ings from a state highway patrolman i
now will cost a driver his 'license,!

said today in announcing a new de-'
velopment in North Carolina's ef
forts to make the roads safe.
Highway patrolmen have been
equipped with printed slips carrying

arrest, Fulk said. Copies of the no
tices will be sent to patrol offices
here, he explained, and when one
driver hag accumulated. three black
marks against his name, his lecense
will be taken.
Heretofore many motorists have
been warned for minor infractions
and a number have had their licen
ses suspended but there has been no
way of recording such "warnings,"
Fulk said.
However, the patrol will not be
too hai-d on motorists who lose their,
licenses. through such "notices."
Fulk said the drivers would be giv
en instructions in highway safety
and rules of the road and would
have their permits returned if they
passed an examination.

65,000 MAY RE-ENROLL
IN CCC CAMPS
Washington, Sept. 18.—A ruling |
by the comptroller general today au-!
thorized re-enrollment October 1 of j
nearly 65,000 Civilian Conservation
Corps enrollees who previously were
declared ineligible because of ser- j
vice limitations.
It was held that restrictions in the 1
act extending the CCC for three
years which prohibited re-enroll- j
ment of youths who had served more
than IB months were effective July i
1.
Earlier, it was believed that the
restrictions were retroactive and ef
forts had been made by CCC officials!
to obtain employment for the youthsI
who would have been discharged on j
October 1.
Due to reported improved condi- j
tions m private industry, nearly halt !
of the 65,000 enrollees are expected
to seek employment, leaving the re
mainder to. re-enroll in the corps.
The CCC will start an enrollment
period October 1 in an effort to
bring the corps strength to 300,000
—the n;axiraum provided by law.
The number of camps will be redu
ced to 1,602 by October 15, it was j
said.
The extension lav/ ^Iso prohibits
re-enrollment of youths who have !
reached 24 years of age, and nearly
12,000 are expected to be affected
by the limitation.

SUGAR HILL CLUB MEETS
The Sugar Hill Home Demonstra
tion Club met Monday, September
13, at Mrs. W. M. Wilson's home.;
I
America was sung by the club and
collect read, after which a poem, I
"Christlike," was read by one of the j
members. During the business ses- j
sion the club members voted, as j
their choice, to have "Home Man
agement" as their major project for
the coming year. The county fair
was discussed also.
Each member seemed very much
interested in the thorough demon- j
stration Miss Tucker gave on refin- j
ishing furniture. Mrs. W. M. Wilson!
demonstrated fall and winter fash- j
ions.
Refreshments consisting of cake,
ice cream, lemonade and iced tea,

FOURTH WINTER
The WPA is preparing to face its i
fourth winter as the major relief!
agency of the nation but with the
expectation of providing for not
more than 1,500,000 persons at a
cost of $1,500,000,000. This con
trasts with the employment of 2,
500,000 persons in the fiscal year of
1936-37 at a cost of approximately
$2,500,000,000.
A small advertisement in our col
umns often returns large dividends.
!
Less Monthly Discomfort
Many women, who formerly suf- !
fered from a weak, run-down con
dition as a result of poor assimila- ]
tion of food, say they benefited by i
taking CARDUI, a special medicine j
for women. They found it helped to j
increase the appetite and improve
digestion, thereby bringing them
more strength from their food.
Naturally there is less discomfort
at monthly periods when the system
has been strengthened and the vari
ous functions restorfed and regulated.
Cardul, praised by thousands of women.
Is well worth trying. Of course, If not
benefited, consult » physician.
