WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, N. C.,
Nov 10. - Forty survivors of the
smog which killed 20 persons at
Donora, Pa, recently settled down
at this North Carolina resort today,
just sitting and resting for the pres

The group, guests of the Whining
ton and Wrightsville Beach Junior

plane from Pittsburgh yesterday for
weeks vacation, with all expenses
paid.
This is simply marvellous" one
Of the vacationers commented as
the group alighted at nearby Will

city officials and several hundred
spectators.
Miss Kay Weir. 26, is the young
est; Mrs. Lydia Little, "a, the oldest.
They commented for all: We've
never had anything like this-and
they even greeted us with flowers"
They were chosen among cardiac
and asthma victims who suffered
the most in the four day smothering

McGrath Next Week
BY the kssociofsd Press

Senator McGrath, Democrat, of
Rhode Island said yesterday he will
testify next week before commit
tee headed by Senator Tobey, Re-
publican. of New Hampshire which
is investigating the 125,o00, 900
Textron Corp.
Senator McGrath, Democratic ma
tional chairman, told news con-
ference he thinks some improve
ments" may be necessary in the tax
laws with respect to the provisions
which Senator Tobey's committee is
investigating.
Senator McGrath has been listed
by Royal Little, Textron president,
as one of three trustees of the
Rhode Island Charities Trust. Mr..
Little testified at Boston in October
that the Rhode Island fund grew
from $500 and some stock" to a
S4,5O0, 900 organization.
Senator Tobey said during the
Boston hearings that trusts of this
nature had been used as schemes
to avoid taxes and put the burden
on the little people of the country
Mr.. Little replied that he created
such trusts for charity and never re-
ceved personal gain from them.
Senator McGrath said he plans to
return to Rhode Island for the
Thanksgiving holiday and may tes-
tify before that time. He said he
would not be able to appear Monday

If you don't want your message
of holiday good cheer to wind up in
the dead letter office be extremely
careful in addressing your Christ
mas greetings, postal authorities
pointed out this week, as a flood of
Yultide mail started to pour through
post office channels.
Careless addressing of Yuletide
mail spells trouble for the sender,
and extra headaches for postal
clerks at a season when they al
ready are working around the clock
to keep the mail moving.
Prompt mailing also is urged for
those who want to be sure their
greetings reach friends and relatives
before the Yuletide. All packages and
Christmas cards for out-of-tate de-
livery should have been in the post
office the early part of last week,
and all cards for local delivery
should be mailed at least one week
before Christmas
DON'T LICK AND PAT
Stamps should be affixed carefully,
postal workers said. Don't just give
stamps a lick and a pat, and hope
they stay fixed to the envelope.
Chances are when handled that way
they will fall off enroute.
Addresses should be plainly writ
ten and complete. That means the
full name, house number, street,
name of city, zone number and The
state. Remember msch holiday mail
is delivered by emergency carriers
who haven't the slightest idea where
the "Wilson family" lives ION Oak
street.

Tips Gained in Raising
5000 Turkeys
By H. D. BISCHOFF
Big Horn County. Wyoming

WE, MR.. E. v. HOWE and I,
w raised about 5000 turkeys last
year. 1t was our first experience
with them and we got off to a bad
start by losing almost 1000 poults
when our gas heating equipment
froze up on us.
In raising the remaining 5000, we
found oats to be an excellent feed.
We also fed two brands of CONNER
cial feeds and found them both very
satisfactory. Our experience led us
to believe that too much salt is not
good for turkeys. If there is any
chance for the birds to get salt in
their water, and medicines, fish
meal, ETC., are given, the salt put
into rations should not exceed ".
of l percent.
Turkeys should have more than
one kind of grain before them at all
times. We fed in s~elf-feeders oats,
wheat, barley and prepared feeds.
Calcium and grit were also supplied
in self-feeders.
One of our chief problems was
turkeys picking each other.

Grass on Clay

NOTHING would grow on clay

my hay meadow. Irrigation water
would not soak in but ran right
through onto lower ground and
washed out bitches.
Last spring / spread about 6 inches
of alfalfa straw on this ground,
broadcast clover and timothy seed
and flood irrigated. I found that the
result was quite satisfactory and
believe I have a dandy stand.
Care must be taken when irrigat-

with straw and any bare spots cov-
cred, or the water will not soak in
as it should.

REA Power Increases
Dairy Efficiency

NEED MORE HELP on the farm?
~ Armand Deschamps, Missoula
county dairyman, helped solve the
problem by greater use of his REA
line.
Two water heaters, one in the
house and another in the milking
parlor, keep water always ready for
use. Electricity operates the milking
machines, lights the barns, milking
parlor, loafing shed, chicken house,
barnyard and driveway. In the
house, Mrs. Deschamps has the con-
veniences of an electric stove, toast
er, waffle iron, grill, refrigerator,
mixmaster, washing machine, water
pumps, radios, electric clocks and
plenty of light.
1t all adds up to an easier and
better life for the family and a more
efficient dairying operation. Des-
champs has about 40 head of grade
Guernsey and Holstein cows, fed
from 100 acres of hay and pasture
land.
