II *■» ' '.l', Slate ABC Board Steps Up Program To Enforce Law - > Educational Program Started In Connec tion WJthEf fort The State ABC Board has an nounced a stepped-up program of education and law enforcement in a move to obtain fuller compli ance with laws and regulations governing the Sale of beer and ale. Indicative of the State-wide crackdown, Chairman Tom Allen revealed that approximately 3,000 more inspections of retail outlets were made in February than the, previous month. He said the Jan uary total was a step-up from the monthly average last year. Allen disclosed that the Malt Beverage Division, which is charg ed with enforcing the beer laws, had inaugurated an educational campaign in conjunction with the accelerated enforcement effort. “We are inviting law enforce ment agencies in all counties and municipalities where the sale of beer is legal to join us in bring ing about better conditions,” he continued. “We are determined that a minority of bad operators shall not injure the public welfare and bring disrepute to the entire legal control system.” Allen said he preferred to call the new program a step-up of the educational and enforcement effort rather than a crack-down. “We are confident that our intensified approach to the problem will have industry backing and that fuller cooperation will produce good re sults.” The ABC chairman said Ronald Hocutt, chief of the Malt Bever age Division, had initiated the ac celerated inspection program in ■ January and said some highly sat isfactory results had been obtain- ; ed. He cited Division records which show the inspection of re- | tail outlets rose from 4,771 in Jan uary to 7,974 last month. During the two-month period, there were 24 revocations of permits, 28 sus- j pensions and 44 warnings to opera tors in cases where there was no clear-cut law violation. Applica tions for permits to sell beer were denied in 35 irtstances after a thor ough investigation of the appli cants. Stricter screening of pejmit ap plicants is a part of the new pro gram, Allen said. Hearings on citations issued af ter inspectors have observed out lets and found violations are how ranging up to 00 a month. At'the I jtrjesliiilt time, hearings o(i 45'cita tions are pbnding. Other deVbloptnehts in' the ,drive to improve outlet standards and eliminate .unsatisfactory conditions include a request that operators fully instruct their employees in all laws and regulations, Allen said. Many permits are lost be cause employees do not know the law governing beer sales, he ex plained. “Ignorance of the law cannot be accepted as an excuse when the public interest is at stake and we believe many mistakes can be avoided if operators fully in form their help,” he 1 added. Tar Heels Inquire Most About State North Carolinians, closely fol lowed by New Yorkers, were the most frequent seekers of informa tion about the Tar Heel State last year, records of the State Adver tising Division of the Department of Conservation and Development, show. The bulk of 125,634 inquiries aboutrthe State in 1955 were about its vacation attractions, Advertis ing Director Charles Parker said, but the division also responded to many requests for general infor mation. During the year inquiries came from all 48 states, the Dis trict of Columbia, and 96 foreign countries and territories. The 10 states, producing the most inquiries are, in order: North . Carolina 18,488, New York 15,097, Ohio 8,677, Pennsylvania 8,207, New Jersey 6,351, Illinois 6,168, L Michigan 6,051, California 4,387, Virginia 4,017, and Florida 3,413. Canada led foreign countries by E. a wide margin with 1861 inquiries, Spain was second with 196. The | 'other top ten were; in order: In | donesia 146, Brazil 143, Argentina j|' 127, Iraq 126, England 97, Turkey l 68, New Zealand 67, and Belgium I 62. i Iron Curtain satellites heard 1 from included Czechoslovakia 9 and Bulgaria 3, but the Advertising g Division received no mail from the I Soviet Union proper.

Tall plants are useful to screen out undesirable views; and bushy plants serve well to fill up shady corners. Largest of the foliage plants that grow quickly from seed is the castor bean.

It makes a bush 2t4 feet tall, which contrib utes its bright colors to the gar den picture all summer. Coleus, a favorite of our grand mothers, can be grown from seed in a variety of brilliant col ors. It does well in the sun or light shade and is excellent for ' planting boxes which do not get the southern sun. Flowering kale, a member of the cabbage family, becomes a colorful subject in the fall. Its dark green leaves develop color patterns in white, cream, pink, rose, and purple, which become more brilliant as the season ad vances.

In the early fall, the whole bush be comes bright carmine. Celosias (cockscomb), bear plumes of a texture resembling plush or chenille, colored in tones of red, pink, yellow and orange. There are many varie ties of different heights and forms. Some are used by florists in making corsages and the plumes are easily dried for win ter use. Euphorbia (snow on th4 moun tain) is related to the poinsettia. It grows 2 feet tall, and bears leaves of dark green edged with white, which are attractive foils for brighter colored plants. The spider plant, cleome pun gens. with its divided leaves and dark stems, is a desirable foliage plant even before its attractive flowers develop. Leaves of flowering plants dif fer in tones of green, and for gardeners interested in color composition, there are blue green, gray greens, and yellow greens to consider. Stocks and California poppies have gray green foliage which is a restful foil for their brilliant flowers. Nasturtiums have yellow green leaves, which add to the interest I of their section of the garden. i> each club member present judge a pen of four steers. J. K.
