MESS FAVORABLE BUI SLOW FOR PROPOSED OREGON MET IMPROVEMENT ! Congressman Herbert Bonner Informed Project Favorably Reported By Division Engineer, But Procedure Will Require Year or Two i Congressman Herbert C. Bonner' early this week informed The Herald that he had received a letter from the division engineer, Corps of Engineers, advising him that the Ore gon Inlet project had been favorably reported and had been referred to the chief of engineers in Washington. | Mr. Bonner stated, however, that the project must be approved by the chief of engineers and the Board of Engineers in Washington and then reported to the Committee on Public Works in Congress. The committee must then approve the proposal and include it in a public works bill which must Be passed by Congress. Fur ther, after all that, moneys must be included in an appropriations bill to defray the expenses of the project. Mr. Bonner mentioned the above | procedure so that readers will under stand just how long it will be, ap proximately one or two years, before work on this project, if it is enacted into law, can be initiated. In connection with the project, Congressman Bonner recently received a letter from Col. Mason J. Young, division engineer of the Corps of En gineers, which is as follows: “For the informatin of all who may have an interest in the investigations regarding the advisability of Federal improvement of Oregon Inlet in North Carolina and connecting channels, concerning which a public hearing was held at Manteo on March 6, 1946, notice is hereby given that the re port thereon, authorized by resolu tions of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors, U.

Farms Urged Now Is Time to Make Farm Machinery Safe Says County Agent With spring planting just around the corner, now is the time to make farm machinery safe and serviceable for the coming season, points out C. W. Overman, county agent far the State College Extension Service. It is not enough says the agent, to give machinery “a lick and a pro -1 mise” and hope you can get by. The most Beautiful BUY for Performance with Economy Every test you make at the traffic light, on the hills, on the The most Beautiful straightaway—and of gasoline and oil mileage at journey’s end— BU\ for Comfort will confirm jnmr own deep-seated conviction that Chevrolet is the most beautiful buy of all for performance with economy!

Poorly conditioned equipment reduces an operator’s efficiency and multiplies the chances for accidents. It is ir ritating and fatiguing, and it fosters carelessness. According to Mr. Overman, the National Safety Council recommends that all farm equipment be checked thoroughly before field work starts. Look for defects in hitches, seats, clutches, wheels, brakes, steering and unguarded gears or shafts. Make repairs now and head off costly J breakdowns or accidents during the busy season. Careful operators will also take time to equip tractors with fire ex tinguishers and provide secure hold- j ers for grease guns or other service I ing tools carried on the tractor Loose accessories may lead to falls j or other casualties. A secure step | limit lining wear or score brake drums, lining life t is practically doubted. Chevrolet is the first full sized car in America to bring you this important braking advancement! or grab bar may prevent an accident in getting on or off the tractor. See that all fuel lines are tight and check fuel servicing equipment. A leaky hose or valve can easily lead to a costly fire. If the fuel supply is too close to farm buildings for safety take time to move it before a* ac cident occurs. 0 —H DIAMONDS THE IDEAL GIFT! I CAMPEN’S I JEWELERS QiuuiiHiiuiniHHmM '6 PAGE FIVE
