Bat Bites
Kenansville
Lady
Avery vicious little creature
entered the home of Mrs. Mar
Saret Dsil in Kenansville Mon
ay and bit her on her hand.
The unwelcome little visitor
proved to be a batt, and Mrs.
Oail is talcing the dreaded ra
bies treatment.
Mrs. Oail said that she no
tices the very small object on
the window curtain of her up
stairs bedroom and thought that
it was a bird. She caught the
supposedly bird in an effort
to put it out doors, and the
batt sank its teeth into a fin
ger on her right hand. She
went down stairs clutching the
batt, called her daughter, Anne
and told her something had bit
her. By this time the batt had
spread its wings and Anne re
cognized it as a batt.
Mrs. Dail contacted the local
Health Department and they ad
vised her to see her private
physician immediately, ana take
the dreaded rabies treatment.
The serium had to be ob
tained from Raleigh so
treatment was not started until
Tuesday when Mrs. Dail took
the first of fourteen shots.
The Dail home has a dis
appearing staircase to the at
tic which had been opened over
the week end, and Mrs. Dail
thinks the batt must have been
in the attic and came down to the
upstairs bedroom while the
stair case was open.

East Pakistan Official Visits
By; Ruth Wells
A representative of the Go
vernment of East Pakistan vi
sited Duplin County last week,
observing the agricultural mar
keting methods.
Mr. R. M. Jahangir Khan,
marketing Official from East
Pakistan arrived in America in
Pakistan arrived in America in
August of las t year. He attend
ed an agricultural marketing
short course in Ohio State Uni
versity, and has observed mar
keting practices in Kansas,
Louisiana and Nort h Carolina
Many crops grown in East
Pakistan are grown in this area
including tobacco, peanuts, su
gar cane and vegetables. How
ever, their main crops are rice
and Jute. They also produce in
marketing quantities mustard
seed and tea Their farms are
very small averaging about five
acres of cropland. Each farm
produces two main crops, a
second following harvesting the
first crops. Often a third and
sometimes a fourth crop is
planted. Because of the small
crops there is no great need
for on the farm storage. Pro
duction there is encouraged by
Government Price support.
Elephants, camels and buffalo
are useed in farming operations
Tigers are plentiful and furious.
Tobacco is marketed there
without benefit of an auction
sale. Licensed warehousemen
buy the tobacco whenever the
farmer gets it ready for mar
ket.
The soil in East Pakistan is
very fertile requiring only li
mited amounts of commercial
fertilizer.
Mr. Khan said that most com
modities were much cheaper in
his country however, tobacco
sometimes brings as much as
60<t per pound.
East Pakistan though separa
ted from West Pakistan by In
dia, a distance of 1,000 miles,
is under one government. The
national religion is Moselum,
which prohibits drinking, and
alcohol is used only by a very
small percentage of the na
tives. This law explains Mr.
Khan does not apply to tourist.
Marriages are negotiate d by
families and the divorce rate
is very, very low.
Their native dress is more
on the orential type than in
America. Mr. Khan says their
folk songs are different as is
their dances. The main differ
ence is they have so many less
cars.
Mr. Khan is married and has
three children, a son age 6
and two daughters age 8 and 4.
Apparently a devoted family
man he was quick to produce a
picture of his wife and children.
He is also proud of his country
and their efforts to progress.
He believes tha t the Family
Planning Program now being
instituted in his country will
prove invaluable as there are
now 1100 persons per square
mile.
Mr. Khan says that he has
found much of value to take
hme with him to improve their
marketing conditions, but he
values equally as much, the
good will of tne people he has
met here.
