I Preparing Young Men and Women Physically For Universal Service Raleigh, June 27.?The importance of immediately preparing young men and women physically for universal j service, through means at the dispos al of governmental and cooperating State and local units, was emphasised by Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, State Health Officer, in a statement issued recent ly. He urged that no time be lost in J preventing the preventable, protect ing the protectable and curing the I curable, in order that American youth I when it goes into, centers of train ing, will not be inviting endemics or epidemics in these centers, but will be fortified against these risks. Dr. Reynolds said: "Today, I saw nine billions of dol lars being appropriated for the na tional defense. "Today, I saw plans in the making for universal training. "Today, and tomorrow, we need the man and the woman who is sound in mind and body, to guide, direct and operate our preparedness program. ' Delay means waste of both time I and opportunity. Procrastination ip the thief of time whose loot is never recovered. \ I "Man's physical fitness is essential in war or peace?it is, an integral part of preparedness. "Today, we need the means to take advantage of the protection that already is at hand. It is essential and should be forthcoming?on a well balanced budgetary basis. Monies thus wisely made available will not only brook immediate needs but will result in an educational program that will not become obsolete?but endure Prodigal spending is to be deplored, but it is wise to be generous in ex penditures that profit us most. "Medical science and research have made available a vast amount of ma terial we are not using as advantage ously as we should in our preparation (for life's work, either in times of peace or in preparation for war. "Today, I saw a horse?sound and sleek?manufacturing anti-bodies, to ! immunize against the ravages of disease. "Six days hence, this horse will act as a donor, giving up a known quani Ity of blood to save the life of dear, dying mam V'Today, I saw a calf that had man ufactured protective agents for the welfare of man?a rabbit and a guinea pig doing the same thing. "What- science has provided, let us take?without hesitation, which spells loss!". . Boll Weevil Control Outlined In Bulletin This is a tough year on the boll weevil. The cold weather of the winter just past froze out the main army of this No. 1 insect enemy of the Agricultural South, and now far mers have found an effective weapon j with which to combat the hardy Iweevils that survived' the freezes. These weakons ? the new pre | square mopping and dusting treat ment, and the established post-square {poisoning methods?are outlined * in detail in a new publication of the State College Extension Service. It {is Extension Folder No. 46, entitled "Boll Weevil Control." Any fanner of the State may re ceive a copy of the-folder free upon {request to the Agricultural Editor at N. C. State College, BaMgiu Coun ty farm agents of the Extension Ser I vice also have supplies of the publi cation in their offices at the county [heats. J. 0. Rowell, Extension entomolo giat, is author of the new boll weevil control bulletin. In it, he gives full Information on ,the 1-1-1 mopping treatment, which has proved very ef fective in South Carolina jM, oth* States, and which was used success fully by a number,of North, Carolina growers on-Sto experimental basis last year. iSSrStSS at th* first signs ^?ion ot the cotton field. The pre^quare mopping treatment cailsjfor ? ?: ? ? ? ' ' - ^ t ? ?, t jgAfcree person|; are brought into t some county jail in North Carolina E every twenty minuttlLof the day and 0 night, making a total'of some 80,000 c a year. , In North Carolina there ie a. 1700 f average daily county jail population, j cared for at a cost of 66 cents a day, k or about 14,000,000 a year spent from t the county treasuries. c u In North Carolina there were jail- s ed 1231 children in 1936, all under 16 - years of age. The number lowered to 1070 in 1987; dropped to 883 in 1938 and last year was .down to 784. Since inception of the Public As sistance Program in North Carolina 26 counties have found it unnecea sary to provide an institution to care ofr needy aged. An average of 310.04 was paid to 85,227 old people who received a total of 6865,704 dur ing the month of February. Aid to dependent children came to 6137,987 which gave 21,808 children an average of. 66.33 for February 1946,-in North Carolina. Authorities in child care believe the boarding home to be the best type of foster home care. In North Caro-I Hna there are 80 licensed boarding' homes and there is a real need for several more. A. E. Langston, State Director of Commodity Distribution, stated that last year 843 schools were given com modities, in which 48,983 undernour ished pqblic school pupils were aided with surplus commodity lunches. He estimated'that before the close of the current school year about 1800 schools will have been certified, giv ing free lunches to approximately 148,000 undernourished children. "The home and family are the first thing of importance in growth, de velopment and education of children and a primary responsibility for the religious development of the child rests upon the parents." states Mrs. W. T. Bost, State Welfare Commis sioner. Farmers Organized In Defense Program Fanners of North Carolina are organized for. any emergency, says Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the State College Extension .Service. ?They are ready to meet any call for contributions to National defense in the form of food, feed and the ma terials for clothing. They have been preparing for such a call in recent years. They have experienced lead ership to do the job, he declared. Dr. Schaub said that the National Farm Program has enabled farmers to become better organized and more ready to work together than at any time in history. He also pointed out that, through the Agricultural Con servation Program, the fertility of' the soil has been built up to where the necessities of war could be pro duced in . greater quantities, with less time and expense. ?" ' ? ' "Oui; Extension organization was only three years old when the United States entered the first World War in 1917," Dr. Schaub continued. "Yet, 'with limited personnel and experi ence, the farm and home agents and subject matter specialists provided efficient leadership in that great crisis. Farm and home demontration work is now 26 years old, and we have an organization of trained agents, specialists and administra tors. Every county in the State is organized for Extension work. "Many of the farm and home agents, canning and clothing specia lists, and others who directed emer gency activities of rural people in 1917 and 1918, and again during the depression years, are still with the organization. They did their jobs efficiently then; they have the con fidence of the farm people, and are ready to lead again. "It will not be necessary to set up new services, or new organizations of farmers to carry on agriculture's part of the National defense pro gram." KILLED EN ROUTE TO HIS WEDDING Ogdensburg, N. Y. ?
