HEALTH FOR ALL |
Understanding the Aged
It is a rare family these days that
does not have at least one aged mem
her, often living in the home with the
younger generations. This situation
can be a happy one for all concerned
if the normal results of aging are un
derstood.
The wisdom of experience, wealth of |
memories, and keenness of thought
are not lessened by the physical ef
fects of age, and they can and should
contribute much to the richness of
family life. Arteries do harden and
the cells they supply with nourish
ment may fail to function as in youth.
This may cause some problems in the
family, but they should not be al
lowed to cancel out the important con
tributions older people can make.
They should be seen for what they
are: side issues, annoyances to which
adjustment can be made.
Every person has his own way of
showing age. The arteries that sup
ply different parts of the brain wear
out at different times and to different
extents. But some changes are com
mon to everyone. The first is usually
loss of ability to make new permanent

Poultrymen Can Boost
Profit By Cutting Costs
The smart businessman is constantly
seeking new methods of efficiency in
order to cut costs and thereby increase
his margin of profit. The same is,
true, of the North Carolina poultry
man.
R. S. Dearstyne, head of the depart-!
ment of poultry science, N. C. State I
College, says that while Tar Heelj
poultrymen have made great strides
in putting efficiency into the poultry]
business, there are still a number of i
opportunities. Among the more prom-;
inent are these: |
1. Reducing the number of culls in
flocks. It is estimated that cull chick-'
I ens in North Carolina consume $400,-
' 000 worth of feed each month (near-]
ly $5,000,000 annually). Dearstyne l
thinks many poultrymen, especially,
the small flock owner, take this mat-]
ter too lightly. It is a situation thatj
the individual flock owner can handle,'
if he will.
2. Reducing feed wastage. Between!
overfilled feed hoppers, improperly]
constructed hoppers, rats and mice, I
and improper storage of feed, the val
ue of feed lost in North Carolina]
amounts to about $2,500,000 each year,
says Dearstyne. This again is a
problem of the individual poultryman.

plus—engineering and manufacturing so fine
and sound that Pontiac is world-famous for
dependability and all-around economy.
Total all that, add the fact of Pontiac’s close
to-the-lowest price and this answer comes up:
Here’s all you’ve ever wanted for the least
you’ll ever pay. Come in soon to see and

If he will attack this problem vigor- ]
ously and follow through on a “feed \

3. Reducing the poultry mortality |*
rate. Mortality in chicken and turkey I
flocks cost North Carolina farmers 1
about $5,000,000 each year. While j
medicants can be used with success 1
in some instances, this procedure is not]]
the final answer, says Dearstyne. The
annual loss caused by mortality could
