Williams, county agent, announced yester day. Twenty-six cows and heifers and three bulls will be offered for sale. Mr. Williams stated that this will be an opportunity for farmers to purchase some good registered cows, a part of which are fresh and will furnish good foundation stock for any herd. All of these cattle have been tested and are free from TB and Bang's disease, he said. If ny of the cattle fail to breed within three months after pur chase, they will be returned to the owner, and the purchase price will be refunded. Mr. Williams said he would be glad to accompany and assist any interested dairy men. The Wayne County Livestock Development association, 'the Wayne County Agricultural Exten sion service and the Goldsboro tnaiuDer of Commerce are also co sponsors of the sale. Creeks io Improve Commanicalion System ATHENS (AP), The Eco nomic Cooperation Administration (ECA) and the Greek government have drawn up plans to Improve and modernize Greece's telecom munication system. According to an agreement signed by Prime Mi nister Themlstocles Sophoulis and Joha Nuveei, Jr., ECA chief here, present telecommunications opera tions will be merged into a single anonymous company. . The companies affected are the internal telecommunications sys tem, operating under the Ministry of posts, telegraph and telephone, end the Hellenic Telephone com pany. ' Power Company; Subjects Gloves to Rigid Tests The big glove stood up like a monster's hand in a tank of water and some bubbles seeped to the furface. The dial on a meter over the tank wiggled crazily. "Throw 'em away," ordered C. L. Matthes, superintendent of the electric department. Tide Water Power company. "They're leak ing" The heavy gauntlet was yanked out of the tank. With its partner which had no defects it was tossed unceremoniously into a waste can . . . Seven dollars and fifty-cents worth of gloves discard ed because of a tiny leak Testing of nower linemen's Eloves in the meter and glove test ing department of Tide WatPr is nart of the company's daily rou tine. Every rubber glove the com pany owns is tested for leakage and inspected for cracks and phy sical defects before it is nut on by a lineman. A complete history of each glovp date of purchase, phy sical condition and test reports, is kept on file in the glove testing department. "It's a costly program," Mat thes admitted, "we discard at least 50 pairs a year. But lives come ahead of dollars." The cloves are subjected to three-minute tests. Placed in a tank of water with water inside and outside the glove they vir tually become "guinea pigs" for high voltage. The atmosphere is tense as an engineer pulls a lever. Trained attendants automatically back up. Lasuai observers can feel the ten sion. Through the water shoots 1 1 .50(1 volts of electricity . . . Enough to kill a man instantly in fact, enough to kill everyone in the room. A meter records the reaction of the gloves. If the meter records less than 10 miligrams of leakage, the gloves are approved. If the meter dial trembles above the ten milligram mark, the gloves are dis carded, regardless of their age. Hundreds of these gloves are being used almost daily by linemen operating in the territory covered by Tide Water, which lies along the Atlantic Coast between the Pamlico River and the South Caro lina border and inland for approxi mately 70 miles. Although they are tested to withstand 11.500 volts of electri city, Tide Water linemen rarely encounter wires carrying more than 4,000 volts and foremen are constantly on the alert to see that no linemen are assigned to jobs where the voltage exceeds 4,160 volts. This allows a safety margin of more than 8,000 volts. . For the "hot lines" or high tension- and transmission lines from generators to transformers, linemen use what is known in the utility business as "hot sticks," or wooden poles ranging from five to 20 feet in length. Tide Water linemen also are provided with heavy rubber "ground mats" which are used pri marily by meter installers and re pairmen who do most of their work on the ground. Rubber arm protectors, extending from the wrists to the shoulders, also are issued for use- when high winds are blowing. The maximum safety factor of these rubber gloves is difficult to estimate because the surrounding conditions at the time of contact have a lot to do with it. Some line men say they wouldn't hesitate to handle 15,000 volts with gloves on. Others set the maximum at ten. Matthes grins when he hears these estimates and has his own story to tell. "It was Sunday morning and I got an emergency call from the plant. We'd had a windstorm and it had ' disrupted service. One of the big switches at the plant was knocked out. - "I hurried down to the plant, put on some rubber gloves and in spected the switch.

CABTERET COUNTY Tenant Fanner Conserves Land COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh Even though he is a tenant and does not own the farm he operates, Maurice Kelly, young farmer of Reidsville, Route 4, is doing an ex cellent job of building up the land which he cultivates, according to Wayland J. Reams, assistant Rock ingham County afrm agent for the State College Extension Ser vice. Kelly has established two acres in meadow strips and seeded three acres in improved pasture. He plans to construct 1,000 feet of terraces next spring. A two-year crop rotation system has enabled him to build up his yields. Even with unfavorable weather this year, he produced 6, 116 pounds of tobacco on 4.4 acres' a yield of 1,390 pounds per acre. Averaging 63 cents per pound, the tobacco brought him a total return of $3,856, or $876.36 per' acre. Kelly grows the 401 variety and uses about 1,200 pounds of 396 fertilizer per acre. He rotates his tobacco land with wheat and oats, and does not use a legume in the rotation. By using crop rotation and other approved practices, the Rocking ham County farmer has jumped his corn y-.'lds from five to ten barrels per acre and increased his wheat yields from 18 to 25 bushels per acre, all within two years. He uses stable manure produced on the farm, broadcasting it lightly over his tobacco land early in the spring. "Mr. Kelly Is setting a good ex ample for other tenants," com mented Assistant Agent Reams. "If all tenants would improve the farms they are operating, the re sult would be greater income and a more prosperous country for all." Greeks Plan Reforestation, Soil Conservation Program ATHENS (AP) The Econo mic Cooperation administration (ECA) and the Greek government have drawn up an $800,000 refore station and mountain soil erosion control program to increase Greece's lumber supply. Almost 60 per cent of the total area of Greece is non-productive moun tainous land. Less than 20 per cent of this is forested. "In recent vears destruction has been more rapid than growth," American agriculturists say. Dur ing the Occupation 25 per cent of good forests were destroyed. The new nrogram calls for the planting of trees on the Greek mainland and islands, maintenance of tree nurseries, end the construction of forest roads. In addition, small masonry and wicker dams will be built in the beds of steep torrents. rious connections and made some minor adjustments. "Then I prepared to turn on the power. Imagine my astonishment when I discovered that the switch wire had been loaded a)l the time because of a short circuit. "My stomach did a nip-up and for the next two hours I felt shaky. I had been handling 20,000 volts and never knew it. Nobody can tell me those rubber gloves can't take it!" Tide Water has a staff of 10 in Morehead City. The division su perintendent is G. B.

MOREHEAD CITT AND Sucked Corn Produces Less, COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh "Don't be a sucker" is the moral of this little story. N. D. Griffin, Williamston, Route 1, has always believed that it pays to pull the suckers from corn. Be ing of the well-known Missouri type, he had to be shown different ly before he would change his mind. This summer, according to J. W. Sumner, assistant Martin County farm agent for the State College Extension Service, Mr. Griffin was persuadud to run a test. In a field of N. C. 27 hybrid, he suckered half the stalks and left the other half not suckered. His yield on the suckered area was 59.6 bushels per acre. On the nonuckered area the yield was 73.4 bushels per ecre. M; Griffin helped sucker the corn during the extremely hot weather of early summer. She laughingly commented that she had hoped the suckered area would produce better so that her haid work would not have been in Vain. Mr. Griffin also experimented with corn spacing in the row. In a field of Dixie 17 'hybrid, 16-inch spacing produced only 72 bushels per acre while 20-inch spacing pro duced 80.7 bushels. The dry wea ther during the summer was not favorable to the close spacing. German Convict Pulls Hollywood Murder Stunt BERLIN (AP) The Soviet controlled press here tells the story about a German convict who took a holiday from prison to com mi: a murder. The newspaper "Der Morgen" said the incident occurred at Des sau, in Russian-occupied Saxony. There the convict slipped away from the local jail one night, rob bed and murdered a jeweler's wi dow. With his loot he traveled to Leipzig, about thirty-five miles away. He converted part of the jewelry into food and other luxur ies for a night "on the town." The remainder he buried in a park. Then he voluntarily returned to Dessau and prison. His "holiday crime" was discov ered some weeks later after child ren at play had uncovered the jewel cache.

Those who will still live in tribes, away from civilization, are highly superstitious. Michael Saw tell, who has made a lifelong study of aborigines, says the race is dy ing out partly because the white man has broken down their super stitions. "Take away the aborigine's be lief in re-incarnation, and he feels lost," Sawtell said. "Without it their tribal organization falls to pieces." Sawtell says "wrong marriages" also help to end these people. Each tribe has a carefully worked out system of marriage. As soon as a child is born, his mate is al lotted to him by the elders of the tribe. Thus all members of the tribe are related.

These are habits they have picked up from the white man. The women are no Bali girls. They have flat noses and heavy, squat jaws. They do most of the hard work, leaving the men free to hunt food.
