THURSDAY, AUGUST 38, 1846 Programs For Handicapped In , Operation Now \ By Lt. Col. Charles H. Warren State Director of Vocational Rehab ilitation. Raleigh.—Two special programs for the physically handicapped are operated In North Carolina at the present time—one under the direc tion of the state government and > the other under supervision of the Veteran’s Administration—and the work of each doubtless will be con- I siderably expanded after the war. j The Veteran's Administration op- ; crates under authority of Public Laws No. 16 and No. 346 of the fed eral statutes for service to the thousands of Tar Heel veterans re turning from all theaters of war. i f unds for the programs for veterans ' will be based upon the number of ex-soldiers to be served and. for a number of years, will undoubtedly amount to several million dollars. Prom a small beginning In 1920. North Carolina has progressed in its state-operated program from a staff composed of a supervisor and a se cretary to a field staff of 15 pro fessional counselors. Under the pro- i visions of the Federal Public Law li No. 113 further expansion is con templated. At the present time there are 3,733 active cases in North Caro-1 lina. Since the program began op erating in 1920, there has been a total of 15.005 persons who have been N given the assistance necessary to qualify them for and help them obtain employment. IH In servicing these cases close working relationships have been es tablished with numerous private or ganizations as well as with federal, state and local government agencies. Possibly the most valuable co-work er is the county superintendent of public welfare whose office through the years has been a place of con tact between Vocational Rehabili tation counselors and their clients. kT'he cuunty department of public " welfare lias also been a valuable source of referral of cases eligible for rehabilitation. Practically every, county department in the state hay a number of its cases under treat ment through vocational rehabilita tion. Any service necessary to prepare n disabled person for work, is avail fa bie to liim if the correction of his . vocational Handicap will make him I employable and able to contribute to his own support and that-of his family.' o Clothing Angle 'Said Improved Washington.—Clothes for women and children will be piled high in stores by November. So will things like sheets and towels. Men’s clothes will be less plenti ful. That was the forecast today by industry leaders and government officials. } it was the brightest authoritative picture yet on the clothing outlook. The garment prospect has chang ed radically since the Japanese sur render. Tiie main factor in the change was the unexpected speed with which the Army wiped out most of it plans for buying clothing mate rials. One official even said the nation f ran look forward to a "Christmas chopper's paradise" In women’s and children’s clothing. Most items of men's clothing will be produced in good quantity. Shirts and Shorts. Shirts and shorts will Be produced at a rate of 90 to 95 per cent of their 1939 volume, manufacturer predict ed. But industry people expect that heavy sales to millions of discharg . ed veterans will keep retail stocks at low levels until after the first of the year. S DELICIOUS! f, DEMAND ENJOY THE BEST New Orleans Coffee Your Grocer Recommends it ! Prisoners At New High Mark London—The Red Army's bag of of Japanese prisoners in the Far Eastern war mounted toward the iialf.million mark today. Capture of an additional 35,000 Japanese officers and men in Man churia yesterday ran the total to 408,000. and more were streaming into Soviet prison cages every hour. All fighting apparently had ceasedt In leap-frog operations, the So viets occupied Onnegotan, Shashi kotan and Matsuwa, the latter 250 miles from the southern tip of Kamchatka and 500 miles north of | the- enemy’s home Island of Hok- I kaido. o State Gives Unique Degree Raleigh.—To Harold L. Manning, British subject, went the distinction recently of receiving the first M. E. S. degree—Master of Experimental- Statistics —ever awarded in the Un ited States. North Carolina State College awarded the degree in Raleigh to Manning, who, although a citizen cf Great Britain, is Brooklyn-born.! Behind both Manning and the de- 1 ! gree lie two stories which should be j interest to North Carolina's cit- j | izenry. First, because their state ! j institution of learning is one of the | two schools in the country equipped to grant such a degree; And because Manning, who has spent all of his adult life in the British West Indies, should hear of this training offered jat State College and come here for his studying. Arrival at State. The story begins several years ago. before 1942 when State College set up its Department of Experimental- Statistics. A publication written by Prof. Gertrude M. Cox. now head of the department and Director of the Institute of Statistics, sent out from lowa State College, where she was then located, came into Manning's hands down in the West Indies. He was employed as a cotton plant breeder with the Empire Cotton Growing Corporation, a government sponsored scientific group, and the I explanation of her experimental de i signs appealed to him. | At that timt he limited himself to a correspondence with the statis tician and a study of her written matter. Later, however, he was able to secure permission from his -em ployers to visit the United States and study under Miss Cox. In August of 1944, Manning, his wife and daughter, arrived at State College where Miss Cox was located, , and he began his studies. Concentrating his attention on the use ol statistics in conducting his experiments for the development of better cotton, he chose as his thesis project, "Precision of Yield Com parisons from Experimental Plot Trials in Sea Island Cotton Breed ing.'' Since May, when he received his degree. Manning has been at work on a recent project. "Estimation of Selection of Advance in Sea Island Cotton." In early September lie plans to leave for England where he will await further assignment to Uganda, in British Centra) Africa.

Blcolor Lespedeza This Blcolor lespedeza Is a shrub plant that under favorable condi tions wIU grow 5 to 6 feet high producing a vast quanity of seed very palatable to birds. Where Bi color Is used It should be seeded alone on a strip 6 to 8 feet wide along the woods and serica seeded between this bushy plant and the field for 10 to 15 feet or a greater width if the area is eroded and unproductive. Such areas after the second or third year makes ideal feeding and nesting for quail. Shade I does not prevent the growth of bi color and serica lespedeza as it does other plants, Where Bicolor seed arc nqt available and a single plant is seeded, serica is the best to use in field borders, since it is sufficiently hardy to withstand the use of such areas as turn rows for farm machinery and animals. These practices which are first of all better farm conservation meas ures are a part of practically ev ery conservation farm plan pre pared for farmers cooperating with I the Dan River Soil Conservation District.
