One night recently nine men
gathered together to see about the
support of a Williamston baseball
j club. They dug deep in their
pockets and came up with $3.00
I apiece. This was necessary to
! add to the treasury in order that
the $50.00 entrance fee could be
made for Williamston.
A finance committee will now
go forth and raise the initial
amount of money necessary to
equip the team, the publicity
chairman has announced. “Please

Safely Training j
For the Children j
The way your child walks, runs. *
and plays mu\ well determine his
future or lack of it. the Depait
. ;.v.e.(,>*,.M itev ’••■Ivs. .to,';'1 North _
Carolina parents today.
The Department pointed out
that inadequate safety training on
the part of parents is an indirect
cause for many of the annual traf
fie deaths among children under
15 years of age.
The Department figures show
that llfi children under 15 weio
killed in traffic accidents in North
! Carolina last year. About a thu d
| of the children were playing in
I the street at the time, about one
sixth of them ran or walked from .
1 behind parked cars and a fourth
I of them were struck while cross
ing between intersections. In far j
too many of these cases the child |
had never been taught that what I
j he was doing was dangerous.
It’s ridiculous for parents to ig
nore the fact that, sooner ot later,
; Junior is going to have to he cut
! loose and sent into traffic alone, j
the Department said. Self reliance
in coping with today’s traffic must
he taught our children. They
must know how to walk and play
safely.
The Department urged parents
to impress the following rules on
their children:
1. Remember—the streets are
for ears —not scooters, tricycles or
play.
2. Cross the street only at the
corner, preferably at one with an
automatic signal or traffic officer.
Look both ways, then for turning
traffic, and cross only when the
way is clear.
3. Never forget that bicycles are
subject to the same rules and re
gulations governing automobiles,
including the careful observance
of signs and signals.
With llfi children under 15
years of age, alone, killed in traf
fic accidents last year, the De
partment said, it's time we quit
laying the blame exclusively on
j the shoulders of the motorists,
: the child’s immaturity and Fate.
Parents must know that they are
involved as deeply in this prob
lem as anyone!

Announcement! i
It is with a great deal oi pleasure and pride that we announce the open
ing of our
INSECTICIDE
Mixing Plant
It is without a doubt one of the most modern in this section of
the United States. The machines were built by the Aldron
Company in Pennsylvania according to specifications prepar
ed by the nation's foremost authorities on pest control.
The plant has an hourly capacity of two tons and is equipped
with a storage, pre-mixer, blender and conditioner. The prop
er proportions of each ingredient used in the manufacture of
any insecticide is exceedingly important and the mixing of
these ingredienis is done by machinery in this large and mod
ern plant. The materials go into bags on conveyors where
they are automatically weighed and the bags automatically
sealed.
Chemical engineers are emphasizing the necessity of proper
mixing which in reality is the secret of effectiveness of insecli
’ citi&r Solne ingredients are so potent that the mix ratio runs
in some instances twenty to five. If the mix is not thorough
some of the dust will have a concentrated amount of poison
while other portions will be without effective poison.

Insecticide Plant
