Mr. Willis became eligible for the drawing when he donated a dollar to the Jaycee Christmas fund. Winners?And A Loser Columbus, Ohio (AP) _ Vice squadmen who played the horses ?rh?rCk,'? 8et CVidcncc aga>nst a bookie did pretty well. Patrol men Francis T. Nolan and Robert Wolvcrton picked three winners However their winnings had to be^ turned in _ along with the Why Not Sell Eggs by Pound? If eggs were sold by the pound the producer and the purchaser would always get the same value ? quality being equal, according to Tom Morris, poultry specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service. The value of a pound of grade A eggs would be constant; size would mean nothing. Consumers could compare the various sizes and buy the size that gives them the best value for their money if eggs were sold by the pound. If the housewife compares the cost of a dozen eggs with a pound of other protein food, eggs may seem a little high. On the other hand, if eggs were sold by the pound, she would sec that they are the best buy on today's market. For example, take large eggs selling for 60 cents a dozen. If they were sold by weight, then she should see that large eggs were only 40 cents a pound. Large eggs weigh IV*. pounds per dozen. The weights for other sizes of eggs vary from about one pound to two pounds per dozen. During the summer and fall, a large number of pullets will be coming into production; and they will be laying small to medium eggs for about the first two months of lay. These small or medium eggs may be the best buy if they were to be sold on a pound basis. Small eggs may sell from five to 10 cents a pound under large eggs. For example, during the early summer this year, small eggs In some Uorea were retailing for 30 cents a dozen or 27 cents a pound; and large eggs for 53 cents a dozen or 35 cents a pound. This would be a saving of eight cents a pound in favor of the small eggs and would make them the best buy. If some eggs sold for 39 cents a dozen, the price per pound would be the same as for large eggs sell ing at 53 cents a dozen. Because of the compactness and thoroughness with which their food values are digested and nearly completely absorbed, and the low cost per pound, eggs are bargains in food value at any time of the year, says Mr. Morris. But small eggs are usually an extra good buy during the summer and fall. Jaycees Have Trouble Buying Back Grid Ducats The Morehcad City Jaycces may have more trouble buying back sea son football tickets than they had selling them. Anyone holding a sea son ticket can redeem it this week by going to Hill's or the Jerry J. Willis Agency. When THE NEWS TIMES went to press yesterday no one had taken advantage of the of fer. The Jaycees sold season tickets, good for six home games for J5. The More'head City Eagles played only three of their scheduled home games. The Jaycees are redeem ing the tickets for a maximum of $2.50 each. Doctor Explains Strokes, Effect, Their Treatment Chapel Hill, N. C.?Strokes do not always incapacitate a person, nor are they confined to older peo ple, according to Dr. John Hickam of Duke, president of the North Carolina Heart Association. "Prompt treatment hastens the recovery of a stroke victim of any age," said Dr. Hickam, "and of those seriously affected. 90 per cent can be taught to walk again and 30 per cent can be taught to do gainful work." Physicians refer to strokes as "cerebral vascular accidents". Dr. Hickam explained. Such accidents occur when an artery'to a portion of the brain ruptures or is closed suddenly. There are several ways in which this can happen: through hemorrhage: through the forma tion of a clot in an artery of the brain or through a clot formed elsewhere in the body being pumped to the brain and becoming lodged in an artery there; through pressure of swollen brain tissue; or through a spasm of one of the arteries in the brain. Among the causes of these acci dents are congenital defects of brain arteries, physical injury, in fections of the blood vessels or general infections, blood diseases, heart diseases, hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure. Strokes in young people are most frequently caused by rupture of a defective blood vessel which developed before birth. Also, young people who have had rheumatic heart disease or a bacterial infec tion of the lining of the heart may form small clots in their hearts, which arc pumped into a blood vessel in the brain, causing block age. Strokes Vary "Strokes may be mild or quite severe," Dr. Hickam pointed out. "Effects may range from slight paralysis and difficulty in speak ing to unconsciousness and death. When the damage is slight, symp toms can clear up rather quickly. In most cases, the patient docs not die, and if he survives the ini tial attack and has no recurrences, his life expectancy is often as great as that of persons of the same age who have not had strokes." In past years, there was little that doctors could do for patients who had strokes, but today there are several methods of treatment which can be used to help patients immediately after a stroke. Not the least important, according to Dr. Hickam, is an encouraging and hopeful attitude on the part of the physician and family. For the seriously stricken, good nursing care is necessary. If pos sible, the family should help with the patient's physical needs, al ways encouraging him to do as much as he comfortably can for himself. Where paralysis of an arm or leg has occurred, massage and assisted movements of the limb are a part of modern treatment. Speech Training Gradually, the patient is encour aged to sit up, then to stand, and finally to walk. Where speech is affected, the services of a speech therapist may be required to help retrain the patient and this is very important, for the patient who can not communicate with others is apt to feel particularly helpless and depressed about his condition "It is never too late to attempt rehabilitation," said Dr. Hickam. "Even patients who have been disabled for months or years as a result of strokes can often be helped?at least to get about and care for most of their physical needs. Some can even be taught to do gainful work. "Modern medicine is constantly developing new techniques to treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels as well as to help people get over the effects of these di seases. We still don't know what causes strokes and other cardio vascular disorders, but research is finding out more about these great killers, and we know that we re getting closer to the answers all the time." Dr. Hickam pointed out that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to heart and blood ves sel research through the Heart Fund, whose annual drive takes place in February. "The North Carolina Heart As sociation and its local chapters are making available to the public a pamphlet called Strokes', pub i Vi* U S frepsrtment of Health, Education and Welfare" said Dr. Hickam. "This pamphlet contains helpful information for families of stroke victims Single copies arc avail able free of charge from local w,k *"<?1,,tion? or from the Mm 0,rt Association.

Hartford discovered Miss Brooks at a small suburban London thea tre where she has been acting for a year and a half. What Soil pH' Means By M. E. GARDNER The question is frequently asked: what do we mean when we speak of soil pH? Simply stated, it refers to the relative acidity (sourness) or alkalinity (sweetness) of the soil. The pH of the soil directly affects the growth of all plants and this is the reason lime is need ed for som/L- and not for others. If we apply a set of values to the pH range, from 4 to 10, we can state the ranges as follows: 4 to 5.5, strongly acid; 5.5 to 6.5, slightly acid; 6.5 to 7.5 neutral; and above 7.5 alkaline. It is common knowledge that the azalea and the camellia require acid soils with the azalea being more tolerant of acid conditions than the camellia. Applying the scale already given, the azalea would fall in the range between 4 8 and 5.7 and the camellia between 5.0 and 6.0. This is getting a little technical, but it illustrates my point. Since the ranges are not signifi cantly different, both plants arc usually grown in the same gen eral area. On the other side of the picture | we find that legumes, such as al falfa and sweet clover, require a pH range of from 6.5 to 7.5. Spin ach, often used as a test plant, 6.3 to 7.3; gardenia, the same as camellia; cabbage, 6.0 to 7.0; to mato, 5.3 to 6.3; Irish potato. 5.0 to 5.7; sweet corn, 5 5 to 6 7; and so on down the line of planls. Lime is used to sweeten soils and sulphur and aluminum sulfate to make them more acid. However, you should never attempt to amend your soils until you first have them tested. The test will not only determine | the pll but also organic matter content and the essential available nutrient elements such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potash. Your county agent, vocational teacher or the Soil Conservation Service in your county will be glad to help you. Some of them can run a quick test for pH, but for com plete analysis, the samples should be properly collected and sent to the Soil Testing Laboratory. State Department of Agriculture, Ra leigh, N. C. Sample boxes arc available in the county agent's of fice with complete instructions for collecting and mailing. No Driver to Get New Car License Without Insurance New requirements for license plates in North Carolina will go into effect, beginning January 1958 Drivers will be required to sub mit along with their applications, a certificate (Form FS-1) showing that they have automobile liability insurance or are in compliance with the 1957 Vehicle Financial Responsibility Act. North Carolinians are also re quired by law to pay a driver's education fee of $1 towards the high school driving program. Likewise, applicants must spcci fy the county in which their vehi cle is subject to tax. Under a law passed by the 1957 General Assembly, car owners will not receive license plates unless they can show Form FS-1. All insurance companies in North Carolina will mail these certifi cates to policy holders prior to Jan. 1, 1958. Required is an owner's policy of automobile liability insurance. This provides insurance for damages to persons or property caused by the subject's motor vehicle. It is not sufficient to have col lision and comprehensive insur ance which only covers damage to one's own vehicle. The minimum amount is $5,000 $10,000 bodily injury liability and $5,000 properly damage liability. This insurance can be obtained through insurance companies or a licensed North Carolina insurance agent. If an individual allows his in surance to lapse, the law states that he must immediately surren der his license plates to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles. Vehicles may not be operated after Feb. 15, 1958, without the '58 plates attached. According to the law anyone who operates a motor vehicle or permits anyone else to drive it without the prescribed insurance will be subject to prosecution in court. The law also declares that falsi fication of any documents in con nection with this law, subjects one to severe penalties. Cargill, Grain Firm, Sees Record Volume During '57 Minneapolis?Record volume and coast-to-coast expansion of handl ing, processing and warehousing facilities marked the 1957 activi ties of Cargill, Incorporated, pio neer grain firm with headquarters here. During the year, the 93 year-old firm, which operates a grain-load ing unit at the Morehead City port, reported an all-time high of over a billion dollars in sales and more than 14,000,000 tons of agricultural commodities handled. "Cargill's profit margin," said Cargill MacMillan, president, "was within the one per cent level we believe to be best for the success of our program of better service to agriculture through greater volume and lower margins." "Cargill's grain volume for the crop year ending May 31 may well exceed half a billion bushels," MacMillan said. "We and other grain firms can do a much bigger and better job, however, only if the government's Commodity Credit I Corporation will take the long needed steps to permit more free dom and competition among the private trade." Expansion Reported Expansion by the company's grain division, which now includes 45 terminal and sub-terminal ele vators on all coasts and in the in terior, and 55 country elevators in the mid West and South, was re ported as follows: Completion of a 2,100.000-bushel export elevator at Norfolk,' Va.; completion, at Sacramento, Cal ifornia's largest grain storage tanks raising that installation's to tal capacity to 875,000 bushels; completion of a 1,300,000-bushel addition to present facilities at Maumee, Ohio; leasing of a 1,000, 000-bushel elevator at Plainview, Tex., in the center of the nation's leading grain sorghum producing area; leasing of a 320,000-bushel elevator in Perry, Ga., to serve North Georgia's growing poultry industry and start of construction on an all-steel grain storage unit to hold 1,500,000 bushels at Fort Worth, Tex Cargill's oil division, now the nation's largest vegetable oil pro cessor, completed and began op eration of an ultra-modern soy bean oil and meal plant at Mem phis, Tenn. The company's ninth, it increased total production capa city 30 per cent and helped enable Cargill this year to consume 35. 000,000 bushels of soybeans and j flaxseed providing a market for j roughly 2.5 million acres of far mers' crops. I.and Purchase Nutrena Mills, Inc., the com pany's animal feeds division, pur chased land for an 840-acre re-j search farm near Elk River, Minn. Construction of initial buildings is nearing completion and final plans ! include provision for touring edu-1 cational groups to view feeding experiments on poultry, swine,' cattle, sheep and other animals. Cargill's research department, serving all divisions of the com pany, completed and occupied a new research and engineering j building adjacent to the firm's su- j burban headquarters office. Most significant of the new pro-! ducts derived from the company's stepped-up research program is Polyurethane 102, a paint and var nish vehicle providing extreme hardness, flexibility and impact resistance on wood, metal and other surfaces. Based on a com bination of resin and vegetable oil, it is the latest of Cargill's out put of "creatively processed" farm products. i /Insurance fllutu&l Agency f IRST-CITI/INS SANK UUILOIMO MOREHEAD CITY KEEP EMBERS FROM TIMBERS] USE A METAL CARREL OR CONTAIN ER FOR ASHES-ALWAYS/ WOOPEN CONTAINERS ARE A FIRE HAZARP.
