SECTION ONE— Removal Os Water i From Land Claims: Farmers’ Attention j Several Drainage Pro jects Completed In County ! Farmers of the Chowan Work Unit of the Albemarle Soil Conservation District have been busv in racent weeks with the application of soil and water conservation practices to their farms.

Byrum, a farmer of the Ryland Community has recently com pleted the digging of a dragline di-, version ditch. Colbert’s new ditch will intercept vast quatities of woods water and divert to a swamp outlet. j Approximately 25 acres of newly-1 cleared land will not now be subjected j to water logging with each rain. Colbert plans to improve the drain- j age condition of one or two bottom areas with the use of tile. C. B. White, a farmer of the Cen ter Hill community, also dug a short j diversion ditch to protect several acres of his good Bear Swamp land from be- j ing flooded -by woods water. White | is leading this excess water through j a system of dragline ditches to the Bear Swamp Drainage System which 1 was dug several years ago with the 1 assistance of the Soil Conservation Service. B. P. Monds, another farmer of thej Center Hill commmunity, has just completed the excavation of two drag line ditches.

I : k SCIENCE M ! ondvour./ I PHH PROPER POSTURE By Science Features “Stop slouching and stand straight,” is excellent advice often given to children with poor posture. Undue stress is put on muscles and weight-bearing joint surfaces by incorrect carriage. This can lead to fatigue and pain that may result in muscular tightness and a limita tion of motion. Deformities are often found dur ing routine physical examinations, Sf —- - according to Dr. f*) John G. Kuhns . 'of Boston Uni- versity. A child c *has normal pos <l ture if the head i\ is balanced over i' the torso with - 71 out any forward j or backward dis . placement, the chest projects further forward than any other portion of the body, the spine has ! proper curvature, the stomach does not protrude and the shoulders do I not stoop. If the chest is out. the doctor ! says, the shoulders cannot be rounded since the same muscles control both. If the stomach is pulled in, knock-knees and "duck” feet are unlikely to occur. The i common deformities result when one or more correct posture habits are not in effect. Posture should be taught to chil dren when the youhgster begins to stand and walk. The child should understand what he is doing wrong and should get a full explanation and examples of proper posture, the doctor added. If corrective ex ercises are necessary, they should be given by a doctor to develop co ordination and balance in the mus cles as well as an awareness of good carriage. j Senior Hi-Light ! BY JANE YOUNT ; Here iam again. Seems to me that ' you all would get tired of me week af ter week, and maybe some of you do. | Anyway, here I am, bringing you the lives of two of our charming seniors. First let’s review Miss Betty Chris-; I tine Harris, better known as Mickey.- Mickey was born April 20. 1934 and; I is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Harris of Route 2. Mickey's favorite likes are any kind of music, movies | an,d eating. She had a hard time • choosing her favorite food (as she 1 , likes all food) hut finally settled for fried chicken. She loves to cook and 1 satisfied her elf I>y joining the school's FHA Club. Mickey’s not sure where she is going to work after graduation but she does know she is going to work. Personally, I believe she would make a better wife for some, lucky follow. And our senior boy is Master Ted Richard Wright who. prefers to he called “Kart”. Kart is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Wright of -iOfi East Queen Street. Kart is a member of the Monogram Club and has been for J three years. And a mighty active I member I might add. His favorite j likes are sports, hunting, fishing, j I dancing and eating. This latter con firmed by the fact that it is better not to have any chocolate cake within ten miles of him as he goes stark, raving mad over it. Ted plans to enter the Naval Air Force one year after grad-1 uation and there will be some very sad Edenton and Chowan girls after he | leaves.
