PAGE FOUR Captain John Horton I Terminates Service With U.S. Air Force Plans to Open Dental Office In Edenton October 1 Captain John Horton, a member of the dental staff, Station Hospital, Lockbourne AFB, Columbus, Ohio, terminated his army career last week. Dr. Horton went to Lockbourne Air Force Base early in February, 1948, from Camp Hood, Texas, where he was assigned upon graduation from Dental College, Howard University. In parting, the popular dentist said that his Army career would always serve to continually revive pleasant memories throughout his civilian en deavors in a “new” status. With a wealth of experience gained from long and patient administering to the dental troubles of military personnel, the former “khaki-clad” dentist goes forth into civilian life prepared *nd equipped to cope with the masses. Dr. Horton will open his offices to the public at his native home town, Edenton on October 1. Prices For Cotton Continue To Drop Cotton prices worked lower again with middling 15/16 inch averaging 31.01 cents per pound at the ten mar kets on Friday, August 20, as com pared with 31.38 a week earlier, and 34.00 a year ago. Spot prices for middling 15/16 inch cotton are cur rently only a little above the loan rate. Reported sales in the ten spot mar kets totaled 92,500 bales as compared with 79,400 last week and 85,700 a year ago. ANOTHER FIRE FRIDAY NIGHT AT HALSEY BOILER ROOM Edenton firemen were summoned to the Halsey Hardwood Company plant in North Edenton about 11 o’clock Friday night, where a fire was rag ing in the boiler room. A large pile of saw dust, used as fuel, ignited, and though the building itself is fireproof, damage to equipment was prevented by the work of the firemen.

V C“LIFE IS SO INTERESTING” [ By PETER CARLTON Looking at all this water reminds me of the words we read in a t>oem back in grammar school, “Water, wa ter everywhere, and not a drop to drink.” I’d like to improvise and say, “Water, water everywhere, and how so few make use of it.” We had a meeting down at Morehead City a few weeks ago to see if we couldn’t stir up seme interest among the citizens of those towns and cities which are lo cated on waterfronts. A boat cruise is planned for the fall and I believe Joe Conger and another boatman will participate. I jumped at the opportunity to cruise local waters with Bob Ev ans, our district fish and game protector. Last week we started at the Joe Webb creek and leisure ly traveled up the Yeopim River for my first time. I had heard of this river, but had no idea it was so beautiful, and that the surrounding land would make such a pretty picture. The shin ing sun soon was whisked away and hidden under a dark sky. The downpour followed quickly. As we progressed toward the Albe marle Sound, we seemed to be running through alternate cur tains of rain and sunshine. It was a most peculiar, yet inter esting experience. We didn’t turn back despite the downpour. I was absorbed in the scenery, what little of it that could be seen behind the lashing rain, and during the sunshiny lulls. We came upon a group of people pumping out a barge near shore, where the Yeopim River meets the Albemarle Sound. They had scurried to shore to avoid being swamped in the deluge. In talking with them we learned that they were civilians from Currituck working on a contract with the Navy in keeping ten floating targets in shooting shape so that Navy fliers from carriers in Norfolk could practice. We left won dering about fishermen and small craft which plied these waters. Wouldn’t they be in danger? Bob wanted to take me «*ut to see Batch elor’s graveyard, a seeming mass of poles and grass which looked to be but a short way out in the Sound. We progressed some in the slashing weather, but the waves seemed to grow in height and roughness. The boat was rising and falling in a most alarming THp, CHOW AN H KtvA ■ »Ti JEjDEN TUN, vm aUUAcWAXi AUuUoI ad. lvio, 1 fashion. Thought* of Eddie Spires riding, the wavea ajone some weeks ago, with a “conked out” motor filled- my mind. It’s funny how you remember anec- , dotes at times like these—but the onp f about the recruit at the front who j was dodging everything thrown at his : side, efieavoring to get a message , through, and who came back and al- , most brought the house down when , he gasped, “Gee, you could get killed < out there” came to my mind. I guess Bob never would have , turned back if I hadn’t said, “Bob, don’t you think we could find another, more pleasant time to comeback and look at this here now mess of sticks?” Do you , think Bob must have been think ing as I was—he sure turned that boat around fast. ; We didn’t see any fishermen this day. We got very wet. (Period). IjBITH FOR AUj SUMMER COMFORT “Beating the heat” —keeping as cool and comfortable as possible dur ing those hot, humid days of mid summer known as “dog days”—can be fairly easy when we follow a few, common-sense rules. Except for the short vacation per iod, most of us have to keep working during the hottest days. We can’t , just wilt and wait for more comfor table weather. Complaining about the heat and allowing it to drain us of our energy only makes the situa ■ tion worse. We know from , experience that these “dog days” are bound to come with every summer, so the best thing to do is to accept them, adapt cloth ing and diet to the hot spell, and be sensible about exercising and other physical activities. Light, loose clothing is best for hot summer days. The body makes an effort to keep its temperature normal by throwing off perspiration on the surface of the skin. Heavy, tight clothing hinders this natural function and prevents the perspiration from evaporating and thereby cooling the skin. Most people feel better in hot weather when they cut down on heavy foods. Rich, heavy meals produce large numbers of calories and make a person feel hotter. Vegetables and especially fruits, which are rich in vitamins, minerals and water con tent, and are plentiful in summer, but are low in calories, should be stress ed in planning a “hot weather diet.” Since the body perspires more in summer, we should drink enough I liquids to replace the water thrown off during this process of the body’s cooling system. The liquids may be water, fruit juices, milker other non alcoholic beverages. A great deal of salt, an important part of the body’s chemical make-up, is also lost in this excessive per spiration. This, too, must be replac ed, and it can be done by adding ex tra table salt to the diet. Exercising or playing strenuous games during the hottest part of the day not only results in discomfort but frequently brings on heatstroke or sunstroke. Exercise should be adapted to the weather as well as to the individual’s strength and condi tion of health. Frequent baths in summer, and es pecially during a heat wave, cleanses the skin of the extra wastes the body throws off in summer, too, and fre quent bathing washes it away, thus cutting down on the possibility of skin infections. CATHOLIC BISHOP VISITS FATHER F. J. McCOURT The Most Reverend Vincent S. Waters, Bishop of Raleigh, last week visited Father Francis J. McCourt, pastor of St. Ann’s Catholic mission i ary parish, headquarters in Edenton, at his rectory and again this week with the Rev. John G. Schtltz, a Re demptorist Father of Holy Redeemer College, Washington, D. C., who preached at the Catholic Sunday solemn mass August 22 in “The Lost Colony” amphitheater, the Bishpp presiding. Electric Fences Can Be Dangerous, Says Agent Warning that even a very small electric shock can be fatal, C. W. Overman, county agent for the State College Extension Service, today urg ed farmers to exercise extreme care in the selection and use of electric fences. According to the National Safety Council, the ordinary 110-volt light ing circuit can be as deadly as 40,- In loving memory of our beloved husband and father, W. T.

Tlte Safety Council, Mr. Overman continued, cautions farmers never to gamble with a home-made electric fence controller Precision equip ment is required to regulate electric current within safe limits. The or dinary lighting current must be re duced to a small fraction of an ampere and interrupted at short intervals. No fence should be energized from any electric source except through a controller approved by a recognized testing agency. In addition to the use of an ap proved the Extension Agent Baid, the following precautions should be observed: 1. See that the equipment is in stalled correctly with good ground and lighting protection. 2. Instruct everyone around the farm how to disconnect the controller in case of emergency. x 3. Do not depend upon an electric fence to restrain bulls, boars op other vicious animals. 4. Teach children not to tamper or play with an electric fence. 5. 'Provide insulated gate grips for opening and closing gates. 6. If anyone in the community is using an improvised or unsafe elec tric fence installation, try to have it removed and warn others of the danger. t - Bulletin Is Issued On Growing Turkeys If Tar Heels ate as much turkey as other Americans, it would take more than twice the State’s present pro duction to meet the. demand, Lee W. Herrick, Jr., Extension turkey spec ialist at State College, declares in a new 16-page bulletin which is now available for distribution. The present production rate of less than 400,000 turkeys annually might well be increased, Mr. Herrick says On the basis of average national consumption, we need 893,000 birds for our own needs, he adds. The bulletin entitled “Growing Turkeys”, gives detailed information on the production of turkeys by the range system and the total confine ment system. The range method, Mr. Herrick says, he considred more Dr?c tical for commercial growers in North Carolina since grazing crops, which reduce feed costs, may be produced " ”1 V M & A mmmSk Jlyf The most downright dependable tar you ever drove!
