FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL takes courage, but these jaunty little lasses have plenty of that. Their "little red schoolhouse" is likely to be white, but like American youngsters, they can look forward to a good education even though they live in a tiny village. The Turks believe in "education for democracy." That's why they have a public school system that is free from kindergarten through college. Determined to raise the educational level of the country even further, they have more than doubled the allotment for education in the last five years. When the school bells ring this year, almost two million children will answer them a record number for Turkey. 4 Landowners Urged To Order Tree Seedlings At Early Date Miss Mary Sumner entertained her bridge club Tuesday night, at her home on Church Street. Those playing were Mesdames C. M. W:l liford, T. L. Jessup, C. R. Holmes, G. W. Barbee, 'C. E. Johnson, J. D Coston, J. T Biggers and Miss. Ruby While The high score prize went to Mrs. Johnson. A sweet course was served. v Landowners and others planning i to plant forest tree seedlings' dur ing the 1955-66 planting season are warned by the Department of Con servation and Development to get their orders .in if they expect to get any seedlings. ' , . ! Some thirty million seedlings are slated to be produced during the 1955-56 planting season at the three nurseries owned and operat ed by the C&D Department's for estry division. ; : i To date orSers for seedlings for planting during the coming season have reached the 22 million mark. Last season the nurseries produced about 24 million seedlings, a record high since the C&D Department first began growing forest tree seedlings in 1925. Nurseries are operated near Clayton, Henderson- ville and Gtldsboro. . . " . "The increasing number of for est tree seedlings being planted in North Carolina is a growing indi cation that landowners are regard ing timber and pulp wood produc tion as much of a cash crop as cot ton, corn or tobacco," said C&D Director Ben E, Douglas. . Orders for tree seedlings should be sent, without delay to the office of .the State Forester, Education Building, Raleigh; or to the county forest ranger or county farm agent. Seedling shipments start around November 15 from the. Goldsboro! and .Clayton nurseries, with those from the ' Hendersonville nursery getting underway a littfle later. i .: Whoever lfves true life will love true love. ' ' E. B. Browning.
