ever that you make your
application early." Kiser
said.
