Thousands of dollars are lost by poultry rais ers every year due to dirty eggs and the resulting deterioration takes place before they are marketed. The prevention of dirty eggs will not only increase the flockowner’s in come but will build a better market for eggs. Dirty eggs offer a poor appear ance. they cannot be stored suc cessfully and it takes time and By ROGER W. BABSON Babson Park. Mass., Nov. 15—In view of a report in The Commercial and Fihancial Chronicle, America’s leading business weekly, that I have recently been put ting my hard-earn ed pennies in a cer tain drug stock, many inquiries have .come to me asking the reasons. Hence, I I this week let me give 10 reasons | therefor. (1) Drug stocks T „ _ . tare well both in times of peace and war. In thgge" uncertain days, when our country'is "betwixt and between, the wise investor will not gamble on either peace or war. He will invest his savings in an industry which will Dr. R. F. Poole, state chairman of the 1950 Christmas Seal Sale of the South Carolina Tuberculosis associa tion, recently announced the names of chairmen who are responsible for conducting the campaign in the 46 counties. The Seal Sale chairmen are named by the local tuberculosis associations. The annual campaign is the me thod used to’finance the program of tuberculosis association, and is also a major educational project of the association. Ninety-four per cent of the amount collected from the 1950 Christmas Seal Sale in South Caro lina will refnain in the state for the use of the state and local tubercu losis associations in their programs of tuberculosis prevention and con trol. Six per cent will be used for medical research and other phases of the tuberculosis control program of the National Tuberculosis associa tion. Gordon B. Collins, superintendent of the Laurens county hospital, is the county chairman. Mrs. Lula Riddle Has 89th Birthday Mrs. Lula Riddle who makes her home with her daughter.

W. Miller of Kings I Mountain, 11 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Teen-age Canteen Open Saturday Night The Teen-age Canteen for boysi and girls of the eighth anti ninth i grades of Clinton high school will be 1 held Saturday night, November 13th, at the Armory immediately follow- 1 Thursday, November 16, 1950 % ing the “Tom Thumb” bowl game. Admission will be by tickets pur chased from the high school. The canteen will close between 10:15 and 10:30 p. m. i TO INSPECT BUSES Laurens county school buses will be inspected Wednesday, November 29, at the Laurens high school at 10 a. m. State Patrolman W. A. Lowery made the announcement and asked all bus drivers to be there. He said mechanical parts such as glass, brak es and tires will be inspected. STYLE MART SUITS In Regulars, Shorts, Longs and Stouts L B. DILLARD be safe in either case. Eggs should be gathered at least three times a day in wire baskets and stored in clean, cool, moist place. money to clean them. Consequently, buyers ore willirg to pay more for clean eggs which means more prof it to the flockowner. The production of clean eggs and handling them to maintain quality is not difficult Deep, dry litter, good ventilation and nests well lit tered with shaving, excelsior, straw, or other nesting material, will keep the birds from getting dirt and stains on the eg£s from their feet. Always keep hens in the house on wet. muddy days. Immediately after gathering, eggs should be stored in the cleanest, coolest and most moist place on the farm. A cellar with a tempera ture of -15 to 60 degrees is very’ good. Home Canning Resumes On Near Wartime Scale — The upward surge of food prices, reflecting troublous events in the far east, finds housewives every- vhere mobilizing home canning bri gades reminiscent of World War II “Veterans of the last home front stand are dusting off their pressure cookers and preparing to lay up rec ord ‘peacetime' supplies of fruits and vegetables", says Mary Ann March, chief home economist of Chi cago Ekco Products company. "Countless inquiries received by our test kitchen about the new low- pressure method of cooking indicate a revival of home canning on a near w|rtime scale." she says. The low pressure cooker, develop ed since the end of the world war, permits more efficient earning of fruits, berries and tomatoes than was possible in the early 1940’s, be cause its ability to operate at a pressure of only three and three- quarter pounds assures thorough cooking without destruction of these delicate foods. B«tt«r Pip (2) Some great new discoveries ! which may protect our families |against polio, arthritis,-and perhaps | cancer are "on the way.” As these come along drug stocks should boom as television and electronic stocks boomed last year. (3) The chemists and pharmacists jof drug companies are given especial consideration in connection with la- ] bor laws and perhaps the draft it self. They are recognized as impor- ! tant workers and entitled to such exemptions from rules and regula- i tions as are possible to give. (4) Drug stores are permitted by -law to be - open any number of hours per day and seven days a week in cluding Sundays and holidays. As the modern stores have lunch coun ters, this long opening period is a public convenience as well as necessi-! ty. Choicest Locations (5) Drug stores usually have the choicest locations in a city, at cor ners, or adjoining bus stations or at otherwise frequented localities. In stead of owning the property, they rent so as to be able to move as the trading areas of the city change j (6) Drug companies are constantly increasing their lines of merchandise which is no longer limited to sick room needs. From electric heating pads and gadgets for warming baby's milk, modern drug stores now carry j most all home electric appliances. and—in addition—an unlimited var-| iety of household supplies. (7) The public likes to buy at drug ; storys whatever these stores carry, j both on account of the higher quai- j ity of the merchandise and the in- telligence of the sales clerks. For several reasons the drug industry insists upon higher stndards for their employees than any other group. (8) Earnings of drug stocks are now temporarily depressed due to the industry's overexpansion during the past five years and the need of new capital to pay therefore. This fact should now make such stocks more attractive to the wise investor than other stocks which are, at the moment, very popular. Hedges Against Inflation (91 Drug companies, like other good merchandising corporations are especially good hedges against infla tion. The capital of such companies is almost wholly invested in com- j modities which rise in price as the purchasing power of the dollar in- j creases. (10) There is also another person al reason for my investing in drug stocks. I have been most successful when investing in stocks of compan ies which are saving life or property and thus performing a national ser vice. Certainly, the drug industry is both saving lives and improving the health and happiness of every com munity. I even look forward to the time when humanely minded persons who now seek positions in social serv ice, or in educational fields, or even in church work will see the gre^t opportunity for helping others by serving in a high grade drug labor atory or store. Presbyterian Men To Meet Tonight o More than 3,000 Midwest farmers recently viewed pigs raised by Sam and Frank Honegger /ho have de veloped a system of vitamin feeding to produce bigger and better swine. The use o' antibiotics and minute quantities of vitamin substances, in cluding vitamin B-12, in the daily rations has given growers a new outlook through a lower livestock mortality rate. The pig above icd by the new method gained nearly a pound a day faster thqn on previous diets at better than five cents less cost per pound of meat. The Men-of-the-Church of the First Presbyterian church will hold their November dinner-meeting this evening at 7:30. i The gflest speaker will be Rev. McLeod Frampton, pastor of the , Central Presbyterian church of An- [ derson. VISIT THE ORPHANAGE A group of members of the Wom- en-of-th'e-Church from the Fairview Presbyterian church in N.

Groves, Mrs. Edward Mc- Elmurray, Mrs. Wallace Harmon, Mrs. E. M. Boswell, Mrs. Wade S. Jackson, Mrs. W. R. Harmon and Mrs. McLaurin. Oriental Blight Strikes Italian Chestnut Trees What America has learned about combatting chestnut blight may turn out to be a blessing for Italy The same oriental blight that ra vished chestnut forests from New England to Tennessee and Missouri, is now raging through the chestnut forests of Italy where the nuts are considered a sort of second front against hunger. American knowledge .s now being used to combat the disease in Italy I ATTEND VOITURE MEET Carlton F. Winn, Chef de gare of Greenville Voiture 1027-40 & 8 and the following voyagers of Clinton, R. P.
