the top of hot-water radiators which
should be opened every month or
so to allow air to escape and be
replaced by the water. The radiator
will then heat over the entire sur
face.
The hot-air furnace usually de-
livers heat through one large grill
set in the floor or through several
ducts leading into the various rooms
of the house. Usually the large
pipes coming out of the furnace are
uncovered,
AS result, the hot air is con-
siderably chilled while passing
through them and is only warm
when it leaves the ducts.
This is cured by covering the ex-
posed ducts in the basement with
asbestos paper, which should be
wrapped around them and secured
by wire. In many cases, the tenn
perature of the air leaving the ducts
has been raised 20 or 30 per cent
by this simple job.
AS a rule, the heating plant in

requirements, but people seem to

Many of the plants in use today
are automatic, which means that
motors and controls are involved.
These merit cleaning and oiling at
regular intervals. A good check
over every year is well worth the
cost and may save many Of dollars
in repairs.
When it comes to the question Of
fuel and good combustion, you will
get clew by looking at the chimney

fuel you use, if the amount of
smoke exceeds a light haze, the ad-
justment is wrong and you are vast

Sanitary Privy Drive
Urged BY Health Bd.

Mr.. Beckett made a plea that 10
cal boards of health make systema-
tic attempts to have the property
in their towns connected to sewer
lines where these exist and to in
stall new sanitary pit privies or re-
habilitate old ones in the unSeWer-
ed areas.
DR.. Niles stated that there is ur-
gent need for more cooperation and
coordination of activities between
! the State Board of Health and the
many local boards already in exis-
tance and said that he believed
this can be furthered through such
means as the. institute, where the
various problems involved were
freely discussed.
1t was pointed out that rules anC
regulations pertaining to the, con
Meeting of sewers and the installa
tion of sanitary pit privies have beer
adopted by the State Board o

, the mayor and town council, o
local board of health, to enfOrc
such regulations. Although tn
= services of the Division of SAM
tary Engineering are available t
) the communities, the duty of en-
forcement rests primarily with tn
y local health and police officials.
t Mr.. Beckett stated that during tn
past two decades considerable wOr

towns TO install sewage system

z ones. During the WPA period, som

WALLACE MARKET
In LAST z DAYS
Mart Nears End OF Most
Successful Season In
History

WALLACE, Nov. 11-With the
Amistic Day holiday aside, the
Wallace Tobacco Market will
move into its final two days OF
sales for the 1947 season tomor-
row.
With its seasonal goal of 15,-
100000 pounds just $4,000 and
some odd pounds away, the mar
ket is winding up its most sue
cessful season in history-and one
of the most successful seasons OF
any one-sale market anywhere.
The last issue of official gov
ernment reports, released late IN
October, showed that Wallace lea
all markets in all flue-cured belts
for number of pounds of tobacco
sold per set of buyers. These fig
ures also showed that Wallace
had the highest price average Tor
any market in the Eastern North
Carolina belt.
While much of the tobacco in
this area has been sold since those
figures were released, Wallace
has continued to run up almost
amazing daily sales and has main
tanned its high position for price
averages. Since the market went
out of the "block" a few weeks
ago. there hasn't been a single
sales day when there haven't
