Mr. Wood is president of the Council and Mr. Harless is a delegate member. Peanut production in 1946 topped the two billion pound mark for the ( fifth consecutive year and indications are that 1947’s production will be only three per cent less than in 1946, still well above that two billion pound figure. With peanuts back on a com petitive market again—vying for their share of the nation’s food dollar—the, leading representatives of the peanut industry will discuss improving the* product and attaining greater produc- ( tion at lower cost through research, , as well as acquainting the American public through advertising and publi city with contributions peanuts make to the diet. Peanuts are one of the top ten agricultural products of our country, bringing farmers approxi mately $200,000,000 yearly. The first session of the convention will be an open government industry conference on Sunday afternoon, May 11, at which W. T. Parker, Chief, Pea nut Section, Oil Seeds Division, Com modity Credit Corporation, will pre side.

EDENTON, N. C.. I’HuKSDAY MAY 8, 1947 26 County Women I Make Up Tour To Gardens In Virginia! Number of Historical I Sites Visited Near Norfolk Twenty-six Chowan and Perqui nans County women, accompanied by c Miss Rebecca Colwell, home agent , for Chowan County, Miss Frances ) Maness, home agent for Perquimans \ County and Miss Hazel Shaw, as- < sistant agent for both counties, left . by special Norfolk Southern bus driven by Harry Crummey Thursday morning of last week to visit histori cal homes and gardens near Norfolk. The first stop was to pick up Mrs. Potter, the guide, then going down to i the Great Neck section of Princess ! Anne County to visit Broad Bay j Manor, now owned by Mr. and Mrs. John B. Dey. Both the inside of the , house and the gardens were visited. [ The first house was built about 1640 and the present home added to this in 1770. It is surrounded by age-old boxwood bushes, sweeping lawns and broad fertile fields. The second visit was the home of!' Mr. and Mrs. Melchoir, a beautiful summer home and garden. The third visit was the old Dona tion Church and then on to Ducking Point where the witches were ducked. 1 Old Donation Church, first built be fore 1694, was used until 1854 and then abandoned. In 1882 it was par tially destroyed by fire, but is now restored and services are held regul arly. ' The fourth stop was at Sea Breeze 1 Farm, owned by the Misses Hill. The c gardens are located on a point over looking historic Lynnhaven River. The next stop was White Acres. In these gardens are planted many camellias and azaleas. The sixth place visited was the Azalea Gardens, where the group had a picnic lunch and enjoyed the gar dens. In its lakes are reflected ap proximately 70,000 blooming azaleas, also a magnificent display of camel lias, rhododendron, mountain laurel and Japanese iris. The last stop was Holly Lodge, a man’s garden, an example of success ful transplanting of plants and trees from warmer climates. After spending a very enjoyable day, the group arrived home about 8 o’clock. ' t » And Your Strength and Energy Is Below Par It may be caused by disorder of kid ney function that permits poisonous waste to accumulate.

You may suffer nagging backache, rheumatic pains, headaches, dizzme99, setting up nights, leg pains, swell.ng. ometimes frequent ana scanty urina tion with smarting and burning is an other sign that something is wrong with the kidneys or bladder.

Vaughan Presents Timely Advice “Diarrhea is often a serious dis order among newborn infants and was the cause of 25 deaths among babies in Philadelphia, Pa., recently,” the Edenton-Chowan Chamber of Commerce Health Committee said in a health reminder issued today. Dr. Roland H. Vaughan, chairman of the Health Committee, stated that the cause of many cases of diarrhea is not always easy to determine, and ' i that a number of different germs have [been suspected. He also said that j because the germ responsible for the 'disease is difficult to identify, treat ment is often difficult and for this reason prevention is the best means of protecting infants from this ail ment. “Proper handling and thorough washing of soiled diapers, also care in the sanitary handling of formula utensils is necessary in the home to provide protection of infants from diarrhea and other diseases,” con cluded Dr. Vaughan in his Chamber of Commerce Health reminder.
