Two Kindt Os Divorce
Are there two kinds of di
vorces granted by the courts of
North Carolina?
Yes. The two kinds of di
vorces are absolute divorces and
divorces from bed and board.
All absolute divorce dissolves
the marital relation and re
leases the parties wholly from
their matrimonial obligations to
each 'other. Either or both of
the parties may immediately en
et irfto a valid marriage with
ome other person. i
A divorce from bed and board
lerfely suspends the effect of
larfiage as to cohabitation but
oes not otherwise affect the
larfiage. The relation of hus
and and wife is not tefm
lated. i „
‘ Divorces from bed and board
re sometimes called “limited
ivorces” and are really nothing
lore than judicial separation!.)
hey are not as common as ab
>lute divorces. A number, o'
totes do not grant them.
Most of the benefits of a di
jorce from bed and board may
Be obtained by support proceed
v Permanent alimony canned b'

Carolina in connection with ar
Absolute divorce. But in cor
sin instances a decree of abso

' rith a divorce from bed ah'

ind board
. Frequently when a husband
saes his wife for an absolute
aivofee, the wife will set up r
cross-action for divorce frorr
bed and board and request per
manent alimony for her separ
site maintenance.

both an absfthrte divorce and a
limited divorce. If so, it is op
tional with her as to whether
she will sue for an absolute di
vorce or a limited divorce. If
she elects the latter, she usu
ally requests permanent ali
mony for separate support.
In first obtaining a limited
divorce, the wife invokes only
a portion of the full measure of
redress available to her. Her
first choice of a limited divorce
is not a bar to a subsequent
;suit for absolute divorce. The
injured spouse merely retains
unused the privilege of ob
taining an absolute divorce and
expresses a temporary willing
ness to live in a marital sep
aration.
** * *
May a husband obtain an ab
solute divorce from a wife who
has obtained against him a di
vorce from bed apd board?
He may if he proves that he
has a ground that constitutes a
cause for absolute divorce. He
is not barred merely because
his wife has previously been
successful in obtaining against
him a divorce from bed and
board. ■ ;. (•

Potato Heads List
Os Favorite Food
Os all the vegetables our food
, markets offer, the potato has
■ long been the favorite. For the
money spent on them, potatoes '
give a high return in food
rnlue.
Best quality potatoes are
p irm, smooth and well shaped.
Miss Virginia Wilson, nutrition
pecialist for the N. C. Agricul- ,
ural Extension Service, says’
hat potatoes should be free,
rom cuts; blemishes and deeey. '
Avoid potatoes that show
ireen color on some part of the
urface because green portions
iave a bitter taste. For the
east waste in paring, select po
tatoes that are regular in shape
»nd have shallow eyes.
Most homemakers like me
lium-size potatoes best for gen
eral use. It’s easy to estimate
■portions with potatoes Os this
size, and there is less waste in
paring.
Store potatoes in a cool, dark
ilace for best keeping and
ooking quality.

FHA Fluids Available
For Watershed Work
Watershed improvement dis
tricts lacking sufficient funds
to get their programs under
way, Mnd unable to borrow from
other established sources, may
qualify ter Farmers Home Ad
ministration loans.
Funds will be available for
any legitimate purpose other
than recreation or maintenance.
Under national legislation,
coupled with recent action by
the North Carolina General As
sembly, Tar Heel watershed im
provement districts are eligible
to use federal appropriations in,
the cohstruction of small dams
and clearance "W stream chan
nels.
According to Bryce Younts,
administrative officer, N. C.
State Soil Conservation Com
mittee, hundreds of small dams
forming lakes from five to 25
acres are likely to be built in
North Carolina during the next
decade.
Ypunts declared the small
watershed program “is a big
step toward solving North Caro
lina’s flood problem in key
areas ...”
Drainage districts throughout
Eastern North Carolina, which
will also receive federal appro
priations for flood control, will
be able to borrow FHA funds
too—with the same limitation as
watershed improvement districts.
The small watershed program
in North Carolina is moving for
ward at a rapid clip, declared
Younts. Contracts ter the first
dam to be built under the pro-j
gram are expected to be let in
the near fufure. They call for!
a medium-sized dam on Deep
Creek in Yadkin. County.
Contracts for clearing the
channel of Fblley Ditch in Gates
County will also be let in the
near future, said Younts.

Swine Prices Expected I
To Reach Peak tnJuly
Try to top market hogs by
July 15.
That’s the advice from J. R.
Woodard, animal 'husbandry spe
cialist at N. C. State College.
If prices follow their normal
trend, Woodard says hog prices
Should be near their seasonal
peak by July 15. Prices are then
expected to trend downward and
will probably be weak threugh-

Farmers might want to consider
selling pigs farrowed from now
through summer as feeder pigs,
Woodard said. He also said that
how is a good time to bull old,
heavy sows; and gilts that do not
produce large litters of thrifty
pigs.
