'. that infants are future people and, therefore, have certain Parents, grandparents and ad miring friends have a tendency to take advantage of these helpless citizens. They ' evolve fantastic namts for them, which the chil dren subsequently hate but can't do anything about. Oh, sure they can go to court, or they can use Freauentlv parents call , children by nicknames which dog said infants through to senility. i'hey take pictures of children ni poses which embarrass them all through life, particularly if the infant grows up to be famous or lAPimiC And they talk baby-talk to them. In the event I were a member J of the Committee on Babies' Bights, an orglauhatton I'm now toying with establishing, I would ; have a mandatory rule that bab l ies be given a temporary name. At voting age, the individual would be given a chance to take a long look at his own name and ' some others he's heard and de- cide how he could be tagged ! for the rest of his life. I would impose harsh punlsh- merit on parents who immediately nickname ineir nrsi man-cnnu "Butch." It really seems years since I've seen a proud parent of a boy who wasn't fondly called "Butch." Little girls should be equally well protected from parents who give them boys names, l kow a nice little girl named Christopher and boy, is she going to be sick and tired of that one by the time she's of dating age. I would also make rules against family names, except maybe an occasional "Junior" if no one call ed him by that alone. In my own family, which runs to fancy names for the girls, we have a grandmoth er, daughter 'and grandchild all named "Priscilla." As far back as I can remember there's been "Big Pris," "Little Pris," and when the baby comes along it was impossible to call her "Little Pris," so they had to evolve a nickname. And that has turned out to be "Kitsy." We also have a series of "Johns" which has resulted in a six-foot-two young man who drives a golf ball thousands of yards and has been out of college for years and still is called "Little John." My committee would sternly sup press pictures of nude children, on or off bear rugslt may seem eute at' the time to pose Willie in the altogether, maybe carrying a pall of sand. But it will turn him crimson with embarrassment when I his best girl spots it in the album when he's an impressive 18. And i he'll turn blue with sheer fury when it turns up in a national magazine the year he's planning to run for president. The commit tee would insist that baby pictures depict babies garbed for play or sleep and looking dignified. Baby-talk, of course, would be outlawed. I suppose it really doesn't do much more than make children bored, but it certainly makes idiots of their adorers. Chil dren should grow up admiring their elders, because they will be elders themselves some day. The com mittee would preserve baby-talk for lap-dogs and kittens who don't understand it, either. In the interests of children's wel fare, provisions undoubtedly should be made to protect those adults who can take children or leave them alone. That will prevent the formation of an Anti-Children's Four Young Haywood Citizens Carolyn Covington, 16 months, Robert Lee Underwood III, 2V2 daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.

County Farmer Shows How To Get Most From Limited iand If I ! 1 i -iis ! iftW Intensive use of available crop land and pasture has made dairy ing a profitable enterprise on many small farms in western North Caro lina, says T. K. Jones, farm man agement analyst at State College. According to Jones, the F. L. of approved practices. Since that time, all the cropland and pasture have been treated with both lime and phosphate, with the result that the grazing socson lias been lengthened and the grazing capacity of the pasture Leopard family of Ratcliffe ove j am has more than doubled.

A Wyoming plaque soon will mark the spot where Thomas Edison, on a fishing trip, got the idea for fila ment in the incandescent lamp.

Haywood County, pro vides a good example of what cun be accomplished with limited land resources. Mr. Leopard was operating a dairy with seven cows all that his farm would support when he ameeil in 1936 to begin a demons tration on the value of hwli analy sis phosphate fertilizers in an im proved tanning system. The Ten nessee Valley Authority furnished the fertilizer muterials while the Am iciiltural Extension Service Irvided information on the use dition, alfalfa is grown to provide the bulk of lilt; hay needed. Leopard's herd increased to 16 cows by this winter. Production per cow has doubled, partly as a result of improved quality rough age and partly because of better quality cowj. The animals are now bred artificially and further im provements are expected. The family lias been making home improvements at the same time. A four-room frame house has been replaced with a modern eight-room brick structure, com plete vljh'b bath, refrigerator, and other conveniences. An acre ot longleaf pines planted in 1934 pro- vides a pleasing background for Ithe home. These pines. Incidental ly, were the first ones planted in the county. The Leopards are active mem bers of the Ratcliffe Cove Baptist Church. Two daughters now in high, school are leaders in 4-11 Club activities. Leopard attends farinnieetings regularly and takes an active part in community affairs. Man Who Came To Sleep Stays 60 Years in Home ' BOSTON (UP) When 85-year-old Oliver C.

That is the question asked by John Harris, horticultural special ist at Stale College, in a new bul letin just released by the Exten: sion Service. The new publication was printed in four colors to better picture the necessary improvements to ward home beautificatiorK To illus trate the content of the four-page bulletin, Mr. Harris has included the picture of an old farm place with unpainted buildings and bad ly eroded and unkept yards. With about six or eight changes, as emphasized by the author, the same farmstead.is completely renovated. This is shown in another four color picture. Some of the steps in home beaut ideal ion as listed in the bul letin are; Paint and underpin the dwelling house. Plant a few shrubs around the foundation. Remove junk from the yard. Use as few drives and walks as possible and place them only where they will be used. Grade and smooth yard, haul in topsoil if necessary, and seed to recommended grass.

TH1S YOUR PHARMACY ME WNE AND OPERATED URTI BUG STOSE Committee in this highly organiz ed world. As tilings stand, any adult who isn't fanatically fond of children stands a good chance of being re garded as an inhuman fiend. The Committee on Babies' Rights would insist that fathers with can did cameras and a wallet full of snapshots keep said wallets in their hip pockets except when it is neces sary to extract money therefrom. Only grandparents enjoy exclaim ing over pictures of other people's babies. Mothers of young children would be required to limit their visits to nnn-babv houses to 30 minutes. This will make for better human relations the world over. When two parbnts of young chil dren are in the company of non blessed adults, the conversation should be permitted to touch on non-baby subjects once or twice in the course of the session, and diaper-conversation during bridge epesinns should be limited to the usual post-mortem period between hands. Anyone want to volunteer for Committee service? 4-H Clubs Work To Cut Farm Accident Toll More than l'i million farm res idents took enforced vacations last year due to accidents. In short, one out of every 17 farm people suf fered a disabling accident. Motor vehicle accidents now head the list of causes of fatalities to rural people, 7,300 of whom were killed due to collisions, blowouts and other highway mishaps in 1948. The annual economic toll due to all types of farm accidents is now nearly one billion dollars! In an all-out attempt to reduce these slaggeripg figures, 4-H Club members throughout the nation are already engaged in the 1949 Na tional 4-M Farm Safelv program, reports C!uy L. Noble, director. Na tional Committee on Hoys and Girls Club Work. Daily safety practice is stressed in farm buildings and arils, in use of farm machinery, handling live stock and in driving or walking on highways. Through county exten sion agents anil local 4-11 Club leaders, rural hoys and girls are encouraged to cluck and remove conditions likely to cause accidents and fires, and promote safety prac tices in farm life. They are also taught to cooperate in community safety activities. The entire pro gram is under the direction of the Cooperative Extension ScrvicV. As addeii incentives to produce good safety records. General Mot ors is again donating awards. 1 ive sterling silver inedalp of honor are presented members in each county for best safety achievements. The state winner is given an all-expense trip to Ihe National 4-H Club Con erpss. and also an opportunity to be selected for national honors and j one of the eight $30Q scholarships.
