Senator Scott Talks Of Parkway Tolls ' Washington.—Once again, con troversy has flared over the col lection of fees, or tolls, to travel over the Blue Ridge Parkway. On several occasions, the Na tional Park Service has tried to impoee tolls on the Parkway. The latest effort came a few weeks ago when notice waa given by the Park Service that fees to travel on the Parkway would be collected beginning June 1, 1MB. I think K is too much to hope that Secretary of the Interior, Fred Sea ton, who haa jurisdiction over the Parkway, will voluntarily re acted the order to start tolls. I think It will be noceeeary for CMgress to take action to settle the matter. The last time the Park So i We triad to impoee tolls on the Parkway, the Administration fail ed to call the dogs off until the Howe Appropriations Committee directed it to stop the toll plans. This year, the same appropria tions bill baa cleared the House. Perhaps Secretary Seaton thought be was being clever In waiting for the money bill to pass the House fc.fn.iis t-a labMOil tkn oi-iIt ■wore oc imum me onwr. The Mil. however, hss not paaaed the Senate. The whole business of collecting tolls on national parks sad park ways has reached the point where Congress Is going to have to work out some sort df program that makes sense. Unless something is done, it means that all parks and park ways are at the mercy of ad minlstrators who want to show a good aM of books on park oper ations rather than equal treatment. It la true that the Part Service far some years has collected fees and toils for using park and park way facilities, bat there Is no uni form system and no pattern to the Tolls and fees are collected. So the Park Service says. In order for these who use the facilities to help pay the freight, so to apeak Bat the Park Service is being vary unfair In fact, there's noth tec that makes sense a boat the pk» If teey are looking tar funds to help pay for operating the Park Service, then they onght to #o what* they can get the*. Hat a wMqper has Ml teard ^mMtmTtiui'.. MM to collect tolls on the Baltimore Washington Parkway, which car ries a< much dally traffic a* any highway on the Bait Coast and ii operated by the Park Service. It was built to connect Washington and Baltimore and to provide a more scenic route than the un sightly U. S. 1 Route between these two cities. If the Park Service wants, to raise money, it could get more revenue from charging a Dickie a car on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway than IS a year - on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is another shining ex ample of 1 neons latency in the argu ment that the Park Service Is pro poosing tolls to help pay the coat of operation, i Millions of Americans have trav eled over the beautiful highway from Washington to Mount Ver non. That highway is 1 national parkway. But there is no toll on It. The main purpose of the road is to furnish a alee access to the home of George Washington. I think this Is a good thing. I think It is proper. Mount Vernon Is not operated by a Federal agency. Why should the Park Service not collect a toll for the use of this road? None of the toll business makes sense, tt has been botched and muddled to the place where Con gress will have to step In. CONCESSIONS URGED The United States it urging both France and Tunisia to make eon cessions in the tough terms each has put forth for settling their bitter dispute over Algerts. United Stales officials privately concede that unless both sides are willing to give a little in the poai- I tioni they have taken, the Rrltlah United States conciliation mission la faced with failure.

Healthy Herd Is Vital Need A• healthy herd If essential to efficient, profitable dairy produc tion. But detpite great itrides made In control method*, disease organiams continue to cut produc tion and eat up the profit! in many dairy herda. T. C. Blalock. dairy specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Exten sion Service, says the worst "thieves" are chronic diseases that slip in unnoticed and slowly eat away a cow's ability to produce efficiently. Blalock aayi mastitis causes the largest losses. Acute mastitis is eaaily detected and readily de stroyed; therefore. It receives prompt treatment. But the chronic form, caused by many different organisma, la often not recognized becauae few notleeable symptoms develop. Damage to the secretory tissue occur*, however, and changes take place more or leaa gradually in the udder, depending upon the virul ence of the infection. Eventually the cow become* uaeless, but long before that milk drops in produc tion and quality, and the cow be comes an economic liability to her owner. A herd known to be infected with mastitis or ether diieases should be treated promptly by a veterinarian, say* Blalock. Sani tary management practices are essential for preventing and con trolling diaeaee. These Include clean, dry bedding; control of flies, rata and other diaease car riers. Milking machine* should be disinfected carefully, kept in good running order and uaed according to manufacturer*' instruction! to avoid iejurtea to the udder or in troduction of disease germ*. Daily use of the' (trip cup before each milking is • must in an effective maatltia control program. County agent* and N. C. Sute College specialists can help a dairy farmer cut loeae* from dis ease by closing gapa in hi* sanita tion practices and improving hi* herd management program.

The ho«t (quad won the tournament after a grueling battle with a team from Fort Bragg Army Base. The final team score read 88 for the Mountaineers and 82 for the Army team. , This victory was nothing new for Coach "Red" Watkins and his Mountaineers. Appalachian has never been excluded from the team title in the previous eighteen meets. In IMS the Marines of Camp Lejeune held the Apps to a tie for the title, but in the other seventeen tournaments "Red" Wat kins' aquad had emerged victorious. Fort Bragg was favored to win this meet and after they gained a one-point lead over their hosts go ing Into the finals some people were conceding the title. Not Wat kins, however. When asked If he had expected to win, he wa* quick to reply, "Of course I thought we would win. I never expect to loae." He admitted, however, that he "knew it was going to be close." Appalachian came up with four of the ten individual champions. Fort Bragg waa cloae in the indi vidua] honors, ai was High Point YMCA. Each had three champions.

All Farmers Eligible For 1958 ACP Program Any Watauga County farmer is eligible to participate in the 1998 Agricultural Conservation Pro garm and farmen in all counties are signing up to carry out spring practices under this national pro gram of soil and water conserva tion, Vaughn Tugraan, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilisation and Conservation County Commit tee. said today. To sign up, • farmer should contact the local ASC office. In singing up under the 1958 ACP to carry out soil and water con servation practices, the farmer doe* not obligate himself In any way, but he does become the key participant in a farmer-govern ment partnership which can mean much for the future strength of our agriculture. The ACP for 1998 is a flexible program thy can be tailored to fit the conservation needs of every farm in Watauga county. This flexibility that really meets the coaaervatlon needs of farmers of the county was brought about through the combined efforts of the Soil Conaervation Service, the Forest Service, the Extension Ser vice. and the ASC. Under the 1987 ACP. 78,783 farmers joined hands with tax payer* to strengthen the Nation's foil and water resources. Accord lag to Tugman, the fact that there art now ampl# supplies of all ma jor foods to meet our domestic and export bleeds is an indication of the effectiveness of the pro gram In which the farmers and the nation share the cost of prac tice* which protect the nation's food and fiber-producing ability. Partner* who cooperate with this program must put up their share of the out-of-pnekM coat of \ the approved conservation pnci tice as well as perform all labor involved. In turn the farmer and the Government enter Into a con tract which work* to the benefit of both partner*. GI LOAN DISCOUNT RAISED The Veterana Administration has raised the discount ceiling on GI home loans in an effort to sti mulate the flow of private funds for the shrinking program. Discounts Up to 6"6 per cent will be permitted, depending on the locality and the amount of down payment. The former top was SVi per cent imposed last August under requirements of the' 1957 ftouslng Act. GERM-KILLING GAS Jersey City, N.
