PAC3 TWO r t ..t'v tl( I. r r r liters f jo Urge j To Practice Safety "-When you're hunting, sportsman- ship and safety may save a life and that life may be your own I, C Yagel, County Agent for the-State College Extension Service, declares, "Hunting is one of the nation's healthiest and most pleasant sports," Mr. Yagel said. "Thousands will join the ranks of game hunters during the approaching season, If you are one of them, remember that it pays to play safe. According to the National Safety Council, three causes lead to almost two-thirds of the accidents reported during the hunting season. They are: Human beings in line of fire, mistak ing another hunter for game, and hunting with the safety catch off , The good sportsman, declared the county agent, uses common, sense in handling guns and shows considera tion for others. He uses the right gun for the right game, hunts only in season, and does not take the limit un less he can use the meat or trophies. For bird hunting, he takes a trained dog to retrieve cripples. He puts out cigarettes carefully and breaks matches before dropping them. The "ten commandments of safety" which are followed by all good hunt ers are: Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun. Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your auto, camp and home. Always be sure that the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle, even if you stumble. Be sure of your target before you pull the" trigger. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. Never leave your gun unattended unless you unload it first. , Never climb a tree or a fence with a loaded gun. Never shoot at a flat, hard surface or the surface of water. Don't mix gunpowder with alcohol. J. P.

C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1948. Modern Treatment Of Tuberculosis In recent years a great crusade has been going on to wipe out pulmonary tuberculosis. Sanijaroums and hospi tals "'have been established fqr its treatment by states, counties and pri vate individuals. Campaigns for the education of the public and the raising of funds for the care of the sick and their re habilitation are constantly carried on. Communities are organized to fight the disease. They are led by trained workers, physicians, nurses and public spirited citizens. Tubercuolsis is de creasing and the mortality rate, has gone down. Many physicians have devoted their lives to the study of tuberculosis and to the care of its victims. New pro cedures have been instituted whereby much comfort has been brought to the sufferers. Not only have they Suffer ed less, but the time taken for restor ation has been greatly shortened. Surgery plays a large part in sav ing the lives of the tubercular.

The treatment consists of. complete rest in bed, fresh air and a high caloric and nutritious diet. As a reule it is not hard to arrest the disease in its incipiency. Nejr- lected, it passes from moderate to ad vanced stages. Each is more diffl cult to' treat until finally death comes and releases the sufferer. The old name for tuberculosis was consumption which described it. Un treated, the lung hollows out and leaves cayaties. Symptoms continue as long as cavities exist. The spu tum also continues to contain the very contagious bacilli. The patient is a carrier and a menace to the community. If he is ever cured, the TB special ists must take over. They look at the case from every angle and decide to resort to surgery. Here is where the thoracic surgeon must come in. He may be called upon to close a tuber cular cavity which will render the sputum negative and the patient will cease to cough. honey, fresh and frozen fish, and oat products. , The .USD A, Miss Braswell said, is sues its list of "plentiful of the month"- as a means, of aiding .home makers in shopping wisely and eco nomically, since' the foods in most plentiful supply are often those mod erately priced, . Problem Of Buying Farms Is Discussed Variety Of Foods Is Now Available The November horn of plenty will pour forth an abundant variety of menu-building foods a variety suffi cient to make every meal a budget saver Miss Nina Braswell, home demonstration agent for the State College Extension Service, says. In announcing the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture s list of foods ex pected to be in plentiful supply this month, Miss Braswell pointed out that it is topped by cranberries, southern- grown pecans, and fresh carrots. Other November plentifuls, she said, will include oranges, grapefruit, lemons, grapes, winter pears, canned grapefruit segments, canned apple sauce and apple juice, prunes, raisins, You know that tuberculosis is caused dried figs, caboage, Irish potatoes, by a germ called the tubercle bacillus. onions fruit spreads, peanut butter, A Stove For Every Home It's time to check your stove needs for fall and winter months.

Some common-sense ideas on the business of farming were brought out in a round-table discussion by Nesrro farmers of: the Washington High School community recently, reports, T. D. Williamson, Rockingham County .Negro farm agent for the State Col lege Extension Service. Thirty-seven farmers attended the meeting, which was held for the pur pose of discussing major problems in connection with buying farms.. The following conclusions were reached by the group: . 1. Farmers can make much higher incomes In productive areas than in poor sections; so they heed to find out whether the community is prosperous before they buy a farm. 2. Buyers are more likely to nay too much for a poor farm than for a good one because the difference in earning capacity is wider than they think. 3. Families on good farms usually pay off their mortgages but many fail in poor areas. 4. Buying a farm "on, a shoe string" is risky in any case, but the poorer the farm the greater the risk, The bigger the down payment, the safer the investment. ' 5. A family that does not have much capital can usually make more money as tenants on a good fan than as owners of a poor farm. o. most mortgage troubles grow out of buying a farm at too high a price and then trying to pay for it alter prices of farm products have fallen.

"The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: blessed be the name of the Lord." Again there was a council in heav en. Satan,, compelled to admit his de feat, suggested another method of at tack, stating that if Job's body was affected, then, for sure, he would re' nounce God. God permitted Satan to go forth and do what he would to Job's body, with the only limit that he spare his life. As a result,, Job was afflicted with sore boils from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head, It was a ,terrible affliction, so re pulsive to those around him that Job sought refuge outside the village up on the head of ashes. Keen as this trial was, however, Job held fast his integrity; even though his wife ad vised him to renounce God and die, As before, Job recognized God's right to take away as well as to give and admits it to be a man's duty to accept evil from God as well as good.
