Fink, Consultant in Mental Hygiene with the State School Health Coordinating Serv ice to meet with the white and colored teachers in January. Dr. Fink held a series of meet ings with the colored teachers last year and will do follow-up work with them in two meetings this year. He will meet with the white teachers in four meetings. We are exceedingly fortunate in being able to secure Dr. Fink. He is an outstanding authority in his field. The field of Mental Health is one in which teachers are begin ning to pioneer. It is one in which a great deal of work should be done. When we know that one out of every eight adults will be a patient in a mental institution sometime in their lives, we realize that something should be done to involve the mental health of the school population. gram and are holding clinics each week in the two high schools. All ball players are given a thorough physical examination as are all students in the 9th and 12th grades. All this is in addition to the regular examination of all students in all schools by the teachers and muses. If the teach ers and nurses find a child which they thing needs a doctor’s atten tion, the parents are so notified. If parents, are unable to have the necessary work done, the school Health Program assists in having it done. So far, in only a very few cases has School Health had to assume the entire load. The school health program pays % the salary or one of the three nurses in the Health Department; for this we schools get one-third of the time of all three nurses. They visit each school in the county on regular schedule and see all children that the teachers feel should have attention. The nurses also visit the schools on call if the necessity for their help a- rises. the winter work conference of sdrool superintendents being held In Itlgh Point this week.

Thanksgiving decorations an projects are giving away to those in preparation for Christmas. We had a great deal to be thank ful for this year and we feel that Christmas should be an unusually happy time. The Board of Education has al ready received its best Christmas gift in the form of a letter from the Division of School Planning giving them the go sign on the Primary Building at the Graded School. The architect is beginning the revision of the plans to con form to the agreement with the Division. Contracts should be let early in the year and construction started.

MacDonald is attending Baleigh—Registration officials of the Department of Motor Ve hicles watched the last of 1,275,000 license renewal cards hit the mail last Thursday. The cards were mailed to reach their owners by December 1. On that date 1953 plates went on sale throughout the state and the renewal cards are necessary to purchase a tag. Owners who fail to receive a card are asked to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles and request one. The new year’s color scheme is black with orange numerals and letters. The 1953 plate has a tiny slot cut into the lower right hand corner. Officia^g^xplain it was put there so that a date tab, like those used during World. War H, may be attached to the plate in the event of a steel shortage or other emergency. Current plates are valid until midnight January 31, 1952, but of ficials urge owners to buy early and avoid the usual last minute rush. Truck and trailer owners again will be asked to check their vehicle’s body type, tank capacity and fuel used. This information is requested for the Department of Defense, which seeks a reliable es timate of the nation’s total motor transport capabilities. New plates may be purchased, either by mail or in person from DMW’s Raleigh office, the Wins ton-Salem Auto Club, and from the following branches of the Car olina Motor Club; Ahoskie, Albemarle, Asheboro, Asheville, Brevard, Burlington, Canton, Charlotte, Clinton, Con cord, Dunn, Durham, Edenton, ^ Elizabeth City, Elizabethtown, Fayetteville, Forest City, Frank lin, Gastonia, Goldsboro, Greens boro, Greenville, Hamlet, Hender son, Hendersonville, Hickory, High point, Jacksonville, Kannapolis, Kinston, Laurinburg, Leaksville, Lenoir, Lexington, Lincolnton, Lumberfoh7 Madrs6h7"TM'aTrt'e‘Ot Monroe, Morehead City, Morgan- ton.

Many Holiday Foods In Plentiful Supply Many traditional holiday season foods will be in plentiful supply on most markets in the comipg month, with turkeys, raisins, and pork and pork products heading the parade of favorite says the home demonstration agent for the State College Extension Service. She pointed out that this year’s turkey' crop has hit a record, and that raisin production, at 295,000 tons, is far ahead of the average for the past five years. Seasonally heavy marketings of hogs in re cent weeks are bringing abimdant supplies of pork to market. December new comers to the plentiful* foods list, as issued by the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, include oranges and grape fruit. A record crop of oranges is indicated, with production of early and midseason varieties es timated at about 20 per cent great er than the ten-year (1941-50) average. Grapefruit production is somewhat below that of last sea son, but ample supplies are fore cast, at reasonable prices.
