Teadiers Hear John Zuidema John Zuidema, a member of the State of South Carolina Mental Health Commission, was guest speaker at the Newberry County Education Association meeting held Thursday afternoon in the Newberry High School auditorium. His subject was “The Teacher’s Responsibility in Developing the Child’s Mental Health.” He open ed his remarks by saying that, since the launching of Sputniks I and II, schools would probably have much pressure placed upon them to give up everything else and teach science. Mr. Zuidema emphasized the fact that emotions play a big part in determining how well a pupil will do. He stated that children who are mentally unhealthy need immediate attention and that teachers can do much to help the ones with emotional disturbances. If the case is beyond local correc tion; he urged that the schools ad vise the parents concerning the child’s condition and take advan tage of the mental clinics located in South Carolina.

Actually, however, the turkey increasingly is becoming an every day meal for Americans—a trend which bolsters the agricultural economy in the Southeast, espec ially in Virginia and the Carolinas. Turkey output has increased from 41 million birds in 1949 to double that figure in 1957. Last year p^r capita* consumption reached 5.1 pounds compared with less than 1.5 pounds thirty years ago. The post-World War II period has seen Virginia climb to No. 3 spot in turkey production behind California and Minnesota, and at the same time the rise of commer cial output in the Carolinas has been spectacular. South Carolina, the smallest state in the Southeast, became 13th turkey producing state in the nation last year with an output of 1,283,000 birds and is moving tow ard the 1,500,000 mark. Expansion of turkey production in North Carolina in the present year has been rather phenomenal. The output in North Carolina this year is estimated at around 1,800,000 birds, compared with the previous record of 1,295,000 in 1956. This unusual expansion has been mainly brought about by farmers in the eastern part of the state who have had to reduce tobacco acreage sharply, M. C. Small, executive secretary of the National Turkey Federa tion, who says that reports from every state show the supply of all types and sizes of turkeys will be at an all-time high for the holiday season, enumerates some of the factors behind the trend to year- round consumption of turkeys. For one thing, he points out, indications are that turkey “will be a real bargain for some time to come.” Also turkey is just plain better than it used to be, he adds, noting that as one contributing factor in the picture, the use of antibiotics such as auremycin in feeds has helped improve the health of the birds. Too, turkeys are available in va rious sizes, eaqh with more tend er meat than a comparable bird of a decade or so ago. It has become common practice in the industry, for instance, to dress turkeys out at four to nine pounds. In this smaller weight range the “family size” of seven to nine pounds has become the most popular. As a consequence of the federa tion’s research, educational and promotional campaigns, the public is beginning to realize the high nutritional value of turkey, which is th# highest protein of all com monly used meats, among the low est in fat content and is very low in cholestral producing factors. This combination of nutritional values makes turkey an ideal meat for every day use, Mr. Small points out, and it has also caused a great increase in the use of tur key in convalescent diets, reducing diets and diets for those with heart ailments. Moreover, modern refrigeration and processing methods such as those which use the Acronize pro cess now brings the birds to mar ket in fresh ready-to-cook form and not only American housewives but hotels, schools and hospitals are serving turkey much more frequently as an everyday meal.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1957 .. v\ Q—is It true that the Old Age and Survivor* Insurance payment* ro- recehtly were more t * iaT| the receipt* from tax collections for this purpose? A—Yes. Slightly more, due, to the^act thafeFarmqjw had Jtjst re-^, ceived their first (fid age pension checks after paying in only about v 18 months. However there is no need to worry about running out of money since the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund now runs close to $24 billion dollars. ' Q—Will the new Interstote Federal Roads Programs be bam on new rights-of-way? A—Probably., in large measure. According to one source, it has been decided that to widen present rights of way to the required 300 to 300 feet will cost more than acquiring new rights-of-way. It has been estimated that construction of the 33,000 miles of divided lane, limited access superfexpressways diving the next 13 years, plus 8,000 to 9,000 miles ef new lesser highways will gobble up about 3.000.000 acres of land, much of it 'good farm or ranch land. _ * Q—There Is talk of a special session of Congress on Cfvfl RifMp should the bill passed not please the President. Can a special session be limited te this subject? A—No. The President can call a special session indicating the exact matter to be pursued. But once in session. Congress can take up what it pleases. Q—What is the status ef the Bureau of the Budget? A—It is an independent agency reporting directly to the President. The Director also is required to give assistance on request te any committee of either House or Senate. Up to 1939 the Budget , Bureau was in the Treasury Department “Now m»ybe John will believe me when I tell him a < ■ r.cw car, financed by Purcells would save us money.” Come to think of it* why wait to t4l!
