paign to secure approximately

Airplane ambulance to be pre
sented the people of England as a
gift of citizens of North Carolina.
According to State Chairman
Bowman, the pressing needs of
Great Britain for additional am
bulance equipment have caused
the Old North State Fund to
speed the effort to make the pro
posed gift a reality. The Plane se
lected for the purpose is an am
phibian, twin-motored Grumman,
fitted with special ambulance fr-
c i 1111 e 8 accommodating four
stretcher and two sitting cases,
pilot, medical attendant or co-pi
lot. It is this type of airplane am
bulance that the British-Am erica n
Ambulance Corps recoi^mends as
best suited to England’s present
needs. “With the acceptance of
membership on the organization’s
Advisory Committee o f many
leading citizens of the state as' a
result of a personal invitation by
Governor J. M- Broughton. Hon
orary Chairman of the Fund, we
are ready to proceed,” stated
Bowman, “and our executive com
mittee ha.s outlined plans which
seems to assure the success of the
movement. The acute di.-'tress of
British civilians and armed forc
es due to the lact of adequate
ambulance facilities makes it
most desirable that this gift be
presented the people of En.gland
quickly. We feel confident thrt
the citizens of North Carolina will
reapond promptly and liberally to
this splendid humanitarian cause.
The efforts of the Old North State
Fund to raise $75,000 for the
purchase of an ambulance air
plane or such equipment as Eng
land’s situation may dictate as the
fund progresses, wili be carried
on under permission of the Brit-

Inc which is, officially recognized
by both the British and Ameri
can governments and has render,
ed a great service in as.sisting
England by providing ambulance
equipment for use on the British
Isles and on many battlefronts.
It Is felt that the advice and help

and economy in the conduct of

The Alabama plant produces a-
lumina from -bauxite, and further
reduces the alumina to pure a-
luminum. When the plant is in
production it will turn out 40,-
000,000 (million) pounds of pure
aluminum each year. In addition
to the aluminum plant et Lister-

building a plant at Longview,
Washington, where a production
of more than 60,000,000 (mil

be produced annually. Ground for
the Longview plant was broken
in March and production is ex-
expected in August of this year.
"The success of the Listerhill

Our major project this year is
Food and Nutrition, which we be
gan in January, 1 940, and we will
continue it through 1941. The
subject which we have studied
this year are as follows:
January, “Adequate Food Sup
ply.’’
February, “Fruits.”
March, "Cereals’’.
April, “Milk.”
.May, “Eggs’’.
June, “Vegetables.’’
July and August will be

In September and November
our project will be belter bedding.
In the fall there will be two
meetings: the one in October will
be on quick breads and December
will be “Christmas Cookies.”
We feel that Food and Nutri
tion is the most important pro
ject that can he studied and dem
onstrated at the present time,
since health of the Nation and
the program of an adequate food
supply is vital to health. To mase
America strong, we must begin
with ourselves, and the p'ace to
begin is the health of ou' fami

At the Sunday morning .service
the pastor’s sermon subject will

Sermon subject 'for the Sun

paid tribute to the executives of
the Reynolds organizetion who
have been in charge of the con
struction and engineering on this
new plant. “Our executives have
been on the job day and night for
these six months,” he said, point
ing out that the buildmg of the
plant and start of production
within six months was little short
of “an industrlcl miracle.”
The Reynolds company for
some years has occupied a domin
ant po.sition in the aluminum fab
ricating field, being the large.-'1
producers of th.n-gauge (foil) in
the country and one of the larg
est in the world. ■■!! was only na
tural that the company should
expand into other aluminum pro

app-arent.” Mr. Reynolds said.
“At Louisville we have eight fac

employed in our LouWille plants

in line with previous construction

thought that capacity would be

ParrishTalks Turkey;
Offers Helpful Hints
C. F. Parrish. Extension poul-

savs it’s time to talk turkey and
offers the following suggestions
to turkey growers as a means to
more satl-factory results:
Most turkey growers in this

apparently are determined not to I

at temperatures of 110 degree.'.
Don’t let the poults jam up too
close in the birooders, and on the
other hand, don’t ‘cook’ them,”
the poultryman says, urging that
the house should be opened oft
en enough to provide plenty of
fresh air.
Young turkeys are great for
agers, so plenty of forage should
he supplied them on a good range.
If dry weather has. ruined th"
range or .pasture, soybeans should
he planted at once.
Four inches of mash hopper
space should be supplied for each
poult until the tenth week; then,
the space should lie increased to I
one foot for every two turkeyo
as the birds near maturity. The
turkeys like to ‘wash their hands’
before and after eating, Parrish
says, and in providing a suitable
“wash room” for them, a piece
of wire (hay baling size) should
•be strung above feed hoppers so
that the birds may cle'n their
beaks. This facility lessens fea
