Log
By TOY LANE HEWETT
The faculty and students at
Shallotte High wish each and
everyone a very Merry Christmas
and a prosperous New Year.
Monday night the third grade
presented their Christmas play for
the Parent-Teacher Association.
, It was thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone who attended.
Last Tuesday the Social Stu
dies Club met and elected their
officers. They are, president, Syl
via Henson; vice-president, John
■ ny Benton; and Toy Hewett, sec
retary.
Mr. Sellers 12th grade home
room elected Ann Robinson and
Jane Stanley as May Day attend
ants; Sandra Kinlaw and Mildred
Royals as archbearers. Toy Hew
ett and Ann Robinson were elect
ed Valentine attendants.
Last week an article appeared
in a Wilmington newspaper with
the heading “Songless Shallotte
School”. Well, our school is not
completely songless. Mr. Dunning,
11th and 12th grade English
teacher, is very understanding
about our problem. So to help us
out, he allows each of his classes
to sing about 15 minutes every
two weeks. The students will ad
mit that this singing doesn’t
sound as good as a glee club
would, but they are very appre
ciative of this small chance to
express their feeling in song.
The practice sets in bookkeep
ing have arrived and the students
are enjoying working with them.
Typing students are glad their
workbooks have arrived. Now
maybe we can get more done and
better grades. Wish us luck!
We were indeed shocked and
sorry to hear the sad new of Lon
nie’s death. The students at Shal
lotte find it hard to believe that
he is gone. We will miss him
very much, and will never forget
the large and small things he did
for us and the part he played in
sports. We must realize that the
most enduring treasures of life
are those of memory.
Mrs. Arnold, why were you
driving off and leaving your groc
eries on the “high”? . . . Hannah
singing with the “Crusaders”.

The purpose of mulches are
many and varied. They are regu
larly used to conserve moisture,
regulate soil temperature and
help in the control of weeds. In
soil management they influence
organic matter to some extent,
the activity of soil micro-or
ganisms, and prevent soil erosion
and compaction.
Most mulcnes in common use
are some type of organic ma
terial—pine and clean grain straw,
peanut hulls, ground corn cobs.
Of these materials, pine and
grain straw will decompose more
rapidly than the peanut hulls and
corn cobs.
Sawdust and wood shavings
last longer as mulches because
they decompose slowly. Sawdust
is likely to become compressed
and prevent rapid penetration of
water. If shavings are used, it
must be remembered that an ade
quate supply of nitrogen is neces
sary to decompose the woody fi
bers.
A new material called ‘‘Forest
Mulch'' is available and is a by
product of saw milling opera
tions. It is fortified with plant
food elements and shows a guar
anteed analysis of 1 per cent
Phosphorous and 1 per cent Pot
ash-giving a 1-1-1 ratio.
What about peat? Peat is good
and perhaps the best source of
organic material available. It is
| used for mulching, but I believe
that it is best to incorporate peat
with the soil and mulch with
something else.
Plastic materials and aluminum
foil, when used as mulches, do not
contribute anything to the soil |
organic content but serve a use- J
ful purpose in the home vegetable
and flower garden if properly
used. The plastic mulch is being j
more extensively used by com- :
mercial growers of strawberreis
and many other crops.
After a mulch of organic ma
terial settles and weathers, it
becomes more fixed in location.
The soil holds more water and j
prevents rapid run-off which pre- !
vents erosion. Where traffic ' is
heavy, such as between the rows
of strawberries, raspberries and
staked tomatoes, a good mulch
prevents soil compaction.
Whatever mulch you choose, re
member that nitrogen fixing bac
teria require nitrates for their use
in breaking down organic matter
and relate your fertilizer pro
gram to the type of mulch you
’are using. The more woody or
fibrous the material the greater
the demand for nitrogen.
KILLED TO DATE
The state department of motor
vehicles reports that 1,123 per
sons have been killed to date on
the state’s highways as compared
to 1,129 for a comparable period
last year.
Chiropractic
Education
By DR. ROGER W. PRICE
The science of. Chiropractic was discovered
in 1395 by Dr. D. D. Palmer. The educational
standards have made rapid progress in a very
short time, with a standard course of 4 years
or a minimum of 4000 hours of instruction.
In North Carolina the Chiropractor must also
have 2 years of pre-profesional college.
I he chiropractor takes the basic science board along with the candi
dates from the other healing professions in the required states. Then he
applies to his Chiropractic Board of Examiners for license.
Upon successful completion of these examinations the Chiropractor is
legally a licensed Chiropractic Physician. He may practice in all fields with
the exception of materia medicia, obstetrics and surgery. The profession
treats some thirty-three million annually and the demond for additional
Chiropractors is great. The Modern Chiropractor specializes in nerves, joints,
bones and muscles.
