I am still unable to have visitors,
your messages are still welcome.

“No,” replied her mother,
“They’re waves.”
Molly looked at her father.
“Poor Daddy,” she sighed. “He’s

Early Eggs
Bring More
There isn’t any particular magic
about the date March 15 as far
I as egg production is concerned,
| says C. L. Boone, assistant Wake
! County Negro farm agent. But
i he can’t convince at least one of
the families he works with.
Boone says Mr. and Mrs. Eddie
Harris, Raleigh, Rt. 3, bought their
baby chicks early last year — on
March 15 — and ended the year
with more egg profits than ever
before. Now they’re convinced
March 15 is the right day for chick
purchases.
Boone and his co-workers in the
Wake Negro farm agent’s office
have been pushing poultry and egg
production for a number of years
and have found that one of the
most difficult things to accomplish
was to get the farmers to start
their chicks early. It’s an economic
maxim that early eggs bring more
money (just as early tomatoes
bring more money.)
Boone says the March 15 date
! really should have no significance.
| An earlier date would work still
better.
With farm income being sliced
thinner and thinner, says Boone,
the farmer must take advantage of
| every existing advantage. Keep
ing abreast of the best marketing
I times, is just one of these.

Your Telephone Manager
HERE IN ZEBULON and all over Southern Bell’s nine
state territory, we have a constant, far-reaching safety
training program that pays off. The lineman on the pole,
cable splicers under the streets, drivers of telephone cars
or trucks — all are trained to work safely and to protect
your safety. I might mention that for five years Southern
Bell has won the highest award of the National Safety
Council for safety in industry. It’s a record we’re right
proud of and we’re going to keep at it.
BRINGING PEOPLE closer together is our job. So we like
to feel we had a hand in bringing people of two continents
closer togethter. I’m speaking of the new trans-Atlantic
telephone cable, first of its kind, which was laid under the
stormy Atlantic last year to link America and Europe. You
know, Bell System scientists and engineers have been work
ing 25 years to perfect this rugged new underseas cable.
Now we figure it’ll work 20 years without replacement. It
carries three times the calls we used to handle over radio
telephone,. Got a Dutch Uncle you want to call? Give him
a ring. Only costs $12 to most European countries.

MANY OF YOU probably saw the first film in the' Bell
Ssytem’s Science Series, “OUR M. SUN” on television. A few
days ago I had the good fortune to attend a preview of the
second film entitled “HEMO THE MAGNIFICENT.” This film
employs cartoon characters, “live” actors, animated sequence
and unique microscope and X-ray movies to tell the story of blood
and its circulation throughout the body. Dr. Research and
Fiction Writer, roles played by Richard Carlson and Dr. Frank
Baxter explain (with the help of Professor Anatomy) the de
velopment of the circulatory system from the one cell animals
before the dawn of time.
Don’t miss the educational and entertaining show over
WNAO-TV on Wednesday, March 20, 1957, at 9:00 p.m. After the
telecast on the 20th, the film will be available to schools and
other interested groups. Give us a call if you would like to use
this film.
Here Are Hints for
Home Meat Curing
If you haven’t killed hogs yet,
it’s too late—unless you are close
enough to a locker plant that can
process the meat for you. The
weather arfter March 1 is usually
too uncertain to do farm curing.
John A. Christian, animal hus
bandry specialist for the N. C. Ag
ricultural Extension Service at
State College, says there are still
“many hogs on Tar Heel farms to
be slaughtered for home consump
tion.” These hogs can safely be
processed most any time where
locker plants are available. Most
communities have locker and pro
cessing plants available to slaugh
ter, process and cure these “late”
arrivals.
The important things in home
hog killing are, of course, curing
and care of cured meats. Meats
hanging in the smokehouse must
be taken care of to see that in
sect damage is kept to a minimum.
Beginning March 1 this becomes
highly important, declares Chris
tian.
Any meat that is cured in a lock
er plant and brought back to the
farm during the spring and sum
mer months should be bagged and
hung immediately to allow for
moisture loss so the meat will age
properly. At no time should cured"
meat be put on shelves or in bas
kets. This causes molding and off
flavors. It takes about six months
for ■& ham to develop the
right age flavor, says the special
ist. Hams hung during the sum
mer months will attain a high
flavor as temperature in the 80’s
is necessary to develop “high age”
flavor.
Christian reminds farmers that
in this day and time “Anytime
is hog killing time,” but insists that
temperature is the hog killer’s big
gest enemy.

Morris’ ingenuity to get them to
and from camp.
When new GMC trucks, equip
ped with hydromatic transmission,
replaced the World War II ma
chines, Sgt. Morris studied Tech
nical Manuals until he could name
and identify the thousands of parts
in each vehicle. He lavished the
same attention on the new trucks
that he had given those they re
placed.
Sgt. Morris’ devotion to duty
extends far beyond the motor sec
tion. In the eight years since he en
listed, he has attended all but seven
drills and has been to all sum
mer encampments at Ft. Jackson,
S. C., Ft. McClellan, Ala., and Ft.
Bragg.
To further his knowledge of au
tomotive mechanics, Sgt. Morris
requested permission to attend the
Wheel Vehicle Mechanics Course
at Ft. Jackson.
Despite several days of class
work missed because of illness, the
Zebulon guardsman was commend
ed for his work as he finished in
the top group of honor students.
Returning to Zebulon March 1,
he was assigned Motor Sergeant
of the unit by Capt. Jack Potter,
commanding officer. As head of the
motor section, he has charge of
maintenance for the eight 6x6
trucks, two % ton trucks, and
three jeeps used by BatteVy A.
In addition, he must keep com
plete records of all vehicle opera
tion.
Sgt. Morris succeeds Sgt Cooper
Moss as Motor Sergeant. Sgt. Moss
has been reassigned Chief of the
Ammunition Section.
The new Motor Sergeant is mar
ried to the former Miss Rena Bis
sett. They live on Route 3, Zebu
lon.
We of Battery A congratulate Sgt.
Morris for his successful comple
tion of the Wheel Vehicle Mechan
ics Course with a grade of Super
ior, and also for his promotion to
Sergeant.
