1f, THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C. FRIDAY. MAY 80, 1941 TBI PAGE SEVEN THIS BUSINESS OF w 4 SUSA TNAYIK IT'S THE INDIVIDUAL THAT COUNTS We're talking in big numbers these days as Industry gets into its stride in making America strong; 1,400 planes a month now, with a goal of 4,000 before the year is over . . . . $100 million worth of defense plant Construction a week . . . over half the steel production of the entire 'world ... $5 billion of ships on order .. . . rail traffic 16 to 20 higher than this time last year with a neea for 270,000 new freight cars . . . even offipe equipment manufacturers reaching a new high in production and the government buying 110 mil lion pounds of scoured wool!! The figures mount up until we are dizzy. But back of the spectacle of America rousing like some great giant to defend herself is the indi vidual the man who must give al most unbelievable personal care ana precision to the making of the ma- chines which will be our chief pro tection. For instances, there must not be so much as a scratch on a certain vital casing of an airplane engine. So an individual polishes it and polishes it afr&tf with more care than as if it were! a jewel and then tests it with 'the "Magnaflux" which can discover hidden flaws. Another individual who is skillful with a micrometer must measure to a hair line every moving part of this beautiful machine. Then, after running the new motor for 10 hours, another man takes it apart, tests it once more, then puts it to gether again. So, in the final analysis the produc- tion of machines for defense is up to the individual craftsman ... In the final analysis, our Democracy is also a matter for separate human beings for you and me and the man and woman down the street who must De lieve in it with all our hearts and defend it by this belief as well as by the things we say and do. Democracy exists for the sake of the individual w all know that. It was evolved v. Local Girl On Staff Of College Annual t libs Marguerite Ward, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. I. A.

It also requires something of us individually. We dare not leave its protection to the vast mechanized army we are building or to the gov ernment in our state capital and in Washington or even to our great free industrial system which has gone "all out" in service to the country. We must each one of us learn what our Democracy means and what it does not mean. We must think a bout it, talk about it and see that it works in our own home and in our own neighborhood, and our own town and make sure that no one imposes on any of the fundamental freedoms of ourselves or our neighbors. This is the only way for a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people, to endure in a world like this.

Their blossoms gleam like snow In gardens and on farms. Great fields arj crowded with their white bell-SJuped forms and the air 'round about Is fille-1 with their fragrance. Easter lilies on these Isles are cultivated for their lover blos soms, for bulbs, and for perfume manufacture. During the flower picking season little horse-drawn carts tilled like Easter baskets with these flowers trundle along the roads carrying their lovely cargo from farms to perfume factory, or to piers for shipment to the United States. Bulbs are harvested In Inly and August. They are then sorted according to size, packed in dry our gardeners and florists. Some fifty growers on the Island have a! most thirty acres under cultivation While ths Easter lilies are still In bloom, the oleanders be;;iu to blossom, flashing their pink and crimson colors from roadside hedges and gorgeous gardens. Each Spring many travelers take the weekly "Santa" cruises just to enjoy the floral beauties of this balmy land There are Easter lilies eveywhere and many other types of flowers.

Safety Talks "Scores of North Carolinians now looking forward to a vacation period of rest and peace this summer will 'Rest in Peace' "when the vacation season comes to a close." Ronald Hocutt, director the Highway Safety Division, made this dire prediction in speaking of what apparently is goitig to happen on North Carolina streets and hignways this summer. "I dislike being a pessimist and unless traffic checkei round 300 accidents is unexpectedly we may expect to see a- persons killed in traffic accidents in the State from Memorial Day (May 30) to Labor Day (Sep tember 1)."

The toll this year, however, is running around 50 per cent above that of last year. "It is horrible to contemplate," he said, "that three hundred North Car olinians who are living today will die between now ami summer's end as a result of the careless, reckless and thoughtless actions of their fellow citizens. "I earnestly appeal to drivers, pedestrians, bicycle riders and all others who travel upon our streets and highways to be on their guard in traffic this summer as never be fore. Vacationists must not be in too big a hurry, must not drink and drive, and must put their minds on what they are doing at all times when in traffic. "Unless these things are done, many people in our State this sum mer will ,go on a vacation that will last for eternity." Late Smarted Chicks Require Special Care Contrary to a common belief, late started chicks can be successfully raised even though it is admitted that cooler weather might be more ideal, says C. F. Parrish, extension poultryman of N. C. State College. However, to achieve this success, a few fundamental essentials must be adhered to. For instance, the grow er should start with qualified chicks, preferably those produced in North Carolina. If broilers are desired, U. S. Approved Pullorum Passed or Clean chicks should be bought. In purchasing layers, the poultryman should check on the chicks' parents. Another essential is a suitable house, that is, one that can be open ed up, properly ventilated, and of ample size to care for the brood. For summer, the size of the brood should be reduced 25 percent. In other words, the grower should keep 75 chicks where he would normally brood 100. For litter, any material will prove satisfactory if it is highly absorbent, not relished by poultry, and available locally. Crushed corn cobs, sand, shavings, straw, sawdust, and similar materials may be used. Regardless of the material selected, it should be changed when it becomes damp and dirty. A lantern or a 15-watt bulb kept burning in the brooder house at night will make for faster growth, reduce crowding, arid curtail thievery. Any type feeder that tends to re duce waste and from which the chicks can eat readily is satisfactory. Wat erers that supply an ample amount of fresh clean water at all times are also necessary for chick-raising.
