Although a blue-ribbon jury, impanelled by Wake County Coroner Marshall W. Bennett, aDsoivea prison officials of any blame in the death of the prisoner, yet the treatment that the young girl received from the prison officials is a sad commentary, indeed, upon the Greyt State of North Carolina. We know that the State has to accept the verdict of the coroner's jury. We know also that discipline is necessary in the operation of penal institutions. We fur ther know that the well-thinking people of North Car olina do not approve of the manner in which this girl was treated. Iron claws, restraining cuffs, gags, and similar bar baric instruments of human torture once used in Me dieval Europe are not in keeping with the enlightened Christian conscience of the people of North Carolina who place prisoners in penal institutions as punishment and hot for punishment. One certainly would not condone the . acts of the girl, said to be a "problem prisoner," in hollering and beating on the door to the annoyance of other inmates, but far more would we condemn a prison system that fails to employ prison officials who have at their com mand the necessary "know-how" to deal with a behav- inr nrnhlpm Behavior problems must be studied by prison of- ... i i i ficials who have had special training in numan oenav ior, cultural patterns, and the techniques of rehabilita tion and treatment in the light of modern penology. One of the best ways we know of obtaining such career specialists in the field of pendlegy is divorcing the prison system from the Highway Commission. The inquest findings and the records of all inves tigating agencies should be brought to the attention of the General Assembly as one sad commentary in many that point to the incompetence of the State Highway Commission in the management oi uie pnsun tlo Waiting List To Join Navy Now The Raleigh Navy Recruiting Dis trict has exhausted their waiting list for applicants joining the Navy, it was announced by CPO E.

Vitamin A Prevents Auto Accidents CHICAGO Plenty oi vitamin A is the watchword for safe driving in the fall and winter, months a head, according to the National Dairy Council. If you are even mildly deficient in vitamin A, it could cost you your life! The mild deficiency, itself, would not kill you but the impairment of vision which it can cause could make the difference while driving your car, particularly at dusk, or at night. In 1953, fifty-five percent of all fatal traffic accidents oc curred at night. How does this vitamin A thing work? Vitamin A is particularly vital for your eyes to perform "dark a daptation" the speed with which your eyes adjust when you leave bright light to go into dim light or semi-darkness. Your ability for ths function is put to test every time you pass the headlights of an on-coming car. The speed of your sight reaction to a change from light to darkness is related to vitamin A in your diet. The process of vision is initiated by the vitamin A in your eyes. It is present in the photosensitive pig ments in the light receptors of tne retna. According to a recent issue of Dairy Council Digests, a tech nical publication of the National Dairy Council, research has demon strated that vitamin A actually changes its shape in response to light and darkness making vision possible. Except during sleep, your eyes are constantly adjusting to differ ent degrees of light. The twitch from bright light to dim, however, calls for an excess of vitamin A. Fortunately, state the National Dairy Council, there is enough vi tamin A in our national food sup ply so that no needs to suffer a vi tamin A deficinecy. But its impor tant to choose your food wisely, NDC says, if you are to be in tip top shape. Rich sources of vitamin A are the dairy foods containing butterfat (Miilk, butter cheese, ice cream), egg yolk, liver (especially fish liver oils), and yellow and green leafy vegetables. If your digestion is nor mal, and your diet adequate, there's no other need for vitamin A in fact, nutritionists say overdosing with highly potent concentrates may be injurious. The National Safety Council says: "From October through March, more than one-half the day is dark. And in traffic the hours of twilight, darkness and dawn are the most dangerous. In 1953, fifty-five per cent of all fatal traffic accidents occurred at night." New Treatment For Small Grain Now is the time to treat your small grain seed, and a new chem ical, Panogen, is recommended this vear for the first time in North Carolina. Panogen gave complete control of oat smut and barley stripe in tests by T. T. Herbert of the North Car olina Experiment Station. Two oth er chemicals now recommended al so gave complete control. Both diseases cause some leas each year, with an occasional field show ing about 25 percent loss. In tests, the untreated check plot had one oat plant and four barley plants infected per foot of row. This will give farmers some idea of damage they might expect. The important point is that infected plants produce no grain at all, according to Hebert. Hebert says you can get Panogen in liquid form and can apply it with ordinary slurry treaters or with special treaters designed for use with the chemical. The recom mended rate is three-quarters ounce per bushel. Seed treatment has another ad vantageit protects the seed dur ing germination against soil-borne disease organisms and in this way, helps give a better stand. , pP HkAMSrif IH Sowtt PAWS Wr ecwisftwA. tfic&a.

Top political opinion in both parties indicate such a possible split In Congress next year. The private opinion of Democratic party leaden ia that the Demo crats will win control of the House. They admit there U considerable aouDi aoout gaining control of the Senate. Oa the other hand, the Republicans apeak con fidently of increasing their present majority in the Senate but admit they are confronted with rough going in keeping control of the House. At the present time, the Senate lineup is 48 Re publicans, 47 Democrats and one independent The House shows 219 Republicans, 215 Democrats and one independent. NEXT TARGET Thailand is believed to be the next target of the Communists in Asia, The Chinese Reds already have begun the task of "softeniner ud" the Thais for what The Capitol Their instrument is Pridi Phanaomyong, former! Thailand premier. Pridi was known for years to be a Socialist, but never suspected of being a Communist. However, he suddenly turned up in China' echoing Communist propaganda. x After the Geneva conference, which turned Indochina over to the Communists, he broadcast over the Peiping radio calling upon the people of Thailand to "befriend" China and the other Communist states. Pridi is regarded now as the counterpart of Ho Chi Minh, the leader of the Indochinese Reds. WATER FEARS Some lawmakers believe this country may run out of water before it does coal, oil or gasoline. In view of their fears, a House subcommittee has been appointed to atudy the water resource of the nation. A cabinet-level group, the Hoover commission and other top- men in the country are being brought under on umbrella to study, this serious question also. The primary objective according to Rous Interior Chairman A. L. MUIer-(R), Nebraska, is for the subcommittee to com up with legis lation that will help conserve the water supply. Miller said: The cold facts are w may well run out of water before w do coal, oil c gasoline. Many communities live and grow or wither and die depending on their water supply. W should be wis custodians of our natural wealth." PANAMA NEGOTIATIONS After almost a year of constant negotiations the United States Is about ready to make con cession designed to civ Panama bigger, share in the Canal Zone (roots. Panamanians long have complained that they were not getting a fair aharein their partnership with the United States. -They are bitter over the picayune (430,000 a year tetter D I which they receive from' the United States in an j auiUes. ' Actually, they maintain, they receive nothing from 'Ovt of Zen -the United States for the use of the Canal Zone. The t i annuities are collected for the railroad which runs across th isthmus.' They also resent the fact that Panamas tans are discriminated against In th United Statu employment practical and over the numerous business terprises run by th "United States fXrrrnznnt which deprive Pinjnanjni of peatiw sources of teowne. - Proper Diet Key to Better Health Eating Jth right kinds of food usually means tne difference be tween being Just all right and development to the highest level. So said Dr. Paul Wermer, Secretary of the Committee on -Research, of the American Medi cal Association, recently in an address before the semiannual post-graduate seminar of the Alabama Academy of General Practice, in Birmingham. Wermer explained that while some individuals may seem to be of normal size and as active and alert as could be expected, they often are functioning at levels far below those possible with an ideal or complete diet. However, progress is being made in this field, Wermer con tinued. Measurements of men taken into the armed services and of young people entering colleges show that over a period of years, the average American man and woman nat become taller and more alert. Pointing out that the life span in America is increasing stead ily, Wermer said: "Evidence from studies -Indicate that there are two major factors in determining the length of . life nutrition and heredity. While we cannot select our an cestors, we can use our intelli gence in selecting our foods. "Credit for longer life Is shared with other factors such as' the development of anti biotics, better medical and child care, and better sanitation stand ards, but nutrition is of major Importance." , Dr. Wermer suggested that doctors recommend that their patients eat a well-balanced diet from all basic feed groups each day. He paid special tribute to the dairy and the baking Indus , tries for the addition of vitamins and minerals to their products, "The addition of vitamin D to milk insures an adequate mini mum intake of this vitamin so important to growing children," Wermer said, "based upon the drinking of about a quart a day. "The rpW jrfii- In re operation with public health officials and the medical profes sion, in 1941 instituted a nation wide enrichment program t supply needed ,B vitamins and iron to the national diet. As th overwhelming preference is for white breed, this food plus flour was chosen as the means of pro viding all the people with these Important items. "Bakers now are enriching bread throughout the nation. Enrichment is required by law in 26 states and bakers in the other 22 states voluntarily enrich their white bread and other bak ery products. . "Today, enriched white bread may indeed be called the staff of life because of its significant contributions to the carbohy drate, vitamin, mineral ana protein content of the national diet Not only Is protein pro vided by the wheat but also from th non fat dry milk solids bakers nut into bread.
