WITH THE 4-WERS By HARR* VENTERS 4 H AS visor Wildlife Conservation ii one of the most popular 4-H projects here in the county, and rightly so We are located in one of the most popular fishing and hunting areas of the state, and boys grow up realizing the importance of im proving our natural wildlife re sources. There are 11 different units that make up the Wildlife Conserva tion Project. The requirements of the first two units and any one of the other nine units must be fulfilled to successfully complete the project. Unit I deals with habitat im provement. There are three parts to this unit, planting field borders with bicolor and sericoa lespedeza. planting fence rows with multi flora rose to furnish cover, and alternate cutting of ditchbanks so that all cover is not destroyed In one year. Unit II deals with planting wild life food patches. This may be les pedeza or some other legume such as elover or soybeans. In many instances where tobacco beds are located in the woods, they can be planted to soybeans for deer to graze after the plants have been pulled instead of allowing them to grow up in weeds. The other nine unit6 of the Wild life Conservation project, one of which must be completed, includes fish pond production and manage ment, erecting nesting boxes and perches, photographing wildlife and wildlife homes, and others. Anyone interested in Wildlife Conservation can get information and help from several sources. The county ASC office will tell you how wilAife conservation can fit into your soil bank plans. All of the agricultural agencies, in cluding the SCS, farm agents, or vocational agriculture teachers will I furnish you with information and applications for planting stock. The Wildlife Resources Com mission will furnish free bicolor lespedeza stock, sericea lespedeza j seed, annual lespedeza seed and] mulliflora rose seedlings for wild life conservation purposes. 1 am pleased that so many boys are interested in wildlife conser vation. There is a place for it on every farm. The value of wildlife, especially birds, is hard to calcu late but we know that there are many benefits. The numbers of insects and weed seeds they eat is amazing, and every one they eat is one you won't have to poison. The Carteret County 4-H Coun cil, composed of officers of the seventeen 4-H Clubs in the county will meet tomorrow morning, Jan. 18, at 9:30 in the home agent's of fice, Beaufort. Paul Wade, 4-H Council presi dent, will preside. Business to be discussed by the council includes nominations from this county for district 4-H Officers, plans for county observance of National 4-H Club Week, discussion of county demonstration program, and plans for county-wide winter recreation. I hope that all officers will come and represent their clubs. 1 rea lize that this is not possible with out the cooperation of parents and leaders, so, please, won't you do your part? Food Store Executive Views Prospects in 1958 | American consumers had another banner food year in 1957, eating better than ever before, because of improvements all along the line in the handling of merchandise from the farm to the home. The outlook for 19H, in the opin-1 ion of Ralph W. Burger, president of the Great Atlantic 4 Pacific Tea Ca., la far continued high produc tion. continued increase hi the de velopment and use of convenience foods, and further improvements in stores and service, but with in creased emphasis on price. Mr. Burger said that while con sumers' expendable income should remain high in the coming year, continued high living costs will csuse the economywise housewife to keep a sharper eye on the 25 per cent of the average family budget that goes for food. "Because labor, transportation and the production cost of food at the farm level continued to in crease," the AltP executive said, "the food industry will have to seek new economies in distribution in order to pass savings along to customers." Production Prospects From the consumer's point of view, government reports indicate that production of.pork and chicken should increase slightly in IMS; small reductions are in prospect for baef and vesl; and other major food groups should remain about the same, he said. "We may expect the trend to ward increased consumption of pre packaged meats and produce, fro sea foods of all varieties, baking mixes and soluble coffee to con tinue," he added. "The demand for cannod foods also will remain strong because of their uniform quality, value and storage con-1 venience. "While the American housewife I will continue to buy convenience | foods and built-in maid service dur ing the coming year, she will do so only in direct proportion to the ability of the industry to produce these goods at a price she feels the family budget can afford. "fn other words, the convenience food manufacturers and processors will have to retain quality while seeking new efficiencies that will be reflected in lower prices if they are to expect continued ex pansion during the coming year. "The opening of new stores con tinues largely as a result of the population shift to suburban areas. These new stores generally are larger than tbe retail outlets they replace." Wage Costs Among the factors causing in creased marketing and production! coats Mr. Burger cited wages and | transportation?which together ac count for more than SO per cent of the increase?along with a general rise in all the things that market ing firms use, including fuel, con tainers and packaging materials, machinery and rents. This applies not only to the pro cessor, manufacturer and the dis tributor but causes hardships at the production level, he said, be cause the farmer also is confront ed with steadily increasing costs, particularly in the areas of farm labor and machinery. "In view of these rising market-1 ing coats and indications of an tn creased price-consciousness among consumers during 1958, the indus try must seek economies in the areas where they are available," Mr. Burger warned. "Saving* ore possible in ware housing through the development | of better equipment that lends it self to automatic processes. Other savings can be sought by stream lining ordering and delivery me thods. The greatest potential for savings lies in the pre-packaging of food at the point of production, a practice that greatly reduces freight and handling costs and cuts to a minimum the costly spoilage which is a big part of distribution expense." 25 from County Will Go To Schools Mooting Today Approximately 25 persons from the county will attend the Citizens for Better Schools conference to day at East Carolina College, Greenville.

Us flight, when unmolested, has been figured at 94 miles per hour. When frightened, the speed ster adds several miles per hour to that figure. The release continued, "It will not be too surprising to exper ienced sportsmen to learn that, when molested, the dove flies slow er than many other game girds. But to others, not so experienced, he appears to be a gray speed ball. "Probably the fastest game bird we have," he continued, "is the canvasback duck, which accord ing to researcher's records is fast er than the blue-wing teal by a narrow margin. "Here are some figures on the flight speed of unmolested game birds. These are computed as an average from the findings of a number of researchers. I would not say that they are exactly cor rect, but they constitute the best information we have to date on the subject. "Dove and plover, 34 m.p.h.; curlew, 38 m.p.h.; quail, prairie chicken, ruffed grouse, jacksnipe, mallard, black duck, spoonbill, pin tail, wood duck, widgeon and gad wall, 41 m.p.h.; green-wing teal, 79 m.p.h.; redhead, 82 m.p.h.; blue-wing teal, 89 m.p.h.; canvas back, 94 m.p.h." Clothing Trend May Lead Men To Clear Suits Men may be going around soon in transparent suits and chiffon shirts if the present trend toward light-weight clothing continues, ac cording to members of the Inter national Association of Clothing De signers. The average man has shed about 15 pounds in clothing weight since the turn of the century, says Carl A. Forney, president of the asso ciation, who points out: "When the breadwinner of 1900 ran for the morning trolley, he for tified himself against the cold with long underwear, heavy suit, waist coat, leaden-weight overcoat, muf fler, gloves, bowler hat and some times spats or leggings. ? "The aim in clothing design to day is light-weight clothing with out heavy padding and excess lin ings, to give freedom of movement and avoid bulk. Today we go to work in heated cars or trains, spend the business day in scientifi cally heated offices and live in homes where the temperature is kept constant, summer and winter." Grandpa's suit was made of woolen fabric so heavy it could al most stand alone, but the modern man wears feather weight suitings which are tailored to the natural lines of his body and don't hamper his movements. For the age of space travel* ahead, say the clothing designers, men may have transparent, weight less clothing which never gets soil ed and never needs pressing.

Actress Receives Interest in Show New York (AP)~ A performer doesn't always have to act in a Broadway hit to share its finan cial success.
