— MORE ABOUT — Attending Meeting (Continued From Front Page) leaden in blind aid work from all parts of the nation have con sulted or visited the commission headquarters here. And the Tar Heel program has been attracting international at tention as well for the past sev eral years. The Paris invitation is the third onen to Wood to lend a hand in blind aid work outside I the United States. Two years a go, through the United Nations, he was asked by the government of Ygypt to go to that Mediter ranean country and assist in the formulation of an improved pro gram of aid to the blind. And a year ago he was invited by the Lions Clubs of Cua to go to that country and set up a blind aid center similar to the one in this state. Wood declined both invita tions because of the prolonged ab sences from the state that would have been necessary. In addition to the overseas in vitations, scores of visitors from foreign countries have come to North Carolina to study the State’s blind aid and sight con servation program. Wood will land at Le Havre, France, from the SS United States and will return by plane August 17. Mr. Wood is an Uncle of Mrs. Bill Rhyne of Cherryville.

Such a crop 1 would be about 11 million pounds j heavier than last year’s crop, ! when total production was 832 j million pounds.

The “starter mixture’’ activates a bacterial growth which attacks organic waste and reduces it to a | fraction of its bulk leaving only a moist humus-like residue which can be used for garden fertilizer after the unit is moved to a new spot in two to three years.
