,4 vik. L';c:3fcr.::;sTo Farm Bureau Executive Vice-JPresi-dent, R. Flake Shaw of Greensboro, called on all peanut producers today to put tWs yer' croP into the loan program and "not sell on the open market at this time. . .. Shaw said the Farm Bureau Peanut Committee has reported ; that com plaints from a number of counties in dicate farmers are upse over receiv ing 1? per pound below . the support price for this year's crop. ' ' - "Peanut cleaners tare apparently at tempting to buy the first peanuts coming to. market right at the, loan rate, which is lc below the support price," he said. Shaw pointed out, "if farmers con tinue to deal with speculators, they will lose about $20 a ton on their peanuts, which they 'could have made had they used the loan program." He said the cleaner's price is about the net price the farmer would re ceive after deductions for storage and inspection fees if the peanuts were put in the loan. "There is a strong feeling among peanut growers that cleaners" should pay the support price or better in view of the supply and demand situa tion," he added. Shaw pointed out that there are about 1,500,000 less bags of Virginia Type peanuts available thjs season. The Farm Bureau Peanut Commit tee " has conferred :, with growers throughout eastern ' Carolina, and strongly recommend tihat they avail themselves of the loan program pro vided through the Growers Peanut Cooperative, which has warehouses li censed throughout the peanut belt readv to make government loans. Shaw said farmers could not lose in such a transaction, "because they can borrow as much on. their peanuts as the cleaners are now paying and have a chance to get back dividends if the neanuts are sold at a profit?' ' - Members of the Farm Bureau Pea nut Committee who made the inves tigation were R. V. Knight, Chair man, of Tarboro; Thomas J. Pearsall, of Battleboro; and C. Gordan Mad drey, of Ahoskle.

Food Handlers School Termed Huge Success The three-day sanitation school for foodhandlers came to a close in Eliza beth City Thursday and was consid ered a great success. Restaurant, lunchroom, fountain, institutional em ployees and others having interest In food sanitation attended this school The total attendance for the three- day session was 428. 3h addition to each county in the four county Health District being represented there were three visitors from Beaufort and one from Dare-Currituck Counties. . The three-day program consisted of informative lectures concerning the various aspects of food sanitation and food service which were delivered' by authorities on these subjects. In ad dition to lectures and demonstrations, several impressive films dealing with methods, relative to good food hand ling procedures were shown. ; ; One interesting demonstration in cluded ,the growing of bacteria from a human hair, finger tips, money, and a sneeze in a food media at body temperature. In so" doing, the food handlers could actually see how bac teria multiply in food and how poor food handling can effect the public's health. '' The food handler was shown how food, drink and utensils can be con taminated with bacteria and then spread disease through failure to ob serve . proper sanitation practices. Correct methods of washing, rinsing, sanitizing and storage of eating-and drinking utensils was stressed, to gether with ' the proper handling of sanitary paper service, safe prac tices in serving food and personal hy giene. It was pointed out that in many places construction and equip ment mas' be of the best, yet the operating procedures may be health endangering. . Health Department officials ex pressed their - gratification with the interest shown by the large number attending. Such fine cooperation is a definite indication that the opera tors sincerely , have the . welfare of their customers t heart and are con tinuously striving to provide the pub lic with better eating places. The im provement in the food handling estab lishments in the Albemarle is re markable. . Such progressive steps as this, together with approaching their operational procedures from an edu cational standpoint by . attending a Food Handlers school should be ap preciated "by' ; the public. ' "Besides, cleanliness' rings the bell with the res taurant patron and keeps the bell on the cash register ringing, too. k : BURGESS.

There is one very common cause for tired or aching legs, viz., varicose veins. Now the arteries come out from the heart and .carry oxygen and nourishment to every part, of the body. They have no valves. " . ' The veins gather the blood that has given up its oxygen and picked up carbon' dioxide conveying it back to the heart Their, walls are much thinner than those of the arteries, and they are , furnished with valves to prevent the blood from flowing back ward, and to keep it moving steadily onward toward the lungs 5to be re- oxygenated and then on to the heart where it will resume its journey again through the arteries to every part of the body. ',-. JSome people are born with very poor - veins. This condition is fre quently hereditary. tWhen veins are abnormally thin , they easily . beeovne stretched and engorged with blood. Thus some valves an? destroyed and there is nothing to prevent stasis ex cepting, the i force of gravity which causes the blood- to fall back into smaller branches of the veins. ., ' The stagnation and engorgement of the Veins, by the slowly moving blood, 'destroy the .tissues gradually instead of properly nourishing them. IWe call such veins varicose." " 1 Just as a iperson is better off with out a diseased tooth so he would fare better without his varicose veins. Such veins are useless, '- . , How does the blood get back to the heart if the veins are too crip pled to perform their functions? Nature has provided a double set of veins in the legs. The ones that we have been talking about are the superficial or surface, veins. There, is a deep set between the muscles of the legs, i The contraction of the muscles squeezing against these veins keep the blood moving in the right direction so they do not . become stretched and varicose. These varicose veins are. larger and tortuous. They cause aching in the legs after standing a short time. Usually the ankles swell toward even ings, but go down during the night.
