Lifestyles Wise lime investment important How Eclcarioa Ageat You have the greatest gift of all -time. The value of time lies in the way it is used. The way you and your family use the 24 hours in each day will determine whether you enjoy the fullest in ac complishment and satisfaction. Time is most valuable when in vested in successful living. This would indude enough time for work, rest, and leisure activities to bring health, happiness, income, community status, and content ment to you and your family. Time is made available; it is up to you to get the most out of it. Time is always passing; it never returns. Time can be wasted just as money, energy, and materials are wasted. Time can be measured, and therefore, apportioned to the things worthwhile for you and your family. Consider these guides for investing your time more wise ly: ?Identify clear-cut aims. Wise use of time requires that a definite sense of values be developed, and that there be self-discipline to live up to them. You and your family can begin by honestly answer ing these questions: After 27 years Evelyn M. Bryant has recently retired from the Raeford Plant of Burlington Industries.

In answering these questions, remember that an eternity of time would not permit your having and doing everything. Each day has on ly 24 hours. Each person has cer tain demands on time. Be selective. Decide on the things that are most important. ?Establish patterns for suc cessful living. These patterns must be practical and mean ingful to your family. Con siderations might include: * Maintaining a balance among work, rest, and leisure with time for per sonal, home, and communi ty activities. * Eliminating time wasters such as idleness, pro crastination - putting off dreaded tasks, and wasteful practices caused by habit or custom. * Scheduling a time for routine activities with flex ibility for unexpected or spontaneous activities. * Concentrating on the im portant and discarding the unimportant without worry. * Encouraging the coopera tion of all family members with each member carrying his responsibility according to his ability and within his time limit. ?Make a time plan. Some type of plan is needed to make time for all things that are impor tant. Let all family members help plan and share the responsibility for carrying out the plan. Your plan can be as simple or as detailed as you need to accomplish your aims. Be realistic and practical. * Determine the importance of each activity - list the things which "must-be done," "ought to be done," and "would like to do." * Schedule your activities, putting the most important first. ?Work effectively.

Storm-damaged trees can be maintained. By Willie Featberstone, Jr. Coaaty Extension Chairman Recent high winds through Hoke County and the southeastern part of North Carolina have caus ed extensive damage to pecan trees and shade trees. Fortuantely the damage in Hoke County is not as severe as -tteau^ioat the-eoastal counties. ..However, if vou have damage ? TKere are some things that you can do to repair this damage. Many Hoke County residents also own property on the North Carolina coast and these points will be helpful in repairing trees that are damapad'fhere as well as .here in Hoke Coualy. The extent - of the damage to each tree must first be determined. Very large trees which were uprooted, such as what happened in the Dundarrach Community, must be completely removed. Smaller trees can often be set upright, straightened, and secured with the aid of guy wires. Given time and future maintenance they will recover. Drastic pruning will be necessary on trees where tops and large bran ches were broken or twisted. These la^ml^^FvTotK threat to human life and property and * should be removed as soon as possible. Where there is severe damage the repair procedures will involve p running which resembles "dehor ning". The practice of severely - pruning large limbs is knoiwn as dehorning and is generally frown ed upon and not acceptable as a Extension News recommended pruning practice. Arborists (specialists in the care and maintenance of trees) do rely on this technique when a tree is under stress-such as from severe root damage, or severe die back and the resulting disfigurement o( the tree tfright be the only workable solution to saving Generally elm, poplar, sycamore, and silver maple tolerate this better than other species (hickory, oak). . Those broken limbs should be pruned back to the next crotch. This is bet ter tha??.ttn>bbit" them back. Branches and trunks which split will require the use of cables and bolts for bracing purposes. The unbroken branches should be left unpruned to help manufacture food for the rest of the tree during the recovery period. In summary, pruning cuts should be for broken branches on ly and should be taken back to the nearest crotch. The stub cut should be minimized, if not avoided altogether. Trees uprooted and suffering from damage w3T need to bCThmned" to adjust thecanepy to the remaining roots. Trees in stress condition should be fertilized at once. Pruning should be done within the next week and fertilizer could be ap plied in October. 30-40 lbs. of -40-10-10 fertilizer per 1 /)00 square feet of soil area under the spread of the branches would be ade quate.
