Schaub Urges Tar Heel Farmers
Not Let Barns Be Rat Hotels

Practically every farm in
North Carolina harbors at least
a few rats, says Director 1. o.
Schaub of the State College Ex-
tension Service, and he points out
that rats with plenty to eat are
hard to trap or poison.
Thousands of bushels of grain
destroyed by rats each year is
not the only damage these pests
cause. They are carriers of Bu-
bonic plague, typhus, and other
deadly diseases.
Rats never take vacations.
They may raise 6 or more litters
per year with from to % in
each litter. Ignoring the death
rate, the offspring from one pair
of rats could exceed 350,000,000
in 3 years.
The population can be quickly
reduced, however, by using i'm
proved modern control methods,
and now is the time to put those
control methods into effect.
Rats cannot be eliminated if
they have places to hide. Piles
of rubbish, stacks of lumber or
other material, and wooden
floors close to the ground are
favorite hiding places for rats.
Many farms have. several such
hiding places close to granaries
or other food supplies. Such
combination is a perfect rat
hotel"
Do not let your farm become
a rat hotel" Remove rat shell
tiers rubbish piles, especially
those near buildings. Pile lumber
and other material on racks at
least a foot above the ground.
Replace wooden feeding floors
with concrete, wherever possible.
Otherwise, raise them a foot or
more above the ground, or pre-
vent rats burroWing under them
by surrounding with an under
ground barrier of concrete, sheet
metal, or hardware cloth.
Director Schaub urges every
North Carolina resident to join
in the statewide rat control cam
paign which is scheduled TO be
held the first week In December,
In cooperation with the Predator
and Rodent control division Of

Stress Grain SAVING

Animal Husbandry specialists

BRANCHES

The NAACP continued it's phenomenal growth in 1946 by the establishment of 179 branch es, more than have ever been organized in any one year and the effectuation on a level in these new communities of action programs to combat segregation and discrimination. The great strength of the Association lies in its life line of branches op- erated chiefly by volunteers in most communities. In larger cities where the problems of industrial life and race conflict are more acute, not only has there been a trend toward ln- creased membership in the NAACP, but branches in larger communities have set up full time operating offices with Ex- ecutive Secretaries. These pro- fessional workers have material ly aided development of the Association. All branches i'll NAACP have supplied the Ma tional Office with effective me dia through which the voice of 535, ,OO0 members could be heard effectively in local communities, through state organizations, and providing implementation of National program.
 The Department sought to guide branches in carrying out Association program through directives, action letters, sug- gestions for programs, etc.

POLITICAL ACTION

In September the Association adopted a revised political ac- ton program in accordance with resolution of the Cincin- nati Convention, calling for non-endorsement of candidates and urging branches to examine non-partisan problems affecting local or state issues and author izing them to give active sup port to their position taken on referendum, bond issues, char tering, constitutional amend ments. Each branch was urged to conduct a registering and voting drive.
 With the exception of one branch and a youth council, there was an attempt on the part of the branches to carry out the political action program an dpolicy. At the request of the Washington Bureau, many branches queried Congressional candidates on issues affecting minority groups. Outstanding political action activity was noted by the State Conferences in Virginia, Texas, and New Jersey and by branches in De troit, Michigan; Cincinnati, O.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Baltimore,

 Washington, D. c. Dear Senators,
 It is the feeling of many peo- pie in this area, after a careful reading of published reports, that you can uphold the dignity and prestige of the Senate by voting to refuse to seat Theo- dore G. Bilbo as Senator. His actions, together with his atti- tude, indicate a clear lack of standards of common decency. I sincerely hope that you will consider this a matter of nation al concern and that you will not judge this case on the basis of standards which may exist in the State of Mississippi.

 Sirs:
 Enclosed find a check for my subscription for one year and if space permits would appre- ciate following word to my good friends and co-workers.
 "So often this frequently used statement, "Out of sight, out of mind,'' is too true, but the Holiday just passed bellies this fact.
 Were I to return greeting for greeting, both Uncle Sam and those commercialized concerns who have invaded this fertile realm would continue to in- crease their already famulous gains, so permit me, from the Capital of Penn's Woods to the Capital of my native State, Con- necticut, wish for those with whom I was permitted to labor, the continued joy that comes only to those who delight in their labors, Religiously, Fra ternally and Socially.
 Only a short year of Happy Team work was permitted us, then Mrs. Allie Young Burden passed to her reward, May 28, 1946. Among friends of quarter of a century, in my chosen work, will I continue to labor, not without an anxious thought of what Hartford is doing.
 Very sincerely,

HEALTH FOR ALL
EPILEPSY

| lepSy was pOpuIarly supposed to be the work of witches, al incurable horror in some way associated with mental disorder Today we know better. w, know that the great majority O. persons who have epilepti' seizures are otherwise normal Like other groups they include the brilliant and the dull.
 Epilepsy affects more than 500, 900 people in the United States We do not yet fully understand the cause, but we do know tha- there is apparently a family tendency in about ten million Americans. The epileptic at tack or seizure may be brought on by brain injury or tumor a focus or infection, kidney ol glandular disturbance or ex cessive emotional strain.
 Seizures are of four types In Grand Nal, the patient loses consciousness, the muscles twitch convulsively and occa sionally he falls. It is frighten ing to the onlooker, but rarely hurts the patient. Petit Ma. attacks are more frequent and last only a short time. The eyes roll upward or appear fixed. In psychomotor seizures infrequenty seen, the patient may behave in way contrary to his character and remember none of it afterwards. The Jacksonian type invoves twitch. ing or numbness of the imbs o1 face on one side.
 The electro-encephalograph which amplifies and records the electric waves given off by the brain has recently proved it's value in giving the doctor in: formation about the epileptic patient and helping him to To- cate possible brain injuries which may have brought on the attacks. A special kind of K ray called an encephalogram is also used to discover the where abouts of a tumor or scar. Some cases can then be relieved by an operation on the brain.
 The chief means of increasing the body's resistance to seizures is medicine. The doctor will try different types, alone or in combination, until he finds the right thing for the individual patient. Medicines must be taken regularly, just as the dia- bette takes his insulin. Special diets have been found effective for some children who have Pe- tit Nal seizures.
 It must be emphasized that the epileptic does not need rest or isolation. The doctor will usually prescribe exercise to the point of athletic conditioning Brain and body must be kept busy to avoid personality trou- bles and give the best chance for full recovery.

A VETERAN AT THE PEACE

watching the young men die to win each war and then seeing the old men tumble the peace? This column has complained be- fore of the 'Fhorse-and-buggy diplomats whose methods of human relations are still at the name-calling stage, Here's one thing we might do about them.
 Many a soldier has said, "In the next war let the ones who stir up the war be the first ones to fight it!' That would be an excellent idea for keeping dip- lomatic tempers under control, if it could really be arranged. Since that is unlikely, why not try the reverse?
 By that I mean, why not have the men who did the fight ing help direct international re- lations? Let those who won the war now win the peace. It would be fine if every nation had at least one veteran of World War II among the ad- visors to it's delegation. Let's start the ball rolling by having veteran with the United States delegation.
 Not just 'any veteran, of course, would be an asset to international harmony. Ger tainly this veteran advisor should not be an ex-general or any other person who main tained considerable comfort throughout the war He should be someone who suffered not only the danger but also the downright misery, boredom, and discomfort of war.
 He should also be a man who came back with a better under standing of the foreign peoples he met, and certainly he should be one who can say, '1 believe in freedom and equality for all," without adding an "ex- cept
 My nomination for this ap- pointment would be Charles G. Bolte, author of "The New Vet eran" (if you haven't read it, you are missing an inspiring book), and national chairman of the American Veterans Com mittee.
 Bolte is from Greenwich, Ct., was educated at Dartmouth, and joinned the British Army to fight Hitler six months be- fore this country was at war. He lost leg in the battle of Fl Alamein in North Africa.
 Now Bolte is leading the Veterans Committees struggle for international coop eration. It is a man of his sort who should be appointed as an advisor to the men who write the peace treaties and speak for teh U. s. in the United Nations.
 Any veteran answering this description would have advant- ages which far outweigh the qualifications of experience which present diplomats claim. He mipht tI1rn ont to he A pood
