One of their projects was the study of Civil Defense. Highlight of the program was construction of a model house. The , Urge model, about 4 by 6 feet, was constructed with the thought of accommodating a family of five. It was completely furnished, in cluding one room without windows which would be used by the fam ily in case of radioactive fallout in the area. In this room was the emergency food supply and other items necessary to maintain family existence for several days. The children worked out the amount of food needed to feed the family for that length of time and | then made model containers to represent the food and water. The pupils spent only fl.33 in actual cash to construct their model. They used lumber scraps, scrap shingle siding,, cardboard, and balsa wood. The girls did the furnishing of the house, braiding tiny rugs and carrying out other decorations. They got scraps of material from Mrs. David Bev eridgc, teacher in the home eco nomic* department. > Some of the house furnishing! I were built to scale. In addition to the house project, I the pupils wrote essays on civil I defense and studied material pub I lished by the U. S. Government I as well ss newspaper and nuga I line uUcIca. 4 Miss Ruth Peeling, county civil defense director, visited the group Wednesday morning and showed a film strip on civil defense. She also spoke to the pupil* in Novem ber when they started their pro ject.

Telephone Firm Official Speaks Here Saturday Telephone growth in North Car olina has been on the upgrade for the past 13 years, according to L. W Hill, president of the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Co. Mr. Hill, speaking before 100 members and guests of the Pio neers Club of the company Satur day morning at the recreation building, Morehead City, said, "In 1943 there were 44,000 telephones in operation in the state and to- 1 day there are 137,000 telephone users."

The company is steadily improving con ditions to benefit employees. Mr. Hill remarked that the com pany ranked ninth in the nation in 1943 among the states that have independent telephone companies, and today ranks fifth. The rank ing is based on total operating revenues. Concluding his talk, Mr. Hill commented that eastern North Carolina is just in its infancy, and that any locale which has the greatest agricultural area in the world, coupled with more and more industry, couldn't help but grow.
