Garden Tools Must Get Good Attention By BERTHA FORTE Home Extension Agent Protect your investment in garden equipment. Give garden tools, hose and even the lawn mower a good cleaning before storing for the winter. That way they'll be in good shape for yard work next spring. Scrape all mud and grass off the metal parts of garden tools. Use a wire brush, putty knife or even an old table knife. To get small rust spots out, use fairly coarse sand paper. Finally, lubricate the metal parts of the tools. Put a little oil on a rag and wipe the metal surface leaving only a thin film. Drain the garden hose before storing. dark place in your garage or basement is an ideal spot to winter it. Just don't leave the hose outside And hang it on a curved surface-not a hook. Don't forget to winterize the lawn mower either. Drain the gas tank and carburetor. This cuts down the danger of leakage, and gums and resins forming that could clog the engine. Also, gas in the engine can be a fire hazard. Get out your owner's manual for further storage directions. Before storing electric power tooks-like hedge trimmers-wipe the blades clean and apply a thin film of oil. Then store in a clean, dry place. Some tools with rechargable batteries shouldn't be left in the cold. Check your owner's manual on this. So take a little time for fall clean-up of garden equipment. That way, you'll be all set for next year's growing season.

New Booklet Available On Black Experience "The Black Experience in Revolutionary North Carolina," a new booklet in the V. C. Bicentennial Pamphet Series, is now available. The 121-page softcover jooklet, written by Dr. leffrey J. Crow of the iistorical Publications Secion of the Department of Cultural Resources, outlines the growth of slavery in colonial North Carolina, studies patterns of white control and black resistance, and describes the participation of blacks in the Revolutionary War and the impact of the Revolution on the slaves. "The study .... attempts to examine the nature of life for black Carolinians," Dr. Crow writes in the preface. Dr. Crow relied extensively on public records, such as court documents, to research the booklet. The scarcity of manuscripts dealing with plantation life in North Carolina reflects the make-up of the state's population - mostly small farmers who owned few, if any, slaves. Dr. Crow emphasizes that although slavery was "firmly rooted in the Old North State by 1800, its growth lagged behind the development of slavery in other southern colony-states." The booklet shows that although many Afro-Americans served on the patriot side, many more joined the British who openly encouraged slave rebellion. Also included is a genealogically important appendix listing the names and service records of Tar Heel blacks who fought in the Continental Line or militia. The illustrated booklet, 13th in the series of 16, is available for $1.50 at the Archives and History-State Library Bldg., or by mail from the Historical Publications Section, Department of Cultural Resources, 109 Kast Jones Street, Raleigh, I Bridewell Tended Jail In < iiluniitl ilnyr* IIm* iimii win# look ml uflr*l IIh* IoWII ] ci 11 woo known mb H First PTA Meeting Of Year Held Here Mariam Boyd School held its first PTA meeting of the year Thursday night with about 175 parents and teachers attending.
