ON JUNE 4 '2l *** You Will Decide . . . Whether Schools May Have Adequate Quarters \ ggttlr Whether Our System of Rural Roads Shall Be an Asset or Liability The General Assembly of 1949, recognizing the need for better school buildings and better rural roads in North Carolina, author ized an election looking toward issuance of bonds for this purpose. The amount of money involved is great ... but the benefits are greater. No one can conscientiously vote to maintain schoolhouses at their present low standard . . . thus penalizing our children. The Federal Land Bank, with no direct interest in the bond elec tion, says that 12,000 miles of rural roads, which will be paved un der this program, will increase value of Tar Heel farms over FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Other benefits are greater! j Join the Leaders of j REPEAL fHE These Groups in the j Fight for Progress MI If) TAM State Federation of Woman’s j I 11^ Clubs N. C.

Muslin sheets come in various grades, a thred count of 112 pe rsquare inch or lower is impractical as the wearing qualities are very poor. A count of 128 gives medium dura bility and satisfactory wear for the price; 140 thread count is the highest quality in muslin and gives maximum service. See that they are firmly and close ly woven with a uniform appear ance. Cheap sheets are heavily sized, rub a corner of the sheet; if it feels harsh and a white pow de rcomes off, the sheet has ex cess sizing and will be sleasy after the first wash. Hold up to the light. If the threads vary from Friday, May 27, 1949 thick to thin there’ll be spots that wear out quickly. Shoes with high heels and flop py-soiled slippers may “up” the morning morale, but may also let you down—down the stairs the quick way. And the increase in I nerve strain and fatigue on the wearer of shoes with little sup ! port has been knoown to indirectly cause accidents. Since nearly half of the home fatalities are due to falls, safe shoes should be essential in everjr wardrobe. Shoes needing soles re | paired, heels built up, or new shoe laces are apt to cause falls. Wed gies provide less sure grip on rugs and stairs than do shoes de signed with a low heel, a good .arch, and nonskid soles. Soil fumigation to control nema todes or eel-worms is pust as es ; fective if the fumigant is limited to the soil immediately surround ing the plant. About one-fifth of all cultivat , ed acres in the United States are now in legumes.
