On a sUte basis, West Virginia, with 12.7JWT cent, had the lowest proportion of mortgaged farms in the nation, while Massachusetts, with 46.3 per cent, had the highest ratio. A Chance To Talk Portia Carolina residents will have an opportunity to tell what they think bout the State s educational system In a surrey to b conducted by the State Educational Commission, which was set up by the Legislature to make a study of all phases of education in North. Carolina. According to the information we Lave at hand this commission has se cured several outstanding educators to conduct this survey. The facts they find will be given to the public for digest. One of the processes to be wed by this Commission in finding the facts about our school system will be questionnaire published m various newspapers. Readers will be request ed and urged to fill out these ques tionnaires, giving their 'views on the system, and in turn mailing them to the State Commission. v This plan, we believe, is good. We nave had the opportunity of listening to a number of complaints about our school system and we believe many of these complaints carried opinions and, suggestions i that could well be incorporated into our jStat "system. We hope that the Reader of this newspaper will, when the question naire is published, fill it out and mail it to the proper address, which will be listed on, the form. fft It is our personal opinion that a number of things could be done which will place our State educational sys tem on a higher plane, and move the State's rating higher in the national standing. One of the chief complaints that we have heard : regarding our local system is that a student Is not prepared for entrance' into college after graduating from our i high school. Certainly, "- if : this is true. then the system! should be corrected Feeding The Enemy Not .many people in the United States understand the extent of the assistance which this country is fur nishing the other peoples of the world, including those of former enemy states. . Recently speaking in Bari,1 Italy, our Ambassador, James u lmnn, told the Italians that the two-per-day ships of the last five months brought to Italy 2,200,000 tons of coal, 550,000 tons of grain and $320,000 worth of medical supplies. . We think that the people of this country should have accurate infor mation as to the extent of assistance already furnished the various coun tries of Europe. It might be a good idea to know, for example, what sup plies have been shipped to Great Britain, France and other countries, as well as to Italy. pear as regularly year after year as the pkkleworm. . The pest has an un usual ability to Bpread northward each year, though it kills out during the winter. It also increases in num bers at a very rapid rate during hot weatner. ,y; t 'Vf'tV The first larvae of the pest usually appear from July 6 to 18 in the Ra leigh area, the author states. But in the west and north, it's Usually a lime later, uyoute dust has proved to oe me oest insecticide of the many materials which have been tested. Dutsing should start immediately af ter the first pickleworms are found. A weekly dusting is satisfactory, but a snorter interval gives better con- troi, especiaUy. in rainy weather. . . If the crops are nicked lust before dusting, Dr. Fulton finds that the resi due is not serious, except perhaps on small cucumbers. The residue is eas ily removed by rain or by washinir. &arly .crops . usually escape injury. Fall crops may escape for a time if no early crops are produced nearby.

Your 8b io to ou saiinbai anqoiaomB when it is resting, but your body does. When lying at perfect rest sleeping soundly the body is using fuel which was taken in as food. It uses much more when exercising. The foods that store fat in the body are mostly the starches, such as bread, cereals, rice, hominy, potatoes, pastry, cakes, pies and fats of all Jdnds, cream, butter and fat meats. "Then," queries my overweight friend. "must I leave all those things out of my diet in order to lose weight?" By no means. That has been tried to the detriment of the health of the victims. Of course, the fatmaking foods should be partaken of more sparingly. Many fat people eat too much starch. In fact, they eat too much of everything. In order to reduce without causinsr hunger, weakness, or discomfort, the person should never try to reduce too rapidly. The vegetables such as cab bage; turnips, kale and srreens of all kinds, contain valuable vitamins and are laxative. They can be eaten freely, for they do not produce fat.1 Half a head of lettuce at dinner is quite filling. A combination of raw fruits and vegetables .is extremely wholesome and very satisfying. Lem on juice is preferred by some as a dressing. Liquids are held by the body in the fatty tissues and salt greatly aids iri this retention. For this reason it is well to reduce the intake of salt and water. No matter how much you ex ercise, you will not reduce your weight if you continue to overeat, It is extremely important that overweight people eat more moderate ly and cut. down considerably on starches. Most obese people like fattening foods of all kinds, such as breads, cereals and desserts. Too many starchy foods, as a rule, are served at meals. Meat, bread, or potatoes, one or two fresh vegetables, and a raw salad, and desired a simple dessert, is quite enough for a dinner. In fact, one could get along on less, especially if trying "to reduce. . , i If there is a feeling of hunger in ! me middle oi tne morning or after- keting -M of 1943. Dr. It A.
