There's no profit in doing a job
half-way, believes Dan Jones,
Johnston County farmer of Smith
field, Route 2. '
When Jones, a' turkey grower,
buys a day-old poult, he keeps It
qntil it is fully grown, finished,
oven-dressed, and delivered to the
consumer.
Starting in the business four
years ago, Jones retailed turkeys
in Smithfield and Selma. As the
demand grew, he increased the
number of birds in his flock. Last
year, according to Lee W. Herrick,
Jr., turkey specialist for the State
College Extension Service, he rais
ed 1,200 turkeys, sold all of these
retail, and had to buy several hun
dred more to take care of his cus
tomers. Jones has requests for turkeys
every month in the year. Most of
the birds are sold right on the
farm. All are dressu and drawn
ready for the oven. He has a 32-cubic-foot
upright-style deep-freezer
in which he stores some birds
after they are dressed.
Because some customers found
whole birds too large for their
families, Jones is now selling tur
key halves also. Buyers who pur
chase halves have been well pleas
ed with th'em.
When one customer wanted a
big torn but didn't have an oven
large enough to do the roasting,
Jones roasted the torn himself. Af
ter that the word spread, and now
he receives quite a number of or
ders for birds already roasted and
ready for the table. He has even
tried roasting a whole turkey, eat
ing half at the time and freezing
the other half for later use.
Herrick says other growers might
profit by Jones' experience and
try a similar plan with their own
turkeys. They woudl benefit by re
ceiving the profit of dressing and
retailing the birds, which is often
larger than the profit of raising the
turkeys. They would benefit by re
benefit, since they would be able
to buy turkey halves or quarters
at all seasons of the year.

Special Committees
Appointed For Saunook
NCEA Raps Action
On Teacher Pay
A few days before the 1949 ses
sion of the state legislature ad
journed, the house and senate
adopted a conference committee
report providing a salary schedule
ranging from $2,081 to $2,787 an
nually for teachers with "A" cer
tificates. This action drew strong olficial
criticism from the North Carolina
Education Association.
Retiring Associaton Presdent A.
C. Dawson, Jr., who s also chair
man of the organization's legisla
tive committee, and Executive Sec
retary Mrs. Ethel Perkins Edwards,
expressed the official stand of the
organization in a 12-point state
ment. , In part, the statement declared:
"We feel that the salary range
fir 'A' grade teachers falls far too
short of the campaign promises of
a $2,400 to $3,600 schedule and too
fr short of the $2,200 to $3,100
schedule recommended and sup
ported by Governor Scott.
"We consider 74 million- dollars
for permanent improvement and
the 47 millions already on hand as
appropriated by' the 1947 General
Assembly but not spent, plus the
25 millions added for school build
ings by the compromise to be too
many millions for brick and mortar

Boy's Pipe Smoking
Causes Excitement
DENVER (UP i Five-year-old
Jerry Mickle, left alone while his
mother and sister went shopping,
spied his father's pipe on a table
and decided to experiment.
He lit the pipe ;nd tossed the
match in a clothes closet, promptly
starting a fire.
Jerry poured water on the blaze
and his neighbors called firemen,
who confined the fire to the Mickle
bedroom.
Jerry's cat. Tommy, didn't re
treat quickly enough and was over
come by the smoke. Firemen re
vived the cat after five minutes of
applying artificial respiration.
Jerry has- given up smoking.
Being A Hero Results
In Fine For Flier
IPSWICH, Mass. i UP) When
James Hopkinson, 2'.i, a Methuen
was hailed as a hero by newspapers
reporting his rescue of a passenger
from his seaplane which overturn
ed in Ipswich Bay, one of the most
interested readers was Frank P.
I Sweeney.
Sweeney, who is a Massachusetts
Aeronautical Commission inspec
tor, appeared against Mopkinson in
district court later when the young
pilot was fined $10 for careless and
reckless operation of an aircraft
and $10 for carrying a passenger
while holding only a student's-certificate.
liofl dollars for salaries added by
adoption of the Conference report.
"We are convinced hat the
salary schedule provided by the
compromise will not recruit new
teachers or retain those now in
the profession.
"We do not believe that adequate
pay for teachers should be depen
dent upon a contingent bonus at I
time when the state is able to
guarantee adequate salaries from
surplus funds now in hand.
"We believe the people of the
state should decide by a $50,000,000
bond issue whether they wish the
state to build new school houses."
