V«flLL GOD REMEMBER SPRING?
By Helen Frazee-Bower
Will God remember spring this
year, when all
The world has grimmer business
than to look
Oil beauty Will He let the old
songs fall
From downy throats, unsheathe
the icy brook.
Splash color with divine
abandonment.
Drench us with perfume? Will
Try Us First

He think it worth
His while to make a spring, when
men consent
Again to slaughter, and wa^
walks the earth?
Oh, I am starved for beauty!
Though the drum
Beat out destruction, I cannot
forget
Earth’s gracious green adventure,
and I come,
Heartsick to pluck one long
stemmed violet.
Last year I found them in this very

N. C. Home Owners
Pay Termite Losses

Wood stains and decay are cost
ing Southern homeowners $50 mil
lion a year.
This is the conservative esti
mate of John Gray, who heads
Extension Forestry at North Caro
lina State college. And he believes
North Carolina homeowners could
save a total of $500,000 a year
through termite-proofing alone.
“In the post-war period, wood
products used in home construc
tion have suffered a loss in repu
tation and a decreased volume use
per dwelling due to improper sea
soning, lack of pre-treatment with
preservatives and slipshod con
struction methods,” notes Gray.
‘For the South as a whole, losses
due to stains and decay are con
servatively estimated at $5 million
a year.”
To these direct losses must be
added indirect costs due to down
grading of quality of wood pro
ducts in process of manufacture
and costs of replacing decayed
members in service, says Gray.
“The latter are higher generaliy
than costs of initial installation.”
Gray says that without proper
lumber and soil pre-treatment,
coupled with correct construction
methods and annualv inspections,
all houses built on newly cleared
land in North Carolina generally
suffer an infestation of eastern
subterranean termites in seven
years.
“A considerable proportion of
this damage from stains, decay and
termites is preventable,” says Gray.
“New buildings can be termite-
proofed for less than half of one
per cent of the total construction
cost.”
Technology is already developed
in the area of stain, decay and
termite prevention. “Manufactur
ers need to adopt this technology
in order to improve product quali
ty and serviceability, regain some
of the lost market and hold ex
isting markets,” says Gray. “Lend
ing agencies should require proper
ly seasoned and treated wood pro
ducts in construction which they
finance as a collateral protection
measure.”

colorful Jesse Davis, who was
somebody rough for defense at
torneys to reckon with when he
swung into action.
Greenville’s D. M. (Red) Clark,
who came along after Davis depart
ed from the scene, was as colorful
as Jesse, and may even have sur
passed him. Clark was not only an
excellent prosecutor, especially
when he was steamed up over a
case, but was unbeatable at the
polls. Dick Bundy found this out
to his sorrow.
When Red died, Bundy took over
to continue Greenville’s claim on
the office. Since Bundy’s successor,
Bob Rouse, was from Farmville, it
meant that three Solicitors in a
row were from Pitt county.
Half the world’s troubles can be
traced to saying yes too quickly,
and half to saying no not quickly
enough.
