GRADY I It's a hell of a situation when Duplin County sets a pattern for North Carolina and maybe the nation. Congressman Harold Cooley just advised me that he is on his way to Washington and he would have an investi gation made of the A S C in Duplin County. I am told that Duplin County could possibly destroy the whole tobacco situation in the United States. Why in the hell can't the people of Duplin understand the reason of this program, and why can't they cooperate in a gentle manly manner? After all none of us succeed unless our neighbor succeeds What is the purpose?:v'i-':''- -V- Govern Tobuuo BQli (teens Tuesday V "he Eastern North Carolina To- J )co B" Tuesday..

To gain an additional state-allot-ed teacher, there must be an aver age dally attendance increase of 30 pupils. This means far an addition al teacher in the high school, there must be an average increase in daily attendance of 30. The same is true for the- elementary. Parents 'are urged toee that their children be at, school for the open -in. A short day schedule will be followed in brder that children can return home to help with the work in the afternoon. Parents are also reminded that children beginning school this year must nave a birth certificate isom the Register of Deeds office. 1.23 eastern section of the county. They are also of modern design. When the Supreme Court ruling was handed down the board of edu cation had under consideration plans for completing Its equalization program. These plans include pro vision for the Negro children at Chinquapin, Rose Hill, and Wallace elementary schools and renovation of Negro elementary buildings at Teachey and Magnolia. When this program is finished facilities pro vided the Negro'children of Duplin county will be far superior to that offered white children at this time. The opinion, has been expressed separation" , program should meet with acceptance fa Duplin ' moM readily than in some other school 'districts' because of the existence of modern facilities which the board has been providing at a rapid pace since the war. The future of that program probably rests with the parents of children who are to use the facilities. Majority opinion thus far expressed by them Indicates a desire to see the program com pleted.

Another Hurricane, the fourth tropical storm of the season, how ever, is on its way lowara iNonn Carolina. Most of the damage in this sec tion was to crops in the field. It lias been estimated that the total loss in North Carolina to crops is three million dollars. Agriculture officials continue to advise, however, that this is only an estimate and the possibility ex ists that the" actual loss is higher. More damage was done to tobac co than was first believed. Leaves were broken from the stalk and deposited on the ground.

These com pounds, like sodium fluoride, are effective ascaricides in swine, but it should be remembered that the directions for their use must be strictly followed; otherwise, bad re sults and even death losses can be expected, ' The cadium compounds are ordi narily utilized in the feed for a three day period, then withdrawn and the regular feed placed before swine again.

Functions BLOWN TOBACCO Tobacco in fields when Hurricane Ctnn:e came through was blown considerably. It is said tha pb much as one cropping of tobacco was lost. This picture was taken at Institute during the heighth ot he storm as it was felt in this area. Corn was damaged as well as cotton. (Photo By Paul Barwick.) Connie Does As Shelter possible to save. A large percentage of trbacco was lost because farmers were unable to get into' the fields to crop the "gold en weed" . and has been lost be cause it is now too rioe for curine. In adaitlon-to this,- some itSHor f tobacco were broken and are now beyond saving. There is still a high possibility that some of the cured tobacco in packhouses was damaged and it ha not come to light yet. Agriculture officials advise farmers to make a close check on their stored tobacco to make sure the high winds did not blow rain through the cracks of the packhouses. Corn damage is said to be far worse than is estimated. A lot of ihe corn was blown to the ground. Some of ears were broken from the stalk and cannot be saved. If another storm passes through this section with high winds such as a Hurricane carries, the corn crop will be the hardest hit. 1 Cotton was damaged a little, borne bolls were blown from the bush. However, the damage was not as tensive as it would have been had more of the bolls been opened, or just opening. Careful When They and death after some months.

The direc tions for administering a drug shown on the label should be stud ied carefully and followed exact- iy- There is still present in the mind of some that if a little bit of drug is good, twice as much is better. Nothing could be further from right. when dealing with cadmium and sodium fluoride as well as many oth. erdrugs. . ..
