Turkey Circular
“Raising Turkeys in Confine
ment,” is the title of a new circu- !
ar released by the State College i
Extension Service. Lee W. Her- !
rick, turkey specialist, prepared
the new publication.
The author explains that inter
est in the confinement system of
raising turkeys has increased con
siderably in North Carolina dur
ing recent years. Confinement
raising is a system in which thb
birds are grown to market age on
raised platforms which are enclos
ed in wire.
The ciiculai compares the ad
vantages and disadvantages of
both the confinement and range
systems of raising turkeys. Other
sections are devoted to buildings,
equipment, feed and vices. Many
illustrations are included.
Requests for copies of the eir
icular, No. 354, should be made to
any county farm agent or to the
I Agricultural Editor, State College
! Station, Raleigh.

Many Entries Listed For
Jaycee Tennis Tournament
-*
Many entries are being received
by the committee in charge of the
! Wiiliamston Junior Chamber of
('.ommei re Tenuis Tournament toj
be held here the latter part of this j
month.
While play has not been fre
quent enough here for the past
few years to make it possible for
players to work out teams for
doubles because few of them are
very well acquainted with what
! to expect of their fellow players,
a large number of entries in the
singles division is expected and al
I ready there are a number of pairs
1 entered in the doubles.
It was indicated yesterday aft
| ernoon that around 20 have enter
ed the singles competition while
eight or ten teams have entered
the doubles section as teams and
a number of others have entered
with the job of pairing them left
to tlie committee in charge. It
has been emphasized that those
i entering the tournament are not
being required to qualify as ex
pert players and anyone can enter
by paying the fee of 50c for each
division of play or $1.00 for entry |
in both singles and doubles.
The list up to yesterday showed
some who have played very little ,
tennis for years as well as some
who have played more or less con
sistently for many years. Includ
ed in the list of doubles teams
are Vernon Bunting and Bill Spi
vey who were the winners of the
last tournament held here years
ago. They have to be classed as j
favorites in this one also, but it is j
| apparent that some of the others j
: will be trying to give them a race |
| for it.
Frank Weaver. Wilbur Jackson
or Junie Peel will accept the entry j
of anyone who wishes to play in
the tournament and help reviye
interest in the game of tennis
among the people here,
j Four all-weather courts are
! available for play now. Young
jsters are urged to come out and
| play during the hours prior to ti:00
| p. m. every day except Wednes
day so that the courts will be free
| for use by older persons front 6:00

Death Rate In
Europe Declines
_a_- ■ W
A statement made public by the
World Health Organization, with
headquarters in Geneva, Swit
zerland, shows that in the past
fifty years the death rate in west
ern Europe has declined by 42
percent. The organization esti
mated, on the basis of a study
of mortality, that t ,752,000 West
ern Europeans of all ages and
sexes who fifty years ago would
have died were now being saved
each year.
The study was based on thir
teen European countries with a
total population of about 203,000,
000. On the basis of the 1900 death
rates, 4,178,000 persons would
have died in these countries in
one year, Instead the figure has
; | been cut by 1,732,000—a reduc
. „uii * id oercent.

How “C-Rich’ are your canned
tomatoes? Now is the time to do
a little thinking about your sup
ply of canned tomatoes for the *
winter. They are a valuable
source of vitamin C. Vitamin C
protects the health of the teeth
and blood vessels, helps in the
healing of wounds, and aids in
jvarding off many infections.
Since it is not stored in our bodies,
every day's food must provide us
with an adequate supply.

Believed to have been inspired
by the antics of a group of local
house Wives and business women
while taking swimming and div
ing lessons at the pool under the
direction of Dr. J. A. Edens, a
comic diving routine is to be the
preliminary event at the big free
program at the Williamston Muni
cipal Swimming Pool next Thurs
day night, August 11.
The women themselves will
probably be on hand to see if the
mimics do a good job and to laugh
again at the things they have al
ready had a lot of fun_ in doing
while learning to take care of
themselves in the water. Dr.
Edens has not had a large class!
but he has had an attentive one
and one whose members refused j
to let mistakes hamper their ef
forts.
As for the free program at the
poo) it gets underway officially at
7:30 with the '100 pennies scram
ble" which is sure to be exciting.
No. 2 on the program will be a 90
ft. free style race (the pool is 90
feet long); 3—90-It. backhand
race; 4—90- I t. breaststroke race;
5—180-ft. freestyle race; 6-—90-1't.
double crawl race which is a spe
cial race with the swimmers oper
ating in pairs; 7—360->ft. relay race
with teams of four; 8—90-i't. girls
free style; 9—-balloon race of 90
ft.; and 10—match box race in
which the contestants swim with
a box of matches in their mouth
and the race is won by the first to
strike a match after reaching tire
finish line. The last event on the
program will be a diving contest
without the comic effects.
Entries are invited from all over
the county and especially from the
out-of-town youngsters who have

Gambling in home canning
doesn’t pay—and that’s putting it
mildly, home canning specialists
say. They explain that any house
wife who is going to the trouble
and time of canning should make
sure that all equipment is in best
condition and that she uses fresh
food of good quality and follows
the most up-to-date directions.
Housewives sometimes are
tempted to save a penny here and
there by using imperfect jars or
lids. That's hazardous. Any jar
with the slightest crack or chip
should be discarded because these
defects may prevent an airtight
seal and thus lead to spoilage. The
same is true of lids with dented
or spread edges, or masonry-type
caps with loose or cracked linings.
The flat lips of two-piece metal
closures cannot be re-used so
should be discarded when the jar
of food is opened. ’Generally it is
safest to buy these lids new each
year, even if some unused are left
from the year before. The pres
sure gauge of a canncr should be
cheeked for accuracy each year.
The specialists remind house
wives that canning cannot im
prove any food and therefore that
putting up poor quality food does
not pay. They advise using only
fresh, firm, sound fruits and
patronized the pool so faithfully
during the summer.
