Slate Has Too Many Boiler Explosions, Commissioner Says Labor Commissioner, For rest Shuford Urges In spection Be Made Deaths and serious injury, not to mention damage to personal proper ty. from boiler explosions are far too numerous in North Carolina and the total must be reduced." Forrest H. Shuford. State Commissioner of La bor, stated today. Mr. Shuford made known that two persons had been killed and five others seriously injured as a result of boiler explosions which have occured within the past sixty days. Total property damage from these accidents amount ed to more than ten thousand dol lars. In 1935 the General Assembly en acted a Boiler Inspection Law whish makes it a misdemeanor to operate a steam boiler at a pressure in excess of fifteen pounds, without an operat ing certificate. Operating certificates are issued by the Department of La bor to owners of boilers which are found in safe condition, following rigid inspection by State-Commssion ed Boiler Inspectors. Only inspectors for insurance companies which ope rate in this State, and State-employed inspectors are commissioned inspec tors, and these men are not issued a commission until they prove their competency by means of a rigid ex amination and by experience in this particular field. Had boilers which have exploded been inspected, and properly repaired in accordance with the State Law, they probably would not have exploded. Because of the fact that the State Department of Labor has only one boiler inspector at the present time it is impossible to ferret out every boiler in the state as some of them are located in isolated sections. In spections are therefore dependent upon incidental location ol the boil ers, by the Inspector, or upon notifi cation by the boiler owner of the lo cation of their boiler. It frequently happens that th first knowledge that the Department has of the location of a boiler is a newspaper report cover ing an account of an explosion. “We cannot positively guarantee that an inspection will prevent an ex plosion,” Mr. Shuford stated, “but we do know that the chances of an ac cident happening are greatly minim ized by an inspection. It is interest ing to note that not a single boiler in spected by an authorized boiler in spector has exploded since the es tablishment of the Bureau of Boiler Inspection by the General Assembly of 1935. “It is my earnest hope that every boiler owner wil cooperate with the State Department of Labor by noti fying the Department of the location of any uninspected boilers. If those owning and operating such boilers realize the tremendous danger which they present to life and property, however, I am sure that their cooper ation will be forthcoming and that they will realize that the inspection fee of from seven to ten dollars pro vided for by the law will be repaid many times over by thep rotection af forded.” -- Whiiewash Advised To Brighten Up and Help Looks of Farm --^ Several Formulas Given by Miss Pauline Smith, Dis trict Home Agent -® It’s :v-rticts, and that means that Clean CTp! Rake Up! campaigns are in progress. Miss Anne Pauline Smith, district home agent of the State College Extension Service, says that whitewashing pays as big divi dends in improving the appearance of a farmstead as any sttriT;.? cleaning1 practice. She recommends the following whitewash for exteriors, such as out buildings and fences, and says it is waterproof: Slack 62 pounds (one bushel) of quicklime with 12 gallons of hot water. Pour into this a mix ture of two pounds of common table salt and one pound of sulphate of zinc, dissolved in two gallons of hot water. Finally add two gallons of skimmed milk and mix thoroughly. Another formula which is suitable for either exterior or interior use fol lows: Slake one-half bushel of quick or lump lime with boiling water, keep ing it covered during the process. Strain it and add a pack of salt dis solved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice put in boiling water and boiled to a thin paste, one-half pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear glue dissolved in warm water. Mix these well together and let the mixture stand for several days. Keep the whitewash thus prepared in a kettle or portable furnace and when used put on as hot as possible with painter’s whitewash brush. Miss Smith advises that one ounce of alum added for each gallon of Whitewash increases its adhesive quality: that a pint of molasses added for each five gallons of whitewash causes it to penetrate the wood or plaster; and that a pound of cheap bar soap dissolved in a gallon of boil ing water, and added to five gallons of thick whitewash will impart a gloss like that of oil paint. —-—<S>“ PLAINTS TREES Walter R. Gibbs of Lake Landing, Hyde County, has recently set 6,000 cypress seedlings, 2,000 slash pines and 1,000 black locust seedlings. His locust have survived 95 percent, his slash pine 85 percent and his cypress 80 percent. Two years ago, Mr. Gibbs planted three acres of pines that ghow a 95 percent survival. SCENE OF BOILER EXPLOSION The above picture shows the scene of a recent boiler explosion at a saw mill in Columbus County. One person was killed and seven others barely managed to escape. The State Commissioner of Labor, Forrest L. Shuford. urges that frequent inspections be made of all boilers in or der to prevent repetition of such scenes as this.

A grower who has 3 or 4 sows can take advantage of this offer, it should excite the interest of smaller growers; and a genera’ adoption of an effec tive swine sanitation practice should eventually result in a higher price to all of our growers. All of us to gether can do a real piece of work in an aducational way. with demonstra tions in swine sanitation. We suggest that you as county agent lead this movement, enlisting the cooperation of the teachers of agriculture and the Farm Security Administration superivsiors. We believe it would be a good idea for the white county agents to call together his teachers of agriculture, his Farm Security super visor and his negro county agent, for a discussion of swine sanitation. Ask each worker to conduct at least one swine sanitation demonstration. En courage the small growers to follow the plan because it will pay them good returns in the form of healthy pigs that will require less feed per 100 pounds of gain. No application for parasite inspec tion is to be accepted by Kingan and Co. unless it is approved by the coun ty agent. In cases where the primary responsibility for the conduct of the demonstration is assumed by a tea cher of agriculture, a Farm Security Supervisor or the Negro County Agent, that individual should sign the application in the place provided. Where the county agent supervises a demonstration his signature is suf ficient. Please send one copy of the application to Kingan and Company, and one copy to this office. In order to meet the requirements for approval a grower must: 1. Scrub the sows thoroughly with soap and water, a few days before I Judges of Superior Courts To Wear Silk Robes in the Future — Conference of Judges Pro poses To Add Dignity To State Courts Holding their first annual confer ence near Asheville a short while ago.

Before farrowing time, place the [sows on land that has been cultivat ed since hogs ranged on it. and keep them there until the pigs are weaned 3. Tf farrowing houses are used, they must be clean. 4. Keep other hogs away from this pasture and keep the pigs away from dirty hog lots. 5. Keep the pigs on clean land un til they are at least 4 months old or have attained an average weight of 100 pounds. I believe this premium will be quite an inducement to our growers to adopt sanitation practices. I also believe we should emphasize the fact that the sanitation plan will bring about additional returns in more pigs weaned per litter, and larger gains per 100 pounds of feed con sumed. This increased return alone is worth more than the cost of sani tation. and when the 25 cents per 100 pounds is added it seems to be the n1fl.fi shnillrl affrorfh/D STATEMENT NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL INSURANCE WIS.

Carl Woodard of Spring : Hope, Route 1, has also selected beef cattle for a 4-H club projct. ings carried on at the bar of justice, and to promote an impartial and equal justice. The objects of the conference, as pointed out by the conference secre tary are: To make of the courts a place of exact and impartial and equal justice: To ask a greater re spect for law and for the courts, and by uniform rules and procedure to encourage greater dignity in the ad ministration of justice; To encour age the enactment of legislation in futherance of justice and tending to simplify and modernize the law. That the dignity of the courts might be enhanced, the conference unanimously expressed itself in fa vor of the use of robes by the judges and mapped out plans of courtroom proi .‘dure. The conference would have the county commissioners com ply with Consolated Statutes 7538 and immediately purchase a stan dard of colors, preferably in silk, con sisting of a United States Color and a State of North Carolina color, each with gold fringe tassels and poles up on which is mounted a brass eagle, and that upon receipt of the same the sheriff of the county shall cause jthe colors to be displayed upon the I bench during each session of the Su I perior court, the United States color j to be placed on the right of the ‘bench and the North Carolina flag I to be placed on the left of the bench. The rules of procedure follow: The sheriffs require all persons in the court room to arise at each con vening and each recess of a session of the court. The sheriff shall keep the space within the bar open at all times for officers of the court, attorneys and litigants, and shall provide for the use of jurors not in the box and wit nesses in the case being tried front seats in the court room, the jurors and witnesses to be seated separate ly. That the sheriff and the clerk and a competent deputy of each shall be in attendance at all times while court is in session. That in so far as it is practicable to do so each witness shall be sworn individually as he is called to the witness stand, and the clerk shall stand during the administration of the oath, and he shall administer it in a clear audible, intelligent and impressive manner. That the clerk and the jury shall stand when taking the verdict of the jury. Upon motion of Judge Wiliiam Hy slop Summer Burgwyn, the confer ence passed a resolution prohibiting bystanders in the courtroom from serving as talis jurors, to the end that the use of so-called professional jur ors will be decreased and. if possible abolished.
