Your attitude to ward duty, loyalty to the service and daily appearance is an exam ple to be followed by your fellow airmen. Such efforts indicate a high sense of duty.” Airman Estrada, 21, is from Charco, Texas, and was assigned here from Donaldson AFB, S. C., in January, 1955. New Appointmenl Lt. Col. Richard J. Carmody, 37, has been appointed Chief of “A” Committee at the USAF Air Ground Operations School here. Colonel Carmody was assigned here from Hill AFB, Utah, where he was Director of Operations.

He flew 66 strafing, low and medium level, bombing missions, and has been decorated with tne Air Medal with nine oak leaf clusters.- Colonel Cajrmody and his wife, the former Mary Magee, have four children, Ann Marie, eight, Francis Xavier, seven, Theresa Ann, five, and Julie Ann, three.

Constitution and by-laws, Austin Sauls, chairman, Charlie Myers, Lynn Ledden, Ed Nicholson and Charlie Clapp. At the Friday night meeting election of permanent officers and the adoption of the constitu tion and by-laws will be held. Baird urged that all men in Southern Pines between the ages of 21 and 36—the age limits that are universal in Jaycee member ship—^be present.

An other cash crop is a necessity for Moore farmers and, many of us feel, dewberries might provide a part of the answer. Conceivably, dewberries could yield an income per acre as high as tobacco. The new Carolina variety of dewber ries is taking to Moore County’s soil pretty well, and several farm ers are planting them on an ex- perinjental basis.” J. T. McLeod, who lives about eight miles from Carthage on the Sanford road, has planted about six acres. He was the first farm er in the county to plant the new variety and so far has shown mod erate success with it. ♦ This week, following the height of the dewberry season, he fig- uijed his yield had been about 140 to 150 crates per acre for the old er plants, those planted for sev eral years. Not the high dollar yield that tobacco produces but still better than some other crops, he felt. He hopes for an eventual yield of about 200 crates per acre. McLeod feels that the biggest thing needed to help potential dewberry growers are more sub stantial markets. H^ sells most of his crop to a cannery and feels that canneries are important in the final answer as to whether farmers should get back into the business. “This year I sold a number of crates on the so-called fresh mar ket,” he said, “but found that can neries would take all I had. If the officials of the new cannery in Aberdeen, right now interested in peaches and a few other selected crops, could take all the dewber ries grown here, dewberries might make a tremendous comeback.” Harvesting the berry presents a real problem. Labor costs are high and the vines are highly re ceptive to weather changes. Last year McLeod had a very small crop due to the late cold snap. Existing farm machinery is not completely suitable for fertilizing and spraying the tail pole-held vines. And that constant thought that the berries are on a pme- what experimental basis is discon certing to many farmers. They feel that planting any ap preciable number of plants would be too much of a gamble. Several have held out against them be cause of the unusually short sea son when the berries are just right for picking. Right now the sea son is not more than three weeks. In the early 1900’s the vines were healthy and the season last ed four to five weeks. After years of prosperity the vines started falling to the “brown rot” disease and dewberries were considered just another crop that “used to be.” When the Cameron variety, so named because of the importance of Cameron as the shipping center, was introduced about 10 years ago there was increased interest. A few years of growth proved, how ever, that the vines were stronger but the number of berries was not sufficient to make the crop prof itable. L. B. McKeithen, Cameron ber ry broker, said last week that the quantity is increasing and can neries are showing more interest in the berries. Right now, he pointed out, the Winston-Salem cannery he ships all his berries to is paying 13 y2 cents per pound and furnishes crates and transpor tation. But for real prosperity, he add ed, the county needs to produce from 60,000 to 90,000 crates each year. W. D. Sabiston Presides At Moore Recorder’s Court; Rowe On Leave Annual June Sale CONTINUES . .

I As to a timetable, Mr. Lockey I said this must await the comple tion of the road, but maintained that “this is coming on very well.” I He pointed out that the base- I course, which is the final layer ap plied before the top-paving, would I be the next step, for which it is 'expected to let the contract in July. “And we can at least expect I those bare banks to be greened over by next winter,” Mr. Lockey said. As to what can be done beyond the “bare banks,” where the state- owned land ends, “this is some thing for the town to decide,” said the commissioner, adding that the waste spaces and bare eroded hiH- •sides could be turned into fine Special Term Called For Tuesday, Jime 26 W. B. Sabiston, Jr., Carthage attorney and assistant judge of Moore County Recorder’s Court, presided at the regular session Monday in the absence of Judge Vance Rowe, who is on two week’s vacation. In Oldening the court Mr. Sabis ton recalled that Judge Rowe, first elected in 1934, had never requested nor been granted a leave of absence in all that time. “This is a well deserved and rich ly earned vacation for Judge Rowe,” he commented. Judge Sabiston departed from the usual custom in writing down the judgments; he called for a secretary and, in rapid fire order, heard more than two dozen cases before adjourning court in the middle of the afternoon. He announced a special session next Tuesday, in addition to the regular one Monday, to work on a backlog of cases that have been piling up for a number of months. The cases, he pointed out, haven’t been tried because the defendants hadn’t been in court on the re quired day. Court attendants guessed he would order a num ber of bond forfeitures in order to clear the records. Judge Rowe, who is an official delegate of the Sandhill Kiwanis Club to the international conven tion being held in San Francisco, will return July 2.
