So de clares Dr. Charles H. Smiley, direc tor of the Ladd observatory, Brown university, PrSvidence, R. I. "To navigate by conventional methods, one needs previous train ing, special instruments, and certain tables of mathematical and astro nomical data," says Dr. Smiley. "The lack of any one of the three training, instruments, or tables is enough to prevent navigation as or dinarily practiced." Commenting on the new emergen cy navigation methods, he says: "You need only watch for the first glimpse of the sun above the horizon at sunrise, and note the time. Then you must note the time of sunset. "It takes a full day to" get your bearings, but if you're lost or afloat on an ocean, time is the one thing you have a lot of. The number of hours and minutes between sunrise and sunset is enough to determine one's latitude, and from the time of local noon (halfway between sunrise and sunset) you can find the longi tude west of Greenwich. All you need is simple arithmetic. The in structions and the necessary tables, together with an illustrative exam ple, cover only one side of a sheet the size of typewriter paper. These are printed with waterproof ink on waterproof paper." Modern Roads Planned' For Rebuilt London London is not waiting for the war to end before making reconstruction plans, according to advices received from British engineers by the Amer ican Road Builders' association. One plan prepared by the London County council for study is centered around construction of three mod ern "ring" roads, highways which in the United States are called belt lines. These ring roads would en circle the London area, at conven ient intervals, with radial roads serving as connectors to facilitate travel in and out of any section. The inner ring road would sur round central London, co-ordinating the railroad termini. This project would include a tunnel under Hyde Park and the Thames river, east of London Tower. The second ring road would facili tate the circulation of dock traffic and industrial traffic. The third ring road would be several miles f irther out. Nine major radial arteries, con necting the second and third ring roads, would extend well into the country. Cookies as Placecards Big six-inch cookies can be used as placecards, mantel decoration or original gifts to your friends and neighbors. Just roll chilled old fashioned cooky dough and cut with a six-inch cutter. If you don't have a cutter, use the top of a coffee can, or plop down a bread and butter plate and whiz around it with a knife. Lift the cooky with a broad pancake turner. When thev're baked and cooled, put a dab of frosting in the center of a paper doily and plunk on the cooky. Spell out the person's name on the cooky with lines of frosting and thea space cinnamon candles with a toothpick on the lines. With a pastry tube and confectioners' frosting, make a simple scalloped edge. Now fasten a red bow with red string and tie it at the back through the cooky and doily too. You can make a hole in the cooky with a toothpick or use a big darning needle and literally sew the bow to the cooky. If cinnamon cahdies aren't available, use confectioners' sugar frosting tinted red. Force it through a paper cornucopia in red dots to form the letters. Changed Names Saint Petersburg was founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, but after Russia entered the First World war the name was changed to Petro grad, as the Russians thought the form "Petersburg" sounded too Ger man. In 1924, when Nikolai Lenin died, the city was renamed Lenin grad in his honor, and the Soviet government announced that mail ad dressed to Petrograd would not be delivered in the future. Leningrad has been the target for German bombs and shells for about two years and the outer sections have suffered great damage but ob servers relate that less destruction than might be expected is apparent in the central part of the city which has elaborate defenses in antitank barriers, pillboxes and blockhouses. Pan-American Highway Within a year or two after the end of the war, motorists from this country in large numbers probably will be driving as far south as the Panama Canal Zone, according to progress reported in road-building. Although gaps exist on the Pan American highway beyond Oaxaca in Mexico, these are being eliminat ed rapidly by Mexico's accelerated construction program. Other gaps in the 3,300-mile long artery to Pan ama are chiefly in Costa Rica. How ever, the highway was to be open this fall from the south bordrr of Mexico through Guatemala, Hondu ras and Nicaragua to within Costa Rica.

College Hints For Farm Homemakers By RUTH CURRENT Gardener's squeeze. Squeeze a handful of soil before starting to dig this spring, garden specialists advise Victory gardeners. The condition of the soil rather than the calendar or the weather tells when to start ground preparations Experienced gardeners test soil with a squeeze. If the soil sticks together after pressing in the hand it is still too wet to '.vork, but if it crimbles apart it is ready. Home Tool Kit. Every family should plan to make household equipment last as long as possible. Daily care and needed repair of equipment will determine the length of its usefulness. The fol Iowiner tools will be helpful in making simple repairs at home: screw drivers, monkey wrencn, knife, putty knife, nails, tacks, nliers. hammer, ruler, brush, sold er, ice pick, fiat file, round file, whet stone, and oil can. Keep your home tool kit handy and ready for use. Press As You Sew. Success or failure in making a garment of ten depends on the way it is press ed during the making as well as after completion. Always test tem perature of iron on scrap of fabric before pressing. Press seams immediately after stitching. Do not wait until dress is completed. Never rest iron on fab ric. Keep it moving constantly to avoid marking fabrics. Press all seams up form bottom or in towards center of garment. Press darts on light fabrics to one side, either up or towards center. On heavy fabrics slash darts and press open. Lift gathers while working point of iron into them. While pressing, always smooth garment into correct shape so that fabric is not stretched. Continue smoothing fabric before passing iron over it to avoid pressing creas es into it. Support Prices Hiked for Peanuts, Soybeans Prices of both peanuts and soy beans above those originally pro posed will be guaranteed North Carolina producers under the 1944 prie support program, according to G. T. Scott, chairman of the State AAA Committee. Announcement of the increase in price was made by the War Food Administration, and is in ac cordance with recent Congression al action authorizing the 1944 sup port program. Under the program, peanuts produced in 1944 wil be support ed at base prices to farmers of $160 per ton for Spanish, Virginia and Valencia types and $145 per ton for runner types. Thesj base prices are for peanuts having e SALE NOTICE.

Premiums and discoun ts will be established for other qualities. Prices originally an nounced were $150 per ton for Spanish, Virginia, and Valencia types, and $140 per ton for run ners. Soybeans produced in 1944 will be supported at a price to produc ers of $2.04 per bushel for green and yellow beans grading No. 2 oi better with 14 per cent moisture content delivered to country ele vators or other normal producer delivery points. Premiums will be provided for lower moisture con tent and discounts will be in effect for lower grades. Prices will be 20 cents per bushel lower for brown, black and mixed beans. "These prices were announced by the War Food Administration in an effort to encourage planting of full goab for these crops," Scott said. "The prjee of these two crops were increased above the prices proposed originally in order to give producers a price more in line with other crops." North Carolinla goal for pea nuts is 330,720 acres and the goal for soybeans is $395,913 acivs, he added. Lard There is more lard on the mar ket than cold storage warehouses can accomodate and it is suggest ed that housewives store "a small a mount of extra lard in their refrigerators. Fertilize Pastures For Cheaper Feeds Recent tests on pastures in North Carolina have shown re markable increases in grazing from the use of fertilizers, report E. C. Blair, Extension agronomist, and A. C. Kimrey, Extension dairyman at State College, who say that good pastures furnish the cheapest source of feed nutrients for both dairy and beef cattle production. Under feed shortage conditions they recommend about 400 pounds of 4-8-4 fertilizer per acre of pas ture in the Coastal Plain and 400 pounds of 4-12-4 in the Piedmont and Mountains. Most pasture soils need limstone and an application of from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds per acre is suggested. Instead of com mercial fertilizer, manure can be applied during the winter to ex cellent advantage. In renovating old pastures, the PAGE SEVEN Dr. J O.. Baxter Jr. THE EYE ONLY BEAUFORT, N. C. Don't Neglect Them! Nature designed the kidneys to do a marvelous job. Their task is to keep the flowing blood stream free of an excess ot toxic impurities. The set of living lift ittelf is constantly producing waste matter the kidneys must remove from the blood if good heath is to ensure. When the kidneys fail to function as Nature intended, there is retention of waste that may cause body-wide dis tress. One may suffer nagging backache, persistent headache, attarks of dizziness, getting up nights, swelling, purlinesa under the eyes feel tired, nervous, all worn out. Frequent, scanty or burning passages are sometimes further evidence of kid ney or bladder disturbance. The recognized and proper treatment is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneya get rid of excess poisonous body waste. Use Doan't Pills. They have had more than forty years of public approval. Are endorsed the country over. Insist on Doan'g. Sold at all drug stores. Extension specialists suggest that the weeds and shrubbery be cut and that the soil be scratched to a depth of about 3 inches. This may be done with a heavy, spike toothed harrow, or with a disc set almost straight, so as not to destroy the old sod. Then apply the fertilizer and any seed that are needed. If the pasture is bad ly infested with noxious weeds, it is advisable to break the land and grow a crop before reseeding. The specialists warn that the pasture should not be grazed too early in the spring before the grasses have made a good start and too heavily during dry weath er Soybeans, lespedeza and oth er such crops can be used for graz ing during the dry periods. Pas tures should be mowed several times to keep down the weeds. A few sheep will help control the weeds. jTJJJ Marine and Automotive. Equipment Electric and Acetylene Welding. Cylinder Head & Engin.
