KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD, KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C.

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. Of the scholarship

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.

MODElSSilSSSQ THE QUAUTY AUTOMATIC
CHAPEL HILL — 'riu-ic* arc
a number of North Carulinians,
once dead, who are alive udav
becau-so of a first aid technique
which rcvoi'ses d(*ath.
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. Flans for ex-
' paneling thi.s program are cur
rently being formulated -y a
