A good example of the faculty’s cooperation is the recent construction of individual learning carrels by the agriculture shop classes under I. A. Broadnax for the automotive section under Harold Miller. Individual learning carrels for mechanical instruction has been found to be highly effective in teaching difficult subject matter, but their costs have limited them in the past to only the most affluent school districts. Instructor Broadnax is producing 24 carrels at only a small fraction of the cost asked by commercial manufacturers. (See TEACHERS, Page 12) New Fertilizer Processing Plant Comes To Seaboard Severn Volunteer Firemen Get Additional Equipment SEABOARD — “When you are trying something new you have to do a lot of homework, collect as many facts as you can and consult some ‘experts’ if they are available. Even then its a gamble.” These are the words of Robert H. Gay of Seaboard, a partner with W. H. Taylor, also of Seaboard, and Vircar Plant Foods, Inc., of Severn. He is speaking of the newly built and soon to open Seaboard Liquid Plant Foods, Inc., located on 7.2 acres of land here. The “something new” is liquid fertilizer manufacturer. > It will come in two classes. clear and suspension. Clear is the ordinary type of liquid fertilizer most of us have seen. Suspension can go higher in analysis and form a thicker material. Suspension is foe coming thing but once mixed it must be continously agitated or else you will end up with a vat of solid matter A NEW INDUSTRY COMING to Northampton County is the Seaboard Liquid Plant Foods, Inc. A three-way partnership between Robert H. Gay and W. H. Taylor of Seaboard and Vircar Plant Foods, Inc., of Severn, the venture cost about $75,000 to build. Weather pending they should be in full production by the middle of the month. and will only be able to take it out by bucket. In addition to any type chemical and seed the local farmers may want. Seaboard Liquid Plant Foods will also carry bulk lime and bulk plaster. The company will be able to mix any formula of fertilizer the buyer may want (seven tons in 20 minutes) and also be able to either put it in foe fields or rent equipment to foe buyer to do it himself. Included in the rental equipment is a 1,400 gaUon tank sprayer truck with flotation tires for muddy fields. The chief (feature of using this type fertilizer is that it’s labor saving. “With foe cost of labor going up more each year the farmers will have to turn to this process,” Gay said. None of the materials used can endanger foe community and everyfoing that comes to the plant is used up in manufacturing foe formulas. Hense, there is no waste matter to pollute the environment. Potash will be the only solid brought in, foe rest will be liquid. Costing $75,0K), the plant was 10 months in planning and around 10 weeks in building. “In addition to serving local farmers and businessmen foe plant can also accommodate larger industrial buyers,” Gay concluded. By JOE COVOLOJR. Editor SEVERN — “Through foe efforts of a lot of civic minded people in Severn, the town now has a second piece of fire fighting equipment, the town’s 22-member Volunteer Fire Department can now better serve the surrounding area as well as the town itseLf and the fire insurance rates for foe town remain as low as they can get.” This statement was made by Severn Fire Chief M. E. Lassiter. In an interview with him this week he told “Your Home Newspaper” that, “this all became possible with the purchase of a used tank truck from a South Boston, Va., fire equipment dealer. It would have cost up to $19,000 new but we were able to get it for $6,500 and will have about another $1,000 to spend to get it fully equipped.” The truck is a 1956 Chevrolet with a 1,000-gallon capacity tank. It joins a 1%8 Ford trudt with a 500-gallon capacity and a 750-gallon per minute mid-ship three-stage pump. With the original piece of fire equipment the town was able to get a rating of a Class 8 town. This is the best rating awarded by the North Carolina Insurance Bureau. To maintain this rating foe town must maintain a pumper truck within foe town limits at all times. Now the rating can be maintained but foe town can also answer calls in foe county as well as in other (See FIREMEN, Page 12) SEVERN FIRE CHIEF M. E. Lassiter prepares to put the town's latest addition to the Volunteer Fire Department through its paces. The truck, a 1956 Chevrolet, was recently bought from a Fire Equipment Dealer in South Boston, Va., and will be used chiefly for fires outside of the town limits.
