In a northern college town a pro fessor was approached by a bootblack. “Shine, sir?”, asked the boy. The professor looked at the boy’s dirty face in disguest, and said, “I don’t want a shine, but if you’ll go wash your face, I’ll give you a dime.” The boy raced to a nearby fountain and returned looking much cleaner. “Well, boy,” exclaimed the profes sor, “you’ve earned your dime. Here it is.” “I don’t want your dime, mister,” the boy grinned, “you hang on to it and buy yourself a haircut.” throughout the State. Officers of the group are: President T. L.

There was a young man who grew a moustache that appeared affected to some. Be cause of his brilliance in his profes sion where he ranked with older men it was best for him to appear older— and the moustache added years to his appearance.

At the close of the registration per iod 820 students were enrolled in the college, an increase of 9 per cent over the enrollment for the same period last year. These are from 69 coun ties of North Carolina, 18 states, and from 6 other countries and territor ies. Weekly Devotional] Column By James Mackenzie **— In the UN recently, Andrei Vishin sky, delegate from the Soviet Union, indulged in one of those tempermen tal outbursts which in recent years have become so characteristic of Rus sian diplomats. When the time came for our delegate, Henry Cabot Lodge, to answer him, Mr. Lodge observed simply, “The delegate from Russia has just missed another great oppor tunity in his life to keep quiet.” | A shred observation, I’m thinking; | and Mr. Lodge might just as well have | directed it to some of his fellow coun trymen. For all of us are humans, and as humans we seem to have a ten dency to talk much too much. The Bible says that man has been able to tame all manner of beasts, but he has been unable to tame the tongue. l In the words of Sir Harry Lauder, “We often say just what we think, but don’t think what we say.” The Bible compares the tongue to a flame, set on fire by hell; and just as a small flame can kindle a great matter, so the sins of the tongue, slander, falsehood, cursing, are im possible to control, but get out of hand, and spread, and consume and destroy. For example, it is impos sible to tell a single lie, as most of us have found out by bitter experi ence. We tell one lie, then tell an s 4 * 69.95 GENUINE Uuo-Therm Radiant Circulator FUEL Oil HEATER ■ Exclusive Duo-Therm Dual Chamber Burner—gets more heat from every drop of oil. • Special Watte Stopper—buil* into every Duo-Therm.

This same is true of gossip. The story is told of the woman who went to her confessor to confess the sin of gossip. He told her to buy a pound of grass seed and throw it into the wind as her pentance. “The old boy is letting me off easy this time,” she thought as she did as he had told her. Sometime later, however, the same woman returned to the same confessor, to confess the same sin. “This time,” he said, “you must root up all the grass that is growing as a result of the seed you threw into the wind.” Just so, slanderous gossip grows and spreads until it becomes all out of control, and it is impossible to make amends for the harm done, for the truth never catches up with the lie. As the old poem goes: “A word is dead When it is said,” Some say. I say, “It just begins to live That day.” And in the words of our Saviour, “Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account there of in the day of judgment (Matthew , 12:36).

Since the sweet potato is a tropical plant it will continue to grow as long as weather conditions are favorable, or if the vines are allowed to grow until killed by frost many of the po tatoes. may be oversize, o/jumbos. It is better to dig the crop as soon as the majority of the roots are of the most desirable size. Digging should be done as carefully as possible so that there is a mini mum amount of cutting and bruising. It is often said that sweet potatoes should be handled like eggs. That is an exaggeration of course, but it is a fact that where the skin of the po tato is bruised a hard spot will de velop. Also, there is a chance that the potato may rot in storage if the bruise or cut is not properly healed. Grading should be done in the field and the potatoes picked up in the con tainers in which they are to be stor ed. Bushel baskets and slatted crates are satisfactory storage containers. For 10 days to two weeks sweet potatoes should be stored at a curing temperature of 85 degrees F. with about 85 per cent humidity. After, the curing period the temperature j should be allowed to drop to about 55 1 Page Eleven degrees F. for the remainder of the storage period. At no time should the temperature fall below 40 de grees F. Sweet potatoes should not be handled during storage. Handling will promote rotting. If any potatoes are to be sold, the entire containers should be removed, regraded and not put back in storage. Tobacco bams have been used suc cessfully for storing sweet potatoes. However, they are not well insulated and the temperatures must be care fully checked during cold weather. Storage houses built especially for sweet potatoes are more efficient. In formation about sweet potato storage and storage houses may be obtained from your county agent or from the Department of Agricultural Informa tion, N. C. State College, Raleigh.
