1965 Thursday, August 19, 1965 KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD, KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C. Page 3 4 H Club Week ended last night (July 29) and for the first time in my 38 years at N. C. State 1 had the happy privilege of participating, fully, in the program. 1 have always attend ed the general sessions but this time I went behind the scenes, met the contestants and their coaches and servetl as a judge in two of the contests—Fruit and V'egetable Production and Fruit and Vegetable Marketing. There were also contests, of a sumilar nature, in all phases of agriculture - dairying, field crops, poultry, forestry, wildlife and .soil conservation, to name a few. It is not possible to capture enthusiasm of the contestants until you have ha<! the opportun ity to obs<'rve them under the •sU’CAs of the keenest kind of competition. Neither is it possi ble to fully realize the hours spent by contestants and coaches in preparation for tlie contests. The awards and recognition banquet, for the state winners In each category, was held at the N. C. S. U. Faculty Club and was attended by over 390 boys and girls, their coaches, spon sors, Extension leaders, and dis tinguished guests. This was a delightful occa.sion and so well organized, the different interest groups seated together. Tile awards included scholar ships, savings bonds, luggage and watches.

THE ARTHUR HAY AGENCY "ALL KINDS OF INSURANCE" PHONE 739-4659 recipients, some will enter State this fall while others will emoll at Carolina, UNC-G, or Western Carolina. Regardless of the mstitution chosen or the educational objec tives to be pursued, the 4-H stamp of approval has btnm plac ed upon these winners and the training they have received in 4 II program.^ will play a major role in orienting their lives in the direction of useful and pro ductive service. Every county in North Caro lina should give strong support to these youth programs along with strong support of the total Extension program. There is no other course to choose in these times of such rapid change if progress is to be made. Some counties do not yet seem to real ize' this. Extension has been built on service to all the people and it is up to the individual citizen to see to it that progress is not im pelled. Since writing about African Violets, several weeks ago, re quests have b<‘en received for ad ditional information. At that time I gave suggestions about a few satisfactory varieties and two methods of pix)pagation, leaf cuttings and division. Other re quests have come in for sugges tions about the use of artificial light, fertilization and watering. Light plays such an important role in plant growth that it is not possible to give definite rec ommendations because too many factors are involved. We have, for years, been conducting exper iments on the effect of light on plant growth, and w^e still are b{hh in the greenhouse and in growth chambers where both the quality and intensity of light can be controlled to an exact degree. So I will try to be practical a- bout it and make suggestions that may permit you to do some experimenting on your own. I would suggest that you use tw'o 40 watt daylight fluorescent tubes (bulbs) with reflector. The lights should be suspended about 1.5 inches above the plants. This arrangement should provide en ough light for a bench about two feet by four inch(*s. A cheaper method, and per haps just as satisfactory, would be to make your own or enlist the help of an electrician and tinsmith. For this I would sug gest 40 watt incandescent bulbs placed three feet apart, with re flector. Place the light source 15 inches above the plants, the same as for fluorescent. The number of hours that the plants should receive light will depend upon the amOAint of light that they are now receiving. If they are growing in a location with subdue<I light, such as a basement, I would suggest a light period of about 14 hours. For fertilization I would sug gest the use of a water soluble mixture which you should be able to purcha.se at your garden center. Mix according to instruc tions and w'ater the plants once e\'ery two or three weeks with this solution, which would take the place of one regular water ing. Over-watering and poor drain age are c*onimon ailments of house plants. V/hen watering, wet the soil thoroughly and then do not water again until the soil appears to be dry.

Five years hav’e passed since extei’nal heart massage was in troduced as a new tecjinique loi' saving lives when the heart sud- ! denly stops beating. Its elteciive- ^ ness is now sufficiently esiab- , lished to call for it.s application as ail emeigency procedure by individuals who have been given adequate training, the North Carolina Heart Association says. According to the state heart group, the piompt application of external heart massage techni cally, clased - chest cardiiopul- monary resuscitation iCCCHi in coi-onary heart attacks, as in other cases of heart stoppage, has ena.led lives to be saved which would previously have been 1 wst. A survival rale of 25 percent has been reported in a collected series of 1,270 patients. When the technique is applied by well-trained individuals, the risk of complioaiions (possible internal injuries) is acceptably small and the anticipated bene fits are sufficiently great to war rant its prompt use in j>ersons whose hearts have stopped beat ing. Persons using the proc*edure must be thoroughly trained in artificial respiration as well as in cardiac massage, since the ar tificial respii-ation is vital to maintain the body’.s oxy’gen sup ply. If possible, two qualified persons siiould work over the patient, one maintaining respir ation by mouth-to mouth breath ing while the other applk^s the external heart massage. To a- void irreparable train damage, both respiration and circulation must be restored within 4-6 min utes of heart stoppage, the Heart Association points out. "Sudden death” has been re versed by these procedures in a variety of circumstancc>s. such as I drowning, electric shock, asphyx iation, heart attack or heart stop page during anesthesia or sur- gery, a( v oiding to the statement, j Rcsuscitaii ,n by emergency tech niques must suh ;cq j(‘ntly he sustained by additional medical treatment to re-establish the cir culation permanently. This may include the use of drugs or spe cial electrical equipment or both. In cooix'ration with its affili- I ates and their chapters (such as the Greensboro Heart Associa tion), the American Heart Asso ciation has pioneeivd in the training of several thousand physicians and nurses in resusci- tatian techniques in the past four years, who have in turn trained , thousands moio.
