What Is Pasteurization?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU AND THE
HEALTH OF YOUR CHILDREN?
Pasteurization is a great scientific discovery that will kill the
harmful bacteria that may be found in raw milk.
The following diseases may be contacted through raw milk
whether it be Grade £ A,’ ‘B,’ ‘C/ or £ D,’ but if your milk is pas
teurized, you have no worry:
1. UNDULANT FEVER.
2. TYPHOID FEVER.
3. CHOLERA.
4. SEPTIC SORE THROAT.
5. DIPHTHERIA.
6. SCARLET FEVER.
7. TUBERCULOSIS. *
This information is found in the 10th edition of General Bac
teriology written by Edwin O. Jordan, Ph.D., who is the pro
fessor of bacteriology in the University of Chicago, (pp 670
and 671).
We have in Edenton a few restaurants and grocery stores
that handle raw milk. When you use a bottle of milk, look at
the stopper and see that it is labeled PASTEURIZED, also be.-
sure to get the protective Seal-right hood that protects the
pouring lip of your bottle from germs that may be contacted
through handling.
BE SAFE! BE SURE! WITH
PASTEURIZATION!

Plentiful Food Supply
Announced For Sept.
Miss Colwell Says Hens,
Peas and Onions
Lead List
September menus will be tasty and
varied, judging from the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture’s plentiful
foods list for the month, says Miss
Rebecca Colwell, home demonstra-
I tion agent for the State College Ex
tension Service.
Topping the September list are
hens, pears, and onions.
Hens, largely culled from laying
flocks, provide excellent sandwich
meat, or may be used for chicken and
dumplins, salads, and many other
chicken dishes.
Many of the pears will be Bartletts,
which are ideal for between-meal eat
ing. As for onions, Commercial pro
ducing areas are marketing a crop
heavy enough to place generous sup
plies on all retail markets in the
South.
Plentiful fresh fruits will be grapes,
prunes, and apples. The nation’s fall
apple crop is larger than last year,
and such well-known varieties as
Grimes Golden, Jonathan, and Weal
thy are being harvested.
By the latter half of September,
sweet potatoes from this year’s crop
will be seasonally plentiful, and sup
plies of cabbage, tomatoes, and Irish
potatoes will be on markets in good
volume throughout the month.
Cooking fats, once so scarce, are
a newcomer to the plentiful foods list,
as are turkeys. Miss Colwell said tur
key growers are marketing a large
crop early this year and that prices
will undoubtedly be lower than last
fall.
Broilers and fryers will be plentiful
in September to add more protein to
early fall menus, as will fish, dairy
foods, and peanut butter.

I know of no better training for the
l " hunter-rifleman than chuck shooting.
ie Except for crow shooting, it requires
more skill and better equipment than
any other form of rifle shotting.
Chuck hunting is full of thrills, and
e a dead shot at fairly long range, after
\’ a good piece of stalking or spying, is
d quite an achievement.
r The mark one has to shoot at is
quite small. Often only the head is
; visible and this sportiest of all tar
gets is equivalent to a 3% inch bull’s
. eye. What the successful woodchucker
r needs, therefore, is a rifle, ammuni
i tion and equipment with which he
can surely hit a 3% inch bull’s eye
, at an estimated 200 yards the first
shot.
Col. Townsend Whelen, well known
arms and ammunition authority, says
I that first of all, good binoculars are
1 a must for finding chucks. Since the
development of the .22 Hornet cart
ridge, he was used that almost ex
» elusively in a variety of rifles equip
ped with a 4-power scope with double

“Hmmm! Nice!”

They eye-measure windshields that are

, micrometer target mounts.
He writes “I have found this type
of mount very essential in long-range
varmim shooting. You want to con
tinually keep your rifle sighted to
strike - almost precisely 1 inch, or 1%
inches above aim at 100 yards.
“I practically never miss a chuck
up to 175 yards with my Hornet rifles
I when I can get a good steady prone
. or sitting position, or get worked into
a steady position along a stone wall,
| always aided by the gun sling. More
| often than not I make clean kills at
200 yards. Up to that distance, when
I the Hornet bullet enters the chest or
, abdominal cavities, it practically al
, ways kills the chuck dead in its
tracks.
“Finally my friends pursuaded me
that I w r as out of date and that I
ought to get a rifle for the .22/3000
R 2 cartridge because I w r ould have
, a much longer sure-hitting range,
considerably less w T ind drift, better
accuracy, and a flatter trajectory. I
found this to be true. In many re
spects I think it is the best,of all
the chuck cartridges. But the expense
is much greater than for a Hornet,
the rifle has to be custom-made and
the ammunition has to be very care-
handloaded.
“There are two reasons why I am
so partial to the .22 Hornet and the
.22/3000 R 2 cartridges for woodchuck '
shooting. First, the cartridges are
so small, and the report so light, that
scarcely any farmer objects to their
use. Second, the rifles have a prac
tically unlimited accuracy life, and a
pet rifle for either cartridge, tuned
up to perfection, should last you al
most a lifetime.
“One year I used my .257 Roberts
rifle for chuqkj and it also did well,
but it is quite a sausage machine in
the way it blows up the little beasts.
The .22 long rifle, high-speed, hollow
point bullet will kill quickly only
when it enters the brain, breaks the
spinal column, or drives well into the
center of the chest cavity of the

cannot be assured by the best rifle

chuck hunters do no,t consider a
chuck at less than 100 yards a. legiti
