By WHATSO THE GYM THAT SHOU1LD HAVE BEEN long since seems to be in a state of vocal germination. A boni issue is being whispered as a desir able thing; the Town Fathers are being sounded out, it would seem, as to the possibility of engaging in some real estate trading that a pro per site may be found whereon to place tfie gym. The proposed gym nasium, by the way, is supposed to be a county affair and is, indeed spoken of as the Perquimans County Gymnasium. Well, quite apart from all the talk that is going around, it is very evident that we do need a High School gymnasium and we need it at the High School, where it will be easily at the command of every boy and girl in the County during the years in High School. It has seemed to the author of this column some thing of a disgrace to the County that we have not had a gymnasium at the High School where certainly it has been needed. At the present time there is no adequate equipment supplied at the County High ISchool for handling the athletic phase of the student life. We feel that t s quite time this need was met.

AMERICA HAS PLENTY OP FOOD FOR EVERYONE Quite a news iteml , As we recall there was a winter way back yonder in the days of the early settlements when the hard winter of the north struck havoc into the souls of the Pilgrim Fathers. It seems they did not un- derstand how long and hard a New England winter could be and they I had not made sufficient preparation for the long, lean months. 0, yes! There was that time when the In dians went on the rampage and de stroyed the crops end so there was want and hunger among the colon ists. From that time until now, how ever, the crops of America have al ways produced sufficient for all the food needs of America. In fact soj bountifully has the hand of Mother Nature treated our great lend that! certain of our small agricultural' economists have been able to expert- ment with that abundance and de- stroy the same in their attempt to prove some sort of a theory. And still, notwithstanding, the little ways of politicians trying to regulate the' ways and laws of nature from a hogany topped desks, Old Mother Nature anq the farmer nave gone. right along about their, hoifst busi nes and; as the big posfcf, gotten out , apparently by the Department of Agriculture or some other .political organizations says "America has plenty of food for everyontff?

Well Planned Storage 0 mv a j oaves lime vna money A sound investment of time and money, sayf Pauline Gordon, exten sion home management specialist of State College, is a well-planned stor age space for canned foods. In a newly-published folder now available from the college, it is point ed out that every farm home can have adequate storage space for food with but little work and expense. I "Not only is it possible to reduce thecOst of meals by using home grown and home-conserved foods, but the satisfaction of having a good supply and variety on hand at aW times means much to the home- maker," Miss Gordon said. "Shei knows the health and happiness of, her family depend on well-balanced meals." Actually, there are four good rea sons for having plenty of storage space. First, it provides an ade quate place for conserved products,: sufficient in quantity to meet bud get requirements. Second, it allows products to be arranged fer conven ience according to their food value. Third, well-planned storage im proves the quality and variety of canned meats and of jellies, pre serves, and pickles. Fourth, it lm proves the quality and care of dried. bnned, and stored products. fc- The folder explains proper location tJ'Z Specialists of the Home V Demon stration Department at State ' Col lege, in cooperation with the Agri cultural:' Engineering Department, prepared the new folder.
