The first raid took place a few hours after Premier Metaxas and his government defied Italy’s ultimatum for un conditional surrender. (Inset) A portrait of Premier John Metaxas, “iron man” of Greece, who urged all Greeks to “fight to the death.” Each family will bring with them at the time they come to make a mattress 5 needles, 1 spool of No. 50 thread, and 1 paper of! straight pins. The SMA furnishes Lie cotton | and mattress ticking and oays thei freight charges. Other necessary, expenses have to be paid. Each j family will make a donation for incidental expenses of making each mattress. The expenses to be paid include making of the mattress til:k, supervision, linen, thread, tufting and roll-edge needles, tufts, hauling, tables, i sewing machines, clerical work,! fuel for the winter months in the centers, and other miscellaneous expenses. Since the needles ha»C| advanced to twice their original cost it will be necessary for each person who breaks one to pay for it. By careful use breakage may be prevented, but since it has happened several times in the past, we suggest that each family | bring enaugh extra cash to take! care of an accidental breakage, 60 cents for the large tufting needle; 30 cents for the small roll edge needle, A family consists of two or more persons having a common or pooled income and living to gether as an interdependent eco nomic unit in one household, or one person maintaining a separate and independent household. A farm family is any family which derives at least one-half of its income from agricultural occupations, regardless of place of residence. Maximum Number of Mattress es per Family: Bach eligible fam ily may receive one mattress for each two persons in the family, but not to exceed a total of three mattresses. Where one person con stitutes a family under the pro v sions of this program, such per son is eligible to receive one mat tress. If the family has already leceived a mattress or has made application for material to make a mattress, under the Cotton Mat tress Project, or has received a mattress or the material to make a mattress from the Farm Secur We Wish You All A Happy Thanksgiving and we certainly do thank you for the nice business that you have given us.

Attractive Package | Helps Sell Honey A good quality of honey, prop -1 erly packaged, will bring a good price, says Frank B. Meacham, j apiarist of N. C. State College. I He recommends that the product be packaged attralctively. “In general, the North Carolina beekeeipers had high yields of ' honey this year, and it was of good quality,” he said. “Honey stems to move to the consumer better during the cool weather ct this season. A display of live bees in an observation hive is a I great selling aid with a display of ; honey in the store or at the open market.” Meacham also reported that the’ weather in most of the State has been conducive to ideal wintering conditions for bees thus far. “We have had mild weather and there have been some fall honey plants,” he stated, “which 3hould help beekeeprs to have their col onies strong for the cold weath er ahead. It is hardly worthwhile to try to winter rweak colonies unless for counting purposes next, spring. “It is safe to assume,” he con tinued, “that our largest noney crops in North Carolina are pro duced by colonies that are head ed by young queens in the fall. They should also have two stories oi brood Chambers, the first, of which should be about full of bees and the other about full of honey. They also need a little drone comb and protection from vwntry winds. A well-closed hive is imperative, and a windbreak will help. Weak colonies should be united with strong colonies and a sheet of newspaper placed be tween them.” Prof. Meacham offers to send Prof. Meacham offers to send ■any beekeeper a free bulletin on outdoor wintering of bees. Re quests should be addressed to Prof. F. B. Meacham, State Col lege Station, Raleigh. He also points out that a new Farmers’ Bulletin (No. 554) on “Honey and Pollen Plants of the United States” is available through the Office of Information, U. S.
