of
A IklGIIim Drunks!
Americans like facts and here are
two which should be of importance
to every one who ever took a diiidc.
'^ere are at least 200,000 chronic
aleoholics in the United States to
day, plus one million or more per-
•mis who . . . are in danger of be
coming chronic alcoholics, acco^-
big to Dr. Lawrence Kolb, assists
surgeon general of the United States
Public Health Service.
Of 10 persons drink, even “so-
dally”, three will become drunkards
and Ahe seven
will show the "ef
fects” in their
bodies some time,
according to the
late, famed Dr.
CSiarlea Mayo..
Surest, fool
proof test to de
termine whether
you are an al
coholic, accord
ing to the Keeley Institute, is to
ask yourself; "Can I take it or leave
it alone?” The catch is that you not
only have to be honest in your an
swer but then you have to prove it
by "leaving it alone.” The drinker
who says he never gets drunk, who
says "I could quit tomorrow, if I
wanted to” but whose nerves go to
pieces wjien not anesthetized by al
cohol, is an alcoholic and a medical
case.
Alcoholism, growing by leaps and
hounds since repeal according to the
Ration’s mental hospitals, is just one
of the effects of beer, wine and
spirits which causes the W.C.T.U.
and other re-
••A MIIUm

ligious and tem
perance groups
to say: "Stop
these effects by
turning off the
faucet of the
liquor supply.”
Relegalization
has made liquor
easily accessible
to all Americans
P ith cveiy form of high-pressure
lerchan^ing being used to in-
creese consumption—in other words
lo make more non-drinkers into
drinkers.
.The reverse could also be true,
social workers say, and aU the hu
man and economic costs of liquoi
be reduced by making it more diffi
cult to secure.
Dairy Farmers
Plan Nfiw For
Next H^ter
If normal rainfall occurs this sum
mer, dairy fanners of North Carolina
will produce the extra 79 million
pounds of milk asked of them in the
“Food-for-Freedom” program, says
F. R. Famham, Extension dairyman
of N. C. State College. He predicts
that a better feeding program, a pas
ture improvement program based on
applications of lime and phosphate,
and an increased number of milk
cows will enable the milk goals to be
met.
“However,” he added, “if we are
to follow through with a continued
increase of dairy production, it is of
the utmost importance that farm
ers plan now to grow those crops
that will furnish feed for cows next
winter. The dairy herd must be
adequately fed after the'fall frosts
kill the grass-in pastures.”
Farnham says that every farmer
who plans to milk five or more cows
will need an acre or more of good
silage corn. .Each cow will need at
least three tons of silage to carry her
through next winter, when the feed
ration includes, also, a good quality
of legume hay and a liberal grain ra
tion.
“Silage is a cheap source of succu
lent roughage,” the Extension dairy
man said. “A yield of from 10 to 12
tons of silage com per acre is quite
common in this state. There is pro
bably no other crop that will produce
more digestible nutrients than an
acre of corn yielding 10 or more tons
of silage per acre.”
Farnham reports that milk pro
duction is being increased rapidly
aU over the state, especially in the
Piedmont and Western North Caro
lina. He says that milk receipts at
the Shelby receiving station of one
of the large dairy manufacturing
plants showed an increase of 68 per
cent in one week, over the corre
sponding period of 1941.

partment of Hoke County High

ly 35 fathers attended with their

come to which Mr. R. J. Hasty gave
a response.

Economics girls under toe direction
Miss Huldah Hall, Home Economics
teacher.

Whole Wheat
Demonstration
Miss Sallie Brooks, assistant exten
sion nutritionist and L. L. McIl.endon
of Raleigh will give a demonstration
on the use of whole wheat at toe Rae
ford curb market on Saturday morn
ing, April 11th. Whole grain wheat
is an economical source of energy,
minerals and vitamins. It is espec
ially valuable as a source of vita
min B, which is needed for good
appetite, good digestion and good,
steady nerves. It is also a good source
of iron, phosphorous riboflavin and
nicotihic acid, all of which is needed
for good nutrition.
Miss Brooks and Mr. McLendon
will give a demonstration using a
small hand mill to grind the wheat
into flour. Whole wheat products
will be exhibited.
The Curb Market is located in the
town hall and is open from 8:30 until
eleven o’clock on Saturdays. The
public is cordially invited to visit the
market on Saturdays to see the dem
onstration.

Facts About The
Occupational
Registration
To be conducted by Selective Ser
vice System and U. S. Employment
Service.
WHAT IS IT
Every man between 20 and 44 years
of age who registered for Selective
Service on February 16 will receive
art "Occupaticmal'queiBtionnaire” ffom
his local Selective Service Board.
The questionnaires will be rnailpd
to registrants about April 1, and must
be .filled out and returned to the
Selective Service Boards within ten
days after they are received.
WHAT nr ASKS
Each questionnaire is in two iden
tical parts—one for toe Selective Ser
vice System and one for the United
States ...mployment Service. It asks
for information about the registrant’s
present job, his education, and also
asks him to indicate toe kind of work
for which he considers himself best
fitted, whether or not he is presently
employed at such work. In addition,
toe questionnaire contains a list of
228 different occupations which are
important to the war industries. Reg
istrants are to check any of these in
which they have had training or ex
perience and indicate those ior which
they are best fitted.
Applicants who need help in filling
out their questionnaire are told to
ask for such assistance from their em
ployer, their labor union, from any
office of toe United tates Employ
ment Service, or from a member of
.the Selective Service local Advisory
Board for registrants. No fee is to
be charged for this service
USE OP INFORMA'nON
The U. S. Employment offices will
determine which men are already
qualified or can be'quickly trained
tor work in essential war industries.
Those men wiU then be asked to come
to the local employment office for a
fact-finding interview.
Workers posesessing skills impor
tant to war production, but who are
not working in War industry or in es-
sential civiUan activiUes, but who are
willing to be trained and transferred
to such work, will be given an oppor-
tunity to do so.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the occupational
registration is to provide the Gov
ernment with a complete occupa
tional inventory of its manpower, in
order: ‘ '
1. To avoid the induction into the
armed forces of men who arte more
urgeirtly needed in war production,
j. To replace workers who are now
deferred from military service on oc
cupational grounds whenever pos
sible, with vocational trainees or oth
er qualified persons, who, because of
age, sex, or other reasons are not
eligible for mtotary service, and
3. To speed up war production by
promoting the transfer of workers
fr^ nonessential to essential work
o“«Pational
registration the • same questionnaire
il ^ '"en who
registered for Selective Service dur-
“nd 1941 (except those al-
ready mducted into the armed forces)
and later to those men from 18 to 20
and from 45 through 64 who are stfil
o be registered. Eventually the
Government wUl have information
on the occupational skills of the en-
tire male population between 18 and
64 ^ars of age—approximately 40
milhon men.

Lnflier Wood
Says Lead Workers
Should Drink
Plenty of Milk
I , ■
Chicago, April 9.—Results of recent
research in the prevention of lead
poisoning indicate the importance of
consuming adequate quantities of
milk, according to the editorial in a
recent issue of the Journal of toe
American Medical Association. "The
deposition of lead in the bones ap
pears to take place in inverse ratio
to that of calcium,” states the article.
“This,” declares Milton Hult, pres
ident of toe National Dairy Council,
“makes clear the reason why some
industrialists have found it is impor
tant to protect *their workers by en
couraging them to drink milk.’’ Ade
quate quantities of milk and its pro,-
ducts are toe most reliable sources
of calcium in the diet Many indus
trialists, recognizing this fact, urge
the regular use of milk at meal time
and have milk served to employees
during their moriling and afternoon
rest periods.
Lead poisoning, is considered one of
the chief hazards to the health of itt-
dustrial workers. In plants where
lead is used, even the dust is found to
contain quantities of this metal. In
mines and smelting plants, in the
manufacture of paint pigments, stor
age batteries, tetraethyl lead for mot
or fuels, and spray materials to be
.used on fruits and vegetables, small
amounts of lead are swallowed from
time to time by the workers and ac
cumulate in the body until lead pois
oning may occur.
