All mem bers are urged to attend. Mrs. C. A. Bogue spent a few days recently with her daughter, Mrs. L. F. Winslow, in Hertford. Boy Scouts Practice Many Useful Acts A review of hundreds of news photographs in "Boys' Life", month ly magazine of the Boy Scouts, shows that Scouts in all parts of the ration are resourceful in their every-day activities and by their daily good turns, unconsciously show their ca pacity to be heJpful to their fellow citizens. Cnly recently, a large number of Scouts responded for emergency ser vice within a matter of minutes af ter the powder plant explosion at Dover, N. J. At Huntington, West Virginia, recently Scouts constructed a sand bag dan when high waters threatened serious damage to resi dential areas in a recent flood. Sea Scouts who drill in the use of the breeches buoy in rescue work, never know when that skill may be put to actual use but through the years they have been abDe, because of their training, to save many lives and be helpful at critical times when trained hands are sorely needed. Twenty-two 'Scouts, all good swim mers, used a swimming pool at the University of Minnesota, to demon strate that by holding on to a boat completely filled with water, that they could remain afloat until aid comes. These Scouts safety demon-j stration8 have enabled countless spec tators to use the same tactics when accidents occur, and thus avoid ser ious consequences. Through Scouting boys' acquire useful skills and much informal edu cation. Sea Scouts have converted old, unseaworthy boats into safe ves sels. They also construct hundreds of new small, craft each year. Many Troops of older Scouts are quite adept at erecting wooden bridges and towers that can sustain heavy weights and serve a useful purpose. The Scout Program has made hun dreds of thousands of Scouts handy with tools and ropes. The Merit Badge Program with its more than 100 different hobby and vocational subjects has guided many boys into their life work and has given them skills which makes them better citi zens because of their ability to take care of themselves and others. 'Scouts know how to cook too!

Every producer f cotton should go to his community polling place when ha will be given a ballot, like the one shown above, on which to express his opinion. It is both a privilege and a duty of each producer to cast his ballot In the referendum. Whether the referendum is really representative el the farmers' thinking depends upon the number of producers who vet on December 7.

They distribute literature for wort'ny causes, heflp the Red Cross in numerous ways in their annual Roll Call and the Tuberculosis Christ mas Seal campaign and countless other deserving projects. One Troop of Scouts of a particu lar religious faith raised several hundred dollars to enabfle a blind young man, not of the same faith, to receive training with a Seeing Eye Dog. Scouts at Newport, R. I., as a Good Turn Project, have escorted a blind man to his place of business and home again each day for the past four years. Sc6uts'have a reputation for pay ing their own way. A T'oop at Huoston, Texas, earned i!s camp ex penses by operating a dog laundry. When Troop 101, of Story City, Iowa, wanted to raise fitidji for expenses .its members obtained the ure of some farm land and planted loth sweet corn and pop corn. Tiie proceeds from the.se products broa.ht enough money to pay the Troop's annual registration dues, finance a summer camping program and enable the bovs to build a fine Troop cabin. This is a cross section of Scouting in America as seen in "Boys' Life," which dedicates itself 't'o the enter tainment and service of the boys of America, to help them, through good leading, to learn how to do things Charlotte Man Heads Infantile Paralysis Campaign In N. C. New York,. Dec. 5. North Caro lina will launch its 1941 "Fight In fantile Paralysis" campaign under the leadership of Dr. Julian S. Miller, Editor of the Charlotte Observer and a leader in the State's social service and education fields. Dr. Miller will maintain campaign headquarters at the offices of the Charlotte Observer. In a message to Keith Morgan, National Chairman of the Commit tee for the Celebration of the Presi dent's Birthday, Dr. Miller accepted tiie State chairmanship and assurer Mr. Morgan that no effort would be spared in this year's campaign against the crippling disease. Gratified by the prospect of an enthusiastic drive for funds in North Carolina, Mr. Morgan declared: "Our slogan, 'Help the Youngster Around Your Own Corner,' will be a popular one with the peopfle of North Carolina who always have taken care of their own. "At National Headquarters, we deeply appreciate the generous sup port which North Carolina has given in the past, and we are confident that the 1941 campaign will call forth the same whole-hearted re sponse as those which have gone be fore it. "What we need right now is an army of volunteer workers who will rally behind Dr. Miller and organize the State of North Carolina as it has never been organized before." ABCS OF WINTER LAYING Inasmuch as the approach of cold weather often taxes the farmer to keep his hens laying at a high rate, per'aaps the following ABC's will help: A. Give the hens warm water on cold mornings. U. Reduce the morning feeding of grain. C. Feed, a moist mash at noon each day consisting of laying mask .noistened with buttermJik or skim milk. Tare pounds per hundred hens is usually enough. D. Soak three pounds of dat.s in half gallon of miik for 21 hours a.id use in place of the regular ...oi.,nr feeding of giain lor each 10!) hens. E. Feed a fe..' pounds of laying mash pellets late in the aitemoon following the regular grain feeding. F. Use artificial lights to length en the day. Friend of the Ready Guffaw Stockwett "He who laughs last ;aughs best." Sellers "Yeah, but he soon gets a reputation for being dumb." HANDLE EGGS CAREFULLY These few precautions about pack ing eggs will often result in in creased, profits: 1. Clean dirty eggs with a damp cloth dabbed in soda. 2. Place eggs in cases with large ends up. U. l'ack white and brown eegs :e; . rately. 4. Don't pack oversized and weak she'led egKs 'n cases. 5. Defliver eggs at least twice a week. 6. Handle eggs carefully in gath ering, casing, and marketing. Crack ed eggs and broken air cells mean lower prices. Progressive Farmer. WINDOW FLOWERS Try window garden plants for win ter cheer.
