An old lady was taking a pet
tortoise by train from London to ‘
Edinburgh and wanted to know
whether she ought to buy a dog
, ticket for it—as one has to do {
in England when taking a cat

count as dogs.
“No, mum,” said the tickets
inspector, “Cats is dogs, and dogs

Road Numbering
i Project Progress
Retorted By SMC
i
Plan Calls For Num
bering All Second
ary Roads
The State Highway Depart
ment reports good progress in
its program of numbering sec-,
ondary road'facilities through-1
out the State. State Traffic'
Engineer Robert Burch says the
license plate type signs have
now appeared in each of the j
14 highway divisors and the!
numbering system will be com
pletely finished by- the January
target date. ‘ j
Each road in the State’s 58,000 •
mile secondary system will car-1
ry its own number and road
signs showing the number willj
appear at every road intersec
tion when the program is com
pleted. It is estimated that
some 250,000 signs, prepared by
I the State Prison System, will be
i needed to round out the pro
gram.
I Early in the summer, the
Highway Commission approved]
| the numbering procedure to
I eliminate confusion which has
j resulted from the traditional U 93
of local road names to designate,
■ secondary facilities. Highway
officials and the general public
alike had trouble pinpointing'
road requests and petitions for J
improvement s’nce some roads
carried as many as three or
, four different local names. Un
; der the present program, roads
I are assigned a simple four digit
1 number, white numbers cn aI
black background and reflec- j
i torized for the convenience of j
night-time driving. White ar
rows point to the designated j
road and a smaller number at j
the bottom of the sign indicates |
the number of the county in ]
; which the road is located.
1 County numbers are in a'p’a
betical order within 'a highway
d vision, beginning wi:h eastern
1 North Carolina highway division
and moving westward.
Hgiiway officials are confi
| dent that the numbering system
will be of considerable value to
: motorists who may be unfa
miliar with the area through
which they are traveling. When

Legion Auxiliary Planning For
Christmas Gifts For Veterans
The October meeting of the
Edward G. Bond unit No. 40,
American Legion Auxiliary, was
held at the home of Mrs. Mack
Rogerson. The Membership
Committee reported that only
ten fembers had paid their dues
for the next Auxiliary year. The
secretary urged the committee to
get the memberships in by No
vember 6 in order that they can
he in the Department office by
November 10.
The unit voted to hold' a joint
supper meeting with the Post on
November 10, at which time a
short program in celebration of
Veterans Day will be given.
The unit members are asked
to bring to this meeting gifts
ior the Christmas gift shops at
the veterans’ hospitals in North
Carolina. These gifts are to cost
not less than SI.OO and not more
than $3.00.
Following are some gift sug
gestions:
Men: Tie and sock sets, socks
(sized), shaving sets, pen and
pencil sets, handkerchiefs, under
wear (sized), billfolds, toilet ar
ticles.
Women: Hose (sized), cos
metics, pen and pencil sets, un
derwear (sized), dress lengths,
aprons, towels, bath sets, pillow
cases, costume jewelry (new,
please).
Children: Books, crayons,
paint sets, toys, baby clothes
en road number it will be easier
for the motorist to f'nd a par
ticular location without stopping
at every crossroad to inquire.
The system will a'so be in
valuable to the Commission in a
more accurate record keeping of
construction projects and main
tenance costs. Several of the
Highway divisions have had
numbering systems for their
own purposes for several years.
The new plan, of standard zing
numbering throughout the State
will permit the posting of the
roads for the convenience of the
traveling public.
The Highway Department es
timates the cost of each sign at
$0.27 with the total cost for
numbering the entire system set
at approximately $60,000.

Taking Os The 1959 Census Os
Agriculture is scheduled to begin
in Chowan County on November
18. It is very important that
every farm family in the county
give full cooperation.
About November 11, a week
beforg, each farmer should re
ceive a questionnaire through the
mail. Use this questionnaire to
assemble your information so you
will have it ready for the census
taker when he calls.
The agricultural census is very :
important for several reasons. It
is very important in time of w'ar
but just as important in time of
peace. Everyone is affected by j
our agriculture because people]
everywhere and at all times need
food and clothing.’ Millions of
nonfarm people are affected by
what happens in agriculture.
A census is needed because a
large number of operating units
are engaged in agricultural pro
duction. The 1959 census will
-bring facts about U. S. Agricul
ture up to date. It will provide
facts abbut changes in agricul
ture. The 1959 Census of Agri
culture is required by an Act of
Congress.
Last, but not least, the agri
cultural census is very valuable
in agricultural program planning.
Your county agricultural work
ers refer and use it very fre
quently. In my work, as your
county agricultural agent, I use
the census very often. Behind
the scenes, the census is very
valuable to farmers in their
farm programs.
“A job worth doing is worth
doing well.” Let’s give the cens
us takers our full cooperation.
