[ NOVLa Sure Cure for WALL-CRACKS!
For generations, folks have been trying to repair wall
cracks by filling them, but always give up in despair.
And no wonder. Walls constantly expand and contract
with temperature and humidity changes. Brittle crack
fillers compress or pull apart, and open-up or fall out.
Until Tuff-Kote, the only way to make a permanent
repair was replacing the entire wall.
CRACKS DISAPPEAR FOREVER
Now, however, this problem is solved once and for all
by a simple application of Tuff-Kote that spans cracks
with a thin, pliable, high-strength patch, instead of
filling them. This convenient repair is invisible when
painted, stronger that the wall itself, and does the job
forever. No chipping, no ■wire mesh, no fuss or muss.
There has never been anything like it. Outstanding
advantages for many other home uses, too, indoors
and out. Everyone is an expert with Tuff-Kote’

Women Marines
Wear Uniforms
By Mainboche
The Marine Corps today ex
tended to all women from 18 to
81, an invitation to learning.
The personal interest of all
women, according to Marine
recruiter GySgt. C. A. John
son, is in attractiveness, self
esteem, meeting new friends,
and to acquire social grace.
As a Woman Marine she is
personally fitted with the most
fashionable uniforms design
ed by Mainboche of New York.
She also has the opportunity
of being stationed at numerous
posts and stations, plus as
sisting the male Marines in
the bitter hard struggle of
building a strong and peaceful
nation.
Being a member of the
world’s finest military organ
ization entitles the Woman
Marine to undertake specil
ists skills in administration,
communication, payroll, motor
transport, personnel, supply
and the numerous facets of
Marine Corps Aviation. In ad
dition to working under the
finest conditions, the Woman
Marine has at her fingertips,
the most modern sports facil
ities for her entertainment and
recreation.
If you are a high school
graduate—you too can bear the
title, Marine.

Taylor Plans
Survey Study to
Extend Parkway
Congressman Roy A. Tay
lor has announced he plans to
introduce a bill authorizing
funds for a survey study of
extending the Blue Ridge
Parkway from Tennessee Bald
southwest by Cashiers and
Highlands into Georgia.
Taylor, representative o f
North Carolina’s 12th District,
said his decision to introduce
the bill was prompted by
“widespread interest” among
Western North Carolina peo
ple to see the famous scenic
highway pushed farther south
ward.
“Thousands of new summer
visitors from metropolitan At
lanta and points south would
utilize the parkway for vaca
tion trips into the mountains,”
Taylor said.
A member of the National
Parks subcommittee of the
House Interior Committee,
Taylor said he had conferred
with National Parks Director
Conrad L. Wirth on the pro
posed extension and said Wirth
had been “most encouraging.”
Taylor said the bill, if ap
proved, would provide suffic
ient appropriations to survey
and make estimates on what
would be involved in extend
ing the Blue Ridge Parkway
southward.
Not only would extension of
the parkway prove a great eco
nomic boost to Western North
Carolina, Taylor said, but
would open up areas of our
state in the Cashiers-High
lands sections which “abound
in unsurpassed natural beau
ty.”
Taylor said that virtually
all of the original Blue Ridge
Parkway has now been pro
grammed for construction and
declared that “now is the time
to plan ahead on extension
programs.”

Public Welfare.
How can I adopt a baby?
Visit your county depart
ment of public welfare and the
complete procedure will be ex
plained to you.
I know a mother who wants
someone to adopt her baby;
can’t I get the baby from her?
This is the most dangerous
method of adopting a baby.
You know the mother; she
knows you. The mother may
not remain out of the picture
after the baby is adopted. You
may not know about the child’s
background and whether it is
legally free or available for
adoption. Perhaps the legal
father has not given his con
sent. Many hazards are in
volved in this type of adoption
which is called “direct place
ment.”
What is the most desirable
way to adopt a baby?
Make an application through
your county department of
welfare or private licensed
child-placing agency. There
are four of this latter type
of agency in North Carolina:
the Children's Home Society
in Greensboro, the Bureau of
Catholic Charities in Char
lotte, the Family and Child
Service Agencies in Charlotte
and Winston-Salem.
What are the next steps?
The agency gathers back
ground information on any
child being released for adop
tion. It also studies the adop
tive applicant’s home. The
data are gathered by case
workers in the county depart
ment of public welfare and
private licensed child-placing
agencies. These data determ
ine the needs of the child and
the adoptive parents in rela
tion to each other and are the
bases for the report to the
court of adoption when the le
gal proceeding is processed.
They include family back
grounds, histories of the in
dividual natural and adoptive
parents, health, school and
employment records, the adop
tive applicant’s reason for
wanting to adopt a child, the
physical setup of the adop
tive home, and the develop
ment of the child before place
ment. References are contact
ed to learn more of the adop
tive applicant’s ability to meet
the needs of the child.
How long will I have to wait
to adopt a baby after I apply?
The length of the waiting
period varies, for the agency
strives to find a suitable baby
or older child for each couple
who wants one. Sometimes

GARDEN TIME
by M. E. Gardner
Medical science is about to
prove that “an apple a day
keeps the doctor away.” If
one-a-day won't do the job,
then we should eat two a day.
At a recent American Heart
Association meeting Dr. Ancil
Keys reported that 15 grams
of pectin a day for three
weeks can lower the cholester
ol and other fatty materials
content of the blood, one of
the major causes of heart fail
ure. Two ripe luscious apples
will approximate the 15-gram
a-day supply of pectin. Can
you imagine a more delight
ful way to take your medi
cine ?
What about high blood pres
sure? This is another com
mon ailment in this day ol
fast, furious and devil-may
care living. A Russian scient
ist has found another import
ant place for an apple diet ir
the relief of this trouble. Dr
B. S. Levine reports a definiti
curative effect upon a largi
percentage of his patients.
Dr. Levine used 180 patients
all suffering from “slow pro
gressive hypertension.” I 1
summary, he reports “tha
blood pressure was reduced ii
119 patients” of whom two
thirds were restored to nor
mal. Some improvement wa:
noted in 85% of his patient:
who ate the apple diet. Hi
further reports that the func
tional state of the centra
nervous system was consid
ered to be improved.
Another report tells of th<
value of fresh apples in re
ducing influenza attacks, anc
other illnesses, in the studenl
body of a large mid-westerr
university.
Try this one. Select one oi
your eight-year-olds and let
him eat a piece of cake, s
cookie or some candy. Aftei
he finishes, take a good lool
at the residue in the mouth
Now give him an apple to ea1
and notice how the residue
disappears and the teeth glist
en.
I saw a color movie last
week dealing with the import
ance of fresh, raw, ripe ap
pies as an aid to oral hygiene
in preventing tooth decay
This was one of the most in
teresting and instructive les
sons of its kind I have evei
seen. Maybe you should ar
range to show it in the school
of your choice.
this may be done within a
short period of time; some
times it may take a year oi
more.
