Fee to Be Charged.
BANNER ELK, X. C.?Lces-MeRae
College will begin construction of a
new gymnasium and auditorium in
time to have the building roofed for
the 1935 commencement exercises, it
was announced Tuesday by Edgar H.
Tufts, president of the college.
At a meeting of the student body
called by Fred I. Dickersoh, coach,
last week the students voted unanimously
to pay five dollars each next
fall towards the gymnasium fund.
This pledge will be binding upon new
students entering next fall as well as
upon those already in school. The five
dollars will be an athletic fee covering
admission to all contests as well
as use of the new gymnasium
At a meeting of the board of trustees
of the Edgar Tufts Memorial Association
bust week-end it was voted
to match dollar for dollar the amount
contributed from other sources until
a total of five thousand dollars had
been raised. The building when it is
fully completed and sided with native
stone to match the other Lees-McRae
buildings will cost ten thousand dollars,
Mr. Tufts aid. Money already
contributed, together with the thousand
dollars already pledged by the
students, and matched by the trustees'
adds up to nearly twenty-six
hundred dollars already accounted for
and with the half-way mark of five
thousand in sight the college is justified
in proceeding, he said.
Students to Do Work
Students working for an education
will do most of the actual const ruction.
as has been tb? ease with most
of the LK?es-MeRae buildings. Tentative
plans drawn by Charles F. Whitesell,
instructor in wood-working at
the college, call for a chestnut log
building to be sided with stone, located
on the sloping bank of the Elk
River just behind the present stone
buildings. The slope of the hank will

watching basket ball and other gp mes |
and for dressing rooms, lockers and I
showers underneath the floor. A large ,
stage at one end will provide good j
auditorium facilities.
It has been two years since the |
floor of tin- old gymnasium in the j
North Carolina building gave way. j
and in the meantime Coach Dickersbn
has managed to turn out basket ball
teams which have held their own in
the junior college league.
Friends of the school are urged by
Mr. Tut'ls to join the students teachers
ami alumni in contributing to the
fund for the new gymnasium-auditorium.

KEEP CODDLING MOTHS
AWAY FROM ORCHARDS
Orchardists must wage a relentless
battle with the coddling moUi, the
worst apple pest in North Carolina,
declares M. E. Gardner, head of the
horticulture department at State College.
An early clean-up of the orchards,
packing stfr'eHs anntp. boxes, and. other
places where cocoons spend the winter
will destroy a great many of the
insects, he says.
Scrape the bark of the trees, prune
out unnecessary limbs, gather up the
twig's and coarse weed stems in and
near the orchard, and burn all the
trash thus collected, urges Gardner.
Boxes which have been used to hold
wormy fruit should be placed inside
the. packing shed, or other building
which can be kept tightly closed until
midsummer. Screens on the windows
and doors of the sheds will aid
materially in Keeping: the moths away
from the apple trees.
The cocoons which have infested
packing boxes may be killed by steaming
the boxeg or dipping them in
boiling water. Gardner points out
that the cost of such treatment is
very small.
Since it is difficult to kill all the
moths and eggs after the fruit has
become infested, he adds, the most
important preventative method is to
kill as many cocoons as possible or
keep them inside the packing shed.
He states that an orehardist in Illinois
spent $35 to screen a large
packing shed and make it mothtight.
In one season 200,000 moths
were trapped inside the shed. Orcharuists
in this State would take
every precautions to kill the moths
while they are in a dormant state,
says Gardner.
Mrs Louise Bruhns of New London.
Conn., has sued for $5,000 damages,
claiming that a ball driven by a golfer
struck her on the head.
