Fast-Crowing Fleet Of Two Wheelers Now On The Highways Kidnap Victim b Hosjntalized A Cherryville farmer-proauce dealer who told authorities he was kidnapped, robbed and beat en by two men and a woi.Tian was reported in good condition at a York County hospital Wednes day. Webb Beam, 53, of Route 1, Cherrywille, was found walJcing on a road near Clover, S. C., Tuesday afternoon after he was beaten and robbed about four miles south of Kings Mountain on the Dixon School Road. Beam's wife, in an interview from Divine Saviour Hospital in York Tuesday night, said her husband told her his alleged ab ductors kept stepping on his throat and threatening to kill him. The hospital said he had bruis cs on the neck and back of the head. Beam and Hubert Camp, an IS-year-old Negro, were on their way to South Carolina to buy a truck-load of peaches when they stopped at Hord Spring Dixon School to ask directions to get to Interstate 85 Camp said that two men—one about 40 and the other in his 20’s—and a woman about 50 were getting water at the spring when Beam approached to ask direc tions. Camp said that the three started beating Beam and that he drove iback to Cherryville be fore calling law authorities Camp called the Lincoln Coun ty sheriff’s department. A spokes man for that department said that the three aMuctors asked Beam for money to buy liquor, picked a fight with him, put him In their car and drove off. The three abductors were re portedly driving a white-over- blue 1954 Ford. C. H. (Qus) Huffstetler of the Cleveland County sheriffs de partment went to Clover to help in the investigation < RALEIGH — How do veteran officers who cut their law en forcement teeth on motorcycles feel about the fast-growing fleet of two-wheelers now on the highways? Col. Charles Speed, Comman der of the North Carolina High way Patrol has explicit views on the problem. In his early days as a patrolman. Speed logged thousands of motorcycle miles on Tar Heel roads. “I respect the right of anyone who meets North Carolina’s legal requirements to operate a two- wheel vehicle upon the high ways,” says Speed. “But I’ll tell you this — the motorcycle is potentially the most dangerous vehicle anyone can ride. And un less the motorcycle operator knows what he’s doing when he gets on .the road, his iife-ex pectancy takes a posedive.” One of the major reasons that motorcycle accidents are becom ing so prevalent, says Col. Speed, is the number of young cyclists who are inexpert at operating the vehicle. “I’m afraid that far too many young motorcycle operators re gard the vehicle as a toy,” Speed declared. “Believe me, anyone who treats it as a plaything will find it about as lethal as a load ed gun.” The veteran officer called up on the parents of young motor cycle owners to study carefully the death and injury rate in motorcycle accidents in North Carolina. “The motorcyclist is almost three times as likely to be fatal ly injured in a smashup as the driver of a car,” Speed observed. “And his chances of serious in- j jury are far greater.” Use of an adequate crash hel met by all motorcycle operators is a safety “must”. Speed said “Most motorcycle injuries are to the head — horrible wounds which could have been lessened or prevented by the protection ,o( a helmet.” The Patrol Commander also mentioned use of a “spill bar” on motorcycles as an important safety device. Such a bar, he said, would-help prevent serious injury to the legs and pelvis in two-wheeler crashes. “Most important of all,” Speed added, “is know-how. Nobody has any business riding a mo torcycle on the highways unless he has the skill to operate it properly.” “And far too many of today’s crop of motorcyclists do not have the necessary skill,” said Col. Speed. The Patrol Commander knows first-hand about the dangers of motorcycling. A number of years ago, Speed was operating his Patrol motorcycle along a state highway when a car made a left turn directly in his path. Unable to avoid a collision. Speed rammed into the rear door of the other vehicle. TTie motorcycle plowed through the car door and ended up on the rear seat, with motor still roar ing. Speed himself turned a somersault in the air and land ed on his back atop the auto mobile. “I was lucky,” says the Colonel. “Nothing much was hurt except for my dignity. But there are many, many other motorcyclists who aten't so lucky.” Antioch Sets Homecoming Day Antioch Baptist churck will observe Homecoming Day at special services Sunday. Rev. Wayne Tuttle, pastor of the church, will deliver the ser mon at the 11 a.m. worship serv ice. Sunday School will toe held at 10 a.m^ City To Buy Fogging Machine said Mayor John H. Moss Wednesday the city expects to acquire a fogging machine within the next few days for mosquito control. TTie mayor said the machine will spray malathion insecti cide. The thermal fog machine produces a very fine spray which hangs low over the ground penetrating the area occupied by adult mosquitoes. 'The fogging will be done dur ing the cool hours of the night or early morning Mayor Moss said the ma chine meets the approval of county health officials.

Mixing lime with soil should be easy but in practice it is a different matter, states County Extension Chairman H .R. Clapp. To derive the most benefit from lime it must be mixed with the surface six to eight inches of soil. This is necessaiy because it moves very little from point of application and its beneficial ef fects are limited pretty much to wher it is applid. This very fact makes the satisfactory applica tion of lime rather difficult. Lime is most effective when intimately mixed with all the soil particles that make up the surface six to eight inches or plow layer”. Consequently, not only do we have to get the lime down in the soil, it has to be mixed with the soil as well. The best way to apply lime will depend upon your equipment and available labor. One possi bility and one that assures a good imix is to apply one half of the lime before plowing, disc it two times. Admittedly, this is the most expensive method, and possibly should Mot be used ex cept where more than two tons of lime are needed and quick re suits are desired, such as would be the case near planting time. A method that is frequently used for more moderate appli cations is to apply the lime (be fore plowing and then disking the land two (or three times to a depth of four to six inches. Applying lime and getting good results is not easy. Mixing it to plow depth is most import ant. The agricultural lime that we use in North Carolina is limestope rock that has been ground to a fineness required by North Carolina law. Limestone rock, even though finely ground does not dissolve readily in wa ter, therefore, we have to place and mix it with the part of the soil that we want it to effect. Anoher thing, have your soil tested first to check lime needs. By M. E. GARDNER N. C. State University Watercore is a growth disorder that appears as apples mature on the tree..

It does appear to show promise, though, not only for the preven tion of watercore and pre-harvest drop, but also for its dwarfing and increased flowering effect on apple, pear and sweet cherry trees. Mrs. Spiatt's Rites Condnded Funeral rites for Mrs. Cora Bridges Spratt, 85, widow of Ira Clinton Spratt, were held Sunday at 3 p.m. from Kings Mountain Baptist church of which she was member. i..

While B-995 slows fruit maturity, some com mercial sprays apecd up matU' rity, thus oMitrlbutlng to the development of watercore in the fruit. The sdentists point out that further testing will be necessary to determine the best time and rate of applying the material, the possible effect of the retar dant on the trees and the effects on storing, andeating qualities of the apple*- This is a prqgiress report, as , B-995 baa noA been released for Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Grady Davison of Moores- bOro, Mrs. Willard Irvin of Tako- ma Park, Md. and Mrs. W.
