This week I 4V’ Ijeeii lielping witti day camp ir a small .group of fourth, fifth, iui sixlli graders. We hegaii Monday morning, and le children were just enthralled nth the idea of being “deep" in lie woods We chose our outdoor •line and worked at light house i‘e|)ing. Our site was near the vershore, and keeping our camp i\s awa>' fi-om the water was as .'.sy as keeping bees away from oney. Morning was filled with ming- iffliffliflininF^iff More School Pays Off for farm Worker More school means more pay for farm workers. And steadier Jobs. And a bettor reliance at non-farm jobs. ■.^Proofot the importance of edu- •fion to income shows up in a fttiomvide survey made in 1961 by me Kureau of the Census for ISDA's Economic Re.searoh Sor- Male housoliold heads with a year of high school earned almost twice as much per day at farm V. ork as those with only four years -of grammar school, the survey siiowed. The better-educated had steadier employement, earned higher annual wages and more often worked at non-farm jobs. Average educational level of f.irm laborers hasn’t improved over the past 20 years, the report shows, fh 1960, about six of 10 U. S. hired f irm workers had no more than eight grades of school. Only about one in seven had finished high ivhool. And in the South, hired farm workers had finished an average ■>[ seven years of school. Outside the South, the average was nine years.

Having a rainy afternoon, we stuff ed ourselves in a tent. Unfortun ately, the boys and girls at this age are against each other, but despite this problem we did man age to get in a few games and songs without too much conflict. That afternoon we all w'ent home very tired and very dirty, leaving behind us one wot tent, one lash ed, lopsided table, one pit of satu rated ashes. We spent the rest of the week in many varied activities. Crafts took up a great part of the schedule. Hikes up and down the beach delighted our friends for hours. We cooked a few times for our fire birds. Although the main part of the meal was prepared by the counselors, it was enjoyed just as well. Before our fish got too depress ed, we did manage to swim. Out side of resting and recreation, this filled most of the w'eek. We always concluded our day with a devo tion, given by the children them selves. Then we returned home in condition not unlike the first day, except that maybe some had con tracted poison ivy and sunburn (mostly me). To be sure, this was quite an experience. These children are so happy, carefree, and eager to learn. It was a joy to be wdth them, for they taught me more than I could ever teach them. An optimist is somebody who al ways sees the bright side of the other fellow’s misfortune. • Ceramic Tile • Quarry Porches • Marble Fireplaces • Rubber & Asphalt Tile G. H.

Let Us Put the Sweet in Home Sweet Home. CRAVEN BAKERY A visitor came by yesterday and wanted to know how to tell the difference between a male and a female muscadine plant. The dif ference can only be determined when the plants are in flower. All of the better known older varieties of muscadine grape — Scuppernong, James, Thomas, Mish and Hunt — are self-unfruitful and must have pollen from a male plant, which bears no fruit, or, from a perfect-flowered variety. Formerly, it was necessary to plant the male (staminate) pollen producing non-bearing plants in the ratio of one male to every three pistillate (female) plants, such as Scuppernong. This gave about 11 percent non-bearing plants per acre. Now, by breeding, varieties with perfect flowers have been develop ed. These varieties are self-fruitful and will also furnish pollen to fertilize the flowers of such self unfruitful varieties as Scupper nong and Thomas. Two of these perfect-flowered sorts are Burgaw (B) and Bearing (W). The Scuppernong variety is an all-time favorite and most likely will continue to hold this position. To be assured of a crop of fruit on your Scuppernong plants and other self-unfruitful varieties, set one plant of either Burgaw or Bearing for three plants of Scup pernong. If you plan a larger plant ing, use Burgaw or Bearing as pollinizers — every third plant in every third row. Bewberries and raspberries are ripe in the Raleigh area. As soon as the harvest is over remove all of the old fruiting canes from both the red and black raspber ries; and from dewberries in the mountains. In the lower Piedmont and Eastern Carolina, all the canes, both old fruiting and new, may be removed from your dewberry plants and destroyed. Removing all canes helps in the control of di seases which attack the leaves and canes. If all canes are removed from dewberry plants in the mountains, you take a chance on not having enough strong canes produced for maximum yields in 1963. This is due to the difference in the length of the growing season in the moun tains as contrasted with the lower Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Reminders about other chores. Make succession plantings of such warm season crops as snap and lima beans. This is a good season for making cuttings of such crops as azaleas and blueberries as shoots are neither very soft nor fully hardened. Keep the sprayer or duster busy to protect all plants from the ravages of insect and disease posts. Woman’s influence is powerful, especially when she wants some thing. Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week. The weakness of public opinion is that so many people express it only in privacy. A reader of The Mirror who resides in Washington, B. C., says she has been quite pleased with the results she gets from a recipe for scalloped beans and broccoli. Ingredients required are one cup of drained canned grean beans; one cup of cooked cut-up broccoli; one and one-half cups of medium white sauce; a pinch of dry herbs; one-fourth cup of dry bread crumbs, mixed with one table spoon of butter; salt to taste. You simply combine the vege tables, sauce and seasonings in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top, and bake at 350 degrees for 20 or 30 minutes. Instead of purchasing hamburger on your next trip to the store, get ground chuck. We will be greatly surprised if you are disappointed. In our opinion, it is much superior to the usual run of hamburger that you’ll find on sale at meat coun ters. Summer has its unpleasant fea tures, but one of the wonderful things about it is the opportunity one has to procure fresh, home grown tomatoes. Tomatoes im ported from other areas during the off season have very little taste, and like firmness. Perhaps it’s just a false con clusion on our part, but it seems to us that New Bernians aren’t as fond of watermelon as they once were. Recently, they were reason ably priced here, but no one at our house was particularly enthusiastic about this delicacy. Many housewives complain that melons take up too much space in their refrigerator, and are diffi cult to serve without “making a mess.” A portion of the last one we bought stayed in the refrigera tor for several days before some one finally ate it. It’s surprising how many people have never gotten around to broil ing fish instead of frying them. That’s a shame, since they are excellent when cooked in this man ner. When a driver stops, looks and listens, there’s something wrong with his motor. WE BUY WRECKED AUTOS MODELS 1955 AND UP When You Think of Used Auto Parts — Think of Us. SAULTER AUTO SALVAGE CO.
