New Entrance
Exams At UNC
Not So Tough

CHAPEL HILL The new en-
trance exams for getting into UNC
aren't really so tough.
Some parents have been worried
about the tests, for fear their. sons
ana daughters may not be able to
get into Chapel Hill, Greensboro
or Raleigh.
But there isn't really much rea-
son to get upset about it.
The examination is in three
parts: Cd algebra, (2) English,
90 general educational aptitude.
1t is not true that the Univer-
sity will accept only those in the
upper three-fourths in the testing.
Applicants will be given every
chance. Students will be turned
down only if they score low in all
three of the tests.
Say, for instance. that boy has
attended a high school where he
hasn't been taught as well as he
might have been taught if he had
attended another school of higher
standards with better-prepared
teachers. Such a boy might score
low on his algebra test. He may
do better on the English exam. If
he does badly on both the algebra
and the English, does that mean
he's out of luck, so far as attend
ing the University is concerned?
Not at all. He has one remain
ing test. 1t examines his general
aptitude It finds out whether he
has the ability to learn, even
though he has not had the best
opportunity in the past.
Add it all up. and you'll see that
the new tests are not really so
rugged.
Best of all, the tests will seek
to find talent Suppose. for ex-
ample, there is a boy in a rural
high school whose parents don't
have much money. They can't send
him to college But if this boy is
a good student = if he's crack
erjack at mathematics and does
well on his other studies - the en-
trance examination will disclose
his abilities.
Such boys and girls will be urged
to go to college. Scholarship help
will be sought for them. For such
students are needed. Some way
will be found to educate them.

At the meeting it became e

who wish may discuss their own
weights - they can even advertise
SD far as the others are con-
cerned - but they cannot discuss
someone else's weight. That rule

Not all the husbands are 'in

sheds a given number of pounds.
Another who regularly buys the

foods.
MEASURING NIGHT
Beginning night is measuring
night. Each new m m ber is
''taped" and her measurements re-
corded both in her book and in
Frances little black book. At the
end of four weeks another tapping
party is held to see just how much
the member has lost or = perish

Each week the one losing the
most weight gets a small prize At
the end of the 81 weeks when the
club disbands to make room for
new members, the girl who has
lost the most weight gets special
prize = perhaps new dress to go
along with her figure
The member is weighed and the
weight recorded. Each week when
she arrives she mounts the scales
and if she's been cheating in
the calorie department - holds her
breath lest she's gained a pound.
A pound of weight means goodbye
to a dollar.

Big Stir At
Kings Mtn. Over
Spodumene Work

RALEIGH - The Kings Noun
tain area has become "the hottest
spot in America" in the mining of
spodumene. DR.. J. L. S tuck key
state geologist. said today.
Spodumene is a rock-like min
eral containing lithium. aluminium,
silicon and oxygen.
ION the basis of the interest in
spodumene, Dr.. Stuckey asserted,
1T offers more potentialities for
immediate development than any
other mineral in North Carolina.
We still don't know the uses to
which it can be put"
He pointed out that research
may open unlimited possibilities
for spodumene. 1t is best known
for lithium, a metal substance. 1t
is estimated that 90 per cent of
the lithium in America is in North
Carolina.
Dr. Stuckey said that literally
dozens of people" and groups have
been in the Kings Mountain area
obtaining options and leases on
property which might hold spodu-
meme deposits.
II doubt if there is much land
in that area on which leases and
options haven't been obtained" Dr..
Stuckey said.
The possibility that lithium is
used in atomic weapons was
raised in the September, 1855, is
sue of Engineering and Mining
Journal. 1t stated: "As an exam
pie of lithium's versatility, consid-
er the part which lithium is re-
ported to play in the fusion proc
ess and the H-bomb."
The spodumene deposits in this
state extend from Grover near the
South Carolina line up to Lincoln
ton. At one time there was small
deposit at Hiddenite. The Foote
Mineral Co. and the Lithium Corp.
of America have plants in oper-
alton in the Kings Mountain area
Other mining companies are in
terested in going into the area,
Dr.. Stuckey said.
Spodumene is only one phase of
the Tar Heel mining industry that
has become big business in the last
fifteen years. Interest in mining
has become more intensified in
the last five years." DR.. Stuckey
stated An estimated $43, ,480. 900
worth of minerals was mined in
this state last year. Heading the
LIST was the stone mining indus
try, including granite and marble.
It's production was estimated at IT
million dollars. Next came cate

The North Carolina Advisory
Committee ON Education made its
Ilong-awaited report last week and
recommended that state constitu-
tional changes be made which
would give the General Assembly
authority to provide from public
funds financial grants ito be paid
toward the education of any child
assigned against the wishes of his
parents to school in which the
races are mixed - such grants to
be available for education only in
non-sectarian schools and only
when such child cannot be con-
veniently assigned to non-mixed
public school,"
Another m n d m e n recon-
mended to be submitted to the
vote of the people would provide
for safety valve" suspension, by
majority vote, of operations of
local schools in local unit in
the event of developments in such
units of an Unacceptable situa-
tion." The document explained
that lit may well be that before
the people of North Carolina will
give the necessary support to an
honest trial of the assignment
plan they will need to be assured
of escape possibilities from in
tolerable situations"
The report expressed strong con-
fidence, however, that proper use
| of the assignment statute passed
by the 1855 General Assembly
would go far toward meeting any
segregation problem in. the i'm
mediate future. This statute, re-
| ported the committee, provides for
pupil assignment based on "the
best interest of the child assigned,
including in it's considerations,
residence, school attended during
the preceding year, availability of
facilities, and all other local con-
ditions bearing upon the welfare
of the child and the prospective
effectiveness of his school,"
TWO CONCLUSIONS
The committee reviewed its ap-
proach to the segregation problem
during long months of study and
conferences, and cited two i'm
portant conclusions reached:
81. We are of the unanimous
opinion that the people of North
Carolina will not support mixed
schools. This is to say that we be-
lieve that if the schools were inte-
grated in this state, the General
Assembly, representing the people,
would withhold support to a de-
gree that the result would Ger
tainly be the ruin and eventual
abandonment of the public schools.
Whether a particular viewpoint
finds this conclusion to be good
or bad, pleasant or unpleasant, it
remains our conclusion and We
state it as such:
80. -. we are quite. sure that the
saving of our public schools re-
quires action now. To do nothing
would, we believe, destroy the pub
lie schools. Those who would in

schools are those who would act

blow and it now requires positive

DURING THE LENTEN season many
persons will eat more fish than usual.
Fish brings delicacy of flavor and tex

Fish is high-quality protein food and

can be easily faxed.
In using canned fish, the more at
tractive higher grades are better for
salads or serving plain. For such dishes
as casSeroleS or fish cakes, lower
grades will do. They are Just as nu-

FERTILIZER EQUIPMENT should
be thoroughly cleaned after each sea

equipment is used both in the spring
and the fall it should be cleaned twice

Beet Top Silage
Is Good Feed
By KENNETH BOWER
Big Horn County, Wyoming

Dig NOM COHHIJ, " JOHIHS
FOR THE LAST two years l have
made Silage of my beet tops, using
roto beater type of field forage chop
per.
The first year 1 used a power box
mounted on a truck to haul the beetS
to the silo, but this required an extra
man to drive the truck and the wheels
could not be adjusted to the beet rows.
The second year I used a rubber-tired
wagon pulled behind the chopper and
was able to keep farther ahead of the
beet harvester.
One will find that there is a very
high moisture content to the beet tops.
In fact, the wagon will begin leaking
before the load is finished. For this
reason drainage from the Silo is i'm
portant. Also the Silo must be planned
so that it can be filled from the sides.
as it is impossible to drive over the
silage in the filling.
because OF the high moisture content
and because the silage can't be packed.
there is considerable shrinkage. How
ever there doesn't seem to be much
spoilage even on the top and livestock
prefer the beet tops even to corn sill
age. The protein content, figured on
a dry basis, will run about 1O5 per
cent. It would be my guess that on
a dry basis the yield is from one-half
to one ton per acre.
l used dry pulp to try to take up
some moisture the first year but it
took too much to be practical and
probably lost some of its feed value
through teaching. However, it was
good feed.

SUGAR BEET GROWERS an

SUGAR BEET GROWERS and
company fieldmen report the follow.
ing advantages of beet top SiIage
over other types of beet top forage:
1. Field chopped and ensiIed tons
have up to twO-thirds more feed
value than field cured and piled
tops.
2. Field chopped and ensiIed tons
are superior feed since they are free
of dirt usually picked up in the
moving and raking of leaves.
3. Field chOpping in advance of
the harvester permits a better lob
of topping.
4. The ensiling is a Once-Over and
less expensive method of handling
the tops than moving, raking and
piling. When harvest is completed
the leaf Silage is near the feed LOT.
5. Growers report usual production
is one load of chopped tops for each
load of beetS hauled.

reduced.
