THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, ' HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1948. PAGE FTVB To I'Jiit Cdfe 5 $:;:rd feint) . Arthuir' T. Moore, head of the S Caa'a M AnllAttfool Tiwniwitfan Pwl. :v gram, says that a great portion of the State s citizens were needlessly upBet over plans for the inspection program. " ' He added that many had the idea they would have to drive several hundred miles to, lane headquarters ' for their inspection this year. Moore . said: "There is absolutely .no need to worry',' for we have emphasized over and over again that the lanes ' are portable, and that they will be : - transported from county to county in order to. reach all motorists in the State." ' He said he had had numerous 1 queries from vehicle, owners in Craven ' and Carteret counties, who believed' that just because headquar v ten for lane 33 had been set up in ; Greenville that everyone in those C counties would have to drive to Greenville for an inspection. Moore added that headquarters for ' each of the State's 36 inspection ' lanes were set up on the basis of . motor vehicle population, and each '3. lane was planned to take care of 20,000 vehicles twice a year. In some counties there are 20,000 or more ve hicles within a given county, and in such cases there Js one lane to service that county. However, in-cases where s ; there were not 20,000 registered ve hicles within a given county, then ad joining counties were taken in until k the required 20,000 vehicles could be .'found. t Headquarters were set up, there fore, in counties with the heaviest ve ' hide population,, but this does not , r mean that the lane will remain there all the time. It merely means that for administrative purposes the head- . quarters were established there, but the lanes will be transported from county to County in order to reach all - Vehicle owners. And Moore added that no'' car or truck owner should . worry, for a lane will visit each county several times during the year, . . regardless of whether headquarters are set up there or not. Meeting Piped 1 V: North Carolina Farm Bureau will hold its,l2th annual State convention February 1, 2, 3" and 4 in Asheville, with leading representatives of agri culture, industry and labor joining with outstanding legislators in a pro gram of unusual interest, R. Flake Shaw, executive vice president, has announced. This year's convention will be one of the most important ever held by the North Carolina Farm Bureau," Shaw said. "A well-rounded pro gram is being developed and we feel ore everyone who attends will re ceive ; considerable benefit from the discussions, addresses and commodity conferences." Arrangements have been made to run a Farm Bureau special train on the Southern 'Railway, if at least 300 members indicate they wish to make the trip t by train, Shaw said. The special train would originate at Golds boro, as did last month's Farm Bu reau special for the organization's na tional meeting in Chicago, with stops Scheduled at major points enroute to Asheville. Early registration for the train must be made by those planning to go by rail, Shaw added. Main sessions of the meeting will Se held in the City Auditorium, ad vent to the George Vanderbilt Ho 1.

County Agent Urges Rat Proof Buildings One way that Perquimans County farmers can increase the supply of grains for human food is to stop feeding so much of it to rats, says I. C. Yagel, county agent for the State College Extension Service. While 100 per cent control of these wasters of human food is not re garded as practical, certain measures can be taken to materially decrease the losses, Mr. Yagel said. Not only do the rats on your farm destroy many bushels of corn and other grains each year, but they are carriers of bubonic plague, typhus, and other deadly diseases, he declared. It should be the earnest desire of every farmer as well as the towns people in the county to rid his prem ises of rats. This will not be so easy for many, but others should be able to control. the infestation with very little expense and time. One of the best ways to control the infestation is to first get rid of those now on your premises. Then by fol lowing certain sanitation practices the' year-round, you can soon have your farm or home rat proof. . Rat proofing the farm in the broad est sense takes in not only the exclu sion Of rats from buildings of all types but also the elimination of their hiding and nesting places and cutting off their food supply. Through open doors and in other ways, rats may 'requently gain entrance to structures that are otherwise rat proof,, but they can not live there unless they find safe retreats and food. ' When rat proofing becomes the regular practice 5 ,':lcrists-Cring .Your Car ' to RiVME AUTO SERVICE FOR COMPLETE SERVICE 1 , . 7 . V" -f. .. .. ... . '.' '-,,.' ,i!v'' "'fi.''
