A W0MAN'S
PROVOCATIVE

The Queen and the wife
of the President Of the
United States showed their
prerogative yesterday.
It was that they could
change their minds.
The change came dress
wise.
Mrs. Eisenhower said that
she would wear a red wool
dress to greet the Queen
at the White House yester-
day when she arrived at
noon. She met her in an
olive green one.
1t was released last night
that the Queen would APP

dinner given by the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Eisenhower

doesn't get around quite as fast as
he used to. The late Stuart M
Rogers, who played many prac-

and many early morning passen-
gers on board the "Trenton," once
remarked that he could have play
ed a game of marbles on Capt
Johnson's coat-tails because every
time he hit dry land he was as
busy as a bee in a peach orchard
trying to get all his errands done
before boat time.
"Those were great old days, the
likes Of which we'll never see

Capt. Johnson recalls with a

for a long while he went around
with a tape measure in his back
pocket for frequently the ladies'

ask him to buy them hats on his
next trip to Elizabeth City. He
would whip out the tape measure,
jot down the size of their heads
on a scrap Of paper and when the

noon about $3.50 he would have
them a brand new hat. In those

Today we were thinking about
all the new camera owners
who've just joined our happy
breed" Excitement, challenge, adj
venture, discovery-these and a
myriad of other pleasurable SEN
sations await anyone using cam
era. And never is this truer than
in those first days when the proud
new picture taker realizes it's
a shutter finger that holds the
world by string.
OF course, to be sure Of get
ting the best possible pictures,
you new camera owners would
do well to arm yourselves with
certain very basic information.
Contrary to the proverb, here's a
case where "a little learning" is
not "a dangerous thing" at all.
The tips we have in mind are
very simple ones-and you'll see
that the advice they offer is the
kind even veteran snapshooters
often need to be reminded about.
First of all, read through the
instruction booklet that was
tucked into the box along with
your new camera, to give you all
the information you need about
how the camera works. A quick
reading-snd you'll spare your
self wasted time and needless dis
appointment later on. For only
when you know what your par
ticular camera is designed to do
and what its own individual lirni,

TREAT cows KINDLY
AND GET MORE MILK

How completely-or incomplete
ly- do your cows let down their
milk, asks Guy S. Parsons, dairy
specialist for the N. C. Agricul-
tural Extension Service. The way
you treat them has lot to do with
how much milk you get.
Parsons says improper milking
or the failure to provide the "milk-
ing time conditions th4 stimulate
the cow to secrete enough oxytocin
(the cows milk let down hormone)
are definite factors in causing cows
to dry up early"
Any excitement at milking time
interferes with the secretion of
oxytocin. Normally it is secreted
by small gland near the cows
brain in response to a milking
stimulus. The stimulus can be
provided through udder massage
by nursing calf, by milking
machine, or by a human mixer.
Mild excitement may partially

Be Sure You Have Beginners Luck"

tations are can you expect the
best kind of results from its use.
If any of this information isn't
absolutely clear to you, or if
you're still not sure about how
any part of your camera works,
don't hesitate to ask your photo
dealer about it. He'll be happy to
help you-and you'll be far hap
pier than if your own "experi-
mental technique" caused damage
to the mechanism.
Second on the list of must"
reading is the information print
ed right on the package of every
roll of film you buy. Read it care
fully before you load your camera
for action. That way, you'll be
able to determine exactly what
you have to do under the prevail
ing conditions of light and atmos-
phere.
Though most cameras are con-
structed to take a lot of abuse,
they are precision instruments
and deserve as much considera-
ton as you'd give a good watch.
Plan to keep your camera away
from heat and dust as much as
possible when not in use. Avoid
a '.hot spot" such as the glove
compartment of your car, or a
"dust-catcher" like the back
window ledge. Instead, just keep
it on the seat beside you while in
transit.

milk than normally, declares Par
sons. Handling the COW roughly,
rushing her, not feeding her at a
certain time when she has been
led to expect feed, moving into a
new stall or barn, or anything ex-
citing or over-stimulating can
cause the COW to hold back some

Therefore, if you are going to

storage, be sure to give your cows

HOME
DEMONSTRATION
WEEK Is SLATED

Raleigh.-For So, 920 home dem
onstration women in North Caro-
lima, April % through May will
mean time for telling others just
what their club activities mean to
| them.
This is the week set aside for
the observance of the 18th annual
National Home Demonstration
Week across the nation, Ruth
Current, state home agent, an
nounces. Tar Heel women join with
61s million club women in America
in telling their story of how
"Home Demonstration Work Serves
the People"
The home demonstration pro-
gram offers the newest reliable
information to North Carolina club
women on such subjects as food
and nutrition, clothing, housing,
home furnishings, household equip
ment, home management-includ-
ing long range planning, health
and safety, child care and develop
ment, family relations, family eco
Monies, good business practices,
and marketing and consumer buy
ing.
North Carolina club women, in
addition to studying these basic
home economics subjects, are now
rounding out their programs with
projects in education, music, read
ing, citizenship, and international
relations.
The aims of national home DEM
onstration week are six-fold. The
purpose is to further acquaint the
general public with the Coopera-
tive Extension Service and it's
home demonstration program plan
ned by and for homemakers; to
help families understand better
their part in planning and carrying
out the extension program; and to
stress research that relates to, the
home and family and to encourage
homemakers to put research find
ings into use.
In addition, aims are to inter-
pref to people the scope of home
economics and its contribution to
family and community life; to rec
ognize the work of volunteer lead
ers without whose services the
home demonstration program would
not benefit as many families as
now; and to inform people about
the duties of their local home dem
onstration agent, and how to take
advantage of her assistance.
The week will be observed local
ly in number of ways. Plans in
clude events such as tours, achieve.
ment days, open houses, and dem
will be to inform other homemakers
onstrations. The purpose of these

Extension workers and home
makers will be speakers at meet
ings of civic and service clubs

lures about the work in theil
areas. Exhibits illustrating typica
and outstanding activities will b.

places.
