We started late in this race for
preparedness. The dictators had been
arming; for years when our govern
ment placed its first contract for de
fense material with American In
dustry last spring. We've made
amazing progress since then but ex
perts say that we have only begun
turning out tanks and planes and
ships and guns in the vast quantities
that we can eventually achieve.
lut viewing the thing from an-
r angle, it seems as if we've
beef preparing for this emergent-
ever since we became an industrial
nation.
Today, America is a country of 130
million people occupying 1-20 of the
surface of the earth. But that isn't
the measure of our strength. We've
i developed our resources and built
up an industrial system that is
frankly the envy of the aggressor
countries. Just look at some of the
things we have!
We produce 2-3 of the world's oil,
1-3 of its lumber, 1-3 of its coal, 1-3
of its hydroelectric power, 1-3 of its
pigeon, nearly 1-3 of its aluminum,
anU2-5 of its copper all of them
needed for defense production.
;,. Then consider that we have 1-3 of
'all the railroads in the world nearly
H of . all the radios of all the
telephones, and nearly of all the
"automobiles to mention just a few
of the things which our industrial
system has produced.
. 'The figures, which are nothing less
than staggering, mean that we had a
kind of head start on the rest of the
world and that even if we did begin
lite on this last lap of preparedness

we Bhall be able to overtake and
finally surpass th.e defense produc
tion of the dictator countries.
Besides we have one other great
advantage. We are a nation of free
men and women working together in
a system of free private enterprise.
We work because we have ambition
and ideals and not because someone
tells us we must or threatens us with
punishment if we don't. And we
work according to our own ideas of
how things should be done, making
changes whenever they seem desira
ble and bringing about improve
ments all the time we work to ex
press ourselves and to earn the re
wards offered by a system like ours.
For two decades after the last war
we hoped for peace and let our arma
ment industry lapse. But with our
genius for production with our
great reservoirs of man power with
our natural resources and, above all,
with our traditional love of freedom
for every man, woman and child
within our borders, we have the
groundwork for an output of defense
material such as the world has never
seen. Since we first declared our
independence over a century and a
half ago, we have been building
"better than we knew"; getting ready
to make this the "arsenal of democ
racy" at a time" when free men
everywhere must make a determineo
stand for human liberty.
Safety Talks
Do you remember that popular
song of a few years back titled "Stay
on the Right Side, Sister"? If you
do, the Highway Safety Division
says you are different from many
North Carolina pedestrians and mo
torists. Motorists driving on the wrong
side of the road and pedestrians
walking on the wrong side of the
road accounted for 93 of the 349
traffic fatalities in this state the
first four months of this year, ac
cording to records of the Safety
Division.
During the- four-months period
from January through April, 19
pedestrians were killed while walk'
ingon the rright v side of the road,
with i traffic v '
pf Ai ' much as has ben written and
said about the dangers of walking
with traffic, it Seems that every
North Carolinian should know by
now that the State law directs that
pedestrians shall walk on the leftj1
nana siae oi me nignway, iacing
traffic," said Ronald Hocutt, director
of the Highway (Safety Division.
"It also seeniB," he said, "that
every driver should know the simpr
lest and most elementary of all our!
onvmg rules, wmcn is that you
must drive on the right hand side of
the road. Yet 74 persons were kill
ed in this state the first four months
of this year because of wrong-side:
driving." '
To all North Carolina motorists
Hocutt suggests: "Drive on the right,'
don't saddle the center line and
Share, Jth& jroat with'; the other; fel-1
to peaestnans, ne saysr "t or your
own protection,, walk on the left side
of the highway,' Id that you will be
.facing , traffic rand thus Ml be able
to see danger in time to avoid it,"

The "nerve center" of any home is
the kitchen. Through its doors, day
in and day out, passes an endless
stream of food, dishes, and people.
On its working tables there is con
stant activity. Small wonder then,
that the homemaker cannot be happy
in a kitchen inadequately equipped.
Today, in the country as well as
the city, the kitchen can be modern
and convenient. Varied equipment,
which makes cooking and vcleaning
easy, is available to any woman who
demands some of the pleasant relaxa
tion this machine age affords. Un
fortunately, many kitchens cannot
offer this added leisure. The number
of old fashioned kitchens is still far
out of proportion to the number of
modern kitchens, even though Amer
ican manufacturing methods have
provided ample modern facilities.
In a program of kitchen moderni
zation, homemakers should concen
trate first on the three primary
"nerve centers" the stove, refriger
ator, and sink. Although it becomes
economical over a period of time,
complete kitchen modernization can
represent a sizeable investment at the
start. More and more people are
planning their future kitchens
changing and remodeling as time and
money permits.

A bad egg is just a good egg gone
wrong, says T. T. Brown, Extension
poultry specialist of N. C. State Col
lege, "but when 175 million dozen
eggs go Dad as they do each year
in the United States that's some
thing to worry about," he added.
Brown said that the way to prevent
this tremendous egg loss is to follow
good production methods on the
farm, and good methods of handling
eggs from the nest to the consumer.
rrn . n
ine pouuryman gives some sugges
tions on how producers can handle
their flocks and eggs to help cut
down this loss, and save food for de
fense. j (1) Keep strong, healthy, vigor
ous hens and care for them properly,
(2) produce infertile eggs after the
hatching season is over, (3) gather
eggs at least twice a day in cool
, weather and not less than three times
a day in hot weather, (4) keep eggs
clean and in a cool, fairly moist
place, and (5) market eggs frequent
ly! i In marketing eggs Brown recom
mends that all cracked dirty and
very small or very large eggs be
sorted out. Eggs should not be
washed. They should be packed
when cool never with the animal
heat in them and they should be
packed with the large end up. Egg
quality is essential for better prices,
and selling on a quality or graded
basis encourages production of better
eggs.

Now the country and suburban
dweller no longer need hesitate in
starting her modernization program.
An ideal unit to begin with is the
stove. Kerosene oil ranges now are
as modern in appearance and effi
cient in performance as any gas or
electric range. Improvements in re
cent years have made kerosene stov
es and ranges highly efficient, with
their clean, quick, intense, controlled
heat. In operation they have ad
vanced as far as the modern auto
mobile over the car of 1915. Porce
lain enameled finishes have banished
cleaning drudgery; glass wool insu
lated ovens turn out perfectly baked
pies, cakes, and meals; easily oper
ated burner controls eliminate all of
the old-fashioned troubles of lighting
and adjusting; and large, accessible
storage compartments take care of
idle utonsils.
Here is a simple, economical way
to begin a program of kitchen mod
ernization that will pay big dividends
in increased efficiency, added leisure,
and better health. Continuance of
such a program will soon make your
kitchen the envy af all your friends
and result in establishing your home
as the style leader of the community.
THERE'S no need to suffer from the stifling
heat of summertime. Install a good electric
fan in every room in-your home, and live in
cool comfort all summer long. Prices are low,
so buy today. See our complete selection of
all kinds of Electric Fans.
