POULTRYMEN ARE
URGED TO PURCHASE
CHICKS OF QUALITY

Many Maryland farmers and poul-
trymen should purchase more chicks
of superior quality so as to replace
inefficient, worn out layers, says DR..
Morley A. JUL, head Of the Univer-
sity of Maryland poultry department.
He points out that few farmers real
ize how rapidly their hens become in
efficient.
DR.. JUL declared that Maryland
hens do not wear out from overwork
as the average egg production in the
State is only ITO eggs per bird, and
should be $50 for profit. He says
that yearling and older hens for the
most part lay too few eggs for their
keep because they do not come from
bred-to-lay stock.
Not enough Maryland flock owners
appreciate the fact that their year.
ling and older hens only lay about
rs percent as many eggs as the pull
lets. This means that if pullet lays
$50 eggs during her first laying year
she will only lay about ITO eggs dur
ing her second year and that will not
much more than pay her feed bill.
For this reason, laying flocks kept
for market egg production should be
composed very largely of pullets.
Practically all yearling and older
hens and about two-thirds of the pull
lets should be culled out each year.
If farmer has a flock of say
$50 pullet and so yearlings he should
Gull out all but so of the pullets by
the end of the year. These so pull
lets will aid with the next years
breeding work and in addition he will
need $50 new pullets to put in the
house next fall. In order to raise
$50 pullets he will need to buy at
least $40 chicks of superior bred-to-
lay quality because one-half of these
will be cockerels, some will be lost
through average mortality, and some
will need to be culled out at the time
of housing.

VIRGINIA ROTARY CLUB
HOLDS LADIES NIGHT

The Cape Charles Rotary Club is
making elaborate plans for its an
nual Ladies' Night, which this year
will be held on the evening of Feb
ruary 21st, in the fellowship hall of
the First Presbyterian church.
The speaker will be Strickland Gil
liam, humorist, author and afterdinner
speaker, and there will be other fea-
ture attractions.
Known throughout America for his
skill in the Interpretation of his fell
low man, his shrewd political obser-
vations, as well as for his creative
ability, humor, philosophy and adap-
liability. Strickland Gillian has been
characterized by Bruce Barton as
"the best after-dinner speaker in
America"
He is quoted extensively in Modern
Eloquence, his verses are in the an
thologies and are asked for more
often by the authors name than those
Of any other living poet in the ques-
ton and answer department of the
New York Sunday Times.
It is unusual that a speaker of such
ealiber should appear in so small a
community and the Rotary club is
exceedingly fortunate in having Sc
cured Strickland Gillian for the 21st.
The club has for years sustained
a high reputation for program build
ing both in it's weekly dinner meet
ings and on special occasions, and
this years ladies' night, to which
many guests will be invited, will I'M
doubtedly rank well up in the list.

BOY SCOUTS ARE
PREPARING FOR
WORLD EVENTS

To mark it's 31st birthday, the Boy
Scouts of America is continuing an
active program to prepare the youth
Of this country to take its place in
dealing with world conditions.
Scouting officials have drawn up
an extensive emergency service pro-
gram designed to make the boys of
the United States of more value in
times of crisis. DIR. James E. West,
Chief Scout Executive, in announcing
the plan said: at is the responsibility
of everyone identified with Scouting
m normal times, and certainly in a
period of national emergency, to be
alert and vigilant to meet every OPP
portunity for services, not only be-
cause of the obligation but because
of the special training which the pro-
gram of Scouting gives to boys in
Patrols and Troops and through the
development of qualities of leader
ship on the part of older boys and
Scouters."
Giving new significance to the Boy
Scout Motto: "Be Prepared" the
Scout Movement has begun inten-
aive training for the boys in its men,
hership in all things which will make
them more reliant and capable, in en-
Urgency situations. Scouts are being
trained in observation, Identification
and memory through thorough
knowledge of their home commune
ties.
The boys are being trained in swim
ming, Craftsmanship, boating, proper
methods of running messages, as well
rs how to travel under adverse con-
ditions. Stressing the necessity of
clean living, the program emphasizes
outdoor life, giving the Scouts train
ing in camping with and without shell
ter, the preparation of food, and
knowledge of woodcraft lore.
Calling to mind the long list of
Scout heroes who have received med
ais for saving life, local Scoutmas-
ters are teaching their boys safety
methods for dealing with firearms,
cutting tools, and fire, as well as in
struction in methods of water rescues
and first aid for the seriously injur-
Cd.
Rural Scouts are playing an impor-
tant part in this emergency service
program through raising garden
truck for food, studying the impor-
lance of food and its conservation,
raising birds and animals for food,
as we'll as fish Matching.
Although in no way advocating mil
ikary training for the forty seven
thousand Scout Units throughout the
country, the Scout Movement has
recognized the necessity of preparing
the youth of the United States for eff
ficient and valuable service to the
country in time of emergency. Scout
service in times of recent crisis, such
ms the hurricane disasters of New
England and Florida, has shown the
value of the Boy Scout training in
first aid, signaling, pathfinding, SAT-
ETY. and use of knife and axe.
The Boy Scouts of America in or
ganizing this emergency service pro-
gram has joined with 16 other or
CARNATIONS of the Citizenship Educa-
tional Service in issuing this state
nent: "While recognizing the urgent
necessity for military preparedness,
we are deeply convinced that the para
mount need in national defense is the
strengthening and inauguration of
democracy in the United States. This
we propose to do through our respec-
tive programs of activity and educa-
tion."
