PAGE 1 Wood Is Used In All Construction Known As Material With A Future, There Is Ever Increasing Demand For Wood And Wood Products The American nation was founded and built on wood use. Wood plays an important part in practically every activity of our 1 fe today, and its importance in the American scheme of living is increasing and will continue to increase according to the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory. Madison. Wisconsin. There is. it is true, an indisputable tendency in many fields today to "get away from wood" concrete, metals, ami all sorts rf new materials are coming in. It may be timely to wonder if. 1 in the same fields, there may not be. after some of the "newer" materials have been subjected to service tests by that inexorable scientist Father Time, a balancing tendency to "get back to wood." However, there is one ih'nsr about wood, it is the handiest all-around abundant material. and the use of something else usually carries some kind of a job for wood along with it. IIvon concrete construction has created outlets for thousands of board feet of form material.

In this real life romance of New York, gay and glamorous as the town itself, Dick Powell and Madeleine Carroll, a combination new to musical comedy make a handsome and romantic team, ably surrounded by such masters of mirth and melody as Alice Faye, The Ritz Brothers and George Barbier. "On the Avenue" gets off to a hilarious start when Madeleine Carroll, as a wealthy debutante. George Barbier, as her father, and Alan Mowbray, as an explorer, enter a theatre just as Dick Powell, Alice Faye and The more complicated the building, stadium, wharf or bridge, the more reason for using wood forms. Ev.n in the metals, machinery, and other gear of the age in which we live, wood does its part in making it all possible? from the mining and smelting of the ore. through the foundary, with its beautifully tooled wood patterns which determine the exact size and shape of castings, and so on to the packing and shipping and the transportation of the finished goods into service. It seems that all the thousands of new uses for metals and machinery are also uses for wood at the same time. Fifty billion?that's a lot of anything?is the measure of board feet of wood used every year, in this country, in the form of lumber, fuel, and every form of wood. Fifty billion board feet of lumber would build a board walk 40 feet wide out of inch boards from the earth to the moon. Of all the uses into which this vast stream of lumber flows, building, and especially home construction, is the most important. Wood makes a satisfactory heme by either the old or the new standards, and work is in progress at the Forest Products Laboratory to adapt wood to what may be the home of the future. Wood is strong, light, economical, adaptable, convenient and formed by nature in its very miscoscopic structure to resisl the passage of heat and cold. Some of the wood houses of the early New England settlers arc still in use. When home build'ng really hits its stride to make up the shortage that now exists, wood, the traditional American material, will be found doing a big share of the work, and doing it well, as it always has done. 3 MILEAGE USE j DLL ; and Oil j your automobile comSI1ELL lubricants you ang performance. ice Station j >RT, N.

Every year, water11 erosion alone removes 3,000,000,- < 000 tons of soil, mostly good top- 1 soil, from United States lands. < 1 This year, due to the flood on < the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, i the loss will be much greater. < To carry three billion tons of ] Trichinosis Caused ;! Infected Poi Trichinosis is a disease caused (i i from eating raw or insufficiently 1 1 cooked pork. It is not highly pre- i valent in North Carolina but it i j is known to exist. The frequency of the disease on account of its ' not yet having been made re- ! portable to the state board of ( healtn, is n.oi easny ucit-i miireu. Its seriousness, however, demands Jj that every precaution should be ( taken against the possibility of contracting the infection. This safeguard in general is understood to be the thorough cooking of pork and sausage meats, ineluding the "hot dog" and frank-; furters. ; j Trichinosis is dangerous al1 though its mortality is usually ' a little below that of typhoid ( fever. In several of its symptoms j it resembles typhoid. After eat-. ing meat that is infected with 1 the parasite trichonella, there is likely to be an onset of diar-, 1 rhea, the most characteristic sym- ' ptom of the disease. There is 1 fever in all cases and it may goi as high as 105 degrees. From the tenth day on, muscle soreness is noted and there is usually a 1 swelling of the eyelids and maybe 1 parts of the face. Mortality is ' related to the dosage of infection and varies from zero to 30 per cent. Most deaths occur in from the third to fifth week after getting the infection. It is estimated that about G per cent of all hogs in America1 ! are infected with the trichinclla 1 parasite. That means that there ' are about 57,960 hogs in North1 ' Carolina alone that carry the infection. It is not ordinarily rea1 lized how dangerous a single in1 fected pig may be. In 1923, in! Karlsruhe, Germany, 150 cases of trichinosis were traced to a sin1 gle pig. In Pennsylvania in 1930, 29 cases were traced to one herd , of swine. The transmission of the infection to man is almost exclusively through eating of pork containing encysted trachnia larave. The pig acquires it from eating dead rats or scraps f of infected meat. A bulleting from the State' Board of Health says that no method of inspection has yet been devised by which the presence or | absence of trichinosis in pork can be determined with certainty. All persons are accordingly warned not to eat pork .or sausage containing pork whether it has been officially inspected or not until it is thoroughly cooked, j It advises two methods of protection against trichonosis. The j first of these is thorough cook-1 Ritz Brothers are going into a farcical burlesque of the home life of "the richest girl in the world."

The marriage was performed j Thursday at Elizabeth City, with Justice of the Peace Leo P. Louis, who issued the marriage certificate, officiating. The trip to North Carolina was necessary because Virginia law prohibits marriage of girls under 15. Under Control Major Raymond G.

From investigating officers came the following story, a revision of their first version of the affair: The two men, an officer said, spent the early part of the night at the Royal Oak filling station, where Sellers bought and drank two bottles of beer and Clemmons bought and drank 11 bottles of beer. Sellers left to go to Buster Robinson's house and was soon followed by Clemmons. At Robinsons they lay around drinking and so forth" and Sellers got sick. He went to the side of the road and sat down and Clemmons and a neighbor named Holden went out to get him up. He wouldn't get up and they insisted that he come in the house. Clemmons was quoted as saying, "Wait, and damned if I won't get him up," and. the officer said, went to the house and secured some gasoline which he threw on the inert form of the man in the road. Sellers was quoted as saying he didn't realize it was gasoline at first but when he smelled it he jumped but before he could rise Clemmons struck a match to his gasoline soaked body.

"We have there a portion of Florida that is five hundred miles nearer to the populous northern cities," he said. He mentioned the possible income! that the state could derive xrom the construction of a causeway from Ft. Fisher to Smith Island. All that is necessary to bring about development down here, according to Mr. Thomas, is to let i the outside world know of the | attractions of Southport and j Brunswick county. Mayor John Ericksen brought up the mateter of a yacht basin at Southport. Agitation for this project already has made good | headway, and army engineers are scheduled to come here within the next few days to make a survey and prepare an estimate I of cost. Mayor Ericksen was ap-! pointed chairman of a committee to represent the club in contacting the engineers. VV. B. Keziah and Alan Ewing were the other members named. Mayor Ericksen, who is head j of the local Sea Scout troop, reported that permission has been obtained to hold the regular troop meetings in the legion hall of the community center building. Mayor Ericksen expressed a desire to see citizens of Southport, and Brunswick county work to gether in greater harmony and j cooperation. Mr. Thomas suggested that it would be well for each member to make an active j effort to bring at least one county citizen with him to the next I meeting. Chairman Bunker sug gested the possibility of chang ing the name from the South port Civic Club to the Brunswicl County Civic Club. Dr. William S. Dosher brough up the matter of discriminatioi being shown by the welfare de partment in regard to charit; patients. There was a discus sion of plans to remedy this sit uation.

The welfare officer is th taxpayer's representative in thi matter, and as such he has i responsible duty to perform. W believe that he should mak every effort to keep the undeser ving off the charity list, and als be just as eager to see that n one in actual need of being hos pitalized at public expense be de nied this privilege. "For the past six years th Brunswick County Hospital ha been filling an acute need in thi community. Many patients ar cared for annually who would b considerably inconvenienced wer they forced to seek hospitiliza tion in nearby towns. The hos pital affords the physicians c the county an opportunity to in crease their professional profici ency by having its facilities easi ly available. U. S.

When summer legumes ar grown in combination with de pleting row crops, the entire ac creage will be counted once a soil-depleting, and half of th same acreage will also be count ed as soil -conserving, provide' the legumes occupy at least one half the land and a good growtl has been attained. This means, Criswell explainer that in figuring the general soil depleting base for a farm, th entire acreage of these mixei crops will be counted in. And i! determining the soil-conservin| acreage, one-half of the sam "mixed acres" will be counted.

WEDNESC - STATE IMPORTS S" HAY FOR FEED (Continued from page 1) (beans, lespedeza, meadow hay, or-1 al chard grasses, or perhaps a sor-' a ' . ghum crop. de a Thus, it is evident that hay in- pr -i eludes a great many different t0 y crops both as to seasons and y. - types of products to be harves- pe - i ted. Since this offers such a fine bu (opportunity for catch crops it is ec| la poor farmer indeed, or rather pr [an unwise farmer, who does not di r plan to have one or more hay jn crops during the year. While cer- nj t tain section of the state can ex r | claim the largest acreage of cer- ke -1 tain types of hay crops, all parts ail e of the state grow some hay. For s example, in the northeastern part g a of the state a monopoly on a e peanut hay is to be found. Many! e hays may be grown here but this! - is the chief dependent. Peanut t0 o hay, of course, is a by-product sa o from the production of the pea- |e. I-; nuts. Soy beans and spring oats th i- are major hay crops in the gen-1 j eral eastern half of the state. ? e! The piedmont section is chiefly s interested in lespedeza and clovs er hay. In the mountain counties e it is largely clover and timothy e 1 and meadow hay. e We can never become an im, j portant livestock state until we i- [ grow more hay and grain for f feed purposes. As soon as farmi ers begin to grow excess feed -' crops, they naturally begin to i-1 take on livestock. Lespedeza is , h rapidly replacing clover and is e spreading over the state in an - amazing way. This is largely due h,a fortt ttiaf this ctato I" IU U1V. lavk kliuv miu wvuwxs ivuuu n in the production of lespedeza i-1 seed. A generation ago North ! Carolina ranked very high in soy d beans. However, now it is well s down the list. Ohio, Indiana, 111d [ nois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri now rank considerably h: ahead of North Carolina with e this crop which is grown chiefly d in those states for hay purposes, i-1 Alfalfa hay grows best in the y piedmont section. However, good preparation and a good soil are necessary for a permanent field of growth. Small grains are cut p in a semi-mature state primarily in the eastern counties for com;bined grain and hay ration. These -1 are, of course, not threshed but i, I fed as a hay. n j The per acre average value of f hay in North Carolina was S11.84 y in 1935 and the 1936 value is r S12.54. s d , The Cut R >( Mail Order Pri t. ) , I ; Ladies Elgin Sport Watches pr t ! i Late Styles, Round and Recti i-J j Gent's Elgin Wrist Watches pr ; Elgin Pocket Watches.
