If you can, this is your best bet. In general, most house plants need as much light as can be sup plied, especially in winter. They all need plant food for vigorous growth. Directions given on the small packages of complete fer tilizer unsually work very well. Watering must be done very carefully. Perhaps more plants are lost, or do not grow well, be cause of improper watering than any other one factor In house plant care. First provide bottom drainage when the pot is filled with soil. Use enough water, at room temperature (rainwater Is good) to completely moisten the soil. Do not water again until the soil feels dry to the touch Small pots will dry out fastest and the water lost my transpira tion will he greater during dry sunny weather than on dark rainy days. ! Plants do best in well-ventila | ted rooms, but drafts should be avoided. Remove blossoms as they fade and pick off dead lea ves. Keep foliage clean by spray ing or washing as needed. Dis card old plants and replace with new ones. Watch out for scale insects, red spiders, mealy bugs, etc., and use the material best suited , foi control.

Penalty Notice PENALTY OF ONE PERCENT ON UNPAID 1961 TAX ACCOUNTS APPLIES February 2, 1962 riNAL DAY FOR PAYING 1961 TAXES AT PAR IS Thursday, February 1 PAY NOW AND AVOID PENALTY City Of Kings Mountain Health And Safety Tips From The American Medical Association The United States is in the midst of an unusually severe winter, with sub-freezing temper atures alii over the nation, even in Southern Florida and the Rio Grande Valley oif Texas. Many states and regions have undergone their severest eold weather in many years, with a subsequent sharp in more or less severe injuries from intense cold Be alert for beginning cold in jury before tissue damage be comes severe, cautions Today’s Health, the magazine of the A merican Medical Association. A badly affected part, such as the ears or toes, may become aggra vatingly sensitive to cold. Early symptoms of frostbite may be mild; soon the nerve endings i that give warning do nott func tion. Once affected the body part should be warmed quickly. Im mersion in lukewarm — no hot _ water, or a warm wet towel will help. Hot water bottles should be wrapped, not placed directly against the skin. Lack ing heated water, use warm blankets. Do not rub the affect ed part. Give a hot liquid, such as coffee. Usually it is best not to open the blisters. For cases of prolonged expos , ure to cdld, place the victim in a tub of warm water, or wrap him well. Keep the water warm, test ing often, and the room warm, with some humidity. After re covery begins, dry the victim tho roughly, but don't rub damaged tissue. Then wrap him well and give a hot drink. If the frozen ear or toe does not respond to warming treatment, call your doctor at once. Is your household properly equipped to handle minor illness es and accidents? Probably not. Most of us would have to make a quick trip, to the drug store to meet most minor family emer gencies. There are a few staple items that it would be well to include in your stock of medical supplies, As listed in Today’s Health, the rrtagazine.of tlje American Medi cal Association, these include: Aspirin, to help get rid' of headaches or the aches and pains accompanying a cold.. ...■ Calamine lotipn for minor skin irritations, Insect bites and the early stages of poison ivy. A cough syrup containing soo thing ingredients and no habit forming drugs. Petrolatum for chapped skin and superficial burns, cuts, and bruises. . t ’ Adhesive bandages, roll band ages, sterile gauze pads and ad hesive tape. An oral thermometer, and a rectal one for small children. A bulk or mild saline laxative for Occasional use. (Epsom salts and rubbing alco hoi. Sick room supplies such as hot water bottle, ice bag, vaporizer, enema bag, medicine droppers, tongue depressors, tweezers, scissors, a handy rfereace pois on chart and a good first aid ma nual. Antiseptic for wounds. Don't bother with antiseptic for minor cuts. Hot water and soap will do a good job. A final word of caution: Keep yv>ur medical supplies out of the reach of small children. The candy-coated aspirin are fine for children, but they also are temp ting and children sometimes will sa t the whole bottle of the small sills, with dire results. There are other useful house- j bold medical supplies and equip ment, but those listed here will handle most minor home ail ments and injuries. Don’t try to, treat a more serious illness or injury yourself. Call your doc tor. AF Nursing Positions Open "One of the most serious per sonnel requirements in the Air Force today is that for nurses,” j local Air Faroe Recruit ins: Ser geant May announced. “This is one of the few categories of per sonnel that the Air Force is not; equipped to train for itself. We, have to rely on civilian nursing schools and hospitals." How then does the Air Force manage to attract these nurses into the ranks of the Air Force; Nurse Corps? The Sergeant was gfllad to explain. "We do it by offering a com bination of high pay and impor tant ‘fringe benefits.’ For exam ple, the starting pay of an Air Force Nurse corresponds to her civilian experience since we offer Air Force commissions anywhere from Second Lieutenant to (Ma jor. The more experienced a nur se may be, the higher her start ing salary. In addition, we offer many benefits that are unheard; of in civilian hospitals.” The Sergeant named some of j these for us. The list was quite impressive, including such things; as free laundry service for white, hospital uniforms, free medical and dental care, free living quar-; tors or a cash allowance for hou-j sing, free word-wide travel in a snare - available baste on Air Force planes, and many others. Small wonder that s» many qual ified nurses are seeking out their Air Force Recruiter. 1 AGRICULTURE IN ACTION By WALLACE PARKER, N. C. Farm Bureau Federation N. G.’a OLDEST COMMODITY HOLD ANNUAL MEETING In hrs annual report to the 40 or 50 growers present at th* Sandhill Peach Research Station on Jan. 23, Clyde Auman, presi dent of North Carolina Peart Growers Society, pointed out tha much has been done during th* past year to advertise in this state but he indicated out of stat advertising is needed to read the large buyers. “If we are going to sell peaches,’’ he said, ,fWe an going to have to get in advertis ing on a national hookup.” The growers provide the fund i to advertise peaches.

The growers heard A. C. Pish Horticuilitural Department at N C. State College, say that me chanical harvesting ol peaches is a long way off, because, aside from high cost, too many peach es are bruised When harvested mechanically. Nevertheless, Fish indicated that much work in be ing done in Michigan and Cali foria to find a way to harvest peaches with machinery because i of the cost of labor in those sta , tes. lj Clarence Black, superintendent ! of the Sandhills Research Station, ; warned that people from Pure ’ Food and Drug Administration j will be checking peaches this year .'for chemicals when the peaches ! are being prepared for market [ and cautioned the farmers to use only the recommended amounts of chimicals. 1 In his remarks at the lunch eon, D. S. Coltrane, chairman of > N. C. Advisory Budget Commis J sion, related to the peach grow ers how and where the State re ceives and spends its income. He L showed that most of the State’s i income comes from sales and In , come taxes, with more coming i from personal income tax than I from corporate income tax. He .indicated that most (80 percent) of the $707 million designated j for the General Fund for the l biennium will be spent for edu | cation, welfare, and hospital and j health, with the largest portion ■ (60 per cent) going for education. neynoias wins Good Conduct Medal U.
