grace, a soft loveliness not seen in
many years This season curves arc

When you take your spring suit
out of the closet and the seat falls
out of it, you call this man up. He
is used to getting telephone calls
from people who want to know if
he knows anything about molhs.

In the Middle Age-. Kuropeans
believed that if you wrapped

clothes in a wooden box and throw
a handlul ol pine cones.
Did that work'.'
"Only if the box was air-tight
and the clothes were clean when
inside. The same thing applies
to paper bags and cedar chests
now. Cedar chests, if they are

appetite of any visiling moths."
Mothballs and crystals take the

Teachers' Salary Boosts
Are Called Inadequate
ATLANTA, Ga. (UPi A Nation
al Education Association authority
says fhat today's average teacher
has less purchasing power now
than in .1939. despite heavy salary
increases
Dr. Ra)fHh McDonald of Wash
ington told a southern regional
conference of educators here that
further inflation is taken for
granted, in regard to teachers' pay.
As a result, he predicted, the end
of the present school year might
find schools in a worse financial
crisis than during 1947. He charged
that thousands of teachers have no
real interest in the orofession and
take it up only during depression
years.

Junior Growers
Invited To Enter
Garden Contest
North Carolina junior growers
whose members won five awards in
the 1947 production and marketing
contest of the National Junior Veg
etable Growers Association will
have another opportunity in 1948
to improve their stellar records.
In announcing the eighth annual
contest. Prof. Grant B.. Snyder ol
the University of Massachusetts,

points out that North Carolina
hoys and girls between the ages of
14 and 21 are now eligible to com
pete for the $6,000 in agricultural
scholarships offered by A. and P.

"The annual contest, in which
junior growers from 43 states par
ticipated last year, is designed to
mlce the farmer more effect ive
through improved production and
marketing methods," Snyder said.
"It takes on added importance dur
ing 1948 because of the associa
tion's pledge to President Truman
to support the nation's food conser
vation program."
