The new plans were approved by all citizens present at Thursday’s meeting. Dr. Rankin, according to a letter written to Mr. Harris, can make nc specific promises of amount of assistance available. General , im-t pression is that the Foundation contributions, if any, will be on a proportionate basis and not too large. Contained in Dr. Rankin's letter was a statement that any hospital here should be of at least forty bed capacity. Presiding at the meeting Thursday night, whi-'h vfas second general gathering v-P Ifc-C. Mcroeriol hos pital group was George W. Kane, general chairman, who announced the appointment of W. Wallace Woods as permanent secretary, re placing the acting secretary, J. S. J Merritt, who has been named di- j rector of publicity.

Anyway here is the tale George Fox, mayor of Brooksdale, headed down east after to bacco plants. In going east he naturally went through Raleigh. Now George did not know his way around Raleigh any too well and as he was trying to get on the right road out of Raleigh he ran into the road going back to Durham. Thi« was not the same road that he had come into Raleigh on so George did not recognize it. He thought that he was on the road to east Carolina and when he found out where he was he was almost back in Durham—Just a few miles from the city limit. I am glad that I was not there to hear what he had to say. HOME FIRST, ABROAD NEXT Rites Will Be Held Tuesday For Mrs. Gregory Person Native Dies This Morning At Her Timb erlake Home. !

Raleigh, speak on “Insect Control" and also attend a garden | demonstration on the extermina tion of bugs, beetles, and worms that eat up vegetables unless they are •destroyed, according to announce ment made today by Miss Evelyn > Caldwell. The prime purpose of this meet ' ing is to train leaders among our club women who have been desig nated to take charge of the June | meetings of our Home Demonstra tion Clubs in the .County so they lean pass cn to their neighbors all the information they obtain at the Training Meeting While this meet ing is especially for Project Lead ers. all Club women who are inter ested in attending will be welcome. 1 The group will assemble at the I court house, in the Grand Jury Room, at, 2:30 P. M„ Friday, May 25th. If weather permits, the out door: meeting will be held in the garden of Mrs. W. R. Woody, in Roxboro. Mr. Maxwell lias for many years made an exysrwjvs' study -of,the con - trol of garden and crop insects In j the United States, i / Every year the losses caused by {crop pests amount to millions of j dollars in North Carolina and this year the. Insect pest situation is I particularly threatening, according to Mr. Maxwell, reports that the emergence of boll weevil is much i greater this year than in many years past. Chinch bugs threaten the corn crop in some areas. The Mexican bean. beetle, the coddling moth, the’ potato leafhopper, and the pea aphid, for example, are on i the move, he says.;. Farmers cannot depend on ad verse weather conditions to help them control the. pests. The pests multiply so rapidly that favorable weather for only a short time may cause serious damage to crops and growers must be prepared to fight the pests. On account of transpor tation difficulties, materials for fighting the various pests should be obtained well in advance of the season when they are to be used. With the demand for increased food and feed crops greater than at any [other time in the history of the [United States to supply fighting forces, allies, and liberated coun tries. Maxwell urges North Caro jlina growers not to depend on the {weather for insect control but to {take definite steps to fight them. The same is also true for plant di seases. There are scarcities of many in secticides. "If growers wait to order insecticides until the pests are ac tually attacking the crops in'num bers, it is not likely that deliveries can be made in time," Maxwell says.
