30 Per Cent
Car Wrecks
If you’re an HBD, you’re head
ed for trouble when you drive a
car.
Those three letters can increase
the' seriousness of any traffice
charge against you, make it prac
tically certain you’ll be convicted—
and increase the penalty. HBD,
written on the police blotter,
stands for “had been drinking.”
And if they’re written alongside a
traffic charge against you they
mean trouble. It isn’t necessary to
be drunk while driving. “Had been
drinking” is enough—even _ if
you’ve had only those proverbial
“couple of beers.”
Only about 1,500 people died of
poisons accidently last year in the
United States. Unless, that is, you
count alcohol in a driver as poi
son—which it is, judging by results.
Last year about 30 per cent of alT
North Carolina drivers or pedes
trains involved in fatal accidents
were those who “had been drink
ing.”
For when a driver or passenger
is taken to the hospital after an ac
cident, the hospital all too often
adds three more letters to the HBD
on the police blotter. Those three
letters are DOA—dead on arrival.

Faison Ekes Out 7-6 Win
Over Locals Last Thursday
Faison squeezed home two runs
in the last inning to nose out Mount
Olive, 7-6, in a high school base
ball game played at Faison Thurs
day afternoon. The defeat was the
first this season for the Panthers,
who have won two, including a
3-2 win earlier in the week over the
Faison club.
Mount Olive took a first inning
lead on Jimmy Deavers’ homer,
and except for when Faison tied
it up temporarily midway the
game, maintained that lead until
the fatal seventh. The game was
called at the end of the seventh
frame in accordance with pre-game
agreement.
Donald Lindsay, rookie lefthand
er, started on the mound for Mount
Olive but gave way to Dave Gil
Us in the third. Gillis was charged
with the loss.
Anyone who tries to grow toma
toes in the South is concerned with
the problem of wilt. There are two
kinds of wilt which commonly ef
fect tomatoes as fusarium and
bacterial wilt—caused by two dif
ferent organisms which are quite
common in garden soils of this
state. Both carries over in the
soil from year to year.
Fusarium wilt can be effectively
combatted by the use of wilt resist
ant varieties such as Homestead,
Southland, and Jefferson, Marglobe
and Rutgers are still very popular
varieties but seem to have very
little resistance to the present
strains of fusarium wilt. There are
at present no varieties available
which are resistant to bacterial
wilt. That is why when you plant
a variety recommended to you as
wilt resistant, the plants may all
die of wilt. Bacterial wilt is com
monly known as Granville wilt
where tobacco is grown.
The emphasis is still being put
on ice-box sized watermelons. The
New Hampshire Midget variety
which grows to the size of a canta
loupe has become quite popular in
the home garden. Hills may be
spaced as close as five or six feet
apart. A fault of this variety is that
it becomes over-ripe very quickly.
Another good small melon is the
Rhode Island Red variety which
weighs about 10-12 pounds, on the
average. It has deep red flesh and
black seeds. The best of them all,
in my opinion, is the Japanese
Seedless melon. It will average
from 8 to 12 pounds in weight, and
is of excellent quality. There are
seldom more than a dozen mature
seeds in a melon—the rest of the
seeds are undeveloped and may be
eaten with the melon. Seeds for
planting are quite expensive—al
most 5 cents per seed this year—
but the results are worth it.
Prepare Woolens
For Storage Now
With the weather warming up,
you may not feel like talking or
thinking woolens; but according
to Mamie Whisnant, State College
home management specialist, now
is the time to plan storage of wool
en blankets and bedding.
if you’re washing wool blankets
this spring—or other woolen cloth
ing, for that matter—try using the
easy soak method for getting them
clean. According to Miss Whisnant,

this simple procedure will save you
both time and energy, and it will
save shrinkage of these woolen
materials.
Here is the blanket-washing
method developed by United States
Three tips *were offered by the
Vetetans Administration to veter
ans who have special Korean GI
insurance.
Almost 100,000 post-Korea veter
ans have taken out the special term
insurance available to them upon
separation from active military
service, VA said. ,
To these new policies, the follow
ing three points of advice were
offered:
First, get into the habit of pay
ing all premiums when they are,
due. Although the law law allows a
“grace period” of 31 days during
which the policy remains in effect
even if a premium due is not paid,
veterans should consisder this pro
vision, an emergency measure and
reserve it for an emergency.
Second, do not send cash
through the mails in paying pre
mium, but use a check or money
order made payable to the Veter
ans Administration. Your canceled
check or mohey order stub will
serve as a receipt.
Third, be sure to name your
beneficiaries and*have this infor
mation recorded by VA. This may
be done at the nearest VA office.
After their separation from ac
tive military service, Korean vet
erans have only 120 days in which
to apply for the special term in
surance, VA addpd, for the bene
fit of men and women just releas
Department of Agriculture specia
lists which will save shrinkage:
submerge blanket in water in which
detergent is dissolved and allow to
soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Then
turn blanket over once or twice,
spin off water and refill machine
for rinsing. The rinse, too, is done
simply by soaking—no operation of
the machine. Soak- in rinse water
for about five minutes, extract
water, and turn blanket while a
second deep rinse comes into the
machine. Extract water, stretch
blanket to bring it back into size
and shape. When dry, brush to re
store original fluffiness.
U.S.D.A. specialists add that
other studies of washing wool fab
rics also indicate that the less
handling, rubbing or agitation of
wool in water, the less the chances
for shrinkage. In general, Miss
Whisnant recommends using only
luke-warm or tepid water and a
mild detergent for best results
when washing woolens.
ed from service.
Q—I have a $10,000 GI life in
surance policy on which I am pay
ing premiums on a monthly basis.
How do I go about changing my
payments to%n annual basis, and
where do I find out bow much the
annual payment will be?
A—Write to the VA District of
fice to which you are paying pre
miums, asking what the annual
premium on your policy would be
and the earliest date you may start
payments on an annual basis. That
will give you the information you
need to determine whether or not
you wish to make the change.
Q—I am a Korean veteran dis
charged before August 20, 1952, j
when the Korea GI Bill was enact
ed. I understand I have to be in
school by August 20, 1954, if I
wish to take advantage of the Ko
rea GI Bill. If I enroll in a sum
mer course this year and am in
school by August 20, would that
qualify me for further education
under the GI Bill?
A—Yes. Summer school courses
are permitted under the Korea GI
Bill, so if you are in a summer
school before your deadline for
starting education, you would be
permitted to continue after that
date under the Korea GI Bill.
Wool production in the United
States in 1953 was about 1 per
cent less than 1952.

Tha a the 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door
Sedan. With 3 seriee, Chevrolet offera a model
to meet every individual and family need.
These facts about the New Chevrolet
can help you make an important decision
Don’t you agree that buying a new car calls for careful
consideration? Regardless of make, it involves a sub
stantial amount of money and a lot of future satisfac
tion. This information can give you a better idea of com
parative value and help you decide which make to buy.
A good customer of ours was telling
us the othfer day how he sizes up a
new car. Because he’s bought a num
ber of them over the years, we were
interested in what hp had to say. We
think you Will be, too.
Actually, what he does is to ask
• about seven basic questions. The
answers give a pretty complete pic
ture of the car and its comparative
value. Here’s what he wants to know.
How well do I like its looks?
That’s one question, of course, that
only you can answer. You’re the one
who buys the. car arid you, above
anybody else, should be proud of its
' appearance.
All we can tell you is that we hear a
lot of nice things about Chevrolet’s
new styling. People seem to like the
new front-end and rear-end designs,
and the way the bumpers curve even
farther around the fenders. They like
the new styling touches all around the
! » ' car and the wide choice of bright new
colors and two-tone combinations. A
•> good many tell us that Chevrolet has
!. $■ a decided edge over the other cars in
its field for smooth and graceful lines.
Who makes the body?
1' This question takes in much poors*
territory than the appearance of the
oar. It involves the quality of the
Interior as well as the strength and
safety of the body construction.
That’s why we think it worth your
consideration that Chevrolet has the
only Body bf Fisher in the low-price
field.
You can see the difference outride
and inside. We’d especially like you
to look over the new interiors. Just sit
in the car, if you will. Feel the
quality of the fabrics and notice the
mare generous use of vinyl trim.
In all these ways, you’ll find evi
dence of superior quality and work
manship. And after all, isn’t that
what you would expect in Body by
Fisher? As you know, Fisher is the
largest and most famous manufacr
turer of automobile bodies in the
world. Doesn’t it stand to reason that
Fisher can build extra quality into ,
. the Chevrolet body? It’s there and
you can see it.
What’s under the hood?
You hear a great deal of talk these
days about engine power. The truth
ja that 'the number of horsepower
isn’t nearly as important as what the
horsepower does for you.
In this year V Chevrolet, you get
increased power in two finer engines.
There’s the “Blue-Flame 125’’ engine
ImhwI with Powerglide automatic
. transmission and optional on all
models at extra cost. In gearshift
models, you get the more powerful
“Blue-Flame 115” engine.
But, actually, the increase in
horsepower is only a sort of by- ,
product of design changes made for
other reasons. Chevrolet engineers
were after greater engine efficiency,
not just greater power. So, you get
unproved acceleration, with greater
and safer passing ability. You get
quieter, smoother operation. Ypu
climb the steep hills with oew ease.
How hungry is it for gasoline?
A car’s reputation for, and record of,
economy of operation is certainly an ,
important consideration to most ,
people. We’d be glad to have you
, compare Chevrolet in this respect
with any car at any price.
And, in the case of this new Chev
rolet, you do not have to sacrifice
economy for finer performance and
more horsepower. That’s because
the Chevrolet engines are high-com
pression engines. Hieir compression
ratio of 7.5 to 1 is the highest ip any
of the leading low-priced cars.
Hus means simply that the engine
compresses, or squeezes, the fuel mix
ture to a greater degree in order to
wring more work out of it. Hut’s
how Chevrolet is able to give you an
’ important gain in performance along
with money-saving gasoline mileage
—and on regular gas, of course. *
Is it up to date in features? ' '*
We can’t think of a new feature or
development you might want that
you can’t have on the new Chevrolet.
Now you can have Chevrolet’s zippy
and thrifty Powerglide automatic s
transmission on any model. You can ?
have Power Steering oh all models -
and at a new, lower price. You can
have Automatic Window and Seat /
Controls on any Bel Air or "Two- /.
Ten" model, and you can have f*
Power Brakes on any model equipped j
with Powerglide. All are, of course^
optional features at extra cost.
Bow popular a ear is it?
When you come right down to it,"
there’s no better way to judge the
satisfaction a car gives its owners >
than by its popularity. Bow many
people buy it and keep on buying it?
Well, as you may know, Chevrolet
is by far the most popular car in this
country. That’s true today and it’s
been true for a good many years now.
But it couldn’t be feus—or wouldn’t
be. true—unless Chevrolet gave its
owners an extra measure of satisfac
tion and value.
How much does it cost?
There’s a short, sweet answer to that
one: Chevrolet is priced below all other
tinee of can. This lower cost is made
passible by the greater/production
facilities and purchasing power of the
world’s largest manufacturer of auto
mobiles. That, is why Chevrolet can
dHer you all the advantages we’ve
told you about here—and many
more, too.
We’d be more than glad to have
you see all these things for.yoursdf
and to try out this new Chevrolet on
the road. We’ll be happy to see you
at any time. y
