Religion Classes At St. Aim * Saint Ann’s School of Re ligion will resume classes on •S Sunday, October 4, under the . detection of three Dominican Sisters from Elizabeth City. Graded classes for children of various ages will be formed, teachers assigned 'and instruc tion begun after the 11 o’clock Sunday. The noon hour was chosen because of conflict with the Sisters’ schedule. Be sides conducting St. Elizabeth’s school in Elizabeth City during the' week, the Sisters also give religious instruction to a large group from outlying areas on Sunday morning in Elizabeth City before coming to Edanton. The importance of religious instruction is more evident than 1 ever from the evils resulting i from lack of re-igious training. Dapraved public and private morals, delinquency of parents and children, religious indiffer ence and decadence of family ■life, loss of the virtues of hon esty, industry, respect for au tflbrity, can: all be traced to the lack of religious training. The religion classes at noon each Sunday at St. Ann’s are not limited to member s only but sjncere conscientious par ents who feel the need of sound religious instruction and moral guidance for their children are welcome to enroll their children.

TOY 4 j*era£d classified I I AIJi>TMKYI I ■ j j-’iy» Edenton ] ■p A " , H I IMjf Standard Os free World Rising , Country After Coun -1 try doing Into More Discretionary Type Os Spending Living standards have shown a significant rise throughout the major part of the Free World in recent years, according 'to data compiled by the United Nations Organization on consumer spend ing patterns and their changing composition in various countries between 1950 and 1957. What stands out particularly is i an increase in the proportion of consumer expenditures that, in I one country after another, has been going into the more discre tionary type of spending, such as transportation and personal serv ices, as compared with the basic necessities of food, shelter and clothing. The United States was in the lead in this respect, with the proportion in the latest fig ures rising to 34 per cent. But more outstanding was the extent of the rise in certain other coun tries from 1950 to 1957,- such as from 19 to 28 per cent in Japan, 18 to 24 per cent in France, and 16 to 21 per cent in Austria. Indication of Savings Growth The trend suggests that the potentials for personal saving have likewise gone up with ris ing living standards in the Free World. An indication of a t growth in thrift is provided by! life insurance ownership, which ’ has shown a worldwide increase j in recent years, in many coun tries exceeding the rate of gain in the United States. A breakdown of the figures on the proportions of consumer spending going to basic necessi ties shows some uniform pat- j terns. In the majority of the principal countries, the percent age of total spending going for food has declined, in 9ome cases substantially. All the countries show a downtrend in the propor tion going to clothing, while in most cases, there has been an ’ uptrend in the percentage, going to shelter. The litter classifica tion includes utilities and house hold expense as well as rent. The figures likewise show wide differences in liying pat-! terns from one -country to an-' other, as is expected from'' variations in income, price and* tax trends, climate ,and custom. In the case of food, for example, the range in 1957 was from a low of .29 per sentjpf totaUcorv sumer sxpaWditures ‘in the %nit ed States to a high of 57 per cent in Italy. Factor in Food Bill The food classification includes expenditures for tobacco and al coholic beverages, and this was an important factor in the rela tive size of the food bill in a number of countries. The high est such proportion was in the United Kingdom, with 15 per cent, or a third of expenditures in the food classification repre sented by tobacco and alcoholic beverages in 1957. Austria, Italy, France and Sweden also were relatively high in this respect, whereas the latest proportion for : the United States was only 5 per cent, the lowest on the list. ‘ 'jOL low Too Can Look To: dsPMSPORTS SPECIALTIES m mßSmMuin /) tflSnt 8 10 north broad street edenton, n. c. \l Mm—i *-»i~~~-nrmni — j so« (A t (A -r£i WW jimojrs i come inand see why we’re so pleased to have the famous Doris Dodson Dresses!

State College Are you getting the benefits from your vegetable garden that you should? If we assume that ia garden is desirable from the | standpoint of economy and nu j trilional value, are you using recommended varieties, fertilizer and cultural practices? Let’s see what a recent survey in a west ern county reveals. Seventy families were inter viewed and asked questions I about ten vegetables which are considered to be the mot popu lar for home gardens. This is! the story: Only 44 of the 70 families had vegetable gardens; Irish potatoes and tomatoes were the most popular vegetables grown; only a small percentage 'planted strawberries (25 percent) and lima beans (5 per cent); most families did not use rec ommended varieties; the same was true for recommended fer , tilizers; other advised practices | were not followed by a large ! number of the families inter fviewed. - I There is no way of telling how typical these results are when compared with other rural communities, but I suspect that this local situation is not unique if data were available from oth er areas. To me this situation brings into sharp focus the wealth of information available to rural and urban people, in the whole field of agricultural endeavor.! and the puny use that is made of it. Have we reached the: point where we only want to be The Netherlands with nearly a sixth of consumer expenditures going to clothing led all other countries in this respect. The lowest such proportion, 8 per j cent, was in Japan. Belgium was high in the share of con sumer spending on shelter with 31 per cent in 1957, and Italy was low with 11 per cent. j 1 helped and do nothing to help tj ourselves? Maybe so, but I am 1 1 not ready to accept this. ! i Sweet potatoes need lots of potash and this is generally true ■ for all of the root crops. ;Re cent tests made on Norfolk : loamy sand showed that yields ■ per acre varied from fifty bush els on the no-potash plots to as - high as three hundred and fifty ; on the high potash plots. In ad ; dition to the higher yields, the . quality of the potatoes was bet s! ter. These tests were conduct - I : ed on low potash soils.
