4 H Club Members v Consider Poultry Project For 1948 Club Meetings Postpon ed Due to Recent Heavy Snow Due to schools being closed part of the time on account of the recent snow, 4-H Clubs of the county were unable to meet until Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The principal business transacted had to do with the poultry project which is sponsored By the Home Feed & Fertilizer Com pany. Rules and requirements were given each 4-H Club boy and girl who expressed a desire to enter the con test. The feed company will furnish each of ten Chowan County 4-H Club members with 100 New Hampshire! pullet chicks. The Club member j Agrees to feed, water and take proper, care of the chicks and to bring 12 j pullets to a 4-H poultry show and sale which will.be held next Fall. Proceeds from the sale will go to the sponsor to pay for the pullets. 1 The remainder of the pullets will be property of the club member. The club boys and girls who conducted a similar project last year are fortun ate in having a good pedigreed lay ing flock of their own. Corn, peanut and cotton projects were discussed at a separate meet ing with the boys. I OLD Mr. BOSTON BRAND BRONZE LABEL BLENDED WHISKEY .70% gram murm snwn KIKE MOTHERS MTOIEItB, MO.

Proper Lights Vital Factor For Driving I Safety At Night ■ All Requirements Must Be Met In Inspection Program Have you ever faced a single on ; rushing headlight and uneasily won s dered whether the approaching ve -1 hide was a motorcycle or an automo -1 bile with one headlight not working? i Have you ever tried to drive at night I with your own lights so dim you could hardly see the road before you? i Then you know how important good ' lights are to the safety of night driv ing. When the Motor Vehicle Mechanical ; Inspection Lane opens in this area. ■ your vehicle must be able to meet ' | certain specific requirements as far as , i lighting equipment is concerned. I There are specifications for tail | lights, stop lights, parking lights, I passing lights and auxiliary lights,' i which are given here. The Manual on Motor Vehicle Me chanical Inspection Requirements lists these minimum standards which all motor vehicles must meet in order to be approved: Tail Lights: “All motor vehicles originally equipped with approved tail light or lights may not in this respect be altered. Such light, or lights, when lighted must exhibit a red light, ' plainly visible for a, distance of not less than 500 feet to the rear.” I Don’t worry if your car was orig inally built with only one tail light. It will still pass the test if that one is in good safe condition and is visible ! for 500 feet to the rear. But if the j vehicle was originally equipped with two, then both of them must be op- 1 erating. j Stop Lights: “All motor vehicles originally equipped with approved j stop lights must not in this respect be j altered. Such light, or lights, shall present a red signal upon application 11 of the foot brake, plainly visible from | a distance of not less than 500 feet to] I the rear.” | Note that this requirement does hot i , state that all vehicles must have stop I lights, but it does say that if the car i was originally built with them, they must still be in good working order. Parking Lights: “All motor ve hicles shall be equipped with parking i lights capable of presenting one or more white lights at the front and] one or two red lights at the rear, all 1 of which shall be visible from a dis tance of not less than 500 feet. All motor vehicles originally equipped with dual front or rear parking lights may not in this respect be altered.” Passing Lights: “All motor ve hicles originally equipped with a means for dimming or depressing AN HERALD, BDENTON, N. C. THE -CHO’ headlight beams may not in this re spect be altered and such device shall be in good working order.” Auxiliary Lights: “All motor ve hicles may be equipped with not to exceed two auxiliary driving lights I mounted eon the front and must be aimed in such a manner that no part of the high intensity portion of the beam shall be directed to the left of the extreme left side of nor more than 75 feet ahead of the vehicle. The center of the high intensity beam shall not be higher than 8 inches be low lamp center at 25 feet.” Auxiliary lights, naturally, are not required. But if your vehicle is equipped with them, they must mea sure up to the stated specifications. And no vehicle is allowed to have more than two. Any or all unauthor ized lights or warning devices shall be removed before the vehicle will be approved. North Carolina Leads Southern States In Boosting Corn Yield Average Yield In 1947 Jumps to 32y 2 Bush els Per Acre “No other State in the South has a record that will approach ours in the progress in increasing the average corn yield of the State during the past ten years,” says assistant Coun- Ity Agent Robert S. Marsh. The statement was made following a .meeting of county agents of the Northeastern District- This progress was pointed out by Dr. E. R. Collins . of State College, in charge of Kxten ' sion agronomy. When the corn program in North Carolina was started ten years ago the average yield was only 22’u bushels per acre, while it was 32’.s | bushels per acre in 1947. The in crease in Corn yield has been due to better spacing in rows, better seed bed preparation, good rotations, bet ! ter cultural methods and by planting ! adapted hybrids or other adapted varieties which are suited .to . the. !o . cal it y in which they are planted.

For years, Pontiac has led its field in many of the basic aspects of motor car character. It has been outstanding in appearance —with its distinctive Silver Streak styling and beautiful bodies by Fisher. It has been consistently praised for its perjormance —based on smooth, powerful six and eight cylinder engines. It has a record for long life and dependability unsurpassed in the automotive industry. And now, in the 1948 Pontiac, comes revealing proof of Pontiac’s continuing leadership. Not only is the new Pontiac far more beautiful and luxurious—but it offers, as optional equipment on all models, the famous GM Hydra-Matic Drive! This mechanical masterpiece, which eliminates the clutch pedal and makes shifting entirely auto matic, is one of the greatest contributions to driving ease and safety in the history of the motor car. And Pontiac is the world’s lowest priced car to make it available to the motoring public. There are fifteen Pontiac models—each more beautiful and more luxurious than ever—and each an outstanding value. You are cordially invited to see and inspect them today. CHAS. H.
