Names Must Be In Pot
Between July 1 and
July 21
, Cities and towns were told last week
to get their names in the pot between 1
July | and July 21 if they want a slice 1
of 1952 iPoweU Bill funds.
between four and a half '
and five mfillion dollars will be di- 1
vided up between eligible incorporated
cities and towns, based half on popu
lation and half on non-state System
street mileage.
Highway Chairman Henry Jordan
has advised mayors of the state’s
cities and towns of the deadlines for
filing necessary data with the High
way Commission.
Chairman Jordan advised the may
ors that the Highway Commission is
required by law to determine which
towns and cities are eligible to receive
Powell Bill street aid allocations, and
also to compute allocations for all
eligible towns. These computations
are based half on population and half
on non-system street mileage. The
* Commission has the papulation data,
he said, but it will be necessary for
the towns and cities to furnish street
f mileage data and maps.
The Powell Bill provides that street
add allocations from one-Oxalf cent
of the State’s motor fuel tax be paid
cities and towns by October 1 of each
year. These certificates of eligibility
> and mileage figures must be submit
ted for all eligible towns in advance
to allow them time to compute allo
• cations for each city and town.
In addition to this, and entirely sep
arate from the current 1952 alloca
tions, Chairman Jordan reminded the
mayors that the law requires every
town receiving Powell Bill money dur
ing the last year to submit a report
to the Highway Commission on re
ceipts and expenditures of Powell
Bill money.

additional training to many eligible
veterans. '
Prior to this change, a veteran in
training could not secure approval for
a change in course unless an appli
cation for such a change was filed by
him while still actively pursuing his
course or while he was in a temporary
interrupted status. He could not se
cure approval for additional education
or training in normal progression af
ter he had satisfactorily completed his
counse.
Now the veteran’s application for
such additional progressive educa
tion or training, if received by the
Veterans Administration within 30
days after the completion of the
course, may be considered, provided
that following completion of his
course, the veteran does actually
commence pursuit of the additional
education or training on the first date
as of which enrollment of students in
the course is permitted or within 30
days whichever is later.
All veterans who may qualify for
the additional training are urged to
contact the District Office of the
North Carolina Veterans Commission
located at 206 Kramer Building, Eliz
abeth City, or J. L. Wiggins, Chowan
County Service Officer, Edenton, for
assistance in making applications.

• It is a well-known fact that the

It has been found that applications
of certain plant hormones to the blos
soms will cause fruits to set. In many
cases these fruits are seedless or al
most seedless.
Experiments have shown that, in
the case of tomatoes, it is only worth
while to spray the hormone on the
first two or three clusters. These hor
mones are now available at any seed
store under various trade names.
They should be used according to the
directions given by the manufacturer;
otherwise they may cause damage or
heavy wrinkling of the tomato fruits.
The material should be sprayed on
the open blossoms with an atomizer

Take a new Cadillac home with you—use it with
common prudence and give it reasonable care—
—and ten years from today, there should be many,
many people anxious to drive it and call it their own!
The soundness of this prediction is attested on
used car lots throughout America. Every day, buyers
are taking possession of Cadillacs built before the war
—and are doing so with pride and anticipation.
There are many and vital reasons for this enduring
value of a Cadillac car.
First, of course, is quality. Cadillacs are built to
the highest standard it is practical to enforce in the
production of a motor car.
The watchword and the goal of those who de
sign and build for Cadillac are one and the same—
how good and how enduring can this car be made?
Year in and year out, the search for improvement
goes relentlessly ahead.
Small wonder that the car keeps its youth and
its performance—far, far beyond the normal span.

time it will require at least two appli
cations for each cluster. Many com
mercial growers are now using fruit
setting hormones succesafuly and
there is no reason why they should
not be successful in the home garden
especially in cool growing seasons.
The fact that main fruits would be
seedless would be an added attraction
or incentive.

And then there is its sound and enduring beauty.
Cadillac styling is a development— with continuous
improvement and refinement. Older Cadillacs, of
course, are not to be mistaken for the current ones; «
but, regardless of age, they are still Cadillacs— and
are distinguished and dignified in their own rights.
And then, of course, there is the wonderful Cadillac
name—which never loses its significance, no matter
how old the car which bears it. Year for year and age
for age, a Cadillac is always aside and apart from
other cars.
It is not unusual for a Cadillac to pass through
four or five or even six different families each one
owning it with pride and driving it with pleasure.
Think of this when you buy your next car. If you
get a Cadillac—there can be no doubt that others
will be eager to own it when it has served you the
normal span.
Why not come in—and see and drive this wonder
ful car? We’d be happy to welcome you any time.
