' Tz 12-Tht Perqulmtni Wttkly, Christmas Gifts It's simple fact. 'Ti wife of a man who hunts or flshea , often has trouble finding a suitable Christmas gift for her spouse. "Promise him anything, but give him a .necktie" teema to be a fairly common cop out. v.'. But to be fair about It, the wife who neither hunts' nor fisheshas no Idea where to begin to look for a gift, and if she asks her husbind point-blank what he wants, the pleasant element of surprise is lost. The following is a list of gifts which should please most sportsmen, A good knife comes close to being a sure bet, The chances are that he already, has a good pocketknlfe, so consider something a little more elaborate. Several companies offer . hunting knives with a single blade which folds into the handle so that it may be carried safely and easily. The blades on these knives are usually about four inches long, and they lock We wish all jolly good cheer for the holidays! Thank you for your patronage. Darden Department Store will be closed Dec 25th and 26th : DAnDEN DEPARTMENT ST0I1E HERTFORD, N. C. AE.I3EMAC2ILG .CHEMICAL "COMPANY. 'INC v Hertford, N. Cn Thunday, Dtctmbtr 23, 1971 . in the open position to keep them from closing' inad vertently.. For the man who hunts small game (and oc casionally deer), t is an ideal gift. Anglers and campers also find such knives useful. They are not cheap, ranging In price from about $15 to more than $25. At that price, they are a once in. a lifetime item for most sports men, and rare is the man who wouldn't like to own one Do you know your hubby's shirt size? If so, a good hunting shirt would be another Ideal choice. My preference is for a 100 percent virgin wool shirt in a fairly bright plaid. Such a shirt will probably cost about IIS to $17, and it takes a lot of hard use to wear one out. Some men cannot wear wool comfortably, and in case your husband scratches furiously In wool, get him a good, heavy flannel shirt. The best flannel shirts usually cost about $8 to $10, and come in scarlet, green, or beige. As the holiday season f )Fty$i(t!? unfolds with all its K&T merriment and masric. we send greetings in the good old-fashioned spirit of "dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh," and wish you many memorable dellghts.To all our friends and customers, our hearty thanks for a year of good will. LIQUID FERTILIZER - For Sportsmen A vacuum bottle for keeping coffee hot, or Iced tea cold is another gift which would please any sportsman. You can buy them at reasonable prices $3 to about $5 but you might consider getting a really fine unbreakable stainless steel vacuum bottle. If so, the cost will range from about $14 to $18. If you buy him a vacuum bottle, the quart size will be most useful. Another pretty good gift might be a lamp, waste basket or set of bookends with an outdoor flavor. For instance, a lamp with a duck scene on it would look splendid in a duck hunter's den., Prices for such items will vary widely. If ;your husband is the type who tends to get caught in the rain, a good hooded rain parka might appeal to him. Avoid those priced for less than about $10. They are not very durable. It Is at least as Important to know what NOT to buy your husband, and the list is fairly " x'L PURHIA PRODUCTS long. Generally; the-rule of thumb is, to avoid anything costing more than about $25 unless he has given you a handwritten requst. Sports men are funny about their equipment, A guri-orrod is a highly personal item.' and you would be wise to leave:, the buying of such Items to him. Ditto tackle boxes, bird dog puppies, fishing lures, boots, fishing vests, hunting coats, and other things which don't come readily to mind. -: You would, of course, never consider many of these things, but that's Just as well, Most sportsmen either know exactly what they want, or. buy. only after impressive pondering. , On second thought, maybe you ought to Just get him a tie.

Permits fpr the movement of swine for anv Duroose will no longer be" required in North" Carolina after January 1, J972. North ' Carolina Com misstoner of Agriculture iarftes Abraham, resetader-the fegulation today due -to the conunuea success in tne nog cholera eradication program, "In July, 1969 hog cholera had reachedepldemlcproportions. It became necessary to require permits,, issued by the state veterinarian or his authorised representative, for any movement of swine except those - going to immediate slaughter,'' Graham explained. "There has not been a case of hog cholera in North Carolina since June t and for that reason I am lifting the permit requirement. "However," he continued, when moving swine to market, it will be necessary for the owner or his agent to sign a statement to the effect that the hogs in the consignment have been kept on his premises for at least the past 14 days, have not had access to garbage and have not been in contact or exposed to sick swine." The commissioner had high praise for the County Extension Agents, vo-ag teachers, practicing veterinarians, State Veterinarian Dr; T.F. Zweigart and his staff, and Dr. W.W. Harkins, USDA Veterinarian. "Without their constant work and vigilance we would still have this killer disease menacing our swine industry. Enough cannot be said in their behalf." . Graham concluded saying that even though great strides had been made in the fight against hog cholera all existing rules and regulations governing swine must be observed and. enforced -j V ; Although times have changed, one thing never changes: i ' ' ' ' , the feeling of good cheer and friendship during the "Thank C3MLL , ; Banker's Farm Activities A-sfa Win National Award The continuing record of service which the N.C..
