SUPPLY PASTOR'S SCHOOL Durham - Some 82 supply pas tors from nine states arrived at Duke University, Tuesday, June IT for the fifth annual approved Sup ply Pator’s school. \ The Rev. James R. .Hailey of Efland is one of the sUpply pastors here for the 17-day session in th$ Duke Divinity School. if You're Troubled By Summer i. . • • * # Laziness, Better Read This . Do you worry , about feeling la zy in the summertime? If so, don’t let your conscience bother you. More leisurely activity, both at work and at play, means not only less physical discomfort, but mak es you far less vulnerable to ac cidents and injuries.. According to studies of hot wea ther-accidents by the • Institute for Safer Living, over-exertion often plays an important part in drown ing, sunstroke, heat exhaustion and many accidental injuries around' the home or while on "va cation. ” I Heavy physical activity in the hot sun can be really dangerous unless you are conditioned for it by an outdoor occupation. Those who work or play outdoors only occasionally should approach these pursuits with a certain degree of laziness. Gardening and lawn work are among the most common activi ties leading to over-exertion, which in’turn, may lead to sun stroke or perhaps an injury caus ed by thoughtless use of a garden tool. Take such work in small dos es on hot sunny days and prefer ably save your heaviest work for cloudy days, or cool evenings. Al ways wear a head covering when gardening or when doing lawn work in the sun. Adults especially, have little business indulging .m»such strenu-, ous sportff as baseball or tennis when the mercury ^Mt-Sparing, un less, of course, they tare profes sionals. Wise’ golfers will take, short breathers after completing each hole. Children and teen-ag ers should' be encouraged not io over-indulge in the more active sports and games. A factor causing many swim ming accidents is staying in the water too long when you are un accustomed to it. This leads to ex haustion. Many fail to reach shore. Rest frequently, especially when swimming in deep water. Danger always lurks in the woods for tired hikers. Fatigue induces thoughtless actions which may . produce such mishaps as sprained , ankles, contacts with poison ivy, encounter with a poi sonous-snake, a bad fall, beat ex-" haustion, or even getting lost. Plan your hike so you will reach a good stopping place before you are worn out. Fatigue while driving on long auto trips, accounts for many fa tal highway accidents, so here’s another occasion where taking it easy pays dividends in family saf ety. Frequent coffee or rest stops are a must for vacationing auto travelers. However, being relaxed behind the wheel does not mean that you shouldn’t stay alert at all times. These are only a few of numer ous activities where being a bit on the lazy side may save your life, after the thermometer hits 80 or 90. So don’t hurry. Chances* are you’ll accomplish quite as much by mixing rest with elbow grease. „ v ^ . . * \ _ , • t» • AT?' • . traffic accident spot in the entl5^ -pedestrain picture," »”* °d MOO. » fatalities u. the reduction of 45 P* ig37 pur W> *** -5U'o, time *» tot th« laUlitiea not involv <— a »* fe -» *' "tSnHs tb, city «“ ?££^ede.tr.i» ss l~t~£ -'t. greater ''“^JT.ctwW" ‘ pedertrain pro^^u adults Further Odom ^ ^ fol should learn practice in lowing themselves and order to P*°teJ_ , example* so they may be *ooa ^ lot childre°- _here they crow * N°- Mehway Vt they stop a street of bl* 0f the road a* the curb or edg and look ho«»»«* „tt side 2.

P. Barnes not to use toxaphene on tobacco. ‘ “This insecticide is not outlaw ed in North Carolina since we need it a* a boll weevil poison,* Minted out Barnes. “Several of Tobacco producing states have outlawed toxaphene completely, but so far North Carolina has only restricted its use in regard to to bacco.” * Toxaphene is a by-product of the turpentine industry and has a resin base, said the agent. The very nature of this insecticide would give a disagreeable taste to the plant, he added. “Results of recent experiments in cooperation with two tobacco companies indicate that an appli cation of toxaphene on tobacco gives it a distinct taste and an un pleasant aroma to cigarettes man ufactured from toxaphene-treated tobacco.” declared Barnes. “Heat ing or smoking tobacco with toxa phene1 residue brings out the odor which otherwise may not be no ticed. “Buyers in the past have not avoided the purchase of tobacco treated with " toxaphene, but if toxaphene continues to destroy a portion of each crop the buyers will find a way to detect the in secticide^ on the tobacco on the warehouse floor with the result that the price will be lowered. -“We grow mainly a cigarette type tobacco, and growers are in terested in selling it for the top dollar. On the basis of present in formation it seems very risky to use toxaphene on tobacco. “Hornworms can be controlled with T.D.E. dust or spray. Ten per cent dust applied properly will control worms, or SO per cent wettable powder applied as a spray does an effective Job. Heavy residues of any insecticide on cured tobacco are undesirable, so treat early and avoid heavy appli cations just before priming." ART MODELS NEEDED A dollar an hour is being offer ed models to pose for University art classes. Those interested should contact Miss Warren by phoning 2801, Person Hall, Chapel Hill.

Rural Electrification, Roads Progress Cited By A. H. Graham “North Carolina can be duly proud of the tremendous progress in rural electrification and trans portation which it has made dur ing the past few years”, A. U. (Sandy) Graham, Chairman of the State Highway and Public Works Commission, told some fifteen hundred' members attending the Electric Membership Corporation 14th annual meeting of Piedmont in Hillsboro Saturday. “In both these ai*eas of de velopment, North Carolina, stands second to no state when the, re cords are compared”, he said. He then pointed, out that in the space of less than seventeen years the state’s farm areas have become ever 90 percent electrified, though„ less than 10,000 rural homes had electricity in 1930. “You, the consumer-member of Piedmont Electric, are to be con gratulated”, he said. “You, toget her with over 160,000 other farm families in North Carolina, have done a splendid job in securing electric service through coopera tion and in paying for your elect ric enterprises from your own pockets.” The state’s 32 electric coopera tives are repaying, with interest, their loans from REA, he stated, adding that over $8,000,000 in principal and over $4,000,000 in interest have- been returned to the, federal, government thus far. ’ He then declared that the State has kept pace with this record ir terms of road building. With its presently operated 67,410 miles of roads, highways and paved streets, North Carolina supervises the biggest transportation system of any governing body in' the world, he said. Graham then cited the 13,0001 miles of secondary roads built in the past four years as a, tremend ous boost to agricultural progress in this state. "No other state has ever built so,many./niles of paved road ip so short a time”, he'said. Moreover,. only five states in the nation have more miles of paved roadways. Graham gave the main address of the meeting which was held in Hillsboro High School auditorium. During the business session of the meeting reports of the officers and manager were heard and di rectors for the coming year were Elected. ~ Last year the cooperative ex tended service to some 300 new members, and added 45 miles of line to its distribution system.

K, McAdams secretary of the local Production and Marketing Administration, advises county farmers not to sell their wheat at present low prices. ' Explaning that wheat is now selling between $1.70 and $1.80 a bushel, McAdams said that the present government support price is $2.40 a' bushel for number one wheat. - To; receive support prices far mers may deliver their wheat to a government approved storage warehouse, Such warehouses are located at Mt.' Ulla, Norwood, Albermarle and Wadesboro, Mc Adams said" McAdams said farmers could also received government suport prices if they have "satisfactory storage facilities” on their own farm. Farmers desiring to store their own wheat may get further details from the PM A office. “Lack of storage space has been keeping the price of wheat down,” McAdams said. “Farmers have been rushing it on the market too fast.” _;; J ;_ He explained that the price of wheat Usually drops during the peak of the harvest season. Farm ers, as a rule do not have adequate storage facilities, and neither do millers. ,« McAdams said that farmers could erect a 1000-bushel steel bin for arouncF $400. This can bo used, he said, either for the Stor age of wheat, or other grain crops. The government will now lend money, 80 percent of the costs, for purchase of a. storage bin. This money can be paid back over a four-year period along with inte rest, .
