Happenings In The Bear Grass School Miss Dorothy Owens ot the facul ty has organized a Handicraft club. The pupils who are members of this club have shown an intense interest in the work, and are busy making different articles which they will present as Christmas gifts. Among the things which they are learning to do are embroidery work, making purses, knitting, rug making, and plain sewing. Miss Owens, a capable supervisor, has organized this club primarily for the benefit of those girls who do not play basketball and it has proved to be very instructual as well as interesting. Both the boys' and girls' athletic associations are really going to work practicing basketball so that they may have a good team. Mr. Hick man is supervising both teams with Miss Doris Davis and Earl Rober son assisting him. The Parent-Teacher Association is getting up a play, "Henpecked Hen ry," to be presented some time be fore Thanksgiving. The exact date will be announced later. Those tak ing part in the play are Leroy Har rison as Henpecked Henrv: Miss Vir ginia Shindler as Erella, his wife; Garland Whitley as Ace; Miss Made line Barnes, his adoring wife; Miss Virginia Smith as Eda, the movie star; Miss Jean Elliott as Gladys, her bashful young sister; Miss Doris Da vis as Pauline, her old-maid sister; Mrs. Rossell Rogers, as Ellen, the daughter of Henpecked Henry; Mr. Syndey Beacham as Kurt Little, El len's suitor; Mrs. Ruth Hazel Harris as Lottie, the maid; and Mr. T. O. Hickman as Mr. Crlpps, a strict bus iness man. The play is a roaring comedy and will furnish two hours of splendid j entertainment. Hie shop work is progressing rap- j idly under the supervision of Mr. Hickman. The boys are especially in terested in making book cases and are really turning out fine specimens of handiwork. On October 31st, the senior class was entertained at the home of Misses Laura and Elva Leggett with a masquerade Halloween party. Both indoor and outdoor games and deli cious refreshments were enjoyed by all during the course of the evening. On Wednesday of last week in | chapel we had as our visiting speak er, Mr. McClure, of New Bern. Mr. McClure has been holding a revival meeting in the Bear Grass Presby terian Church. Approaching Problem Of Increasing Egg Production I Foundation of any good poultr; program Is the kind of stock pur chased. Although careful feedin; and good management are highly im portant, they will not make goo< layers out of chicks that do not havi good breeding behind them. With i heavy demand for chicks anticipat ed at the beginning of 1942, poultry men would be wise to place their or ders as far in advance as possible. I should be borne in mind that cheai chicks are usually the most expen sive in the long run and that monei spent for breeding quality is an ex cellent investment. New Sinclair Tanker Launched Ahead Of Schedule (Above) S.S. Sinclair Superflamr prior io launching. (Right) Mrs. Harry A. Hassan who christened the Superflame. One of the ships recently launch ed. ahead of schedule, according to Mr. N. C. Green, local agent for the Sinclair Refining Company, is the new tanker "Sinclair Superflame" built by the Fore River Yard of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. "Ships like this one," Mr. Green pointed out, "are one answer to the eastern oil shortage. The Superflame has a capacity of 95,000 barrels of petrol eum products and in a month's time will haul about 8,000,000 gallons of oil from the Gulf to North Atlantic ports." The keel of the vessel was laid on May 31st and it is expected that the ship will be in service a month af ter launching, or three months ahead of the original schedule. Mrs. Harry A. Hassan, wife of the manager of the Marine Sales of the company, christened the ship. The ship was designed by the Sin clair Refining Company's Marine de partment to make over 14 knots per hour and to carry the largest cargo for her weight and size. It is the last word in comfort for the crew, with hot and cold running water in every room and reading lights over every berth. The vessel is also equipped with J the latest type of fathometer which automatically gives the depths of waters over which the ship is ap j proaehing, a gyroscopic compass which steers the vessel automatical- 1 ly; ship-to-shore telephone; radio di rectional finder, together with the ] very latest radio equipment. The Super'flame. Mr. Green says, j is the third Sinclair tanker to be launched at the Fore River Yard this I year and three others are on the | ways there at this time. She is one of ten tankers ordered by the com pany in May, 1940. The other four! are being built by the Federal Ship building Corporation at Kearny, N I J.

The extension specialist said thut certain varieties of pecans are re sistantto the scab, while others are susceptible to attack. Immune and An'*?n?? var,c,,cs include: Mobile, n M,,ore' Nelson, Stuart, Frat sches Moneymaker. Techc, Russell and Success. Among the varieties susceptible to scab are: San Saba, Georgia, Delmas, Van Demon, Bol ton, Schley and Pabst. ! 'In planting new orchards, espec ially small home orchards ,and in replacing trees in old orchards, it is advisable to use immune or resistant varieties, Garriss said A good sanitary practice is to de stroy the diseased leaves and shucks as they fall to the ground. A Bodeaux mixture spray, applied four times at three-week intervals, starting im mediately after pollination has taken place, or when the tips of the small nuts have turned brown, will tend to control the disease if carried out over a period of several seasons, Gar riss advised.

They hope eventually to receive a payment of $3.00 per acre for turning under the legume. E. C. Blair, extension agronomist of N. C. State College, says .the far sighted farmer will sow winter peas even though he has earned all his Triple-A soil building units. "The peas pay much bigger dividends than the $3 per acre government pay ment," he asserted. Using tests carried out by farmers in 1941 as the basis for his state ment, Blair said that winter peas turned under a crop of Austrian win crease the yield of corn that follows as a summer crop by $15 worth per acre. Here are reports of several dem mstrations conducted by farmers in cooperation with their county agents: In Bertie County, W. J. Mizelle turned under a cro pof Austrian win ter peas and produced 48 bushels of corn per acre without fertilizer. Ad joining land of the same type, where no peas were turned under, yielded 28 bushels of corn per acre.

It's the old traveling gypsy fur fleecing game. Unscrupulous personages, seeing a lot of easy "dough" in furs, buy a rickety-rackety; bruken-duwn mo tor car and hit for the country by paths. They drive up to the home of a trapper, give lum a slick line of talk, and drive away with the furs. Often prices paid by these slickers are but one-third to one-half what he would have received had he sold his furs to Jack Daniel, local dealer. The gypsy gets his "cut" by paying less. He waxes fat at the trapper's expense and profit. So goes this nolt-buvine racket. The nameless; chiseling gypsy buy er who goes launching on his way? he gets the real profit leaving the trapper mostly .sad experience. The next time you are approached by a I'lv-by night, nameless bird of passage, give him the gate. Don't part with your furs under any con sideration unless you know the mar ket prices paid by your local dealer. Don t tie fooled by petty sleight-of hand work. It's an old trick of the gypsy to grade one skin extra large, top quality, to gain the trapper's con fidence. and then slap a dozen skins of equal value into the medium pile. Warn your neighbors, your fellow trappers, your ranch and farm friends. h? be on the lookout for this racket Remember that seasoned trappers duwti?rirroiTgh tine years set! their f.-.itrlio. dm el to a local dealui. Ex perience has taught them this is the satisfactory and profitable way for trappers.to sell their pelts.
