NAVY, the "Mighty Mouse," a powerful new type aircraft rocket is shown in these photos being fired from a Douglas Skyraider during a test at the Naval Ordnance Station, Inyoken, Calif. The rocket, more deadly than any developed during World War II, is fast and powerful enough to destroy any known aircraft with a direct hit.(U.S. Department of Defense Photo from International Soundphoto) faulty window glass were found in 100 cases each. Around 150 buses were dirty. Approximately 50 had faulty exhausts, six had emergency doors in dangerous condition, and the steering appa ratus on 23 was defective. Tires and windshield wipers were bad in approximately 20 cases each. One bus was listed with no igni tion switch. Col. C. R. Tolar, commander of the Patrol, stated that he will send a copy of this month's re port to Dr. Clyde Erwin, superin tendent of public instruction, ask ing that immediate attention be given to these defects. "The ma jority of these defects are serious enough to cause a repetition of the tragedy in Nash county," Col. Tolar said. "I'm sure no one wants to see that happen." On the whole, however, Col. Tolar was pleased with the report. "The fact that 25 counties, as Consumers Urged To Eat More Eggs Mrs. Annie H. Greene, Wilkes [county home demonstration agent for the State College Extension Service, this week urged house wives to take advantage of abund ant egg supplies by using eggs not only for breakfast but in [lunch and dinner menus as well. Mrs. Greene explained that egg production in December, accord ing to the U. S. Bureau of Agri cultural Economics, was 12 per [cent above December of the pre vious year and 50 per cent above average production for the month for the past 10 years. Production has remained high in the past few weeks, she added, and generous supplies of eggs are in prospect through April. Under the heavy output, egg prices had dropped sharply by mid-January, the home agent said, and both farm and retail prices were at the lowest levels since 1942. Mrs. Greene pointed out that I the combination of more eggs at f reasonable prices offers consum ers a chance to help their food budgets by using eggs not only for breakfast but also in lunch and dinner menus. Major reasons for the increas ed egg production, it was explain ed, are warm weather, which has increased the rate of production per hen; and larger laying flocks on farms. She said potential lay ers Gn U. S. farms on January 1 totaled 439,144,000, or 6 per cent more than in the previous year. compared with 17 in Decembe had buses without defects sho\^ that school authorities and m( chanics are cooperating whol< heartedly t0 try to correct thi situation,'' he said.
