Every North Carolina farmer knows that , housewives (.who spend the money ) are demanding more meat and less fat for their pork dollars. But many of these same farmers think raising , meat type hogs Is too expansive. , About ' the only . ertr expense involved, according to Jack Kelley, in charge of animal husbandry tor -the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, is the cost of the boar. And the farmer""can even get this iback through feed- savings and bet ter prices received from companies who Jiuy on a . value" kasis.

Corn Harvesting Season Is Time When Carelessness Cost Farmers Hands, Arms, Cor harvesting time is here and an Increasing percentage of the crop is being harvested by mechanical harvesters. Most every year, two or three individuals in this area loose a hand and or arm in accidents associated with corn pickers. It is because this great loss can never be ; eplaced that prompts this reminde.-. At best, the most efficient artificial prosthesis Is a very poor substitute for an arm or hand. Physicians who treat victims of Sich accidents say that the repeat ed cause for them runs about as follows: The oparator is usually gloved (which gives a false sense of scb urity apparently.) In order to save time ' when the machine becomes jammed by too npuch corn, the op erator uses his hand to unjam it without first cutting the machine off ( which is marked on the mach ine) - then the machine catches the glove tip, then pulls the band into the jaw-like teeth. TJhe result are complete distruction of the bone, muscles, skin and joints with irreparable damage The combined time saved by all those who have failed to cut the machine off and Greater Than '58 stock; Tractors; Motor vehicles; and all other personal property, an increase of $1,193,573.

While time is important to far mers as well as to people in other ocup-Jtions it is very Snpirtant to be sure that short cuts to save time will actually save time and not re sult in crippling accidents. When short, cuts are used to save time be sure they are more than worth the risk involved. Local physicians ar anxious to see as many of these accidents pre vented as is humanly possible, and assisted in preparing this reminder in hope that it' would help reduce corn harvesting accidents. 3 Blue Ribbons Won District Dairy Show The Southeastern District Jun ior Dairy Cattle Show was held last Thursday and Friday at Faye ttevillc, North Carolina with 68 animals exhibited.

Coach Bill Taylor's eleven marched seventy-three yards on a rain-soaked field the first time they had the ball to pay dirt . . . Hnlf '.'nek Hubert "Pepsi" Mor ritt raced to the outside and passed twentv-three yards to bie end Colin Quinn to the eight and I Quinn all alone went over for the j score. Merntt added the tirsl of two extra points. All this took place before hte huge crowd could settle in the brand new seats. The Tigers second touchdown came only minutes later when James Kenan drove forty-eight yards to score. Quarterback Bill Straughan passed thirty-two yards to Merrit down to Pamli co's thirteen and three plays la ter Straughan sneaked over for the six points. Fullback Danny Batts, the workhorse of the Ti ger backfield, ran the extra point and James Kenan lead 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter the Tigers Allen Wahab recovered a punt deep in James Kenan territory and the Tigers turned it into their third TD with little David "Scooter" Benton scoring in four plaiys from one yard out. Merritt added the extra point and the score read 21-0. Coach Taylor and Helton ran the second unit most of the time throught the rest of the game. With about two minute left in the first half Pamlico's right halfback Bill Barker took a Ja mes Kenan punt on his own thirty-five and raced sixty-five yards to score the Hurricanes lone to uchdown Fullback Charles Heat1! added the one pointer and James Kenan lead at the half 21-7. In the opening minutes of the third period the Tigers march ed ninety - three yards to paiy I dirt with Fullback Batts going! over for the score from the three. Merritt's try for the point was a little low and the Tigers lead ' 27-7. Most of the third quarter, ! the huge crowd watched the se- ' cond unit in action as Taylor substituted freely. Late in the third quarter Pamlico fumbled ' deep in Tiger territory and big . Virgil Lanier recovered and on the first play Fullback Batts; went over for James Kenan. ' Batts ran over for the extra point j and James Kenan lead 34-7. j In the final quarter the Tigers drove sixty - eight yards down to the one before Batts fumbled and Pamlico recovered but the score was in the books 34-7. The statistics from the game really showed the Tiger defense as they allowed Pamlico only 1 first down by passing, and this late in the third quarter and 1 first down by rwshing for a to tal of only two first downs. Pam lico completed 4 of 10 passing at tempts for a net of only 42 yards and they had 1 pass intercepted and they had a net of 72 yards by rushing for a total gain of only 114 yards all night. The booming offense of the Tigers on the other hand made a total of 17 first downs with completion of three of four passes for 66 yards and 1 pass a 31 yard scoring play and James Kenan had a total of 413 yards by rushing to total for the night 470 yards on of fense. Walker McNeil was the out standing player oa defense for the Tigers but Virgil Lanier and Bobby Best commanded atten tion. McNeil, who plays left guard for the Tigers topped his defensive performance for the night by reaching up in the line and intercepting a Pamlico pass which set up one of the Tiger scores. Ihe offense for James Kenan was led by a ball of fire at fullback named Danny Batts as he ran for a net of 143 yards in 28 trys for a five yard average and I might add Denny made nine first downs, scored twice and ran over two extra points to have a big night ton himself. It may seem unfair to men tion some without others but that's the way the ban goes , . . I would like to say here and now that the whole team did a fine job from, the coaching staff right down to thelast man. v The big question now rests oyer at Massey Hill this .Coming Friday night yyr - Thie 1 what the coaches' face this week and Fridy night with Massey Hill a Class AAA school. Wita injuries to McNeil, Quinn, Joe Coslr 1 1 ' Danny Batts Vcrkhrr.-..c cf the James Kenan backficia against Pamico: Full back iamiy Batts rolled up 143 yads in 'ii trys for a five yard average and scored 14 points as the Tigers swamped Pamlico team 34-7, last Friday night in a Non-corrference ga ne. James Kenan travels to Kayetteville Friday night to take on Class AAA Massey Hill. Benton, and Cavena :gh Coach Taylor has moved Merritt over behind Straughan at quarterback and nursing ankles and hands. The team seems to be clicking some better but as Coach Tay lor put it, "if these boys with in juries don't, come around we may look real shaky again.it the str ong AAA school." He went on to say that "Shannon Brown may start on defense but don't bet on it." Massey Hill will be a dif ferent matter all together from the Pamlico County team even though the local fans did not eot pect such an easy victory over a team of AA caliber and they were tplimistic about having a good team this year in the East Central Class A conference Su olv though even the most ra bid fan of the James Kenan Ti gers does not expect them to go into Massey Hill's own park and come away with a big vic tory and especially since James Kenan is supposed to be so out classed by the AAA Massey HiH team. Massey Hill has been a con tender for the State title in AA football for the pa : several years and now been moved up to AAA by the new rating system so a Class A team such as Jarr.es Ke nan should and vi!' bo outclas sed but let me remind you of one thins . . . don't sell those Tigers short . . . WALLACE - ROSE HILL DEFEATS BEULAVILLE 24-0 Coach Ervia Dobson's Beula ville Panthers fumbled away a real good chance last Friday ni ght to slow down the Bulldogs of Wallace-Rose Hill despite bad wet weather. As a result of the fumbles the Panthers went down in defeat in their opener 24-0 to the Class AA school .The heart breaking part of it all the Pan thers fumbled five times the first six times they had the ball. It was also the first game of the season for Coach Thell Over man's Bulldogs. Coach Dobson's eleven stood up well to the Bull dog attack and played much bet ter ball than the score indicates. Good coaching was very much in evidence and both teams sho wed good clean play even on a very wet field.
