The Polynesians have a ritual which, they believe, invests the ordi nary hen’s egg with the power to fore tell coming events. It may seem strange to revere the egg for the mys tical power it could not have, but] there’s nothing strange about respect-1 ing the egg for the great nutritional! power it does have, states the Poul try and Egg National Board. “The egg,” says the Board, “contains all the amino acids necessary to growth, vigor and body maintenance. It is helpful in maintaining good health from infancy to old age.” Eggs are perishable and will de teriorate rapidly in warm weather unless given the proper care. Time, temperature and humidity are the three most important factors in con serving egg quality. The tempera- Marine Distributors, Inc. Highway 17 Edenton, N. C.

A good egg management program will help to prevent a loss in quality, j Stained or dirty egs are unattrac- ' tive and usually bring less when sold. Dirty eggs also spoil more quickly | than clean eggs. A little time spent : in producing clean eggs will more than save the time spent cleaning soiled ones. ) Eggs should be gathered three to five times a day in wire baskets and 1 then cooled quickly. When the eggs ;cool they should be placed in pre cooled cases or other containers. ! When you qat an egg you get pro ! terns, vitamins and minerals to build; firm muscles, red blood and strong! bones and teeth. The egg yolk is especially rich in ! blood-building iron. All food studies' made in North Carolina show that | most people need to eat more blood j building foods. One egg a day is a j good rule to follow —or at least eat I four or five a week.

The idea was advanced to buy a new fire truck, not elaborate, hut carrying a certain amount of water to he dis- j tributed under high pressure, as well as facilities to pump water from available sources. The idea Was to place this truck somewhere near the, center of the county, probably at Cross Roads and have volunteers who could answer calls. W. J. Yates, assistant Edenton fire chief, stated that he thought such a truck will cost between $6,000 and ] $7,000. Mr. Yates also urged rural I citizens to construct wells or holes | near their homes so that water is eas-, ily available. Os course, a building would be re quired to house the truck. It was also pointed out that the first year’s out lay would be the greatest, for after the truck is purchased the only ex pense would be rent for the building housing the truck as well as main tenance costs and supplies. The belief was also expressed that with this fire protection property owners would realize a saving in fire insurance rates, possibly enough to THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, N. C.. THURSDAY.

When this ( representative comes to the county, and completes his investigation, an other meeting of the Fire Commission , will be called by Chairman Bond.

Farmers To See Two New Soybean Varieties j Chowan County farmers who at-. ! tend a special field day at the Tide ! water Experiment Station near Ply ! mouth Wednesday, September 15, will see two of the most outstanding soy | bean varieties yet developed, i Astor Perry, Nickels for Know- How peanut specialist, says the two new varieties, Lee and Jackson, have many of the characteristics long sought by soybean producers in this area. Lee in particular has been outstand ing in yield, shatter-resistance and j resistance to most of the common soy bean diseases. Jackson has combined the qualities of the Volstate and Pal metto varieties, giving a tail plant high in yield. The Lee variety is well adapted to the Ogden area and the Jackson va | riety to the Roanoke area. Perry be lieves that Lee will eventually replace! Ogden and that Jackson will partially replace the Roanoke variety. Both of these varieties were devel-' oped by the USDA at the North Ca-i rolina and Mississippi Experiment f Stations and represent many years of, testing under various conditions. The Jackson variety has been in commer cial production by certified seed grow ers for two years and next year’s seed | supply should be adequate. Lee, however, was not released until this! spring and will not be available in ! any volume until next year's crop is! harvested. One of the most outstanding char acters of Lee is pod-shatter resist- Salesman Wanted Spell backward.

If you are tired of pounding the brick for peanuts, come in and be interviewed for a job that pays $5,000 to $40,000 per year, depending upon the effort you are willing to exert. Interview will be held at the Cherry Hotel in Wilson, N. C.. from 1 to 9 P. M., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this and next week. Invest half an hour of your time for the job of a life-time.
