Boy Scouts aad Their Parents Entertained Hie Walstonburg Community Men's Club, sponsors of the local Boy Scout .Troup of Walstonburg community, entertained the Boy Scouts and their parents with a delicipus barbecue supper ably prepared by the Walstonburgr "Woman's Club. This was a part of the local celebration of National Boy Scout Week. About sixty Boy Scouts, parents and club members were present. Mr. Douglas L. Kelly, Field Executive of the East Carolina Council, with headquarters in Wilson, was guest of honor. The local Troup has almost twenty members under the leadership of Sam Chandler, Scout Master. Claud Joyner and Clifton Barfield are assistant Scout Masters. Members of the Troup Committee are; Carl T. Hicks, Chairman, Rev. Key Taylor, W. E. Lang, Jr, Watson Owens and J. W. Webster, school principal. Although the troup has been organised only a short time much progress has been made. The leaders feel sure that .the Walstonburg community of the future will be a much better place to live in because of the splendid character-building and training given every Boy Scout. *In a recent attendance contest, nine boys won aa over-night camping trip to Camp Charles, near Bailey, as a reward for perfect attendance at each meeting. The official presentation of the Charter to the Scout Troup and the address on "The Principles of Boy Scouting" by Douglas L. Kelly, Field Executive, climaxed the events of the evening. He stressed the need of a well qualified leader to make any troup a success. Parents were urged to encourage their boys to learn more about Scouting aad to help keep them enthusiastic about the work. On June 16, 1916, the Congress of the United States officially chartered the Boy Scouts of America. Only two other orianizations have shared this honor. Hitler took the young boys of Germany, trained aad molded them into one of the most efficient fighting machines the world has ever known. The average age of his aviators is only nineteen and a half years. That of his army only twenty-two. This is a stricking example of the youth of a nation led in the wrong direction. Mr. Kelipy emphatically stated that on the shoulders of Scoot leaders rests the responsibility of training and molding our boys into a mighty force for the good and the uplift of the world to offset the forces of evil created by Hitler. A thousand prison MAD DOG - THIS MAY HAPPEN HERE! Local police have earned on an intensive campaign of "Warning to Dog Owners" here for the past several weeks in an earnest effort to prevent a mart dog rampage* this spring and summer. ~Dog owners have been advised of the grave danger to children and «dults as well, as the remit of letting their dogs run out and have bean cited to town ordinance in this regard. JV , Chief Lucas stated today that a rigid enforcement of the law is-necessary to prevent a similar scene to that above from occurring an the streets of Farmville, and requests that citisens cooperate with the department in confining dogs as a precautionary measure. Section in. DOG OR BITCH RUNNING AT LARGE PROHIBITED: It shall be unlawful for person owning a dog or bitch to suffer or permit said dog or bitch to run at loxge within the corporate limits of the town of Farmville. Any person violating this ordinance shall, be fined ten (*10.00) dollars STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: WiU the spray traatment successfully "care" blue mold after the disease has infected tobacco plaint beds? ANSWER: The copper oxide cottionseed oil spray method af controlling blue mold in tobacco plant beds is a preventive measure, and is not very effective where plants are already diseased, according: to Howard Garrisa, Extension plant pathologist of N. C. State College. The paradichlorobensene (P. D. B.) fumigation treatment is effective as either a preventative or as a "core." These are the only two methods of controlling blue mold that are recommended by State College agencies. QUESTION: Is composition roll roofing satisfactory for coveting poultry house roofs? ANSWER: C. F. Parrjsh, Extension poultryman of State College, says some North Carolina poultrymen have found composition roll roofing very satisfactory, if dressed tongue and grooved roofers are used. He 'says that a coat of roofing tar should be applied to the sheating before laying the roll roofing. The lap is cemented with the roofing tar, and nails are not needed except at the ends and on top and bottom edges. QUESTION: What is the wartime supply situation, with regard to sodium nitrate used in fertilisers? ANSWER: Fertiliser manufacturers, as well as other users of sodium nitrate, are now receiving supplies of the fertilizer under a complete allocations system which went into effect on February J., according to G. Tom Scott of State CoUege, chairman of the State USD A War Board. In addition to being used as a fertilizer, sodium nitrate is also used for the manufacture of explosives, nitric acid, potassium nitrate and glass, and in the curing and preserving of meats. A shortage of shipping space has resulted in the rationing of this material, which is imported largely from South America. I !" - Leaf Growers Face ■ Shortage Of Canvas Faced, with a general shortage of plant bed canvas, tobacco farmer* are being urged to use every method possible for the more efficient production of plants. Realizing the seriousness of the present plight of leaf growers, a committee at N. C. State College specialists has formulated a list of practices which will help to some extent In relieving the emergency. First, the group recommended that the plant bed be located under the most favorable conditions availaple. A southeastern exposure in a welldrained soil is preferable, as is the selection of a site as free of weeds and stumps as possible. The use of one pound of a 6-9-3 to 1% to 2 pounds at a 4-9-3 fertilizer .per square yard of plant bed is recom A WEEK OF THE ' wlwf WAR ;> (CiiIIbBII from page one) utilise full cargo capacity of American merchant vessels because war developments often make it necessary for the ships to sail without advance notice. The Maritime Commission said through cooperative action with American ship operators, imports of 10 important raw materials increased about 200 percent during 1941. The Commission maintained its ship-aday construction schedule by launching 14 new vessels during the last half at January. Eight French merchant ships in U. S. ports were requisitioned by the Commission. Predacttai And Conversion The WPB announced it cleared contracts amounting to $3 billion in the week ending January 21. The War Department announced production, of .30 caliber ball ammunition was nearly doubled during the first three weeks of January, 1942, over the corresponding period last year. The War Department Production Director Knudsen announced that the Chrysler Corporation will construct a $1,00,000,000 plant in Chicago to turn out Wright twelve-cylinder air-cooled en* trine*. The War Production Chairman Nelson announced adoption of a system of daily progress reports to check production delays "anywhere along the line." He merged priorities and subcontracting field offices in a new Bureau of Field Operations to provide "faster, more efficient service to business and industary." The WPB asked the typewriter manufacturing industry which produced 1,000,000 machines in 1941 to cut its normal production 25 percent immediately and convert its facilities to war production. J Central Information Service. President Roosevelt directed the United States Information Service to expand its facilities "so that visitors shall have one central place to which they can go for direction and information." The President said because many businessmen and other citizens "are coming to Washington in increasing numbers seeking information and the assistance of their -Government ... it has beoome more and more difficult for those coming . . . on specific business to locate the Government official who can give authoritative answers to their questions ... It is now necessary that thave .be an integration of the various offices having direct contact with the public, and that their activitie* be coordinated under the direction oi a central office." V; Civilian Defense. The Senate pawed and Bent to the House a bill to create a 11,000,000,000 fond to compensate American property owners for war damages. The fund would eompenaate for losses other than life or personal injury to the extent of |16,000. CCD Executive Landia announced cities in target areas will not be required to submit requisitions for protective equipment including gas masks and auxiliary fire-figbting equipment to be provided by $100 million of Federal funds. He said the equipment would be allocated to the various areas according. to tfeir likelihood of attack, vulnerability and present equipment Attorney General Biddle established a special War frauds Unit within the Department of Justice to praeecute all cases involving frauds in connection with the war effort. \ 1 ; ENDS LIFE RATH EH THAN GO TO WAE Penns Grove, N.
