Olentangy Preserves Natural Beauty ■ On the banks of the Olentangy River, about three miles from the center of Columbus, Ohio, is the large Georgian Colonial garden apartment project known as Olentangy Village. Taking full advan tage of the natural beauty of the situation ar.d with studied orientation of the buildings giving most of them a southern exposure, Olentangy Village provides attractive living quarters for over 400 fam ilies. The 401 units of the group comprise 1,376 rooms with a total valuation of $2,200,000. The Federal Housing Administration insured a mortgage of $1,735,000 on the property. The average rental per room in Olentangy Village is $14.08. with family unit rentals averaging $17.96. Skipper Gets SB.OO After About 20 Years In Mail Boston, Mass., August S While bill collectors have been known to dun creditors for old accounts years after they became due, a payment that takes 20 j years to catch up with the de- 1 tor is considered to be as much | news at the traditional “man bites dog." At least that’s the consen sus along the waterfront today, as old salts discuss the pros and cons of what happened to Cap’n Dahlgaard’s mail. It seems that the veteran skip per brought his ship, the Ameri can steamer Metapan, into port, from Puerto Cortes, Honduras, and was given the letters that had accumulated at the owner's office. Among them was one from New Orleans, postmarked July 2, 1920. But the question discussed a round Long Wharf today of whe ther the letter might have been in the cutsody of a modem Rip Van Winkle, is less surprising than the contents of the letter— a Post Office money order for SB. The sender was a long-time as sociate of the skipper, back in the days when he was a third mate, and tried to help his fellowmen over the hard spots of sea life. The debt had been long forgot ten. To cap the climax, the skippe” inquired at the Post Office and found that because it had taken 20 years for them to get the let ter to him, it would now take a bout three months to go through the necessary red tape to col’ect the $8 —without interest —on an order held beyond the normal limit. o CONTRIBUTIONS LISTED Raleigh, August B.—Contribu tions from liable employers in North Carolina to the Unemploy ment Compensation Fund throu gh July 31, including 1936 col lections att the rate of 0.9 per cent of the payrolls, 1937 collect ions at 1.8 per cent of the pay rolls, and 2.7 per cent of the pay rolls since, amounted to $36,06,- 046.41, to which is added $930, 016.19 in interest on this state’s deposit balance in the U. S. Treas ury, giving total receipts of $37,736,062.60. Benefits in the 31 months since January 1, 1938, amounted to $15,412,236.84, thr ough July, leaving a balance of $22,323,825.76. This balance is Subject to reduction of $750,000 to $1,200,000 to be turned over to the Railroad Retirement o UNDER Total continental European sup plies of the bread grains, wheat and rye, appear to be 5 to 10 per cent under peacetime consumption requirements this year, reports the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. , J-ady’s Choice Summer heat and hnmidity can be laughed off, says Brenda Tslbut of New York city, if you dress properly and sip milk every now and then. » National Guards Not Eligible For Compensation Raleigh, August B.—North Caro - lina National Guardsmen, who happen to be out of work and drawing unemployment compen sation while at home, will not be eligible for these benefits during the three weeks of summer train ing in military camps and forts, Chairman Charles G. Powell, of the N. C. Unemployment Com pensation Commission, announc es. Inquiries have been received from local Employment Service offices about this point, particul arly from Charlotte. “The Commission feels that it would be socially desirable, but legally impossible to pay unem ployment benefits to otherwise eligible unemployed workers who are called to the camps during the summer training period,” said Chairman Powell. On advice of General Counsel Adrian J. Newton, he pointed out that these guardsmen will not be able to sign the weekly continued claims in the local offices, nor will they be “available for work,” both of which are required be fore a claimant can draw benefits under the law. Also there is the question of whether or not they are “employed” while in the service of Uncle Sam. Naturally, such claimant guardsman will be eligible for benefits when they return from camp and can sign the weekly continued claims, thus showing that they are again available for work, arid are not employed - if otherwise eligible for benefits - Mr. Powell pointed out. Growers Make Ready To Sow Winter Peas Austrian winter peas will pay a major role in protecting North Carolina farm land against the ravages of soil erosion during the cold bleak months, says E. C. ! Blair, agronomist of the State College Extension Service. Already growers have ordered more than 1,500,000 pounds of Austrian pea seed through the AAA’s grant-of-aid program for spreading a green blanket over their unprotected lands this win ter. Blair said the seed should be planted between September 1 and October 15, the earlier the better. On land where they have never been grown before, the seed should be broadcast at the rate of 30 to 40 pounds to the acre. Twenty to 30 pounds is enough when drilling peas or when broad casting on land that is well-in oculated. The seed must be inoculated unless they are sown on land that is already inoculated. Land inocu lated for vetch or for garden peas (May peas) does not require in oculation for Austrian peas. Although this legume is a soil builder, it will pay to use some fertilizer under the crop. On good soils of the Coastal Plains, Blair recommendes 200 pounds per acre of an 018-6 mixture. For poor soils, he suggests 200 pounds of a 4-8-6 fertilizer. In the Mountain and Piedmont, best results will be secured with 200 pounds of a 0-10-4 on good on the poorer soils. The fertilizer application to the crop following the peas may then be reduced by these amounts. Austrian peas may be planted after corn, cotton, tobacco, pea nuts, soybeans, cowpeas, and other crops. They may be turned under in time to plant the same crops they followed, with the ex ception of tobacco and in some counties cotton. ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES FOR RESULTS.

C. 37th Farm-Home Week Hailed As Best Ever Held Two thousand farm men and women are back home with mem ories of what most of them hail ed as the best Farm and Home Week ever held at N. C. State col lege in the 37 years of the his tory of this annual event. With few exceptions, every one of North Carolina’s TOO counties was represented at the convention in Raleigh. W. L.

National! Guard; the Rev. John C. Glenn j of Raleigh; Dean R. B. House of the University of North Carolina; Jonathan Daniels, editor and author, and literally dozens of others who addressed special groups. About 600 county and com munity AAA committeemen at i tended the convention and held three afternoon sessions at which phases of the Agricultural Con servation Program were discuss ed and recommendations for im provements made. Carl Olson of j the National Defense Commission and several National and region al AAA leaders spoke before this group. The resolution committee took note of one lack when it recom mended that an auditorium to seat at least 5,000 persons be built on the State College camp us. The general assemblies were held in Pullen Hall, which seats only about 1,300, and in Riddick Stadium which cannot be used in bad weather. Loud speakers enabled those unable to gain entrance to Pullen Hall for the morning programs to hear the talks and discussions. Professional Cards s. F. NICKS, JR.
