Drivers Should
Use Arm Signals
?
"Every driver in North Carolina
it auppoaed to know the various arm
signals and their meanings, yet
hardly a day goes by but that an ac
cident occurs somewhere in the
state as a result of some driver dis
regarding a signal, (ailing to give a
signal, or giving a wrong signal."
In connection with the above
statement, Ronald Hocutt. director
of the Highway Safety Division, re
ported this week that 180 accidents
in North Carolina last year as a re
sult of drivers failing to give a sig
nal before coming to a stop or mak
ing a turn. Another 341 accidents.
23 of which were fatal, resulted from
disregard of signals.
"Entirely too many North Caro
lina drivers take the attitude that
arm signals are unimportant," Ho
cutt said. "The average driver gen
erally gives no signal at all, or gives
the wrong signal, before stopping
or turning. And some drivers seem
to think that they have given an
adequate signal if they simply flut
ter their hand out the window of
the car. Others stick their hands out
and down regardless of whether they
plan to make a left turn, make a
right turn, or come to a stop."
"Remember," the safety director
cautiohed, "the driver behind you
and the one approaching you are not
mind readers. The purpose of arm
signals is to let the other fellow know
what you are about to do. Courtesy,
caution and common sense demand
that you give signals?the proper
signals?and that you pay attention
to the signals given by the other
driver. And if you do give proper
signals when driving, be sure that
you give them in ample time for
the other fallow to act upon them.
Giving a signal too late is virtually
as bad as giving no signal at all."

3 New Publications
Ready For Farmers
Three new publications of interest
to farm people have been prepared
by the State College Extension Serv
ice and are available to citieena of
North Carolina free for the asking.
Two are Extension Circulars and the
other is an extension pamphlet, as
follows:
Extension Circular No. 241, "The
Use of Disinfectants in Poultry Pro
duction," written hy Prof. R.
Dearstyne. H. C. Gauger and R. K.
Greaves of the college poultry de
partment.
Extension Circular No. 242. "Grow
ing Small drains in the Coastal
Plain," , by E. C. Blair, extension
agronomist;
Extension Miscellaneous Pam
phlet No. 42. "Making a Cotton Mat
tress," by Miss Pauline E. Gordon,
extension home management spec
ialist, and Miss Willie N Hunter, ex
tension clothing specialist.
Any or all of these publications
will be mailed free, postpaid, to
persona writing to the Agricultur
al Editor at State College, Raleigh.
A full discussion of germicidal
substances in the prevention and
control of poultry diseases and para
site infestations is contained in the
Circular No. 241. The poultrjrmen
recommended, however, that sun
light, burning and boiling are the
most satisfactory disinfectants when
they can be used conveniently.
The small grain publication points
out that oata, wheat, rye, and bar
ley usually make better yields in the
Coastal Plains than on comparable
soils in the Piedmont and Mountain
sections.
The mattress-making pamphlet is
expected to be of value in the proj
ect for low income families which
the Extension Service is directing
in every county in the State, In co
operation with otner agricultural
afid welfare agencies.

Pine Needle Mulch
Aids Reforestation
Mulching with pine needles, or
pine straw, to preserve moisture and
hold the soil is familiar in many
parts of North Carolina, but this
practice will serve another purpose,
says W. D. Lee, Extension soil con
servationist of N. C. State College.
A pine needle mulch will stimu
late reforestation of eroded and de
nuded area, he stated. This has been
proven conclusively in tests, and
acores of farmers have reported a
growth of pine trees in areas where
they have covered ditch banks or
idle fields with pine straw
Lee said that the Southern Pied
mont Soil Conservation Experment
Station, at Athens. Ga., conducted
tests to demonstrate this rr^thoH nf
reforesting old fix'Ids or clay gall
areas.
"Seeking an economical way of
seeding eroded areas, the station
mulched four clay-galled plots with
800 pounds of pine needle litter from
adjacent woods. In fine months, a
Wealthy vegetation developed, in
cluding more than 1,600 shortleaf
seedlings?an average of two seed
lings from each pound of mulch.
"The study will observe for sev
eral years the survival and height
growth of the seedlings resulting
from this simple and inexpensive
scattering ?jf ptne rrredie litter over
the bare area to a depth of about
one inch.
"If only one-fourth of the existing
seedlings live for five years, the
area will be well planted," Lee de
-? ?
ciai cur ?
In conclusion, he suggested that
North Carolina farmers: try this
method of controlling erosion, one
of the major agricultural problems
of the State.
Defpnsp Prngmm
Creates More Jobs
One of the biggest opportunities in
year* exists for men that have had
difficulty getting steady or remun
erative work in industry because
they lacked a trade. A tremendous
"bottleneck" is looming in the na
tional defenae program because of
a tack of skilled workers. Those wl
are employed are said to be making
$40, $50 and in some cases as high
as $75 a week. And it's going to take
some time before the scarcity in tool
and die makers, all around machin
ists, molders, boring machine opera
tors, welders and operators of spec
ial machine tools, is overcome in
the opinion of the National Indus
trial Conference Board.
Several promising plans are afoot
for filling the gaps in skilled labor.
Almost eveiy city uf any site Is 6p
erating the machine shops in its tech
nical high schools through the sum
mer, some of them even at night. In
dustry itself it giving quick train
ing courses, as is the Civilian Con
servation Corps, and the National
Youth Administration Certainly it
ought to be no trick at all for a
young "fellow of average intelligence
today to find a good niche for him
self in life by taking advantage of
current opportunities to learn a skill
ed occupation.

Synthetics Being
Used As Substitutes
National defense is still a key
topic of conversation in business cir
cles. One of the latest observations
is that the $400,000,000 synthetics and
plastics industry is getting another
big "lift" from the current drive for
self sufficiency in certain basic raw
materials. Synthetics got their first
real boost a decade ago when house
wives first flocked to the stofes to
buy synthetic cutlery, tableware,
shower curtains and hundreds of
other products.
The language of synthetics?whose
ABC's embrace such words as amer
ipol, bakelite, cellophane, catalin,
koroseal, lucite, nylon and tenite is
fast becoming the language of $e
curity. Nylon, the newly developed
synthetic yam ti>r women's hosiery
is now being tested by the army as
a substitute for silk in parachutes;
koroaeal-treated materials excel for
protective wearing apparel and resist
mustard gas penetration; and cellu
lose acetate can be used for gun
stocks, as well as toothbrushes. All
in all, more than 500 military appli
cations. ranging from gas masks to
ammunition chutes, are reported for
synthetics first adopted by the U- S
housewife.
