Poskry Circular
Plwity of good, common "chicken
lenae" Is needed by a farmer who
wants to be successful with a laying
flock, believe extension cpecialists
at State college.
This opinion it expressed in a
reviaed circular on "Laying Flock
Marvtgement," which has just been
published. The publication was pre
pared by C. J. Maupin, C. F. Par
rish, T. B. Morris, and W. G. An
drews.
The person who wants to be
a successful poultry manager, say
the authors, must have a love for
poultry, be willing to work, and
be a close observer of details. He
must start with good stock, follow
appiovod practices in the laying
house, use recommended equip
ment, and give the birds plenty of
fresh, high-quality feed.
T>e successful poultryman must
also provide lights for the layers
when needed, cull the flock regu
larly, and take the necessary steps
to control diseases and parasites.
Finally, he must keep accurate,
detailed records on the enterprise.
In addition to covering each of
these points, the specialists dis
cuss such things as floor space, lit
ter, care of eggs, and cannibalism.
They also list other free State col
lege publications which arc of in
terest to poultrymen.
"Laying Flock Managemen" is
16 pages in length and is illus
trated with several photographs.
Single copies of the publication, is
sued as Extension Circular No. 279
(Revised), may be obtained from
the gounty agent or by writing the
Agriculural Editor, State Col
lege Station, Raleigh.

It's a snake with two heads. Mrs. Fred Thames of Port Neches,
Texas, caught it while fishing. Her two sons, 6 and 11, have adopt- '
ed it for a house pet. The "critter" is 11 1/2 inches long, has brown
patches like a rattler, but no rattles. Each of il* perfect twin heads
has two eyes and a mouth.
Englanders Themselves

London ? (AP) ? Many Ameri
can tourists are running into a
language barrier they never expect
ed to encounter in England.
And it isn't merely pronuncia
tions like "bawth" and "tomahto"
that throw them.
An American newspaperman in
London stopped at the corner one
evening to collect the newspapers
? a chore normally attended to by
nis wile, uut she was beaded with
'flu.
"Where's the Missus, Gov?" ask
ed the newsvendor. ' Not queer,
I 'ope."
He wasn't being rude, but mere
ly solieitious about the state of his
customers's health.
American "Innocents Abroad"'
learn to ask for a "serviette" in
stead of a table napkin in restau
rants. That layer-cake on the pas
try tray is known only as "gateau"
to the waitress and it's useless to
ask for it by any other name.
The cinema (movies) has taught
most Americans that an elevator
is a "lift" to their British cousins.
But do they know that some very
respectable restaurants advertise
themselves as "dives?"
If you are looking for a hardware
store to replace that lost trunk
key, you'll want an "ironmonger."
A request for an orchestra seat
at the theater will bring a blank
start from the cashier. You want
a seat in the "stalls." It's the "cir
cle" if you prefer the balcony.
A "quid" is a pound, or $2.80.
A "bob" is a shilling, worth 14
cents. You'll want to tip the por
ter half a crown. That's about the
same size as an American half dol
lar but worth 35 cents. A sixpence
(seven cents) is sometimes called
a "tanner."
Of a somewhat special character
is the rhyming slang of London's
Cockneys. This takes a common
place word and changes it into
something that rhymes with the
original word.
Thus, a motor car becomes a
"jam jar." A cash till is a "jack
and-jill." And thf simple farewell
"goodbye" becomes? by some de
licious switch ? "cherry pie."
Malay Women Organize
To Fight 'Easy Divorce'
Singapore? (AP) ? Malay wom
en want to hold their husbands.
They're banding together to fight
"easy divorce." Women members
of the United Malays' National Or
ganization are demanding to know
why a man should be able to say
"I want a divorce" and get it.
And it's really easy. All a Mos
lem has to do to get a divorce is
to tell his wife he wants one. This,
say the Malay women, is "disgrace
fully" simple. They added women
had no protection at all and the
husband was not compelled to pay
for their maintenance.
So the women of the UMNO an
nounced they'll fight to have Mos
lem law changed at the next semi
annual meeting of the organization
in Kuala Lumpur.

Slate Institutions Offer
Special Care for Boys, Girls
By Tom Wicker
State Board of Public Welfare
When children have the sort of
problems that cannot be success
fully treated in the average home,
either their own or a boarding
home, they arc usually placed in
institutions where specialized care
can be had. In North Carolina,
there are several institutions which
offer such specialized care for
boys and girls of both races. These
institutions, as far as possible, each
deal with only one general type of
problem.
Thus, at Samarcand Manor near
Eagle Springs, is the State Home
and Industrial School for Girls,
which accepts delinquent white
girls, or those with aggravated be
havior difficulties. The State Train
ing school at Kinston, known as
Dobbs Farms, performs the same
function for Negro girls, and the
Eastern Carolina Training school
at Rocky Mount and the Stonewall
Jackson Manuel Training and In
dustrial school at Concord offer
special training to white boys. Mor
rison Industrial school is the in
stitution for such problems among
Negro boys.
Caswell Training school at Kin
ston provides facilities for feeble
minded white boys and girls. (The
need for such a school for Negro
children is a recurrent one in this
state). The Orthopedic hospital at
Gastonia and the Cerebral Palsy
hospital at Durham offer facilities
for the treatment of crippling dis
eases.
These are the primary institu
tions which the State of North
Carolina furnishes for its children,
together with the three schools for
the blind and the deaf. There are
also, of course, several private in
stitutions which offer some of the
same facilities and treatment.
One of the responsibilities
charged to county departments of
public welfare is to see that the
children of the state who need
the care these institutions can
provide are given the opportunity
for that care. A further respon
sibility is to help such children set
the most from what the institu
tion has to offer, and a third re
sponsibility is to help these chil
dren adjust again to everyday life
when, and if, they no longer need
the institutional care.
To carry out the first of these
responsibilities in connection with
state institutions, helping children
to get needed institutional care,
county departments of public wel
fare must study a child's individual
problems from every angle? fam
ily history, personal history, psy
chological examination, medical
examination, etc. ? to make sure
that an institution is really what
is needed.
A social history for the insti
tution must be compiled, contain
ing all that is known about the
child from the study already men
tioned. Since, due to crowded con
ditions, most institutions 'have
waiting lists, the county depart
ment places him on that list, and
works toward having him admit
ted as soon as possible. Often,
the department provides transpor
tation to the institution and sees
the child safely admitted.
During the period of institution
alization, the county department
does not forget the child. It keeps
in touch with him, often acts as a
connecting link between him and
{ his home, encourages him when
'the going is rough, consults with
institution officials as to his pro
gress, and keeps the parents in
formed about his health and hap
piness.
If the institutional care has been
successful, there may come, of
course, the day when the child re
turns to his home. A big job still
faces the county department of
public welfare, however. The
youngster may find return to his
home and to everyday problems
difficult after life in an institu
tion. He will still need help and
encouragement. His parents and
Iriends will need advice and con
sultation on his needs. Above all,
i he will need to be made to feel
that he is again a part of his fam
ily and his community.
Such an undertaking requires
skilled case work and continuing
supervision. It also requires a
great deal of human understand.
inn. Lack of understanding alone
may nullify great gains.
Thus, preparing children (or
care in an institution, and helping
them to achieve the most out of
their institutional experiences, is
one of the most significant respon
sibilities of a county department
of public welfare, one which no
county department takes lightly.
Workers are trained to undertake
such responsibilities and to seek
constantly to find better methods
and techniques of treatment. In
all their programs for the people,
county departments of public wel
fare strive to help others to help
themselves. In working with chil
dren who need institutional care,
they find a real challenge, and a
real opportunity, to do so.
Legend says that when a name
was sought for the capital of Switz
erland, the people organized a
great hunt and the city was named
after the first animal slain, a bear

"TOTHen you look at all a Roadmaster has to
W offer, it's only natural to conclude that
it's priced with the rest of the fine-car field.
Sweeping proudly past you, it has a distinction
that few cars can equal.
Stepping nimbly away from a stop light, it has
the willing surge of power that the very exclu
sive combination of a 152-horsepower Fireball
engine and Dynaflow Drive* delivers.
It rides the road with majestic smoothness, and
comes to a smooth and gentle halt, in response
to the finest brakes Buick ever developed.
< Inside, it has spacious room, from side to side
and front to back and seat to roof? plus a soft
ness of cushions and a richness of fabrics which
bespeak the custom standards to which it is I
painstakingly built.
? M ROAUMAgTWm, *
AH you could want in a fine car ia here in
abundance.
But don't let that fool you into deciding "it's
too rich for me."
If you've looked into 1951 car price? generally,
you'll discover this:
You can own a Roadmaster for just a shade
more than an ordinary car will cost? and for
aeveral hundred dollars less than the price tags
usually found in "the fine-car field."
Why not look into this today?
