Physical Examinations Wen Formerly Given By Loca Examining Physician The current high rate of rejec tions of selectees at the inductioi station is disturbing to the pub lie mind. This is understandable since the public is so vitally in terested in every phase of Selec tive Service. There is a satisfac tory explanation for it, and th public is entitled to that explana tion. Prior to January 1, 1942, com plete physical examinations wer given the selectees by local boar examining physicians. After a fev months of experience, these phy sicians were passing men wh very closely met 'the Army's re quirements.

Bible School students in two younger groups are being taught the usual courses conducted in these vacation schools. Both Junior First Aid and the Standard First Aid course are being taught in order to contact all students who register for the course. Total registration is 22, and the course is being taught by Rev. C. L. Alligood, assisted by Mrs. James M. Harper, Jr. In the event the course is not completed by the end of the Daily Vacation Bible School, arrangements will be made to complete the work in order that successful candidates may be properly certified. Miss Emma Lou Harrelson, of Orton Plantation, is conducting a Red Cross First Aid class, the students being 14 of the colored employees of the plantation. Miss Harrelson was one of the considerable number of students who received diplomas as instructors in first-aid during the Red > Cross first-aid school that was i conducted here several weeks ago. Orton has two qualified instructors, Jim Ferger, manager of the plantation, having also studied at the school here. While his work has prevented him the undertaking . of the teaching of a class thus far, he has been assisting Miss Harrelson as far as possible and he says it would be hard to find a more interested group of students than the colored people whom Miss Harrelson is now teaching.

Evidently the men desired are those who have training in handling commercial , and fishing boats, men who can, not enlist in any branch of the [ service, owing to having passed t the age limit, or who are debarred by reason of small physical defects. It is understood that naval or . coast guard officers will be in i charge of the craft and that the i men will be wanted to serve as crews. :d Worst i a 17: _L resnwaier nsn which the garfish can and is not adverse to killing anything that ; inhabits freshwaters, excepting ' possibly an alligator or turtle.

Too Late To Mop li For Boll Weevil ~ State College Advises Dusting To Kill Boll Weevils I Now Instead Of Mop- ( ping Method 1 t Dusting is now the most effec- t tive method of controlling boll ( weevil, Dr. Z. P. Metcalf, State I College entomologist, advises cotton growers. "The season for mopping cotton to prevent the pest is now past," he declared, "and the only successful control for we- ( evils this late in the year Is dust- j in<>- with calcium arsenate and lime, mixed half-and-half." j The entomologist said that un- . diluted calcium arsenate is necessary as a dust where the weevils , multiply very rapidly. "But where \ a careful count shows the weevils * have punctured only 10 to 15 percent of the squares, the arsenate- j lime mixture will control the pests very satisfactorily," he stated. Dr. Metcalf reports that the * boll weevils have emerged in ^ greater numbers this year than in several past seasons.
