Resist Impulse To
Swat At A Bee
"Reuse that natural impulse to
swat at a beer, hornet or other in
sect that flies into your car while
you are hdin (along the highway,"
Ronald Hocutt, director of the High
way Safety Division, cautioned North
Carolina motorists this week
Hocutt's warning arose from an
accident last week in which a wo
ma nwas severely injured and sev
eral members of the family bruised
and shaken up when her husband,
who was driving, tried to swat at a
bee which flew into the car.
"I realize that the driver, under
such conditions, is seized with an
almost irrealstable impulse to swat
and swing at the pesky insect," Ho
cutt said, "but this impulse must be
^ checked and the attack on the insect
' s ithheld until the car can be brought
to a complete stop. When you try
to watch an insect's dizzy gyrations
and attempt to kill him while your
car is in motion, you stand a better
chance of killing yourself than of
killing the insect."
The safety director cited another
case wherein a woman was driving
along when a bee flew in and dung
her on the cheek. She slapped at
it and knocked it to the floor, and
then looked down to see where she
could finish the job with her fict.
As her glance was on the floor, she
steered unconsciously to the left,
crashing headlong into another car
The moral, Hocutt said, is: "Stop
before you swat."
A. E. Smith Sells
Pigs To Chicago
Mail Order Firm
A. E. Smith Company today
Announced the sale two weeks
ago of 24 prise sow gilts to a
branch of a mall order house in
Greensboro. Closed through El
lis Vestal, extension swine spec
ialist, the transaction concerned
approximately 1900 pounds of
hogs, an average of close to 70
pounds per pig.
The pigs were purchased by
the mail order house as a gift to
Four-H Clubs in five counties in
the vicinity of Greensboro.
Youngsters are to be given pigs
with the understanding that they
raise them carefully and next
year donate them in turn to some
other club member, who will
be given a similar opportunity
to study pig raising.
The pigs, all of which are duly
registered and of the finest
stock, brought $12.50 apiece,
which according to Mr. Smith,
is just about I5.M off what they
should be.
And it is about the first time
that a sale has been made by lo
cal people to a mail order out
fit
A process has been perfected
whereby over-ripe and cull straw
berries can be converted into a pal
atable table syrup, with some of this
product already for sale on the mar
ket.

Advantages That

a
That Williams ton and thia immed
iate section offer marked advantages
to manufacture is borne out in the
movement of industry from the
North during recent months. At
tracted by cheap industrial power
rates and an unlimited source of elec
tric power, transportation facilities
by water, rail and highway, ideal
climatic conditions and a willingness
to cooperate on the part of labor, in
dustrial leaders look upon this com
munity as an attractive site for man
[ ufacturing on a large scale.
Just a few years ago, the North
[Carolina Pulp Company made a
I thorough study of conditions over a
wide area and its officials were con
vinced that this section offered the
most advantages.
During the early part of this year,
officials of the Goldman Package
Manufacturing Company after an
extensive survey of possible sites in
this and several other Southern
states located its large plant on Wil
liamston s East Main Street, near
the Roanoke River.
Forming a hub at WiUiamston, a
modern highway system offers u
splendid distribution setup which
is enhanced by rail and water trans
portation faciliites. Climatic condi
tions are favorable to year-around
operations, and there is a w illingness
on the part of labor to work and co
operate with industry. The trans
mission lines of the Virginia Elec
tric and Power Company make
available an unlimited supply of
power at low rates and upon immed
iate demand. Public officials have
and will continue to show a coop
oiative attitude, and the community
life is inviting to those who would
share the ideal life found only in the
comparatively small but progressive
and wide-awake town.
, TJt* new enterprise in coming to
Williamston asked no concessions in
the way of tax exemptions, a free
site or special privileges. "We are
coming to Williamston because we
recognize it to be a thriving and
wide-awake town ideally located and
suitable for our business," an offi
cial was quoted as saying. "We come
with the pledge to do our bit in pro
moting the interest of the town and
its people, and merely ask Un
friendly cooperation of everyone"

>f Germany and Italy lies behind

It is widely held that at least five
onsiderations are influencing the
present anti-democratic agitation bv
upan They arc
1. Pressure by Germany and Italy
?n Japan to seize this opportunity
or embarrassing the United States
ind Great Britain in the Far East
2. Apprehension in Japan over Am
man plans to increase its battle

3. Belief that now or never is the

Many Farms Need
Better Drainage
o
Poorly-drained fields, now a li
ability to many North Carolina far
mers, could be changed into profit-1
makers if proper drainage systems
were installed, says H. M. Ellis, agri
cultural engineer of the State Col
lege Extension Service,
Land drainage is a major problem
with the average farmer of the
Coastal Plain area of the State. Also
in practically all of the Piedmont
counties and in many of the moun
tain counties, there are considerable
acreages that are not yielding full
returns in harvest and money be
cause of inadequate drainage
Ellis explained that drainage is
the removal of surplus water from
the soil, either naturally or by chan
nels artifically constructed. Surplus
water is the excess above that need
ed from day to day for the use of
plants and that stored in the lower
layer of the earth as a reserve sup
ply during dry periods.
For practically all crops grown in
this State, it is necessary to have a
quick drainage, Ellis pointed out.

"Stamped" Motors
To Speed Output
Oakland, Calif.?The development
of a new type airplane motor, stamp
ed out of sheet metal and capable
of being turned out "with the speed
of a tin can" was reported here by
its inventor, an Oakland mechanic.
The new engine, which if proved
practical, might be the answer to
the problem of mass product!* n of
military plane motors, was develop
ed by Lloyd M. Taylor, truck fac
tory mechanic. His co-worker was
George A. Selig, another mcihjni ?
Mr. Taylor explained his new en
gine is stamped from a sheet o' met
al and the twelve cylinders troin
long stool tubes. The stamped por
tions are assembled in a jig, points
"painted" with a special flux and
the motor is then "baked together"
in an electric oven
