PAGE SIX —SECTION TWO New Geography Os North Carolina Is Just Off Press Volume 111 Carries In formation About 26 Counties Which In cludes Chowan ' The third volume of “A New Geography, of North Carolina,” by Bill Sharpe, . publisher and editor of The State Magazine, is off the press. Containing 565 pages, and pro fusely illustrated, a feature of the volume is a thoroughban and departmentalized index, making the contents readily available when used for reference. It is published by the Sharpe Pub lishing Co., Inc., of Raleigh at $6.00. Although titled “a geography,” this work, like the preceding ones, actually is a description of 26 North Carolina counties, and included also history, current development, and most of each county’s best known anecdotes, folklore and legends. Sharpe commenced work on “A New Geography” in Sep tember of 1951, and in 10 years has almost reached the three quarter mark toward covering the whole state. The current volume brings to 72 the num ber of counties treated, and Vol ume IV. with 28 counties, will conclude the series. Sharpe says he hopes to have this ready within the next three or four years. Completion of the work, he thinks, will mark the first time any state has been describ ed county by county with so >^ dim JOE THORUD SAYS: A NEW JDEA FOR A NEW ERA JUST ONE LIFE INSURANCE PLAN COVERS Pt DAD J 0 up to S!5 r nn ° of life insurance.

The Christian family is an | oasis of individual concern in I the desert of an impersonal so ciety. Few, if any, privileges 1 compare with the sharing of joy land pain by those bound i together by the bonds of family | love. When a family has its | eruptians, it needs to heal the ; wounds with quick and com | plete forgiveness. Today’s words and deeds become so swiftly to -1 morrow’s memories. We who have parents who I have become advanced in years have a special opportunity to express our gratitude to them. !In some instances we can keep i them in our homes where, as long as their powers permit, they can participate in family affairs. But when their pow ers wane and when constant care must be provided by skilled hands, it seems that the best expression of our love is that of making necessary provisions for them in as pleasant sur ! roundings as may be found for | meeting their needs. Jesus, even in his last final and terri j hie agony on the Cross, was i ever mindful of his duty, as the oldest son. of providing for I the care of his mother. He hon i ored her in that he committed her to tire care of one of his loved disciples. I The Christian family should pride itself that it has no com petitor. It is a unique fellow ship where love is quick to for give. where even the little is gladly shared, and where the passing of the years make the relationships more dear. Regardless of all this; however, members of the family may take each other too readily for grant cd. especially during the years ! when children are adolescents, j After the turbulent years have slipped away, however, and bp- I portunity comes for sober re i flection, then we learn to prize the dearest ties that bind our hearts together—those of broth er, sister, parent and child.

Swine Dysentary Is Major Threat Farmers who bring newly-pur chased pigs into their herds this winter without taking health precautions arc running the chance of suffering some heavy losses. A major threat right now is swine dysentery, says the Amer ican Foundation for Animal Health. This disease is becom ing more and more of a prob lem. It can affect up to 100 per cent of the herd, and ran cause 25 to 50 per cent death losses if it goes untreated. What warning signs of dysen tery should a farmer watch for? Scouring is one of the major symptoms. But other diseases cause scouring, too, so a first step in controlling an outbreak is to have a veterinarian diag nose the exact cause, and then take proper treatment meas ures. Farmers are advised to make sure that pigs are bought from a healthy herd. Newly-purchas ed pigs should be kept apart from the home herd for a pe riod of weeks, because infected hogs can be spreaders of this disease even before they show symptoms. Swine dysentery is now be coming a real threat to hog pro fits in many areas, and authori ties urge producers to be more watchful for it. U. S.

She doesn’t mind reading her electric meter be cause she, with thousands of other people who live in this area, owns this rural electric system. This is just one way these owner-consumers cut costs to make possible modern, dependable electric service to widely scattered rural homes. Through cooperation, they’re doing the job many considered impossible. Reading meters doesn’t faze these do-it-yourself Americans. At the start of rural electrification, local citizens pitched in to sign up members and secure rights of way for power lines.

Pigs Gain Faster On Finely Ground Feed The old adage that finely ground feed is untasty and hard for pigs to eat got a comeup pance in an experiment at North Carolina State College. Researchers E. R. Barriek and A. J. Clawson found that pigs gain faster on less feed if it’s finely ground. Dr. Barriek and Dr. Clawson divided 176 pigs—eight to nine weeks old—into eight lots. Four 22-pig groups were fed in con finement and four on pasture lots. . Finely ground rations went to two groups under each system, and coarsely ground feed to the other two groups. Half and quarter kernels of corn were easily seen in the course ration, while the finely ground feed was nearly pulver ized but still- granular. In the mixture was corn, soy bean meal, defluosinated phos phate, high zinc trace mineral salt and a vitamin antibiotic supplement. Protein content at the start was 15.5 per cent, and when the pigs averaged 120 lbs. it was cut to 11-5 per cent. Dr. Barriek and Dr. Clawson found that, in three of the four comparisons,, pigs on the fine ration made faster gains al though they ate a bit more feed. Pigs on the coarse feed ate about seven per cent more feed per! pound of gain—in each compari son. The pigs in confinement gain ed faster than those on pasture. But pigs on good pasture ate about five per cent less feed PERRY IsSsFSs#'!

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The spiritual ■ significance of events in the life of the Apostle Paul will be brought out at Christian Science church ser vices this Sunday. / Keynoting the Lesson-Sermon on the subject of “Spirit” is the Golden Text from II Corinthians (3): “Where the Spirit of ,the Lord is, there is liberty.” _ . Paul’s enlightenment is em phasized in reading from “Sci ence and Health with Key to the’ Scriptures” by Mary Baker 'Ed dy, including this citation (p. 324): “When the truth first ap peared to him in Science, Paul was made blind, and his blind ness was felt; but spiritual light soon enabled him to fol'ow the example and teachings of Jesus, healing the sick and preaching Christianity throughout Asia Mi nor, Greece, and even in im perial Rome.” CENTER HILL CLUB MEETS Center Hill Home Demonstra tion Club met Tuesday, January 23, at the home of Mrs. Willie Byrum. Mrs. B. P. Monds pre sided over the meeting and call ed the meeting to order with a short devotion which was fol lowed by the group singing “Ever Onward” and Mrs. Joe Wiggins leading in prayer. Miss Pauline Calloway, home economics agent, gave a very in teresting and informative dem onstration on kitchen planning. Today these people are using ever-increasing amounts of electricity to live and farm better. And all over our country, user-owners continue to take part in the operation of their electric sys tems which now serve 17 million people. For example, they hold annual elect di rectors from their memberships to oversee their businesses. Working together, they are turning the “impossible” job of electrifying rural Amer ica into one of the greatest success stories of our day. Already they’ve repaid SIVi billion in principal and interest on $3% billion lIEA loans £. further proof that rural electrification is one of the best investments our nation ever made. •, F .
