MENTAL HEALTH ASSN DRIVE To
AID 2-COUNTY GUIDANCE CENTER

A concerted drive to raise funds
to take care OF the backlog of
patients now awaiting entry into
the Erie Ottawa County Mental
Guidance Center, will be made by
members of the Ottawa County
Mental Health Association. The
drive, which has $4,000 as its
goal, opens Monday, April % and
continues for two weeks.
Thirty percent of the mental
cases aided by the Guidance Cen
ter have been from Ottawa County,
and in the past have been treated
without any financial support from
this county. Due to the backlog of
patients from go to 80 days, the
local unit was faced with the task
of either organizing its own guild
ance center or raising the neces-
sary funds to expand the Erie-co
unit to include all patients from
Ottawa County. AS an alternate
measure, the directors could or
ganize its own center Home.
Cost of operating a unit within
the county was estimated at
$25, 5000 with two year minimum
before obtaining state aid. AS a
consequence, directors of the Men
tai Health Association voted to
attempt the fund drive to raise
the $4,000 needed to merge with
Erie County.
The Mental Health Guidance
Center is now treating 80 patients
from Ottawa County, and upon
| the successful completion of the
drive, will be able to take care Of
the backlog awaiting entrance.
Mrs. James Rhiel is fund chair
man of the drive; Anthony Hawk
ing, corporation contacts; DeloS
Nissen, business contacts; DR.
Kraft Ritter, physician solicita
tions; Walter Chic, general public
and Charles Dewitt, business
places.
A speakers bureau has been or
ganized with Mrs. Ann Bolte as
its head, and any club or organiza
ton desiring further information
on this humanitarian unit or the
drive itself is asked to contact hel
at 8501. Several engagements have
already been scheduled with many
more expressing interest.

FARMERS WIFE

places and to individuals as well.
Naturally, when you've built up q
reputation for having high quality
produce, you want to be sure that
the variety you have is the best
for all around purposes. They had
always planted the Senator Dun
lap variety, and really liked them.
But one year, just to experiment,
Bills father planted a half dozen
plants of Ia different varieties, for
purposes of comparison. Well -
he decided then and there that
year, that the Dunlaps were the
best.
He sets out new bed each
spring, an only keeps the old bed
over one year. AS result, we've
always had strawberries, and we
like the Dunlaps so well that when
we eat berry of different va
riety somewhere, they seem so
flat and tasteleSs to us. In the
first place, this variety is nice and
firm, the berries hold up so nicely.
They're a rich red, and red all the
way through, not white or tough
in the center. They're very fine
grained, and the flavor is practic-
ally out of this world.
like the way they hold up, too.
They're also very good for JAM
making, and they freeze so nicely,
too. They're just as flavorful when
you eat strawberry shortcake in
January as they we're in June
when they we're frozen. l always
crush at least half of the berries
/ put in the freezer for shortcake
purposes, we like them so we'll
that way.
Another good point in favor of
the variety is that it is mighty
vigorous grower, makes a lot of
runners, in fact, if you're not care
full they'll get too thick.
You've probably noticed in Nur-
sery Catalogues that they don't
have much to say about Dunlap
strawberries. New varities are be-
ing propogated all the time, it
seems, and lot of them are un-
doubtedly very good. However,
sometimes l think that the goal
that nurserymen have is oftentimes
more for appearance than they are
for flavor. It's a known fact that
the housewife wants to buy great,
big, shiny strawberries when she
goes to market, so that's what she
gets. The Dunlap variety is in
clined to be comewhat smaller than
some of the others, but they've al
ways been plenty big enough for
us.
There are lots and lots of things
to take into consideration when it
comes to planting strawberries. !
couldn't begin to go into all the
details here, however, Fred Grimm
has some excellent bulletins on
this subject at the Extension Of
flee.
Bills father says it is mighty
important to pinch off all the
blossoms that form the frs sum-
mer in order to strengthen the
parent plant, and you've also got
to keep them free of weeds that
first year.
Then too, we always mulch them
in the winter time. Straw makes
good mulch, but if there's some

Well, thank goodness, Miss Kel-
ley and her prince finally got
ahitched." I had a dreadful feeling
that something might go wrong at
the last moment (you know what
they say about the best-laid plans
of mice and mem and delay this
super elaborate knottying cere-
mony.
Since practically everybody has
a spark of romance in their make

won't take too long for the excite

have some privacy without having
to fight for it.
II you're thinking about setting
out a new Strawberry patch this
year, now's the time to do it. The
earlier in the spring that you can
set the plants, the better they'll do.
Most authorities agree, and we've
found out from experience, that it
is definitely unsatisfactory to plant
this fruit in the fall. It's hard for
them to get started, they don't
make many runners, and they're
just not strong enough to weather
the winter very good.
] think the first step to consider
is the variety of strawberries you
want to plant. Bills Dad has work
ed with strawberries for a good
many years since the year 1900 in
fact. In 1907 he started growing
strawberries on large scale, which
were sold to various business

isn't too good. Sawdust is an ex-

Today's Bit of Nonsense
At wedding not long after the
war, the groom, only recently back
from overseas, had hardly glimpsed
his bride before the ceremony.
Therefore when time came for the
kiss it was a long one, lasting on
and on until a child's voice rang
out in the silence of the church:
Mummy, is he spreading the
pollen on her now?"
A couple of weeks ago had the
pleasure of attending the Home
Demonstration Achievement Day in
Sandusky County.
One feature of their program
was a demonstration on fish cook
cry by Mrs. Dorothy Robey, Home
Economist with the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service.
She actually prepared and cook
ed six different sea food dishes
that afternoon. Contrary to the
luck of most of us, each dish
turned out beautifully, they looked
just like a picture. We were each

recipes, and I'm going to give them

PETTIGREW LIBRARY
HAD q2,I97 BOOKS
OUT DURING YEAR


Columbia. - The Pettigrew Re
gion library consisting of Wash
ington, Chowan and Tyrrell coun-
ties circulated 92,197 books during
the past fiscal year, according to
Mrs. Eugenia P. Babylon, director.
The region. was officially formed
October /, 1856, and since the fis-
cal year ends June 80, the circula-
ton in the individual counties were
counties for July, August and Sep
TENDER 1866. Broken down by Ii
braries and bookmobiles the num-
Der of books loaned by each as fol-
lows:
White bookmobile 33.465; color

Washington Co. Public Library H.

8,088; Washington County Color
ed 1889; Tyrrell County Colored

Since Negroes had no bookmo-
bile service until the formation of
the region, their bookmobile circu-
lation is excellent, Mrs. Babylon
reports.
The two bookmobiles cover the
three counties serving all the
county schools, communities, and
many individual homes. Addition
al stops are added as necessary.
Schedules are printed in papers
and broadcast at Edenton. To know
schedules, contact your libraries
for information. Bookmobiles will
resume winter runs in September,
after school term opens.
During the year 44,62S Juvenile
books and 44,569 adult books were
read, with fiction in the lead about
three to one. 3,168 books were add
ed, over half of which were chill
dren's books. Books for pre-school
and elementary children were es-
pecially needed. This need is being
filled as rapidly as possible. In the
three counties 9,183 borrowers are
registered out of a population of
about 10000. This figure does not
include the schools.
The state library loaned the re-
gion SGT books durings the year,
of which 400 were loaned for ex-
elusive use on the colored BOOKING
bile.
253 reference questions were
answered through the librarians,
who are glad to help when needed
by patrons. All of the libraries
have reference books which do not
circulate such as encyclopedias,
abstracts and digests. When refer
ence questions cannot be answered
by the Region librarian, they are
referred to the State Library.

said Mrs. Babylon, and that she
expects the circulation to go over
100000 next year. People are
urged to use their library facili-

to all, and that all suggestions
will be welcomed.
