. . . Around T own continued (Continued from page 1A) course, we all make mistakes and it is so easy to blame the post office if mail service seems to be slow. Recently Warren Johnston, editor of The News- Journal, showed me a letter that was delivered to his home on North Main Street. The letter was ad dressed to Jack Johnson, Main St., Radford, Ya.. It. was from the Charter Federal Savings & Loan, Christianburg, Va. The Va. on the address looked very much like NC the way the writing was on the envelope. Now if the person seir -ding the letter had used the rip code for Raeford, Warren wouldn't have received the letter: The service by the post office was good, because it was marked Nov. 12 and received here Nov. 15. Anyway, Warren wrote Virginia on the envelope and it should reach Jack Johnson. ? * ? The following article came across my desk and, being a former National Guardsman, I am happy to run it in this column. - Benefit for a SP National Guardsman David Swain is a 19 year old young man with Hodgkin's disease. David graduated from Pinecrest High School in June of 1983, then that summer joined North Carolina National Guard. In Sept. of 1983 David went to Fort Knox for basic training. While in basic, he was hospitalized for 1 1 days for what, seemed to be a virus. In January, of 1984 he returned home and everyone * thought he was' just tired from the training courses. Really., there seemed to be no signs of illness, " just fatigue. It went on through spring and summer; as David was working two jobs, we thought he was just burnt out. In the fall David's lymphnoid glands in .the neck area began to swell- large in size. That's when - David found that he wasn't burnt out; he had a serious illness -Hodgkin's disease. Since the first of October, David has had 2 Cat scans, 2 bone mar row tests, 2 bioscopes - intervein dye, tonsils removed and major surgery (removing his spleen) from hi* rfnwn Now David has 20 to 40 radiation treatments ahead of him. David's insurance doesn't cover even a small fraction of these ex penses. The Cancer Society turned his application down because he made $2,000.00 above their line of eligibility. David still has truck and mobile home payments and has been unable to work for the last 2 months and will be unable to wprk until February. Plus, now he has all these medical expenses. The National "Guard Unit- from Southern "Pines and friends' of the family are putting on a. benefit Dec. 8, 1984 for David's expenses. Please come out to the SP Ar mory and help us support this cause. There will be chicken -& dumplings and BBQ plates, S3. SO, bake sale and bingo from 12 noon until. \ We wish to thank everyone that has been supporting us on this benefit. Please come out to the ar mory Dec. 8, 1984. Donations toward the benefit are still being accepted if you would like to send a donation: Betty Clapp, Rt. 1, Box 124, West End, NC 27376. Antifreeze deadly to dogs DEAR DOCTOR: My neighbor's dog recently died after drinking antifreeze. Is this com mon? Why do dogs drink it? What does it do to the dog? ANSWER: Antifreeze is a com mon cause of poisoning in small animals. Dogs and cats drink an tifreeze because it has a sweet flavor. Very small amounts are very poisonous-teaspoons of an You And Your Pet ti freeze can kill 3 dog and drops can kill a cat. Ethylene glycol, the active ingre dient of antifreeze, causes crystals to form in the Kidneys, leading to Kidney failure and death. Initial signs seen after an animal drinks antifreeze are apprehension, depression, vomiting, and incoor dination. These signs progress to coma and death. If the dog receives prompt treat ment by a veterinarian, he may survive. ( This column is provided as a public service by the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association.)

PRICES ffFECnVE THRU DEC. 1 Blaze in the county A fire fought by North Raeford Fire Department and Hillcrest Fire Department, erupted at the rural home of Cottie Mae Edens last week. Ms. Edens was at home at the time of the fire and reported it herself. According to the victim, she had gone to get some clothes to take to the laundry and , upon retur ning to the house, discovered the floor on fire. "I didn 7 expect the fire truck to get here as fast as it did, "said Edens. "It will be a long time before I get over this, " she said. Shown here are firemen taking the electrical meter off the house. Faulty wiring was cited as the cause of the fire by one fireman at the scene. Poor pecan harvest tied to lack of fertilizers If your pecans dropped prematurely this fall or if those that you are harvesting are of poor quality or low yield, the problems could be diseases, lack of adequate fertilizer or a combination of fac tors. Scab, a fungus disease, is one of the main problems with pecans year after year. Mildew, another fungus, may be a contributing fac tor. * - On the nuts, leaves and shoots, scab causes premature defoliation and mummified nuts. Severely in fected nuts may fall prematurely or they may remain attached to the tree for an indefinite period of time. Once the infection is established, it persists and the only method of control is to adopt a regular spray schedule which requires expensive power operated equipment and is not practical for a person with only a few trees around the home. If you are lucky enough to be isolated and not troubled with fungus diseases, you may wonder Extension I News Willie Featherstone Jr County Extension Chairman why your trees "bear a good crop one year and a very small, or no crop the next." Barring frost or freeze injury, this alternate year bearing is due to lack of fertilization. The produc tion of a crop of nuts is a severe strain on the tree reserves and it takes one year for the tree to build up reserves for another crop. This alternate bearing can be corrected by fertilizing the trees every spring. The amount of fer tilizer to use will depend upon the soil type. A general recommenda tion would be to use about one pound of fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, per tree just prior to bud swell in late February or early March the first year, and two pounds per tree the second year. The third and succeeding years ap ply four pounds of 10-10-10 fer tilizer for each inch of trunk diameter. TULIP BULBS LIKE LONG COLD PERIOD The period between Thanksgiv ing and Christmas is acceptable for planting tulip bulbs in Hoke Coun ty, North Carolina. The further west one lives in NoMh-Garatiaa the earlier bulbs should be planted. A practice that may help you to enjoy more success with tulips is refrigerating the bulbs for several weeks before planting them. The hydrator of the regrigerator is a good place to put the bulbs. Tulips like an extra long period of cold weather. In other words, typical Tar Heel winters aren't long enough for the maximum per formance of tulips here, but they still add much beauty to the spring landscape.
