Friday, September 12, 1952 ► High School Students, Here’s Your Chance To Win A Valuable Prize THE FILOT—Southern Mnes, North The National Wildlife Federa-*" im tion has asked the high school stu dents of America to create a car toon character which can be used to tell the story of conservation —and offered prizes totaling $700 in a nationwide contest. The cartoon contest will take the place of the annual conserva tion poster contest which the Fed eration has sponsored for 15 years. Entries must be submitted next Jan. 31 and winners will be an a similar cartoon symbol which can be used to urge Americans to take care of their natural re sources. The Federation had these sug gestions for young artists: ’ Entries may be a caricature of an animal or person, or the per sonification of an animal in- the manner of a Disney character. It cautioned, however, against copy ing the style of another artist. In nounced during National W^ld-ITlL f • , life Week in March, 1953. • entry must be ori. As in the previous poster con- design, tests, the cartoon competition j character may be will be divided into junior-high action or pose sug- gestive of some conservation and senior-high groups. Students anywhere in the' United States, from the seventh grade through the last year in high school, are eligible. First prize in the Junior division —grades 7, 8 and 9—is $100. The second best entry will win $50; thi»-d, $25; the next ten best, $10 edch. Top winner in the Senior divi sion—grades 10, 'll and 12—will get $250. Second prize is $50; third, $25; next ten, $10 each. The Federation said the contest was inspired by the success of “Smokey Bear,” the cartoon char acter developed by the U. S. For est service in its advertising cam paign to prevent forest fires. The wildlife organization hopes to find problem or practice and should be accompanied by an appropriate legend or slog^an. The theme may be soil conservation, forestry, water pollution control, flood pre- yention, protection of wildlife or plant life, or another phase of natural resource management. The drawing should be done in pen. and ink, pencil, charcoal, scratchboard, water color, or oth er standard medium suitable for reproduction in a newspaper or magazine.

It is a bit unfair, however, to take the known deaths that have occurred from these poisons, and infer from them that there is danger for all. Little ^Slaying Power’ “Parathion is recommended and used in accordance with the state and federal recommendations. At no time is its danger minimized. However, parathion is a highly Volatile insecticide, and has very little ‘staying power’ or residual effect. Its ability to kill is largely confined to contact, and it is class ed as a contact poison. Fruit snrayed - with parathion will kill bugs for a short period, usually measured in hours, sometimes in a day or two at most. It is not recommended for use closer than 30 days before harvest. Has Dr. Mobbs any tests to show the parts ner million of parathion in fresh North Carolina peaches?” Capel said that it was ‘“absurd” to stress the refusal of insurance firms to write policies on workers in insecticide plants, and to infer that the hazard extended to the general public. He also challenged the state ment of Dr. H. E. Whitmire of St. Louis, a research chemist, that North Carolina is perhaps the Conveise'!®^?®®* and dead L-onverse jy insecticides. Farmers Interested Capel added, however: “We farmers are vitally interested in the results of any investigation of agricultural poisons. Let this in vestigation be, however, broad in its scope. Let it evaluate the value of the insecticides. . . Let us see that all the facts are un covered.” Canel pointed out that much re search remains to be done on the new drugs in use today. “It wasn’t too many years ago,” he said, “that the use of the first of these drugs, sulfanilimide, resulted in widespread deaths and after effects. Did that ston the use of these drugs? Now we are finding out even more about others of the same family, but .look at the good they have done. Does not the vir tual elimination of pneumonia as a killer more than Offset the dam ages that may have occurred? “Research is good hut let it be scientific research, not a cru sade to throw back agricultural production 50 years. . . We farm ers will co-operate in any such research. . .” Every four weeks the new ceil ing price charts will be sent to the lood merchants by the Charlotte UBb and once each week an amended chart will be provided each store. These charts will be posted in places where they may be read easily in order that the customers may check prices on the food counters against those on the chart.. Food dealers may sell b^ow the ceiling price—and the UBfc) expects that many foods will be sold at below ceiling, Mr. Shute declared. No food dealer, how ever will be permitted to sell any arhcle above the posted ceiling price. ® Ceiling prices will be determin ed by the Charlotte OPS after thorough study of cost factors and tne office will cooperate with the merchants in an effort to see that the program is administered fair ly. The Charlotte OPS officials assured by the grocers that the program will be of aid to them in conducting their business and will give them an effective means of combatting the infla tionary movement of food prices Robert R. Christie will be sup ervisor of the community pricing program under Frank F. Cook district price executive, Mr. Shute announced. Vass Teacher's Falher Dies In Greensboro R. M.
