Cartoonists picture November and December as the critical time for the turkey who struts under the shadow of the upraised axe. It is also a criti cal time for turkey growers and tur key breeders, says C. F Parrish, ex tension poultry specialist at State ] College If the grower expects to save his own hatching eggs for incubation, and this is the wisest practice where good birds are kept, then marketing time is also selection time, Parrish declared. The flock should be culled carefully to keep the very best of the hen turkeys for the breeding flock and perhaps a few choice toms for mating with these, or for exchange. The extension poultryman advised | turkey growers to weigh the qual ity of their flock carefully before deciding whether to buy hatching eggs or to raise them from the old flock "The safest way of introduc ing new blood into the flock is through eggs from a reliable breed er whose flock is healthy and vig orous," he said. "The next safest way is to buy poults and keep them separated for a time to allow any disease to make itself evident. Buy ing mature birds adds some risk of introducing disease or parasites." Turkeys held over for breeding purposes should be handled under a slightly different system from birds fattened for sale, Parrish stated. He recommends a good standard grow ing mash and a mixed scratch grain containing not more than one-third ! corn. The mash should be well bal anced. About four weeks before egg pro duction usually starts, the birds se lected as breeders should go on an even richer breeder diet, a mash that contains more vitamins, more min eral and more protein than the grow ing diet, and with grain limited to one-fifth pound a day for each bird.

G T. | Hill, local minister last Saturday. Hill, painter, teacher and preach er, has been holding services at the prison camp under the auspices of the Presbyterian church for the past seven years. Rain or shine, cold or warm weather, the services have been held each Sunday and Hill stat ed yesterday that several, during this period of seven years, have been baptized and started life over again. Occasionally, Rev. Z. T. Piephoff | assists in conducting the services. Small Shops Receive War Supply Orders Manufacturers with small shops in the less heavily industrialized sections of the country may stand a better chance of receiving orders from the Allies for war materials than larger manufactuers, some ob servers here believe. It is pointed out that small companies can more readily convert their plants to war production and concentrate atten tion on special orders. The possibil ity of British loans for plant expan sions is foreseen, by means of large advance payments accompanying in itial orders. The British Embassy last week announced creation of a central organization to coordinate Great Britain's purchases in the United States and Canada, indicat ing that the time is fast approach ing when substantial orders for food and materials will be placed. Was Business Visitor Here Mr. Lawrence Gold, of Rocky Mount, was a business visitor here yesterday. SWINDLER Claiming to be a representa tive of the State Board of Health, a false prophet is reported to be operating in this section. The man was reported recently to have approached pellagra vic tims, guaranteeing them a cure for $225. The terms of the con tract called for a $25 down pay ment and $200 upon the victim's entrance to a hospital. County health authorities are issuing a warning against the self-styled agent, and as far as it could be learned no one has fallen victim to the scheme in this county. Deaths Charged To the Increase Of Drunken Drivers Raleigh ? Drunken driving has caused nearly twice as many deaths so far this year as in the correspond ing months of 1938, Ronald Hocutt. director of the Highway Safety Di vision has just pointed out in fig ures showing that 71 deaths are di rectly chargeable to drunken drivers during the first nine months of 1939 as against only 37 during the first three-quarters of 1938. He pointed out that the state law now prescribes very stringent pen alties in the way of revocation of li cense; but predicted that "an arous ed public opinion" will demand even more severe penalties unless there is a distinct and immediate improve ment in the state's record. "The drunken driver deserves no consideration whatever." Director Hocutt said very emphatically. "Pos sible victims must be protected and the drunken driver must be stamp ed out." To cause death and destruction the driver need not be "down" or "dog" drunk, either, according to the safe ty director. "We are finding out through study," he said, "that the person with one or two drinks sometimes is as great a menace as the thoroughly drunken driver." Cooperation of every right-minded citizen in stamping out this menace is necessary, Hocutt addi'd National Journal Harriett Article lly I .oral Stmlenl The November issue of the Na tional Beta Club Journal carries an ' article "Knowing People," written by James Daniel Nicholson, local high school senior. Young Nicholson submitted the article last spring and was quite sur prised when informed that his con*' position hud been accepted. The honor carries with it a prize of one dollar which was awarded at yes terday's assembly by Mrs Edwards, Beta club adviser.
