Hoblnson, Presi- : dent o the. Duplin County Medical Society. ; - , Despite whatr some jolks 'may think, j; medical bills haven't gone tup as far, or as fast, as the cost of bread, milk,' fuel and ; other family necessities. Actually," the booklet points out; your doctor is getting a decreasing share of your medical dollar. While most family expenses have- been shooting up sharply, "physicians' fees have ris en only modewtely, and: the pam phlet shows graphically that cost -of illness has not risen as much or as rapidly as other consumer goods. The booklet stresses the various aspects of patients' medical bills and the cost of Illness In' relation to the national Income. The med ical dollar Is divided Into three items, your doctor bills, your hos pital bills, and your drug bills.. The fact that supportive medical care in general has gone up, is pointed out in 'Your Money's Worth In Health,' but medical care includes imiv fangs' besij S your doctor's ' se vices; -. many '.things Which are more readily affected by increased costs, such as laundry, drugs, -food, items and- equipment for the hospital. , "" - i ' f Ask your local physician' for. a copy of this Illustrated eight-page pamphlet.

Southerland 9-18 5TG.M. - Administrators r Coal burning plants as efficient. as this new1 one are cheaper ana more dependable than hydroelec tric p'ants, asserted Louis V- Sut ton, president of the company. His company has not added a hydra plant slnse 1830," but it has in stalled five steam generating units since 1948. -av ':' '" He told a luncheon audience that the Lumberton plant would pro duce more electricity In the unit we opened today than a hydro plant can produce with the energy of 25,000 gallons of water falling a distance of One foot. ' ' The mvth that hydro power Is cheaper than steam power springs from the old days wnen economical hydro sites stui were avaiiaoie ana when fuel-burning methods of gen erating electricity, were much less efficient than now. Today the most aesranie nyaro Ites have been taken, and the eff eciency of steam generation has improvd about four-fold.' Sutton termed the multi-million dollar plant 'a wise Investment in the future of Eastern North Caro lina' and predicted greater indus trial growth for tne area, 'jsasrern North Carolina at last is getting its share of the state's new indus try-he said.;- Scores of viators in smaii groups were conducted through .the plant by guides who explained the sew equipment . Tne piani is iochhi iuuua w ummu hank of the Lumber River, throe miles southeast of Lumber- ton.

These facilities are encircled by a railroad track on which train loads of coal are delivered daily. stored in the open. Operating at full load, the plant burns 3,000.000 pounds of coal a day, or enough to heat the average home for 160 years. Its two smoke stacks are 200 feet high, and Its boilers are as tU lottery build ings. The condensers wnicn re duce steam back to water require 200,000,000 gallons of water per day for ; cooling purposes alone. This is pumped from, the nearby Lumber River and is returned to the river slightly warmer; other wise unaffected by the plant. Of outdoor design, the plant re quires no conventional ' housing against the weather. .Boilers and other elements are waterproffed and are exposed. The big plant is a maze of structural steelstair ways and catwalks, miles o asbestos-covered pipe- huge valves and other devices. ' . ; Control of the vast and complex equipment is centered-in a single air-conditioned control room where gauges and meters indicate to the operators the condition of every element ol the plant. , ' Maximum efficiency is achieved by .the extreme Heat and pressure to which the steam is raised. Coal is pulverized until It is as fine as face powder before it is blown Into the vast boflers, where it burns almost instantaneously at 2, 700 degrees. 'The resultant steam reaches 1,550 pounds pressure per square inch and 1,000 degrees Fa hrenheit. This is blasted against thousands of tiny fan - shaped blades of turbines, which turn the generators at precisely a.ouu revo lutions per minute. They generate electricity at - 13,800 volts, and transformers raise this to 110,000 volts for transmission into the sys tem, - ' 1 The Jjumbeiftoa addition is pan of the company's $150,000,000 post war expansion program. Next big item on the list will be a 135,000 horsepower steam generator for the Wilmington area. Land already has been purchased, and the plans are la the blueprint stage. County Agent Tells Of Tractor Danger Tractors, are involved in over half of the farm machinery acci dents, according to Vernon Rey nolds. The principal icauses in volve falling from, or being thrown off the tactor, overturning, un guarded power take-off shafts and violation of traffic rules when op erating on the highway. 4 . The National " . Safety' Council points out that safe operation of the a million tractors now usea on farm could save hundreds of lives and thousands of serious in juries annually. You cannot afford to gamble the loss -of a limb or life by operating without the power take off shield in p'ace. Carelessness in handling tractors around ditches can start a trip to the hospital. Jumping off a tractor or making adjustments while in motion is another way to invite an accident. You can easily lose a child by permitting children to operate or mica a riae on irac tors. Never refuel a tractor while the motor -Is running or extremely hot. Avoid leaky fuel lines and accu mutations of combustible mater ials near hot manifolds or exhausts. Store tractor fuel safely and always have a fire extinguisher available for an accidental fire. When operating on the highway, always obey traffic rules and avoid excessive speeds. Stop before en tering main highways and use a red flag high up on the tractor to warn 'motorists of slow moving equipment. Use headlights and taillights after dark- QUESTION: What's an easy way to get a pretty evergreen laWn? ANSWER: There isn't any easy way, according to John H. Harris, landscape extension specialist for N. C. State College, but Hime, fer- uiizauuij -ana. mowing wm go a long, way toward making a pretty carpet: of grass. Harris suggests Bermuda grass, which is stiff stuff except in the lawn, for sunny areas In the Pied mont and Coastal Plain areas with Italian rye grass in the winter; centipede grass can be substituted for the Bermuda in lower Pied mont and Coastal Plain. Centipede, ' Harris says, Is not quite the pest that Bermuda grass is, and it grows better in the shade and requires less mowing. It should be started in the spring.' Zoysia matreUa and Zoysia 52 are expensive to start (they are started from roots only in the spring or fall) but they make beau tiful summer lawns and tolerate reasonable shade. Harris recom mends St Augustine grass, start ed from roots in the spring in shad ed Southeast areas. In the mountains and shaded areas of the Piedmont, bluegrass or a mixture of bluegrass and clover are a Harris choice. Tall fescue (alta or Kentucky 31) makes satisfactory laWns if cut two to three inches high. They should be seeded in September or October. , One warning Harris gives: Keep oooboooooooo For Sale SASH, DOORS, SHEET ROCK WOOL, TLAST ER, LIME, CEMENT, BRICK.
