FAC3 SIX the raaeguimys wesklt. Hertford, n, c, Friday, marcs 29, 1943 ' " p First IVIij Easter 1 1 in :m Traffic Slowed to Creep ihg Point; Easter Wear Stayed on the Hangers 9 "The Weather Man pnahei, tha wrong button," Somebody said.' That it was Easter Day, that it -was the official beginning of the season for the wearing of Spring trappings made not the least differ ence. Easter bonnets appeared . . . and disappeared before noon. Easter trips-were clipped short, a)l most at the beginning, because traf fic in these parts slowed to a cau tious crawl. It was a White Easter. The highways vanished myster iously under five to six inches of snow between noon and dusk. Long distance motorists pled piti ously for rooms for the night. "I'm tired of driving through this," they moaned. There were no lodgings to oe nau when night had fallen. The hotel and tourists' homes were already "full-up". Tow-cars were kept busy. Minor accidents (minor because drivers were taking it easy) occasioned fre quent calls for assistance, for pulls out of the ditch. At times during the Easter Bliz zard, the old-timers will be recalling years and years from now, visibility was cut to a matter of yards. Head lights at three and four o'clock were a vital necessity. The past Sunday will be remember ed because the Oldest Residents say it's their first experience with snow on Easter. Snow close before and after Easter, yes; but not on Eastar Sunday. Monday in the county's schools was an unscheduled holiday. Plants were to operate because so many days this semester have already been lost due to the weather and road condi tions. r But it was no go. The busses did Hoi have a chance. Monday was a school holiday regardless. The fact that Easter arrived ear lier in the season than in twenty years or more may have had some thing to do with it. Snows have vis ited here in March . . . some of the Biggest Snows. It began just before noon, a few discouragednilakes, seemingly reluc tant to fall "so far out of season. But it gained courage, and with courage it gained density. It continued with out letup until far. in the night, nine or ten o'clock. ' Remnants of the Easter Blizzard were disappearing rapidly under a blazing sun Monday morning, and be lated finery was venturing out again. Easter was a Beautiful Day, but in many cases it was sad. There was little chance to display Spring ap parel and see what new things Other People were wearing. An Easter Parade was out of the question. It would have resembled more a white-clad Finnish battalion. And skis wouldn't have been out of order. WOODLAND CHURCH SERVICES Rev. J. D. Cranford will preach at Woodland Church on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Sunday School will be held at 10 o'clock. The public is cor dially invited to attend these ser vices.

BUXTON WHITE V'SEEO.CO. ; li The. Live Seed House" ELIZABETH CHY N.'C 7 visnca Upon This Section Holiday Blaze Brings Damage To Broughton Home On Grubfo Street Fire early Sunday night brought considerable damage to the home of Mrs. Sidney Broughton on Gruhb Street A heavy downfall of snow, and heavy holiday traffic hampered the fire-fighters while the blase raged through the kitchen and dining room unchecked until a hose line could be brought. into play. House furniture was hastily moved out into the snow and as hastily moved into neighbor houses to avoid damage from wetting. Reflected and magnifiied by the falling snow, the blaze attracted a large crowd in spite of the weather. The fire was confined to the rear of the house, however, and was brought under control in a few minutes after water was turned on it. Sows Need Good Care At Farrowing Period Take care of the sow and save the pigs, is the timely advice offered farmers of North Carolina by Ellis Vestal, assistant Extension swine specialist, at this season when thous ands of swine are being born all over the State. A large percentage of the pigs farrowed in the State do not live until weaning time because of improper care of their mothers, he stated. i Vestal recommends that the sow be scrubbed thoroughly a few days before her farrowing time. "Use soap and warm water, and a brush to remove dirt and parasite eggs, paying especial attention to the ud der..., But nothing should be neglect ed, not even the feet," he said. After cleaning, the sow should be put in a clean farrowing pen, and after she has dried off, oil should be applied to control lice and mange. At farrowing time an attendant should be on hand to give any needed assistance. As4.the pigs are born, they should be dried, and the eight tusk-like teeth should be clipped with side-cutting pliers. As other advice, Vestafl said: "Keep other hogs away from the farrowing pasture, and keep the new pigs away from dirty hog lots. Leave the pigs on the clean pasture until they are at least four months old, or have 'attained an average weight of 100 pounds. When possible, leave them there until they can be turned into the corn fields or otherwise fat tened for market." In conclusion, the Extension spec ialist declared: "Save every pig far rowed, if possible. 3t is the number of heallthy pigs weaned that counts, especially during this period when swine prices are low and the margin of profit is lessened."

A possibility that the attendance of men at the convention will be swelled was seen when E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer, announced that tentative plans have been made to hold a meeting of County Triple-A committeemen at State College dur ing Farm and Home Week. This would bring to Raleigh 300 leading farmers of the State. It was the unanimous vote of the committee on arrangements that Governor and Mrs. Clyde R.
