II vrttan-ana takinsr on-the-farm ' training under the GI Bill, as of the beginning of 1950, either owned their own farms or were operating jarms which they in some way controlled, ac cording to the Veterans Administra tion. The remaining 7 per cenlt were training on farms owned by others. The total number of veterans in farm' training was 347,000. Nearly all the veteran farm owners, Veteran Administration reported, had small family-type farms. The veteran nn them did most of the work himself, with some help from members of his immediate family,. In thia nroeram. however, the farm must be large enough to meet the re ininment of beinor nronerlv eauinoed and large enough to keep the veteran husv on a full-time scale. It must also be productive enough to bring a satisfactory, income, at least, by the end of the training program. Another requirement is that the farm is of a nature to permit instruc tion in all aspects of farm manage ment, of the type in which the veteran in heimr trained. His agricultural instructor visits the farmer at regular intervals for practical demonstrations and inspection, in addition to the weekly class room work which is re quired. Bankers Interested In Conserving Soil "North Carolina farmers are just as poor as their soil is, and bankers, being sensitive to economic conditions, uunmrmam conserving th soil and rW ing It- aa opopmmty- - aeaira sm production."

This can be accomplished only tnrougn Bet ter farming, the very foundation of our economy. Myrick pointed out that more than 4,500 students in 80 counties partici nated in thia vear's conteBt. In ad dition, Negro students in 16 counties were given an opportunity to com pete in a special division for the first time. The Nesrro contest, he added, will be enlarged gradually until it covers the whole btate. Mvrick nraked the bankers of the State, countv farm and home agents, Extension Service personnel of State Coliem and A. and T. College, vnn- cmala and teachers, and the students themselves for cooperating so whole heartedly in carrying out tne pro gram. Drive Now On To Aid Disabled Vets World War I veterans 'have reason to be interested in another "big push" the state-wide drive on the part of all veteran service officers to aid all rfimble veterans who are ipermanent- ly and totally disabled and unable to earn a living. Workinz with service officers of the counties as well as all veterans or ganizations, the North Carolina Vet erans Commission has prepared and distributed a comprehensive bulletin on this tvne of benefit to living dis abled veterans. As to veterans who are eligible, it states: "A veteran of World War I or II, released from ser vice under conditions other than dis honorable, determined by the Veterans Administration to have one or more non-service-connected disabilities that permanently and totally prevent him from earning a livelihood, may be awarded a pension of $60 monthly, provided his income is not over $1,000 annually if single, or $2,500 annually if he has a wife or dependent child. Age of the veteran is an important factor in qualifying, and requirements are relaxed materially at ages 55, 60 and 65.

CARE OF THKOATAND NECK "Well, whatever she uses on her face, she neglects to put on her neck and throat," 'was the catty remark about a lady whose face was passing far but whose throat and neck screech ed to the observer that Father Time was leaving his marks upon them. If negletced, the throat takes re venge by proclaiming the age of the possessor with unerring accuracy. Lines and wrinkles come which finally fall into folds and deep creases. No woman can be even passably good looking with a throat such as I have described. -A surprising number of women be stow some care upon their faces, but never extend such attentions to their throats, and the result is bound to be disastrous. The neck is peculiarly susceptible to discoloration of various kinds. It is the favorite place for the deposit of ugly born spots, which give the effect of grime and dirt. It is a common thing to see women with half the neck covered on the sides by brown pigmented splotches. What must be done about it? Get up in the morning and thank your Creator" for all the mercies that He has so abundantly bestowed upon you, then go to an open window, raise your hands and arms to a level with the shoulders and breathe deeply. With your lungs full of air, contract the hands and arms and breathe out with resistance. You do this by try ing to bold jr I "v 'Z1 y"'i slowly ejpCuij ii l.v.
