County Fair Premium
Books Are off Press
my nuTBA nunirr
Hhk A|nI
Carteret County Fair books are
off the press. Rules for Home
Demonstration, 4-H, school booths
and individual exhibits are includ
ed. There is a limited supply of
these books in the home agent's of
fice. Anyone who has not re
ceived one by mail, and wants one
may get one from the home
agent's office.
This fair offers an excellent op
portunity for 4-H members and
Home Demonstration women to ex
hibit their best products and win
worthwhile prizev If each Home
Demonstration member would en
ter one exhibit, the fair would be
bigger and better than ever.
Every club member should read
'Tomorrow" by Philip Wylie. This
is a book which, although fiction,
gives many facts concerning what
might happen to every town in
America if it were attacked by
atomic weapons. Thia book also
tells what might happen to the
rest of the world if any country
should use weapons known to ex
ist.
There would be no time to be
come prepared or organize after
an attack. Each club member
should appoint themselves to see
the local civil defense director and
find out what can be done to be
prepared.
Farms, although somewhat iso
lated would be affected by loss
of power and radiation.
According to Raymond Thomp
son, Farm Editor of the Baltimore
Evening Sun. even the cow has a
stake in civil defense. On the
farm, she depends on power - oper
ated wells for water to quench her
thirst, on electrically driven ma
chines to milk her, and on "three
squares" daily to keep up her
health and production.
But she would be virtually help
less if an enemy attack blasted gen
erating equipment, hydraulic dams,
power lines, and food supply high
ways. This would be so even if
bombs were dropped on a city a
couple of miles away ? or 100
miles away. Few people have given
this serious thought.
Here are some other things that
could happen, if atomic or bacter
iological wars should occur: com
munication would be knocked out,
labor shortages would threaten

being prepared for civil defense
Local civil defense directors will
give suggestions in regard to what
may be done. This is another op
portunity for real service.
We never have a month of Home
Demonstration Club meetings
without some member saying. "Our
collect has a beautiful meaning.''
Most of us know thi scollect. but
few know the story behind it. Here
are both the collect and the story.
Collect of Club Women of America
Keep us, O God, from pettiness;
let us be large in thought, in word,
in deed,
Let us be done with fault finding
and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense
and meet each other face to face
without self pity and without pre
judice.
May we never be hasty in judg
ment and always generous.
Teach us to put into action our
better impulses, straightforward
and unafraid.
Let us take time for all things,
make us grow calm, serene and
gentle. .
Grant that we may realize it is
the little things that create differ
ences, that in the big hings of life
we are as one.
And may we strive to touch and
to know the great common human
heart of us all. And O Lord, let us
forget not to b? kind.
? Miss Mar Ktewart, Colorado
The Collect of Club Women of
America was written in 1904 by
Mary Stewart a few years after she
graduated from the University of
Colorado and while she was prin
cipal of the I.ongmont High School,
Longmont, Col.
It was written as a prayer for the
day and called the Collect for Club
Women because she felt that wo
men working together in wide in
terest for larfe ends was a new
ttihur ?nd?r the ran md ttitt par
haps they had need for special pe
tition of their own.
Miss Stewart dedicated this pray
er for strength and guidance to
the Associated Country Women of
the World. This beautiful pray
er is not only used by Home Dem
onstration Clubs throughout the
United States, but it ia the official
prayer for clubs in Canada and
Great Britain and for the Asso
ciated Country Women of the
World.
The collect must have been a
source of inspiration for her be
cause her life was ofte of service
and devotion. According to Mary
Cotton Davenport, past president of
the North Carolina Federation of
Home Demonstration Clubs, "When
Mary Stewart, in the early 1900's,
was Dean of Women at the Univer
sity of Montana and teacher of
English and Latin, she became asso
ciated with the National Federa
tion of Women's Clubs. She took
M active part In the early sfrug
fle for women's suffrage as well
is equal rights for women in ed
ucational institutions. In 1819 she
helped organize the National Bus
iness and Professional Women's
Club and also served on the Na
tional Board of that organisation.
"In 1028, Miss Stewart was em
ployed as Assistant Director Gen
eral of the Employment Bureau
in the Department of Labor and as
Assistant Director of Education of
Indian Affairs in the Department
of the Interior. Shortly before her
death, she retired, and went to her
home in Ohio.
"Woman's horizons are widening
and her field of service is now as
large as the Universe. Regardless
of that change, Mary Stewart's Col
lect will always have It* own place
In the great common human heart."

CP&L Increases
Rural Service
In This County 1,582
Customers Served
In Rural Areas
N?jrlv 5.000 more rural cut
tomers are netting electricity on
the rural lines of Carolina Power
& Light Co. today than were served
a year ago, according to G. B.
Stovall, of Morehead City, local
manager for the company.
A survey of farm electrification
showed that there are 141. 594 cus
tomers on 18.153 miles of CPfcL
rural line. This figure compares
with 41.699 customers on 6,530
miles of rural line at the end of
World War II.
In Carteret County, 1.582 cu?
tomers are getting electric service
on 109.52 miles of CP&L rural dis
tribution line.
The latest total CP&L figures
compare with just 1.082 customers
on rural lines in 1928, when the
company undertook a special pro
gram to extend service into rural
areas.
Greatest extension of rural ser
vice, Mr. Stovall said, occurred In
the post-war years of 1947, 1948,
and 1949, when CP&L added more
than .5,000 miles of rural line de
spite the critical shortage of ma
terials that followed the war.
With a near saturation of rural
areas on the CP&L system, Mr.
Stovall added, the need has been
reduced; but many miles still are
being added as the demand arises.
He said notable gains have been
made in the eastern district,' %'hich
now serves 18,952 customers on
2,092.64 miles of rural line.
Auxiliary Adopts
Constitution
At the recent meeting of the Sea
Level Hospital Auxiliary in the
Davis Community Building mem
bers adopted their constitution.
It was reported that the recent
clambake for benefit of the the
building fund of the proposed
nurses' home netted $275.
The auxiliary made plans for a
Halloween masquerade dance at
the Atlantic School gym Saturday
night, Oct. 23. No one will be ad
mitted to the affair unless he is
wearing a mask.
Twenty receptionists, to work at
the hospital during October visit
ing hours, were appointed. The
auxiliary decided that all patients
who have been in the hospital
at least 24 hours during the past
year shall be sent Christmas card
in December.
The library in the hospital, for
the benefit of patients, is now in
operation, supervised by the aux
iliary.
Mrs. Herbert F. Webb, presi
dent of the auxiliary, conducted the
meeting.
Leon Mann Jr. Hears More
About Mosquito Traps
If the mosquito plague continues, t
electric musuuito traps ma> be the
only solution
Leon Mann Jr., Newport, who
has been inquiring about the traps,
recently received another letter
from the manufacturer giving fur
ther Information.
The manufacturer, a firm in
Caldwell, N. J . says that one trap
will cover from one to four miles,
depending on terrain and the spe
cies of mosquito. Fewer traps could
be used by moving them from
time to time, it is suggested
Mr. Mann has been .requested to
send a map of the land area
showing the breeding places of the
mosquitoes. If an order is placed
with the firm, instructions are sent
o the persons or municipality plac
ing the order, on how to ship mos
quitoes or larvae to the company
Prom those specimens the proper
sounds to be played by the mos- |
quijo trap and the proper time for | ,
operation of the traps are deter
?lid.
The manufacturer concludes with
The operational cost of these traps
is a few cents per hour and very
little maintenance is required "
Since Hurricane Edna, mosqui '
toes have been unusually thick i
here. Old-timers say. "The storm I
blew them out of the swamps." <
Spraying of DDT has taken place
down-east under supervision of the
Sea Level Chamber of Commerce. J
It was started early in the summer :

and was reported to have been ef
fective.
Dr. Morton Kahn of Cornell Uni
versity has invented an electric
trap which plays the "song" of the
mosquito. Mosquitoes are attracted
by the sound to the trap and get
electrocuted. It Is that device in
which Mr. Mann is interested.
Prices quoted on the traps are
SI. 2(10 for the "domestic typt" and
51,400 for the tropical type.
