I in charge of extension ooutry work. Put State College. I He points out that the s.j;r.mer ; range shelter is u practical piece of 'poultry equipment that will return many times its cost. It can be built lof salvage materials on the farm, if aw mill strips, or r.f framing and I wire. Some farmers use metal roofs on the poi-table shelters, while other:; use plank roofs. Some instances have been reported where growers treated sacks with gas tar and used these as a proof t'er the range shel ter Generally the shelter is built to house 500 birds. The pullets should be kept on ; range until they are ready to entci i the laying house, being sure to sup ply the additional feed and fresh I svater needed to insure vigorous growth. "11 such a plan is follow ed, better results can be expected from the pullets the coming year than if they were kept in semi-con finement or on a small, bare lot, " j says Phi rish. He suggests that the shelter be I moved from time to time so as to i I keep the pullets on clean range. This j J will greatly aid in the prevention of j j disease outbreaks.

Recreation Suggestions ; For Home, Family Life j J In order to cor tribute to the ef j forts of your State Health D-'oart ] men;. arid the North Carolina Polio ! | Emergency Committee, the State j Heereation Committee wishes to lend i their efforts not only to assist in curbing the spread of infantile pa ralyse but to keep tun and family p'ay alive. We cannot dispese with recreation in the home in the time of w ar or epidemics. Therefore, it is the parents' responsibility to keep their children at home and to use imagination, intelligence and ener gy to stimulate home recreation. The manpower shortage and our . participation in civic activities have j had a tendency to crowd out the | normal piny and close companion ( ship of the family group. Now is the time to start! Toys and games, >10 matter hew expensive, will not solve the problem ? neither are they j essential. The house and backyard is full of play equipment if only I you can see the possibilities. This] new role as play leader for the | family groups does not require con- ! stant supervision or playing every | game, but just a little interest and attention to stimulate them to use their own initiative and imagina tion. Here are a few ideas to give you a start - 1. All health authorities advise' that children stay out-of-doors in the sunshine and fresh air as much j as possible but avoid exposure and j extremely active exercise. Why not take this opportunity to have the family eat out-of-doors? If it is possible, build an outdoor fireplace or a crude grill and let the children help with the building. An ocea- ; sionai lazy breakfast car. be fun for I the whole family. After the meal. | play some games. 2. Bring cut the old family at- j | bunt. Tell the children what mom i ! and dad did when they were grow- j j ing up. I 3. During these hot days, let the I i _.j. younger children ylaj out-of-doors in their bathing suits, substituting a :ub '-'i water or hose for tht; sv. in?uui? pool. 4. In the late afternoon dad could help the children start a lean-to, tent or tree house ? this will provide unlimited fun. Jt will be a real adventure to let them sleep out there on a riot night and cook their own breakfast the next morning. 5. This may be the time to im prove the backyard or mend and paint-up that old fer.ee. You will be amazed at the results after a good coat of whitewash made of lime and buttermilk. 6. The fall and winter garden should be started now. Even a small garden well planned and worked will provide vegetables for all can ning ana winter storage ? and will offer hours of wholesome activity. 7. When lb ore is litlle or no out door space for family activities, why not turn thai guestroom, ga rage or attic into a play room? They are seldom used. It will be fun to make a few simple games, l.ook, through the attic for that old dis carded table and pair.': a checker board on the top. ottle leps make excellent men for the board. Other simple games can be made from dis carded materials. 8. Promote and stimulate the imagination for drama in every day life. A box of old clothes suggests make-believe play. You will lind the youngsters dramatizing home, school and community life. Perhaps moir. and dad would join them for charades ? the costume box adds to the fun. LUMBER NEEDED More than 15 billion board feet, nearly half cf the country's esti mated lumber production in 1344, wilt be needed for boxes and crat ing, for military and civilian neecls.

Lees - McRae College Publicized in Magazines Banner Elk ? I^ees-McRae College has had the hcncr of being written up in two national magazines dur ing ihe month of July, both with ! wide circulation. One article, en | titled "Office Experts," appeared in "Hospitals." tiie official journal of [ the American Hospital Association. | This described the hospital ? affili jated courses offered by I^es-McRae j in conjunction with Grace Hospital, j i.uch as hospital book-keeping, iredi ical secretarial, X-ray technician and j laboratory technician. The second article, entitled "Ideals, Life and Sei-vice" appeared in "The Presbyterian Survey, maga zine of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. If. was a genial, I inclusive article, and the title is self-explanatory- The cover of the j magazine was a picture of Hemlock i Trail, one of Ihe beouty spots on j the Lees-McRae campus. *?!TW CANADA oar l^eUALITY^B New Arrivals At Economy Store We have just received another shipment, of Men's Suits.

C, A Post-war Plan to Help " Small Business I.. Every business starts sinaE. No business, however large, ran function without good smaller businesses working with it day by day. The oil wells and refineries of Esso Marketers could not sell their output, without the vast army of local, independent dealers and distributors who bring the bulk of our products to you. At war, we have seen these businessmen do a magnificent job, Tbev have worked under most difficult rationing restrictions. Their manpower shortage has grown worse and worse. They have had to push old equipment to the limit. And still they have done an outstanding job in helping to hold the nation's transportation together. After the war they will have new tough problems to face? in modernizing facilities., replacing old equipment, expanding their businesses. To help them do this we announce the Esso Marketers Business Assistance Plan. 3 Hi) iBM in a series of ads on post-UKir opportunities THE PLAN , which will be revised from time tc time to keep pace with new developments, includes: !L SogRewtiorw for po?t-war service station detcigne. 2. A list of recommended equipment now generally available, to which will be added new equipment from time to time. 3. Modernization of existing service station*; to meet pont-war needs for petroleum products! and the han dling of other services for autotnobilea, fcrncke and air travel. 4. This plan face* the fact that many of these smaller busaneaeroen will isot coroc through the war with finan cial reaerves equal to their sound bueineas expansion needs. This plan will supplement the service of local commercial banks in lending money to see these mm "over the hump" of post-war needs.
