MARCH NAMED EGG MONTH
AeaordHj* to FiMt Prgttitt of
MU Creek, March Eg* Month
Chairman for Yancey county,
local housewives npw have a won
derful opportunity To fcuy and serve
more eggs. Mr. Proffitt states this
I is due to the very heavy production \
■of eggs, which has resulted In a
surplus of eggs above normal oon-
I umption and in low prices. Along
, with the usual heavy springtime ,
production from commercial and
farm flocks has come a large
supply of hatching eggs being sold
for eating purposes.
The (March Egg Month program
is being conducted on d statewide
and national basis to encourge the
consumption of more eggs.
program* in North Carolina is
being sponsored by the state De
partment of Agriculture, N. C.
State College and the Poultry and
Egg National Board.
Mr. Proffitt states that eggs are j
not only an excellent buy,? which
should cause more to be consumed
at the present time, but that most
I people need to eat more eggs for
their health’s sake. He states that
a survey among the American
people found that on the average
60 percent failed to eat an adequate
breakfast before going to work.
Wd do not expect our car to run
without gas, but too many people
expect their own body to keep
| going at '& normal rate without
I supplying the needed fuel. The
/. most important meal of the day
|is breakfasJL ■ - l
j And what can make a finer
breakfast than two eggs cooked
the way you like them.

tfHE YANCEY RECORD 1
THIS WBtk% SAFETY
. rfBMAGK a
By Cameron F. Moßoe, M. D.
Let us quote again from “Acci
dents and Health in North Car
olina, 1956”. This report Shows that
v the greatest number of deaths (215)
In home and farm accident* in 1956]
were due to flrea, burns, and ex
plosions. “Over one-third -of these!
deaths from fires and burns were
among children under 15 years of j
age, and another third among those
in the advanced years of life. Both I
of these groups are made up of'
those who may be less able to'
protect themselves when fire'
breaks out. The. frequency with
which small unattended children
die from fire deserves special note.
> Almost without exception, studies
have shown, the children who die
in fires are those whose parents
have left them unattended while
, the parent is away from home.
| Some of the parental excursions
have been for only a few minutes,
while in other instances children
have been left alone for several
hours while the mother and father
were at work. There are grounds
for the prediction that at least
fifty children would be alive today
if their parents had not left them
alone during the past year.”
