Another meeting was held, at 9:00 a. m? Friday, De cember 9 with the Wilkes Poul try Industries, leading poultry men and guests from other'coun ties and other states. 100 poul trymen had a fhree hour seminar to discuss the control of New castle with Dr. H. J. Rollins, State Veterinarian; Dr. L. M. Greene, of the State Veterinary Division and Dr. B. F. Cox of North Carolina State College, participating in the discussion on the control of, this compara tively new disease in this area. It is the opinion of the county agent that the best available in formation and control measures have been passed on to the poul trymen and that the poultrymen in the Wilkes area are rapidly bringing this outbreak of di sease under control. o Less Money Spent For Food In U. S. For the first time in 11 years, the amount of money spent for food per person in the United States declined in the first half of 1949, according to Charles E. Clark, farm management spec ialist at State College. A report by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture's Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Clark said, shows that expenditures for food during the first six months of this year were at an annual rate of $346 compared with $359 last year and an average of $119 for the period 1935-39. The decline, however, is due chiefly to lower prices. The quantity of food purchased re mained about the same. From 1940 to 1948, spending for food per person increased more rapidly than expenditures for other goods and services. During the first half of 1949. however, food expenditures dropped off faster than spending for non-food items. Consumers appear to be placing more em phasis on the purchase of au tomobiles and other non-food goods and services, and on sav ings. With a continued rise in 1949 in disposable income per per son?the amount left after per sonal taxes have been paid?the proportion spent for food dropp ed to 27 per cent. This compares with 28 per cent for last year and an average of 23 per cent for 1935-39. The rise in food prices in the last 10 years accounted for on ly part of the increased expendi tures by consumers. Part of the increase was due to larger quan tities bought, and part to im provement in quality of food purchased. o North Carolina hatcheries pro duce about 3,291,000 chicks dur ing October. This is the largest October output on record. Now is the time to plan your poultry enterprise for 1950, say extension poultry specialists at State College.

To such an extent that the general public is now cognizant of the programs of Driver Edu cation and Training, School Saf ety Patrpls, Pedestrian Protec tion and other vital life-saving projects and are actively sup porting these programs; And Whereas the newspapers of the two states.have, in addi tion to actively supporting con tinuing traffic safety projects, initiated and sponsored in the various communities of the Car olinas individual programs that] have added, greatly to our over all work. And Whereas a great amount j of space has been given to traf fic safety stories, and key re porters have been assigned tc cover important phases of safety drives and projects; And Whereas the Press of the Carolinas is contributing im measurably to the task of mak ing the general public safety conscious and alert to the need for a constant awareness of death on the highways; Be It Therefore Resolved that the Carolina Motor Club, duly represented by we who are ga thered together thiB 24 th day of October, 1949, does hereby publicly acknowledge this great contribution by the Press and wishes to make this fact of per manent record by entry in the minutes of this meeting.
