Ground Hog Casts Shadow’ On Spring ’ Six more weeks of bad weather were predicted here Saturday when the ground hog came out of his winter hole at ’ 12 o’clock, nodfi and Mw his shadow. He immediately went back in his hole where he will stay for six more weeks while winter weather continues. In spite of the fact that the weatherman stated Saturday to be partly cloudy, the sun rose at 7:16 A. M. and sunset was at 5:42 P. M. and not a cloud appeared in the sky dur ing the day. In most parts of the United States, February 2 is known as Ground Hog Day, because of the old superstition that if on this day at 12 o’clock noon the ground hog ^>r woodchuck comes out of- his - winter hole -- and sees his shadow, he will go back for six,more weeks of sleep while ^inter weather continues. If, however, the ground hog sees no sunshine when he comes out at noon—which was not the case Saturday—he knows that spring is just a round the corner and he stretches himself for a real a wakening. Old folks in certain sections of the country say that the direction of the wind on Ground Hog Day determines the prevailing wind for the next two months. For not more than 48 hours at a time, they declare, will the wind change from what it wks on February 2. | Look out for bad weather, say others wise in weather matters, if on February 2 the prevailing wind is north or northeast. » i _ , Health Ujjicer, Urges Mass X-Ray Program In County SINGING CONVENTION HELD Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Thomp son of West Hillsboro held a sing ingcc^fentL n at their home Fri day night.

Carrboro 10:45 am. Announcement was made this week by Dr. O, David Garvin, dis trict health officer, regarding a mass X-ray program for Orange County. The district I'&tJth department has been fortunate - to secure a 35-millimeter X-ray machine^ The machine has been loaned to the Tuberculosis Control Division of the State Board of Health by the United States Public Health Serv ice and is now in use in Person County. Dr. Garvin urges that everyone in Orange County take advantage of this service being of fered through the local and state departments of health in cooper ation with the local, tuberculosis committees. * The X-ray will be set. up In West Hillsboro, Hillsboro and Chapel Hill in* Orange County dur ing February and March and the dates and places for the service will be announced in the news papers. Dr. P. P. McCain of the state sanitorium says: “JRegardless of how well he feels, everybody should have an X-ray of his chest. On X-raying -the chest of millions' of apparently healthy young men for the Army and Navy the in duction boards found* that one out of every hundred had tuberculosis and that one out of every two hundred had active tuberculosis and needed sanatorium treatment. It is an easy matter for one to be cured of early tuberculosis, but if the disease becomes advanced it is a long drawn out procedure and complete recovery is rarely possible. If patients wait until they have symptoms or feel sick to be X-rayed, the great majority have advanced disease. When large groups of apparently healthy peo ple have their chests X-rayed the vast majority of those who are found to have tuberculosis have the disease in the early stages. Even though one has every reason to believe that his X-ray will be negative it is well for him to have an X-ray for a permanent record and for future comparison. It has been found by careful surveys that for every death from tuber culosis in a given community there are some eight to ten .active cases of the disease. There ; are, therefore, in North Carolina at least ten thousand persons with active tuberculosis. Quite a large number of these are undiscovered and a great many of those affected do not even suspect that they have the disease. Often these undiscov ered persons with tuberculosis, who are taking no precautions to protect others, are a source of great danger to the public.” Dr. McCain points out that “the X-ray* now makes it possible for every case of tuberculosis to be discovered in the early and curable stage and usually before there is any danger of contagion. 1^ every one in the United States would have an X-ray of his dr her chest every year, or even every two or three years, tuberculosis could soon be eradicated. Kiwanis Club Hears T Secretary Oa Honsing Shortage Chapel. Hill.—Harry F. Comer, Y.M.C.A. secretary, was guest speaker at the Tuesday night meet ing of the Kiwanis club. Mr. Comer reviewed the local housing situa tion and discussed prospects for improvement of the acute hous ing shortage. “Building projects are being de layed for lack of materials,” he said, “but we are keeping the pres sure on Washington.” The speaker outlined several private construc tion projects and the University’s dormitory expansion program. The 150 housing units recently allo cated to the University by the government are expected to par tially alleviate the shortage, he said. $100 Bond Is * Prize Offered Local Farmers In an effort to stimulate inter est and increase production in Or ange County, the Bank of Chapel Hill is offering a prize to the Or ange County farmer who can pro duce the most corn on an acre of ground, Other prizes will also be available to those entering the contest. There are practically no rules to the contest. Any farmer, white or colored, is eligible to en ter. He can prepare his seed bed in the manner which he thinks will produce the best results, use any kind of corn, as much fertilizer as he wishes, and plant as thick as he desires. Similar contests have been car ried on in Person, Granville,, and Franklin counties during the last three years. Results from these contests indicate that the yields of com can be doubled and trebled in many instances by adopting bet ter growing and fertilization prac tices. Those interested in entering the contest should see the county agents or one of the following members who have beenaopoint ed as a committee in charge of the contest: G. O. Reitzel, H. S.
