D. Division of Mental Hygiene, Statej Welfare Department. A very tragic story was told me recently by a prominent business man. I cannot give you his name or town but many of you might re member reading about the case. He said that the wife of a friend o^’ his lost her mind became very difficult to control. The husband made ap plication to have her committed to one of our State hospitals but was told that they had no room for her. She was so disturbed that s,"e could not be left alone day or night. The man had a little money in the savings bank which he drew out and hired nurses to stay with her. When he had used all his money he came to this friend of his and toirowed some. When the borrowed money was all gone and being still un.'ibls to get his wife into the State liospital the man became distraught and shot himself. As I heard the story I thought how much different it might have turned out if there had been a mental hygiene clinic in that town. The psychiatrist might have given the man advice on how best to take care of his wife until such a time as she could have been admitted to the hospital. More than that he could perhaps have steadied the man by sympathetic understanding and have given him help to keep from taking such a desperate way out. But one thing that struck me about the story this business man told me was a remark he made at the close. By R. M. HOLDER, Ass’t. Co. Agent ■Cotton can be mopped profitably with a mixture made by adding one pound of calcium arsenate to one gallon of water and stirring, then adding a gallon of cheap molasses and continue stirring until all in gredients are thoroughly mixed. It will take about four pounds of calci um arsenate, four gallons of water and four gallons of cheap molasses to treat one acre four times. The first mopping while the plants are small will not take as much as J;he last. Mopping should be started when the cotton is five to six inches high just as the squares are about to form, 'or when weevils can be found the plants. The mopping should be made at five to seven day inter vals. If rain occurs within twenty- four hours after mopping, the treat ment should be repeated. The reason our forefathers were better behaved than we are was be cause they didn’t have as many laws to break. RALEIGH, April 22. — Employers subject to the State Unemployment Compensation Law, who have not paid their 1939 contributions, may still save on their Federal taxes if they make the payments by June 30, ■Chairman Charles G. Powell, of the State Commission, points out. These payments were due by January 1 and if paid to the State Commission by that time, the paying employers received 90 per cent credit, leaving 10 per cent for the Federal Govern ment. If contributions of 2.7 per cent of payrolls were not paid to the State by January 31, but are paid by June 30, then credit of 81 per cent is allowed, and the Federal penalty is nine per cent. If paid later, the Federal Government collects the full 3 per cent of the payroll, in addition to the State’s 2.7 per cent, almost doubling the original tax, Mr. Powell said. It has gotten so in many homes that daughter is as good at shying at a dish towel as her father ever was. Beer License Renewals May ia the month when city and county authori-. ties have the responsibility of passing on yearly applications for beer licenses. Following dinner the honor guest i. u- j-j shower of gifts|He said: “But shooting himself did not solve the problem.” How true that is! Running away from a problem or turning our backs on it does not solve it. It is the hope of the Brewers and North Caro lina Beer Distributors Committee that local au-. thorities will scrutinize the record of each appli cant, and will deny renewals to the few who have abused the privilege of a license.
