Last Tuesday morning 35 Seniors
left for a trip to own own State Fair
at Raleigh, chaperoned by N. J.
George. Earl Goodwin drove the bus
there and Morris Small drove it back,
leaving Raleigh at 5 o’clock in the
evening.
As soon as the Seniors reached Ra
leigh, Mr. George guided them to the
State Capitol. Many Seniors took
their first visit through the Capitol
building and its grounds.
After this, they went directly to
the State Fair, passing by St. Mary’s
College, State College and Meredith
College. Admission to the fair was:
Adults, 75 cents and children 50 cents.
Entering the fair grounds, the
Seniors first saw the big waterfall.
Then they toured the exhibit build
<bgs. It was in the second exhibit
building that the Seniors especially
felt proud. There the Chiwan County
exhibit was shown. The exhibit was
a small community with local stores
and churches, and on the outskirts
were the farms. From these build
ings they walked across the grounds
to the swine barn. While on the way
to see the different hogs, the Seniors
saw the many displays of farm ma
chinery. From the swine barn, they
■Went into the castle barn and they
went back across the grounds to the
poultry building. The next visit was
made ' in the industry building. Re
tracing themselves, they then went to
"Ijßee the horses. While on their way
they saw the race track and viewed
the western state’s deep red clay on
it.
Having seen .all the exhibits, the
Seniors went into groups of four.
The rest of the time was mostly spent
in the amusement park. But around

3 o’clock the crowd was so thick that
people could hardly move. At 6
o’clock the group was ready to say
good-bye to the State Fair, Raleigh,
and an extremely enjoyable day, but
not to their memories of them.
The Senior Class welcomed a new
member last week. Larry Knox is
the new Senior.
The Senior Class will still be at
the concession stand Friday night at
the homecoming game with Hertford.
However, the Freshman Class will
sponsor the homecoming dance after
the game. /
Wednesday and Thursday will be
busy days for the Annual staff. Dur
ing those days the pictures will be
taken for “The Edentonian.”
Not to be left out, the Seniors had
quite a number on the honor roll this
month. They were Nancy Boswell,
Suzanne Speight, Faye Dail, Ann
Harless, Mary Dale Spry and Joyce
Webb.

Sweetest upland game bird for
many men is the common bob-white.
In New England they call him a quail
and down south he is a partridge
which is, omithologically, a little
closer to the facts. But famed na
turalist Donald Culross Peattie thinks
we should accept the bird’s own name
for himself: Bob-WHITE! Bob-bob-
WHITE! Ah, bob-white.
Some scientists believe no other
creature save man has so vast a vo
cabulary; that is, a meaningful vo
cabulary. I exclude the imitative
powers of catbirds, parrots and my
nas, and the gobbledgook of crows.
Students of the bob-white list such
phrases as the following: the food
call given by the cock bird when
bringing home the bacon; the scream
ing battle cry of the cock when an
other male takes too much interest in
his mate; the flicker-like cackle of the
male in pursuit of his love affairs;
the note of the hen that invites the
male; and a great deal of baby talk.
That ,is to say, the various notes
of the chicks —the metallic piping of
the lost chick, the childish chatter of
youngsters keeping in touch with each
other while feeding in the grass, and
the curlew-like wail of the captured
chick, a sound that brings down upon
your head a demon in feathers—the
parent bird.
All this is but a fraction of the
bob-white language, yet the sweetest

; note of all I haven’t mentioned. It’s
I that liquid, far-ranging ka-10-ee-'hee
that sounds like some Polynesian song
of welcome. Ornithologists call it
the scatter call, meaning that it calls
the scattered flock together. I would
rather call it the all-clear signal, giv
en when danger is past. It is also the
bob-white’s version of “oh, what a
beautiful morning.” *
Sometime you might be lucky
enough to hear the “whisper call”
given when danger is near but not so
close as to dictate retreat. It’s like
the cheery bob-bob-white, but so soft
it carries only a few yards. And if
you listen long qnough and know what
to listen for, you might detect the
caterwauling note that Negroes trans
literate as “falks ris way, walks dis
way.” Ornithologists say it is used
for bluffing other males.
When danger is real you’ll hear
the old birds lapping out that me
chanical message in code: to-il-ick
lick-kick over and over. Chicks are
absolutely responsive to this- for it
means that peril is right at hand.
The birds, too, are right at hand —
that’s the baffling part of this king of
all ground birds. You hear -them all
about you, the alarm cry spattering
like hail on a tin roof, but not a
feather can you see.

TUBERCULIN TESTING
In many communities throughout
the country, children entering school
for the first time are offered “tuber
culin tests,” simple skin tests to de
tect whether or not a child has tuber
culosis germs in his body.
Some parents are inclined to view
the tuberculin test with alarm, mainly
because they do not understand the
purpose of the test. They may object
because they falsely believe the tu
berculin test is harmful. Others think
that if a child’s skin reacts a certain
way, the reaction means a definite

i diagnosis of tuberculosis.
! Actually, the tuberculin test is a
' harmless 3kin sensitivity test which '
: tells only whether or not tuberculo
-1 sis germs are in a person’s body. It '
does nothing more than that. And ;
even if it shows the presence of tu- ■
1 berculcsis germs, it does not neces- i
sarily mean that the person has td- i
berculosis. It does mean the person i
has been exposed to the disease at i
some time and should have a chest |<
X-ray and other tests to find out 1
whether he has tuberculosis. ■
Tuberculin is a sterile fluid made
from the liquid in which tuberculosis <
germs were grown. When a small s
amount of the tuberculin is applied i
to or injected into the skin of a per
son who has tuberculosis germs, the
area of skin treated becomes red and
raised in about two days. This “re
action” takes place because the pres
ence of tuberculosis germs in the
body makes the tissues, including the
skin, sensitive to certain products
produced by the germs.
When there is no skin reaction it
means that the person, at the time,
does not have tuberculosis germs in

When a child reacts positively to
the tuberculin test, whether or not
he has tuberculosis, the doctor knows
that he has been in contact with a
person who has tuberculosis. Efforts
are then made to find the person
among the child’s family and associ
ates who has the disease. When he
is found, he is urged to take steps to
get prompt treatment before his dis
ease becomes more difficult to cure and
before he spreads his germs to oth
ers. •

ohould a necessity carry
a high federal tax?
Telephone service is generally considered to be a necessity.
Yet the Federal tax on long distance and other telephone
service goes as high as 25%! The tax on luxuries is only
20%. That means the necessary long distance telephone
call you may have to make in an emergency will be taxed
higher than luxuries.
And that is only part of the telephone tax picture.
Federal tax increases your local service bill by 15%. Long
distance calls of 25c or over are &xed 25%. Other forms
of telephone service are taxed from 8 to 25%. This excise
tax is imposed directly upon you as a telephone user. Your
telephone company, at its own expense, acts as a tax
collector.
These excise taxes are in addition to the corporation
income taxes and other taxes which the company pays to
the federal government either directly or indirectly.
We are sure your Senators and Representatives in Con
gress would welcome your views as a taxpayer and citizen
in helping them to guide future action on this peacetime
tax of a necessity.
