THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 11,1938 TT&O (Continued from Front Page) hurrying to me, saying, ‘ Here, i put this in Paul’s rack.” I looked. ‘‘This” was a tiny blouse, so small that not one of the boys there could have worn it. In surprise and exasperation I asked why on earth we should stick that thing in that boy’s bundle, reminding her of his six feet of height, and she replied, “Well, I thought it would be something to go in his rack.” Privately I thought that, if we gave it to him, I’d not blame him to get mad and throw it on the floor. I have forgotten exactly how we managed, but we got Paul a shirt. And since then I have of ten been reminded of that occur rence. When I hear a speaker who has not made adequate preparation I feel that he has merely offered his hearers something to put in the rack; not something to instruct nor to entertain. When I see a job noorly done just to “get by,” I think again that it was to be put in the rack, contributing little or nohing to comfort and beauty. There’s no use going on with it; you get the idea. And I confess my own guilt. Though confession may not bo necessary; all of you know when this column is written to be put in the rack and not be cause the contents were appropri ate. WAKELON WON IN DRAMATIC TOURNAMENT (Continued From Front Page) Gerry Bell, Buddy Gay, John Clark, with Neil Hartley, coach. The last play was given by Wil liam Leggett, Mary Elizabeth Rob erson, Martha Everette, Robert Perry Morris, Evelyn Ward, of Robersonville, with sound effect managers Newton Roberson and Delbert James. They presented OFF NAG’S HEAD, by Dougald McMillan, being coached by L. W. Anderson. Although of necessity the pro gram was rather long, every play was appreciated by the audience, who understood why only tragedies were given. Next year’s plays will be comedies. The decision of the judges was two to one for Wakelon; which means that this school has the pri vilege of going to Chapel Hill the week of March 20 to compete in the state-wide tournament with other district winners. Detween plays Charles Win stead played piano solos, and vo cal duets were given by Alberta Johnson and Ruby Bridgers. Staf fin Pearce sang two solos. Charles Winstead accompanied the sing ers. All these are Wakelon pu pils. The local school and community appreciated having the visitors from other schools, all of whom gave unusually good performances. APPROVED PRACTICES ASSURE GOOD FLOCKS It’s astonishing to see how much many poultrymen expect of their chicks and Mother Nature. On one farm one may find from 500 to 1,00 or more chicks crowd ed into a brooder house no larger than 12 by 14 feet. On the farm next door one will probably find a large brood of chicks in a house with practically no ventilation and a suffocating temperature. Yet these poultrymen wonder whv their chicks do not live and thrive, and sometimes throw up their hands in disgust at a busi ness in which there is no money. Growers who are getting satis factory results with their present methods of raising chicks should not change, Drown said. Many farmers fail because they try to follow the advice of too many persons. For instance ,one poultryman may be attempting to follow the recommendations of several feed salesmen, the county agent , the vocational teacher, as well as the advice offered by neighbors. Although there is no set way to raise chicks, the farmer should se lect one system and stick to that at all times. The chances of his success, if the system is good, will be greatly enhanced. The extension poultrymen at State College have worked out a system which many farmers are using with a great deal of suc cess, Brown said. Each new rec ommendation in the business of poultry raising which they make is first tested thoroughly Through experimental work and through practical field observations. The farm agent in each of North Carolina’s 100 counties is acquainted with these recommen dations, and growers interested in poultry production may secure ad vice from this source. CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE WOOD TO DECAY U. S. Products Laboratory Decay or rot in wood is not due to chemical action, but is caused by a low form of plant life known as fungi which eat the wood. These wood-destroying fungi are first cousins to mushrooms. Most decay in buildings is caused by faulty constructions that allows wood to be in direct contact with the soil or some other source of moisture and not providing for sufficient ventilation. But even well con structed houses may be damaged by rot if any of the sills or joists come in contact with the soil. Sometimes porch floors touch the ground because of insufficient ex cavation and the decay may grow from the ground into a sill if dirt is left against it. Decay may then spread from the moist sill in to the joists, floors, or walls mak ing expensive repairs necessary. Earth filled porches are respon sible for much decay in homes.

Few husbands can understand why a wife should turn from a pleasant companion into a shrew for one whole week in every month. You can say “I’m sorry" and kiss and make up easier before marriage than after. Be wise. If you want to hold your husband, you won't be a three-quarter wife. For three generations one woman has told another how to go "smil ing through" with Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. It helps Nature tone up the system, thus lessening the discomforts from, the functional disorders which women must endure in th» three ordeals of life: I. Turning from girlhood to womanhood. 2. Pre paring for motherhood. 3. Ap proaching “middle age.” Don’t be a three-quarter wife, take LYDIA E. PINK HAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND and Go “Smiling Through.” plantings of shrubbery around the home may cut down the ventila tion. Sometimes an ornamental pool near a building provides an abundance of water which is drawn up into the timbers by the decaying organisms. With no provisions made for ventilation under a house, wood in contact with the ground will take up moisture. Under such ideal conditions for fungous growth, decay may result in the complete destruction of a house in five years’ time. Pieces of wood left under buildings may. become de cayed and the fungus spread to the wood in the building. This is a common source of infection in locations where the soil is moist. All scraps of wood should be cleared away when the building is completed. A missing downspout instead of carrying away rain, may allow the water to splash up under the siding, producing favorable condi tions for decay. The lowest siding should be at least a foot above the ground. Untreated posts in contact with the ground may absorb water and from them the decay may sread to timbers supporting the floors and so throughout the building. Fre quently wood floors are laid in basements and the floors absorb moisture from the soil beneath. In such cases there is no way of insuring dryness and decay ex tends into the upper stories, caus ing considerable damage unless its progress is stopped. Wood that is kept dry will not decay. BLAMES BIRTH-RATE Dr. Rupert Vance, professor of sociology at the University of N. C., declared before an investigat ing senate committee at Washing ton that the chief cause of poverty in the Appalachian mountains and the cotton belt is the high birth rate, which makes the population of these areas far too large for the economic resources mm Dflvs IMPS Electnc Ironing 'huxtout.May ' C The ironing for the entire family can be quickly and easily done with a new AUTO MATIC ELECTRIC IRON . . . thousands of homemakers are delighted with this MODERN WAY! trade us your old iron Wm limited time we will allow you $1 eo tbe M «a Automatic Electric Iron or Me on non-automatic models.

DON’T DRIVE IMPULSIVELY A light foot and a gentle hand should be the slogan of all motor ists,” according to Charles A. Chayne, safety expert, who adds: Don’t be impulsive covers all driv ing conditions summer and winter. You can crack up on a dry pave ment with perfect driving condi tions as quickly as on a wet or icy road under bad conditions if you are not doing the right thing. A motorist need remember only one fundamental rule, and that is: Don’t do anything jerkily. This rule applies to steering the car and to inci easing or decreasing its speed. Don’t take your foot off the accel erator suddenly. It is the same as applying brakes to the rear wheels and may cause a skid. Avoid it by slowly releasing your accelerator pedal. Don’t slam on your brakes, especially on icy or wet pavements. Anticipate your stops and take it easy and you won’t come to grief. “Don’t start up in low gear on ice.
