Mintz There is no better time to start taking full advantage of your elec tric range oven than right ngw, while the weather is hot. No one enjoys lingering in the kitchen and you will cut kitchen time to a minimum by cooking oven meals. Prepare the following food, put it in the oven and let your elec tric range do the work while you go to a movie, shop, or just relax at home'. Baked Ham .

Fans Give It the Extra Zip Needed By IRA MILLER Farm Electrification Bureau With your fevered brow baking and the corn “popping” in the broil ing sun, it may be hard to believe, but . . . your body has its own built in "air conditioning” system. Os course it may need a little help to function effectively, but it has one nevertheless. Here’s how it works: when the temperature rises you start to perspire; when the per spiration evaporates quickly, you feel cooler. Now, there’s very little difficulty in perspiring in hot weather. The trick is to get rid of excess perspiration quickly. And, you can do it if you keep the air around you in motion. Take an uncomfortably warm house on a hot day. for example. You can keep it cool inside if you apply a few simple principles. In the daytime, summer outdoor air is warmer and more humid than air indoors. So —close the doors and windows and pull down the shades or blinds so that heat can not be transferred into the house from out side. Don’t worry about lack of air. There’s plenty of it in the house. All it needs is motion to overcome any feeling of stuffiness. An electric fan or fans of the proper rating and correctly located will do an efficient air circulation job for you at little cost. Fans circulate a given number of cubic feet of air per minute, and this data appears on their name plates. To get the right size of fans needed, therefore, you must first know the cubic feet of air in the room to be cooled. This is done by multiplying the length of the room x the length x the height. Say this comes to 2,000 cubic feet. Therefore, a fan or fans with a total rated capacity of at least 2,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) will move the air in this room once every minute. In cooler climates a 2 or 3-minute air circulation cycle may be ade quate. Be sure, too, that your fans are located correctly. Figures 1, lA, 2 and 3 show different types of fans available and the different patterns of air which each creates to cool off your room.

However, H. E. Scott, extension entomologist at State College, says that newer in secticides are being used success fully against these “underground bandits.” , Scott says that the three meth ods of applying soil insecticides in clude: broadcast row treatment, and seed treatment. Broadcast treatment consists of applying an insecticide either spray or dust to the soil surface and then working it into the top four to six inches. In this state, broadcast treat ments are recommended for the control of wireworms in sweet and Irish potatoes as follows: chlor dane, 4-6 pounds per acre; or al drin or heptachlor, two to three pounds of actual chemical. Row treatment consists of ap plying insecticide in a band of varying widths along the plant row, either before or at time of planting. To control wjiite-fringed beetle in vegetables, the following row-type treatment is suggested: chlordane one to two pounds; or aldrin or heptachlor, both % to 1 Vz pounds of actual taxicant per acre. In seed treatments, the insecti cide is applied to the seed before planting. This can be done by mix ing the insecticidal dust and the seed dry, or spraying the insecti cide on the seed (using only wet table powder). As a rule, it is best not to store treated seed more than a month. RUBBER TILE PLASTIC TILE EDWARDS FLOOR FINISHING CO. Specialists on Finishing Old or New Floors PHONE 2146 ZEBULON, N. C. Friday, August 19, 1955 Deaths and Heat Rise Together A sudden spell of hot weather brings a sharp increase in deaths, especially among the aged and the chronically ill, and increases the need for special care for such per sons. When, in early July in New York City, temperatures for six days of one week ran above 87 degrees and on four successive days above-90 with a high of 96 deaths rose 39.7 per cent over those for the comparable week in 1954. The 1954 temperature aver aged 71.1 degrees, with a high of 83. Deaths from high blood pressure increased most —by 115 per cent. Vascular lesions accounted for an increase of 61.1 per cent and arte rioscleriotic heart disease for 32.7 per cent. Cancer deaths increased by 31.6 per cent in the 1955 hot week over the figures for the 1954 week of moderate temperature. As the number of persons past 65 in our population increase, the fatal effects of heat may be ex pected to become a matter of ever growing corncern. There are ap proximately 14 millions in that age group today and, by 1960, the number will have increased to about 16 millions. Although diseases involving the heart and blood vessels are still common causes of death among the elderly, new scientific develop ments are producing drugs to com bat them. For the painful heart condition known as angina pec toris, a new drug called Peritrate —a first cousin of the explosive nitroglycerin has been estab lished as the most effective in prevention of angina attacks. For high blood pressure, there is a new drug, hexamethoninm chloride, taken by mouth. It has been adjudged the most valuable agent for the control of runaway pressures. Its original oral form has recently been combined with reserpine, the “tranquilizing agent” derived from the root Rau wolfia which Indian physicians have been using for hundreds of years. Studies have shown that the combination relieves symptoms of high blood pressure with small doses. Heat is becoming less of a haz ard to life and health as a result of medical discoveries, of new and new advances in engineering. Single-room air conditioning units are now commonplace and the. promise is made by heating engi neers that year-around heating cooling units, run by nuclear pow er, may be available for private temperature controlling devices, homes in less than a decade. Note of Thanks I take this opportunity to thank my friends and neighbors for the many cards and flowers they sent me while I was in the hospital and since I’ve been at home. Also the visitors I’ve had, they helped so much and will always be remem bered. Mrs. Max Perry, Jr. WORLD FAMOUS WARNER’S *Bras 'Girdles *Corselettes Alma Kannon, Corsetiere
