May Favor 48-Hour Labor Week In N.C. Members of the North Carolina Fair Labor Standards Commission have had exactly nothing to say about the impressions made upon them by a two-day hearing recently but there are some indications that they are likely to recommend to the 1941 general assembly a state wage and hour law setting a maximum week of 48 hours and a minimum wage rate of 25 cents an hour In view of the very discreet si-| lence preserved on all sides, this is a completely unofficial forecast without even a scintilla of "inside" from any member of thi com mis sion It is known, however, that con servative members of the Federal wage and hour division in the Caro lmas have suggested the 48-25 bill as meeting the present needs of the State and of putting most of the now unrestricted intra-state indus ries on a scale approaching parity with those under the Federal act It is certain, too, that Commission er of Labor Forrest H Shuford. chairman of the commission, favors some sort of wage and hour law for ?the state (probably he would go be yond the 48-25 limit if it were left to him alone). The other members of the com mission (Senator Pat Taylor of An son. Representative Hugh Horton of this county, and Henry Dobson of Surrv. Editor Capus Waynick. of High Point) have not committed themselves in the slightest, but from hearings and from their political backgrounds, it is a fair deduction that they are not so ultra-conserva tive as to reject m^toto all sugges tions for a wage and hour statute Publication Tells How To (]an Meats Pork chops, sausage. spa:e ribs and backbone Fried chicken, corn ed beef, fish and pickled pig's feet Methods for canning all these meat delicacies are described in a new Extension Folder (No 48) which has been published by the State Col lege Extension Service Mrs. Cor nelia C Morris, extension econom ist in food conservation and mar keting. prepared the text. The pub lication is entitled Canning Meats" and it is available free upon request by name and number to the Agri cultural Edtior. N C State College. Raleigh Mrs Morris says pressure canners should be used in canning meats "Other methods are not safe." she declared "pressure canners are made of strong material with a tightly-fitting lid. which. when the extension specialist recommends for canning meats include: Good jars, new rubber rings, dish pans, a frying pan. shallow pans, measuring cup. sharp knives and a meat fork. She also suggests that a good sup ply of clean dish towels, soap, salt, hatches and hot and cold water be available One of the points stressed in the folder is: If meat is to be cooked be fore it is canned, it should not be more than half done. There are sev eral ways to cook the meat. It can be browned quickly in a small amount of hot, fat in a frying pan; it can be roasted in the oven; or it can be stewed or boiled Salt should not be added to the meat until it is packed into the jars. Winter Weight F eed Needed By Livestock Wis? motorists change to wint< weight oil in the automobiles wh cold weather arrives Wise livesto raisers change to "winter weight" i tions in their (ceding program w the first cold wave, says Prof. E. Hostetler, professor of animal hi bandry at N. C. State College "In the range country." the ai mal husbandman stated, "thousan of cattle have always Irad to c pend upon range the year 'round, a result death losses are heavy a the ill effects of under-nutrition s usually clearly revealed in thi poor condition and small size Ci tonseed cake is used rather cxte sively as a supplement to winl range by wise cattlemen." Prof Hostetler says that Not Carolina livestock raisers can ta a tip from the Great Plains regi and feed protein supplements. ] points out that Southern cott fields supply the essential proU that enables cattle raisers to sect maximum results from dry ran grass and reeds, to maintain bree ing herds in good condition, and prevent coatly losses of weight d deaths of animals during win! months v "Breeding cows on the range c be wintered in thrifty condition a dally ration of 1 to 2 pounds cottonseed cake per head, except severe weather when 2 to 3 pour are needed," the State College pi fee sol declared.

Martin factory there, this high performance dealer of destruction soon will be rolling off the production lines. _ Parliament Cloisters Bombed Here is a view of the damage caused when a German fire-and-explosive bomb struck Britain's historic Parliament building in London within a few yards of the House of Commons chamber. The blast wrecked the 600-years-old St. Stephen's Cloisters and did other extensive damage. Parliamentary staff members were in shelters and no casualties were reported. Fires were extinguished within half an hour. No Definite Dale For Starting The New Yearln^orhl New Year's Day does not come everywhere on January 1. Among the Chinese it varies accord iojt lu their lunar calendar, falling be tween January 10 and February 19. The Jews begin their year with thi first of the month of Tishri. which corresponds roughly to our Septem ber. The ancient Egyptians. Phoeni cians and Persians began the year at the autumnal equinox. September 22 The Greeks Jt the time of Solon held the new year festival at the winter solstice. December 21. hut in the time of Pericles. 432 H C . they changed the date to the sum mer solstice. June 21. The Romans dated the beginning of the year also from the winter solstice, until the time of Julius Caesar, when the cal endar changed, it to the first of Jan uary. In England. December 25th was New Year's day until the time of William the Conqueror, who chang ed it to his coronation day, January 1. Later the English, like the rest of Christendom, began the year in March. The Gregorian calendar, which in 1752 displaced the Julian in Great Britain and the English col onies of America, restored January 1 as "the gateway of the year." " Many customs cluster about the opening of the year. The custom of exchanging presents is fairly com mon. There is also the making of New Year's Day calls, inherited from the early Dutch in America. Per haps the widest and best loved cus tom is the ringing of bells to express the joyous entrance into a time of new beginnings With it accords the usual exchange of greetings and good wishes irv which friends may help each other with cheer and courage for brighter times.
