License Plan For Nurses In N.C. Begins Jan. 1st Raleigh The health of North Carolina will be further safe guarded in the coming year by a special screening for licensure of j all persons working in this State as professional nurses or as prac tical nurses.

Lebanon's Cedars Well Protected By Religion, Law On a shelf-like plateau. 600 feet above the Mediterranean, the world's oldest Christmas trees stand where they have stood for centuries. The cedars of Lebanon. 400 of them, are protected by reli gion and law from harm at the hands of either the Moslems or the Maronite Christians. The magnificent trees "that sing of the nativity" were venerated as monarchs among trees long before Judah had her first king. Some of them have a girth of 40 feet and a branch circumference of 300. In. the days of thp conquerors thousands of conscripted Hebrew workers were sent into the Leban ons to take to Jerusalem "cedar trees without number"; the result 1 of one of the first building con tracts. between Hiram of F'hoene-1 cia and King Solomon. Today, however, the trees are protected by law and the depart ment of agriculture of the govern-' ment sponsors the planting of seed lings, so that the giant cedars will i grow forever. Most animals which can hear can also produce sounds, although there are some exceptions to the rule. | Under a normal pension plan, a fund which would provide $100 a month at age 65 would provide only $70 a month at age 60 but would give $148 at age 70.
