Appalachian High Begins Spring
Clean-Up Week
Once every year the high school
students and faculty take the
homeroom activity period for one
week and use this time to clean
up the building, so if you pass by
the high school this week and
see students washing windows,
cleaning up the grounds, etc., you
will know that Appalachian High
is having its yearly "face lifting."
At the end of this week the
homeroom that is the cleanest
and neatest will be given an
award. This award consists of
free passes for the homeroom
teachcrs and students to the next
school movie.
The high school rest rooms have
been newly painted and after
this week the building will be
spick and span throughout. All
patrons are invited to come to
the high school and visit with us.

WAKE FOLLOWS WEDDING
New York ? For six months,
Agnes Lagana, 28, and Joseph
Puglisi, 25, had been arranging
their wedding reception on Feb
ruary 21, as a double celebration
on her father's fifty-eighth birth
day. The father, Paul Lagana,
who was to have given the bride
away, collapsed of a heart attack
and died in the flower-banked
home a few hours before the time
set for the wedding. The family
decided to go ahead with the
wedding ? because the dead fath
er had been looking forward to
it so eagerly. Instead of a re
ception, however, 'here was a
wake at a funeral parlor.
North Carolina growers intend
to plant 11,500 acres of water
melons this year. This is about
12 per cent more than last year.

Prepare Now To
Control Blue Mold

L Fleming of FWA urges plan

LKrug says U. S WHWM p>?
raions reject communism.
Tobacco growers who have not
already done so should make ar
rangement? at once to obtain
materials and equipment needed
for blue mold control in the
plant bed, says Howard R. Garris,
plant pathologist for the State
College Extension Service.
'The blue mold fungus," says
Garriss, "'is known to carry over
from one year to the next in old
plant bed sites where the disease
occurred the previous year. To
what extent the disease would
carry over during a mild winter
in North Carolina cannot be
answered at present However,
growers having plant beds this
year in old plant bed sites where
blue mold occurred last year
should keep a sharp lookout for
early attacks of the disease."
The pathologists adds that blue
mold control is an investment
and should be followed as a
means of reducing the cost of
production. He recommends that
growers obtain a full supply of
dust or spray material now and
use it as a preventative " rather
than as a cure.
According to Garriss, there are
three trade-name materials re
commended for controlling the
disease in North Carolina. They
are Fermate, Karbam (Black),
and Dithane Z-78. Any of these
will give excellent control when
properly used. They may be us
ed either as a dust or a spray.
For spray treatments, use the
full-strength material. For dust
treatments use 15 percent Fer
mate or Karbam (Black) dust or
10 per cent Dithane Z-78 dust.
Ready-mixed dusts are available
for dust treatments.
For spraying, use two pounds
of either Fermate or Karbam
(Black), or 1V4 pounds of Dithane
Z-78 for each 100 square yards of
plant bed. For dusting, use 20 to
25 pounds of either recommend
ed dust per 100 square yards.
Detailed information on blue
mold control may be obtained
from the local county agent or
the Extension plant pathologist.

Proof of the fine quality of
Gambill's Best flow is not in the
advertising claims we make for
it . . . it's not in the good words
your grocer will say about it . . .
neither does the snow-whiteness,
nor the velvety-smoothness prove
to you that Gambill's Best is really
a superior quality of flour.
Positive proof comes directly
from the users themselves: wher
ever this fine flour has been offered
it has led all other brands in sales.
Gambill's Best flour has been first
