In days gone by, white phos-
phorus was employed for the ends
Of matches. Such matches were
dangerous in more ways than one.
Small children sometimes placed
the tips in their mouths and died
from poisoning. Match-workers
used to suffer from the disease
called "phossy jaw" which brought
about q rotting Of the jawbones.
Because Of these dangers the max
ing Of such matches mas been
stopped in almost all countries Of
the world.
Ninety-four years ago, 4 scientist
found q way of obtaining red
phosphorus by heating white phos-
phorus in a closed jar or tank. The
red phosphorus has proved q bless
ing to the human race. It is not
poisonous, and can be handled in
the open air with little or no dan
ger. Workers at match factories
do not suffer from phossy jaw when
red phosphorus is used.

fish, or on some other part of the
body.
Just why deep-sea fish have such
lights Is not well known, but the
lights no doubt help them to know
others of the same kind. A toad
dsh, for example, may see the lights
arranged in certain way, and then
know he has found another toad

Fireflies and glow-worms have
fights which glow in the dark. The
Mexican click-beetle, one form of

Nature also has made a glowing

At party one time the host de-
cided that good way to entertain
the guests would be to have a kind
of spelldown except that instead of
spelling they would write out a lot
of simple questions and see how fast
the guests could answer them. The
questions were easy but the person
asked had to answer Immediately
without any hesitation. The ques-
tions got around to Peter Ponder
head and he was asked, What is
one-third Of six?" Peter knew that
he had to answer in a hurry and
since he was the kind of person who
only comes to the correct answer
after thinking carefully he answered,

one person said, If that's right

morning devotions, using as the basis
of his talk PauIs experience of con-
version, paralleling with John Yves

Noting North Carolinians spent an
estimated $1OO,O00,O00 last year for
food supplies in other states and $751;

said:

crops"
'"The farmer is confronted with the
fact of a tremendous surplus of both
tobacco and cotton" he continued. IF
there is no control, then the prospect
is that there will be another record
breaking production of each, and the
danger is that prices will go far be-
low the cost of productions for all
business"
Meantime, Senator Robert Reynolds
said here he considered the new farm
act "as good as could be produced at
the time, because it was based on in
formation available to the authorities
at the time"
