1960 is expected to continue in

I ‘The continuing and persist- 1
ent upward trend in production i
is one of the central facts in I
the current agricultural situa
, tion and outlook*” USDA’s Bush
| rod W. Allin reported to the
conference. Allin added that
i “heavy supplies will continue
the dominant feature in the ag
ricultural situation next year.”
As to the longer term out
look, USDA’s Sherman Johnson
pointed out that “unless more
effective programs are develop
ed, farmers will be faced with
a continuing income squeeze in
the next five years. With aver
age weather, annual farm pro
duction will continue to exceed
axailable outlets at 1959 prices,
whioh would mean that stocks of
surplus products would become
even larger.” <

Serious Crime In United States
At All Time High Says FBI Head
Attorney General William P.
I Rogers has released FBI crime
statistics for 1959 which were
* reported to him by FBI Director
j J. Edgar Hoover.
I Mr. Hoover announced that
serious crimes in the United
States nave reached an all-time
high. Over one and one-half
million serious offenses were
committed in 1959. Although
serious crimes as a group in
creased only one percent last
year over 1958, killers, assail
ants, rapists, robbers, burglars
and assorted thieves committed
69 percent more serious crimes
in 1959 than they committed in
1950 and 128 percent more such
offenses than were committed in
1940. Already in the first half
of 1960 the FBI reports a sharp
rise of nine percent in serious
crimes is indicated nationally.
Immediate prospects for a change
in the trend are dim inasmuch
as the FBI crime calendar re
i veals the nation is approaching
! the most crime-ridden month,
December.
“This ominous rise in crime j
j cannot be explained away as
ibeing due to population increas
es,” Director Hoover said.
“Crime has been rising four
times as fast as population. Un
i less positive steps are taken to
check this rising crime trend,
this country will face a crime
problem of emergency propor
tions in the years ahead.
“The seriousness of the ju
venile delinquency problem is
pinpointed by the disproportion
ately large involvement of young
peoplb in certain crimes. In
auto theft, persons under 18
years of age made up 64 per
cent of all arrests. They repre
sented 52 percent of the persons
arrested for burglary while 49
percent of the arrests for larceny
and 26 percent of the arrestsi

of Navy men headed by Captain
C. E. Rosendanl, was in Edenton
in the interest of locating a
555.000.000 naval station for
lighler-lhan-air craft.
Mrs. J. N. Pruden, Chairman
of the Chowan County Red Cross
Chapter, reported $382.07 collect
ed in the annual Red Cross roll
call, which passed the previous
year’s mark.
Mrs. Julien Wood, Sr., Chair-!
man for Bundles for Britain,
made another appeal for contri
butions, pointing out the im
portance of helping a country
battling alone for those things
valued more than life itself.
Chowan County list takers
were asked to attend a .meeting
of the County Commissioners for
the purpose of explaining the
county's revaluation set-up in
order to get all taxnayers on an
equal basis and to put all real
estate, personal property and
polls on the books.
"Golgotha," the first and only
talking picture ever made of the
famous Passion Play was pre-!
senled in the high school audi-j
torium under the sponsorship of
the Edenton Rotary Club. ,
A musical revue was presented
in the high school auditorium
for the benefit of a band uni- 1
form fund. Fea'ures of the pro- i
gram were a dance team com
posed of Jimmy and Marjorie
Weathers and a colored quartet
in charge of Emma Foreman.
Mrs. Richard Elliott, due to
illness in her family, resigned as
president of the Edenton Parent-
Teacher Association.
Fifty more questionnaires were
sent to registrants in the selec

Your three-year-old may be
eating something now which can!
make him seriously sick next,
summer. Thai "something” is
■ ’ead. Children under five often :
take in a good deal of lead, with j
no symptoms that mother notices I
for months. For some reason
which nobody clearly under
stands yet, the youngsters de
velop obvious symptoms mostly
after they have been exposed to I
hot sunlight.
Most modern indoor paint con-j
tains very little lead. But ifi
your house is twenty years old,
or so, there may be many under- i
layers of lead-containing paint;
on woodwork, walls and ceiling. ]
Many children eat crumbling,
pieces of plaster and flakes of :
peeling paint, chew the j
paint off window sills.
Though you can buy indoor!
paint with little or no lead in it, |
outdoor paint is still lead-loaded. |
So don’t ever be tempted to use I
exterior paint for an interior;
job. Repair crumbling plaster, 1
scrape and repaint flaking sur
faces. And try to stop baby
from chewing on the woodwork.
It is not harmless, as many par
ents seem to think.
If lead poisoning is discover-,
ed too late, it »can mean death
or permanent damage to the
brain and nervous system. Watch
for such symptoms as lack of;
appetite, abdominal cramps, I
vomiting, pallor, irritability,"
drowsiness, lack of coordination.
Take the baby to a doctor im
mediately if any one of these
signs appear. Lead poisoning
can be cured only if it is dis
covered early and treated by an
expert.
