A total of IS men and women were present to hear Judge Edwards interpret the law in lay language and then were given an opportunity to ask questions. Two printed sheets were given to each individual: one explained why every one should make a will and the various types of wills: the second explained the changes in the law relative to inheritances if one fails to make a will. These changes were il lustrated by the use of pie charts and enabled one to see at a glance the proportionate share to the survivors concerned. This information was prepared under the supervision of the At torney General and in cooperation with North Carolina Extension Service at Raleigh. If you would like to have this information call at the Home Economics Agents office, court house. Murphy or telephone (VE-7-2917) or request it by let ter. Our purpose in sponsoring this meeting is to alert every adult about what happens if they fail to make a will. It would be most interesting to know how many are concerned enough to act.

Payments may run from as little as $33.00 for a single wage earner to as much as $254.00 for a family group. ASC News By L. L. KISSELBURG Every year, some farmers in North Carolina are grealty in convenienced by having planted in excess of their allotment on one of the basic crops. W. E. Mat thews, Chairman of the Agricul tural Stablization and Conservat ion State Committee, issued a re minder today to all Tar Heel farmers that it is definitely their responsibility to plant within their acreage allotments. Every year a few farmers over the State, on having their acreage measured by ASC personnel, find that they have overplanted. Many of these farmers, according to | Matthews, pay additional money out of their pockets to have a representative of the ASC county committee witness disposition of the excess acreage. Other far mers make a deposit with the ASC office to have officials rev isit the farm and remeasure the acreage. In just about every case, i this is an unnecessary drain on the farmer's pocketbook, and] in every case the time lost by these revisits to the farm is an| inconvenience to the farmer. j "That's just one of the reasons | the farmer should remember that j it is his responsibility to plant within his acreage allotment." Matthews said. Another reason is that every time a farmer plants in excess of his allotment, he is wasting seed or plants, fertilizer, and labor. Flue - cured tobacco farmers in this State have another res- 1 ponsibility , according to Matthews. | The Department of Agriculture a- j gain this year is supporting the price of certain "discounted" tob acco varieties at one-half the nor mal support rate. The responsoibility for the iden-' tification of the variety of tobacco | grown on the farm rests with the ! farmer, Matthews explained. Every fanner will be required to] sign a certificate to the effect that the has or has not planted one of the discounted varieties. "ASC wll take extensive steps to identify any tobacco of the discounted varieties that might be grown in this State. However, aoes not alter the fact that the responsibility actually rest with the farmer growing the tobacco." Matthews said. NOTICE The Draft Board will be closed May 30, SI, and June 1. Monday. Tuesday, and Wednesday, of next week.

Studies indicate that the yearly cost of owning and operating an air-conditioning system in an of fice building averges tSO to $70 per employee. However, increased, employee efficiency, reduced ab senteeism and lower maintenance costs more than compensate for the expense.

It will con tinue to increase at a rapid rate. Our secondary road building and maintenance program has fallen far behind. Prompt, aggressive action and leadership are needed! North Carolina has more small towns and communities than per haps ain other state; new access roads must be planned and built. Good hard-surfaced roads are needed ... to get our children safely to and from school . . . and workers to their jobs in nearby industries ... to make markets more accessible for our large farm population. "We should continue the present Slate-wide approach for primary and interstate roads, but the secondary road program must be returned to the people. Our Highway Commission should he enlarged to 10-14 members who represent e\ en area of the state, understand the local road problem, and have authority to do some thing about it. As taxpayers footing the bill, our people are entitled to a stronger voice in local road programs. "Yes, this is an ambitious program. It has to be. It will require much time just to catch up.
