"Dear Neighbors and Friends of Duplin County: Some of you I know and some I donot, but I want to talk to you a little regarding your purchase of the Christmas Seals sent to you by your Duplin County Tuberculosis Association. I am a patient at the North Carolina Sanitorium at Mc Cain, and I would like to add my plea to Mrs. Taylor's Tuberculosis Association's Executive Secretary that you be renerous this year. I thought perhaps, too, that you might like to know my thowh's concerning matters connected with the disease of Tuberculosis which should be of vital concern to you. your family and friends, and I would also like to tell you of the things your gifts make possible, to the patients, here at the Sanator ium. First, comes research mnch of which has been done in the past, and 1 am told that there is still much being done in this field right now. Already the new drugs discov ered thru this research has decreas ed the average stay of a patient from 2 or 3 years to 7 to 9 months. Personally I am counting on these drugs very heavily, gnd am hopiftg and praying that J will be IttcKy enough to be cjrred in ,a short time. New surgical, techniques,' also, have' come thru the research program that have done wonders for the T. 71. \:.'*;m of today. Second, many of the services pro vided to the patients are suppor ted by Christmas Seal Sales money. Some of these services are as fol lows. The weekly newspaper which keeps us posted on activities with in the Sanatorium, and much of the material given us by the interested workers in the Occupational The rapy Department, the prizes and refreshments for the parties we have occasionally, the attractive favors on our meal trays on holi days, the beautiful new Chapel, be ing given by T. B. Associations in the McCain area: the clothing as well as personal items provided to the needy patients, the well equip ped playroom and out door play ground where the 40 to 50 children, under ten years of a?e, are enter tained and made happy under the o-ir'.fiii supervision of two well trained supervisors, the reading material furnished by subscriptions given by the T. B. Association to the Library. These are not all I know, but they are a few of the services you help to give the pat ients here at the Sanatorium when you buy Christmas Seals. Mrs. Taylor can tell you all a bout what your money is doing there at home, toward the earlv de tection of T. B. and the rehabilita tion of patients returning home, but I wanted you to know some of the thniys that'I have discovered and seen here at the Sanatorium it self. As for m? personally, I am eet ting along fine, and am thankful for many thin-s The fact that I went to my doctor for a check-up and X-Ray: the professional care and attention ! am reedving from and dedicated Doctors and nurses Aere at McCain. The probability of an early return to my family, job and many friends, made possible by an early diagnosis of my illness. Sincerely, Bill Best, Room 30, Brock 2 McCain, N. C.

Maurice Mayo, young operator of a turkey farm on Route 2, Au rora. has loutid catering to holi day appetites a profitable ven iw-o una nas set an example of agricultural diversificatin for the coastal region. Mayo will be the first to tell you that turkeys are unusual "critters". They're more curious than the proveroial cat and will immediately investigate any tor eign ouject that enters iheir ra nge. Russell Lee, agricultural deve lopment engineer for Carolina Po wer 6c Ligul ?Company wno has worked with M-yo in his turkey venti're, recounts his experience with the flock: "As they surround you, their resounding gourde spr eads throughout the flock and ri ses to a crescendo tnat literally shakes the earth." The domestic turkey demands great care. A muddy range, too much rain or heat, or an outbreak ot disease can quickly decimate a . flock. M!ayo rotates his flock from range to range, keeping them on sandy soil wherever possible. He has several shelters under which the birds can escape extreme he.it or rain. He watches them care fully to detect and quickly check DINNER C0MIN3 UP?The legal turkey is a traditional symbol of the American Thanksgiving season.

To keep his flock dixie, he separates V>en& end toms throughout their stay at th* farm. To prevent disease-causing in jury from fighting, Mayo "de snoods" the birds. The snood is the fleshey protrusion over the beak of the turkey. It is pinched off early in the turkey's life. Mayo houses his turkeys eight weeks and then turns them on the range. He roitates the range every four years to cut down the possi bility of disease carryover. The plump bird delivered to the Tanksgiving table would suggest that the turkey is a hearty eater. Mayo agrees! His birds consume four tons ot feed daily. To' satisfy this appetite, he has erected his own feed mix mill and reports that it has saved him a bout $5,000 in the three years of operation. He {plans . adf tional storage to keep his own grain on the tarm and increase profits fur ther. Toms gain about a pound S week; hens two-thirds of a pound when fed the high protein diet. Hens are sold at 20 weeks at wei gh. s averaging 13 pounds and toms at 25 to 26 weeks weighing about 25 pounds. Mayo sells his turkeys indepen dently to three processing plants in North Carolina. % BRIEFS - ? t- i w, i ,.i FIREMEN called The Warsaw fire department was called to the residence of Dick Lane Saturday night to extinguish a fire that broke out in an electric cook ing stove.

I I on Peanut Peanut farmers ei Duplin Co unty will vole in a referendum dn Tuesday, Dec. 11, to determine whether marketing quotas will be used fur the 1U63, 1964 and 1909 crops of peanuts. A similar vote is being held on the same day in all areas where peanuts are gro wn. According to O. L.

At least two-thirds of all far mers voting must approve the quotas before they may be made eltective. If marketing quotas are not approved, they will not be used tor the 1963 peanut crops, and another vote will be held next year on quotas for the fal lowing three crops. Explaining that the Secretary cf Agriculture is directed by law to proclaim peanut marketing quotas, Mr. Holland stated that each year, between July 1 and Dec. 1, tne secretary must pro claim the amount of the quota for the next crop.
