SOU CONSERVATION NEWS By JAMES H. GRIFFIN, Soil Cwiawfiimtal. r Are you a coopera'tor of 'the Albemarle Soil Conservation District? If you are not, here are some of the things you will' be missing. First, a soil survey] {reap of your farm. The Soil! Conservation Service furnishes] your district with a trained soil scientist, Ed Karnowski, who, prepares these maps. Each soil found on the farm is listed ac cording to name, capability and treatment needed. Another service offered through your district is trained technicians to assist you in planning the needed soil and Water conservation practice on your farm. These technicians are engineers, agronomists, biol ogists, foresters and others you might need in preparing your conservation plan. The future is for those who prepare for it. After you have prepared your conservation plan, the district famishes you the needed tech nical assistance to carry out the plan. New practices or neces sary changes are made as need ed in your conservation plan. Your conservation district was established by you, the land-1 owners, Within the district. It was established under state law, N. C. district law 1937, and is a subdivision of state govern ment. Officers, District Super visors, are elected by landown ers once a year to run the dis trict and carry out the purpose of the district soil conservation service. m> i i mmammmmmmmrnmmmtmi SENATOR A SAM ERVIN • SAYS * Washington The Subcom-, mittee on Constitutional Rights! recently heard expert testimony j on the constitutional rights of the mentally ill. The hearings demonstrated that our hopes, were well founded that new ; light would be cast upon a 1 problem that has become one of the most neglected areas of the law. My observation as; Chairman of this Subcommittee i is that after further study has| been made of the testimony of 1 eminent psychiatrists, attorneys, and mental hospital superin-1 tendents, it is altogether pos sible that an enlighted revision of the statutes governing the | mentally ill may be made. Sen-! PICTURE OF A MAN WHO MADE A DECISION... ABOUT WHICH FERTILIZER TO USE "A decision is hard to make if the outcome is uncertain.” Does this.ever apply to you and your efforts to decide upon which fertilizer to use? It does not if you are a Robertsons Proven Fertilizer customer because you "know from your experience, and the experience of thousands of other good farmers,"the results you get in the field will pay over and over the cost of the fertilizer. You also know that fertilizer is the most inexpensive item in the production of your crops and you want the best it just makes sense. W you’re not like the man in this picture certain of which fertilizer to use call your Robertsons dealer now, today ... he’ll show you the proven way to better profits with Robertsons Proven Fertilizers.

Webb, Jr. See these men if you wish to receive the service available through your soil conservation district. ator Alexander Wiley, a mem ber of the subcommittee, aptly stated at the opening of the hearings: “The investigation per tains directly to the rights of a tremendous segment of the population. This indeed is the first time that the Congress of the United States has under taken to look into the legal as pects of mental illness.” The hearings brought forth statis tics showing that “over 250,000 people are committed to mental institutions each year,” and that “over one-half of the hospital beds of the entire country are devoted to the care of the men tally ill.” Legislation Summary Presi- - THE CHOWAN HERALD,-EPEHTOKr NORTH THTOSPAT, APMLU. I|tl. dent Kennedy and the Congress have accomplished much during the first eleven weeks of the new Administration. The early part of Congress was concern ed with the election of leader ship, the filling of committee vacancies, and the disposition of rules procedure. Following this the Senate has passed the De pressed Areas bill, the Tem porary Unemployment Benefits act, the Sugar Act Extension, the Feed Grains ‘Program, the OECD Treaty ratification, the Reorganization Act, and the Federal Judgeships bill. All of these bills have gone' to the President except the Federal Judgeships .measure which at the date of this writing has been reported by the House Committee for consideration by the House, and the Depressed Areas bill which is in a Senate- House , conference to iron out differences in the Senate and House versions of the bill. The Congress has thus far enacted four of the 16 measures for which the President has asked priority action. Five other bills halve been passed in one or the other halls of Congress. Foodhandlers School Planned April 25-27 Plans for a foodhandlers schools to be held April 25, 26 and 27 in the Pasquotank Coun ty Agricultural Building, are announced by K. J. Eyer and D. G. Brown, sanitarians of the District Health Department. The school which will cover three days will be sponsored by Pas quotank - Perquimans - Camden- Chowan County restaurant op erators, the State and local Health Departments. This school, restaurant opera tors and health officials believe, is the answer to the untrained personnel problem and will act as a refresher course for the foodhandler having years of ser vice. This will help both the employee and the employer to provide better services which the public demand and are en titled to. This short course of instruction, using films, lec tures, demonstrations, exhibits and discussions will give the essential facts about sanitation, which should be observed ait all times and in all public eating places. Invitations will be ex tended to foodhandlers employ ed in restaurants, soda foun tains, school cafeterias, hospi tals, nursing homes, private clubs, colleges, persons interest ed in summer employment at beaches, private maids, etc. Some years ago most people ate three meals a day at their own tables. Some who were DOUBLE TROUBLE ldentical twins Randy and Ricky Jones, of Dallas, Tex., fell into double trouble after Christ mas. Each was trying out a new set of roller skates. Within an hour each had broken his arm. wage earners or school children carried a lunch prepared at home. For most folks, however, to “eat out” was an event fill ed with excitement. Now life is different. The lunch pail gathers dust on the closed shelf, and even mama, grandma and the baby go out to dinner. The day of public lack of in terest in sanitation is practically a thing of the past, health of ficials point out. Restaurant op erators realize that patrons who are impressed by restau rant cleanliness will return time after time to surroundings which please their optics as well as their palates. What does better foodhandling mean in terms of community benefits? First, it means better foodhand ling personnel efficiency. Sec ond, safer foodhandling assures stronger barriers to safeguard the community health. Third, a better foodhandling service cre ates a bigger and better com munity business. Interest in what goes into the mouth of the general public has increased and the man in the street is being educated to be lieve that he doesn’t have to eat “living dirt”. “Perhaps 90% of all infections are taken into the body through the mouth. They reach the mouth in water, food, fingers, dust and upon the innumerable objects that are I sometimes placed in the mouth,” I -Schenleu RESERVE | SOSO Iflilfc $095 PINT .
