The Tom McBryde farm in the Blue Springs community now has its herd on a per formance testing program. The cow is branded and at birth her calf is tagged with a matching number. Calves are branded, weighed and graded when 205 days old and an index is kept which assists in culling the least desirable cows. J. H.

The John Balfour farm feat ured Angus cattle. He pointed out that about 50 calves were dropped in less than a 30-day period. The herd was wintered successfully on silage.

Five producers have had their cows pregnancy-tested this year. Four Robeson County men were given suspended 12-month terms and fined $200 each here 1 uesday uii charges of possess ing two distillery outfits and illicit whisky for sale.

During February a total of $1,285 in past due taxes was collected after levy notices were mailed out. Collections during the previous month prior to the mailing of notices was only $29.07, "It is not fair for some people to get by without paying taxes while others have to walk a chalk line," Williams said. The town needs the money and Wll- limas said the drive will be continued, if the past due bills are not paid by the specified time, or some arrangements made for catching them up, other methods of collecting will be used, he said. The town manager said the town can use the garnishee method as the state and fed eral government does or it can legally attach personal property.

Class members have gone overboard in getting together an authentic stage set, F. S. Braswell, director, said. They started more than a month ago collecting bamboo for back ground material. Antique furni ture and pictures have been loaned by local individuals and stores. Mrs. Sam Hiser has assisted with the art work. While the plot is centered around three convicts from whom the title, “My Three Angels," was derived, cos tumes on the whole will be elaborate. Designed by Bras well, dresses to be worn by the girls will be fasltidiously beaded and laced. A gown to be worn by one of the three fe males will require five yards of heavy lace, nine yards of silk and three yards ot taffeta plus an array of pearls and sequins. The prisoners’ clothes have been made by the home econo mics department but cut-aways to be worn by other male mem bers of the cast will be rented. Braswell advised that those who purchase advance tickets will have first chance at choice seats in the auditorium. A section of seats will be reserved for the purpose but at the rate advance sales are going a ticket holder will still be obliged to arrive early in order to get a desired seat. By Tuesday morning more than $200 had been turned in from tickets’ sold.. “The large number so early in the week points toward a sellout." the director said.
