WATCH OUT If YOU. HIRE
CHILDREN UNDER AGE
Law Makes Several Requirements
of Persons Who Employ Mi
nOrs; Rules Outlined

At this season, when many peo-
pie are looking forward to the en-
ployment of minors in their bust
ness this summer, much inconven-
fence may be saved by following
the late laws with respect to en-
ployment of children.
The Dare County Welfare De-
partment has furnished the follow
ing timely advice:
Have you studied up on the
Child-Labor Laws? Do you know
your responsibilities to the minor
you employ? We would like to
briefly point out to you the steps
to be taken before a minor is en-
ployed.
Be sure the child has an employ
ment certificate. What is this GER
tificate? The local Welfare De-
partment has these forms for COM
pletion. 1t is necessary for the mi
nor to have:
1. The employers application.
2. Parents agreement for the
minors employment.
8. Physicians certificate of age
and physical qualifications.
4. School record.
After the minor has furnished the
Welfare Department with these
four forms, an employment certi-
ficate is written and mailed to the
Commissioner of Labor, Mr.. For
rest H. Shuford, for his approval.
1t is most important that your
firm have copy Of the approved

HAVE GOOD CHICK
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
By r. S. SMITH
County Agent


In 1852 start your poultry pro-
gram by buying good chicks. Good
chicks come from good breeding
stock and should receive good care
in order to return good labor re-
turns. Start your chicks in house
that has been thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected. One can of I've to
10 gals. of water Il OF. to one gall
will make a good disinfectant. The
brooder house should be cleaned
and disinfected we'll in advance OF
the arrival of the chicks in order
that it will be ready for them.
The main requirements in rails
ing chicks are feed, water, and
heat. In order that chicks can eat
when they want to- it is important
that they have plenty of feeding
space. In addition to the regular
feeders some poultrymen make
feeders out of the chick boxes. This
is done by cutting down the sides,
about one inch from the bottom,
and taking out the partitions and
pads. These boxes will make good
feeders for the first few days. Also
if paper is placed in the lids or
tops of the chick boxes they can
be used as feeders. AS the chicks
grow they will need larger feeders.
Chick size feeders should be used
for the first four weeks, medium
size hoppers from the fourth to the
twelfth week and after the twelfth
week outdoor or covered type OF
feeders should be used while the
birds are on range. Be sure the
chicks have plenty of fresh, clean
water at all times. Practice good
sanitation by keeping the fountains
clean and on wired or Slated plat
forms. In changing from one size
waterer or feeder be sure to leave
the smaller ones in the brooder
house for several days until the
chicks become accustomed to the
larger feeders and waterers. Some
poultry raisers place feeders and
waterers under the hover for the
first few days. Some use chick
guard for the first week to keep
n, chicks confined to the brooder
area.
! If the following suggestions
were placed where we could see
them everyday then we would not
forget what makes good manage
ment, and could realize more pro-
| fit from our poultry.
1. Decide If you want chickens
! for home use, or for commercial
purposes. For home use it is moi

GEO. WOOD LYONS, JR., has
been designated Easter Seal Child
for 1912 in N. c., and to start the
drive this year, Governor w. Kerr
Scott bought the first batch of
seals from him. He will symbolic
all crippled children during the an
nual sale of Easter Seals from
March IS to April Is. Endorsing
the annual Easter Seal appeal,
Governor Scott sail "The right to
aid the crippled is a privilege that
should be appreciated, guarded and
exercised fully"
He urged that the public support
generously>this years campaign to
the end that the various chapters
of the North Carolina Society for
Crippled Children and adults, spon-
soring organization, may meet the
increased costs and provide the
many services needed by the Grip
pied children of the state.
TT is economically sound to
make available such services as
those financed through Easter Seal
funds, since these services held
dependent crippled children become
independent, productive adults"
the Governor said.
The Society's headquarters in
Chapel Hill announced that the
18th annual campaign is planned
for aid to approximately 100000
handicapped school children in
North Carolina and that commit
tees in all 100 counties will partici-
pate in the drive.
The appeal will be made through
100000 letters to be mailed
throughout the state, Easter Lily
parades, and through North Caro-
lima schools which will conduct the
sale of school packets and tags.

wise to have over 40, and for COM
mercial purposes have 400 as a
minimum number.
2. Then resolve to make it an
efficient poultry enterprise.
8. Purchase high quality chicks
from reliable sources that are
bred for eggs or meat and that are
free from pullorum disease.
A. For layers purchase chicks
within the first four months of the
new year.
5. Start four broods of chicks for
broilers and set a goal for each
brood. Grow a three pound bird
with nine pounds of feed in nine
weeks.
6. Feed a high quality ration and
feed for maximum results. Avoid
stunning.
z. Provide sufficient room for
brooding. Avoid crowding, one-half
SO. fit. for small, one SO. #. for
fryers, and A So. fit. for layers.
8. Brood chicks as far away as
possible from old birds to prevent
the spread of diseases.
9. Raise pullets separate from
old hens. Green grazing crops re-
duce the cost of raising pullets.
10. Vaccinate all pullets against
fowl pox. It's good insurance for
good egg production.
IL. Provide adequate housing
and equipment. Pullets should
have plenty of fresh clean water
at all times.
IL. Use lights on the layers from
Oct. to April l to increase the
working day to thirteen hours.
Is. Keep an all-pullet flock.
Ia. Protect egg quality. Gather
eggs often, cool quickly, and keep
'em cool. Have an egg room for
holding the eggs until they are
marketed.
Is. Produce and sell clean eggs.
Market eggs attractively.
16. Set a goal of 225 eggs per
bird for the laying year.
II. Keep a daily record of your
laying flock. 1t is good yardstick
for measuring production cost and
profit.
Pullets VS.. Hens
Are you planning an all-pullet
flock for the '52-'53 laying year
Keep in mind that old hens usually
mott in the fall of the year. Ac.

EDITOR FAVORS
GOV. RUSSELL
FOR PRESIDENT
Scotland N eek Common
wealth Says RusseII's
Candidacy A Cheer
ing Development
By ERIC w. RODGERS, Editor
Scotland Neck Commonwealth

Announcement of the candidacy
of Senator Richard Russell of
Georgia for the Democratic nomi-
nation as President is an event of
wide significance throughout the
United States, but chiefly through
out the South. Senator Russell is
a well-known and respected men,
Der of the Senate who has demon
strated sound leadership and a.
bove-average intelligence in deal
ing with public affairs, and honest
devotion to the duties which are
his because of his office.
The candidacy of Senator Russell
will offer a rallying ground for
those throughout the South who
are bitterly opposed to the renomi-
nation of Harry S. Truman for
variety of reason which have been
so thoroughly discussed in the
press in recent months that it is
not necessary to repeat them. 1t is
sufficient to say that Russell is
opposed to corruption in govern
ment, believes that Cabinet mem
bers and those closest to the Presi-
dent should have the attribute of
honesty as well as that of intelli-
gence, and that the President him
self should demand absolute hon
esty on the part of his own person
al friends to whom he has entrust-
ed great responsibilities. Further
than that Russell is opposed to the
FEPC and various other phases of
Humans so-called civil rights pro-
gram which has earned for him a
great deal of hostility throughout
the South.
Senator Russell will probably not
be elected President of the United
States because it is a very hard
task to elect Southerner to the
highest office in the land. This is
unfortunate but it is true. Not I'M
til the Electoral College is abolish
ed or reformed, two party sys-
tenn established in the South, and
the votes of citizens throughout
the nation made equally as impor-
tant as those of citizens who reside
in certain heavily populated areas
will it be possible for the South to
gain full recognition as a compo-
nent portion of the nation insofar
as the presidency is concerned.
But it will be possible for the
South to express its hostility to
the Truman administration and to
the denomination of Truman by
rallying around Senator Russell. If
Senator Russell goes into the
Democratic convention with sub
stantial bloc of votes given to him
by Southern states he will be in a
position to do some hard trading
in the name of the South. He
should be able if this eventuates to
bring about changes in the Demo-
cratic platform which will give
more consideration to the views of
those who live in the South, and it
is quite possible that if he holds a
commanding position in the con-
vention he will have a large part
to play in the nomination of the
candidates for President and Vice
President.
1t should be borne in mind that
all this can be done by loyal. Demo-
Gratis without leaving the Demo
cratic party. Senator Russell is
not the candidate of splinter
party" but is Democrat running
within the party.
Now, how should the South pro-

In another facet of the nego-
tiations at Panmunjom, the Com
munists turned down a new plea
by the Allies for international Red
Cross inspection of war prisoner
camps.
A two-delegate subcommittee

liam i~nternees remained deadlocked
after two hours and seven minutes
of wrangling.
The new bid for Red Cross visits
to prisoner camps was made by
the United Nations committee
member, Rear Adm. R. E. Libby,
and rejected by the Red member,
North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee
Sang Che.
This committee, as well as a
joint staff officers group engaged
in writing a partial agreement on
armistice rules, decided to meet
again at II o'clock Sunday morn
ing GO p. m. Saturday, Est).
