More Than Two Million Live in Mobile Homes Mare than two million families are now living in mobile homes trailers. Yoa can buy a stream lined modern dwelling of this type, complete with radiant heating, pic ture windows, indirect lighting, built-in television, automatic wash ing machine, plus three rooms of furniture, for about 16,000 or teas Because approximately 95 per cent of the owners of such homes use them for permanent dwellings the manufactures' organization re cently changed its name from the Trailer Coach Manufacturers As sociation to the Mobile Homes Man ufacturers Association. It seems that most of the buyers seldom travel. They just plant their homes In a trailer park and stay put even removing the wheels and set i: ting up bouse on block*. .

Blower fans distribute heat in win ter and cool air in summer. Fiber glass insulation, double insulated floors and leakproof construction are standard features. You can even have a fireplace in a mobile home. Aluminum sheathes most mobile homes, not only because of its com bined lightness and strength, but also because of its insulating qual ity. This is making aluminum in creasingly popular for roofing per manent houses. Since aluminum reflects up to 95 per cent of the radiant heat of the sun, it is rated as keeping a home as much as 15 degrees cooler in summer. This is especially im portant in connection with air con ditioning. You'd think that aluminum, being such a fast conductor of heat when used for cooking utensils, would get pretty hot under the sun. Fact is, it stays cooler than dark colored roofing. When the un derside of the roof is adequately ventilated, as any roof should be, an aluminum roof really insulates. Proper installation is a must for aluminum roofing. Sheets, wheth er corrugated or in flat panels with V-crimped edges, should be over lapped in the direction of the pre vailing wind. Only aluminum nails, fitted with neophrane washers, should be used. These nails arc not driven in too tightly. They are driven only un til the washer flattens against the nail head and into the hole in the roofing. Copper nails should never be used with aluminum to avoid elec rochemictal action. Frank Nichols, president of the Nichols Wire & Aluminum Co of Davenport, Iowa, tells us that virtually all complaints leveled against early aluminum , roofs were due to misapplication and the lack of modern accessories. Complete and extensively illus trated instructions are provided by manufacturers of aluminum roof ing. About the only way you can go wrong, as with any other build ing materials or equipment, is to fail to read instructions? a habit lots of people indulge in, to their sorrow. Drug Addiction Is Rife Among Jap Students Tokyo (AP) ? A drug which Kamikaze pilots used during World War II to keep from falling asleep on long-range suicide flights has caused a juvenile drug addiction problem in Japan. The Welfare Ministry estimates there now are 1,500,000 addicts of "philopon," the trade name for phenyl dimethyl aminopropane. Af ter the war, university students used the drug to keep awake dur ing examinations after a sleepless night of cramming. Then the addiction spread rapid ly. Three recent murders were committed by youths under the in fluence of the drug. Careless Cyclist Modesto, Calif. (AP) ?

Home Demonstration News Recreation School Will Begin Here This Weekend By MARTHA BARNETT Home Demonstration Agent There will be a Recreation Train ing School in the Scout Building, Pollock street, Beaufort Friday, Saturday and Sunday with Mr. Lon nie Powell of the North Carolina State Recreation Commission con ducting the program. These meetings are sponsored by the Extension Service of Carteret County and are designed to help rural men, women, boys and girls learn to lead recreation in club meetings, church, school and other community gatherings. Home Dem onstration women, their husbands, Senior 4-H Club members and oth er interested persona are being in vited. Folk games, relays, singing games, active games and recreation designed for all ages and many groups will be included in Mr. Pow ell s program. Mr. Powell is em ployed by the North Carolina Rec reation Commission to work with rural recreation and has conduct ed many schools in the state. In 1952, Mr. Powell conducted here a similar school to the one scheduled this week. Those who at tended had a wonderful time as well as receiving many valuable suggestions for leading recreation. We have many beautiful roses grown in Carteret County, but we still find people who ask why can't 1 grow roses? Most of the time the answer is, "You fail to control diseases." Other things are im portant, of course, but controlling diseases is a must. The Pathology Department of N. C. State College recommends Ferbam, sold as Fennate. Apply this material about every ten days, starting when growth starts and con'inuing until frost. It can be applied as a spray (2 level table sponnfuls plus spreader-sticker, ac cording to manufacturer's direc tions, to one gallon of water), or as .a dust cky *OlrJf*T timwoi. iisimnns twnm . whwiu. wmn. -J Palsy (Continued from Page I) first questions they ask an: "Will he get over this? Will he always be this way? Will he improve?" To get an answer to this, many points have to be considered: How severe is his cerebral palsy? Is be under medical care? How about his opportunities for learning ? at home and in school? Is he show ing progress' How does HE feel about his condition? How does his family feel about it? Taking all of this into account, it can be said that large numbers of children who have cerebral pal- 1 sy DO improve. Others do not im prove so much. Still others, not at all. Because of severe mental or physical disability, some may have to have care in an institution for years. In cerebral palsy the best results are gotten when parents, doctors and teachers work hand in hand. A child with cerebral palsy should be under general medical care and have opportunities for ed ucation just as any child should. He does, of course, also need spe cial care and training. Some health and education departments and crippled children's agencies have special services for children with cerebral palsy. Among the things that children are helped to learn in such programs are to walk, bal ance, relax, control hand move ments, talk, drool less and reduce abnormal movements. They also learn many of the thngs other chil dren do at school. Just because your child has cere bral palsy does not always mean that he will not be able to attend school. He might be able to at- i tend a regular class, only needing some special help in that class. He may need to attend a special class, or even have a teacher come to his home. Parents can help a great deal in both the education and physical j training of their child. They should have good guidance though. They i must learn WHEN and HOW to 1 give exercise at home, when to help the child to talk. If this care at home does not go along with the care given and advised in school, or in the clinic, or by the doctor, it may not always be helpful. What else about the home life of a child with cerebral palsy? Just how should he be treated? People who know about the care and treat ment of children with cerebral pal sy will answer this question this way: Always keep in mind that he IS a CHILD ? like most any other child ? except that he has a handicap. What Child Needs He needs everything that ANY child needs. So, as nearly as possi ble, treat him as you would any other child. Let him do what he can. For if you always treat him as a baby ? an invalid ? and do everything for him, things he can learn to do himself, you will only make it worse for him. Encourage him to try new things. It is good for him to be on his own, as much as possible. Let him do EVERY THING that his condition allows. He will be much happier when he does things for himself. En courage him to think and speak and act for himself as much as he can. Help him to grow up in that way. some parents may una uid i ini-ir other children are over protective or resentful of their handicapped brother or sister. If this is so per haps those parents should look closer to their own feelings, since children tend to reflect the atti tudes and behavior of their par ents. As the children see differ ences, they r.ay need help in un derstanding each other. Parents can perhaps help all those who are close to the handicapped child, (brothers and sisters, neighbors, and others), to be honest in recog nizing his strengths and limita tions. If your harfdicapped child has brothers and sisters, let him have his place in the group. Do not kefep him apart ? or shut him away ? from the other children, or from outside life, for that matter. Be ing with other children is good for him and good for them too. He may not always be able to do every thing they do in their play. But just seeing others doing things he wants to do will make him want to try to do them. He will learn a great deal from other children. Be sure and give him that chance. If he is the only child, invite other children in. Let him visit tbem. Sometimes other children? and even their parents ? may need to be told something about cere bral palsy. That will help children understand when he may not be able to do everything they can do. Do not put off starting your plana for him ? his medical care, hi* schooling, hi* being witli other people, especially children of his age. Some parents find it aaay to delay. They say, "He is too young. He is not ready right now." As time goes by, he will be even less ready. Then he may want to hold back. He will be older, know more, and It may seem strange to him. So get him started as you would any other child. There may be other children with cerebral palsy in your com munity. Or, there may be children otherwise crippled. lUke it a point to get to know their parents. All of you will profit Maybe they have solved a problem tat the care of their children that faces YOU. YOUR talks with them will help yon In your own problems. You may find that already your community has started aoae ser vices for cerebral palsy children, fietfc ad?ko from agenciee m ?wmw tm mum* i* tome conuntiniuet, parents and jther lay ctttaena have formed clubs and snmrtliwia belong to na tiooal organisations that give spe cial attention to the needa of chil dren with cerebral palsy. II your state or community haa been unable to provide the services your child needa, perhaps you can help in getting them started. In doing this some parents have work ed to strengthen the general health and education programa for all children and for all types of handi capped children. They have Work ed to help strengthen ALL crip pled children's services, not only those for the child with cerebral palsy. In the past the picture of cerebral palsy was dark. Cerebral palsy was looked upon as hopeless. That is not any longer true. Each month now, somewhere in the country, new services are being started. And services already of fered are being improved. The years ahead look much brighter. Four Drivers of This Area Lose Licenses Four drivers of this area have had their licenses suspended, ac cording to the State Highway Safety Division at Raleigh.
