Hardsurfacing of
Road Sections To
Hoke Line Urged
Judge Rowe Speaks Mind On Reckless
Driving; Sees Cooperation As Need
Two sections of road off from
Highway 1 north, to the Hoke
County line, border of the Fort
Bragg reservation, were placed by
the county commissioners Tues
day on their “recommended” list
for State hardsurfacing and main
tenance, on request of Dunk Mc-
Crimmon, of Southern Pines.
The roads are (1) the continu
ation of Youngs road from Notre
Dame academy (where the hard-
surfacing now stops), and (2) the
road leading Off from near Cliff
Garner’s service station through
the Sweetheart Lake property.
They are 2.1 and 2.2 miles long
respectively, a total of 4.3 miles.
McCrimmon appeared as a del
egation of one in behalf of the
roads. These were the only road
requests made at the Tuesday
meeting, which was postponed
one day from the regular first
Monday on account of the New
Years holiday.
All road requests made to them
are being reconxmended for State
care, the conimissioners said.
Despite the wiping off of the en
tire backlog of requests as of last
July 1, with the request from the
State that selectivity be exercised
to keep the requests within a
maximum specified mileage, the
commissioners said they feel’ un
able to pick arid choose. They
leave the selection up to the state
engineers, who are then supposed
to survey all recoihmended roads
and base thir choice on use and
necessity.
En mid-December all the com
missioners’ recommendations
were returned to them in a bun
dle, without explanation. Wheth
er this means they are supposed
to start their list from scratch
again, or select certain roads from
the list for the engineers’ attn-
tion, they said they do not know.
Anyway, they said they are going
right along making all recommen
dations, as requested by Moore
County citizens appearing before
them. ■

over as it hit the sandy shoulder,
“spun like a wheel.”

Sand Co. Yields
Land Interest o
The Aberdeen Sand company
has released its interest in a 30-
acre tract, part of the old Chapin
Orchard land on the Aberdeen-
Pinehurst road, which it had^held
for production of commercial sand
through a 12-year agreement
made in 1939 with the late S. B.
Chapin.
On Mr. Chapin’s death the
property, with ether parts of the
old orchard land, went\ through
his bequest to Harold Hartshorne
of Lake Geneva, Wis., and W. M.
Herndon of Sanford, to whom the
sand company’s interest was re-
elased. This will in no way affect
the current operations of the Aber
deen Sand ecmpany, which is now
mihing its own land, said a
spokesman for the company this
week.
Indenture papers and a deed of
release given by Hartshorne and
Herndon to the sand coriipany
were filed at Carthage this week.
The indenture is signed by John
Twohy, 2nd, president of the
Aberdeen Sand company, which
has headquarters at Norfolk,. Va.,
and also by Adair Wright, secre
tary. An interesting sidelight is
the fact that Twohy’s signature
was affixed to a certificate he
signed before the U. S. consul at
Oslo, Norway, last August.

Deane Working As Congress Opens For
Legislation To Relieve Cotton Crisis
Representative Charles B.
Deane of the Eighth Congression
al District, on arrival in Wash
ington Tuesday, immediately con
ferred with Democratic leaders of
the House of Representatives on
ways and means to expedite leg
islation to relieve the serious cris
is due to the recent cotton allot
ments, as made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture . under the
Cotton Quota act.
Mr. Deane returned to Washing
ton after having advised with
many cotton growers in his dis
trict and reported that he is ab
solutely convinced that legisla
tion must be immediately cleared
by the Congress to remedy the
drastic reduction involving many
cotton growers.”
This problem is not only a ser
ious one for the owner or cotton
producer, but will result in a real
crisis among the tenant popula-
tion, said Mr. Deane, adding, “Un
less some relief is granted for the
approaching cotton season, great
numbers of these displaced ten
ants will be forced on our county
welfare boards where even now
thejy are having to go for actual
subsistence.”
The Eighth District Congressman
said he is giving his active sup
port to a house resolution intro
duced Tuesday by Representative
Harold D. Cooley, chairman of the
House Agriculture committee,
which will seek to adjust difficul
ties caused by the Cotton Quota
act. This legislation would pro
hibit the reduction of any far
mer’s cotton quota below 30 per
cent of what the farmer grew on
an average in 1946, 1947 and 1948.
The additional acreage required to
be allotted to farms under this
resolution will be in addition to
the presently announced quotas,
Mr. Deane, in his release from
Washington, advised that the full
House Agriculture committee is
planning to consider this legisla
tion January 11. He said he urg
ed the members of this commit
tee to adopt this resolution
promptly so that it may Be
brought-to the floor of the House
for immediate action.
He likewise expressed the hope
that the threatened filibuster in
the Senate on the repeal of the
oleomargarine tax might be post
poned until such time as this leg
islation to relieve the cotton acre
age allotments crisis can be pass
ed, so cotton farmers may go
ahead and make their plans for
the approaching season.
