'. THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNK 8, 105G. PAGE THUZa . ;SENAT0S1 SAT.V ERVIN SAYS Washington Following the pri mary, election on Saturday, May 26, I immediately returned to Wash' ington where a great deal of work required attention. . ' Thanks ' ' When one receives the approval of his fellow citizens, he should be grateful. I am indeed. The out come of the primary, of course, was gratifying to me. I had to miss two and one-half days of work in , the Senate before tie primary, but have tried to stick to my knitting on' the affairs that are vital to the country. . '.-. ,' - " Back To Work ' Upon returning to the Capitol, I found 'that the Highway Bill was ready t for attention. It required careful 'study as it was necessary to act on a number of amendments , which were vital to North Caro lina. As you will recall, the Sen ate passed its version of the high way bill (the Gore bill) last ses sion, but it had to leave the reve nue features up to the House which passed its version of the bill earlier this session. The bill now is in conference between the Senate and House and should be the law of thf land before long. It envisions more money than I can comprehend, but we are living in an age when om country must have good highways It will cost money. Money comes from taxes. Taxes will be increased on gasoline, fuel oil, tires, etc., in order to meet the needs of oui rapidly-expanding nation. . , " . Small Business When you hear a person talk ing about the pressures that fac- mall business today, chances are that he is talking about something . that is a fact. In the Congression al Record the other day I 'found some figures which show a very severe condition that needs better attention. From 1949 through 1952, . business failures were de clining steadily, the number in 1952 being almost' 18 per cent low- er than in 1949. Beginning ir 1953, the failures began to rise, and by 1955 failures in business Fere over 44 per cent higher than in 1952. I think it is also known thatthese failures nnnlv lmAf tnla-ely. in the category of small business. . Authorities who keep up with these figures tell us that 1966 promises to be the worst year for business failures since 1940. The President's Economic Report of January 24, 1956, shows the failures for last year were 10,969. Here is a situation that needs' ur gent, attention as the small busi ness of America is the bedrock of tVr economy. . , ' jous year. ; I In addition. Dolicv dividends un-' der accident and sickness contructs were $13,000,000 in the quarter. Started Pullets Can Cause Much Trouble! V Army 'Slanguage' Course 'No Sweat' For AlliedStuderits Truth Cures Everything -"Your wife used to be terribly nervous. Now she is cool and com posed. as a cucumber. . What cured her?" ; . . "The doctor did. He told her .that her kind of nervousness was the natural result of advancing age." Fort Monmouth, N. J. "Slangu age," Army style, is being taught 100 Allied students from 20 dif ferent countries who are attending the U. S. Army Signal School here, under the Mutual Defense Assist ance Program. , " 'No sweat.' Would you explain that again?" said a troubled Royal Thailand Army officer. "No sweat" means no trouble at all, he was told. "You're in hot water." "That means you're in trouble?" a Korean Army sergeant asked quizzically. "What's a 'flap'?" A flap is a state of tension: somebody had better do something because far:reaching commitments are at stake, or because influential people want something done, it was explained. " 'Hubba hubba', has me confus ed," said a Brazilian major. A Japanese captain set him straight with a few hand .curve indicating gestures that mean the same nMiig' the ytorld over. ' '; All the students at the school have a working knowledge of Eng lish but wage a continual battle against American slang and collo quialisms. To. assist them, the school has set up this extra-curric ular training course to give thenr an opportunity to decode these mysteries. " "Little stress is placed on gram matical form," said Dr. Joseph Frank, Chief of the Instructor Training Branch here. "The em phasis is on correct pronunciation, enunciation, and understanding." The phase of instruction the students enjoy most, according to the doctor, is the free discussion which takes up, 30 minuns at the begining of each session. Here they discuss what they have learn ed about America and American life; they are quick to pounce on any errors their fellow students may make. Films and recordings are used freely as . training aids in the course. The students also present playlets on 'such subjects as "How to buy in a store," "Going on a bus ride," "Ordering in a restaurant," and "Giving directions". All the material used must be suitable for the background of the students and must not in any way be offensive to their varying social customs. 'ACCIDENT, SICKNESS CLAIMS UP IN FIRST QUARTER OF '56 Accident and sickness insurance policy benefits paid during the first quarter of this year by the life insurance companies alone to taled $394,300,000, or 20 per cent more than a year ago, the Insti tute of Life Insurance reports. This year's first quarter payments were $64,800,000 more than in the corresponding three months last year. Group accident and sickness poli cy benefits accounted for three fourths of the total payments, and were one-fifth larger than a year ago. The nearly $100,000,000 of benefit payments under individual accident and sickness policies with the life companies represented a rise of 19 per cent from the previ- at the ages of eight to 10 weeks. If the pullets are good ones, the purchaser has save himself a lot of work and the invesben wise. nent may be Purchasing started pullets is qtite widely practiced among North Carolina poultrymen.' If the pullets are well bred, disease and parasite free, and make a rapid ad justment to their new surround ings, the practice can be satisfac-1 tory. But there's a possibility J tnat tne purchaser may be buying himself a mess of trouble, accord ing to R. S. Dearstyne of the State College poultry science department. Dearstyne says that an extention poultry specialist recently returned from a field trip with a report on one poultryman who purchases such pullets. After arrival, the pullets quickly came down with cecal coccidiosis and colds. On au topsy, several birds showe'd heavy infestation of intestinal parasites. It'll be hard for that poultryman to salvage anything from his in vestment. Started pullets usually are sold Um on hand! ARCADIAN UITRAUA' Nitrogen Solutions SceusUOVI!

He should also look the birds over on the premises before buying. By all means, don't buy started pullets from some unknown pedd lers of such birds, he wains. Double Talk A proud parent called up the newspaper and reported the birth of twins. The girl at the news desk didn't quite catch the mes sage over the phone. "Will you re peat that?" she asked. "Not if I can help it," was the reply. .
