Shortage Of Skilled
Workers In The U. S.
Just where to find?or how to
train?the large numbers of work
ers needed for the re-armament pro
gram continues to be one of the big
gest problems of those who must get
this program under way speedily.
There have been demands that a gi
gantic vocational education set-up
be established?perhaps using the
government social agencies?to han
dle this training. Part of the idea
is to transform idle labor into de
fense production. But civilian labor
leaders are objecting strongly to this
suggestion They say speed is not
necessary that we shouldn't depend
on training a new crop, but should
call upon skilled workers, no mat
ter what their age, and put them to
work at full-time, immediately.
They say there are plenty of skill
ed workers, but that a lot of them are
in the upper age brackets, from
which industry has not been hiring
?and they ask that all age bars be
lowered.
Parents Should
Warn Children
A plea to North Carolina parents
to drill into their children the dan
gers of running into the street or
highway was voiced this week by
Ronald Hocutt, director of the High
way Safety Division.
Noting that the May traffic fa
tality report showed an increase in
child pedestrian deaths in this State
and also that several children were
killed in traffic accidents on North
Carolina streets and highways the
first two weeks of June, the safety
director said:
"The fact that ten or more children
in our State have died in the past
30 days as a result of playing in the
street or running into the street or
highway should point a lesson to
every mother and father in North
Carolina.
Children are not as well acquaint
ed with traffic hazards as their par- i
ents arc, and it is the duty and re
sponsibility of parents to pass on to
their children the benefits of their
knowledge and experience in coping
with traffic.
'And not only must parents im
press upon their children the dan
gee-of-playing in the street or Tun
ning into the street or highway, but
they must go farther and provide
safe places for their children to play
away from traffic.
"Our children deserve every pro
tection we can afford them. Let's all
work together to stop their slaughter
of the innocent on our streets and
highTlff ** '

mand of a British expeditionary

Poisons Control
Tobacco Insects
Protection of this year's tobacco
crop against preying insect enemies
is being urged by J. O. Howell, en
tomologist of the State College Ex
tt'UAiuii Service.
Various insecticides or poisons ap
plied in a well-timed and persistent
program of defense will assure the
leaf farmer of a better crop, the
State College man, said.
For instance, the flea bept.li* mav
be corilioiled with a mixture of paris
green and arsenate of lead. One
pound of paris green to five pounds
of arsenate of lead is the recommend
ed proportion.
For small or newly-set plants,
three pounds of this mixture will
treat an acre. For half-grown or
larger plants, four to six pounds will
be necessary. Because of the dense
growth of tobacco and the necessity
of applying the poison on the under
side of the leaf, the mixture is most
effective when dusted. Horn worms
also are controlled with this mix
ture.
The best known control for -bud
worm, another common enemy of
North Carolina's No. 1 cash crop, is
poisoned corn meal bait. When used
in a large scale, one pound of ar
senate of l^nd should be mixed with
50 pounds of corn meal. For smaller
amounts, six heaping tablespoonfuls
of the poison to one peck of meal is
^ y\
recommended.
Applications should be made only
in the morning When ther dobacco
buds are open, and the treatment
should be repeated every wCelc ub
til the crop is topped. One peck, or
12 pnnnris, insufficient for one ap
plication per acre. A small pinch of
the bait is dropped Into each hud,
Howell pointed out. ?

Represent County
In Health Contest
Miss Mary Lou Roberson, of the
Robersonville 4-H club, and How
ell Peel, of the Farm Life club, rep
resented Martin County at a district
health contest in Tarboro recently.
Competing with representatives
from twenty-one counties in this
section of North Carolina, Misa Rob
erson and Young Peel maintained
high ratings, but a young lady from
Hertford County and a young man
from Wilson County were crow
ed queen and king of health for the
district. .
Miss Roberson, who lives in Ev
arctts, had a rating of 93, and young
Peel, a resident of Griffins Town
ahip, rated 94 in the district compe
tition.
Allies' Needs Can
Be Met By 11 S.
The efficient manner in which the;
defense services laid before machine
tool producers their needs, encour
ages capitol observers to feel that
the whole defense program will be
worked out in more and more busi
ness-like manner as it proceeds. An
earlier conference of the same nature
wtih aircraft producers left the im
pression that the planning was in
complete and wobbly. Hut the ma
chine-tool folks received specific in
formation regarding defense needs
and in turn were asked to report
promptly on the matter of plant ex
pansion, skilled labor, and materials
that will be required to make the
porgram come to life .
