What will the N. C. Legislators
do for the schools of their state?
The P.T.A. is interested in these
items as well as many others:

1. Therie, should be a full restor
ation of all salaries, both in the
public schools and institutions of
higher learning from State funds in
order to hold a personnel of ability,
training, and experience. In ordfer to
insure good teachers, principals and
superintendents an appropriation
for the minimum school opportunity
of eight months should include:
A. Increments for experience.
B. Provisions for sick leave.
C. A reduction of the teacher
load.
D. Encouragement of further
training through the issuance of a
higher level of certificates, with ad
ditional salary provisions.
2. As a means of improving the
school situation for the average
child and providing a real oppor
tunity for exceptional children, we
believe special provision should be
made for these exceptional children
in every school in the State.
3. a means of increasing the
efficiency and effectiveness of class
room instruction we believe that
more adequate instructional sup
plies and library facilities should
•be provided. Trained librarians
should be provided for every large
school.
4. We believe that in the trans
portation of school children, the
emphasis should be on the moral
soundness and physical safety rath
er than on the low per capita cost
of this service. Every child who has
to ride a bus should have a seat, and
should not be required to leave
home more than an hour before
school.
5. In addition to thq above pro
gram to be provided by the State
for a minimum opportunity of
eight months out of State funds,
we believe local communities should
have the lqgal right and encourage
ment to vote taxes with which to
provide:
A. A ninth month.
B. A twelfth grade.
C. An enriched program to meet
the special needs of individual com
munities.
6. Earnestly to urge our senators
and congressmen to support a bill
that will equalize the educational
opportunity as between the states,
and provide aid for the schools out
of Federal funds, to the end that
our per capita cost of $24.18 per
year may more nearly approach the
national average of $67.00, thereby
enabling us to raise .our rank above

New York, N. Y.—“IT’S TRUE! that the strangest wilder
ness ever conceived in a motion picture studio provides one
of the big thrills in ‘Tarzan Escapes’,” says Wiley Padan.
“It represents a waste quagmire in the heart of Africa, in

thing. Bare, dead trees, strange mists, and quicksand holes
add to the weird appearance.’’

BEST PORK COMES
FROM GOOD HOGS
Hogs Must be Neither Too Young
Nor Too Old, Too Fat
or Too Thin
Getting hogs in good condition
for slaughter is one of the main
points in successful butchering, said
H. W. Taylor, extension swine
specialist at State College.
The best pork, He said, comtes
from hogs that are neither too
young nor too old, too fat or too
thin.
Butcher hogs should be well fin
ished. A well finished hog weigh
ing from 200 to 250 pounds pro
duces the most satisfactory pork
for curing on the farm.
Smooth, evenly fleshed animals
produce a better meat, and will cut
up with less waste than coarse,
rough, wrinkled, and flabby ones.
They also have a more tender, fin
er textured product with the right
proportion of fat and lean.
Hogs that are gaining in weight
arq usually the healthiest and will
make the best meat. However, the
loss of a few pounds in shipping
before butchering will not lower
the quality of tHq meat.
The muscles of a thin hog are
tough. They lack the flavor and
juiciness found in a well marbled
piece of meat.
Extremely fat, heavy hogs can
not be converted into the best quali
ty cured pork.
Although hogs may be slaught
ered at any age, meat from young
pigs is watery and soft and does
not have the flavor and keeping
qualities of meat from animals a
little older.
Additional information on killing
and curing hogs may be obtained
from county agents or in extension
folder No. 34, “Killing and Curing
Meat on the Farm,” which will be
sent free upon application to the
agricultural editor at State College.

Don’t Let Good Bargains Slip
Through Your Fingers
Forget for the minute that you are the
buyer of goods and we are the seller. In
stead, let’s look at our mutual problems
as buyer and seller and believe us when
we say that this statemenf is for our mu
tual benefit, but even more largely your
benefit.
Our business makes it necessary that
we not only have connections with sources
of supply all over the country, but also
that we keep well informed regarding the
possibilities of quick deliveries and on the
other hand keep informed regarding prob
able delays in shipments due to amount of
business various producers have.
Lots of manufacturers are from three
weeks to two months behind on promised
deliveries. Others are refusing to take
any more orders for delivery before
Christmas.
Do your Christmas buying now. If it is too early to take it
out come in and make your selections. We will gladly
hold same for you.

The Rev. Marcus Dillahunty, a
Negro preacher and fanner near
Lqbanon, Tenn., missed corn from
his field, so he pushed nails into the
ends of several dozen ears. Later
he took witnesses to the hog pens
of two suspected neighbors, and
found corncobs with his nails. Theft
charges were preferred.
