WACS CELEBRATE
lST ANNIVERSARY

CAMP DAVIS, May %. - The
WACs Of the station complement,
who will mark their first anniver-
sary of activation at Camp Davis
tomorrow received on the eve OF
this event a commentator from
Camp Commander Col. Adam E.
Potts.
In this brief year since it's con-
stitution at Camp Davis" the COM
mendation read in part, ''the men,
bers of this detachment have, in
their prescribed fields, willingly
and cheerfully accepted full re-
sponsibilty and never faltered in
any task. The high standards of
performance which have charac-
terized their work has been m in
spiration to the military pc s-nr ell
of this command, both sexes, and
greatly enhanced the prestige of
the Women's Army Corps"
Since the arrival of the station
complement WAC detachment
year ago, two other detachmentS
have been activated at Camp Da-
Wis, the AAA School WAC detach-
ment, and a branch of station COM

He added purebred sires from time
to time from some of the best
herds of America. But to visit this
farm and to see the well-kept
premises, the excellent pastures
the acres of grazing crops, and
the great herd of cattle one would
never believe that Mr.. McEachern
had ever experienced any trouble
with his herd.
HAD NO TROUBLE
For several years after he began
his herd, the dairyman continued
to grow truck crops and to buy
practically all Of the feed for his
cows.
"As long as I did this" he said.
I had no trouble. The cows would
produce their young and the calves
would grow off nicely to reach a
strong, well-developed size IN the
usual time of two or three years.
My feed was coming, of course.

and if something was lacking in
that which came from one place.
perhaps 1T was compensated for in
that which came from another
place. l decided, however, to de-
vote my main attention 10 nv
herd, to quit the trucking business,
and to use the land to grow my
own feedstuffs."
1t was then that Mr.. McEachern
began to run into trouble. For in
stance, he tried to grow alfalfa
but never had much success with
it until L. G. Willis, soil chemist
and research man in charge of the
Soils Laboratory maintained in
New Hanover County by the State
College Experiment Station, found
out that about Is pounds of borax
should be added per acre to the
soil.
The dairyman used two tons of
ground limestone per acre, 400
pounds of SIS fertilizer, and
about 600 pounds of basic Stag.
along with the Is pounds of borax
at planting time in the fall and he
has one of the prettiest fields of
alfalfa to be found in the state.
He says now that he plans to grow
about 100 acres as a result of the
facts he has learned
MIR. Alec as he is known local
ly, has been quick to adopt all the

Assembly Line Homes Win Favor For Postwar Housing
BY SCHUYLER ALTMAN
AP Feature Writer

NEW YORK, May % - The pre-
fabricated house which even q
British prime minister mistakenly
believes is something cooked up
quickly in a factory and served all
in one helping - is likely to be a
big factor in postwar building.
That is the considered opinion
of the committee on postwar re-
construction of the American In
stitute of Architects, which argues
that greater use of prefabrication
should be encourage for economy
reasons.
If the postwar builder prefers a
traditional house, or a patio house,
or one of modern functional design
as a recent survey by Small
Homes Guide Indicates - then pre-
fabrication can provide it.
Prefabricators thus were dismay-
ed, says Arthur c. Holden, vice
chairman of the committee, when
Prime Minister Churchill recently
rose to the microphone for a dis
cussion on British housing prob
ems, and classed prefabricated
houses as emergency buildings.
On the walls of Holden's office
ire pictures of various houses,
;ome of them prsfabricated, all
having the same sturdy, perma-
lent air.
AL that prefabrication means, he
avs, is the manufacture in the
actory of as much of the house
is possible - windows, doors, wall
md floor panels, and the like.
Prefabrication does not have to
present the facade of a barracks.

laws and building codes put on the
use of building materials.
In the interest of fire-prevention,
many cities require brick and
plaster or tile and platter walls in
certain areas, and will not allow
the use of new fireproof panels of
asbestos and other such material.
''Architects," says the commit
tee, "should be freed from the
damaging effect of trade restric-
tons, combinations to prevent the
introduction of new methods and
materials, and archaic, over-re
strictive and too specific building
codes," Such factors may retard
development of materials, like

makes it fairly certain that the

Ger said, the only safe procedure
is to avoid using the streams ex-
cept for boating purposes.
The most common means of dis

ton to carriers is through polluted
soil, food and drink, particularly
milk and water. The house fly
may also spread the disease.

Eastern Carolina is great crop
country. The sandy loan soils OF
the area are easily worked; they
can be improved through the use
of legumes; and, they respond we'll
to applications of fertilizers and
limestone.
High acre yields of hay crops,
both in summer and winter, may
be secured and for that reason thu
great coastal plain area of North
Carolina should be a place where
livestock can be produced econom-
ically and profitably.
AS matter of fact, the section
is noted for its production of finish
ed hogs for market but dairying
and beef cattle production has de-
veloped more slowly. With the
knowledge becoming more general
about how to establish pasture sods
and how to Craze farm woodlands
in combination beef and timber
producing enterprise: however,
these cattle growing ventures are
becoming more frequent and some
of the fine herds of both beef and
dairy cows are to be found in the
area.
In some parts of the east, grow
ers have found that their young
animals, particularly, do not de-
velop properly. Every livestock
man knows that he cannot get very
far in livestock farming unless he
produces the great bulk Of his feed
on the home farm. This must be in
the form of pacture, hay, grazing
crops, or silage To a less extent,
the grain feed is produced. Some
times when an eastern livestock
man depends entirely upon his
homegrown supplies for the rough
age for his cattle, he runs into
1t ceems that some
thing is lacking in the sandy soils
of that area and the more sand in
the soil, the more acute is the sit
uation.
This is exactly what "A. o. Nc
Eachern of Wilmington, Route 2,
found out was happening to him.
Mr.. McEachern runs one of the
best diaries to be found in eastern
North Carolina. In fact, he may
be classed as pioneer dairyman
for that section, and he has de-
feloped fine herd of Holstein cat
tie as definite contribution to

Greater use of light-wheel metals
