Grisette, editorial director of the Research Institute, said several factors were to blame for the low per capita income. He explained that more than three-fourths of the workers in this state are employees in indus tries with regular salaries. These in clude textiles, furniture, and tobacco.

H. Hance, president of the Institute of Textile Technology at Charlottesville, Va., the textile industry’s center for coopera tive research and education. The new fiber series, designated as T-7, is produced by reaction of or dinary cotton fiber, yam or fabric .with a chemical during a basic pro cess called cyanoethylation. By this process, cotton is transformed into a structurally different type of fiber. The resultant fiber family, T-7, re tains the appearance, “feel” artd other familiar characteristics of cotton but takes on important added properties: 1. It has permapent resistance to micro-organism attack such as mil dew and bacteria. 2. After exposure to wet and dry heat, it retains strength to a greater degree. 3. It is more receptive to all classes of dyes, including acid dyes which nor mally are unsatisfactory on cotton. Dr. Jack Compton, technical direc tor of the Institute of Textile Tech nology, who initiated and supervised the development of the T-7 series over the past three and one-half years, stated that one of the most prominent features is that T-7 products are “very versatile.” As a base material, they can be easily altered by subse quent treatments, into products hav ing ever more desirable qualities. _ “For the first time,” Dr. Compton observed, “textile manufacturers can engineer their own fibers from cot ton—using their own equipment—to meet the demands of the end prod uct. They can thus build in to a textile product many of the specific properties their customers desire.” First Traffic School At Fuquay Springs The state’s first traffic school, con ducted by the State Highway Patrol, met at Fuquay Springs last week ‘ where nearly 100 “students” review- i ed rules of the road, courtesy at the ] wheel, and safe driving. . i Originated by State Highway Pa- , trolman George Lessard, the traffic , school has received the endorsement ; of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ed ward Scheidt and Col. W. B. Lentz, , commander of the state troopers. < In the first school, held in Fuqay ; Springs, traffic law violators and a number of volunteers heard James E. Civils, special representative of the Department of Motor Vehicles give a ; statistical breakdown of last year’s traffic deaths and their causes. He ■ was followed by Patrolman Lessard, who reviewed motor vehicle law's and showed a pedestrian safety film tc the group. Sgt. Dick Chadwick, of Wake County, introduced the speak ers and commented briefly on the aims and purposes of the school. Visitors must attend three consecu tive classes and pass a written exami nation at the conclusion of the last class. In return they will receive an attractively designed certificate au thoribed by the Highway Patrol. Tentative plans call for the estab lishment of similar traffic schools throughout the state, according to Sgt. Chadwick. Cotton Research Saves Five Million Dollars r A new type of cotton bandage de veloped at the Southern Regional Re search Laboratory last year saved the Federal Treasury more than $5 million —enough to pay for all re search on cotton done in the big New Orleans laboratory in the past five years. The armed services thus far have bought more than 13 million band ages. They cost about 26 cents each, . 1 THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1963.

It can be used on elbows and knees without hin dering movement or stopping blood circulation. It does not work loose as the bandaged arm or leg is used. The improved bandage is made from chemically treated cotton fabric. Its development took three years and cost about $75,000. Fish Story Mess Sergeant: “You’re not eating your fish.

Each of us hates to think about our i children growing up and leaving home, but as long as our children are i living at home, we should try lo make i their living as pleasant and harmoni : ous as possible. “Just what will our children re member about home when they leave?” asks Corinne Justice Grims ! ley, State College Extension specia list in family relations. “Will they remember helping to plan the work that needed to be done ? . Will they remember that we often confided in them and asked their ad vice on family matters? Or will they remember that they weren’t actually a contributing member of the family —decisions were made without their particiaption ? “What will your children remember about- the good times they’ve had at home?” continues Mrs. Grimsley. “Will Thanksgiving and Christmas bring memories of fctmily reunions and good times together? Will they retnember mealtime as a happy time when the whole family sat down to gether? Or will they remember it as a run-and-go affair? “What will they remember about family worship ? Will they remember that the blessing was always asked before meals? And will they think of Sunday when the whole family went to Church and worshipped together? Is Sunday a kind of ‘family day’ to them? “What will your children remember about you ? Will they remember that you praised them for the things they did well and thanked them for their help? Will they remember that when they were discouraged that they could turn to you for encouragement ? ” KITCHEN COMMENT Make the skin of baked sweet po tatoes soft by rubbing a little mar garine in them before baking.
