Firm Receives
? Safety Award
The Carteret Ice and Coal Co ,
Morebead City, has received a
? safety award from the Depart
- meat of Labor in Raleigh for its
outstanding work in accident pre
vention during 1954.
Frank Crane, labor commission
er, in his letter to L. D. Gore, pres
ldeot of the company, stated that
not all of fhe benefits of the salety
. work would ever be known.
He said prevention of accidents
curtails economic waste, alleviates
human misery and suffering, and
the plant is a better place to work
as a result of the successful acci
dent prevention work.
Except in 1952, when a minor
accident occurred, Carteret Ice
and Coal has won a safety award
every year since 1946.

In New York Some Folks
'Buy' Their Apartment
By DAVID G. BAREUTHBR
Everyone who buys a new home
does not buy a house some buy
an apartment in a cooperatively
owned building, oi course, they
do not actually own the apartment
they occupy. They own stock in a
corporation which owns tie build
ing. This entitles them to occupy
and maintain their apartment so
it amounts to about the some as
owning the rooms.
However, lots of people would
rather establish their homes in or
near the heart of a crowded city,
where they can be within walking
distance or a short taxi ride from
their jobs, than travel a long dis
tance for the pleasures of lawn
mowing, snow shovelling and fall
ing off painters' ladders.
So the other day we took a look
at how the other half lives, visit
ing a swank new cooperative pro
ject on New York's Fifth Avenue,
directly oppdsite the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. We found a very
fine apartment that compares fav
orably in space with a nice house
in the country 7 rooms, 3 baths,
extra lavatory and a private porch
in the form of a roof terrace over
looking Central Park.
The price for this apartment is
$26,325 and the estimated total
annual charge, including mainte
nance and other fixed expenses, is
$5,872.50.
Now of course you can find co
operative apartments for much less
money. In the past 10 years many
cooperative apartment buildings
were erected for the average man
with the aid of subsidies or FHA
assistance. In each case the advan
tages of real estate tax deductions
on your income tax return were
stressed.
So in this luxury building, where
income taxes are no joke for the
apartment dwellers, the salesmen
point out that if you are in the 50
per cent tax bracket (if, he says)
your deduction for real estate
taxes will amount to $1,822.50
yearly, which leaves you only $337.
SO for an actual monthly charge
to live there.
But luxury certainly haa changed
it* meaning in the past generation
Back in the 1830s, before the ltt
room apartment had been invented,
7-room apartment! were ordinary
Sometimes you had to enter
through the dining room and apol
ogize to the sauerkraut and pig
knuckles fans (or inspecting their
quarters at that hour ? but John
Markle, the coal man, was then
living in a 40-room Fifth Avenue
apartment, all alone? except (or
14 servants.
We remember having printed an
item in the early 1930s when docu
ments in the county clerk's o((ice
showed that a (amous banker paid
$350,000 (or his cooperative a (tart
ment. Although thr price had be
come a matter of public record, he
was (urious when he read the item
and called up to ask if we didn't
know men were selling apples on
the street.
AWT Arthur BiWBIkrt!', (he fa
mous editor and real estate specu
lator, had 32 rooms on the top two
doors o( another Fifth Avenue
building. His living room was 60
(eet long, 30 feet wide and two
stories high, with fireplaces at
each end big enough to barbecue
a Texas steer whole in each one
of them, but Brisbane never was
that informal.
The biggest apartment we ever
saw was that of Mrs. Marjorie Post
Close Hutton (later Davies)? total
ing 66 rooms She was so much in
love with the Hutton mansion on
upper Fifth Ave. that she couldn't
bear the thought of losing it when
skyrocketing taxes dictated the con
struction of an apartment house.
So she had the entire mansion re
produced, exact to every detail, on
the top three floors of the new
building.
What became of such luxury
homes? Times changed. And archi
tects had many a headache trying
to cut such apartments down to
size.

Chief Announces
Gift of Air Horns
To Fire Department
B. T. Smith Jr., Newport fir*
chief, announced today the Sou
thern Railway is making a gift of
two air horns to the fire depart
ment.
Permission has been obtained
from Moses Howard to mount the
horns on his parage and use air
from his air compressor.
For some time there has been
difficulty in hearing the fire siren
in the western section of town. At
times the wind would be blowing
in such a way that the noise would
carry far. At other times firemen
in that end of town could not hear
the alarm.
The telephone company's district
manager haa promised cooperation
in hooking up a line, and Ed Car
raway, electrician, is working on
a relay so that when the fire siren
goes off at the fire station the air
horns will blow at the garage.
An additional optional feature
would be a manual blowing valve
so that the horns could be used
for emergencies other than fire.
Chief Smith added that the horna
were by far the most expenaive
item in the project and had it not
been for the Southern's gift, the
whole idea would have had to be
discarded.

By ROBERT SCHMIDT
Every garden plant seems to
have its special pest and some of
them have more than their (hare
of pests. It ii not possible to give
specific control information in a
short column such as this, but cer
tain principles of control may be
emphasised. More effective spray
materials are being developed each
year "but spray materials and labor
are expensive and unless used
properly and intelligently may be
a waste of time and money.
Organic gardeners to the con
trary, we are going to have to Spray
our garden crops if we expect to
control most insect and disease
pests. In order to carry on a suc
cessful spray program we must
first know or determine what pest
we are trying to control. Is it a
disease? Is it a chewing insect
like-a bean beetle? -Or sucking
insect like an aphid? And what
sort of damage does it do?
Second, we should know what
spray material to use to control
the pest and how to ap^ly ft to be
effective. For example, it would
require a fungicide to control plant
diseases and this ipray would have
no effect on Inspects Insect sprays
would not control diseases. A spray
that will control aphlds may not
control bean beetlea or cucumber
beetles. It Is often necessary to
know how and where to apply the
spray.
For example, the Mexican bean
beetle feeds mottly on the under
side of the leaf; therefore, the
spray must be directed against the
underside of the leaf in order to
effectively control it. In order to
control aphida the sprays must be
applied directly on the insect.
Third, the spray must be applied
at the right time. This is very im
portant especially for the control
of plant diseases as well as certain
insects. A day too late with the
spray may mean failure to control
the pest.
Fourth, do a thorough Job. Good
coverage is necessary for effective
control. There are many combina
tion spray materials on the mar
ket; that la, materials that will con
trol several different pests, both
Inaacts and diseaaes.
These are effective for the con
trol at many peats but are usually
rather expensive because while you
may be applying the spray for a
single peat you are using several
unnecessary materials. Your coun
ty agent can help you identify the
peats that are giving you trouble
and can furnish Information for
contrela. Or you may obtain bulle
tins from the N. C. Agr Extension'

Do . . keep the soldering iron

hot enough to melt the solder but
never so hot that it gets red.
Do . . . hold the iron against the
underside of the splice, holding
the solder against the topside . . .
and move the iron slowly back and
forth as soon as the solder begins
to melt.
Do . . . before every new job,
"tin" the iron, which consists of
filing the faces of the tip lightly.
Woman Driver Sees Drive
Disappear Before Her Eye
Detroit (AP)? A driveway that
vanished after she backed her car
over it gave Mrs. Jesse J. Brewer
of suburban St. Clair Shores the
surprise of her life.
"It sank slowly," she said, "and
didn't stop until a section 20 feet
long and 10 feet wide had dropped
about six feet."
The driveway is over the city's
main sewer interceptor. It was a
cave-in.
Farmers around Phoenix, Ariz.,
boast that they grow 740 water
melons to the acre ? three times
the national average.

of using strip solder, which is

Adhesive Hooks
Aid in Lid Storing
Storing lids and pans in orderly
fashion, so the right lid can be
matched to the proper pan quickly,
is a problem in aome old-fashioned
kitchens. Modern storage facilities
seldom are provided in such kitch
ens even though a pantry may be
attached to the room.
There is an easy way to devise
yotir own pan and lid hanging fa
cilities which is particularly adapt
able to a wall in a small pantry
Colorful plastic two-prong hooks,
the self-adhering kind can be
stuck to a wall so that each sup
ports a lid on the top prong and
a pan on the bottom one.
Each hook holds up to 15 pounds
and requires no nails, screws, or
tools to put up. The plastic hooks
actually fasten to the wall by
means of their own patented adhe
sive-coated wood backing.
