To thm People jtJ ALIa fj» m mmm a ■ If ■ > or Tnis \*ornmunny Even if the war aided this very moment you still would be doing the best thins for yourself and your family Dy investing the biggest amount in War Bonds to day you have ever aaved for future spending. From a strictly self Interest view point you can not afford to fritter away war wages in a market of scarce goods. New autos, new homes, new appliances, new radios, will not be coining off production lines instantly the last shot is fired by one of your tired rela tives or friends. War Bonds will make wonderful peace-time am munition when they mature for every $3 you store away now. P. S. Just to bring you out of that postwar dream, take an other look at the headlines. There's still a war on. You and your money are needed to beat the Japs. The bonds you buy to day are WAR bonds. There'll be time 10 years hence for you to think of them as PEACE BONDS. THE EDITOR Why serve good food in dim can dlelight? There's a way out of every dilem ma—fortunately. Our dreams never did come true and so we quit dreaming. You need a priority or a reserva tion for everyUiing, even a haircut. It is unfair to men that women don't get bald and don't have to shave. - • • * How does a man who holds down half a dozen big government jobs find time to write a book? If the guests aren't important, the 1 hostess wears last year's gown and foregoes the special hair-do. Some men are as frightened in the presence of a wit as some women are in the presence of a mouse. The leas a man reads the more eager he is to recommend without reservation what he does read. Women hate to be told this, but they're at their best when angling for a man and minding their chil dren. It requires infinite tact and skill to extract from a man without pain the price of a fur coat, but it has been done—and often. Let's Not Ration Recreation in '45 ————— A few hours alone with one's fam ily away from the chores and respon sibilities of the home and the farm, job of tomorrow and a greater ap preciation of life in the country, says L. R. Harrill, vtate 4-H club leader for the State College Extension Ser vice. "For the home group let's .plan a family picnic," he explains. " Select a good location and enjoy a^meal out in the open with the songbirds to furnish the music and the great Mo ther Nature to furnish the picture— 'Sunset'—-probably the greatest of them all. The plana for suoh a pic nic or meal need not be elaborate. "Good, wholesome food that can be prepared and served outdoors is the important thing, and there are many diahes that become more ap petising when prepared and served in the open. Die actual preparation and cooking of the meal will be as modi fun and recreation as any other part at the evening and should be participated in by qyery member of tbe family. Hard boiled eggs, when cooked over an open fire, be come a delicacy as does bacon broiled over the open coals; and for dessert —who ever heavd at a better one than homemade ice cream. But, dent let the meal scare you or work a hard Orthopedic Clinic Greenville, June 1 We wtah to- remind oar readfcrs of the State Orthopedic Clinic to be held in Greenville, today, Friday, Jane 1, from Ii:80 to 4 ft m. S This Clinic takes all type* of crip plea, both white and colored, free of charge who are unable to afford private treatments. It if desired, though not required, that patients be referred by a physician or the Wel fare Officer, and that the patient bring such note to the Clinic. The Clinic is set up to serve espec ially the Counties of Beaufort, Car teret, Pamlico, Pitt and Tyrell, though patients from other counties who de sire to come may do so. The Clinic is conducted by Dr. Hugh A. Thompson, orthopedist, Raleigh This Clinic has been running for something over five years and is now saving a large number of cripples, adults as well as children, in this area. The Pitt County Health Depart ment Offices are located at the cor ner of Ihind and Greene Streets in Greenville. Three Months Extra Grazing By New Plan Extending the grazing season from the usual five or six months to .at least eight or nine months results in much lower costs for milk and beef, says A. C. Kimrey, Extension dairy man at State College. Labor require ments for feed production are also reduced. "This is not just a paper plan hatched up by some man in an office but it is the result of repeated tests that have been modified by dairymen and beef cattle growers in all parts of the state to fit their conditions," he adds. "Many farmers have sup* plemented their permanent pastures with leapedexa seeded during Febru ary and March on small grain but we can still further expand our grazing program. "We put our stock on the permanent pastures entirely too early in the spring and then too our pastures need some help during the dry periods of summer and alao in the fall. How are our best dairymen and beef cattle producers getting nine months grazing instead' of six? While they all vary the plan some what, the general schedule runs about as follows. "In the summer they turn to graz ing prong of luwlwtiK SuH»n orrans and lespedeza. Then they get ready for an early fall' and winter tem porary grazing crop. It should be seeded by September 1 and this date is very important They seed about 3 times as many bushels of small grains per acre as for grain with rye grass and crimson clover. They have found that heavy seeding and good fertilization pays. No wheat is used because of the Hessian fly threat Some topdress with nitrogen be cause their goal is grazing by October 15 to relieve the strain on the per manent pasture. , "Many have paid the entire ex penses of the crop in the fall grazing season. Some get grazing in Decem ber, January, and February but by March l they are in clover. It's a good plan. Give a triaL" ETO Map Unit Arrives In POA To Carry On Work Press censors have recently lifted one corner of the security cloak shrouding what apparently is the first complete unit of troops to be re deployed from ETO to £OA. The unit—an engineer topographic battalion—now under the command ol Lt Col. Charles M Duke, Jackson ville, Tex., didn't arrive in this thea ter until January, 1946, yet helped map the Ryukyus invasion for the Tenth Army. Tucked away in a costly installation, the battalion operates « round-the-clock work schedule on the most vital of military information maps. ' Invasion maps for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps roll $A hours a day through the huge lithopraph presses. Operations maps for phases of the Mediterranean campaign, for the in vasion of Normandy, have been pro duced and eventually the battalion will be turning out road guides to the Palace. This intricate map making process requires some at the highest priced photographic and reproduction equip meat, and more thoroughly trained technicians than any other phase of an invasion. The maps an printed many times, to include the culture (roads, buildings, etc.) woodlines and hypsopraphy, which is water. Origi nating from countless thousands of aerial photograph*, the maps must be put through an' elaborate process of drafting, computation, and editing before reaching the stages of plate making and printing. The battalion was activated in September, 1939. In December, *43, the unit moved to ETO, returning for a short •furlough to the State* last November, and then heading to the Hawaiian Islands. The Unit has received official commendations upon the speed and accuracy of its work from Lt Gen. A. M. Patch, U. S. Seventh Army commander, and from Lt. Gen. Simon Bolivar Budkner, commanding the U. S. Tenth Army now fighting in the Okinawa cam paign. Lt. Col. Duke, in command of the unit, is the husband of the former Miss Vendee Lang Jones, of Farm ville. BIRD CLUB Donald Bryan read a story to the club members on Saturday about the Baltimore Oriole. A small boy noticed t>ne of these birds for the first time and wished it would nest in his yard, so upon advice from his mother he took hairs from the horse's tails and bits -tff string, put them in the trees and on the fence posts for it to make a nest with. He watched the birds build the nest in the very top of a red maple tree. They selected a place where the strings could be woven about three limbs. It required nearly a week and when completed was a sort of bag about six inches deep and 3 or 4 inches in diameter. It was woven so securely that it was almost as strong | aa a cloth bag. Inside was a lining of sheep's wool, feathers, soft grass and moss. The boy spent so much time watch ing the work that the birds Anally came to regard him without fear, continuing the building as though he were not near: He enjoyed watching the orioles take a bath which they did regularly, but he never knew two to bathe at the same time. One al ways waited until the other was through and thoroughly dry. He wanted one of the young ones 'for a pet but when tjjpy left the nest they were abl»to fly so well he could [not catch one. However a neighbor succeeded in catching some and put them in a cage, hanging it near the nest thinking the parents would feed them. For two days they did, trying all the time to get them out of the cage. The next day they fed them at noon but did not return. Before night every bird was dead. Evident ly the parents had poisoned them rather than allow them to languish in prison. After that the little boy never tried to catch young orioles for he felt it would be cruel to keep birds that preferred death to cap tivity. Many farmers believe a pair of orioles nesting, in the orchard will save at least fifty bushels of apples from becoming wormy as they eat toe moth which lays toe egg that makes the apple worm. Plums from a tree in the yard were enjoyed during the meeting. Roy Moore was welcomed ae a new member.
