A. meeting in Wallace on Thursday, the Classroom Teacher Association of Duplin met. Mrs. James Ward of Rose Hill, president of the Associa tion presided. For the program, Mrs. Ward pre sented the Foreign exchange stu dents who are Wailing in Duplin three girls and one boy. The girls rendered several selections nf their native songs and told of their na tive countries. The story of -.he group follows: Four South American students ar rived in Rose Hill and Wallace the first of January. All four are par ticipants in the American Youth Echange which is an exchange pro gram whereby South American you th visit the United States and vice versa. During their stay here, the youths have become a part of the families which they are staying. Although no credit will be given, they will at tend classes with their "brothers and sisters'". The four students are here on a summer vacation. The seasons in the southern hem isphere are opposite those in the northern hemisphere. Rafeal Heckler, a 16 year-old boy from Lima, Peru, was the first to arrive. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kram er are his American "parents" Na talie Kramer, senior at Wallace Rose Hill School, is his "sister". Ximena Velasque, a 14 year-old girl from Santigo, Chili, is staying with Mr. and Mrs. Felton Rackley and Ann, a student at Wallace-Rose Hill High School. Haydee Fernandez, a 16 year-old also from Santiago, is staying with Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Price and Ann. who is a student at Wallace-Rose Hill High. Mr. and Mrs. James Ward and Nancy are the new "parents" and "sister", respectively, of Paricia Mosca, also from Santiago. Room and board, laundry and other expenses are being paid by the hosts while transportation and clothing were furnished by the you ths' own families. The youth's are here for a stay of ten weess. The local "sisters" will have the opportunity to study and visit in South America for ten weeks next summer. Garden Time tf By M. E. Gardner N. C. State College A lady writes from Burlington and makes this request: "Please advise if it has been proven that mercury lamps used for yard light ing could affect plants. We have not the usual luck in our greenhouse since the lamp was put up." The yard light she mentions can very definitely affect plants grow ing In her greenhouse All plants 'are sensitive to light, some being more sensitive than others. We refer to : his as photoperiod or day length, had the usual luck in our green house since the lamp was put up. The additional light from the yard lamp has increased the day length, or number of light hours, and most likely has kept the plants too vegetative thus preventing pro per flowering. fr: ? ? ? ,7y , . ; ?

KEEP FIRE IN FIRE PLACE If you have a fireplace, keep your home firesafe by placing a screen in front of it when, in use. i And never, never leave children alone in the house, no matter whether there is a fire in the fireplace or not, says th National Board of Fire Underwriters. Fire deaths in the United States during 1961 totaled approximately 11,700, and deaths were higher among children under 14 years of aa> and elderly persons of 65 and over. By regulating tne ngnt ana tem perature m our greenfinuqea, we arc able to time the blooming dates of such crops as poinsetiias; Chrysan themums, azaleas and others We anticipated this problem when lights were installed on our campus near our greenhouses. We solved the problem by placing metal shad es around the rim of the lights so that our houses are protected. Several weeks ago I gave you a list of small fruited tomato varieties that you might wish to try in your garueu ih's summer fbr paste, sa lads, and pickles - Rod Cherry (large and small>. Red Rear, Yel low Pear and Yellow Plum. This week I ran across another variety rWioSir is 'unuiuat - San Mafzano. San Marzano is rectangular-shap M, aPout 3'4 inches long and about ' 1 '4 inches across. It is reported to be productive and to have a very intense red color, making it especi ally suitable foi* puree and tomato paste. The weather has been a choic conversation piece all winter. T" the vernacular, "we have had it". ' The oil tanker has spent a good por tion of time in my driveway rot to mention a couple of cords of wood | in the fireplace. I have just read an 'oteresHn?? ar . ticle on "The Weather Pattern", J by a noted meteorologist in which | he predicted, last fall, that, "due to high altitude nuclear blasts in space, cold air masses would pene | trate father south throu"hout the I Northern Hemisphere this wiper This prediction, as we know, came true. Dr. Krich's explanation of th cold air disturbances is not, how ever, in agreement with the think ing of the U. S. Weather Bureau meteorologists. They say that they need more proof. - . Be that as it may, it would pro bably be wise for us to spend morr planning for health and happiness at the lower iuu^oes where we live. There is lots of unconquered. space down here. Disinfect Your Blankets Dangerous winter disease .germs are often trapped in woolen blankets. Increased in door living means more chance that germs carrying flu, sore throats or other illnesses will be spread by coughs, sneezes and by blowing the nose. Woolen blankets commonly harbor these germs because the low-temperature washing rec ommended for wool fibers is not hot enough to disinfect them. They should be pre soaked in a disinfectant solu tion made with tablespoons of Lysol Brand to a gallon of water. This procedure will kill common-disease germs without harm to the blanket. WILLIAM W. SISK GRAFEWOHR, GERMANY-Army Serjeant William W. Sisk, son of Mrs. Helen C. Sisk, Beulaville, N. C., recently took part in his unit's phase of annual winter traning with other members of the 4th Armored Division at Grafenwohr, Germary. The training tested the unit's combat readiness and included problems in night fighting, commu nicptidn, nuclear and special .war fare. The sergeant, a forward observer in Headquarters Company cf the division's 37th Armor, entered the Army in April 1959 and arrived overseas on this tour of duty in ' September 1962. 1 . ? Pre-Sprouting Sweet Potatoes Can Mean Savings To Farmers Tar Heel sweet potato growers are missing savings of s$40-$S0 per acre if they are neglecting the pi^sprou ting practice. 1 Farmers can save this amount b< pre-spouting the seed stock in stor age just prior to bedding, according I to Henry J. Covirtgton, extensio' horticultural specialist at North | Carolina State College. "The process is inexpensive anf" ? simple," says Covington. "It ir, creases early sprout production anr' \ reduces the amount of seed stocl you must bed for plants." The idea t0 set the potatoes tr push out sprouts the longest of : which are one and one-half inches by the time the farmer is ready U bed thorn. Pre-sprouting is most beneficia' for slow, poor sprouting varietie such as Gold Rush, Nugget aw | Centennial. It takes ,30 days to these three. Porto Rico can be pre' sprouted in 21 days. "We have been recommending Z bushels of Gold Rush to product enough plants in two pullings to se an acre in the field. If you pre Isprout, you can reduce this to 1.' bushels, a 10 bushel saving pe. ! acre. This amounts to $40 to $50 a acre," Covington pointed out. The seed Stock should be givei ideal curing conditions for 30 day just prior to bedding. The ideal con ditions are 85 degrees F., and 9' per cent relatively humidity. Cbvington said that while mos curing facilities may not be tigh enough to maintain the ideal humid ity, this doesn't mean pre-sproutin; can't be dpn.e , It does mean that the process may take longer and the sprout pro auction may not be as great. The air where the potatoes arc being pre-sprouted must be kep' as moist as possible. The wall should be sprayed at least twic< daily and the floor should be wet i j it is soil or concrete. The humidity shouldn't be mail tained at 100 per cent nor shoul the surface of the potatoes be.kcj completely wet. These condition will produce white rootlets. After, pre-sprouting, the usual rc -ommended practices of seed treat ment and heddin" should be follow ed, according to Covington. He cautioned that the potatoe should be placed in the bed carefu' I ly with the roots situated so that th sprouts are as near straight up a practical.
